wall Is entirely built of split granite,
the entrance being under the driveway
to the main floor at the east end. The
frame, says the Orange Judd Farmer,
Is one of the best pieces of work OF Its
kind ever put together on farm, and
was designed by Mr.. Parsons, who
made the working plans, laid out the
work, and personally superintendent
its construction. The frame Is sup
ported throughout by iron rods and
bolts; there are no mortises to the
frame with the exception Of the plates,
which are mortised to the posts. In
the base of the tower is water tank
having capacity of 5000 gallons. This
tank is filed, by means Of windmill
force pump, from the river, and stand
pipe is supplied with fire hose.
Thoroughly built in every detail, this
barn Is also well furnished In every
particular. Water is supplied to the
managers Of the cow barn and to the
horse stable. Patent adjustable STAN
cheons are provided, and the latest hay
fork and carrier. Great attention has
been paid to ventilation, which is re-
garded as very nearly or quite perfect

II will behoove the American mer-
chant to take advantage to the utmost
OF the commercial features OF the treaty
between japan and China. 1t Il In
comprehensive that the markets which
have been opened for many years have
been SO neglected by American mer-
chants. But 1t viii he folly to neglect
to seize the opportunity Afforded by an
extension of commercial privileges In
China. We buy from japan $4,000 900
worth OF goods a year and sell her ST.
100000. What reason Is there for this
tremendous disparity? DO we not pro-
duce the things which Japan needs and
which she buys-from England? Why
should we send $15,OO0,O0O every year
more thanewe get In return? The fig
ures regarding China are not so bad.
We export to China $10,O00,OO0 and i'm
port 2O.O0O.O00. an adverse difference
OF $4OOO.OOO. With the opening Of
China TO the commerce of the world 1t
would seem that the merchants Of this
country could make better showing.
England makes a showing that causes
the American merchants mouth to wa
ter She exports to China $105, O00, 900
worth of goods every year, of which
$25,O0O.00 are cotton goods. She ex-
ports to Japan $27, 100000. of which
81. 1917 900 are cotton goods. That Is,
England sends to China every year So
100000 more of cotton goods than the
aggregate OF our entire exports to that
country. Her exports Of cotton goods
to japan just about equal the total
American exports to that country. Why
should England enjoy such a tremen-
dous trade in cotton goods? Does
America produce no cotton? Are there
no factories where the cotton Is made
into fabrics? Cotton is king. Have
American merchants and manufacture
ers gone to sleep? 1t is time for them
to wake up.

SMOOTH-BORE GUNS NOW.
How 1t Ia Proposed to Reduce IL
Cost of Great Cannon.

How 1t Ia Proposed to Reduce the
Cost of Great Cannon.
The very heavy cost of modern guns
is largely due to the time and labor
which are necessarily expended upon
the operation Of rifiing them. 1t is al
most impossible so to make the gun
and the projectile that the soft driving
Of discharge, accurately fit into the
grooves and lands of the bore and al
low no gases to pass ahead. When
these gases do pass ahead Of the pro-
jectile they score and damage the inter-
Tor of the gun; and, where the new
powders are used and the gases Of
combustion attain an enormous degree
Of heat, the process of deterioration,
especially in weapons of large calibre,
is often very rapid. A Swedish engi-
neer, w. Il. Unge, has devised a meth
Cd whereby he hopes to save, not only
the cost Of rifiing, but also the inter-
iOr wear and tear for which ritling is
responsible. He proposes to construct
all guns as smooth bores, and to fit the
projectile with gas checks, which shall
render it practically impossible for any
gases to rush past them.
In order to convey to the projectile
an axial rotary motion, such as is at
present conveyed to it by the action Of
the rifiing, he has invented mechani-
cal arrangement, which, at the instant
OF firing, gives to the gun itself an Az
ial rotary motion. The device con-
sists of n rotary mounted holder con-
tanning the projectile, and a spindle
provided with a bearing in the rear
wall of the casing, by means of which
the rotary movement to the projectile
is exactly the same as is produced by
the constant or increasing twist of an
ordinary rifled gun; and he Is of the
opinion that the adoption of his system,
while giving equal or even improved
accuracy of fire, will reduce the cost
of heavy guns by one-half and add fully
100 per cent, to their endurance.

Craze for Crime Mementos.

Since the assassination of M. Carnot
the cutler at Cette who sold the dag.
ger to the murderers has, It is said,
been inundated with orders for weap-
ons of similar pattern and size to that
used on the fatal night at Lyons. The
orders come from France and from
abroad, somebody in Brussels having
asked for 800 daggers. During the
month following the assassination the
cutler dispatched over 1000 Of these
articles to various places. and he is on
the road to realize a small fortune out
of the extraordinary craze manifested
by his customers, French and foreign
Some of these people intend to exhibit
the blades in their shops or taverns
while others are collectors of curiosi
ties. who want to possess some me-

The Tnrnn1uIa KiIler

1t has bright blue body, nearly two
inches long, and wings of a golden hue.
AS it flies here and there in the sun
light, glittering like a flash of fire, one
moment resting on leaf, the next on
a granite boulder, it keeps up AN in
ccssant buZzing, which is caused by
the vibration Of it's wings. No sooner
does the tarantula hear this than he
trembYes with fear, for well he knows
the fate in store for him when once
his mortal foe perceives his wherea-
bouts. This it soon does, and hastens
10 the attack.
At first it is content with flying in
ually 1t approaches nearer and nearer.
At last, when it Is within few inches,
the tarantula rises upon its hind legs
and attempts to grapple with his foe,
but without success. Like flash the
giant wasp is on its back. The deadly
fangs have been avoided. The next
instant fearful sting penetrates deep
into the spiders body. Its struggles
almost cease. A sudden paralysis
creeps over it, and 1t staggers, helpless,
like drunken man, first to one side,
then to the other
These symptoms, however, are only
of short duration. While they last the
wasp, but few inches away, awaits
the result; nor does 1t have to wait
long. A few seconds and all sign of
life has disappeared from the taran-
tula; the once powerful legs curl up
beneath the body. and it rolls over
dead.-Chambcrs' Monthly.

Few things will raise the ire of the
housewife or kitchen girl quicker than
to be obliged TO burn green wood, or to
endure the evils Of a smoky chimney.
But the chimney affair should be cas-.
lily disposed Of. Most smoky chimneys
are not built to the proper height, and
1t Is usually the kitchen chimney that
falls to give proper draft to the stove,
or discharge the smoke mt the top in a
satisfactory manner. The revolving
patented appliances to be attached to
the top of chimneys do not always give
satisfaction, and to obtain a proper
draught the chimney must often be ex-
tended to the level Of the ridge OF the
main building. This renders In most
cases structure of brick quite imprac-
ticable, hence resort must be had to a
galvanized attachment that any tim
smith will furnish. 1t should set down
over one course or layer Of bricks. Put
it in place some still day, first coating
with mortar the sides of brick to be
covered by the hood, that close joint
may be had. If not more than two

Recent dispatches were somewhat
lurid with the prospects Of an Indian
war on the Nebraska border. Frontier
settlers were reported as abandoning
their farms and fleeing to the towns,
and the Indians We're said to be put
ting on their war paint. This is the
kind of thing that always happens
when the whites are meditating more
than usual bold act of land robbery
against the Indians. Their avaricious
eyes are always fixed upon the posses
siOns Of the red man. All the Indians
in the country are now herded on
reservations sacredly guaranteed to
them by treaty with the government
Over them the Indian is supposed to
roam at pleasure in pursuit of game,
and so long as he keeps within his
boundaries he may do as he pleases.
This Is not at all in consonance with
the ideas of the settler and frontiers
man. In his view the only good Indian
is dead Indian. He has no use for
hunting grounds or cornfields. All
that he requires is little earth, six
feet or so, for his possession. Fixed
there he is safe. Hence these war
scares. As might be imagined in ad-
vance, land company is at the bot
tom of the present trouble. 1t is to be
hoped that the government will take
such hand in the present difficulty
as to see that the Indians obtain JUS
tice. After a century of dishonor we
ought at last to be willing to deal just
ly with this fast disappearing race. We
will have all their lands presently by
Inheritance.

Paint for the Floor.

Take one-third turpentine and two.
thirds boiled linseed oil, with little
Japanese dryer added. Buy can Of
burnt sienna and blend it thoroughly
with this mixture. This gives rich
reddishbrown. Mix the paint quite
thin, SO that it will run readily. Lay
1t on the floor with good-sized brush,
stroking the brush the way Of the grain
of the wood. Put on several coats,
allowing each one to become perfectly
dry. Lastly, give the floor a good coat
Of varnish, and when thoroughly dry
1t will be found as satisfactory as Il
stained floor can be, and easily kept
clean. The varnish gives 1t the APP
pearance Of polished wood. 1t can be
kept in good condition by simply dust
ing and wiping off with an oily cloth.

Tca,p for Country Use.

Choose a fast walking team; or, IL
you own q good young team, teach
them to walk by rarely trotting them.
There is double advantage In rapid
walker, says the Massachusetts, Plough
man. Time Is saved In cultivation and
harvest, and wagons last much longer
when taken at fair rate Of speed such
as seen in rapid walk than IL driven
more rapidly, whether loaded or not.
The slow walking team is made to
bang the wagon at frequent intervals
to make up for the time lost while walk
ing. Many horses can be taught to
walk four miles an hour. Notice the
difference In the bayfield,, whether you
can afford a slow. moping horse. A
free walking horse can easily cultivate
seven acres Of narrow rows I'm day;
many slow walkers will not cover four
acres. Which Is preferable? A fast
walk, II II be steady, will not cover
plants more than a slow walk-ln fact,
It Is not so likely to. because the earth
falls Mt the edge of the furrow mellow
and fine.
