Buildings Made OF Concrete.

Few farmers know how 10 build
concrete wall vet it Is a very simple
job, and in many cases woull prove an
excellent wall for buildings and ceI-
lars. TO build such a wall Won need
TO set 3Vi ioist at the corners, then at
intervals OF about eight feet along the
outside of the wall, placing the joiSts
opposite and about eighteen inches
apart On the inside Of the joist set
up plank abouta foot wide. There
will be fifteen inches between these
pIanks, which will be the thickness of
the wall For large building,
which would have heavy floor tim
bcrs, the wall might betwo feet thick;
fora pisgcry or other small buildings
ii need not bc so thick. Have a ce-
ment made by mixing barrel of good
cement with lhrec barrels OF fine plas-
tcring sand and four barrels clean
gravel Wet this when mixed so it
Will be thick enough TO pour, and ill
between the planks, about three in
ches deep, then in that pack small
stones as closely as possible the moro
closely the stones pack the less cement
it will take. Then pour on more &C.
ment and put in more stones until
your space is full. The work must
be so planned rs to use your cement
and get the stones in it before it mas
time 10 harden. For heavy wall
plauks may be raised in twenty,.four
hours after the space is fl He'd. halSc
them about ten inches and so on as
before. We have seen u barn built
in that way, which has stood many
vc,rs. costs about the sane as timber
wall when built, and needs no paint,
no shingles, no repairs OF any sort,
while the walls are iirc-proof and rat
proof.

Don't Be So Foolish.

Old farmer Pettingill went into the
house one day, and caught the hired
man hugging Mrs. z.
The farmer said nothing and went
into the field.
After dinner he wanted John for
something, but John could not be
found.
He went at last to Johns room,
where the latter was on his knees pack
ing his trunk.
"What's the matter, Jonn?" said
Mr.. p.
"Oh, nothing" said John.
"What are you packing your trunk
for?"
I'm going away"
"Going away! What are you going
away for?"
ooh, you know
mo, | don't know" rejoined p.
"Come, give me reason for your sud
den desire to go away"
"Well," meekly replied John, "you
saw what l was doing this morning"

"dOn't be foolish. If you and | can't
hug the old woman enough, I'll hire
another man.

Beyond the ever and the never,

A Kings White Elephant.

London Daily Telegraph.
Some ten weeks ago the King of
Siam received a dispatch from one of
his provincial Governors informing
his majesty that brand-new deity in
had been captured in an outlaying
district of the kingdom, and was ac-
tually on its way to Bangkok, the
Siamese capitol. These joyful tidings
were greeted with indescribable enthu-
siasm at court, and the King at once
resolved to start in person, accompa-
MED by his Ministers, grand officers of
state, and exalted clergy, upon pro-
cessional excursion with the object of
meeting the divine pachyderm half
way and escorting it to Bangkok with
all imaginable pomp and ceremony.
The cortege, headed by his Majesty,
had not proceeded many miles on its
road toward the interior when it en-
conntered the object of it's pilgrimage.
Approaching the elephant with pro-
found reverence and many humble
salutations, the King knelt down at
its feet and reverently placed its
trunk upon his head and either
shoulder, imploring its protection and
favor. Having thus paid public hon.
age to the huge quadruped and receiv-
ed its blessings by the "impositur
probocis," his Majesty drew his sword
and took up position on the elephants
right flank, supported, to the animals
left, by high priest carrying a golden
wand. Thus headed, the procession
entered Bangkok, where the new god
was greeted by slavos Of artillery and
a general salute of the royal troops,
paraded on either side of the route
leading to the palace. Having escorted
the elephant TO its apartments the
King formally bestowed upon his
sacred guest the rank of "reigning
monarch" and decorated it with the
Grand Gordon of the Siamese Order,
bearing its own style and title. The
household of the new deity has since
been organized on a truely royal scale.
Every article dedicated to the white
elephants use and service is of mas,
sive gold or rare proclaim, and pop
ular offerings to the value of many
thousands of pounds were deposited at
its shrine before it had been est"hlish-
ed forty-eight hours in ite ,pendid
quarters, immediatly adjacent to the
Kings own private suite of apart
ment.

ABOUT THE ARMY.
Probable Important Changes In Division
Commanders.

There is a good deal of gossip just at
present in army circles relative proposed changes
in the location of regiments and division COM
manders. There is always gossip of this sort float
ing around but at this time of the year it seems to
receive new impetus. This is owing principally
to the fact that at the close of the fiscal year the
balance of the appropriation for transportation, If
there is any, is expended in moving regiments
from one point to another. The cost of transport
ing regiment is so great that the appropriation is
reserved in the event of Il contingency arising.
But toward the close of the fiscal year, as the APP
preparation for the next will soon be available,
the balance remaining or hand is expended
This year there is quite large balance OF this ap-
preparation remaining and few regiments will be
moved. The Secretary of Var has not yet taken
the matter under consideration. Neither has he
considered the changes III the department COM
manders. There arc number of officers who
have been stationed for Long time at one place,
and they want 20 be changed. Among these IS
General Schofeld, VINO recently placed in COM
mand of the new department, with headquarters
at New Orleans General Schofeld does not
like New Orleans and his headquarters will
probably be changed to st. Louis There has been
nothing official done in regard to any changes.
There is some talk about consolidating the mill
tary divisions of the Missouri and Pacific under
General Sheridan. This would leave General Nc
Dowell, who is now i'll command of the division OF
the Pacific out i'll the cold, and pave the way for
his retirement Under this arrangement General
HancOck's diyision-that of the Atlantic-would
be enlarged. But all these changes are mere rumor
as yet, and will be until the Secretary of War an
nounces his policy.
