ROYAL BoNApABrEs.
Prince Napoleon Related TO Alnos'
Every ReigninG Family.

From NE WestRii8Stcr Reote~.
If Prince Napoleon, or even his de-
scendants should ever attain power,
Bonapartists would appear in an entirely
new guise, for through bis mother he
belongs to the royal caste, distinction
which neither the first Napoleon nor
Napoleon III, could claim He Is as
"well born" as any sovereign in Eu-
rope, and there is probably no reigning
family TO which he Is not related.
AS his great. grandmother was sister
of George Ill, he is second cousin once
removed to Queen Victoria, and shares
all her ancestry save that through
Queen Charlotte and the Duchess of
Kent. He has as much of the blood of
Plantagenet, Tudor and Stewart in his
veins as the Queen has in hers, and In
respect of the last he is excelled by his
children, who, through their mother,
are descended from Charles l., through
his daughter Henrietta, Duchess of Or
leans, while our reigning house can
claim descent only through daughter
of James I.
Prince Napoleon Ia descended from
George J. in three distinct lines, one of
them being through George ii. and
Frederick, Prince Of Wales

PRAIRIE ROADS.
Suggestions for Making and for Keeping
Them Up.

Them Up.
J. NJ. Hollingsworth, Ridge Farm,
Ill, writes Orange Judd Farmer: Keep
all stock off the roads. We farmers do
nate portion of our farns-on which
we pay taxes, toto the public for
highways-not for COW pastures and
hog lots, but for travel. 1t is the height
Of absurdity to turn domestic animals
out upon the highway. One great rea-
son why this practice has become SO
prevalent is because only about half OF
the strip of land set apart for the high
way purposes is used for roads. Let US
be more careful in this direction. En-
force the law on eight foot hedges, and
allow no hedge brush to remain at the
sides of the road. Keep the weeds also
moved down clean.
1t is time we abandoned the practice
of throwing up a high, narrow grade
with yawning chasm on each side to
collect water, and as the years go by
and better road is determined upon,
putting a foot Of gravel in narrow
strip right in the middle of that, In
winter you can hardly keep on top of it,
and in summer you sincerely wish you
could get somewhere else without up
setting.
The gravel and the horses feet are
continually wearing each other out and
much of the time to no purpose. Farm
ers always will object to gravel roads in
summer, and Justly, too. a good, dry
dirt track is by far the best for man and
beast, saving much expense for shoeing
and blacksmithing, saving the horses,
and immensely saving the gravel during
greater part of the year
Suppose we have ifty-foot roadway.
Allowing six feet on each side between
fence and gutter three feet would do
with wire or picket fencing), and four
feet for gutter and slope, we have left
thirty feet of clear roadway. Make
with an improved grading machine a
slightly rounding grade, the middle
about one foot above the cutters. Give
full width. Tile each gutter three or
four feet below the surface; sewer pipe
is good for culverts if put down deep.
Now lay out two fifteen-foot tracks side
by side on the grade, and as fast as the
township can stand it, gravel one of the
tracks. Put all the gravel to one side
of the middle of the grade. You now
have highway with room for four wag-
ons abreast, and upon which travelling
at any time of year will be pleasure.
With the right kind of men in charge
+ha IF rOoiG will n pVpnDd
in the next twenty-five years the entire
cost of the miserable excuses on which
we now travel.

We are asked by correspondent to
give directions for pitting potatoes, In
the first place we advise carefulness
not to put too many together Build
them up in a ridge, sharp ridge, 50 as
to have say about hundred bushels in
twenty feet of length. The base of the
ridge will be about four feet, and the
sides will slope SO that the pile will
reach three or four feet in height.
Usually a coat of straw is placed next to
the potatoes, but some of our most ex-
perienced agriculturists prefer to put
six or eight inches of mellow dirt on
instead of straw, and then the straw on
the dirt The reason given for this is that
the straw becomes damp and if the
frosts reach it they will penetrate it,
while if layer of mellow dirt is put
next to the potatoes there will be little
danger of this. If pitting is resorted to
it should be done with the full expec-
tation of having severe winter. Never
count on mild winter. If you do, you
will be very likely, in vulgar parlance,
to get left Cover thick enough to pre-
vent the frost from reaching them.
This need not be done at first. On tho
contrary the straw and dirt as above
mentioned may be applied at first and
then, when freezing weather comes,
apply good coat Of COARSE manure OK

The barn-yard, while not otexaetly on the
Cornell" plan, is, l think, equally
good. In the center of the yard and d.
recly back of the doors, big locust posts
set five feet in the ground and rising
above it nearly to the top of the wall,
support an open framework on which
the straw is stacked as it comes from
the thresher. This straw-shed, covered
barn-yard, or whatever one chooses to
call it, is sided with matched pine and
will last for years. On stormy days
stock is turned into it to exercise, or il
the basement should be crowded it
would provide warm, comfortable quar-
ters for at least two hundred sheep. ALI
of the barns and easements have an
abundant and ever-constant supply OF
water provided by cisterns, and a
very complete system of water-works,
connecting with an immense storage
reservoir, holding enough water for
weeks supply, which is filled by
twelve-foot windmill from never-failing
springs. The total cost of these three
barns is somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of $50 or $50 000-a consider
able sum to put in barns, you may say.

DUMAS LITTLE JOKE.

The Playwright Causes Considerable Ex-
citement in Theatrical Circles.
In the theatrical circle of Paris there
is lust now considerable excitement. Du-
mas has been credited with tremendous
practical Joke. In Paris, as in Lond on,
perhaps oven more than in London,
managers are besieged with MS. plays.
AS a rule they are very wary, prefer
ring established regulations, and a new
author is rare bird. Dumas has es-
tablshed his reputation beyond all pos
sibility of overthrow, and he has more
over amassed immense wealth. Neither
his fame nor his balance need suffer IL
he rides his hobby and plays his joke.
This is the joke: He has confided to a
friend-to friend who believes that
speech is golden-his belief in the in
compe tence in matters of judment OF
managers, and even OF critics. The
confession seems at once both un-
generous and audacious, and he is
said to have made it and
to abide by it. Nor does he fear his
fate too much to put it to the test. He
has written play. He has had it copied
with the timid manuscript OF unsuc-
cessful, nervous authorship, and he has
left it furtively with the concierge of
well-known Paris theater. There is no
possible clew except the literary style
of the work, and that, of course. can
not be disguised. If the MS. is rejected
and returned it will be sent on to an
other manager, and thus commence the
tedious circuit of the Paris theaters SO
we'll known to obscure playwrights. II
any manager should decide to accept IL
and should produce it NJ. Dumas de.
clares that as reward for his perspi-
cacity he shall have the play for moth
ing. Twelve hundred pounds sterling
is NJ. Dumas price for play of this
kind Moreover, he is said to have de-
clared that the managers may consult
the critics London Daily Nows.

bracing known as the horseshoe truss"
This peculiar truss is used in all the
barns and is so cheaply and convenient
ly constructed as to become prominent
feature in modern barn building, sup
planting in time purline posts and plates
and tie girts with all their many incon-
venieIc ces, Light and airy as the truss
appears to the common observer, emf
nent engineers, after careful examina-
tton, have pronounced it capable of car
rying with safety railroad train of

The capacity of the barn is something
enormous, holding, as il does, three
hundred and fifty tons of hay in the
bays and loft above the floor. The base
ment is divided into number of com
partmentG designed for the care of cattle.
One is fitted up with stalls for feeding
forty-hve steers, and each has stall,
manger and feeding rack to himself.
Adjoining this room is the COW stable,
having room for eight COWS only, which
are kept solely for the purpose of sup

called, from the fact that it is located

this differs somewhat from the other

is really the most practical barn on the
place. Its dimensions are rs follows

NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
If Thing Is Not Perfect, 1t Is Certainly
Not Good Enough.

If Thing Is Not Perfect, 1t Is Certainly
Not Good Enough.
Nothing is good enough that is not as
good as it can be made. The verdict
good enough" says a well-known
writer, which in boyhood passes the de-
fective task, will become 'bad enough"
when the habit Of inaccuracy has spread
itself over the life.
.,.You have planed that board well,
have YOU, Frank?" asked a carpenter OF
an apprentice.
"Oh, it will do" replied the boy. '1t
don't need to be very well planed for
the use to be made of it. Nobody will
see it," ,
"It will not do if it is not planed as
neatly and as smoothly as possible, !"
replied the carpenter, who had the repu.
tation of being the stand most consc1-
entious workman in the city.
II suppose could make 1t smoother, !"
said the boy.
"Then do it. Good enough has but
one meaning in my shop, and that is
perfect. If thing is not perfect 1T IS
not good enough for me-"
"You haven't made things look very
neat and orderly here in the back part
of the store" said merchant to young
clerk.
"Well, thought it was good enough
for back there where things can not be
seen very plainly, and where customers
seldom go. - t.."
"That won't do," said the merchant,
sharply, and then added, in kinder
tone: "You must get ideas of that kind
out of your head, my boy, If you hope to
succeed in life. That kind of good
enough isn't much better than bad
enough" .ages
The girls who don't sweep in the
corners or dust under things, and the
bows who dispose OF tasks as speedily as
possible, declaring that things will "do'
il they are not we'll done, are the boys
and girls who are very likely tc make
failures in life because the habit OF in
accuracy has become part OF their
characters.
The old adage, "What is worth doing
at all is worth doing we'll" is as true
now as it was when first spoken, and 1t
will always be true, Youths Com

Old Age Out of Fashion.

1t is becoming questionable to die
of old age; violent deaths are the rule.
''Died of broken liver" Died of an
abused stomach" Died as the result of
negligence" ''Died from stealing from
the reserve of vital capital designed for
old age" might be selected from nu-

AGRICULTURAL HINTS,
BROWNS BIG BARNS.
A Trip Through the Genesee valley with
Camera,


Thomas Brown, OF Scottsville, n. Y,
has one of the finest and most product
i've farms in Monroe County. Half of it
is on the Genesee Flats, at this point
two miles in width, and the other half
is upland. Every thing that wealth
and the architect could do to make
large practical barns with an immense
storage power has been done, and as a
result Mr. Brown has the finest barns
of their class in the Genesee valley.
The farm is principally devoted to rails
ing hay and wheat and the buildings
are designed chiefly for the storage Of
those crops. Fig. shows the largest
barn and perhaps the most interesting
one owing to its peculiar construction.
1t is 100 feet long, go wide, with 2s foot
posts, and, as the cut shows, a drive
floor running the entire length with
bays on either side. The roof, which
by the way used up $4,000 shingles, is
supported by an ingenious system of
