A Cheap Hen House.

The American Rural Home.
A cheap hen house is one which can
be built without the outlay of much
cash or time, but then it may still be
a very dear one, if it does not provide
for the comfort OF the fowls, keeping
them free from dampness and draught,
and comfortably sheltering them.
Many an expensive henhouse has been
built which is very pretty to look at,
but which is deficient in comfort, style
being secured at the expense OF the real
desirable qualities which can be secur-
ed at a far less expenditure OF money.
Common, rough lumber, when treated
to whltewash, makes a very pre-
sentable house, while posts can be
planted to frame the building to, thus
saving the not inconsiderable expense
OF making a regular frame by morts-
ing and tennoning the regularly
sawed lumber. This is an item
we'll worth remembering, espe-
cially as the majority OF our
poultry breeders cannot always spare
a round sum in cash to erect what
some term model house. By select
ing a site for the house where the
ground is high, or by filling in the
house for several inches with sand or
gravel, to secure the same advantage,
n board floor can be dispensed with,
still further lessening the cash outlay,
while, to still further cheaper the
building, erect alean-to against anoth-
er and larger building, the backend or
side OF the larger building being the
back OF the smaller one.

Artemus Wards First Hit.

"The late Col. L. u. Mason, OF To
ledo," remarked an Ohio man, "once
related to me this anecdote about the
lamented Artemus Ward Charles f.
Brown. Artemus had left the Toledo
Blade and gone to Cleveland to take
city editorship OF the Plain Dealer, OF
which j. w. Gray was editor and pro-
prietor. Thepaper was small in those
days, and Gray and Artemus did most
OF the writing. One day Gray was
sick. and SEM word to Artemus to get
the paper out as best he could. The
next mornings issue contained an eSr
tire page OF what purported to be tbs
first schoolboy essays OF the leading
citizens OF Cleveland, Gray's included.
In these suppositious essays .Artenaus
had, with inimitable tact and hlunor,
foreshadowed the future man, WITH ali
his eccentricities and pecuiiarities.
"Gray, who had got the worst saor-
ing of all, read the paper and sent for
Artemus. He responded promptly,
feeling like a c1lprit, and expecting
nothing less than an immediate dis
charge. Instead, he was heartily con
graduated and given two weeks leave
OF absence on tall pay. Harris, one ol
the alleged essayists, gave him II hat
Fairbanks contributed a pair of boots
and the others pooled their issues and
presented him with suit of clothes
He first went to Toledo. and three
weeks afterward tslegraphed from St
Louis for money enough to enable him
to get back to Cleveland. This episode
made him famous N the Forest City.

Gossip and Ministers.

l am glad that the Helping Hand
has taken up the subject OF harmful
g ossip. At our church in an Ohio
town OF 4, 900 inhabitants we are con-
stantly changing our ministers because
their influence is destroyed by gossip
ing members OF the church. have
been in a good many towns in differ
ent parts OF the country but have fail
ed to find the parish yet where the
congregation is perfectly satisfied with
its minister. In our own church we
know we have never been perfectly sat
lstied weknow that other churches have
thesame trouble. Think, then, we
should try to make the best of what
we have instead OF increasing the
trouble bv detailing to our neighbors
the little things wherein the minister
or his wife might do differently.
In our church we complained of one
minister because while he was a good
preacher he was not social enough
outside OF the church; another was on
good terms with everybody, but hadn't
business push; another suited in every.
respect, but his wife didn't, and this,
in u small town finally made trouble.
Our. congregation and good many
others seem to look for q big, ALL
around kind OF a man who would
bring five or six thousand dollars. q
year in the business world and to, get
ham for $500 and a donation narty.
As it can't be done, wouldn't.it BE-
better to give up trying?-Mrs-. Mar.

American Dressmakers.

The American woman always wish.

quent. There are dressmakers to be
found now who are designers, who
have the courage OF intelligent con-
viction and will make graceful dress
OF cheap material, yet so well cut and
combined that it does not look cheap.
One OF the most original OF these re-
Gently made a charming evening dress
for young girl-tinding the material
for SIS. 1t seemed incredible, the
effect was so good. 1t consisted OF
Madras muslin, ecru and pale blue
cheese cloth. 1t was made with short
gathered waist and straight skirt,
with big bow OF the cheese cloth at
the back. The same artist took a
golden brown shadow" silk-an
American production-and madeit up
on the wrong side, the tones being
darker and SO much richer, combin-
ing it with golden brown veloutine,
in order to get the tone required, and
which could not be obtained from q

Who Wear Chicago's Brilliant
Gems.
Chicago Mail.

Chicago Mall.
] am told that the finest diamond in
Chicago is worn by Milton Oliver, a
lawyer. 1t is not by any means the
largest, one or two others being three
or four times as large, but it outranks
all others in quality. Its about three
and a half carats and cost Oliver
$500. Tom Donnely, who sold it,
thought SO much Of it that he has twice
offered the lawyer $500 more than he
paid. The largest diamond in the city
belongs to Ed. Lansing, the saloon
keeper. His is astone OF fourteen car
ats, but it is off color and didn't cost
and isn't worth 81 900. The finest
ruby in the city is probably the one
worn by Ed. Partridge, the State
street dry goods man and speculator.
The finest emerald is upquestionably
the one that Broker Crosby, OF the
Board ofTrade, wears in an old-fash-
loned setting in his finger-ring. The
largest diamond here was twenty-car-
at stone and was not of any special
value. There are more and bigger
diamonds around in Tom Donnelly's
safe than in any other receptacle in
the west. They belong to hundred
different people and aggregate in value
over 100000. The rich men here
do not wear big diamonds. Neither
Pullman nor Armour, nor Allertonnor
Fairbank, nor Mccormick nor any 9TH
er millionaire that know of-except-
ing one-wears a big diamond. Joe
Reynolds, Diamond Joe," does.
But half believe he does it more to
advertise his steamboats, than from
any weakness himself for show. The
big stones are bought Tor the women.
The wives of all these men have mag.
nificent collections.

Tho Morning Bath.
Herald OF Health.


The cold or tepid sponge bath, taken
in the morning before breakfast, with
friction to make the skin red, is one O.
the most health giving actions We
know. 1t promotes healthy circula
tion to the skin and all organs OF the
body, and keeps them in good condi
ton and healthy in appearance
Some persons cannot indulge in such
a morning tub" by reason OF pecul
iarity OF constitution or from live,
affections, and are unable to take the
bath quite cold. 1t should, then,
have just the chill taken off; but the
skin should, in all instances immedi,
ately after the bath, be thoroughly
dried and rubbed with a moderate
coarse linen towel. No soap is used
to this bath, and it is good plan to
have a warm bath about the temper.

the healthful stimulation OF the

aglass of very hot water taken after
the bath will prevent chill.

Fowls in Hot Weather.

The average farmer thinks the fowls
can take care of themselves in hot
weather. Yet he will coop a brood of
chicks in the open field, subject to the
direct rays OF the sun, and deem we'll
cared for. He iorgets that fowls new
er perspire, and that the hens heart
is beating $50 times per minute, and
the little chicks still more. Watch
the tlocks where they have a choice,
and you will see that from ten to four
o'clock one is hardly seen in the sun.
Shade is as essential to the best re-
suits as is the sun. Chicks cannot do
we'll in either shade or sunshine alone.
So give them the choice ofseeking the
sun or shade at pleasure.
