One of, the most disastrous fires

A new book of 135 pages by Marvin Warren.
BY irresistible facts and logic it shows clearly
that the natural and easy way of maintaining
forever the parity of all gold, silver and paper
money is to make them equally legal tender,
but not redeemable in each other nor in any
thing but government dues.
The author holds that our financial and in
dustrial woes come chiefly from the present
system of coin redemption, and he points out a
way to speedy relief.
The measures proposed in this book are the
logical outcome of the principles of the Peoples
Party, and the rapid circulation of this book
will be OF immense service in uniting the
scattered forces of the party, and in making new
converts everywhere.
The retail price of MONEY CHART is 25 cents
We have special arrangement with the publish
ers by which we can furnish our subscribers the
book for 10 cents.

Miss Braddon,s Double Handednes,

TO have two different kinds of hand
writing is curious. The Academy says
Miss Braddon has two distinct hand
writings, one for correspondence and
the ordinary business of life and the
other for her novels. This latter is q
backward hand, smaller, heater and
clearer than the other. The neatness OF
her manuscript is an important point
in Miss Braddon's eyes, and it makes
her unhappy to produce an unsightly
page. She makes very few corrections,
sometimes, indeed, scarcely one i'll Il
page. With all this, the speed at which
she writes is considerable When things
go we'll with her, she produces Oh an
average three closely written pages of
manuscript-that is, say, about 1000
words-in an hour ~

Not to he Cheated.

Time was when there was only one
chaisc in the town of Mechanic Falls,
and that one belonged to an old man CT
somewhat eccentric ways
One day u young man wanted to hire
the chaiso to take his best girl to ride.
The owner agreed, but nothing was said
about the price Toward nightfall the
young man brought the chaise back.
How much is the damage?" he asked.
"Where'd ye go:" returned the old
man.
The young man named the place
"How far do you call that?"
"Twelve miles. -
"Nope, " said the old man, it's only
ten.

and I've been over it times enough to
know. ~

Never mind how far it is, criet;
the young man. You tell mo how

sane Advice to Young Artists.

Don't give in" was about tho sist
of what Sir Wyke Bayliss said to the
English art students in a lecture at tho
South Kensington museum. He told
them what ought to be their watchword
"Do not believe, he said, in tho in
sidious lie that tho devil is always
whispering to the soul of tho artist
that tho golden age of art is past and
that what was done yesterday cannot be
done today, for art is in its decadence
Such an assertion was the danger of the
time and he would have them track it
to its source and kill it there. 1t had
two forms-despondency and tempta-
tion-but he urged them not to be in
fluenced by either Let their study be
based upon knowledge, tho knowledge
that had accumulated during the ages
and was formulated i'll what was known
as academic training, and lot their
knowledge in turn be based upon their
own study. "
Certainly that is the best of advice,
for what has been done before can be
done again.

MODERN CHICKEN CoOPS.
The Once Familiar Laths Have Given Way
to yNire Netting.

Men whose memories go back, say,
40 years will remember that i'll those
DAYS when Il man wanted to build q
chicken coop he bought bundle or two
of laths aud built it. There arc mighty
few lath chicken coops built nowadays.
Even tho smallest chicken raiser, who
keeps few i'll his back yard, makes his
coop or runway of poultry netting The
chicken house, or sholtor, is made OF
boards, often of two thiclmesses and
with tsured paper between, for better
protection from tho weather, and with
openings at tho bottom and under tho
projecting roof for ventilation.
Laths were cheap; poultry netting is
still cheaper. 1t is made of steel wire,
galvanized, in various widths and in
various sizes of mesh. The netting most
commonly used is six feet wide, with a
two inch mesh The chicken raiser sets
up frame and tacls the netting to it.
Narrow MEETINGS Of smaller mesh are
used in various ways to keep in little
chicks-sometimeS q foot wide small
mesh netting to run around Mt the base
of the Enclosure, the regular netting
being set above it, thus increasing the
total height of the netting. Sometimes
the small mesh netting is run around
inside of the regular netting, thus max
ing the lower part of the netting double.
Sometimes it is used to make separate
small Enclosures within the large run
way and perhaps to make number of
small Enclosures to keep separate broods
of chicks apart. Tho marrow, small
mesh netting is made up to three and Il
half feet i'll width.
There is nowadays use for wiro net
ting in chicken houses A netting with
q square mesh is laid on the floor of
chicken houses to keep out rnts and
mice.
There are now many large establish
ments in this country for the raising of
chickens for commercial purposes, for
market and for breeding, and there are
as many men rs ever who raise chickens
at home, from the many who keep q
few in tho back yard, with simple
chicken house and coop, to men who
raise many chickens and maintain an
elaborate plant for their breeding and
keeping. But under whatever conditions
they are raised, chickens are rarely seen
nowadays in coops made of laths, such
as were familiar 40 years ago.-New

AN ECLIPSE OF THE SUN.

Mrs. Mabel Loomis Todd, writing in

junks blended in colorlessness, but
