House Building in Earthquake Countries.
In choosing o site for house In an
earthquake country, find out by the ex-
perience Of others the localities which are
least disturbed, and build there. Some
times these localities will be upon hills,
and at other times in valleys and on the
plains. A wide open plain is less likely
to be disturbed than position on q hill,
especially ON the edge Of hill.
Avoid building on loose materials which
rest on hard strata beneath. Place
foundations On Tho hard rock and leave
pit or trench all round them mp to the
surface Of the ground.
II earthquakes IN region come always
from one direction, build the house 30 that
the blank walls are parallel to this direc-
ton, and 20 that the walls with many
openings in fhem-as windows and doors
ARE &C right angles 70 suoh direction.
Small structures can be supported on
nests Of spherical balls laid between two
fat from plates. Such houses are much
less shaken than the ordinary kind. It is
advisable that brick chimnsys to wooden
houses should be built 50 that the CHM
ney IL not bound closely 70 the wooden
structure, but h detached from IL In such
o way as to allow it to have ffs own period

PROHIBITION COLUMN.
EDITED BY THE PROHIBITION CLUB,
HIGH LICENSE.

II Is quite evident that there is o
movement on. foot to compel the
present great temperance agitation to
crystalline around high license and
thus eliminate it from politics.
The liqqor men, the real bosses in
the old parties, have been persuaded
to accept it as the only policy that
offers any effectual check to the on
ward march of prohibitions, and the
party leaders are pushing the scheme
for all it is worth.
At least Q dozen confidential letters
from influential distillers and brewers
in the high license states OF Nebraska
and Illinois to the liquor dealers Assc-
Citations Of New York and New Jersey
have been published showing that
the liquor dealers of those states be-
lieve the high license law to be q pro-
lection to the liquor Traffic.
Nebraska and Illinois are the only
states where high license has had a
fair trial for any considerable length
of time. In those states, us in others,
the liquor dealers fought the law at
first, but now that 1t. has been tried
they, without a dissenting voice,
unite In saying that the law has been
of no injury to their business; that
it bars out prohibition and that II
left to the liquor dealers they would
never repeal 1T.
Now in view of these facts, if high
license is q step toward prohibition
as our anti-saloon Republican friends
| would have us believe, is it not about
time to take another steps. But thai
is not the progra II. The plan has
been to get the ,n>tnt of the liquor
dealers TO the hi s't i!vCnsc policy in
order that a h!g:! LICENSE plank may
be incorporated i ii,r next national
platform of the Republican party
and thus commit the party nationally
to that method a side tracking the
prohibition movt;'ent.

ference to be hell Ill New Yor k city

sell his machines ten dollars cheaper,
provided he did not have to canvass
the country for sales. Now, this looks
when we take into con-
sideration that in few weeks every
country crossroad, as well as every
turnpike, will be swarming with
agents, and the expense OF all this
will have TO be added to machines.
or course we so zen. the. supposition
that our machine men are honest and
that they sell their machines at the
lowest possible figures in consistency
with their expenses. Consequently
we have to pay for all this useless
work. I 60 further and say that it lis
not only useless, but in a great many
cases harmful to the farmers. The
willy agent knows we'll enough that
he has the farmer ut II disadvantage
when he tackles him alone on his
field, he can then magnify the advan-
tages of his own, and run down the
merits of other machines to q far
greater extent than would be possible
in town. He can there use all sorts
of arguments in convincing the far
mer that his only salvation lies in
then and there ordering q machine,
which the farmer might have bought
better and cheaper by going to town,
and in a great many cases they sue
coed.
Then look at the amount Of valu-
able time which the farmer annually
sacrifices to the dawdling Of the To-
quacious agents. Gentlemen of the
profession, Well run our chances of
being talked to death while In town,
but please consider our farms as
sanctuariss where we wish to be let
alone.
know that this advice will not be
needed by the average agent, but I do
hope that the advice Of man who
has bought between two and three
thousand dollars worth of machinery
in this country, and who has been
bit more than once on his own farm,
will receive some consideration. The
advice is, farmers do not, under any
circumstances, give an order, be 1t
ever so small, to canvassing agent,
and his days will soon be numbered.
