ina Car.

Richmond, Va, Jan. Near La
Crosse, Va, on the Seaboard Air Line,
the passengers in the sleeper of train

passengers and one remained in a day
coach while the other went through
the sleeper. The Pullman conductor,
while attempting to arrest the man
robbing his passengers, was shot
through the arm by the robber. The
man then pulled the emergency brake
cord, stopped the train and with his
confederate escaped to the woods.

PAPAL BAN ON NEW SECT.
Followers Given Twenty Days in
Which to Recant.

St. Petersburg, Jan. 1.-The pope
has issued an encyclical pronouncing
solemn ban on the new Catholic sect
known as the Mariavits, who lately
have spread widely in Russian Poland,
and has communicated the founder
of the new religion, woman known
as Mother Mary Koslovskaia," who is
regarded by her followers as being
the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary;
priest, Father Kovalskio, and others
of the Mariavit clergy. The pontiff
also threatens to excommunicate all
the members of the sect unless they
recant within twenty days.
The encyclical, which was read in
the Polish churches, has caused a
deep impression.

Chicago, Jan. IA dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says:
That the country is in the monopo-
listic grip of railroads is established
more clearly than ever by an investi-
cation Commissioner Of Corporations
Garfield is making into the effect Of
water transportation on railroad rates.
The facts unearthed demonstrate that
the railroads have their hands upon
the water transportation, both inland
and coastwise, and that a working ar.
rangement even exists with ocean
steamship companies. The ability of
railroads to maintain non.competitive
rates and to discriminate between Diff
ferent sections of the country thus
becomes apparent.

"Mr. b. B." A relieved look passed
over the judges face. You bet those
eggs didn't hatch" he said. "Mr. b.

cooking. He told me he wanted fresh
eggs for an invalid. Those eggs came
from pen that hasn't had a male
bird in 1t for months" And the group

that the buyer was often as much to
be blamed for poor matches as the

MITES IN POULTRY HOUSES.
Pest Can Only Be Kept Out by Clean.
llness and Spraying the Roosts.

An interesting bulletin has been is
sued by the state entomologist of
Minnesota in which the author dis
cusses the mite as found in the poultry
house. The following extract from
Entomolgist Washburn's bulletin will
interest our readers:
These nocturnal blood suckers, not
true lice, nor even insects, since they
belong to the class Arachnida. are
found during the daytime on the under
side of the roosts and elsewhere in
neglected henhouse
"The mites, just visible to the naked
eye, have eight legs when adult, and
are whitish. brownish or red, depend
ing somewhat upon the time elapsing
since the last meal
"They breed in nests. in hen manure
and in cracks and crevices in the dirt
Of neglected henhouses.
'Roosting fowls are attacked at
night, and if these parasites are very
abundant serious results follow. In or
binary numbers even, they prevent
fowls from sleeping. Sitting hens, as
we'll known, are sometimes forced to
abandon their nests because of the
presence of these pests.
Cleanliness is all-important. II
roosts rest in sockets. from which
they can be lifted, allowing the YER
min to gather in those places to be
killed, strong point is gained.
The writer has been in the habit
Of spraying the roosts with strong
kerosene emulsion, taking particular
pains to drench the under side Of the
same and all cracks and crevices in
the interior of the house. Kerosene
alone will accomplish the same re-
suits.
This treatment was followed by a
thorough whitewashing. These pre-
cautions and the removal of all drop
pings should be resorted to frequent
ly to insure exemption from this pest.
"On account of these mites 1t is a
| bad plan to keep fowls in close prox-
unity to other stock; hens. for in
stance, should not be kept in the same
building as horses, nor should the
hen house be built against the barn
for the same reason.
Nests intended for sitting hens
should be most carefully prepared in
such a way as to discourage the pres
ence of this parasite.
1.-THE entomologist has used ashes
or mixture of lime and ashes as a
basis upon which to place hay or
straw for the nest and has scattered
insect powder among the eggs and lit
ter in the nests from time to time, If
he had reason to suspect the presence
Of this mite"

Structure Which Can Be Built for One
Hundred Dollars.

A good, comfortable house well suit

is used on a hive, this feeder is al
ways adjusted. There is no heat lost
by having to open the hive to add a
story to accommodate a feeder, or in
any other way by which most feeders
are used.
To feed, it is simply necessary to
open the little door on one side of the
cover (the other side of the cover is
permanently closed, and shove in a
suitable dripping-pan of feed. A pan
which nearly fills the chamber will
hold about ten pounds of feed. The
crack shown in the lower wall of the
cover allows the bees access to feed;
and when the feeder is not in use the
pan may be showed a little further
over, and the crack is closed.
In cold weather the pan could be
taken out and thin cushion substi-
tuted, thus making a warm cover.
One objection to this is that such a
cover would necessarily be rather ex-
pensive.

roof and also serve as door posts, for
your 4S-foot house should have three
partitions dividing it off into four COM
partments each II by II feet.
There is no projection of the rear
rafters, which must terminate with
the outer edge of the 2x4-inch plate
that runs lengthwise on top of the
rear posts. The front rafters may
project so as to give an cave If de

is TO cover them. Round off the edges
Of the boards that meet at b. also
those that meet at c. so that the paper
may not be broken at these important
points. In purchasing roofing paper,
only the best is good enough.
OF course the front Of the house
should be toward the east or the
south, the latter preferred, and each
compartment should have u front win
dow about three feet wide and four
and one-half feet high. It is well to
have these windows on hinges. They
may be taken off in April and replaced
until December by light wire screens,
also on hinges. An exit door, ska
inches should open from each com
paTtment into its corresponding yard.
At FIG in the drawing is shown the
dropping board, over which are the
perches, h and |. This dropping board
is two and one-quarter feet from the
floor, is three and one-half feet wide,
runs the whole length of each com
partment and should be built solidly
into the rear wall, so there cannot be
any draft OF air passing down over
the fowls when on their perches. The
dropping board should be tight and
smooth; this will help much in keep
ing it clean.
The perches are 2x4-inch scantling,
II feet long and are laid loosely on
supports, fiat side up. If these fiat
perches are sprinkled, top and bottom,
occasionally with a good liquid lice
killer, you will have little trouble with
lice. We greatly prefer a double
board floor, smooth, close and tight.
The nest boxes should be hung on
the front wall, on each side of the
window, and at least one and one-half
feet above, that the hens may scratch
under them.

to be ashamed of. A house of this
size gives opportunity to have a bed
room down stairs, a convenience that
every house does not possess. There
are generally in most families at
least one old person who objects to
climbing stairs. 1t would be difficult
to arrange a more comfortable bed
room than this one, in fact few large
houses have a room of this kind. AS
a usual thing when building too little
attention is paid to the comfort of the
old people. They have spent their
lives in the interests Of the family
and it is only right that they should
be remembered in their old age. We
frequently see aged people who are
compelled to stay upstairs day after
day because they dread the trip up
and down.
The appearance of this house de-
ponds a good deal on the colors and
stains used for outside decoration. On
general principles IL is a good plan
to avoid all shades of green. Green
paint is almost certain to fade and
during the process it is likely to take
on some very sickly shades of color
that are extremely disappointing.
Nothing looks better than a light
shade of green when 1t is first put
on, but nothing looks worse after it
has been exposed to the sun and
storms for five or six months. If a
man ever wants to kick himself for
doing something absurd in the decor
alton line il is for painting a house
green. Drabs and browns are always
agreeable and generally such paints
are lasting, but colors depend so
much on the quality of the materials
used that great care is necessary in
making the purchase, II you buy the
paint yourself, or in making a con-
tract if you have painter do the
Job.

A seven room cottage house that
may be built for about $4,000 under
favorable circumstances is here given.
Down stairs there is parlor, dining
room and kitchen with one bedroom
and a bath room with an entrance
from the bedroom and another en-
trance from the kitchen, which facili-
tates warming the bath room from
the kitchen when there is no fire in
the furnace. There is a convenient
grade entrance to the cellar which
may be reached by four steps down
from the kitchen. This arrangement
leaves room in the corner of the en-
trance for a good sized refrigerator,
provision that is valuable in any
house and one that is appreciated
by every house-keeper.
The size of this little cottage is
twenty-eight feet wide by thirty-eight
feet long, exclusive of the porch,
which is not very large on the ground
and not very high; but there is
room for four rooms down stairs and
three rooms up stairs with good un-
finished attic for storage, and there
is plenty of closet room. A woman
never gets too many closets. Archi-
tects are often worried because &C
the demand for more closets than
they can find room for One advant-
age of arranging bedrooms in the
roof like this is that the low portions
of the roof may be used to advant-
age for this purpose. Some women
prefer an attic over the bedrooms, but
many would rather have a store room
of this kind because it saves climbing
two pairs of stairs. 1t is impossible
10 have every good thing included in
one plan. Cottage houses may be
lighter in construction than two story
houses and they are more economical
where the roof space is utilized as it
is in this house. The three bedrooms

much room that you do not have to
provide siding for. The roof answers
for both cover and side enclosure.
Some years ago a man built house
like this on a good street in a thriv-
ing city. All the other houses on the
street were larger and he was abused
for building a small house, but he
finished it up nicely, planted vines
and flowers in front and at the side
and made the ground very rich to
grow plenty of grass for a green
thrifty lawn, and in less than a years
