Foreign Comments on the Election.

The London papers speaking of the result Of
our Presidential election give the following !:
The Times after commenting on the fact
that the republican party sin ce Grants sec
ond term has only retained its hold on the
country by mechanical advantages that would
have been swept away almost at any time by
plebiscite, says
s'Even the creation of new States and the
exclusion from recognition of Territories sus-
pected to be democratic failed to check the
progress of the overwhelming tidal wave.
The catastrophe is the more complete because
it was wholly unexpected. If, as the repub-
lcans boosted. the masses of the people ia
vored the Mckinley law the democrats could
not have swept all before them. How far the
democrats are able and willin & to go III the
direction of tariff reform is another matter.
Without control of the Senate it will be i'm
possible to repeal the Mckinney law. The
probabilities favor combination rendering
tariff reform possible, but the democrats are
likely to move with extreme caution. The
molaI of Cleveland s obligation to Tammany
Hall is not a consoliI,g one. His election is
not only protest against extreme protection,
but death blow to the efforts of party men
to continue the manufa curing OF political
capital from memories of the civil war;
The st. James Gazette says that some salts
faction is felt in England at Mr.. Cleveland's
going back to the White House. The Blaine
Harrison regime, it adds. has been far from
agreeable to British interests, and a majority
of the American people believe it has been
equally prejudicial to themselves.
The Post thinks that the repeal of the Nc
Kinley law will be imprsacticable because all
the money Of the United States treasury will
be required to meet bills which the republi-
cans have accepted on account of pensions
and naval expenditures and because the re-
peal of the law would cause too great a dislo-
cation OF trade. 'sThe Americans the Post
adds. ARE to be congratulated upon the proof
afforded by the election of the complete fill

FIG. 1.

The engravings need but little explana-
ton. Fig. shows the rack after 1t IS
put together as it stands on the wagon
to hold the hogs, sheep or calves, and
Fig. 9 shows precisely the same thing
when used as a hayrack.
The framework is constructed as fol-
lows: There are two sidepieces (made
of oak or other strong stuff. IA to 16 feet
long. as may be desired)2 by 6 inches,
and connected at each end. as shown IN
drawing, by by strip fastened firmly
by bolts passing through the sldepleces
as they rest upright on the wagon. Then
there are four crosspieces bolted onto
the bottom of sidepieces, as shown,
which are made of by AZ inch lumber,
the end ones being placed about SIX
inches from end of sidepieces. A board
I inch thick and 12 inches wide is firmly
fastened lengthwise of the rack, as shown
in Fig. 2. The crosspieces are mortlsed
Az by ~ inches) with slanting NOR
tise to receive the supports of the side
frames. as shown. These mort1ses are
made 81 inches from inside of the side
pieces. The supports OF the side frame
work are made of hard wood and are
feet long: at the bottom they are by
inches, tapering to by 2 at the top, and
at bottom of each tenon is cut to MT
into the mortise in crosspieces. There
are four of these supports or uprights on
each side. as shown, and to these are
bolted and nailed four boards by 4, as
shown in diagram. The top of the up
right or post is cut at an angle, so that
when the top board is fastened on it will
be exactly parallel to the crosspieces at
the bottom when used as hayrack,
thus furnishing a convenient footing for
man to stand upon when the rack is in
position for loading hay. The top board
has usually been made same width a

informs us that he thinks it would be
better inches wide.
These boards are both bolted and nailed
to the uprights and spaced about as fol-
lows: The bottom board IA inches from
the tenor space 324 inches, second board,

made as shown in diagram, and are held
in place by rod same as the end gate to
wagon bed. The upright for holding
the lines is hinged to the top crosspiece
and may be used or removed at pleasure.
The whole rack when completed is in
five pieces-bottom, sides and ends
each piece firmly made and handled sepa-
rately in putting together for use on the
wagon and separately lifted off and hung
up when done using. On the outside OF
each sidepiece of bottom frame and di-
rectly over each crosspiece there is a
strong iron staple bolted through the
sidepiece, which holds the bottom of the
upright when used as hograck. as
shown in Fig. l. These staples are about
3la by IL in the clear, so that the up
rights pass readily through them, the bot
tom of uprights, after passing through,
resting on end Of crosspiece, which ex-
tends about half an inch outside Of frame.

experience says that he has known many
men who have tried to wind their
watches every morning instead of at
night. but he has never known one to
succeed. There are men who wind their
watches at a fixed hour every day. but
men in general are accustomed to wind
them just before going to bed, and they
seem unable to change that habit. New

could be trained like horse, and he
practiced that system with his own ami
