wagon illustrated herewith with two
floors is an example Of the style or type
most generally used. although differing
In many details Of design. The upper
floor Is raised when the wagon is used
for cattle. and lowered into position
when the two floors are required for
sheep. These wagons are run coupled
together. in trains Of twenty or more
wagons. each wagon containing an
average Of 200 sheep.
In the present design the loading and
unloading are facilitated by making
the upper as well as the lower floor
continuous throughout the train when
the wagons are standing.
The upper floor consists Of four flaps
or sections hinged to the sides Of the
wagons. this arrangement being found
to involve less complication than lifting

The Use OF Cement.

Cement promises to take the place OF
stone and brick for ali kinds of foundation
work. and to be largely used in wall con-

Glorious C~ertaintsss.

II matters not how faith comes, whether
through the intellect, as in the case OF
St. Thomas, or in the heart, As in the case
Of St. John. or as the result Of long eduea;;
cation, as in the case of St. Peter. God
has many ways of bringing different char.
acters to faith. but that blessed thing
which the Bible calls faith is a state OF
soul in which the things OF God become
