The Plymouth REPUBLICAN thinks that
it may not be complimentary to our wife
for us to speak Of her as our 4" better and
handsomer half" Perhaps not, but the Re-
PUBLICAN editor ought to know enough
not to mix into family affairs. We would
not say q word about 1t, even If we knew
his wife was the homeliest mortal on earth

Bless your sensitive soull The
REPUBLICAN had not the remotest idea
of rejecting on either the goodness
or beauty of Mrs I,sdiDnian. The Re.

than that of being able to secure as
good and charming a wife as your
estimable "better half"

To find the length OF a degree of
longitude at any given latitude,
Measure the distance between two
meridians at the given parallel, and
see how many degrees 1t occupies on
the equator or quadrant. Multiply
this number OF equatorial degrees by
sixty-nine and one sixth and you
have the distance in miles between
the two meridians at the given lati-
tude; and this distance divided by the
number OF degrees between the two
meridians Q5 degrees) on most globes)
will give the length OF one degree.

/ Kings xviii: a. SO.

36. And it came to pass at the
time OF the Offering of the evening
sacrifice. that Elijah the prophet came
near, and said, Lord God Of Abraham
Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known
this day that have done all these
things at thy word.
81. Hear me, o Lord, hear me, that
this people may know that thou art
the Lord God, and that thou hast
turned t.leir heart back again.
38. 1hen the fire Of the Lord fell
and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and
the wood and the stones, and the
dust. and licked up the water that
was in the trench.
SO. And when all the people saw
1t, they fell on their faces: and they
said, The Lord, he Is the God; the
Lord, he Is the God.
40. And Elijah said unto them,
Take the prophets of Baal; let not
one OF them escape. And they took
them: and Elijah brought them down
to the brook Kishon, and slew them
there.
IL. land Elijah said unto Ahab,
Get thee up, eat and drink: for there
is a sound Of abundance of rain.
AZ. So Ahab went up to eat and to
drink. And Elijah went up to the
top OF Carmel; and he cast himself
down upon the earth, and put his
face between his knees.
43. And he said unto his servant,
Go up now, look toward the sea. And
he went up, and looked, and said,
There is nothing. And he said, Go
again seven times.
A. And 1t came to pass at the sew
enth time. that he said, Behold, there
ariseth little cloud out OF the sea,
like mans hand. And he eaid, Go
up. say unto Ahab. Prepare thy char
lot, and get thee down, that the rain
stop thee not.
As. And it came to pass in the
meanwhile, that the heaven was
black with clouds, and wind, and
there was a great rain. And Ahab
rode, and went to Jezreel.
46. And the hand OF the Lord was
on Elijah; and he girded up his loins,
and ran before Ahab to the entrance
OF Jezreel.

EDUCATIONAL.
CONDUCTED BY J. F. LANGENBAUGH
FRAMELESS HousFs-

FRAMELEss HOUSES.
A new method Of house building
that dispensss with framing board
ing, lathing and plastering, has been
patented and model Of the same
was ON exhibition at the Centennial.
BY this new method a sub structure
up to the sill is prepared as for an
ordinary wooden house. The sill ia
then placed, and firmly bolted down
to the masonary. Solid wooden
slaves 81 by inches, and Of different
lengths are then prepared, and in
each is cut a groove II by II inches
the whole length on each side; inch
holes are then bored through the
sides at intervals OF Is inches. These
with number OF iron rocks, bolts,
nuts and tongues, make the entire
materials for the house except orna-
mental work that may be put on
without or within. Three slaves,
equal in length to the intended height
OF the house, or first story, il it is q
high one, are set up outside the sill,
and firmly bolted to it. Between each
piece is placed the iron tongue, reach
ing the whole length, and between
the three are placed iron rods through
the horizontal holes. Three more
slaves, each with its iron tongue, are
then set up, and more rods inserted,
while those extending through the
six slaves are screwed up tight.
| In this manner the entire exterior
wall il set up. The tongues close the
cracks tight, and the rods, arranged
to break joints, hold everything firm
and solid. For doors and windows
spaces are left, to be closed and fin.
ished afterwards in any style desired.
The first floor, made OF the same ma
terials, is laid in the same wry, and
extension rods, secured to the walls,
are placed below to give support and
strength. The partitions are set up
the second floor is laid as before. The
roof (of any Pitch is laid down in the
same way, except that each stave is
channelled, and each crack is covered
with half round battsn to shed the
rain. To secure the roof from spread
ing, tension rods are placed under
each pitch, and fastened together by
tie-rods. Balconys. piazzas, made in
any style may be added, or may be
added. and all the ornamental work,
base and weather boards, are fasten-
ed directly to the wall. All the bolts
and nuts are countersunk. When
tension rods are used under the
floors they may be bronzsd, or may
be treated as part OF the gas fixture.
By this method OF constructing houses
there is no lathing or plasterigg, no
dead spaces in the wall for fire or rats
and mice to creep in unseen, and no
opportunities for the builder to hide
poor wook. All the material is visisi-
BILE, and the walls are alike outside
and in. A building Of this character
can be erected in a very short time.
In cost the patentee claims a saving
OF 80 per cent. over frame building
of the same size.

The PRAYER Test

To the Editor of the Republican.
SHIN the last weeks issue o.
your paper you publish the story Of &
paralytic, who was restored to health
by the power Of prayer, and in edi
torially commenting on the subject
you leave the impression that the
whole thing Is mere sensational
hoax. To this permit me to remark
That I do not think that you in
tended to make light Of religion Oh
OF the power Of prayer, but that you
in common with many others assume
upon what ground / know not, that
the age of miracles has entirely
ceased. Who il prepared to prove
this?
The Rev. Arthur Mitchell, through
whom the case in question obtained
publicity, is widely known Presby-
terrain minister, eminent for talent and
sound learning. This fact should at
least secure respectful hearing and
suspension of hasty adverse criti-
cism.
That which takes place between a
truly believing soul and its God is
not ordinarily made a public matter,
and hence many instances Of Divine
interposition In answer to believing
prayer escape public notice and are
known only to those concerned.
1t is the comfort OF every true be-
lever that God hears and answers
prayer. THAT IL we ask anything ac-
cording to his will he heareth u.s."
A more faithful, simple and child
like adherence to the teachings OF the
Gospel, and more earnest and hum
bic following Of the Lord Jesus
Christ on the part OF professed
Christians, would undoubtedly be ac-
companied with more signal mani
festation Of the power Of prayer.
l.. RICHTER.
The subject Of this miracle, as sta
ted by the Rev. Arthur Mitchell, Is
the mother of Hank Davis, the ILL.,
nois murderer, who Is now in the peni-
Tertiary. 1t Is asserted that Mrs.
Davis, alias Mrs. Robertson, was pres
emit at the trial, and testified that she
took care Of her son Hank during Sc
we're attacks Of fits, certainly requir-
Ing much physical exertion on her
part, and that she travelled back and
forth between Chicago and Buffalo
without any apparent difficulty, while
from her representations Of the mira
Gle performed 1t appeared at such
time she was practically helpless.
We trust this discrepancy, as well as
the suspicious circumstance OF her
two names, will be explained
satisfactorily, but just now 1t looks
rather squally for that miracle.

Indianapolis real estate spectators
came to grief in this way: 4 piece OF
land was bought and laid on into
town lets. Connding greenhorns were
induced to buy these lots at enorm-
Gus figures, the seller securing enough
cash on the sale to pay the first cost,
taking notes and mortgages for the
balance. These notes were banked
and the cash procured on them in
vested in other real estate, which was
subdivided and sold in like manner.
This was all very fine, but with the
hard times came the inability to meet
mortgage notes. and in many cases
did not bring the amount paid for the
land before subdivision. The specu-
lator suddenly found himself COM
PEELED to take up the notes put In
bank and usually paid about ten cents
to the dollar In the bankrupt court.
Thus many men worth from fifty
to one hundred thousand dollars have
lost all.

a merry, cheerful woman-one whose
spirits are not affected by wet days, or
little disappointments, or whose milk
of human kindness does not sour in
the sunshine of prosperity. Such a
woman in the darkest hours brightens
the house like a little piece Of sun
shiny weather. The magnetism Of her
smiles and electrical brightness of her
looks and movements infect every one.
The children 60 to school with sense
of something great to be achieved her
husband goes into the world in con-
querors spirit. No matter how people
annoy and worry him all day, far of
her presence shines, and he whispers
10 himself, AT home shall find
rest" So day by day she literally re-
news his strength and energy. and if
you know q man with beaming face,

ness. in nine cases out of ten you will
find he has a wife of this kind.
