A ROUGH JOKE.
How q Pair of Pastors Were
Badly Left.

Rev. TAFT, who preached at the
East Sedalia Baptist church last Sun
day, was met by a BAzOo scribe on
the street yesterday with his lower
man encased in as handsome pair of
tight fitting unmentionahles as ever
delighted the heart OF the most fastidi-
Gus dude.
You seem to admire my costume,
remarked the genial divine as he no.
ticedt look ofthe reporter. Il don't
blame you" he continued, land per-
haps an explanation will not be out of
place. for l assure you | am not in
the habit of following the st,le' quite
so closely as rule. You know, how
ever, necessity sometimes cOmpels us
to assume rather awkward positions.
As myself and Rev. Painter were on
our way to -edalia We stopped over at
Kingsville Saturday night at the resi-
dence of MIR. Blackburn. During the
night after We had retired and were
sleeping the sleep of the
just, thieves effected an en-
trance into the house and carried
away not only our valuables
con isting of money, fine gold watch
and other articles but our raiment
also, and after helping themselves to
sue commissaries as they liked from
the Blackburn larder, they departed,
leaving us to discover ourselves in any
thing but pleasant predicament, the
only way out of which was to accept
such aid as our friends conld offer,
hence the very attractive costume il
which am forced to temporarily ap-
pear, and my companion is in no bet
ter fix. The reverend gentlemen have
the sympathies of the BAzoo and it is
to be hoped e gracel. IS rogues may
be caught and punished as their crimes
deserve.

Out of Luck,

w. j. Newton, the California
travelling dentist, met with a streak
of misfortune at the depot last Sun
day which made him feel sick all
over. He was on his way home from
a business trip and while awaiting
the arrival of the train, grew hungry.
Leaving his valise sitting in the ladies
waiting room, he went to the lunch
stand for cup of coffee. When he
returned he found the valise had taken
a notion to travel also. Now in the
valise was q dozen new towels, some
very fine table linen and q handsome
gold necklace, ali of which he was
taking home to present to his be-
loved wife. Under these circum-
stances it is needless to say, he made
quite racket over his loss. But it Is
needless to say all to no purpose, and
when the train arrived he was forced
to take his way home minus his valise
and valuable contents. The railroad
police have the matter In hand and
may possibly be able to unrsvel the
mystery. >'1t .'aa@ 80, -

BARN STABLES.
Essential Points to be Observed In Their
Construction.

Essential Points to be Observed In Iher
Construction.
Every year new stables, barns and
other outbuildings are going up, either
to replace WORKOUT structures or to
furnish additional space for stock. In
planning, the prominent idea to be
kept in mind is the definite use for
which the building is intended. There
is no more unsound idea in the build
ing of combined barn and stable than
in allowing the breath and other eflluvia
to pass into the fodder and other food
of the stock. In other words, the ven-
tilation of the stables should not pass
through the NOW or the barn.
In the building and arrangement OF
the stable warmth is the essential in
teger, and. the ventilation being cor
rect, the stable can not be made too
tight Probably nine stables out of ten
are built with the floors raised above
the earth, and so the wind has full sweep
beneath. the floor. The effect is. the
animals are constantly being chilled as
to their feet and limbs, reacting on the
whole body. All stables should be laid
on solid walls, and the stable floor. in
stead Of being laid upon bearings.
should be let into the sills of the struct-
ure, upon bearings laid directly on the
ground. The scantling, thus laid, will
last as long as the floor, and as rule
fully as long as when let into the sills.
If drainage underneath is intended,
this must be done before the floor is
laid, and the pipes for this drainage
should not be less than six inches in
diameter. 1t is worse than useless to
Law such drains unless there is consider
able fall and ample means for flushing,
when necessary. In fact, as rule,
stables in the country are better with
out drains, except along the floors. 1t
is preferable that the liquid manure be
absorbed with dry clay. or other simi-
lar material, for thus the most valuable
portion of the manure is saved.
The floors Of stables are usually made
of thick plank. They are by no means
| the best. The foundation may be six
| inches of broken stone, thoroughly
pounded and solidified. On this is a
thin layer Of gravel laid and pounded
smooth; on this again good cement OF
sharp gravel, sand and cement is laid.
When finished it should be kept moist
| for some time before it is used--if for
three months it will be better. On such
floor comparatively little water will
keep all sweet and clean.
Now If the stable is laid with we'll
matched floor alone Of seasoned plank
thoroughly driven home, and if it i
ceiled in from the rest of the barn,
where only portion of the floor is
used as a stable, there will be no danger
! of contamination of the food of the
animals BY any efiiuyia therefrom. :

HENRY NJ. STANLEY.

A Graphic Description OF tho Famous
Explorer of the Dark Continent.
Il is impossible to gaze upon the
oronzed features of Mr.. Henry NJ.
Stanley without vivid recollection of
the famous picture of his first meeting
with Livingstone in the depths of the
Dark Continent. "Dr. Livingstone,
presumed" was the historic phrase in
which the second greatest OF African
explorers greeted the greatest One Of
the peculiarities of photography is that
it adds stature; and I had pictured the
founder of the Free State of the Congo
as tall, thin. wiry man, grizzled with
hard work--with, in short, all the out
ward attributes of an old campaigner.
But when there presently joined me in
the cosy drawing-room in New Bond
street, a gentleman somewhat below
the average height, with thick-set
frame indicative of great powers of en-
durance, the well-known short mus
tache, and face deeply Drowned by
tropical suns as they shone upon forests
and plains where no other white man
has ever set foot, there was no
need for introduction. Mr.. Stanley
greeted me cordially, and settled himself
down in an arm chair as though. instead
Of having upon his shoulders the care
of State covering million and half
square miles, he had nothing to do but
to be interviewed. Upon the table lay
Belgian map of the Congo, showing
the results of the explorations which
have been made since Mr.. SANKEY'S de-
parture for Europe, and the new vol
ume of the Almanach de Gotha, in
which the Congo is for the first time
included among sovereign States. The
world needs not to be told that MIR.
Stanley is enthusiastic in his view of
the rich capabilities and the splendid
future of the Congo. But he has not
the manner of an enthusiast. His
speech is calm. thoughtful, based
upon facts and figures. When he wishes
to enforce point, or to clinch an ar
gument, he leans forward in his chair
and speaks with the subdued earnest
ness and the quiet energy of convic-
ton. One of the most salient impress
sions the interview left upon me was
that of a man possessing a boundless
store of reserved force; capable Of tax
ing great decisions in asmoment of su-
preme crisis; man of boundless energy,
with whom danger and difficulty have
been constantly present, and in whom
natural GOODNESS and fertility of re.
source have been developed into an in.
