sion 80 by 80 feet ON the north side, as
per plan No. 2, would meet all require
ments. The basement is extended for
breeding ewes, the southwest extension
for the rams and shepherds rooms and
also TO break the northwest winds from
the yards, and the extension ON the
north side for root cellar in the base
ment and grainroom overhead
The building is constructed on the
cantalever principle, thoroughly braced
and bolted with seven-eighths inch bolts,
as shown in plan No. l. The advantages
of this construction are that no posts are
required above basement, which leaves
practically clear NOW the entire length
Of the building. Strength and cheapness
are also claimed, but / frankly admit
that the latter did not receive much
consideration.
The foundation walls are feet 3
inches thick and ii feet high "above
ground" built of faced stone laid in
cement, plastered on the outside with a
mixture of pitch and tar. The lumber
used is all Of first quality of the follow
ing dimensions: Stills, girts, posts,
levers and main rafters, by ~ inches;
floor timbers, by IL; studdings and
rafters, by 10; flooring, 2 by 8,
matched. Roof sealed tight and shingled
with California red cedar shingles.
The basement is Ia feet high, and have
an abundance of windows The lower
panes of glass, which are stationary, are
80 by 10. The upper glass is 10 by 10,
set In sash and operated by the Hitching
system of ventilation, which is in COM
mon use in greenhouses. 1t is operated
by one crank in the center of the build
ing. By this means get equal ventila-
ton and save time by opening or shut
ting all the windows from one central
point and by one movement.
The doors are ~ by 10 feet, hung
with a steel band running over pulley
and run up and down. AS the doors
weigh but five pounds more than the
weights, they run very easily and 80
far work most satisfactorily. The Stat
doors are hung in the same way just
inside of main door. left nine inches

iron bar through, which can be easily
pulled out, the idea being to take it out
when the feed is being put in and the
ewes and lambs are out in the yards, to
allow the lambs the opportunity of hav-
ing the first pick at the feed.
The doorways are rounded with mar
row matched stuff, so that the ewes can
not get jammed running in or out. The
posts in basement are round, IA inches
In diameter The corners of all racks
are planned off, and, in fact, there is not
sharp corner in the basement where a
eve can rub her fleece loose.

Measuring Brain work.

An apparatus for measuring brain
effort has been made by J. l.. Balbi,
who suggests that the arrangement
might be made to point out the proper
studies for children, or those which car
be pursued with the least work and mos
profit, says an English paper. In the
center of some heat conducting mate
rial he places thermo-electric pile
which is connected by flexible wire to
sensitive galvanometer. The slightest
rise In temperature, due to rush of blood
in the head, is indicated by the galva-
nometer, the effect, of course, increasing
with the intensity of the mental work

There are many ways of eating or
anges, but the Floridian has probably
the most common sense way Of disposing
Of the fruit. He uses sharp knife and
pares the orange much the same as ONE
would peel an apple, taking care not to
cut through the white rind that protects
the pulp Then holding the orange at
the poles and cutting through the cen

She sat two seats away.

Her teeth like cleaning pearls,
Her eyes as blue as summer skies,
A wealth of golden curls.

There came a look Of pain.

The rose tint fade away,

In speechless agony.

The editor of The Popular Science
Monthly takes certain imaginative writ
ers to task for their unscientific and alb
surd statements regarding "the young
moon" and "the crescent moon" and adj
vises them to leave it alone, because they
so often contrive to get it in the wrong
place. In story which has come under
his notice he finds two friends described
as sitting out one summer evening look
ing over the Thames, and the writer goes
ON to say, by this time the young moon
had arisen, and its cold light shimmered
over the misty river" Such writers are
reminded that the young moon goes tc
bed early and can never be seen in the
process of rising.

She Didn't Take With the Gentlemen.
She was refined, intelligent, and not
bad looking, but somehow she never SEEM
ed to take with the gentlemen. They
didn't like her listless ways they said she
hadn't any 'snap" about her. Poor girl
she was suffering from functional irregu-
larities. and it was actually impossible for
her to take much interest in anything
But change came. One day she heard
of Dr. Pierce's Fayorite Prescription. She
procured bottle, and she had not taken
half its contents when she felt like anoth-
er woman. Now she is in the enjoyment
of perfect health, and has suitors by the
score. No woman need suffer from func-
ii, nal regularties and weaknesses. The
"Favorite Prescription" is safe and GER
tain cure for all the weak nesses to which
women are peculiarly subject.

Egyptians deemed them symbolical of the
