able means that it should be light and
free from dampness as well as of a
proper temperature. The style of ar
chitecture is of little Importance, ex-
cept that it is best that the house be
comparatively low and rather square
in form, so that there will be little or
no waste space. Whatever seems best
as a floor, use, being careful, how
ever, that there is no possibility of its
being damp nor opportunity for ver-
min getting into the house. If OF
boards, cover the floor with dry sand
and over that keep litter of some kind
all the time Clean out the sand every
month or six weeks and Ill in with
clean material.
In lighting the poultry house see
that the windows are SO placed that
the greatest amount of sun may be
had and arrange so that they may be
covered at night during the winter.
Use newspapers freely as lining to the
house, tacking them on in double lay
ers, after first filling in all cracks. A
house built after this plan, even OF
the cheapest lumber, will be all that is

CHAPTER XII.

With rare booty, the spoils of that
nights work, the brigand chief, Gas
parde, returned, little after midnight,
to the cave. He was in an excellent
humor with his multiplied success in eff
fecting the capture of Rose and gaining
far more than he had anticipated by the
robbery committed that night.
what, then, was his rage and disap-
pointment to learn from the men whom
he had sent back three or four hours
earlier that Rose had made her escape!
He raved like a maniac; he vowed the
direst vengeance on the faithless guard,
who had disappeared, and on the spur of
the moment, would instantly have gone
to assassinate their new prisoners, had
not some quarrel arising among the men
diverted his attention for a time. During
this interval he had an opportunity to
become cool, and afterwards repaired to
the cells to ascertain whom it could be
that the man had taken in company with
jacques, and who wore the disguise of a
brigand. His mingled astonishment, rage
and exaltation may be easily imagined ON
discovering it to be the Count d'Artois.
'sOho, my fine fellow! so you are there,
are you?" he cried, savagely. well
well, not a bad exchange of prisoners!
Won't / make you dance presently, mon
sieur! just wait till daylight.'
"You may do with me what you will, -
answered Louis, calmly, ''since she has
escaped. l can suffer any torture now.''
"You talk bravely, monsieur! But /
mean to get her back again-do you hear
that? will watch, day and night, till
the time comes, as | have watched since
the time when I vowed revenge for all
that happened to me at your hands. So
you helped her to escape, did you?"
Eyes; and be assured that she will be
kept now SO far beyond your reach that
no scheme of yours will ever draw her
hither again.
1--WE will see to that, monsieur-we will
see to that! Now mark me! / will get
the girl back, and you shall starve before
her eyes, day by day, hour by hour, till
you die in your chainsr'
He went out, and left his prisoner in
the deep silence of his lonely cell to think
of those cruel words.

Country is Good for working-c

SOUhtFy AS OOOu HOE " "OFAAnE-SI1r1Ss
The girl who as bookkeeper, clerk,
stenographer, milliner or teacher in
her village home receives weekly sal
ary of five, six or seven dollars is far
better off financially than the girl in
the same occupations in the city who
gets nine. ten or twelve dollars week.
In the first place, the living expenses
are much smaller in the country than
in the city-one gets very much more
for her money in the way of home COM
forts; the wear and tear of clothing is
much less, and as a rule the work less
harassing to the nerves, since there is
not the same hurry and rush, keeping
brain and nerves stretched to the tight
est possible tension, so that after the
days work is over one is too tired to
go in search of enjoyment.
Working long hours at muscle-weary-
ing, brain wearing, nerve-rasping tasks
in shops, offices, counting-rooms and
stores causes the city working-girl to
long for rest above everything else,
and in itself precludes the chances of
her making desirable outside acquaint-
ances except such as may be offered
through church affiliations, and even
these she is too tired to improve

which was fully nghted py the brazeA
lamp swinging from the roof. How long
he had been here he was unable to guess;
but the scenes through which he had
passed relative to the rescue Of Rose
flashed so instantly and vividly zpon
his recollection as to persuade him that
no very great portion of time had elapsed
since their occurrence. The fight, the
concealment of Rose, the moment of cap
ture-all these were before him. He
wondered only that the brigands. enraged
as they were at the injury to their COM
rade, had not torn him limb from limb.
His captors had taken care to secure
him beyond the possibility of escape; for
they had fettered him., hand and foot,
and to these fetters was attached heavy
chain, the other end of which was fast
ened to a huge ring in the wall. He was
in captivity, but that captivity was sweet,
since he had, as he hoped, ensured the
safety of Rose. Yet he thought of her
with the deepest anxiety, still. He cal
eutatea the chances of her finding the
way from the forest, or, perhaps, she had
tainted in that narrow place of refuge,
and remained insensible amid the nox-
ious damps of night. and with slimp rep
tiles and poisonous insects all about her!
But what would not be preferable to the
prison from which she had escaped?
To jacques his thoughts turned. As
matter of course he also must have
been brought back, and he. too must be
in a cell, chained also. When would a
chance of escape come to either of them?
1t was matter of ignorance to him,
whether Gasparde had returned with the
men who had captured him. He was in
the power of murderers now, and there
was no reason for them to be more lem
TENT to him than to any other who might
excite in them a thirst for vengeance.
Yet, with the probability of the escape OF
Rose, he suffered no apprehensions to dis
quiet him.

CUSTOM OF FLAGELLATloN.
Lieut.. Barry Reports 1t Still Prevs

Lieut.. Barry Reports 1t Still Preva-
lent Among Fi1ipinos.
According to a report received at the
War Department from Lieutenant c.
M Barney, Of the medical department,
| now stationed at Fort Schuyler, N. Y,
and formerly on duty in the Plilp-.
pines, the custom of aagelation is still
prevalent among the Filipinos, espe
cia1ly during holy week.
While in Bulacan province Lieuten-
| ant Barney had an opportunity to wit
ness this practice, in regard to which
he says:
"a person falls ill, for example, and
he promises the Deity that If he gets
well he will perform penance Of such
and such kind, during such and such
days of holy week, for SO many years.
Or il he has an enemy whom he wishes
to get rid of he vows that If this ene-
my dies he will drag a ball and chain,
or f1agellate himself, or perform some
other specified penance on holy Thurs
day every year during the rest of his
life. Back of the small chapel called
'visita,' which exists in every village,
begins his penance. With his face COW
cred to prevent recognition, stripped to
the waist, and with no clothing but
loose thin white cotton trousers, one
finds him standing with his arms fold
ed, his head bowed forward and his
body, bent, while an everyday y-looking
native slaps him on the back till the
blood comes into the skin Then he
Is spatted with piece Of wood with
little metal points in it till his back is
macerated and the blood runs freely.
Then he starts out on a long days
journey from vista to vista.
HE is certainly weird and bar
barrie spectacle as he silently and slow
ly stalks along with covered face,
swinging from side to side cord into
the end of which is braided bunch
Of sticks about the size of pencils,
which strike his bare, bleeding back
with a loud sound at every step and
macerate it so that the blood oozes
down and soaks his white trousers.
cat short intervals he prostrates him.
self in the dust utters some unintellgi-
BILE jargon, possibly prayer, while the
everyday looking citizen spats him ON
the back and on the soles Of the feet
with a fail as he grovels there. At
intervals the outlandish figure goes
through grotesque contortfons or pro-
crosses by handsprings. Whenever he
comes to a stream or ditch he plunges
into it. and whenever he reaches Wis.,
ita he grovels before it and spends
much time in prayer. One may see
these fagellants lying PROSTATE in the
dust for long periods at a time. But
the chief picture one carries in mind Is
an erect native with covered face, bare
bloody brown back and blood-stained
trousers, stalking slowly forward along
the bamboo fringed roads to the rhyth-
mic accompaniment of the swinging
scourge, while from every house for
miles comes a weird monotone lit
which represents the chanting Of the
passion Washington Star.

short of Water.

Utah proposes to avert pending ca
lamity to her agricultural section by
supplying the Great Salt Lake basin
with needed water. Irrigation has cut
off the supply and the lake itself is in
imminent danger of drying up. The
usual supply of water is being with
held and evaporation is rapidly lower
ing the level of the lake. Centuries
ago the shores of the great inland salt
sea were high on the mountains, where
the line of the ancient brook is visible
to-day and the lake, which has sunk to
it's present dimensions, promises to dis
appear far more rapidly than in the
ages past.

The Choice of Lefty.

"There's fve" Jeffy announced at
dinner. He had spent nearly all the
morning with them, and he was in
the addition table, at school, SO he
knew.
"FiHe? What lot!' mamma said,
interestedly. Are they all pretty ones,
Jefyy'
"Yee'm, all 'cept just enc. He's
homely. I guess it makes him ache,
for he keeps a-crying. The other thr-
four. ."-Jeffy had not got to the "sub-
traction table" yet, SO it was not sur
prising he said three at irst-"the
other four" he corrected himself, "are
pufhckly beauties, yes, sir! You ought
to see 'em, mammal
At tea-time there was another an
nouncement This time Jefy's face
was radiant.
81 can have onev' he shouted, in
his excitement. Mrs. Jumper says
so! She says I can have first choice
-therev'
"Why, isn't that beautiful, dearw
mamma said. (Which one are you
going to choosew
"Oh, I can't tell yet-'sif! I'm go
ing over every day an decide. It
takes a great deal Of time. There's a
white-an' black one, an black-an'-
white one, and two little Malty ones
all over"
"And the homely one, Jeffy."
'Yes'm, of course, the homely one."
Does it still make him acheY'
Mammals voice was plying and gen.
tie. cit must be awful to be as home
ly as that, Jeffyw
"He keeps on a-crying," Jeffy re-
piled, He did not care to talk about
the homely one.
Every day Jeffy went over to Mrs.
Jumpers to decide. He decided diff
ferently every day. Monday he chose
the white and-black kitty; Tuesday,
the bIack-and-white one. Wednesday
he decided on the Waltiest Walty
one. But on none of the days
Thursday nor Friday-did he
choose, the homely one. Jeffy
thought. it grew, If anything, little
homelier.
Friday at dinner Jeffy announced his
latest decision.
II think the Malty one that isn't
quite so Malty," he said. "That ones
got such pufickly beautiful little
face! But I'm going to take one day
mere to decide"
Saturday there was no school, and
Jeffy could spend all the time he liked
up in the sweet, clovery haymow de-
Gliding. He lay stretched out besides
the little scooped-out nest in the hay,
and stroked one after the other Of the
tiny, soft kittens with his kind little
hands-all but the hiomely one. Jeffy
did not stroke the homely one He was
a little afraid to, for fear-but Of
course there was not any real danger.
The idea Of choosing the homely one!
Still, the little forlorn crying kind Of
hurt; you could not help hearing it.
When Jeffy went home on Saturday
he had his kitty snuggled up in his
