"You can have 'em arrested, and can

not a member of that bench draws a

The young mistress of the household

sex, especially those who are so distin-

over women's meetings. go
''Er-certainly; can understand how

replied, wondering what her husband

turn that evening, she told him about
the absentee busts.
Five days later the landlady called

light tight doors, the hinges at the top.
These doors are connected by a board
that holds one or both a little way
ajar. Suppose the wind blows; one Of
them will shut and on the leeward side
the other will be open. This makes
it impossible for cold draughts to
come down. Then supposing you
wish to lessen the amount of air en-

Deadly Enthusiasm.

Some dragons in a sham fight at
Aldershot the other day became so
much excited that they charged into
a brigade of guards and slashed at
them with their sabers, chased the
guards adjutantl a considerable dis
lance, cutting at him and wounding
his horse, and rode over a corps of
military bicyclists, putting the men to
flight and smashing the machines.

states the New York World, often
wonder what causes the nervousness
Of their horses after they have looked
at the animals and come out to drive
home. It is the wild animal scent
in their clothes. The same manifes-
tations appear in the frightened horses
of the country town when the cages
Of circus tigers. lions and panthers are
near enough for them to get the smell.
All dangerous wild animals have a
strong odor. In times of excitement
this odor is emitted SO excessively as
to be almost sickening. Even in the
best geological gardens and menageries
the smell of the animals cannot be
avoided.

Mending Leaky Hose.

+, Have the hose perfectly dry, then
make q cement in this way: Take two
ounces of naphtha in room where
there is no open fire, and add shellac
gradually until the mixture is like
thin glue. Cut strips of kid from old

on them, binding them firmly in place
around the hose at the broken places.
Let the hose remain for two or three
days before using, after which it will
hold as we'll as when new.

DARK STABLES.
They Are Unhealthy Places in Which
to Shelter Stock and Are Gen.
orally Dirty.

I have just been over to one Of my
neighbors who has completed an addi-
ton to his barn. In the addition are
the stables for the cows and the
horses. It is not wise for one to criti-
else his neighbor or, at least. to the
neighbours face. so did not make any
comment on the arrangements Of the
stable. But, says a writer in the
Farmers Review, I will express the
opinion that the stables built are all
wrong. I do not see how it will be
possible to kasp them clean. The
great objection to them is the fact
that they are on the north side of the
barn and have no windows at all ex-
cept the small windows that are made
for the purpose Of throwing out the
manure, and which are kept covered
with slides. Through these small aper-
lures little light percolates. The
stables will always be dark, and that
means that they will be always dirty
and have in them bad smells. The
man keeps six cows, and there Is but
one aperture behind the cows. Late
in the winter the manure pile outside
will be higher than the little window,
which would not, of course, be left
open in the winter anyway.
I have always found that q dark
stable will continue to be dirty
stable, no matter for what animals it
is used. A man does not generally
light q lantern to find the dirt in his
stable, and that means that the stable
is never perfectly cleaned out. The
use Of water in the stable that is
dark results in dampness and mold.
have a strong sympathy for the ami
mails shut up in a dark stable, either
summer or winter.
