allowing the striking of match oc-
casionalIy to find some particular ar
ticle in a hurry. The idea of hang
ing the bale of the lantern in the snap
of a buckle is good, for then, no mat
ter how much the lantern is swayed
it cannot fall. TO avoid changing the
location of the lantern from hook to
hook, an excellent device is to run
an overhead wire along the space de
sired to be lighted in one or two places
in the barn or stable. To this wire
can be attached a snap-buckle with a
ring, so as to allow of its being slid
along from one end to the other, and
thus the lantern can be moved along at
will to any point under the wire.
Another point about the lantern in
the barn is to keep the chimney clean.
A lantern never gives too much light,
anyway, but dirty, smoky chimney,
besmeared with greasy fingermarks,
will shed just about half as much light
as a clean glass.-Guy E. Mitchell, in
Farm and Fireside.

The practice of dipping sheep is a
'ery commendab bic one. In fact, it is
considered absolutely necessary for the
preservation of the flock. Many on the
western range think that sheep are
rec from all diseases, but the fact re-
mains that while sheep may run a year
Or two and show no signs of being af-
ected in any way, there may be
ew sheep that are affected and conse-
iuently the whole flock must be dipped

LANTERN IN THE BARN.
Danger from Fire Is Minimized by
SuspendinE 1t from a Stout
Overhead Wire.

In a recent issue Mr.. Knapp right
fully calls attention to the necessity
for the practice of some system in
lighting the barn winter evenings and
mornings, and guarding against fire
by having some safe arrangement for
handling lanterns, rather than set
ting the lantern down here and there,
sometimes on uneven surfaces, and al
ways with the danger of having it
tipped or kicked over; or, worse yet,

4 GOOD STORY.

Here's a rood story by the Woman
About Town. editor Of the Washington
Post:
1.-The wife Of Il member Of a Western
delegation in Congress has been telling
ne something about j woman who set
Los Angeles by the ears ten years or so
ago. She was very rich then though
now one of her daughters has Il position
in one OF the departments OF the govern
ment here in town. 1t was the question
Of receiving or not receiving on New
Years Day that brought up the story.
for it was on New Years Day that tho
newly-ric woman astoniShed Los AnGt-
les by her audacity. Los Angeles So
cietY was morbidly exclusive Ia those
days. 1t takes a Western town to be
like that. The old family set was harder
to get into than the money vaults Of the
Bank Of England. The newly-rich lady
came to town with her family, and so
ciety turned her down and spread a
heavy frost over head while they had
her down. Her money had been made
in pork. and society in Los Angeles pre-
ferred money made in gold and timber
and railroads. Nine. NOuvelle Klche
| Iided her time. She played her cards
skillfully, and III the end she won. or,
at least. she won in so far that all the
eligible and ineligible men in town found
her charming, and her house the most
delightful in all the town TO visit. She
| spent her mcsley as If it had been
creased. as her enemies declared it was.
She made herself 4 power. She nfade
women afraid not TO invite her. and then
one fine day it was announced that she
would keep open house on the first day
Of the new year. Her reception was a
gorgeous affair. Every man III the so
ciety Of the town called. Madame had
cakes and wine for her friends, and az
Zach of them left her own jeweled hands
pinned to his coat lapel Il bit of blue
ribbon, to which was fastened a tiny
white china pig-a verirable pig. Men
Went about the streets Of Los Angeles all
that day wearing the badge of the newly
rich lady. She had made her money III
pork she gloried III the fact, and she
deftly and daintily slapped Los Angeles
in the face to let the town know it. They
always called her the china pig lady
after that, and to his day everybody
agrees that the pig was enrphatically an
animal that deserved the blue ribbon.
