how to plan to meet all requirements
and still have a combination of style
and effect that will be in keeping with
the residence. Another very import
ant thing in a study of this kind, which
is often lost sight of, is the great de-
STABILITY of the building being rat and
vermin proof as near as possible. First,
the site should be a level one and the
foundation so built that only a few
fill the inside ground level with the
wall with good, solid dirt free from
loan or vegetable matter.
Study the needs of your stable just
as you would those of your kitchen. Be
sure to embody in it everything that
can be of use to you. Let it be a labor
saving building in economy of mater
ials used as well as in the other re-
Quirements involved. The more
thought you expend in this direction the
more of a success you will have. Be
sure to plan so that you will have a dry
base and plenty of air under the floor.
Good ventilation is the life of all good
work, and without it decay will quickly
ensue. Good drainage is also neces-
sary. Carefully graded and construct
ed stall floors, with drain connections
which can be washed out readily, are
important from a sanitary point of
view especially. In fact, the occupants
of q house or stable have most to gain
from frst-class drainage and ventila-
ton.
This building was erected as a model
of its kind, and has proved to be so. II
is in every way desirable for its uses
and is a good example of what prop
erly equipped stable should be. There
IS one large box stall with hard dirt
floor. The carriage room is ioored
with tongued and grooved plank two
inches thick; second story with ordin
stone. The structure above the founda
ton is strongly framed; the first story
finished with drop siding; second story
and roof, shingled. The roof is LEFT
implanted; all other wood work is
painted two coats. The width of the
building is twenty-five feet, and the
depth eighteen feet. The height of the
first story is eight feet, and the SECOND
story up to the rafters. The cost of Q
structure of this kind would naturally
vary with the market as influenced 10y
local conditions, but it could probably
be built in most places for about $500

Why Sheen Are Woody.

If you want to ask sheep where he
got his wool and why, take a dog into
a mountain pasture band and if the
sheep are afraid of the dog they will
invariably run uphill rather than down.
You have your answer. The ancestors
Of the domestic sheep, like wild sheep
Of the present day, lived among high
mountains and needed their woolly COW
ering to protect them against the con-
slant cold of high atmospheres. They
chose the high and inhospitable region
to live in because they fond the fierce
fiesh-eating animals of the plains too
strong for them. A proof of these facts
is that the wool grows on a sheep the
year round.

Shou-Worn Socks.

The National Advertiser tells a story
of an old bachelor who bought a pair
of socks and found attached to one Of
them a slip of paper with these words:
al am a young lady of 20 and would
like to correspond with a bachelor,
with a view to matrimony." Name and
address were given. The bachelor
wrote and in a few days got this let
ter: Mamma was married twenty
years ago. The merchant you bought
those socks from evidently did not ad-
vertise or he would have sold them
long ago. Mamma handed me your
letter and said possibly l might suit

DESIGN FOR A STABLE
The Building Shown Here Was Erected
Model of Its Kind.

A well-planned and carefully con-
structed stable as an adjunct to hand
some residence is often the exception
instead of the rule. In situations where
same time the former should match the
latter and be in every way in the same
general style. 1t ought to be a pie
turesque, pleasing design, adding to the
charm of the landscape. When nice
house is erected and it is necessary to

nREYFUs CONVICTED.

IA cannot be said that the conviction
OF Captain Dreyfus IS a surprise. 1t has
been feared-expectod almost-from the
beginning. 1.-The generals of the army"
and their accomplices doubtless reasoned,
after the fashion common with ignoble
SOUS, that they had gone too far 20
retreat. and they dominated the court
martial. That the result which they
have brought about meets with the APP
prevail Of a majority of the French popu-
lace we have no doubt. nevertheless, it
IS infinitely discredtabe to the French
republic. and is, of course. a detestable
outrage.
Dreyfus has been foully wronged, but
he is not the only victim. France is an
other, ana It's people will recognize that
fact, when the passion and the prejudice OF
the day have subsidized 1t will be an ever
lasting stain upon its system OF justice

Yoye justice and hate TO see the machinery

man.
The previous sentence Of Dreyfus was
life Imprisonment. Now. it is ten years
Imprisonment. The court evidently had
managed TO find some mitigating circum-
stances. Yea, more. it is limited that
the fiVe years of solitary confinement
which Dreyfus has suffered Will be rated
as ten years Of ordinary imprisonment.
and that ne may be liberated in the
course of a week or two. IL that be true,
tine sum and substance OF the courts
findings is that Dreyfus is guilty, but
has been punished enough!
Dueyfus IS a worn and weary man,

character, and so far has borne himself

and we trust 1t will not be fruitless. He
will not have lived in vain, IL. through his
suffeVings and sacrifices, he brings the
French people 20 "a realizing sense of
the monstrous crime-of which they now

WE ARE NOT DECEIVED.

Why should the Republicans OF the Ola
Dominion strike their cOlOrs and desert
the field merely because the outlook is
discoura ging? Are they ready 10 throw
up their hands and confess themselves
unable TO fight any longer against a cor
rupt and desperate enemy?
What the Virginia Republicans should
do is 10 nominate candidates in every
legislative district. even II they know be
forehand that not one Of them can be
olected.-New York Mail and Express.
The Republicans, we suspect. are play
ing 'possum." They would have us be-
leye they are fat asleep, but they will
be found wijeawake in any county where
Democratic divisions offer them an OPP
portunity TO run in a candidate and elect
him.
The letter Of the state Republican Com
mittee is advisory only. Where they
choose to do so, the county organizations
are at liberty to disregard 1t. And we
predict that they Will disregard It where
it appears TO be their interest TO do so.
However, most of our people understand
their game and steps will be taken TO
checkmate II.
