The present is nn opportune time for preparing conveniences that may be made in the work shop for future use. A farmer can hardly comprise in his stock of farm appliances too many ladders: short ladders. long ladders and step ladders being all required at one time or other. The accompanying cut shows a wonder- fully convenient ladder. which, while by no means new..is very desirable. It plays, according to :u'ljustment, the dual part of step ladder and an ordinary straight ladder. a err-.2 AND amateur LADDER I}: arc." The idea is conveyed in the cut, in‘ which the two parts are shown ready to “'hiic the Kansas correspondent doe. not seriously object to the very usual mode of training two limbs from opposite sides (.5 the stem of a tree. he considers it to be fur better forthe growthof all above for only one limb to start from the stem at any one place.

In order to see the street plainly I had been forced to protrude my shoulders through the aperture. which is much too small to permit one to turn round. Before I had time to withdraw my head the touch became a. grip, and two stout arms were about my waist. I was held as in a vise! Picture to yourself my position. Night was falling: I was alone, and a prisoner, in my own house. A prisoner of what? or whom: I might call, but who would hear me? I knew the house was empty.

The house is a fragment of the pastâ€"a half decayed relic of the year 1810â€" so unlike a modern house that people gaze at it curiously as they pass along the fashiona- ble thoroughfare upon which it fronts. A mansion of gray sandstone, it stands in the midst of extensive grounds, shaded by noble oaks, elms, pines and sycamores. Such elms there are in various portionsof New Eng- land. such pines over Fenimore Cooper’s grave at Otsego lake, such oaks near Niagara or in the blue grass regions of Kentucky, such sycamores along the Ohio or the Wa- bash; but there are few places where one finds them grouped together. They give the place an air of seclusion such as brooded over Kenilworth. Close inspectionis required to determine that the house is built- of stone. Vines cover it from foundation to roof, half Cont-caling doors and windows, andâ€"musing up under the eaves ingreat swells oriyerdure. There are ivy, Virginia creepers and trumpet vines, and I.would gladly have more'were tlicrc space for them to grow. . it is just such a home as a retiring old bachelor like myself loves. I new]. scarcely describe the interior. I call it comfortable, tidy housekeepem theaven de- fend inc. from them!) would can it slovenly. My aged housekeeperjs not ambitious.

The dampnessan-l mustlness have never been apparent to me, and rpnyhouse- keeper ‘has never mentioned the subject; I therefore conclude that the trouble lies chiefly in the fancy of certain prying and offloious women, who have not enough, at home to keep them busy. ~ ‘ ' ' ' “ I confess that such remarks Up in my attic, opening toward the main street, is a small circular window, which swings back on a hinge. the light. rowsâ€"a. truly detestable birdâ€"but robins and bluebird: also visit the place at intervals.
