son Harmon, in his law practice in Ohio,
was Mr.. Clevelsnd's attorney in q suit
for the recovery Of hundreds Of thou
sands Of railway securities, and it is q
curious fact that three suits are pending
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission against railroads in which Mr..
Cleveland is large stockholder. When
Cleveland sent the army against Eugene
V. Debs he was protecting" property in
which he was himself a stOckholder.
Another curious development concern
ing Mr.. Cleveland is his transmission Of
large sums abroad, not by letter Of credit,
but in money. He has credits with the
house OF Rothschild and with Morton,
Rose & Co., London. Gov. Levi P. Nor
ton is head Of the latter firm. Mr.. Cleve-
land is said to have determined to make
q tour Of the world, and he can we'll sf-
ford it, but now, it seems, that tour has
been abandoned. But what about the
RothsChild and Morton, Rose & Co. &C.
counts? They are active accounts. 1t
is hinted that Mr.. Cleveland will pur-
chase British securities before long. The
most glaring indelicacy in Mr.. Cleveland,
however, ia his connection with the Read
ing reorganization scheme, back Of which
is j. Pierpont Morgan. When Clsve-
lands holdings were known to be repre-
sented in the Joint Traffic Association
there was consider able quiet wonder in
financial circles, because j. Pierpont
Morgan is back Of that clique OF tinsn-
clars who affect to know nothing Of the
doings Of that association, while know
ing all about them. Mr.. J. Pierpont
Morgan is likewise President Of the

there has grown up a sort Of intimacy

as to be handy and save as much labor
as possible. I think these points arc
attained in the following plan, and q
look at the diagram viii be sufficient to
prove 1t.
For 20 cows would extend the length
of the building, and for greater num-
ber l would build IN the opposite direc-
ton from silo. The cutter sets on the
floor, up level with frame on wagon,
making 1t easy to unload the heavy
corn.
You ask what all this has to do with
the producing of milk. Well, you can't
produce much milk in winter without
good winter quarters. Though they
need not be expensive, they must be
warm, and IL really handy, one man
can care for twice as many cows, and
thus make the product cheaper.
The double lines in diagram represent
double walls made as the walls Of a
house, and filled with cut straw or saw
dust. would have foundation of brick,
if able; II not, / would set walls on
square logs laid right on the ground,
but set the frame on without mailing
to logs, 80 they may be easily replaced
when rotten. Put the lining on like
house weatherboarding, inverted, so as
to run the leaking dust into the wall.
Cement floors are as cheap as planed
and much better. would have win
dow 24x36 inches behind each two
stalls; II in cold climate, have double
sash on hinges, SO you can throw
manure out in shed. Also in front
larger window to same space, with cur
tain to regulate the light. Between
stalls use two little posts, one Is inches
from manger and the other II inches
from that. They are made Of 2x4 stuG
and are "a and "a inches respectively;
this makes the best stall ever saw.
The hay carrier and track can be
moved from loft to feed alley and made
to carry a large box Of feed along the
alley to managers, which is great con-
venience. We have room for about all
the different kinds Of hay, ensilage and
ground grain.

Cost Of European Roads.

In England the first cost Of making
highway is estimated at $4,000 per mile;
in France it is $4,000 and in Italy $4,000
per mile. The principal item Of cost in
England arises from the necessary pur-
chase of property; in the mountain dis
tricts of France from the nature Of the
country through which the road runs.

Kentucky was one of the early west
ern states to take an active interest In
road-making. It was the policy Of the
state to cooperate with its minor polit-
ical divisions in the construction Of
roads, and many years ago corps Of
engineers set to work to lay of roads in
al parts Of the Blue Grags state.

How to HOUss COwS So They WIN Pay

I win first quote the golden rule Of
dairying: Make the cow thoroughly
comfortable by keeping her warm and
satisfied with good food and pure wa
ter, and keep her clean and give her
exercise. The man with only three
or four cows can fix a warm place in or
about his barn. But I viii give plan
for ten cows which can be reduced for
n smaller number or enlarged as much
as desired, and yet be very handy and
economical.

Vest Pocket Shawl Strap.

A little novelty just placed on
the market is a vest pocket shawl
strap. 1t consists of two stout cords
run through strip of colored
canvas. One end of each card holds
an angled bit of metal through
which the other end is slipped
after encircling the bundle, and a
firm grip is taken at once ON the
cord without any further ceremony
1t can be instantly released OF
frightened. A feature of this little
contrivance is that the canvas can
be twisted around the bicycle head
and it serves excellently as bicycle
bundle carrier. When not in use
it rolls up into a bundle as big as
ones thumb.

A GREAT DESERT.
Plans to Lessen the Dancer of the Great
BIojave Waste.

Plans to Lessen the Dan of the Great
BIojave Waste.
The great Mojaye desert is no longer
to be a trackless waste. The loss of
hapless prospectors who have persisted
from year to year has finally moved
the board Of supervisors of San Eer-
nardino county, which includes within
it 10000 square miles of this desert,
to take some action to make it posi-
BILE for prospectors to travel that arid
region in comparative safety.
Recently a number of mining men
petitioned that complete map of the
desert be made, showing the roads,
trails and sources of water supply, and
a committee was ordered to investigate
and report. The result of their investi-
cations has just been made public and
they recommend all that was asked and
more. There are trails and roads lead
ing all over the desert to the various
mining camps which dot that waste of
sand, and it is proposed to have maps
made, with blueprint copies, which
will be supplied to desert travellers,
with all the landmarks designated, thus
enabling them to follow the trails with
much less danger of losing their way.
But in addition it is proposed to estab-
fish a system of signboards and guide
posts at intervals along the trail, giving
information as to directions and dis
tances. and. more important than all,
the nearest point where water may be
found. Nine-tenths of the people lost
in the desert die of thirst.
Not infrequently their bleached
homes have been found within a short
distance of the spring they sought By
the new system which is planned the
unlucky prospector will know how far
he is from water and will lay his plans
accordingly.
Rewards are to be offered TO anyone
discovering new springs or developing
any water at points where none is
known to exist. Springs already known
will be cleaned out and the water pro-
tected from pollution by wild animals
or by careless handling.
The mining men are intensely inter-
ested in the proposed innovation. 1t
is estimated that in the 80 years in
which mining has been followed in the
desert not less than $50 ,00O, 900 has been
taken out, while in that time scores
of men have been lost whose lives
might have been saved had such sys-
TEN been in vogue as is now proposed.
The desert is now fairly swarming with
prospectors, and others will go out as
soon as the weather becomes more toll
erable.-San Francisco Examiner.

While black hosiery seems ia
have lost none of it's popularity,
there is a decided leaning toward
colors, especially in the style known
as boot hose. There are novelties
in black, however, among which
are extra length hose with soft,
elastic tops gored out so as to fit in
the most comfortable fashion. Very
long stockings have been objected
to because they were too tight at
the top, but the new "Fhree Grown
Wide Top Blacks" are unquestion-
ably the best hose ever presented
TO the public. They are a decided
novelty, and when once they are
tried by ladies, especially those
who ride the wheel, they will be
found most desirable, and are al
most certain to become necessity.

Skirts Decrease in Size.

The great number of long wraps
being designed and made this spring
point to decided decrease in the
size of skirts. That this is so all
the spring travelling dresses already
prove, They are cut on about the
same principle, except that all the
front godets are omitted and those
on the sides as well, leaving three,
or at most four, godets behind. In
stead of being hung to fire out in
front, the new skirts hang straight
down and closer to the figure, show

dollars, let 'em come; we can stand
it as long as they can. In short we
are the richest and greatest nation
on earth, whenever we put out our
hand and take Shylock's fingers
from our throat and the jews hand
out of our pockets; and the farmer
is dumb as an oyster and stands in
the sunshine of his own prosperity,
that doesn't go in for the remone-
tization of silver, seven days in the
week.
The dumping" of silver from
other countries onto us if our minis
were open is a foolish story. There
is not more than five millions of free
silver bullion in Europe it is esti-
mated. The rest is in the form of
money and manufactured into var
ious articles for which silver is used.
The silver money of the countries
to which it belongs is worth in pur-
chasing power as much as gold, as
our silver is, or else there is no gold
in circulation. That fact is a guar
antee that no silver would come to
us from Europe, but the same
quantity would continue to go from
this country to other lands.
The jealousy which the goldites
attempt to create by telling the
people that the mine owners would
sell their silver for fifty cents more
than the market price, and be ben
Gifted greatly at other peoples ex-
pense, is false as it is mean. The
farmers would be benefited four
hundred times as much by the re-
monetization of silver as the mine
owners. The wheat product alone
of the country amounts to 400 mil
lion bushels, fifty cent rise per
bushel would put into the farmers
pockets on this one crop about 200
million dollars. The silver mine
owners would be profited, perhaps
40 millions.

Marrow toed shoes still prevail
although there seems to be a re-
action in favor of a little broader
style. Indeed, there are many
persons who have never adapted
the very pointed ones. They have
preferred q medium width, and in
this, as in all other matters of dress,
find conservatism much more de-
sirable than extreme measures OF
any kind.
Spring hats are shown in almost
endless variety. There are all
shapes from the aggressive looking
poke to the tiny bonnet that is
scarcely larger than a skull cap.
Among the popular styles are those
with medium width brims and
rather low crowns, although the
high crown slightly curving is
liked by many.
The soft gray felt hats affected
by the men during the past winter
are worn in smaller duplicate by
the athletic girl who is fond of long
walks out on the country roads.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
COMFORTABLE KITCHENS.
What They Will Be When Women
Architects Have Them i'm Control

w
Architects Have Them i'm Control.
When women are more generally
architects, kitchens will be things
of beauty and comfort. Walls will
tiled at least half way up, so that
smoke, scattering grease and other
kitchen ills will be powerless to
spoil them. Floors will be tiled
and easy to clean. Sinks will be
high enough to prevent broken
backs, says the New York World.
Kitchen closets will have glass
doors through which their contents
may be readily noted. Aluminium
cooking utensils will take a touch
of brightness to the scene, and al
together the kitchen will be a
delightful spot.
In the meantime, even the ordi-
nary kitchen may be made more
habitable by a little care. Limo
leum, which is easily washed, may
cover the floor, and the wall may
be covered with linoleum also, so
that they may be readily wiped of
when they are soiled.
Sink closets may be abolished
and the tendency on the part of the
servants to use them as refuse tins
successfully overcome. The kitchen
table may be covered with tin,
neatly tackled under the edges, and
the kitchen labors lightened to that
extent.
Glass door cupboards may be
used. A book shelf which con-
tains few cookery books viii help
the cooks memory and IL rush
seated rocking chair and hassock
will tend to her comfort.

Shepherd check fabrics in silk
appear not only in black and white,
cream and brown, blue and gray,
etc., but in every variety of color,
on light Lued grounds. Over them
to impart additional attractiveness,
is often thrown short weave OF
another color entirely, making three
distinct tints in one material. A
cream and mauye check shot family
with pale gold forms a pretty
Easter gown trimmed with ecru
guipure lace, with stock collar of
violet velvet overlaid with ecru in
sertion en- applique. Although
the checks are small, and the
designs not conspicuous, they are
not found becoming to women at all
inclined to stoutness. Stripes in
half-inch or hair lines are prefer
able, and some of the most lady
like and delicate summer silks and
Liberty satins are woven in these
designs in qualities that range in
price from IS cents to $1.25 yard.
