FURNISHING a HALL.
Suggestions as to Tasteful and Convenien
Arrangement.

suggestions as to Tasteful ana convenient
Arrangement.
Lay a large rug in the center, and at
the foot of the stairs a long narrow
one. Place another long rug before the
fireplace. If the fireplace is for wood,
have brass or wrought-iron andirons;
have poker, tongs and shovel to match.
Hang a pair of bellows and small,
bright hearth-brush on each side of the
fireplace. If you have a closet in which
to hang coats, wraps, etc, you will not
require a hall stand. If you must have
one get one with a broad seat and long
mirror; in the seat may be kept rub
bers and various small things. If there
is Il closet place a long, broad mirror
over the mantel and do not use a
hall stand. Have table near the
hall door, on which can be placed
hats, etc, If your vestibule is large
enough a hall stand may be placed
there. In one part of the room have
broad, comfortable sofa or a couch,
with plenty of pillows. Near this set
a low, strong table, on which keep a
lamp. Place several comfortable rat
tan and wooden chairs about the hall.
If you can afford it put tall clock on
the first landing of the stairs. If this
is out of the question have a clock of
good size on the hall mantel. Have
hair cushions made to fit the seat on
the second landing on the stairs. If
there is no clock for the first landing
place handsome chair or low. broad
cushioned seat there. Do not cover
the stained glass window. Drape the
clear glass windows with soft lace or
China silk, and for long draperies use
plain velours or chenille.-Ladies'
Home Journal.

FARM AND GARDEN.
HAULING CORN FODDER.

A Number of Devices Calculated to
Tighten the Work.
In answer to a number of inquiries
as to the best means of hauling corn
fodder, several devices are illustrated
by the Orange Judd Farmer, by which
the loading and unloading is made
easier. Part of them have been pub
lished before, but for the benefit of
new readers and others who have for
gotten how to construct them they are
again presented. Fig. 3 explains itself.
1t consists of an ordinary hay rack
with a post and lever which works
upon a pivot arranged upon the back
part. A strong rope is tied about the
shock and the hook upon the chain at
the upper end of the lever placed under
it. The shock is then lifted upon the
rack by this means. Leave the rope

top and raised during the day, being
let down after the fowls have gone to
rOoSt.
The barrel below the platform is in
a convenient position to receive each
day the accumulation of droppings
upon the platform. If the hallway is
at one side or in the rear of this roost-
ing place the nests can very convenlent-
ly be placed beneath the platform and
made accessible from the hallway

where snow is on the ground most of
the time. 1t consists simply of rope,
which is looped around three or more
shocks. A team is then hitched to one
end and the whole dragged to the feed
yard This will probably not be con-
sidered favorably, but it is said to work
satisfactorily and may be worthy Of
trial during snowy weather.

on, and the shocks can be unloaded in
the same manner. Fig. l shows plat
form which when placed between the
fore and hind wheels of an ordinary
wagon, or, better still, low truck
wagon, makes it very easy to load corn
fodder. Its construction is very simple,
as can easily be seen from the engrav-
ing. 1t can be of any length desired,
governed by the strength of material,
height of wheels. etc. Fig. 9 is recon-

SHILOH.
THOSE GOOD OLD FAMILIES.

Mrs James B. Beers, who died last week, was the daughter of uncle. James Clark, who was the father or II children, seven boys and four girls. She was the last one, the last to die or the II. How much this expresses! Loar was once alive with such families. Think or the Curtis family. Divine Curtis, with Cyrene, Alfred, William, Edwin, N ram, the oldest, Phoebe, Sophia, Mary ana oa- rah, who died when 16 years old. Now one stands astonished at the large faml- lies of this vicinity in years ago! George Bradley, father of 10 children, AbJah Bradley, Joel Sherman, Marshall Jordan, Truman Judson, Giles Loveland, all large families, and all nearly gone. Patrick Lynch, with 13 children, is the only one to keep up the old style, which was once the foremost section of NewtoWn, and when Rev Daniel Burhans was the ablest Episcopal minister in town, and when Squire Hard kept store on the four cor ners at St Johns church, this part of the town was ''blossoming like the rose." The pr Berry family, which figures so prominently in Mrs c. T. Woodruff stShiloh,' ,'' lived in the old house now oc- cupied by Martin Ryan as barn. How instructive and interesting are such changes. If we take up Rollins history, we find that the maps of nations were frequently changing. Roman armies and thousands of other armies sweeping over the earth in sections, as clouds darken and then suddenly let in the genial sun over the wide spread desolation. So ev- en towns change, "the fittest' are always at the top somewhere!

GOOD FARMERS, THESE l

A new wind mill adorns the barns of A. w. Fairchild & Son, in Taunton dis trict. It is an aermotor of the latest pat tern and was furnished and put up by the Aermotor company of Chicago, through their state agent, J T. Meehan of Hart ford. And it was not put on the barn for show, as will be seen on going inside the building, for here the Messrs Fairchild have partitioned off room, put in line of shafting and mill for grinding grain. This is not all, for out on the barn floor stands their feed cutter, which is also propelled by the new power. It has on- ly been on their barn about a week, but so far, has given excellent satisfaction, doing good work. The Messrs Fairchild are farmers alive with the times and
 wherever they see that machinery can aid them with their work, and prove g profitable investment, it is their policy to give 1t trial. If farmers generally

SPRING IS COMING.

Shiloh is now b1ockaded with snow banks. No plank walks, no macadam roads, no getting to church from the woods, not a selectman seen anywhere in this vicinity. Even the blue jays scream fearfully while flying over us. The crows pass along, too poor to comment upon such forbidden hills. Quail are dead or disconsolate, and even trout are paralyzed and suffocated. The brooks are now ''protected'' and the ''lowly' are just equal to anybody. But when spring gets good hold upon Jack Frost she will ''pluck him by the beard'' so that he will scamper away to the air, the riv- CTS snd the engulfing sea. The happy notes of blue birds and phoebe are due, the anemones and hepaticas dreaming wide awake of genial suns. Yes, all an- innate creation will soon ''leap for joy Life will sweep o'er the dead. But can not the dead, who have with us enjoyed the raptures of spring and summer, come to us in the near opening of the ''Para- disc of spring g?''-[G. w. B.

FR1GHTFUL DEATH OF GEORGE SHEARS

George Shears, who was also known as George Davis and George Burhans, met his death at Kent, last week Friday, un- der peculiar circumstances. Shears has lived in Newtown four or five years and is the son of Mrs James Burhans. He formerly worked on the farm of William Fairchid at Taunton. It appears that Shears boarded the train to attend fun eral at Kent. There are different stories as to the way he met his death. One is that he was taken with sea sickness from riding on the cars and went out to the rear platform, fell of and met his death. Another and more likely is to the effect that upon the arrival of the train at Kent, young Shears got off and started to walk away. Suddenly he changed his mind and decided to get on to the train again. a doing so, his foot slipped and he fell under the wheels. His right arm and side and his head were crushed. He was brought to Newtown on the milk train and taken to his home, where he died about II D. m. The funeral was attend. ed on Sunday from the Congregational church, Rev MT Delzell officiating.

RAILROAD GOSSIP.

All freight trains on the Consolidated road must henceforth carry five red lights on the rear car. This step is taken so that the engineers of trains following freights can have no excuse, should they come in collision, by saying that there were no red lights on the train ahead of them. The three red lights will cont inue on all passenger trains as heretofore. The new order is the result of the dispute as to rear lights after the accident at Au- burn, R. l.
