The transatlantic travellers of late
years have remarked upon the sdvan-
tages of electricity on shipboard. Il
makes possible flood of Ii ght every
where, especially in the staterooms
which formerly contained only the
feeblest apologies for lamps; and the
danger of fire is greatly reduced. Is
appears, however, that the full benefits
OF this system of illumination are only
realized ON board ships of war. 4
moments thought shows this is SO.
Heretofore for long weeks at a time the
officers and men on war vessels have
suffered greatly from the heat, odors
and depressing effects of poor lights.
Now, in the language of Commodore
Walker, electricity makes them hap
py and contented, promotes discipline
and prevents crime" This is an i'm
mense gain from every point Of view.

The husbands of Washington Terri
tory are beginning to kick against
their wives going on iuries. One of
them writes as follows to his local
paper: My wife has been gone away
on the jury four days. 1 have not had
a square meal since she left. My chill,
dren are crying for bread, and every
thing goes wrong, l am hungry, angry
and out of sorts in every respect. Iwrito
this to warn the people who advocate
woman's rights in my presence again

the sheriff comes after my wife again
he had better bring posse with him,
for my shotgun is loaded and
will not hesitate to use it."

$4,000 were spent in eighteen years
by Prof. G. A. Donaldson, of Louisville,
KY, in trying to get rid of his rheuma-
tism, but he found no relief until at
last he used st. Jacobs Oil, which
speedily cured him.

A well-known citizen of. Weatherd-

The Anti.SalOOn Republicans mean
business. The fact that the election is
over for this year does not cool their
ardOr. They met in State Convention
at Cortland Thursday and pledged
themselves to push their organization,
and keep up the warfare on the saloons.
Their rapidly increasing membership
indicates growing interest in the move
ment. The Legislature cannot afford
to disregard the warning voice lifted
by these Republicans. The vicious
measure passed last year to compel
Excise Commissioners, by mandamus,
to issue licenses should be repealed /;
and the course of legislation should be
in antagonism to the saloons, as de-
manded by this convention.

Manufacture of Rifles.

Great speed has been attained in
the manufacture of rifles. One hun
dred and twenty barrels can be rolled
in an hour by one machine; they are
Strengthened cold and bored with CORE
spending speed, and even the rifling is
now done automatically, so that one
man tending six machines can turn out
sixty or seventy barrels per day. With
the old riaing machine twenty barrels
were about the limit of days work,
but the improved machines attend to
everything after they are once started.
and when the rifling is completed ring
bell and call the attention of the
workman. He is thus enabled to at
tend as many as six machines at one
time.

Thrcs-Story Barns.

For ordinary farm uses where hay and
grain are the staple crops onc-story
parn with a basement is the most dcsri1-
bic shape. And in tho bny the open
lpncc should extend from the roof to the
bottom Of the basement. Tho entire
weight of grain or hay will press down
ward, making the mass ut the bottom
very solid. But for other uses more
looring is often desirable. Seed growers
and those who handle tobacco require n
succession Of floors with plenty of ven
lilation. The difficulty is in driving in
on the upper floors, but this is accom-
plished by building on side hill and
grading up. In three-story barn long
! fnough for two floors, enc wagon passage
may be run on the first floor and tho pro.
duct be pitched upon the second. The
'thcr may be built up to tho second
1oor, and this will enable products to
be drawn by team nearly to tho roof.
These high buildings require only the
same roofing as lower ones, and afford
better ventilation. But one great draw
back to this form of building is danger
from fire. In country places it is diff
cult to throw streams of water to the
tops of high buildings, and when n fire
hndcr such circumstances gets under
headway it is nearly impossible to save
anything. Even the basement barn is
objected to by owners of valuable stock,
for the cellar under a barn when the
latter is in flames is death trap, which
