A Flat Roof.
What roofing would you suggest for
fiat topped building?

Very fiat roofs can be made OF
gravel, coal tar and felt paper. The
sheathing for the roof should be
matched lumber, then tar paper should
be put on and laid the same as shin.
giles, the lower edge Of the tar paper
should be laid In coal tar for about
ten inches up and nailed down to the
roof The paper should lap over each
layer so that when the roof is covered
It will be three-py. After the paper
is laid cover the roof with hot coal tar
and sift on gravel while the tar is
soft. so that 1t becomes imbedded in
II. The tar must be put on hot, with
a broom or large brush. The tar can
be procured at any hardware store.

Would advise having a stone wall
on all four sides, and ventilatlng the
stable. An easy and inexpensive way
to ventilate stable is to have fresh
air intake pipes through the walls in
the alleys near the floor, and wooden
yentilatlng flues running up through
the mows to the roof at the gable
ends or perllne posts. These aues
pass through the floor Of the barn to
the bottom of the jolst in the ceiling

The announcement is made for Gov.

presented ty the governor. This re-

II was once thought necessary for
the preservation Of his popularity that
the governor Of Massachusetts, should
employ a great part OF his time In at.
tendance on all sorts Of public func.
lions. and II is only within the past
five or six years that the rule was
adopted OF declining q great mass of
invitations that formerly had been
accepted.
II was discovered that Gov. Crane
lost none Of his popularity, and the
political strength OF Gov. Douglas was
not diminished In consequence OF the
observance OF this new rule. II Is
certain that these results will attend

The condition in the insular pos
sessiOns-the Philippines and Porto
Rico-are not as r%eassuring as they
were when Congress met last year,
and It Is anticipated that the Presi-
dent will discuss the so.called insular
question with that frankness which
he applies to all questions. In his
last two messages to Congress he
asked that the Philippines be knit
closer to the United States by tariff
arrangements, and 1t Is probable that
he will renew that plea.
Congress will be asked to take Wig,
orous steps to enable the United
States to participate In the new
markets to be opened up in the far
east. President Roosevelt believes
that a special commission should be
authorized to study the entire subject
Of the oriental trade. Congress has re-
peatedly ignored recommendations Of
this character, but 1t Is believed that
recent developments have aroused

the whole world to the situation to
such an exent that the matter cannot
longer be ignored.
The President Is gratihed at the
substantial increases which have been
made in the navy, and believes that
work should not stop. He refers to the
lessons Of the Russo-Japanese war as

general board Of the navy that three

connection. and has called attention
TO the boycott inaugurated agains
American goods In China as the begin

Interests In the empire.
The President refers 10 the happy re
suit Of the negotiations which occur

enee TO the part the United States
played In bringing the belligerents

the internal situation In Russia as
deplorable. but sees In the new era
which has been i~naugurated promise
OF the Improvement Of all classes and
the removal Of the serious restric.
tions under which the Jews have Ia
bored.
The President describes at length
the reason for his action putting
into operation the modus vivendi un-
der which the United States Is col.
lecting the customs Of Santo Domingo

told OF the satisfactory results which
flowed from the modus vivendi, in.

sum in New York with which TO dis

urgently the ratification OF the treaty
pending before the Senate by which
the United States Is authorized to col.
lect the customs.
The President tells OF the reforms
he has ordered In the consular ser.
vice and recommends that Congress
enact Legislation In order that this
service may be placed upon a sound
business footing. which will enable
II to give satisfactory and adequate
results for its cost.
The President earnestly commends
the encouragement Of the merchant
marine by appropriate legislation.
The President believes It Is impor.
tant that Congress should enact leg
islation for a national quarantine in
stead Of the haphazard quarantine Of
the several states. which leads to dis

embarrassing problems for the states

dence of the great need of federal

Corporations Is a subject which has
been given serious consideration by
the President. He believes corpora

as q whole. In his message he
strongly urges proper legislation By
Congress. In this connection atten.
ton Is called to prosecutions which
