BETTER THAN a CLUB.
New York Policemen Have Adopted
Novel Plan for Arousing Drunks.

New York Policemen Have Adopted n
Novel Plan for Arousing Drunks.
Ever since the New York police COM
missioncrs issued the edict against
members of ''the finest" carrying their
locusts during the day the patrolmen
in the downtown precincts have been
trying to find something to take
the place Of the club when it was
found necessary to recall sleeping
''drunks" from the land of dreams to
the stern realities of existence.
Formerly, says the Evening World, a
free application Of the club to the soles
OF q sleeper's feet had the desired eff
feet Denied that method of arousing
the dormant powers of locomotion In
the sodden gentry 1t was often neces-
sary to spend the greater part Of an
hour persuading an individual to HE
himself away. But II was not long be-
fore the inventive genius of an Oak
street station patrolman made the way
all smooth and beautiful once more.
Now n fve-cent rubber ball has
taken the place of the eighteen-inch
stick. Apparently harmless as this
little toy looks to the uninitiated, its
efficacy as a "bum" accelerator far
exceeds a whole bundle of night
sticks. 1t isn't the rubber ball, but its
contents that does the business. Every
patrolman in the fourth ward now fills
a rubber ball with household ammonia
when he starts out in the morning. A
gentle pressure of the thumb and fin
ger projects fine stream of fluid
lightning from the small hole in the
hollow sphere a distance of several
feet. This tiny stream brought to bear
upon "sleeper's" mustache has never
yet failed to bring about an immediate
revivifying Of the subject, no matter
how inert the bundle of bum" ap-
peared to be a moment previous.

which are at proper intervals and are
firmly set in the ground. A building of
suitable size for small farm is eight
by twelve feet. and six feet from sill to
plate. A partition, as shown in Fig. 1,
leaves an alleyway four by eight feet at
one end, with an outside door, a, as
well as a doorway, B, which gives ac-
cess to the crib. For convenience there
should also be q window at c
This makes n convenient place in
which corn-shellcr may be stored and
used and in which, also, the bags may
be filled when grist is being put up
for the mill. The arrangement leaves
a crib eight feet square for the corn,
and, as it could be filled considerably
above the plates, it would store about
four hundred bushels of ears, or sufii-
cient to make two hundred bushels
shelled- The bottom of the crib is
1oorcd with narrow boards, leaving
space of three-fourths of an inch be-
tween the boards, thus making slat
bottom to the crib instead of slat sides.
The sides should be boarded tight like
any other building. To secure perfect
ventilation, rough doors are hung from
the siIls of the building, against the
posts on which it rests, and care is
taken while the corn is curing to keep
all these ventilating doors closed,
except ON the side towards the wind.
Thus current of air will be continu-
ally forced up through the corn, and
escape through the ventilator in the

In England the period Of mourning
for father-in-law Is twelve months

though the Grape period was formerly
six months For u parent the period

period for n brother is six months
five months black, one month half

merly three months 1t is now almost

deep coughing of her pipes seemed to
emphasize the scene.
Again the word was given; both pis-

foated off, Bostock was seen standing
upright. Castex lay his full length
upon the ground.
Both doctors were instantly kneeling

hole in the forehead showed where the
bullet had traversed the brain.

Mr.. Bostock's face was getting

and found the bullet hole. He inserted
the probe. Then he administered a
stimulant.

The accompanying illustrations from

corn is sheltered in proportion to the
size and expense Of the building, but,
what is of vastly more Importance, the.

moist climates so seriously affect
the value of the crop in the old
fashioned cribs, while it is waiting
