ting lodges to perform the ritual IN
that language has decided to make an
iron clad report for the use OF the

Pythians to make their order a patri-
otto one, and to bend all its influences
to the support Of the institutions Of
our government The constituents Of
the German lodges say that the per
petuation of foreign language IN
the United States Will not tend to
the support Of the institutions OF this
government, and think that foreign
member in the United States should
be Americanized- The German lodges

test went against them It is under

All those saved at Sandstone were
in the river while the cyclone of
flames passed, and only managed to
escape by wading IN the water as far
as possible and then throwing water
over each other's heads. The coming
OF the flames sounded like thunder
and with such rapidity did they
come that the people who lin
gered to save property or
neglected to seek safety in
far as could be learned between forty
and fifty bodies were scattered about
the streets burned to 8 crisp. The

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
1oored; the stone work or the founda-
ton 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 a mystery to US why the farmers
have not, III a general way, cen 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
sto ed; 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

is the floor, one side and ends, with

Hints on Building
This illustration gives q correct
idea Of a country farm barn, which
will interest those who are agricul-
turally inclined. To the farmer it is
one OF the most important things
how he shall house his stock, and
provide storage for his grain, fodder,
etc, and yet do 1t In an economical
manner; and the many farm barns
that are to be seen, with their
chopped up and checkered appear
ance, indicate that this mat er has
not had a proper amount OF study
and forethought. The farmer goes
on and builds little at a 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 a farm, and intend to
be a good farmer. start out with a
determinations 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
