especially a great enemy in this re-
spect. Unless the courthouse is so
made that there are no hiding places,
1t is impossible to dislodge the rats
fIom their retreat. The courthouse
shown in the illustration, which is re.
produced from the Ohio Farmer, is
made so 1t is inaccessible to rats or
mice, and there are no hiding places
beneath it. 1t Is elevated three feet
above the ground on firmly set stone
posts, neatly dressed. The cribs may
be made from six to eight feet wide
and of any desired length. For 1000
bushels of corn in the ear the build
ing should be forty feet long with cribs
eight feet wide and twelve feet high.
In building this one should use six by
eight timber for stills and two by
eight joist.
The floor is made of two by three,
laid n half inch apart, so as to admit
the free circulation of air among the
corn. The studding should be two by
six set three feet on centres, with two
by four girts notched into the stud
ding. The ends of this building are
sided with seven-elghth inch matched
drop siding put on horizontally except
the gable, which is put on vertically.
The sides are covered with one BY
three inch strips set a half inch apart
and are put on vertically. The space
between the cribs is twelve feet wide,
and is closed inside from the bottom
of the cribs TO the ground, forming an
inside shed, which is not accessible to
any farm animals. This inner shed
is closed by rolling doors at each end.
The cribs are boarded up ins the
shed with three-inch strips plats ori
zontally a half inch apart to admit air,
and by opening the doors free eircu'
lation of air can be obtained in fine
weather. The shed is foored over
above, forming an apartment twelve
feet wide by forty feet long.

QUEEN A CULTURED WOMAN.
Spoke Five Languages and Was a Great
Lover of Children.

Lover of Children.
The most interesting and intimate
glimpse into the private affairs of the
Queen and into her recent home life is
given in a volume entitled Private
Life of the Queen by a Member of the
Royal Household" and from which
the Observation-Disclosures was CLEANED:
Victoria was always n good talker,
reading widely and speaking five Ian
guages 1uently. She knew about all
the poets and artists of note, and her
interest in the affairs of the world
never decreased on account of age.
As she grew older the Queen displayed
a more marked interest in religious af-
fairs. She attended to all her religious
duties.
The Queen always displayed a great
love for children. She had a standing
order for the picture of every lineal
descendant newly born to be forward
ed to her.
In her declining years she cultivated
a habit for games at cards. she was
always fond of such games, however.
On her long travels, Patience was her
favorite game. Her Majesty had many
little fads, peculiar to her, intensified
with age. She had a strong dislike to
new faces around her.
The Queen had the most utter abb
horrence for cats. Until soft electric
lights came into use she always in
sisted upon wax candles. The Queen,
while disliking cats, had the greatest
love for dogs and horses.
The annual income of the Queen
amounted to 81, 900 a year, all told.
She received the same allowance that
was given to George ". and William
", but while they left no sum unap-
propriated at the end of the year Vic
toria saved regularly over $4,000.
Her Majesty, in her own name, owned
1882 acres of land, which yielded
her a yearly income of more than
100000. 4he Queen was most gener-
Gus and frequently gave large sums of
money in presents. All servants who
had beer faithful to the Queen were
protected carefully by her. When
travelling she took only small retinue.

Thursday This is because they are Of
varieties little known in the Zoo. and,
though they may all have been comrades
in their original haunts. it was long ago
and now forgotten. Quaint and curious to

NAL phases and make up the finest and

this year. Following are their names and
something about each:
The clouded tiger is very rare cat
worth $500. About the size of a leopard
he is colored in oval and angular clouds
of black and grayish-brown. II its physiog-
most gentle and forbearing creature. It's
countenance Is very mild. Allied to the
clouded tiger Is the golden cat, a Malay

It is Of a dead black color the hairs being
long, coarse and devoid Of gloss.
A pair Of emus, a sort of Australian
ostrich. and q cassowary. another ostrich
like bird from the same country, are the
largest of the new birds. The latter wears
a helmet. for which extravagant use of
feathers it makes UP by having the neck
bare.
With the monkeys is a gray gibbon from

The tram cars in Vienna are small and

the good right hand of Franz Joseph
clutching you by the neck. AS an Instance.
the windows of the cars can only be opened
on one side: there is law to that effect
as the Austrians regard a draught even In
midsummer as something deadly. The pas
senger must also see to 1t that his fare ia
paid; the duty is not on the conductor at
all Should he happen to pass you by YOU
must keep your eye upon him, as the gov
