sTRUCK BY LIGHTNING.

During the storm of last evening the
residence of Chas. Brogden, about a
mile and quarter west of town, was
struck by lightning and one of the
gables torn off. The family was in bed
at the time: the lightning took a
course down one of the studdings near
which Mr.. Brogden was sleeping and
the shock severely stunned him. the
effects OF which he felt for some time
afterwards. 1t was a close call and
Charley says he does not want to en-
counter it again. The dam ge to the
house is probably twenty-five dollars.

EXIT THE RED BARN.
Variety IL Made Possible to Farmers
Nowadays by Cheap Ready
Mixed Paints.

There was a time, said paint man
uiacturer, when every farmer painted
his barn red. The paint used was called
Venetian red and was made of oxide
Of iron instead OF white lead and zinc.
1t cost about half as much as lead paint
and stood the weather we'll. The farm
er bought this paint dry and mixed it
with on himself, and put it ON him
self. Now l suppose about one-third
Of the country's barns are painted red
and about two-thirds in other colors,
with the proportion of red barns de-
sreasing. This change is due some
what to fashion and more to the wide
introduction of mixed paints ready for
use.
Nowadays prepared paints are put
up In simply scores Of oolors and shades,
and many of them are manufactured
and sold as cheaply as the old Venetian
red was. In the old days If the farmer
wanted to paint any color but red he
had to mix his own eolors. He couldn't
get a painter to come from town to
mix the colors, unless he could have also
the Job of doing the painting. Now
the farmer can buy paint in any color
or shade that he wants from sample
cards and when he knows the area OF
surface TO be painted he osn ascertain
just the quantity required.
There are district fashions in barn
painting. It might be, for instance,
that In one place the squire painted his
barns red and thus set a fashion that
his neighbors would fellow. 1t might
be that come city man who had bought
an abandoned farm would paint the
old barns In modern style. Then the
neiFhb ors would sayt I don't know
how much Mr.. GtymAn knows about
farming, but he certainly knows how
10 paint barn And the people there
abou&s would be Nksly to paint their
barns more or less like his. Thus you
might find Districts where the barns
would run much alike.
I'm modern barn painting the body
10 Of one color and the trim OF another.
The present prevailing style Is colonial,
In which the body La OF light yellow
and the thin white. But barns are
painted also In grnys and IN other col
ors and In various shades OF color and
with various kinds OF txini and take
every thing together the old red barn
~ being more and more crowded by
those painted In modern fashion IN.

NO HoLLERING IN BROOKLYN.
A Manhattan Lawyers Experience

zone of my clients is deaf" said
downtown lawyer, according to the
New York Sun, land thereby hangs
story of my trouble with a policeman
in Brooklyn. My client sent one day
for me TO see him on business in his
house over the bridge, and 1 was de-
tanned until late hour. When ! left
he thought it would be in conformity
with a Brooklyn custom to see me to
my car. 1t was crisp night, and we
stood on the corner. l was doing the
talking. He did his share, but 1t was
not noticeable. The stiffness of the
hour made my loud tones sound like
megaphone in action.
"The cop on the beat came around the
corner and said we must move along.
Naturally I resented this. / said had
the privilege of talking to my client in
the street if I wanted to. The cop said
it was no time or place to be talking
business, especially when such talk dis
turbed the peace. He said if l wanted
to talk l needn't, as he expressed it,
boiler as if was trying to hail steam
boat. 1t then occurred to me that had
been yelling along the quiet thorough
fare OF the church city. I explained to
the cop that my client was as deaf as
cigar store Indian, but the cop said
that was no excuse, and l could do moth
ing but obey his order.
Don't let me hear you hollerin' any
more on this side of the river said the
cop, as moved on"

Makes Poultry Farming Pay.

A man that runs a 60-acre farm in
Croton, n. Y, claims he Is selling SO, 800
worth Of poultry and eggs from the
farm every year and $500 worth Of
other kinds of products. He says that
in two years he has cleared $4,000 on
poultry alone. There is no reason why
there should not be many such records.
The man that has a poultry establish
ment of that size is sure to have large
supply OF frst-class manure for use
on the land and so oan grow vegsta bles
to advantage. The poultry business
and small gardening work together
beautifully and should be a success
wherever intelligently managed.

points About Belgian Ha,s,.

The color is the red, golden brown,
or tan of the thoroughbred Belgian.
There should be but very little gray
about them. It is not an unusual
thing for the headquarters TO shade
off into a slight grayish tinge, but
when the animals are scored they sHf-
fer cut in consequence. The thor
oughbred Belgian m exhibition flesh
should, when fairly grown, weigh
shout eight pounds. Corn-fed or fatted,
'hey will weigh more and lose some
what in symmetry or form. For this
reason faneiers feed mostly oats for
their grain ration. He should be long
in limb and body, with straight front
f.et. fine in bons. Add to these the
characteristic color, or shades of color,

GRAIN BIN INSECTS.
The Remedy That Has Now Been Most
Generally Accepted Is Bisul-
phIde of Carbon.

Reports are current that grain weev-
ils and grain moths are doing large
amount of damage in wheat and other
grains stored in bins, and farmers here
and there are asking for remedy. At
various times we have published meth
DDS for combating these pests; but we
refer to the matter again at this time,
as there are many new readers that
have not had the benefit Of previous
articles. The remedy that has been
generally accepted of late years as the
one most effective Is the use of bi-SuI-
phide of carbon. We wish to caution
our readers at the start as to the care
necessary in handling this liquid. The
liquid is very volatile; that is, it
passes very rapidly into the form of gas
when it is exposed to the air, and
this gas is very inhammable. 1t will
thus be seen that it will never do
to attempt to use it at night when
lighted lamps or lanterns would have
to be In the vicinity of the operators.
The gas is much heavier than air and
thus will not at first mingle with it.
This is one feature that it makes it valu-
able, for when the liquid is placed in
the bottom of bin through the me-
dunn of a gas pipe or other long tube
it changes into gas and the gas re-
mains in the bin for a considerable
time-long enough to kill every insect
in it. 1t is an atmosphere in which
animal life cannot live, but it is not
destructive to the growing power of
the grain, and in fact affects it in no
way.
For 100 bushels of the grain about
two pounds of the liquid are necessary,
though some think that one pound is
sufficient in most cases. 1t costs in the
neighborhood of ten cents per pound,
and we think can be had at almost any
drug store If the farmer does not
know how many bushels of grain
he has, he can measure his bins and
find the cubic contents of the bins as
they are filed with grain. Then use
about two pounds of bi-sulphide for
every 1000 cubic feet. The amount
of liquid to be used will depend on the
tightness of the bins. We have given
the maximum amount for bin that is
far from tight. If the bins are per-
fectly air tight only one pound to the
thousand cubic feet need be used.
Some operators follow the practice
of placing the liquid in soup plates on
top Of the grain and as 1t evaporates
the fumes sink into the grain. AS soon
as the plates are set, the persons in
the grain house or barn should 60 out
at once and close all the doors.-Farm-
ers' Review.

COOK ISLANDS ANNEXED.
Great Britain Takes Formal Posses
sion of Them at the Request
of the Chiefs.

On October 3, last, the governor OF
New Zealand landed on the Cook
island. and formally annexed them to
the British empire at the unanimous
request of the chiefs and people. For
IL years the islands have been under
the protection of Great Britain and
every enactment OF the native legis-
lature has had 10 receive the approval
of the British resident at Raratonga
before being regarded as law. But
there has never been any formal an
neXation of the group and the natives
are probably delighted to have that
ceremony carried out.
TIE islands. lying far southeast OF
Samoa, are off the usua. lines of steam
er traffic, and most of their trade is
carried on with New Zealand and New
South Wales. They properly bear the
name of the great navigator Cook for
he discovered the greater part of the
group on his second journey in 1878. and
made them better known in his voyage
of 1777. Cook named one OF the islands
Hervey island, and the missionaries who
settled there somsh how got into the
habit of applying the name Heryey to
the whole group, and to-day they are
called indifferently, the Cook or Hervey
islands.
All of them are coral islands, lifted
only little way above the sea level, ex-
cept Raratonga, the largest and most
populous, whose volcanic mountain
rises to a height Of 1900 feet. Rara-
tonga is one of the pearls of the South
seas, and is rich in all the products of
the southern archipelagoss. The ma
tives have long used cotton cloth as
money, but coin is now likely to be in

PEOPLE MARRY OLDER.
SEINE Interesting Matrimonial Facts
Cleaned at n Missouri County
Courth ouse.

Ages given in marriage licenses in
the recorders Office show that men
and women are marrying later in life
than ten or twenty years ago. The
average age, says the Kansas City
journal, is considerably above that
of ten years ago, and very much
above that of 20, 30 or 40 years ago.
Formerly 1t was the rule rather than
the exception for brides TO be II or
IS and grooms 20 or Il. Now 1t is al
most reversed. Figures for several
months show that the average brides
age Is between Is and 20 and the
groom's between es and 20.
The average of the first six couples
applying for license at the recorders
office on q recent day was 33K for the
men and 30 for the women. When the
number Of couples had reached nine
the figures were reduced to 30 for the
men and 2S for the women. These
figures, however, are not good cri-
terion, the couples applying that day
happening TO be little older than
ordinarily. Figures also indicate that
couples marrying in May are younger
on the average than those marrying
in the fall Of the year.
II don't know to what to attribute
the tendency TO marry later in life"
said the marriage license clerk, "un-
less it Is that 1t takes the young man
longer to get a start In the world
than it did 20 or so years age. The
country is more developed, there are
not 80 many opportunities open to
him, and he must wait longer before
he finds himself In a position that
would warrant his taking the respon'
sibility OF supporting family. In
other words, men no longer marry
young because they can't afford It,"

Chinese Ignorance.

One of the delights of travel in
china is the innocent ignorance of the
people. They think themselves the
most sophisticated and heaven-en-
nghtened people on this earth, and so
make their naive childishness the
more engaging. They live very close
to the primeval superstitions, and the
gods and devils, between whom they
make little practical distinction, COM
mand their healthy respect. Our slip
per boatmen stuck bunch OF incense
sticks into the bank at the foot OF
some bad rapids, to placate the spirits
of the rapids, who, indeed, were so far
pleased as to let us ascend. Our house
boat admiral laid out an elaborate
Offering of chicken and rice and soup
and pork and chicken-blood and light
ed candles as we entered the North
river on our downward journey.
"What is this for, captain?" we
asked. "For the enjoyment of the
spirits of the river" he replied; "they
are eating half the sacrifice" But
It is all here STILL" we told him at
the close. "Well," he replied, "at
least. the candles are gone."-R. f.
Speer, in Frank Leslie's Popular
MONTHLY.
