To Elevate Tracks I'm Chicago.

The question of railroad crossings at street
grade. with their accompanying danger to life.
has long been mooted one in Chicago. Depres-
sion OF tho tracks sufficiently below the surface
is impracticable on account of the nearness of
the water sewerage and other underground sys-
TENS to the surface. The conclusion has been
reached that the only way 10 solve the problem
is to elevate the tracks. Officials OF the MIchl-
gan Southern and Rock Island roads which
enter the city over the same tracks. were in
conference with officials of the city on the sub
iect and like conference was held with Bur-
lington road officials short time ago. As vet
no conclusion has been reached. but il is be-
lieved that plans to this end will soon be carried
out 1t is estimated that it will cost $500 600
to $500, 900 a mile to make the proposed change.

WARRENroN, Va, August ls.
Warrenton, Va, one of ''the Old Domin-
ions" most popular summer resorts, has been
and is still we'll patronized by prominent
Washingtonians and Baltimoreans. The large
town hall was filled last Friday night with a
bevy Of pretty girls, tine occasion being a
pink german" given by the young ladies, an
effort to represent the familiar scene from the
popular opera "Erminie." and In this and eyery
other respect the pink german was a de-
cided success The hall was beautifully dec
GRATED, the one hundred lamps with their pink
shades together with the pink draperies all
over the rooms and the pink gowns worn by
ali the ladies made a very pretty sight In the
center OF the hall stood a large pink Nav
pole" which was used in one of the figures
The cotilion WAS led by DIR. Baldwin Day and
Mrs. Grenville Gaines, and the favors given
were numerous of pretty pink designs. Fifty
five couples and eleven .'stags" took part in
dancing. which continued until o clock, broke en-
only by an intermission for supper. Tho gen
tlemen ali wore large pink ''rosettes." and
many donned the pink cravst and pink sash.
Washington was well represented by Miss
Wilson. Miss Lizzie Tyler, Misses Fannie and
Jennie Cox. Miss Milburn, the Misses William
son. the Misses Plains, Misses Mills and Miss
Dering.
Gen. ". II. Payne, Hon. Eppa Hunton and
Aessrs. T. E. Whitney, Nat Tyler, jr., J. C.
Pickett. Percy wyers, J. p. shepherd Of Wash
ington were present After the german con.
gratulations and thanks were extended by al

Hot Water Kills Thirst.

+ rom t'It NOW Y0rk JournaL
1t is mistake to suppose that cold drinks
are necessary to relieve thirst. Very cold
drinks, as rule, increase the feverish con-
dtion of the mouth and stomach, and so create
thirst Experience shows It to be fact that
hot drinks relieve the thirst and ''cool off, the
body when il is in an abnOrmally heated con-
dtion better than ice-cold drinks. 1t is far
better and safer to avoid the free use of drinks
below 60 degrees; in fact higher temperature
is TO be preferred. Hot drinks also have the
advantage of aiding digestion, instead Of caus-
ing debility OF the stomach and bowels

WOMEN ON SUDDEN ARE WISER THAN MEN

suffering with the functional disturbances Of

His Congregation Never Deserted Him.


From the Pttsburg Dispatch.
A clergyman was lamentlng the fact that his
congregation appeared to be restless during
his sermons. and declared that many of the
members OF his flock would get up right at a
time when he fancied himself most impress
sive and would leave the house.
That's bad" answered a young preacher,
"but must say that do not experience any
such annoyance. Not single member of my
congregation gets up and goes out during
services"
You don't say so!' the first speaker ex-
claimed. How do you manage it?"
Il don't manage it at all-seems to manage
itself"
Don't they complain when you preach a
long sermon?"
No. I've never heard a word of complaint ="
That is indeed singular. Your people must
have been exceptionally well brought up"
mo, think not"
Then you must be one of the most eloquent
of men What Is the style of your preaching
"Oh rather dry, am compelled 10 admit.
do not possess the faculty of drawing an inter-
esting illustration or of throwing out a bright
idea"
We'll, WE'LL have never heard Of ANYTHING
30 wonderful. And you tell me that no one
ever gets up and goes out?"
Yes, that's what tell you"

THE FARMING WORLD.
CHEAP AND WARM.

An Easily Constructed Poultry-iouse
Combining Warmth and Cheapness.
A hen. house which combines warmth
and cheapness can be made as follows
and as shown in the accompanying en-
craving: Select well-drained sand
bank sloping to the south or southeast
Perhaps such one is handy, from
which quantities of sand or gravel have
beon taken until there is already dug a
place large enough oput in just what Is
wanted-a hen-house entirely In the
sand, except the front. The only OBJ
jectionable feature in a building OF this
kind is dampness, and from the start
this must be provided against carefully
by tho, ough system of drainage, both
above and below For this purpose tiles
are almost Indispensable. II the water
can be kept away, the fowls will find
tho sand agreeable and the situation
warm and healthful, while its exposure
to the southern sun will give the layers
a chance 20 bask and exercise all day
and they will lay as wesl as during
summer, provided their food be OF the
right kind, and varied. On starting,
draw from the woods enough seven-foo'
posts to set one evory Ave feet across
Feliciana sentinel. [volume] (St. Francisville, La.) 1877-1892, 1890-10-04

the space to be occupied by tho front OF
the building Or these may be placed
in position standing squarely with
sawed ends on fiat stones imbeddea In
the sand. On top of them spike SIX
inch pole the length of tho front OF the
building.
Another row of posts Of the same
length or perhaps one foot shorter
should be placed further into the sand
bank where the back of the building Is
to come, with rider on top as men
toned for the plate on the first posts
or if an abundance OF stone De nanoy'
this row of posts can be replaced oy
wall. Wood, however, Is pre1eraole'
because itdoesn't gatheran hold moist
ure so much. but is more expensive pe-
cause less durable. Across these horl-
Zontal top poles run heavy, rough TIM
bers six to ten inches In diameter.
These will not need saving and can oe
rudely spiked or pinned to the poles.
The entire structure must be heavily
built, because it is to be rooied with
sand and sod. Above the rafters, which
are as we'll fiat as any other way, should
be laid a quantity OF slabs or straight
poles close together. On these may be
thrown a layer of sweet fern or hard
hack brush, or even mat OF dried
leaves, to be followed by two feet or
moro of sand. Over the sand spread at
least six inches of good loan. and sod
over this. 1t should be mounded enough
to shed rain tolerably well and Will look
on top like our old-fashioned outdoor
cellars SO common in the Hudson river
valley. The sides may be treated IN the
same manner with slabs and leaves and
heavily banked with sand. The entire
lob can be sodded SO that it will be far
from ugly in appearance The front
should slope gently from the top OF the
posts to the ground, the bottom being
! about two feet from the posts. From
this point the earth should rapidly de-
scend so that al water may be carried
away from the building. Two windows
of good size, but not TOO large, and a
door may be placed in front of this
building, and roosts and nests within.
During extreme cold weather house OF
this kind will be greatly enjoyed by the
poultry and Will present no objection
able features. Farm and Fircsldc.
