a description of round barn shown

studding and by as floor joists ana
rafters. The studding We're placed
two feet apart and the rafters four
inches apart at the center, a heavy
wooden ring being used as center
rest for the upper ends of the rafters.
Over this the ventilator was set, which
also serves as cupola for the barn.
Three-fourth inch drop siding was
used to side this barn, but it was found
necessary to remove the inner lip Of
the siding groove in order to fit the
boards tightly together. Shiplap would
have been better than drop siding. The
first floor of the barn is simply filling

THE COUNTRY HOWE

Did you ever stop to think that the
prospect Of a visit to the country home
Is usually hailed with delight by both
young and old alike? The spirit of hos
pita!ity, comfort and plenty which per-
yades the whole atmosphere of the
farm home is delightful in the ex-
IRENE, especially to those who come
from city homes where economy is
practiced on every corner and the
good things so appetizing in the farm
home mean Il good substantial tug at
the pocketbook when purchased in the
city. The hostess in the country home
cultivates and enjoys her friends. She
can afford to be hospitable with re-
sources at her command which meet
the demand of every occasion. She
makes her guests feel at home and
happy, while they in turn respond to
the freedom and lack of formality with
great eagerness.

The PUEBLO INDIANS.
Their Religion Is In n Way n Species
of Water WOrshin.


Eagle feathers are much used in the
ceremonialS of the Pueblo Indians. and
IN order to make sure of a supply the
luni keep the birds in cages, plucking
few feathers whenever they hap6hn
to want them. On the other hand. the
Moki have eagles nests located at va
rlous spots within thirty or forty miles
or their towns, which are considered
the property of different clans among
them. The eagle lays its eggs in the
same nest year after year, and the
clans inherit rights to certain nests
from generation to generation.
The eagles are not killed, but the
new fedged young ones are taken
from the nest-that is to say. all but
one or two. which must be left. To
remind the eagle god to encourage the
laying of more eggs by the birds an
egg carved out of wood is placed
where the divinity will be sure to see
1t; also, after being plucked, the ca
glets are carefully buried in a certain
cleft in the rocks, which is the eagle
cemetery. Here the eagles have been

very sacred.
The Pueblo Indians have a tradition
Of the flood. and they say that the tur-
key is mark in commemoration Of
that event. its tail being black at the
end where it was dragged through the
mud after the water had subsidized.
The duck is another sacred bird, be-

Pueblo point of view, anything that is
related to the all precious water in any
way is an object of worship Their re-
ligon is made up to a great extent of
aquatic divinlties and might be called
a species of water worship.

of one of the greatest soldiers of the
time, he inherits a love for the smell
of gunpowder, and his chief fear has
been that his country would see no
more war during his lifetime. He was
born in 1881. and one of the last acts
of his distinguished grandfather was to
write letter addressed to THE Pres
ident of the United States" asking for
the present Lieutenant Grants appoint
ment to West Point. 1t was handed to
President Mckinley in 1899. and thus
the appointment the elder General
Grant desired was made. The young
man made fine record at the acade-

will have to work some to beat him as
