cuss for? He gains nothing by it in
business, or among his friends. or in
the lodge. There is not man here
who would want to hear his wife or his
son swearing about the house. If tt
boy did the father would take him to
the woodshed and lambast him."
No One Wants Bad Boys.
He described the influence of the
father over his son, when that influence
was for the bad, and how eventually
the boy tagged his father into the sa-
loon, and became drinking, wicked,
swearing young fellow, whom no one
would employ, not even the saloon
keeper. Continuing he said, Il am
trying to show YOU that the man who
booze-fights is going against, not only
his own interests, but the interests of
his son. There are some of you who
have not hair between you and hell"
He described at what fast pace the
world, and especially the young were
going, and incidental to it he gave his
dramatic description Of the race of the
20" fast mail for the government con-
tract.
I'VE are going fast boys. Go out and
hit the grit for God and the world will
follow you. I am pleading for the boys
that are not vet born. L am plead

sons, and your sons sons / am plead
ing for you to come to God.

whose engine had carried his train so
close to passenger that was standing

You are so far gone that i can not
help you. But if / can stand on the
track and flag your boys who are go
ing to hell and say, stop, stop, do not
go on i may save them from dis
aster."
He described the youth being tempted
to drink and how, when he had taken
his first drink, he awakened the hered-
tary habit Of his grandfather, and
how his thirst was aroused for more
and more. Lower and lower he fell
in drink and with dramatic imperson-
alton, Sunday described his finish in
delirium tremens.
Noble Father, Noble Son.
Continuing, Mr.. Sunday said in clos
ing: IF you are a noble man, your
children will be noble. If you are sin
full and drunken your children will be
sinful and drunken. You can not get

WouIdn,t Be FOOLED AaaIn.

A shepherd once, to prove the quick
ness Of his dog, which was lying be-
fore the fire in the house where we
were talking, said to me in the middle
Of a sentence concerning something
else. 'I'm thinking, sir, the COW is in
the potatoes"
Though he purpOsely laid no stress
on these words and said them in a
quiet, unconcerned tone of voice, the
dog, which appeared to be asleep, imme
diately jumped up and, leaping through
the open window, scrambled up to the
turf roof of the house, from which he
could see the potato field. He then,
not seeing the COW there, ran and look
ed into the barn where she was and,
finding that all was right, came back
to the house.
After a short time the shepherd said
the same words again, and the dog re-
peated his lookout, but on the false
alarm being the third time given the
dog got up and, wagging his tall, look
ed his master in the face with so COM
ical an expression of interrogation that
he could not help laughing aloud at
him, on which, with slight growl, he
laid himself down in his warm corner
with an offended air, as If determined
not to be made a fool Of again.-Lon-
don Standard.

Builder of the Great Wall of China.
To superstitious notions Chin added

blaze of oriental magniicence. DE

been described In the Imperial History
as having certain gorgeous annexes at

ing over a distance of hundred miles.
In consequence of his life OF luxury
perhaps be became more and more a
prey to superstition, and it may be
that because of this he completed the
Great wall At any rate, history re-
cords that he was informed by proph-
ecy that in time he would be over
whelmed and destroyed by outside
enemies. So he modified an army
of 5000 men to work on the Great
wall and if necessary to fight in its
behalf. Chin's design evidently was
to inclose his massive empire In a
rampant which should have the shape
of horseshoe, with the heel calks at
the ocean shore. He did not plan to
parallel the coast with a wall, doubt
less considering that seaside an ample
protection to country vast and dense

modern use. 1t is an ancient fossil.

fossils are useful and truthful. 1t Is

tons and between two eras. In space

from the tillers of the south.-William

FIG. xIx-SMALL POULTRY HOUSE
too far away they will roost in the
barns and sheds rather than return to
it. The poultry house should not be
too far from the dwelling either, In
order that it may not be too incon-
venient to care for the poultry. The
ground where it is placed should be
fairly high and naturally well drained.
A damp poultry house fosters all sorts
of diseases.
The size of the poultry house de-
ponds upon the number of fowls kept.
1t is estimated that about five square
feet of floor space should be allowed pei
fowl. If they can be out of doors most
of the time they can get along with
considerably less. The best kind OF
house to build is the scratching shed
type, built with a shed roof. The high
side should be to the south. About
half of this house should be parti-
toned off for scratching shed. The
south side of this shed part is to be
left open, covered only with wire net
ting to keep the fowls in. If the back
and sides of this room are tight and
the bottom boarded up foot or two
there will be little draft and the
fowls will be comfortable even in the
coolest weather. The floor Of this
shed part may be Of dirt and should
be kept covered with several inches of
straw.
The remainder of the house should
have floor, preferably Of cement. a
cement floor lis easily kept clean and Is
little more expensive than a wooden
one. The chief advantage is that it
keeps out rats and other vermin better
than any other kind Of floor. Neither
does it furnish any crevices in which
lice and mites can hide. These pests
are the worst enemies to poultry Gull
ture, and care, should be taken in build
ing a house to leave as few cracks
where they can hide as possible.
Value Of a Curtain Front.
There should be several windows In
the south side of the house to supply
light. Light is one Of the best disin-
fectants. 1t does much to keep the
fowls free from disease and happy and
contented. To provide for ventilation
there is nothing equal to the curtain
front" This is large square of mus
lin fitted into a frame the same as
window This allows gradual ad-
mission of fresh air without drafts.
The exchange of air takes place slowly
enough, so that IL does not lower the
temperature of the house too much.
Considerable light comes through the
curtain also, and less heat escapes
through it at night than through glass
windows. The curtain has the further
advantage Of being cheap. No poultry
house should be put up without one.
Whether built Of lumber or of some
ether material, the poultry house
should be tight. Drop siding is good
material for the side walls. A single
wall is the cheapest and answers the
purpose very well. 1t costs only a lit
tie extra, however, to lath and plaster
the inside. and such house is more

untouched our present excellent sys-
TEN Of district courts, giving the legis-
lature power, as now, to establish OF
abolish inferior courts
All this is but saying that the pro
posed judicial amendments are in the
line Of progress, though conservative
for progressive, growing state for
the purpose of expediting justice. The
northern part of the state is gaining in
population, which will bring increased
litigation. The proposed amendments
represent the conservative and best
digested thought of the state after ten
years of discussion and agitation, hav-
ing received the sanction of two con
servative legislatures, and they have
the unqualified support Of such men
as Mr. Charles H. Hartshorne. who
has written a book on the courts Of
New Jersey and whose unselfish devo-
ton to the public good is unquestioned.
Opposition, If Any.
None that has been openly stated.
Undoubtedly preference will always
exist for a different system from the
one proposed, owing partially to a
thorough and accurate knowledge Of
the subject and partially to that feel
ing that what has been good enough
In the past should not be changed,
but the real opposition, If any, should
and will come from those litigants,
aggregations of wealth, who find In
the present system of courts a ready
and powerful weapon in the hands of
trained and skillful lawyers to tire
their less fortunate adversary by ap-
peals, delays, uncertainty and con-
fusion until the deserving litigant may
be ready to take what is offered in
settlement without much regard for
the Justice of his demands.
This class of opposition, If any, will
not assert itself in the open, but will
use the inertia and Indifference of the
people, aided by Individual opponents
and doubtless under cover of some or
CARNATIONS, to accomplish the defeat
of the amendments.
If there is one thing more important
than another for the state to provide
it is that the means of obtaining JUS
tice should be prompt and expeditions,
with no unnecessary delays and I'M
certainties. 1t is believed by those
who have given the subject the best
thought that the adoption Of the pro-
posed judicial amendments will great
ly aid in this object and tend to keep
New Jersey up to her ideal standards
of Jersey justice.

three months old. 'There is no place
like home to chickens, and it is a
great deal of trouble to teach them to
forsake their coops and go into the
poultry house nights. This trouble can
be avoided by building a number of
small colony houses. A convenient
size for these houses is s by 10 feet.
Such a house will hold hundred
chicks until they are nearly full grown.
1t may be built on the same plan as
the main poultry house without the

built on runners, 50 that it can be
hauled about from one place to an
other, as is most convenient. These
colony houses are practically indispep-

best to build these houses In substan-
