Sanitary Precautions ON the Farm.
1 would have my barns SO construct
ed or remodeled, if need be, that the
rear of the stables, or the manure win
dows therefrom, would open into
small yard, graded to a slightly con
cave form, to prevent teaching from
the manure. Porous soils should be
paved with crushed stone and cement;
in clayey Soils small stones laid close
ly together and we'll bedded in the clay
answer the same purpose. Stable
floors should be water tight with a
concave gutter behind horses and cat
tie to connect with above yard, which
at all times should contain absorbing
material. All animal eXcrement, ex,
cept from the hennery, should be
placed in this yard daily as well. rs
garden rubbish and litter. Road tS1st
can be used to advantage on floors
and in cutters.
AS it exists in many Kitchens, /
would abolish the sink drain. In it's
place fasten to the wall, about two
feet from the floor, a zine lined box
with hinged lid, funnel-shaped, and at
the bottom securely connect we'll

nure yard. The drain joints must be

possible fall. My bath tub drain goes
to the celery trenches. All house Stops
from the kitchen and the chambers are
emptied into the house drain. The

til needed for growing crops.
My sanitary privy consists of zinc
lined drawer of sufficient width and
length to easily slip underneath the
privy from the back. 1t is securely
mounted on a sled with wide runners
to which a horse can be hitched and
every week the contents can be easily
taken to the manure yard or compost
pile. The drawer should be half-filled
with muck or some other absorbent
before placing it underneath the build
ing. Road dust is used over the box

THE MOON BOTHERED JULIET.
A Small Japaneso Boy Held It and Would

A Small Japsneso Boy Held It and Would
Not Go Away.
"While in Japan we went to Tokyo
to play Romeo and Juliet, +" said Mrs.
Potter recently. "We played from 2
o'clock in the morning until O'Clock
in the evening, as the manager demand
ed plays that would last all day, and
when told him that we had none Of
sufficient elasticity he replied that when
it was all ended, wo would start all over
again. Well, we did. Tho manager was
impressed with the necessity Of having
moon, and that Juliet, as near rs pos
sible, should always be kept in the
moonlight.
"Woll, the balcony scene arrived, and
there was no moon, but in the midst of
Romeo's most passionate wooing, which,
SO far as the light OH the stage was con-
cerned, might have taken place at mid
day, the moon suddenly appeared. 1t
was in the form Of q lantern fixed on O
bamboo pole and was swayed before my
face by little Jap who stood beneath
the balcony in full view of tho audience.
Tho audience didn't seem TO mind it in
the least, but it made me very nervous,
and every time Romeo would pour forth
his soul would calculate, Take away
that moon But tho boy was mindful
Of his instructions, that Juliet was al
ways to be III the moonlight, and dur
ing the rest Of tho performance every
time camo on tho stage was pursued
by that awful moon. Nothing could in
duce tho boy to dcsist, and so the moon
held full sway. Rochester. Union and

A FAMOUS EplTAPH.
1t Marks In Poughkeepsie the Grave of "a
Self Exiled Englishman.

1t Marks In Poughkeepsie the Grave OF a
Self Exiled Englishman.
There are some interesting epitaphs in
the old graveyards in Poughkeepsie, but
probably none Of them has been so wide
~ known and admired as that on the
stone which marks the burial place of
John Taylor in front of Christ church,
on Academy street. This epitaph has
been widely published on both sides Of
the ocean, it is said, and is believed to
have been written by the English poet
William Roscoe and sent over for his
friend Taylor's gravestone. Yet the
stone lies neglected, and the last three
lines of the epitaph have been broken
off, probably during the work preceding
the building of the new church. The
epitaph was published in Benson T.
Lossing's book on "Vassar College and
Its Founder" and was greatly admired
and frequently quoted by Matthew Vas
sar, Jr., rs many of his friends remem-
her. The inscription and epitaph on the
stone area as follows:
In this spot
was inferred
John Taylor
Attorney at Law
the eldest son
OF Doctor John Taylor
OF Bolton lie Moors, England,
who died Of the yellow fever
Sept. 18th, 1906.
Aged 90 years.
Far from his kindred friends and native skies
Hero Wondering in tho dust poor Taylor lies
Firm was his mind, and fraught with various
lore
And his mild heart was never cold before.
He lov'd his country. loy'd that spot of earth
Which gave Hampden, Milton, Bradshaw
birth,
But when that country, dead to all but gain,
Bowed her base neck and Rugged the opprccs
or's chain
Loathing the abject scene he dropped and sigh
ed,
Crossed tho wild waves and here untimely
died.
Stranger what'er thy country creed or hue
Go and like him the moral path pursue;
Go, and for Freedom every peril brave
And nobly scorn to be or hold slave.
The last line is one that has heen par
ticularly admired and frequently quoted,
and it is gone from the stone, which is
broken off just after the fourth line
from the end. That this stone should
have been so mutilated seems little short
of vandalism. John Taylor is said to
have come to this country about tho
same time that the Vassar family came,
shortly after the close of the American
Revolution, and at q time when the
English government was REFRESHING all
ontspoken friends of reform in fear of
repetition in England of the French revo-
luton. He was the uncle Of MIR. Hudson
Taylor, and the greatuncle of Mr.. Rob-

CONVENTION OF REPUBLICS.

The movement to mold u convention
Of the republics of North, South and
Central America to take action towards
rsaf1rming the Monroe doctrine. is
meeting with such encouragement that
there Is little doubt that 1t will BIO
held There is said to be disposition
among the representatives of the re-
publics south OF the United States to
accept the Monroe doctrine, but not to
give 1t quite as broad an Interpretation
as Secretary Olney's definition would
seem to imply. By the terms of the
doctrine as oct forth by the Secretary of
State, according to some of these repre-
sentatives, the United States assumes q
protectorate over the other republics, Q
position which they are by no means
willing to occupy.
This mistake will, however, be rome.
died when the convention meets, which
will probably be some time in August
next, when arrangements looking to
cloEer com marcial relations with each
other will also be considered. This is
q great point for the United States to
consider. The manufacturing industries
OF this country have now reached
condition which will soon enable them
to compete with those of any other
country, and; as the supply of manu-
faotured products here Is already
g.e alter than the demand, other outlets
for trade than home market mus. be
io' ked for, The position this country
assumed on the Monroe doctrine ought
20 gain the favor of all the Southern re.
publics. snd other things being equal,
we should have large share OF their
foreign trade. The proposed convention
can do much towards bringing this
about and no doubt all efforts will be
made in that direc ton compatible with
the honor and dignisy of the United
States.
Minister Carlo, OF Ecuador, has re-.
ceived cable dispatch from the secre-
tary of state Of that country to the effect
that the Central American governments
OF Guatemala, Nicaragua. Salvador,
Honduras and Costa RIGA have accepted
the invitation to join in convention of
American republics with view to-
wards unifying them. This, it ia said,
Is the first affirmative action toward the
convention. which is designed to bring
about common understanding of
North, South and Central American
countries on the Monroe doctrine. Senior
Carlo says he has no doubt of the sue.
cess o: the convention, as 1t is respon-
sive TO an universal sentiment among
Latin American countries, and is favor
able to the general upholding OF the
policy enuncisted by the United States
on the Monroe doctrine.

THERE Ia considerable surmise in 20.
litical circles as to what oourHe Ambas-
sador Bsyard will pursue should he be
censured by the HOUSE OF Representa-
tives for his recent speeches in England
and Scotland. 1t was at first reported
hat he would resign should such a
couse be adopted, but later ndvices from
London are to the effect that he declines
to say what he will do until Congress
has acted on the matter. AS the House
Is largely Republican there is hardly
any doubt that resolution of censure
will be adopted by that body. The
Democrats are of course opposed to CEN
surfing him all, although from whit
they have said on the subject 1t Is evil
dentth they do not fully approve some
OF the recent "post prandial" utteranoes
of the ambassador to the court of St.
James. Mr.. Bsyard, himself. no.doubs
by this time has discovered that he
rather overstepped the bounds of pru-
dence on the occasions referred to, and
there Is no danger of a repetition OF the
mistake by any American representa-
tive abroad for some time to come.

FOR FREE COINAGE.

The Senate substitute TO the House
bond bill, which lately passed the first
named body by a vote of 40 to 35, fur
nishes an impressive illustration to the
gold monometalists Of the increasing
strength OF the sentiment for free coins
age, which President Cleveland and
those who agree with him financially
would do we'll to heed. II 10 not ex.
peeted that the amendment will pass
the House, but it is believed the
strength Of silver as developed by the
vote there whom the test comes will be
surprise TO the gold bugs.
The latter have been claiming that
the "silver craze" like the greenbaok
craze Of the seventies will die out with
the arrival of prosperity; but, although
the times have improved, prosperity in
the full sense of the term is slow in COM
ing. while In the meantime, silver as s
standard OF value is steadily growing In
favor. The artificial method Of main
tanning the gold reserve by increasing
the debt CT the nation ia disgusting
everybody. ard sooner or later silver
must take its place ia this country
alongside Of gold as q money metal.
The Serate amendment in brief is as
follows: 1t authorizes the free coinage
OF silver on basis Of 16 to of gold and
the issue of silver certificates against
the silver dollars thus provided for; also
the coinage of the bullion bought I'M
der the Sherman act and the issue Of
certificates against it at once; requires
national banks to cease issuing notes
below SlO; requires the redemption of
greenbacks and Sherman notes in silver
or gold, at the option OF the Govern
ment, and their reissue perpetually.
