it will u into the gravel and mass
it like one stone for a floor. Upon
this for a week or two spread an
inch of moist loan to prevent quick
drying. The floor is stronger and bet
ter for it afterwards. This work
may be done after the building is
finished and before the partitions
are put in. Stills six by six inches
support the studs.
The first story is eight feet high
and the second seven feet. The walls
downstairs are double and filled with
sawdust to keep out cold and heat.
A door enters the gable end on the
north side, where a space six feet
wide is reserved the length of the
building for storing and cooking
grain, vegetables, etc.
The four pens are 6 by IL feet
each, with a tight door out of each
to the south. These doors swing
from the top out and in. Each pen
also has a door into the feeding alley
so pigs may be changed from one to
the other. Each pen has a nest four
by five feet made of two-inch plank
six inches wide on edge, to keep the
bed in place.
The upstairs is timed inside,
mouse proof, to hold a car of feed
for hogs and horses. A tight outside
door and a trap door over the stairs
communicate with the granary. A
portion of the upper floor may be
used for other storage or a shop

Germany now produces 1906, 900 tons
out of the 6,S25, 900 tons of beet sugar
grown in the world.
Valasco, Tex, is to have a sugar

CHINESE GIRLS STRATEGY.
By Deceiving Her Lovers She Kept
a Large Army Constantly at
Her Call.

The recurrence of disturbances in
southern China, reported in the tel
egraph dispatches, make interesting
some details of the personality of
Lao Kuan Yin, the beautiful WON
an Boxer, who, during the first trou-
of Arc. She rallied to her standard
a large number of well-known des-
%peradoes, until her followers num-
bered something like 10000 fighting
men, reports the Detroit Free Press.
She held the chiefs of these forces
faithful to her by making love to
them and permitting them, as many
as six at a time, each to fancy that
he was the chosen one. Soon, how
ever, her Implicitly was revealed, and
when she showed special favor to the
youngest and handsomest of the six,
the five others, driven mad by jeal-
ously, passed their swords into the
favored ones body. The rivals then
began to fight among themselves,
with the result that three of them
were killed. Next morning one of
the remaining chiefs, being old and
hideous to look upon, packed up his
goods and chattels and departed. He
took away with him nearly all the
troops, and practically the whole of
the ammunition. Liao Kuan Yin now
found herself with one lover and
very few followers, and when the
government troops appeared on the
scene went into hiding.
She is now again in power, and has
more troops at her disposal, but she
has learned wisdom, and contents
herself with one lover.

There are plenty of people who have be-
come depressed and discouraged, because
that dry, hacking cough hangs to them con-
tinually. They have taken much medicine,
mostly of the advertised quack svrt, moth
ing like DR.. August Koenig's Hamburg
Breast Tea, the discovery of a noted Ger
man physician. We do not say that this
will cure a case where the lungs are badly
diseased, for it will not, and up to this
date, there is nothing that will cure under
these conditions; but on the other hand,
if the lungs are not hard hit, the patient
should take DIR. August Koenig's Ham
burg Breast Tea, a cup full every night on
going to bed, have it hot, drink slowly, then
every other night, rub the throat and top
portion of the lungs with st. Jacobs Oil,
cover with oil silk, let it remain an hour,
then remove. Eat good, plain, nourishing
food, live in the open air as much as pos.
sible. By all means sleep as near out of
doors as possible, that is, windows wide
open, except in the very severe weather.
Take cold sponge bath every morning; then
Immediately rub the body vigorously with a
coarse owel. Take DR.. August koenig's Ham
burg Drops every other day according to
directions. One can buy the three remedies
for $l.25 of any reliable druggist. Begin the
treatment at once, and see how much better
you will be almost within a weeks time.

The Volcano bird.

One curious result Of the Soufriere'a
eruptions has been the loss on the is
land of st. Vincent Of the beautiful
bird known as Buildings Amazon par
rot. This bird was formerly found
only on the slopes Of the Sonfriere
and was called the volcano bird" by
the inhabitants of the island. 1t was
driven away by the eruptions Of IT'S
and sought shelter in other parts of
the Antilles. The great hurricane of
1898 still further reduced it's num-
bers, hardly leaving a single bird in
St. Vincent, and now it is feared that
whatever survivors there may have
been were destroyed by the recent
eruptions or have fled from the scene.
Not q bird can be found anywhere
within the range Of the volcanoes ac-
tivity. Unlike man, birds and beastsdid
not risk returning to such a danger
zone.--Detroit Free Press.

LEARNING A
1t Does Not Require Much Time, If
One Has Patience and Per-
~tinacity.

at doesn't require any great length
of time to learn a language if one has
patience" said a man who has mas
tered several languages, according to
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, land
when l hear a man regret that he is
unable to speak Frenchaor German, or
Spanish or some other language un-
known to him, l cannot conceal my
amusement. In nine cases out of ten
I might say that the men who express
regret of this sort handle English very
poorly if that happens to be their Ian
guage. The chances are that their vo-
cabularies are extremely limited, and
it would probably surprise them to
know that, despite the advantages Of
birth and education, they could not
command more than 600 or ZOO words
in English if their lives depended upon
it. Yet they are able to carry on in
telligent conversation and many of
them may become forcible and even
automatic in their sayings, and they
plunge into discussions of literature,
art, music and other subjects Of such
fine elegance, and do it rather success
fully, too. Now, how long ought it
to take a mar to learn 600 or 700 or
even 1000 words in nay language?
"Certainly it ought not to take any
great length of time, and from my own
experience l know that it does not. OF
course l am not speaking now of mas
tering so that one can get the full ben
eft of all the refinements of speech in
a particular tongue. But J have in
mind the idea of speaking intelligibly
in a given language and being able to
understand perfectly what is said in
return. l have a system which have
worked out, and it has been Ct vast
benefit to me, and has enabled me to
learn a number Of languages. " oc-
Cured to me while l was in Mexico a
few years ago on important business.
l could not speak a word of Spanish
and could not understand the Ian
gauge. l concluded that l would learn
the language. My plan was simply
this: I made up my mind that l would
not retire at the close of any day as
long as l was there without learning at
least three words in Spanish, how to
| pronounce them and what they meant,
That would give m 90 words per
month, " something over 1000 in a
years time. l stuck to the task, and I
was there nine months, and as a result
of my system I was not only able to
converse in Spanish. but l carried on
my correspondence in Spanish. Idon't
suppose I could write an essay in the
language, but I can speake it, write it
and understand it and it was all
brought about by the threa words a
day system"

which is full of wise suggestion. Again


AFTER all, this danger must be met. as
all dangers in the republic must be. and
must be overcome by the virtue OF the
people. We must, so far as possible, pro-
tect our small and holders. In their hands
Is the future of the republic. II you will
read the history of the empires and re-
publics that have persisted, you will find
that their failure dates from the time
when the lands Omitted into large holdings
and were cultivated by tenants or slaves.
So far, therefore. as it can be done by leg
isiation our small property holders should
be encouraged, md they should be pro-
tected; their burden should be made as
light as possible, n capital should be
made to pay its fair share of the burdens
of the state. Large ownership OF lana
should be discouraged and prevented.
Our system of taxation is the crucest
on the civilized earth, with possibly the
exception of Turkey and some of the ORR
entail countries. The laws Of every state
are different, nj by means of this. rarge
a~ggregations of capital avoid paying their
share of the cost of government. We are
just learning that a franchise tax is the
easiest collected Of any, and probably one
of the fairest ways of raising revenue. or
course, those who manage corporations
will object, as everybody does, to pay
ing taxes, but. nevertheless, it is right anc
proper. Those that have the protection Of
the state should bear their share of the
burdens"
