The steamer Primrose of West Hartle-
pool, has been lost off the coast of Corn
wall, Eng. The steamer was proceeding
along that coast in dense fog when
she struck rock. A large hole was torn
in her bottom and as she began to fill
she slid off the rock into deep water and
sank. The crew took to small boats
reaching the shore safely.

whipping, bucking and gagglng, tying
up by the thumbs and various other
methods of barbarous torture. The
actual experience of the last thirty
years has demonstrated that discipline
can be maintained without the infic-
ton of such punishments. The older
method was to drill the soldier into a
mechanical machine, caring little or
nothing about his individual intelli-
gence, out under more modern tactics
and with improved firearms this
mechanical perfection is not SO es-
sential as formerly.
The old ramrod stiffness of the sol

for generation pinned to the seams OF
his trousers, has at last acquired a nat
ural swing. More careful study of
military ethics has demonstrated the
use essless as well as the barbarity of
laying every man n Procrustean bed
and requiring the same exactitude
from the loose-jointed and conn actly
built. At the same time long and
careful training is necessary to the
making of good soldiery. Once c

is put into his hands, he is ready to
cry "Vive la France" ready to march
beneath the tri-color flag wherever he
is led, but it is very fallacious idea
to think that a soldier can be made
simply by dressing man in uniform
and putting musket IN his hands.
The shoulder-to-shoulder courage
that comes OF discipline is indispensa-
BILE, but it must yield precedence to
that courage which comes OF intelli-
gence, self-reliance, and of perfect
knowledge OF the use of weapons, and
what the individual must do to protect
himself while inficting the greatest
possible damage upon the enemy. In
this intelligence the national guard is

Sheridan's opinion of the militia was
that in time of war it would prove
itself the equal of any trained soldiers.
The national guard has done much

manner; and the many farm barns
that are to be seen, with their
chopped up and checkered appear
ance, indicate that this matter has
not had a proper amount Of study
and forethought. The farmer goes
on and builds little at time, never
thinking or looking far enough ahead
to know what his wants really may
be when his farm is being worked to
it's proper capacity.
If you own farm, and intend to
be good farmer start out with a
determination to have only suitable
farm buildings, such as will look well
from your neighbours house. Let
your barns look like barns, your
houses like houses. We would not
for anything have your barns be mis-
taken for houses, or your houses for
barns; for such things we have
seen, and it makes us feel
as if there was a screw loose
somewhere. Barns should not
be built for show. They should, Of
course, be made to look well, and be
pleasant spots in the landscape, and
built in the most substantial manner
possible-should be arranged to save
as much labor as possible in the care
of the animals that are to be housed
and fed in them. Let them be well
ventilated and lighted, properly
tloored; the stone work of the founda-
tion thoroughly built, not dry, but
laid up in good cement mortar.
Don't invite the rats, as they will
cone without And it has always
been mystery to us why the farmers
have not, in a general way, been wide
awake enough to their own interests
to properly house their fowls, instead
of letting them run wild over the
whole place, and letting them roost
on wagons, carts and agricultural
implements when not in use and
stored to- let them lay their eggs
where they please, and then have the
pleasure (?) of hunting for them, and
often finding them at a late day
such certainly must be the case, else
why so many bad eggs among those
mice fresh country eggs" Chickens
are one of the most prof table ad-
juncts to any farm, and it is very
easy matter to keep them where
there is number of cattle to feed.
The hennery here shown was car
ried out as an addition to barn at a
hillside farm, and shows what a we'll
regulated hennery should be to make
it both pleasure and a profit. AS
the shed below is a necessity in con-
nection with barn, and roof indis-
pensable. the only additional expense
is the floor, one side and ends, with
interior fittings, to make a hennery
which will accommodate easily enc
hundred to two hundred. The floor
should be tightly boarded, then COW

care of itself, by constructing the
bottom SO as to empty into a small
trough into hennery, in front. of
which is placed perch; the chicks
to feed in space adjoining marked
chickens, which is inclosed by pick
cts, open enough for them to run
through. Nest boxes are arranged in
tiers, one above another, and loose,
SO they can be taken through into
restroom, and emptied, and for set
ting hens, turned around and fed
from restroom. The fattening room
is arranged so as to be darker, and
will be found desirable for fatten-
ing poultry for market or home con-
sumption. A running stream of water
should be so arranged as to always
supply fresh water in the henn cry,
and which should be had in barn for
cattle. This could, as in this case,
be brought in a pipe from a spring in
the hillside, short distance above
the barn, and which not only sup
plies the barn but the house with a
neyer-failing supply of clear spring
water. The run from hennery is so
arranged that fowls can be either let
into shed or directly out of doors.
Tn S run, being hinged on top, and
operated by weights and a cord, is
controlled from feed room, thus COM
pletely shutting off the hennery from
floor below when required.
The arrangement of stalls as here
shown, is convenient, and cannot fail
but be suggestive for those interested
in such matters, while the conyen
fence above cannot fail to please, as
the facilities for driving right in
with load from either side is what
should always be had in barn Of
this class. This barn is, of course,
capable of many changes to suit indi-
vidual wants, circumstances and To-

volunteer militia and the State guard
or State national guard. The organ
lied militia of the United States is a
little over 1000 men. while the UNI
organized is over 100000.
The requirements for enlistment in
the organized militia may be stated as
only those male citizens between the
ages of Is and 45, except certain ones
exempted by law. The exemptions
may be briefly stated as those serving
in the army and navy of the United
States, those physically disqualified
and those belonging to religious de-
nominations having an article of faith
prohibiting the performance Of mill
tary duty. Persons are in some State
exempted by service in the late war or
for certain length of service in the
national guard.

call for recruits to fill the companies to
their maximum strength Or to form
new companies. In case these volun-
teers are insufficient, he may draft

every one under the law liable to mill

The strength of the national guard

Lion and Horse.

If lion and strong horse were
to pull in opposite directions, the
horse would pull the lion backward
with comparative ease; but if lion
were hitched behind the horse and
facing in the same direction, and
were allowed to exert his strength in
backing, he could easily pull the
horse down upon his launches or
drag him across the ring, SO much
greater is his strength when exerted
backward from the hind legs than in
forward pulling.

Wild geese and wild ducks show
knowledge as to the resistance Of the
