The Relation of the Ministry to Reform.

DDGAOb AONOCAIH' SAA~A S$NA
cFlticisma on the attitude Of ChristianE
and the Christian ministry in particular
toward reform work, entirely too severe,
and will not bear impartial criticism,
NOR stand in the light OF candid history.
While 1t was, and is now, lRmentAbly
true that many so.called Christian min
isterB, have sold their principles, like
political editors, TO money and position,
and sought to evsde great moral queS-
tions like the Peoples party does in re-
gard to prohibition, yet in nothing like
the proportion indicated in your edi-
torlal. There was enough in most all
great denominations who opposed the
ain Of slavery, to divide the church, and
some smaller churches opposed it So
whole.
In regard TO a prohibition plank win
ming to your party 'the noblest army Of
Christian reformers the world has ever
SEEM" ] still contend it 10 true, but re-
fer more to quality than to numbers. /
can see no intelligent reason why the
prohibition party and yours could not
unite il this one more plank was added,
and / think, Brother McLallin, IL you
were running for president that tho
many thousand prohibition voters would
seem to you a mighty host, and Rs to
their loyalty to principle, the fact that
for years they have stood firm and un-
daunted for the right proves to me that
, there is more pure, unalloyed Christian
itY in the prohibition party than in the
same number Of men in any other party
in the world. These are men which no
political party with moral principles and
good character could afford to lose. Be-
sides the noble army Of female reform
ora now working in unison with the pro-
hibition party, could make common
cause with you and throw the whole
weight Of their In fluence in your favor.
In the very issue OF your paper In which
my former article was printed, read in
the news items that the conference Of a
great denomination in your own district
affirmed that they would not vote with,
or affiliate with, any party which did not
put themselves on record plainly on pro-
hibition.
In the same paper, / believe, saw
where two ministers eloquently de-
fende d the rights Of the poor and the
oppre ssed, and this ia only q sample of
what is going on all over this land in the
moulding OF public sentiment by the
Christian ministry. In the Christian
work in which am engaged, / think II
would be hard to find minister who
votes with the old parties. Our editor
has surely been sadly neglected In his re-
ligious education, or else been con-
nsCtsd with q people who had much
aristoCracy and little salvation, or he
would not think that so large q proper
ton OF the ministry would sell their
principle for money. Some ministers
may do what ] am afraid the Peoples
party is doing, feel Of the popular pulse
and consult policy and popular favor,
instead Of being loyal TO God and right;
bat It Is a lack Of Christianity which
causes it.

A BIG BOA IN A SEWER.
BY the Aid Curious Monkey He Es-

Washington, July 6-By the aid of a

Mr.. Jacobs, ibis assistant, and they tried 10

was determined not to do. Mr. Schmidt
killed several Guinea pigs, rats ana other
pets and fed them to the snake, who ate
them with relish and retired to a corner

MR.. PULLMAN's POSITION.
Violation of Business Rules, He Says,
Would Wreck His Business.


Alexandria Bay, N. Y, July 9.-Tbe
following written statement by George
M. Pullman on the subject of arbitration
was given to the Press correspondent to-
night by his son-in-law, George West of
New York:
II have before stated there is no solu-
ton practicable unless those who wish to
be employed at the Pullman shops realize
and act upon the rule of business that the
aggregate cost of piece of work must
not exceed its selling price. A continuous
violation of that rule must wreck the
Pullman shops or any other shop and
permanently stop all work of Its en-
ployes. This company cannot control the
selling price of cars, and it cannot pay
more for making them than it can con
tract to sell them for. 1t is impossiblesto
submit to arbitration whether or not it
shall do 50, and that it shall DO so is the
demand made upon the company.

GOOD SHEEP BARN.

Several Things to BE Considered Regard
ing Location and Construction.
In building permanent sheep barn
there are several things to be consid.
cred.
The location should be high and dry,
facing the south. If possible, where
plenty of good, dry yard room can be
had.
The building must be so constructed
as to be free from dampness, drafts
and foul air
A very good barn for 100 sheep of
medium size may be built thirty by
| fifty feet, either with a stone or brick
basement, all above ground, not less
than eight feet high Is the clear land,
better, nine or ten), With many large
windows near the top, so arranged as
to open and close easily, and with
three doors ten feet wide on the south
side. These will allow teams and
wagons to pass in and out in hauling
out the manure, and should be kept
wide open, except in stormy weather
and when the wind blows in.
The barn above may be sixteen to
twenty feet high, and can easily be
filed with hay from an end door by
means Of hay fork and track.
We have two such barns-one thirty
by forty that accommodates eighty
large breeding ewes, another thirty
by sixty-feur. We are often asked

l can't understand, said n young

young men, who see so much and
know so much, persist in the phrase
keep a stiff upper lip" You use it az
a sort of picturesque synonym for firm
ness of purpose and demeanor, but il

is not the weak member of the two; it
is the under lip that wants stiffening.
The upper lip is practically expression

upper lip-and in conversation, es-

it is in the tremulousness of the under

mans lower lip is seldom still, and
there is sometimes about 1t positive
pulsation that takes in the whole curve

lower lip, and is really confined to it,
for the upper lip is only pushed out by
pressure from below. you can't pout
with your upper lip alone.
In fact, you can't assume or affect
any expression with the upper lip alone.

CARE OF SHOES,
How to Repair Rundown Heels and Re-
move Unpleasant Odors.

move Unpleasant Odors.
There is hardly a woman but laments
lver the rather perverse way in which
her shoes lose their shape. 1t matters
little whether they be cheap or expen-
sive, soles will return, heels run down,
vamp wrinkle and the toes turn up.
This condition is the despair of neat
and dainty women who wish their be-
longings to signify the fact
For rundown heelsn dealers say no
remedy exists but to have them Juilt
up. This is not only good, but neces-
sary for the preservation of the shoes
correct shape. One shouid be as watch
full of this as of rip in a glove, and as
quickly careful to remedy it.
When the least wearing shows on the
bottom or side of the heel. take the
boot Immediately to the shop and have
new layer put on. 1t is good plan
never to allow the defect to reach a
stage when two layers must be re.
newed. This watchtulness unquestion-
ably is the stitch in time that saves
nine.
The reason for this is apparent.
When the heel runs down the weight
comes on the ball of the foot, there is
20 steadiuess, the shoe rocks and the
sides of the soles go. The under curve
of the instep is turned into an ungain-
ly line, and the shoe is out of form.
Women who walk on one side of the
foot quickly wear away the leatherand
sole where they meet; they shouldhavc
their bootmaker put on an extra SIX
teenth of an inch depth in the sole on
that side. This throws the weight
equally on both sides of the shoe, and
prevents the one part giving away be-
fore the other.
For wrinkling that disfigures the
vamp, nothing serves the purpose so
well as the use of trees" These cost
from two dollars and half TO five dol
lars pair. Each shoe should be placed
over one as soon as taken off The
shape is entirely preserved by this
method. These trees are as expensive
as pair of shoes, but one pair lasts
! forever. They are one of the necessary
Injuries for every neat woman.
Some bootmakcrs suggest that the

why we did not build them wider.
answer that fifteen feet on each side
is far enough to move the hay dropped
in the center, and a wider barn would
be harder to ventilate. Our hay doors
are in the end, are twelve feet wide by
fourteen feet high, and hung ut the
bottom on heavy hinges, have staple
and ring near the top on the inside to
which a rope is attached to fasten to
the hay-carrier to lower and raise the
door as needed.
Where stone and brick are scarce
and expensive, the barn can be all
frame except foundation, which
should be as high as the manure is al
lowed to accumulate.
Twenty-four-foot posts can be used
and the first eight feet taken for the
sheep stable and the balance used for
the hay barn. If ensilage is wanted 1t
can be built longer, and as much at
one end used for silo as is necessary
to supply the flock with a succulent
ration each day.
1t is good plan to build in the form
of an l., as this gives shelter from the
prevailing winds, yet there is one OBJ
lection to this--lack of yard room.
The thirty by fifty-foot barn with
three wide doors can be divided into
three apartments, with long feed racks,
or with movable panels of fence where
the round racks are used. Two on
three hay chutes should run up through
the cen Ter of the barn; these should be
boarded up, with doors on sides that
should be kept shut when not feeding
these act as ventilators and should
pass up to the ventilators in the cupolas
on the roof of the barn.
| To illustrate the ground plan az such
barn / give the accompanying dia-
gram.
AAA: Compartments of barn six.
teen and two-thirds by thirty feet.
b b b. Yards thirty by sixty feet.
(The middle one will be as much less
sixty feet long as is taken off for path
way to watering place-not more than
ten feet.)
CCC. Doors of barn ten feet wide.
DDDD. Gates to yards.
EE E L E f. Large windows.
FF. Chutes for hay and ventilator.
G. Well or watering trough for ali
yards.
H II. Better place for watering
troughs.
III. Round feeding racks if panels
Of movable fence are used to form the
compartments.
In stormy and windy weather this
barn should be closed on the side OF
sides from which the storm comes and
opened on the opposite sides, giving
plenty eff fresh air at all times.
Our thirty by forty foot barn men
toned above, with eight and a-half
foot stone basement and sixteen foot
hay barn above, sided with matched
dressed sheeting, cost us about four
hundred dollars, and one ten feet
longer could be built for five hundred
dollars or less.--George McKerrow. in
