Most farm homes are very poorly
lighted. A kerosene lamp is dirty,
smells bad and does not give very
much light. A gasoline lamp is much
better. Best Of all is the acetylene gas
system. After this is once installed It
can be operated cheaply and will fur.
nish an abundant supply Of light.
The water system is another thing In
which farmhouses are behind those in
the city. There is scarcely a house in
a town Of any size but that is provid-
ed with water and sewage systems. In
the country these are the exception
rather than the rule, yet they can be
put In at a small cost.
An air tight tank in the cellar is
sometimes used to supply the pressure
for a farm water system, but is rather
expensive. The water can also be
drawn from the elevated tank at the
barn, If n is used there, the only dis
advantage in this cas- being that cis-
tern water cannot be used. On the
whole, the most satisfactory plan Is to
have a small galvanized tank in the
attic. A little covering in the coolest
weather will keep it from freezing, and
q few minutes work with the cistern
pump each day will keep it filled.
BY having a heater attached to the
furnace or to the kitchen stove and
making the proper connections hot and
cold water can be supplied to the bath
room, the wash room and anywhere
else that 1t is wanted.
The laundry room downstairs is the
place where the convenience Of such
a system will be appreciated most.
In this room the washing machine,
tubs, wringer and other utensils can
be kept. An opening in the floor con-
nected with the tile drain will carry
off the waste water, and hot and cold
water from upstairs will be always
on tap. Such a room, together with
the entire water system, can be fitted
up for less than 500.
Another convenience that can be in.
stalled at small cost is a sewerage Y s
TEN. This can be connected with the
bathtub and sink, and with a small
additional expense another luxury that
is seldom found on the farm, an in
door closet. can be added. Drain
pipe well cemented at the joints
should be used in constructing the
sewer. The cheapest form Of outlet
IL the "septic tank" This is a small
underground tank divided into four
compartments, so arranged that when
the first of these becomes full it will
overflow into the second, and SO on.
The tank should be covered and pro.
vided with a ventilator. The action
OF bacteria in the septic tank will de-
stroy all the solid matter, so that the
water which flows out the lower end
will Ike clear and have no objection
able odor, With an occasional clean
ing out such a tank will last forever.
The house should be provided with
plenty of rorches. These increase the
expense somewhat, but also add much
to the comfort and appearance of the
house. Vines trained up over them to
keep out the sun and screens to keep
out the flies make them still more
comfortable.
Nothing adds more to the external
appearance of the house than a neat
lawn Of ample size. Do not make it

OF endearing epithets that have been
applied to him were set down in order
this article would occupy a whole
page, and then there would be no
room for rhetoric or trimmings.
We all remember-how can we for.
@et:-the departed and sizzling years
When Loeb was scapegOat extraordi-
nary and buffer plenipotentiary for
about everything that went amiss in
this nation. If anything unpleasant
happened at the White House, as many
unpleasant things did happen every
fifteen minutes Of every day, it was
Loeb did it." For one individual to
have accomplished all the mistakes,
tnadvertencies and downright cruelties
then ascribed to Loeb would have
proved him the most Industrious man
that ever lived.
Made the Sugar Trust Pay Up.
Well, Loeb is still doing things, and
as we all took a shy at him in those
troublous times for what 1t was said
he did in the name of another It is but
fair that we now give him q boost for
what he is doing In his own name.
The story Of the way Loeb made the
sugar trust pay 100000 in duties of
which it had defrauded the v
ment is still being chuckled over both
In New York and Washington. Loeb
found that suits had been entered to
force the trust to disgorge, but the
trust lawyers had interposed technical
tiles and dilatory motions, so that
there was no hope Of reaching the
cases for years. Then the new col
lector Of the port got busy, and what
he did to the sugar trust was plenty.
Calling in the newspaper men, he
asked them If they would print n sto-
ry on the matter. Would they? Are
newspaper men overlooking first page
scare head stories, especially in the
dull season: The way the papers play
ed up that case was in the most an
proved yellow style.
Now, at that particular time it was
not just convenient for the trust to be
dragged into the limelight in this fash
Ion. y tariff bill was being framed,
and the benevolent gentlemen running
the corporation wanted Il little higher
duties so they could take a few more
millions out Of the pockets Of the con-

trolls patronage that makes him a DOW
er III the chief city and state Of the
Union.
1t Is refreshing that a man of Loeb's
character a come into such q posi-
tion, for he Is not a creature Of the DO
litical machine, but worked his way
up by ability, discretion and tact. He
is under no obligations to anybody but
eX-President Roosevelt and President
Taft, with both of whom he has had
and still has the closest relations. His
propinquity to Roosevelt is sufficiently
indicated by the fact that Loeb was
called assistant president" and, as for
Taft, it is generally understood in
Washington that behind the scenes
Loeb was the real manager Of the big
mans campaign for the nomination.
But outside Of these two William Loeb,
Jr, Is a very Independent citizen, of
which fact he has given gratifying
evidence during the brief time he has
been in an Office in his own right.
Breadwinner at Eleven.
Loeb was born in Albany, and his
father still keeps q small shop in that
city. The boy was a breadwinner
from the time he was eleven. He was
deprived Of a college education, but
managed to work his way through
high school. Then he took q course In
s~tenography and persevered until he
was known as the best reporter In Al
bany. He Is a good Judge Of men, is
quiet, hard working and always on the
job. Despite the chatting he received
when Roosevelt's secretary, he was
most popular. especially with the news
paper men, who are keen judges Of
character. One Of his most notable
characteristics is kindness, his motto
being ito have a friend, be a friend"
There were tnnumerable instances In
which he did favors for people in a
quiet way. BE was ever a cutter of
red tape and often Strengthened out
tangles by a line or a phone message
to some department, thus adjusting
difficulties that would have taken
months to unravel in the ordinary rou-
tine. Mr.. Loeb married Miss Rather
me orr Of Buffalo, whom he had met
in Albany, the ceremony taking place
at the time he was assistant secretary
TO the president.

sumers. Those newspaper roasts came
at just the psychological moment to
anect congress. OF curse Loeb had
no designs in the matter, yet the thing
could not have been better timed.
Loeb Is most innocent, yet rather eft.
fective, when it comes to matters of
publicity. The upshot Of the whole
matter was that the trust paid over
100000 without further parley. 1t
could stand of the courts, but it could
not stand of the press.
Controls Nineteen Hundred Men.
The new collector Of the port did not
stop at making the sugar trust disgorge.
He found a system of frauds in short
weight entries. and as a consequence
several subordinate officials have been
shifted, others discharged, and a
wholesale shaking up Is now going
forward in the New York custom
fouse. 1t should be mentioned in pass
ing that politically the collectorship of
the port of New York Is one of the
most important places in the govern.

other men have pretty effectually con-

The first cantalever railroad bridge
Is the one across the Firth OF Forth at
Queens Ferry, Scotland. 1t is nearly
one and a half miles in length. Fifty
one thousand tons of steel were used
in it's construction. employing as many
as 5000 men at one time. 1t cost S16,-
100000 and fifty-six lives. The work
men began at either end and worked
toward the center. When they met
and undertook the last connection It
was found that the two ends lacked a
small fracion Of an inch Of reaching
far enough to allow the insertion OF
the bolts that were to complete the
spar For a time this was a puzzle,
but was finally solved by an ingenious
workman who suggested expansion by
artificial heat, and it was forthwith
supplied by means of burning kerosene
oil under the steel girder.
