Whether the Swiss farmer of the low
lands lives in village or upon his land,
his dwelling and his stable are usually
under the same roof. Great, roomy and
homcly structures they are, those houses
and barns covered by the same steep and
projecting roof of red tiles. Under the
spreading caves are stored the wagons
and other farm machinery when out of
use. The end of the building which
shelters the family may be of wood, with
picturesque balconies and exterior stair
ways. The upper pert of the other half,
in which the hay is stored, is often built
of squared pine logs, or clapboarded. with
large and frequent Openings for ventila-
tion. of the hay, whic is cut and thrown

But the stable, tho chief feature of the
establishment, which unGarlies the hay

solid walls of masonry are two feet in
thickness and plastered within and with

into its castings like the cork of a bottle.
The ceiling is as nearly air tight as POS

the thick wall admit only feeble glinl-

pose that, with the free whisky plank In

tho REPUBLICAN leaders will not realize
how much they have increased the Prohi-

had a noticeable effect in Connecticut A

Horace Wilcox, is the largest owner in

r1,a narrison Kis..

a dispatch from Indianapolis to The
New York Sun gives publicity to mo
mentions incident of the presidential cam
paign:
Gen. Earrison's law partner, ". q. Il
Miller, has a handsome daughter. With
her at the tinae of the nomination was a
young lady who had been visiting Rus
sell Harrison and his wife at their home
in Montana. She was slender, beauti-
ful girl, and wealthy. While out west, q
friend of hers, who was nurse in the sur
gical ward of hospital, became sick, and
the society belle. in q spirit of adventure,
filed her place. Tho Harrison house is n
great resort for the young people of the
ncighborhood, and tley We're all present
the day OF the nomination. awaiting news.
When it came, they were so enthusiastic
that one of the young Indies rushed up to
him. threw her arms about his neck and
kissed him. The mark of affection so i'm
pressed hiu that he lost the spirit of
calmnesS which he had all along borne,
and the tears tricl1led down his checks.
Then the young lady proceeded to faint
away. The amateur nurse restored her,
and then Withdrew and went into hyster-.
les. She had endured the trying scenes
of n hospital ward, but tho excitement of
tho occasion was too much for her. 4"
There is, fortunately, no reason to fear
that Gen: Harrison's tears will ever triclle
upon the carpets of the whito House.
One of the duties of the executive is to
shake hands with his constituents. If a
lady faints when she kisses the general
and (. hospital nurse goes into Mysteries
at sight of tho salute, man of untr;lincd
nerves and ordinary fortitude would fall
dead if hc shook hands with SO dread
