Lighter Barns and Stables.

The rule observed in nearly all
modern houses, says an exchange, is to
make a dwelling as light and cheerful
as possible. Men no longer put win
dows in their houses two feet wide and
three feet high, with panes of glass six
by eight inches in size. The rule now
runs in the other direction. They
want all the light they can get; the
more the better. They have learned
the value of sunlight not only on the
mind, but also on the health. People
don't thrive in cells from which day
light has been excluded. Even our
farmers, who are sometimes slow to
fallow the fashions of the hour, admit
the correctness and prOpriety of this
modern innovation. The comfortable
modern farm house resembles the
statlier city mansion in this respect.
There are large windows on all sides,
and plenty of them. They feel better
in mind and body for them, and would
not do without them. But here nearly
all farmers stop. They recognize the
great benefits that result from we'll
lighted dwellings, but when it comes to
building barns, they almost invariably
ignore this principle. They want to
live in the light themselves, but they
consign their horses and cattle to the
darkness and obscurity which are char
acteristic of our old-fashioned barns
and stables. There are no reasons for
believing that domestic animals do not
enjoy light quite as much as human
beings. On the contrary, experiments
have proven that COWS give more and
better milk when changed from dark
stables to light ones, and also that
they can be kept in better condition on
less food. If returned to their former
quarters the flow of milk shrinks at
once. Is strong argument in favor of
lighted stables needed? When the
gases and smells of a stable combine
with darkness, the sight of horses is in
jured. Windows that shall admit fresh
air as well as light, are absolutely es-
sential to their general health. In
many new barns these requisites are
carefully observed. The animals seem
to appreciate the changed condition OF
things as greatly as human beings
would. Let the same principles we
apply to onr houses be applied to barns
and stables. If we find it beneficial
agreeable and desirable in our OWL
cases, have we not reason to think it il
equally desirable to the inferior AMI
mails committed to our care?

A HINT TO THE LADIEs.-Save the
tea leaves for n few days, then steep
them in i tin pail or pan for half
hour. .D.D through a sieve and use
the tea for all vanished paint. 1t re-
quires very little elbow polish, as the
tea acts as a strong detergent, cleaning
the paint from all its impurities, and
making the varnish equal to new. 1t
cleans window sashes and oil cloths
indeed any varnish surface is improved
by its application. 1t washes window
panes and mirrors much better than
water, and is excellent for cleansing
black walnut picture and looking glass
frames. 1t will not do to wash unvar-
nished paint with it.

One day while he was digging sweet
potatoes he came to little mound on
which the tubers were unusually large
and fine-lOOking. After digging for

know what brought them, as he had
detected no smell of any kind. Dig
ging a little deeper, he came on to the
carcass of horse that had been buried
for more than a year. Then for the
first time he was able to detect the
smell peculiar to carrion, but the buzz
yards had detected it as soon as he
begun stirring up the ground over the
decOmposing mass that had made the
potatoes grow so finely.

How TO MILK.-A greatmany people
have at some time during their lives
watched the def operations of the
milkmaid and been inspired with
feeling to go and do likewise. But
how different was the result from what
they had expected. The mightiest
efforts did not avail to force one single
drop of the fluid from the bovine. For
the benefit of such we give the follow
ing hints in regard to it: A milker
should learn to milk quickly. Slow
milking would ruin any COW, and there
is little doubt that many cows are
made Improbable by badmilking. As
soon as the flow of milk begins it
should be drawn as rapidly as possible.
Stripping with the finger and thumb is
bad practice, and should be unlearned
at once, and the whole hand used to
milk with. By persevering one will
soon be able to milk very short teats, if
the hand is moderately small. The
best mixers have very short hands
strength of wrists will come in time.

HISTORY OF "SHIP JOHN:n-Those
of our readers who have visited "Ship
John Light in Delaware Bay, will ap-
preciate the following bit of history,
taken from the Bridgeton Ne,Us:
Ship John was cut through by the
ice in the Winter of 1897, on what was
called the Middle Grounds, upwards of
three miles distance from and within
sight of Cohansey Light. Her sub
merged hulk in time made a danger
Gus shoal directly in the track of yes
sells engaged in the foreign trade with
Philadelphia The U. S. Government,
as is well known, has recently erected
at great expense an excellent light
house as warning and u good range
light to navigators. The old ship John,
Captain Folger, was consigned from
Havre, France, to the well-known mer-
chant of that day, Henry Drinker, of
Philadelphia, with an assorted cargo,
much of which was saved and deposit
ed for awhile in the old John Sheppard
store house, yet standing above Green
witch wharf. Col. Eli Elmer, then the
Officer of Customs of the newly created
Port of Bridgetown,' took charge OF
the same. There is yet a relic of the
old vessel to be seen any day in
Bridgeton, which Col. Elmer secured
before the vessel disappeared. The
late Abram Woodruff, Sr., related that
he accompanied him. 1t is the
figurehead of the ship-an elegantly
carved effigy of lady-which, for SC
many years has stood as gracefully a:
a sentinel on the apex of the ice house
at the residence of the late Rev. DIR
Jones, on Broad street, corner of Giles

Wv OIh
The s%leeping-car system which began in so
limited a manner has reached a magnitude
of which few have any idea. From the At
| lantic to the Pacific these combinations of
speed and comfort are in operation, and the
adoption of convenience to limited space
shows no small degree of ingenuity. One of
the principal expenses of the sleeping-car is
the laundry bill. At Boston the monthly
wash list includes 5000 pieces of linen, and
the bill is of corresponding amount. Each
car contains twenty-four berths, and it's out
tit includes 100 sheets, 100 piilow-slips, thirty
hand-towels and ten roller towels. The en-
tire eq uipment of the Pullman company in
cludes 1000 sheets, 10000 piilow-slips, 49,
600 hand-towels and 5000 roller towels. The
company also uses about Is. 900 blankets, A
sleepIng-car is emptied and cleaned as soon as
1T reaches its destination, and the soiled linen
is Immediately sent to the laundry. The Pull
man company washes and repairs its blankets
III the cities where the principal offices are
situated. The Wagner company, however,
sends theirs to be cleaned at the mills in
Pittsfield, Mass, where they were made. The
total equipment of the Wagner company is
1000 wooden blankets, Is, S51 linen sheets,
II, Z02 pillow slips, $40 hand towels, and
2,347 roller towels. The aggregate expense
of keeping the bedding of this company clean
mounts to about 5000 to So, 900 a month,
or $50, 600 a year, while that of the Pullman
company is So 900 to $4,000 q month, not
withstanding the reduction of cost to the
lowest possible point. Sheets are washed for
a cent and a half apiece and pillow slips and
towels for one cent each. An addition to the
other expenses is that of providing the sleep
ing cars with combs, brushes, whisk-brooms
feather busters. soap, and other toilet arti-
Giles, and this item is largely increased by the
incessant thefts committed by passengers. 1t
is not an uncommon thing for an apparent

A HOME RULE.


Marquis Lorne Draws a Lesson from the
Experience of American States.
TORONTO, Oct. 30.-A special cable says the
Contemporary Review for November con-
tains an article by Marquis Lorne, late Gov
ernor-general of the Dominion, entitled
Canadian Home-rule." 1t was written in
compliance with a request to furnish notes
suggesting steps that might be taken to meet
the demand for home-rule for Ireland, or
provide information having a bearing upon
the future of Australia. The Marquis dis
cusses the chief features of federal govern
ment in Canada, and dwells specially upon
the danger which must arise should one
member of a confederation become strong
enough to oppose the will of the central gov
eminent.
Marquis Lorne declares that should a
provincial feeling be developed stronger than
a feeling of loyalty to the general govern
ment, the American civil war may be re-
peated in Canada. The equality of strength
among various members of the confedera-
ton would be the best guarantee against this.
conclusion drawn is that the experience
of the American States shows that while
purely local matters may be left to the con-
troll of local assemblies, it is all-important
that no province should be organized in such
strength as to be able to formulate a policy
leading to a conflict with the rest of the
country
