How to Bufld Stable Floor.

Stable floors should have no space
beneath to fill up with filth. I prefer
to have the walk behind the cows paved
with blocks similar to the pavement
of city streets. 1t is not only very du
rable when put down in clay. but is
also preferable to plank, or csnent,
from the fact that cows never slip on
it in passing in or out of the stable,
which they very often do on floor.
made of those substances. The plat.
form on which COWS stand is usually
made of plank, although some preie,
having that part of it at cows forefeet
and about two-thirds of way to gutter
composed Of earth. It will usually be
better to have this platform slope
about two inches to the rear. and it
should be about six inches higher than
the walk behind.-Prof. II. Snyder,

regular modern bridge, however; it
costs too much and is not durable
enough, especially under such condi-
tons as usually exist in pasture
streams. Rather should the simple
affair be resorted to shown in the illus.

against each other, thus bracing one
another perfectly, and over these are
laid rough logs, the remaining space
being filled in with dirt. Grass will
soon grow over all, and keep the sol!

Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstruation-
had headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell, and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice, and under date Of
March, 1899, the mother writes again
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

A railroad torpedo is a dangerous thing
to fool with and when its business end 10

Johnnie Reynolds, II years old. resid-

found a funny looking tin box about the
size and shape of a pocket snuf recep-
tacle, on an ash pile in his fathers yard.
Johnnie fingered the funny little box
for a few seconds and then threw 1t
into the street.
Tommy, his eight-year- brother, had
a hammer with which he had been
humping things in and about the yard
When Tommy spied the funny little box
in the street he damned IL with the ham,
mer.
The funny little box responded and
briskly.
II was a railroad torpedo and IL went
off with a bang that convinced some of
the neighbors that another war must have
begun.
When the smoke from the funny little
box lifted Tommy was sight.
Blood was streaming from cuts over his
right eye. his right arm and right leg.
Everything else left was right.
DIR. Welch was called, who directed that
the child be sent to the Rhode Island
hospital.
II was found necessary to etherize the
boy as a delicate operation on the in
jured eye was necessary.

DIPLOMATIC
RELATIONS
SEVERED.
French Ambassador Ends All
Communication With the
\ Turkish Government.

Constantinople. Aug. 1.-THE French
ambassador. M. Constans has notified the
sultan's first secretary that all diplomatic
relations between France and Turkey are
broken off and that the ambassador has
informed his government TO that effect.
M constans communicated direct with
the Sultan because the latest negotiations
were transacted with the Sultan per-
sonally.
The ambassador justifies his action on
the ground that the Sultan broke his
direct. personal promise given TO M Con-
stans at an audience in the Yildiz palace,
Thursday regarding the purchase of the
quays and the settlement Of the disputed
French claims
The foreign minister also gave formal
assurances that the agreement would be
carried out: so, In view OF this double
breach of faith, NJ. Constans holds that IL

francs with which TO purchase the quays

that eventually, they would be taken
over by the Turkish government. The

A plumber of these companies saw the
trend OF affairs several months ago and
prepared for the emergency by filing
their warehouses. They have stock on
hand and can carry on their trade with
out inconvenience for some time TO come.
A representative of The News today

was given clear statement OF the situa-
ton I'm this city, which is the index Of
the situation throughout the entire state.
Mr.. Charles II. Warren. of the firm

obliged TO raise prices from 20 to 20 per

TO a close the situation will become much
more serious.
1T is a case OF scratch" were the words
used by the steel man in the conversa-
ton.
Providence is faring no worse than the
other cities throughout the country. for
the present day industries demand an
enormous amount OF steel, and a cur
tailment OF product is disastrous to trade
OF all kinds.
The effects prominent are not
realized up 10 the present time at the
engine companies. A visit TO the office
OF the Providence Engineering company,
which is a consolidation of several con-
Germs. revealed the fact that the company
did not deal directly with the steel COM

felt any effect of the strike The Prov
