cabin has been enlarged so as to pro-

round and the fire place faces the

carried in the fore hold this season
instead of being mostly on deck, as
was done last year. This will tend
to keep the steamer steadier and give
more room to stow freight.

GOOD FIvE-CENTERS.
A Man Who Knew Good Cigars When He
Saw Them.

A Man Who Knew Good Cigars when He
Saw Them.
Schmidt has a young man to aid
him in selling cigars and tobacco, to
whom he gives seven dollars a week.
The said salesman has frequently asked
Schmidt to raise his wages to eight
dollars per week, but Schmidt only
raises his arms, turns the palms to-
ward the sky, and says:
''Shack, times vas pc too dull. Wait
awhile, und tole you Something's"
One day as young man was passing
the cigar store, Schmidt asked his
clerk who the passer-by was and where
he bought his cigars. Jack, the clerk
gave the young mans name, and also
the information that he purchased his
cigars at rival dealers store, adding (:
''He says he buys four bits worth a
day, and that he'd buy from us only
our five cent cigars are stinkers."
"Shtinkers! Eth. Shack? vas hat

mans und fetch him aroundt. I will
open box of Key Vest cigars und sell
him two for ten cents. Next time he
puys you gifc him cigars from the
China box, chp What you dinks Shack,
eh? He won't know the difference
Jack acquiesced-'twas a capital way
to gain trade.
Shortly afterwards Jack went to
lunch. At the restaurant table oppo-
site him sat the very young man whose
trade Schmidt wanted. During the
time consumed in lunch Jack and the
young man INDUCED in several hearty
laughs, and as they left the restaurant
the young man remarked:
That's all right, Jack, old boy; I'll
fix him." 'h
The next evening the young man
culled at Schmidtz's cigar store. Ill,
"Hello! Schmidtz," exclaimed the
young man; shave you any good five

ROOFS FOR FARM BUILDINGS.

An Engineers Advice About Matter Of
Importance to Farmers.
A wet coat will ruin sheep which
would frisk with comfort and happiness
out of doors when the temperature is
down to zero. 1t is very much the
same with other animals-humans in
cludcd-hence the need Of good roofs.
The styles, INTELLECTUALLY considered,
have always varied with the climate.
In rainless and hot regions roofs were
always fiat, and were made a sort Of
retired open-air room or apartment.
The Greek roof has very low pitch,
rising from each side to the center. AS
one goes north to where the rain is
more abundant and snow falls heavily,
the pitch becomes sleeper and sleeper
until the gothic had its "knife-edged"
roofs, in which the rafters were longer
than the width of the span. Our pred
jecessors probably know something, al
though they had no railroads or tel
ephones.
As O rule fat roofs are tho most ex-
pensive of all. In rather long ex-
pericnce do not remember one that
was satisfactory unless IL was wholly
covered with sheet lead and then the
weight made very heavy framework
under it necessary. Nor is it the cheap
est to build, for the necessary labor to
make it water-tight costs more than
the extra lumber in roof with one
fourth pitch. But when one has fiat
roof and will give the necessary care
to keep it in good repair, gas-tar with
the tar roofing-felt, makes the next best
covering to tin. l rather think a tin
roof well painted will be found cheaper
at the end of ten years than felt roof
which may be put on free of cost.
1t is useless to put anything under
the felt in the hope to avoid tearing
this by the shrinkags Of the boards. It
must be nailed anyhow, and as it is not
elastic it will always tear out where it
is nailed. Gas tar should always be
boiled before it is put on, and 1t should
be put on hot. II then makes a thin coat
which does not crack so easily as q
thick one and will hold more absorbent.
Hydraulic cement is the best absorbent,
far better than sand, because IL is much
finer, and containing some alkal,
forms chemical union with the acid
Of the tar and makes a firm, stony,
covering. It should be busted over
The hot tar as this is put on, until IL is
n excess and leaves surface TO wash
,ff. But If were asked advice about
lat roofs / would say, 'don't'-An

How Farm Animals Spread Disease.

There are many unsupported ways in
which farm animals, wild animals, and
insects spread diseases. A curious in
stance is given in the Medical and Sur
gical Reporter of village in which ono
person in each several families was sud-
denly found to be suffering from con-
sumption Of the lungs or. tubercular
phthisis. Upon investigation it was
found that the disease had been spread
through the village by means of spring
chickens sold therein from private hos
pital near by where the chickens had
been reared. A patient Of the hospital,
q lady, had amused herself by feeding
and petting the chickens, and had given
them the meat which she had chcwed
for It's juice. The spittoon used by tho
patient had also been emptied near
