the state had no more important task
than to render the acquiring of hnowl-
edge as easy as possible, and for that
purpose to establish many higher
schools. But 1t was not asked whether
there was room enough for employing
men and women when their education
was finished. Taking, for instance, the
career of law In Prussia, we find that
there are 1851 men who have not only
passed through the gymnasium and the
university, but have already served the
state gratis for about Ave years, while
the annual average demand is 100.
There are more than 1000 examined
architects without q fixed employ

gineers, teachers In classics, mathe-

are particularly attracted to the great

CHEAP SHIPPING COOP.

Description of One That Combines Num-
bor Of Advantages.
During the winter and spring great
deal of fancy poultry is shipped by
breeders to all parts of the country.
An item of great Importance to the
shipper, and still greater to the buyer
of thorough bred poultry, is how to
build light. strong and cheap ship
ping coop. Nothing will SO injure
breeders reputation as to ship poultry
to q customer in an old box or heavy
coop, for who wants to pay double ex-
press rates on coop weighing twice
or thrice more than a properly built
one should?
With the present high rates of ex-
press, poultry should be shipped in the
highest coop possible. / have been
using light and cheap shipping coop
during the last few years and will de-
scribe it / call 1t the Oakland ship
ping coop" The illustration is OF
coop 24x12 inches, and 10 inches high.
Build of common lath, which will cost
about 80 cents per bunch. Saw two
lath through the center; this will give
four strips, each "a inches long; three
are for the top and bottom of the sides.
For the bottom of the coop get half
inch board 10 inches wide and "A inches
long, or nail together two pieces of
boards the required width and length.
The four upright strips are each Is
inches long. and should be nailed to the
24-inch strips so as to form square
frame, but be sure to nail the bottom
strip SO there will be one half-inch
hange on the lower side, in order to
nail the frame to the bottom boards.
After these are nailed to the bottom
boards get four strips of lath each 10
inches long, for the ends Nail two OF
these to the bottom and frame, and
this makes the bottom and sides all
complete. Then nail the other two
end strips at the top of the frame, and
your coop is complete. Mailing an
other strip at one end of the top. next
to the uprights, leaves a space one
inch wide for ventilation. Use COM
mon lath nails; wire nails are pre-
ferred, as they can be bent and will
not break. Be sure to clinch all nails
where driven through the laths.
Now for the cover. Procure cheap
muslin five cents per yard, and fasten
1t on with ounce tacks- Tack one
end of the cloth to an upright and then
tear the cloth through the center,
which will make two pieces IS inches
wide. Stretch the cloth tight and tack
at the top and bottom; continue around
N<he sides and ends until the first up
right is reached, where it was first
tackled, then tear off the cloth and turn

the edges under, to prevent it's tearing,
and tack. The top can be covered
easily. Be sure to nail the cloth to the
strip nailed to the upright so as to
leave an open space an inch wide and
10 inches long, for fresh air.
If you are shipping poultry in the
summer the top can be covered with
lath instead of cloth. Nail the strips
three inches apart. and it will be bet
ter than cloth. If you have stencil,
paint your name and address on the
sides and ends OF the coop and the buy
er's name ON top, or use the common
shipping tags.
The coop will weigh about 81
pounds, and will hold trio of fowls OF
the American class or four OF the
medium size. Coops for turkeys and
larger fowls can be made any size de-
sired. When fowls are to be shipped a
long distance feed and water should be
placed in the coop and the following
words painted on the top:
.sPlease feed and water"
A good cup to hold feed is made by
taking common tin cup and soldering
strip of tin to the side, which can be
wound around the upright. This cup
Is for water. and q sort OF pocket can
be sewed on the cloth to hold grain.
Be sure to fasten this so the top will
always be open. Lastly, be sure to
ship only good stock, and be sure to
feed and water them before being de.
livered to the express agent.-Ohio

Some Very Charming Girls who Bear This
Name.
There is nothing more disagreeable
than a ''6nnicky" person, to use an ex-
preston which, perhaps, may not be
found in the dictionary, but which so
aptly describes some over-nice individ-
ual who frets and fumes over a speck
of dust or single hair out of place in
the neatly arranged couture.
These very tidy beings make one
positively uncomfortable, but, perhaps,
to run to this extreme is better than to
be guilty of the other--an habitual I'M
,tidiness of person and belongings that
destroys all the beauty one or the other
may possess. Much as we regret to
say it, there are many, many young
girls from fourteen to eighteen years of
age who are not quite as particular as
they should be about their attire or the
rooms which they occupy.
Pretty, bright, sweet-tempered girls,
too, they are, yet every day we see
them with buttons off their shoes and
gloves, holes in waists pinned up, or
allowed to gap open for the world to
see, hair which plainly shows it needs
good shampooing, and foreheads
where certain grimy marks tell of curl
ing tongs that have never been cleaned
off
The bureau owned by such one is

handkerchiefs consort with books, boxes

This is no fancy picture, as many
mothers can testify who despair of ever
getting their daughters to realize that
neatness is virtue that must be culti-
waited, or they will never have any thing
fit to be seen when the occasion comes
for them to wear good gowns or throw
their rooms open to strangers.
1t is so easy to keep things nice when
once you begin to try; then there Is no
hunting for misplaced articles or PIN
ming on of buttons and hooks at the last
moment, when voices from below call
loudly to Miss Untidy to hurry up, while
she is frantically endeavoring to find
the mate to her glove or catch together
with hurried stitches some unsightly
rent that will in all probability break
out afresh before she has gone square.
The stitch in time and place for
everything and everything in its place
will remedy all this if you start at once
before the habit becomes too deep-seat-
ed to cure, and you will have to go

Did it ever occur to you that the
judicious use of good paint on the outside
of a house can materially increase the
value of the building? Most of the in
crease is in fancy, of course-just in the
appearance of the house-that's all. But
what difference one or two coats Of
paint can make, to be sure Perhaps you
have property you want to sell or rent
and are thinking of painting it. You
would like 1t to be good and permanent
job, but You don't want to spend any more
money than you can help. Here is whore
the Chiffon Paints prove themselves the
most economical, as they are also the most
enduring and westher-defylng. They are
well ground in pure linseed oil and tur-
pentine drier, have good solid body,
and will be found to do as much work as
twice the quantity of some paints, and do
II better, too. Get estimates on one coat,
two coats, and three coats OF Chiffon
Paint. You rarely will need more than
two coats, and where the house is in good
condition and the color about the same as
formerly used, you will be surprised to
see how we'll one coat will look. CHILL

QUEER CUSTOMS.

Corpses Are Always Kept for Three
Months In Borneo.
Mr.. Charles Hose, the British resident
of the Basam district in Bo~neo, has
just sent to the royal geographical So
ciety an interesting account of some Of
the native customs which he learned in
his journey in Saramat. After sleeping
In chiefs house one evening he found
at the head of his bed box containing
the dead body of his hosts wife. It
appears, says the Chicago Inter Ocean,
that the natives always keep corpses
for three months. The body is then re-
moved from the house and conveyed
with much ceremony to the tomb.
cigarettes made of tobacco, wrapped in
the dry leaves of the wild banana, TO
his dead relatives in apo Leggan"
(hades). These cigarettes are placed
ON top of and around the coffin; and,
should the body be that of a man,
his weapons, tools and a small
quantity of rice, with his .spriok''
cooking pot), are deposited in the
tomb with him that he may be able to
continue his daily pursuits in the other
world. But if of a woman, her large
sun-hat, her little hoe-used for weed
ing in the paddy-felds-her beads, ear
rings and other finery are placed with
her body, that she may not be found
wanting on her arrival on the other
side of the grave. Mr.. Hose once was
present when the corpse of boy was
placed in the coffin, and he watched tho
proceedings from a short distance As
the lid of the coffin was closed an old
man came out on the veranda of the
house with large gong and solemnly
beat 1t for several seconds. The chief
said that this was always done before
closing the lid, that the relations of the
dead who had already passed out OF
this world might know that the spirit
was coming to join them. There was
another strange ceremony called
"Dayong Janoi," in which the dead are
supposed to send messages to the liv-
ing, and which proved that Spiritual
