IMPROVING A BARN.
Roof window That Gives q Chance
to Unload Hay Into the Loft
from the Outsade.

There are thousands of barns like
the original Of that shown in the cut
scattered throughout the country, the
roof space In which is but little, If at
all. utilized, largely for the reason that
the roof space is inaccessible. A barn
was recently seen by the writer in
which this difficulty was solved by the
insertion Of a roof window similar to
that shown in the cut. This gives q
chance to unload hay into the loft from
the outside, either by hand or by q
hay fork, and whereas the loft be-
fore was dark and poorly ventilated,
1t is now light and airy. The style
of window that is shown is much bet
ter than the pitched roof dormer win

An effectual means of keeping down
the surplus would be to reduce the
taxes and leave the money in the
hands OF the people where it belongs,
and who can use it probably IN pro-
ductive industries Instead of this it
is collected from them through tiriff
taxes given to banks without inter-
est and by them loaned out to the
people.

That Postal Deficit.

Why all this fuss about ''deticit"
In the post-offlce department, and why
is it necessary to make it more costly
for the masses of our people to get
books and papers through the mails
In order to avoid the deficit, or why
need the deficit be avoided? Who
makes good the deficit? The people.
Who would pay higher postage If the
deficit is avoided? The people. PEG.
pie who use the mails are as numerous
as those who pay taxes, 30 what's the
odds?
OF course, in the talk about postal
deficits not a word is said about rail.

party of young people who were
tenting in grove near a glen at a
Mortified conference witnessed an
incident which seems to show a
friendly understanding among SOUR
rels. The Deerfield Valley Endeav-
orer tells the pleasing story.
An out-of-doors dinner had Just
been finished and the party was still
sitting at the table, when red SOUR
rel, with glistening, eager eyes, came
creeping down a tree which stood
near the table. He crept nearer and
nearer, and finally leaped upon the
table.
The lady who was presiding said:
YES, help yourself to anything you
want!"
Upon this invitation the little fell
low made bold to creep up to loaf
OF bread from which only slice or
two had been cut. He seized it and
dragged it to the side of the table,
and somehow managed to scramble
down the side with it to the ground.
He then fixed his teeth in the crust
and dragged it away and down the
steep sides of the glen.
But when he reached the bottom
and confronted the steep rise on the
other side it was too much for him.
Then he gave sort of call, which
seemed to be understood, for soon
squirrels were seen coming from .sey-
eral directions. They crowded round
him, and after little conference all
took hold, and with tug and strain
they managed to bring the loaf to
the top of the hill and disappeared
with it in the woods beyond
