The poiU are the same as for other fence, bat tiiey are set nine feet four inches apart. The rails are cut ten feet long with cross-cut saw, and split much Ilk slabs as possible. These rails, without any trimming- except a little at each end, when they are too thick for a ten-penny nail, are nailed with tiie ends on alternate aides of the fxxsts.

This Is done so that the nils of each pane are out of the way of tiie rails of the next panel. By this method the rails can be nailed just as close together as desired, and all openings ean be made pretty close, even when the rails are somewhat crooked. I have tried to nail both ends of the rails on the same side of the two posts, and notwithstanding much timo and labor was spent in trying to make a close fence. 1 had to giTe it up as a failure, and adopted that just deseribeiL Four rails are nailed as closo as desired, at the bottom, then three strands of barbed wire at the top.

Tims it Tabs to Kiss.

The other day some New York dan-dies tried to realize tho length of a minute by holding their breath, but that pastime proved too exhaustive, and had quickly been dropped when two girls met and kissed on the opposite side of the sidewalk. "What's the average duration of was asked. Interest in the question- languidly arose. A proposition ta investigate the subject was made. All plans of procedure were rejected as impracticabl and untrustworthy, however, until somebody hit upon the idea of going to the Grand Central depot at the time of an arriving train and accurately observing the kisses asunpremeditately made.

I am able to give the resulting data. Thirteen kisses were measured as to duration from the instant of contact to that of Two of these were so instantaneous that the observers noted them a hundredth part of a second, and four were rather guessed than acurately timed at a fiftieth. All these were between women. The next group of five kisses were recorded at twentieth. The couples were divided as to sex, but were made of persons whose ties were presumably those ai consanguinity.

Tiien camo'a full half-minute kiss that of a little girl and man who was, ilou'itless, her father. The longest of the thirteen was ovet a minute, according to the time-keeper, but tho reliability of the record was questioned on the ground that there was a succession of kisses instead of continuous conjunctiqn of the lips. This couple was composed of either youuo married folks or of sweethearts who felt sure they were among total strangers. There was no hurry reserve about their affectionate greet, ing.
