A GOOD COW STALL.

blocked out two-thirds of its width and
let in on each post, which will serve as
stay or brace when drawing the wires.
The tie-chain plays on a vertical five
eighths-ineh iron rod, which runs from
the horizontal scantling to the bottom
of the trough, one-half inch from wires,
and is fastened with staple at top. and
anger hole at bottom. This is much
better than fastening at side of stall
The COW can lie on either side, can lick
herself, or lie with her head on her side
and still be unable to get far from her
proper place.
The best fastening is a strap left per-
manently about the cows neck with
ring sewed on strap. Then with a snap
on the end of chain, one can fasten or
unfasten the cows from the adjoining
stall.
In fastening by this device we should
step into the adjoining stall, reach over
and turn the neck strap until the ring,
which is sewed fast, comes on top of
the neck, then reach out and take the
chain from over one of the middle wires
(where il should always be left when
turning out the cattle) and snap into
the ring on collar.
While this figure is somewhat out of
proportion the dimensions are correct,
for an ordinary Jersey COW. The I'M

a WOMAES LAUGHTER.
II Is More Like ChiId's Than n
Mans.


Mans.
Women do not, as a rule, laugh at
jokes. They generally laugh to reward
the teller of good thing, and not for
mirth at the thing told. In this way a
woman fulfills most definite duty, for
she laughs even when the story does not
come off well. Her laugh would not be
so temperate or so punctual if it de-
pended upon n sense of humor. 1t is
somewhat between a child's laughter
and a mans, but most like a child's.
At almost every stage of his early years
a child laughs for mere movement, and
not for comedy or dersion at all. A
little humor there may be in the earlier
sense of the word. He laughs at the
humors and antics of rather elder or
rather more enterprising child; but al
ways from gayety and for interior rea-
sons of Astounding breath and blood.
Granted that a woman has a small
sense of humor, she still owes her laugh
to the humorists-eyen to the unsuc-
cessful. 1t is a positive debt. If she
were held to the duty of criticism it
would be otherwise; but, as it IS, she is
committed TO nothing. Her laugh is
no evidence in the connection of humor
and wit, and it is but just that III this,
too, public opinion should relieve her of
responsibility. For nothing but an eX-
pected silence or a half-hearted smile
should be held really answerable. If
she were to enter upon the way of criti-
cism she would be more or less unready,
it might be necessary to explain things
10 her, which confessedly would be very
dull.
Besides, the laugh of judgment and
criticism is apt to be, on fit occasion,
also a laugh too much from the heart;
it takes deeper tones, and is no longer
the treble note, undrowned. No; men
who invent the jokes may laugh at them
the open laugh of Appreciation; women,
If they would be kind, must be more inn
partial.
feminine laugh, too. has to be dec
orative, and so should be the laugh of
Sayety rather than of humor. There
can hardly be question as to the
sweetest laugh TO be heard among ma
tons of women-it is surely the French
woman's. She has the softest MARBLE
of all. If doves were not so serious,
they might remind us of Partisan WON
en- laughing together. The italian
laugh is happy enough, but it is not
quite so Independent OF the subject of
laughter; it has iollity all its own. 1t
is somewhat uncivilized, but needs no
civilizing. But its principal character
istic is the contralto tone proper to the
Woman who is to the last somewhat of
a peasant. The laughter of English
women is too various for any brief de-
scription. For English women laugh,
not according to their race, but accord
ing to their caste, as caste has lately
been revised and redistributed. 1t may
be said that i'm caste also the treble
note, the ready. the immediate, fits up
to its own place-the top--and is audi

NEW SACKS AND JACKETS.
Nothing Like the Variety This SeasO
Ever known Before.

Nothing Like the Variety This Season
Ever known Before.
The variety in coats and jackets this
season exceeds anything ever known
before, and colored cloth and velvet
coats are worn with as many different
gowns as though they were black.
The full sack, hanging in plaits from
from the shoulder back and front, is
one of the fashionable shapes, and the
latest cut in this stple of garment is
very short, reaching only two or three
inches below the waist. One style is
of green cloth trimmed with black
braid. Some of these loose coats are
made with panels separate from each
other, and one pretty style is slashed
IL front to show the under bodice, and
braided around the edges.
Loose coats of black velvet are very
stylish on the right figure, but for
those who cannot wear the shape there
are little jackets of velvet fitted close
on the shoulders and fulled just trifle
at the waist into an embroidered belt.
Wide revers of chinchilla point down
TO this belt in front, and full jabot of
cream lace falls between. Bishop
sleeves finished at the wrist with cuff
of fur which falls over the hand, are
seen IN some of these coats, and a
small gigot sleeve is also worn. Cloth
jackets with fitted backs and loose
fronts are better suited TO the average
figure, and quite as good style. Braid
ing in every degree of elaboration is
used for their decoration, and last sea-
sons coat can be freshened up to date
by braiding the edges all around and
reaucing the sleeves.-N. Y. Sun.

COUNTRY ROAD MAKING.
Suggestions from the Ontario De-
pnrtment of AEricuIture.


\ report on road-making from the
Ontario department of agriculture con-
tains the following good points: Per
feet drainage, first, of the foundation
of the road bed; secondly, OF the road
surface, are the points in road making
on which too much stress cannot be
laid. Surface drainage is ac-
complished 10y open drains on each side
of the grade, having sufficient capacity
to drain not only the road bed, but the
land adjoining. With open drains and
with tile drains make and maintain
free outlet TO the nearest water course.
\ drain with an outlet is useless. In
constructing a good road dry founda-
ton is the matter of first Importance.
The graded portion of the
road should be wide enough to accom-
MEDIATE the travel upon it, and not
greater, the slope being uniform, not
heaped in the center. The crown
should be well above the overflow of
storm water, and should have a grade
sufficient to shed water readily to the
open bitches on either side. DO not
round il up so as to make the grade
steep and dangerous, under the mis-
taken impression that better drain
age will thereby be secured. Nor should
il be so low as to allow water to stand
upon it in depressions. Under ordi-
nary circumstances one inch or one
inch and half to the foot is a proper
Grade; that is, a roadbed % feet wide
should be from - to 20 inches higher
at the center than at the side"

ROAD LEGISLATION.
a Good Deal Has Been Accomplished
In IhiA Directinu-

in THIS Direction.
Once community finds out that
good roads are possible all the year
round, and that they are cheaper-by
all odGs-than poor roads, it will insist
upon having highways that are PuL!ic
comfort and convenience.
THE best is the cheapest" applies to
nothing else with more force than to
roads. The farmers are learning this
fact, and only the fear of greatly in
creasing taxes keeps them from push
ing the movement for getting the best
stone highways.
This objection is now being over
come by following some plan whereby
the whole property of the state, city
country, is being taxed to build the
country roads through system
whereby state aid is being extended to
communities and help is offered those
that offer to help themselves.
II is a matter of uncertainty which
need fixing most. the roads or the road

Will do much toward correcting the

How She Lost One of Her Best Customers.
The American milliner, who used to

in large cities. with her regular class
of customers, for whom she made bon
nets year in and year out, according to
the season, has almost completely dis
appeared. The great commercial
houses have captured that class of Gus

shop. In little country villages, how
ever. ''far from the madding crowd"
she may still be found, and summer
visitor''the other day, just before her
flight, found one of the ancients ladies
from whom during the season she had
often purchased wells and ribbons seat
ed at a sunny window at the back of
the little shop, busy with lot of bon
nets which had been ordered for the
winter.
