New Stable Apparatus.

The stables at the chief fire station, Jackson's row, Manchester, have been fitted with new apparatus that is cal. culated to add to the comfort of the horses and at the same time to facili- tate the turning out" of the brigade The apparatus consists. roughly speak. ing, of movable shutter at the en, trance to the stall, and to it Is attached the manager The shutter can be raised by moving pin and can be fitted to an ordinary stable.
 The advantages claimed for the sys- tem are the prevention of horses from Kicking one another or any one who may happen to be passing by them IL avoids turning horses in their stalls, and thereby the risk of spinal injury It allows them to front the stable door instead of standing with their heads to the wall, thereby breathingal the good air that enters the stable without draft and in every way it renders the horses condition as cheerful as pos sibIe when fastened up within the stall the stall being always available as 0 loose box without alteration or addi ton.
 When rapid harnessing Is q consider ation one-half the usual time will be gained by not having to run 10 the manager or to turn the horse when har messed. New York Telegram

Heavy Rainfalls.

In England the discharge of water in sheets from the clouds is not unknown though much more seldom seen than on the Continent During a storm at Odessa one June some twenty two years ago three inches of rain fell in less than an hour. Many of the sew CTS were burst the streets converted into glens, and in the suburbs eighty seven houses totally destroyed This was mild, however, compared with the thirty inches which fell in Genoa with in twenty-four hours, or the twenty nine inches which flooded Joyeuse, in France, within twenty four hours. On the other hand, we hear of Ambukol, in Nubia, where rain fell only five times in the years 1893 and 1894, and of Talta, on the Indus, which had not a drop for three years. London Tit Bits

A Strange wIli.

Perhaps the strangest will ever had to draw up was that of wheelwright who had amassed quite a comfortable sum in the exercise of his calling. He was a member of the Church of Eng land, but he had a great objection to the clergyman of the parish because he was in the habit of preaching in sur pliee instead of the black gown to which the wheelwright had been ac cpstomed in his youth The old fellow left the clergyman the very handsome sum of E20O on condition that he preached a funeral sermon over him of not less than two hours duration, and wore black gown for the occason.
 When the old rnau died the parson, who was rich man, very good na- turrdly fulfilled the conditions of the vii pd gave the money in charity to lhe p.'ur of the parish. But he must have had hard work to spin out his sermon on the deceased wheelwright to the required length. Interview in Lon don 'fit-Bits

Benefits of Good Roads.

They would make it possi-
sible for the farmers to take
advantage promptly of the
highest market, no matter at
what season of the year. They
would allow him days and
weeks Of time which he wastes
every year wallowing through
the disgusting mlre of dirt
roads They would reduce to
a minimum the wear and tear
on wagons and carriages.
They would lessen the ex-
pense in keeping horses in
working order, and vastly less
horses would be required in a
county to perform the farmers
work. They would require
less expense to keep them in
repair than do the dirt roads.
They would make it easier for
a team to pull several tons
over their smooth surface than
to drag wagon through the
mud. They would afford rea-
dy communication with the
outside world at all times of
the year. They would spare
the farmer many vexations
and nervous strains and would
practically shorten the dis
tance to the local market.
They would increase the de-
mand for country and suburb
an property. They would be
free from dirt in summer, and
mud and ruts in fall, winter
and spring. They would bring
every farming community into
closer social relations. They
would make an evenings drive
a pleasure instead of a vexa-
tion, as it is now.

The Latest Railroad NesUs.
LEWISTON, March Is, 1899.

The railroad committee have returned
from Spokane and report having had
their talk with Mr.. Oaks, and they feel
very much encouraged. Mr.. Oaks has
taken all Of the data they furnished
him with and promised to present the
matter to the directors at their meeting
in the latter part of this month, with
his recon mendation that the road be
completed. So now we have got the
matter before those in full power to act,
and feel encouraged, and have good
hopes of early action in the matter.
There is this about It. every indication
is that we will soon know whether we
are in 1t or not, and this is what We
want to know, so we will know how to
cut our cloth. Mr.. Vollmer accompa-
MES Mr.. Oaks on his way east. The
people of Spokane have taken very
active part in this matter and realize
that it will make a great difference in
the trade of that city, for it will bring to
them heavy traffic that now goes to
Portland by the U. p. And what about
the last named place? Will she consid
er this trade worth holding and urge
the U. P. up to building? think she
will, and this will bring forth struggle
between the two companies, the result
of which will be two lines of road to
your country, and a tapping of the
country south of the Salmon and Grand
Ronde rivers.

Keep ont of Debt.

Farmers ought to get out of
debt and keep out of debt
when they once get out. The
debtor is a servant and his
task is thankless one. If he
pays his honest debts he only
does his duty. If he fails he
suffers reproach and abuse.
Debt is hard and cruel task
master. The remedy for this
is to spend less than we make.
1t is not what a man makes
but what he saves that makes
him comfortable and increases
his wealth. Money easily bor-
rowed is quickly spent and
hard to repay. Let farmers
rot be over anxious to borrow
on any terms or at any rate Of
interest, however low; for hon
est men must pay back what
they borrow. A fear of debt
is wholesome. A farm cover
ed with mortgage is not a hap
py possession, but is a good
place for its owner to have
nightmares. Self-denial, econ
omy and intelligent industry
can soon clear this land of so
many debtors among the far
merS.
