WASHINGTON. Dec. 9--The first business
proposition brought forward in the house
today was a bill by Mr.. Hopkins Of Illinois
. to amend the statute fixing the customs dis
trict Of Chicago so that the district would
embrace all of the states of Illinois and
Indiana. Mr.. Hopkins explained that the
bill was in the interest Of the smeters OF

Christmas Decorations.

HOW TO EFFECTIVELY DRESS YOUR
CHURCH IN HOLIDAY GREENS.
Ehen Z. Rexford contributes an article
upon Christmas decorations, mainly as APP
piled to churches, in the December Ladies'
Home Journal. He treats the subject
from the standpoint of one having a
thorough knowledge Of the value and ap-
plication of different shrubbery and ma
terial, and pronounced talent for obtain
ing harmonious, artistic and striking re-
suits. He details comprehensively the
different materials that can be used, and
how best employed. outlining number of
decorative scenes. Address, himself
directly to church decoration committees,
he emp hasizes the importance Of thorough
ly planning the decorative scheme before
anything is done about trimming the
church. ''Uniess this is done the result
is almost sure to be unsatisfactory, be-
cause it is without definite plan, and
everything is done in haphazard wav
Always decide upon some scheme Of deco
ration that can be explained to those with
whom you work, 50 that all will have an
intelligent idea of it, and can work toward
the embodiment of that idea in what is
done. If possible, have a sketch made Of
the effect you have in mind, so that bet
ter idea can be gained of the scheme de-
cided on than can be given by verbal
description. Not only does this insure
more artistic results than the method us
ually employed, which is simply without
method, but it helps toexpedite matters. -

A Deluded Duck Hunter.

Our Saturday Cove correspondent says
ga young man we'll known here came up
from Rockland recently for little recreation
in the cunning line. Having made quite a
circuit through the woods without seeing a
sign Of anything he came out on the shore at
Little Harbor, and crept silently and care
fully over the rocks and seaweed in expec-
tation Of seeing, perhaps, some wild geese
or ducks playing in the harbor. Having
reached shelter behind large rock he
watched and searched every nook and cor
ner where it would be supposed they might
be, and at last was rewarded by the sight of a
duck floating easily over the gentle ripples
of the harbor. Taking careful aim he fired,
but somehow the duck did not seem to
mind the shot at all, but kept right there.
HeIfred again, and still the duck manifest
ed the same unconcern. He was sure
each discharge had taken effect, but
"why in-Calais- it flop over or
something" he murmured to himself.
'I'll bet you will move this time!" so he
fred again, but the duck kept bobbing Sc
renely on the waves as though nothing had
happened. Getting desperate the young
man crawled nearer the edge Of the water,
and for fear it might get away let 60 again
another charge. He was sure he had hit it
this time, for it jumped almost out Of the
water, but it settled back again into its old
position. "Well, that heats me, he thought,
"but I'll find out about it, and he did, and
a more wrathful young man never came
from Rockland than he, for when he became
fully conscious that he had wasted four
charges Of shot and powder on blasted de-
coy duck, made out of a chunk of wood and
tied to a codline, he grew furious, and hur-
riedly left the place, heaping some hard
sounding adjectives upon the person who
was mean enough to play trick like that
when ducks are so scarce, and a fellow has
t. 60 so far to find one. He went home the
next day, but whether his friends know the
luck he had in shooting duck at Little Har-
Dor, we cannot tell but probably they will
hear about it, and then will pity poor Fred. y

A Practical Stable,

THAT OF NJ ]. DOW, ESQ, AT BROOKS.
In recent visit to Brooks journal rep
resentative was shown through the new sta
Bile recently built by NJ. J. Dow, Esq. The
building is two stories in height, with a
handsome cupola for ventilation, and is 2Sx
80 feet on the floor. Its plan is highly prac-
tical throughout and there are many new
and valuable features about the construc-
ton The basement is very solidly built,
and the cellar floor is of cement. The main
cellar is to be used for storing wood, for
and we'll ventilated. About one-third Of the
cellar is parttioned off for manure shed
and hog pen, which is divided from the main
cellar by partition of stone and wood, hav
ing closely fitting doors. The floor is Of
cement, and wall of cut granite, 5 feet high,
laid in cement, extends all around it. In
one corner is raised platform of wood on
which are the troughs, thus keeping the
feeding arrangements clean. The pen can
be thoroughly ventilated, both by the win
dows and by pipes leading to the roof.
On the ground floor are three roomy stalls
with modern improvements and one box
stall. The hay is fed down as usual in front
of the horses and spout discharges near the
stalls for the passage Of straw from the floor
above. The cutters and scuttlecovers in
the floor are Of iron and there are iron tool
hooks near the stalls. The carriage room is
on this floor, and as the upper floors are sup
ported by truss beams, the floor is open and
free from posts or partitions. In the corner
near the entrance is a harness closet with
hooks ard shelves enough for all needs in
this line.
scuttle large enough to take up bale of
hay leads to the hay loft, and strong beams
and tackle and fall provide the means for
putting up that or other large articles. A
load Of loose hay can be driven into the
floor and pitched up through this scuttle.
The arrangement of the hay and straw stacks
on this floor are such that they are easily ac-
cessible and yet do not interfere with the
scuttles either for getting the hay up or
down. Flights Of stairs of easy runs connect
all the floors.
Another essential point is the connection
with the house. While the passage between
the house and stable is short and under
cover, an ingenious arrangement of venti-
lation prevents any stable odors from get
ting into the house. In fact, the building and
all its appurtenances are planned with refer
ence not only to the comfort and health of
animals, but also as to economy Of time and
la Dor in caring for them and the health OF
the human beings in the house. III the con-
ditions seem to have been met to good de-
gree.

Newspaper Notes.

No man is too poor to take his news aper,
says an exchange, and it is false economy to
get along without it. Hardly week passes
that something does not appear in it's col
umns that will be great benefit to the sub
scriber and by the end of the year he has
made or saved from one to twenty times
its subscription price. The city papers do
not take the place Of a local paper, although
some people think they do. They are good
in their way, but they don't give what you
are most interested in, your local and coun-
ty news. You cannot learn from them when
public meetings are to be, who are dying or
who are marrying, who are moving out,
court proceedings, who want to sell land, in
fact, hundreds of items which might be Of
particular Importance for you to know.
Such matter city papers cannot furnish,
but your local paper can and does.

Hon. Y. 3. reed ana the 67tn CONGRESS.

It is indeed hard to realize that when
Mr.. Reed put through the rules which
have come to be known by his name he
was not only denounced furiously as
''czar," as ''tyrant," as what not, but
that the minority took the unusual step Of
refusing to join in the customary vote Of
thanks to him when he left the Speaker
ship. The subsequent actions Of his OPP
ponents we're his final vindication, as well
as the most severe condemnation of what
they themselves had done. The Reed
rules represented the mere application of
common sense, courage, and honesty to
parliamentary procedure. So evident did
this become that his very opponents
while still II power we're themselves fore
ed to adopt his rules, and the people, by
an overwhelming majority, undid the
wrong they had done and replaced him as
Speaker; only in a position far more
secure and far more triumphant than
when he had first held the chair, for he
had back of him an enormously increased
majority. There have been times when
statesman has triumphed after defeat be-
cause he himself has changed; but in this
case it is not Reed who has changed-it is
the popular feeling. His position remains
unaltered. He consistently maintained
the righteousness and justice of his pro-
ceedings, and his bitter political enemies
were forced by the hard logic of events to
acknowledge that they bad been wrong and
that he had been right. Rarely in the
history Of American politics has any
American statesman received 50 dramati-
cally complete vindication. Hon. The
odore Roosevelt, in the December Forum.

Washington, Dec. g. There is no other
portion of the Presidents message that SO
much excites the indignation of the Re-
publicans as a brief and contemptuous
criticism of the Mckinley tariff which is
contained in the one sentence that he de-
votes to the whole tariff question. In the
compass of that one sentence the Presi-
dent makes two statements which are
either the result of ignorance, or are in
tentionally misleading. He says:

ton and benefit of favored classes at the
expense of the great mass Of our country
men, and which, while inefficient for the
purpose of revenue, curtailed orr trade

ed by tariff policy which in principle is
based upon denial of the right of the
Government to obstruct the avenues Of

comfort and contentment for the sake of

GROSSLY INACCURATE.

One would suppose that a President in
an official document Of such Importance
as message to the Congress of the United
States would desire to be accurate. But
in this statement Mr.. Cleveland not only
departs from absolute accuracy, but is as
grossly inaccurate as words could posi-
bly, render him. The Mckinley Tariff
act, which he assumes to have been set
aside by command of the people, was not
inefficient for the purpose Of revenue
nor had it 'curtailed our trade relations
and impeded our entrance to the markets
Of the world" when that command
was issued. On the contrary, in the 25
months which it had been in operation
when the command was issued, it had
produced the handsome surplus Of over
S3S, 600, 600, and under it our commerce
with other parts Of the world was greater
than in any other period in the entire his
tory of the country.
