ed himself to Cecil Brown who, he said,
had been fairly beaten but was not
man enough to take his medicine.

spoke in both Hawaiian and English
and Senator Achi who followed stated
that the Republicans intended if re-
turned to introduce a bill to allow the
manufacture of wine i'm the Territory

No Love Lost Between the Arnol6s.
John Denison Champlin told an anus
ing story Of Matthew Arnold and Sir
Edwin Arnold. "Some years ago." he
said, "when walking with Matthew
Arnold ON the banks of the little river
Test, near Romsey abbey, conversation
turned on Sir Edwin Arnold and The
Light of ASIA published four or FIVE
years previously. 1t Is not necessary
to enter into Mr.. Arnold's opinion Of
the poem. During the conversation
took occasion to ask Kim If he were
related to Sir Edwin. He paused

ton, and then said: NO, we are not Of

A few weeks later 1 happened to meet
Sir Edwin at q dinner in London and,

able curiosity, propounded similar
query to him. NO. he replied quickly,

stretched from bank to bank. then
bound together with smaller ropes and
covered with bamboos. The road from
Cuzco to Quito Is still noted for frail
bridges Of this sort. which are In con-

The Chinese also, according to
Kircher, have for centuries been IA.

and have constructed chain bridges In
which the weight Of the roadway is
supported by the tension Of the chains.
The first iron suspension bridge In
Europe was built over the Tees, near
Middleton. In 1741. for the use Of min
ers. Two chains were stretched In
straight line, steadied by ties from
the banks below, and the roadway for
foot passengers was supported by the
chains.

make for race course, and she forth
with determined that a course there
should be and that she herself would

Who Supported Atlanf

There are a few fundamental facts
to be remembered In order to avoid
losses by reason Of the presence Of hog
cholera or swine plague In the herd
The first is that these are specific germ
diseases, disseminated by bacteria. and
the contagion cannot be spread from
one animal TO another or from one herd
to another except by these minute or.
ganisms. They may be carried In II
multitude Of ways-by the hogs them
selves, on the clothing Of persons. on
vehicles, In feed. by dogs, birds and
other animals or by streams. The
breeding or feed of hog cannot cause
either disease. although bad methods
may so weaken the constitution and
vitality that the animal becomes more
susceptible than would otherwise be
the case. Second, diseases caused by
bacteria may be prevented In large
part by thorough disinfectiOn. Third
bacteria are generally preserved in
filth, and therefore scrupulous cleanli-
ness will go far toward preventing out.

History speaks of these henchmen In

mentioned in the royal ceremonies as

and took part In tournaments.

When l.. Calpurnius Pl3o was ap-
pointed governor Of Macedonia for one
year, he drew for his outfit from the
public. treasury 100000 sesterces, or
100000. He did not want the money

the province. PisO simply took the

was charged by Cicero with having
robbed Sicily Of f350,OOO in three years,
besides many valuable works Of art.
He practically admitted his guilt by
retiring from Rome without attempting
any defense. Cicero which governor Of
the poor province Of Cilicia found him
self the richer In one year by 100000,
and he was perhaps the only proconsul
who ever handed over his surplus to
the state.
There can be no doubt that Cicero
and the younger Pliny received large
sums from their clients while those
clients were still living. Balbus is
not likely to have secured the argu-
ment 'Pro Balbo" for a mere trife.
And the gratitude of Sicily for the
prosecution Of Verres undoubtedly took
a very substantial form. Apart from
all such honorarla, 1t Is recorded that
Cicero and the younger Pliny received

A SATISFACTORY SILO.
Cheap to Build, a Permanent struc-
nd ~

Cnenp TO Bufld, n Permanent Sfruc-
ture and Gives Perfect sflage.
We have Mt one end Of our barn an
octagonal silo built in 1893 that gives
us perfect silage. 1t is cheap to build,
| a permanent structure and has not cost
one cent for repairs, writes q cOrre-
spondent to Rural New Yorker. Fig.
A in the cut illustrates the way the
framework is set, made of 2 by inch
sticks cut whatever length is wished,
depending on the size of the silo you
wish to build. Our sticks are eight
feet long, lap across ends and are
spiked. These frames are set at diff
ferent widths. being nearest together
near the bottom of the silo, where the
greatest strain comes. The first two
are fifteen and eighteen inches apart,
the next two feet, and from this up to
three and one-half feet near the top.
The whole framework for this silo can
be carried in one horse wagon, while
our rectangular silo, having the same
capacity, requires several two horse
loads Of heavy timber and yet it bulges
at the sides. This one stays tight, as
the pressure Is practically equal all
around the silo. There are no corners
TO speak Of in this one and no spoiled
silage.
We dug a ditch about eighteen inches
wide and two feet deep around where
the framework was to set; this we fill
ed with small stones and cemented.
The center was on hard pan leveled up
with small stones and cemented, and
after silo was made run up little on
the side Of the sllo so rats could not
get under the bottom. Rats and mice,
II possible, will burrow under silo and
let air In and spoil considerable sllage.
On this foundation we set our first
framework and succeeding ones at va
riOus widths, as before stated, each Sec
ton held up by piece of 2 by 6 UNI
der the end Of each piece, so that for
each section eight shore pieces are re-
CURED besides the 2 by pieces. On |
