A structore such as shown in the L.
lustration herewith is within the me-
chanical possibilities of almost any
man, and the cost should not be great.
Any one interested will have no trou-
BILE in figuring out a neat profit If he
will spend 4 little time in estimating
the cost Of building 4 machine shed.
The house shown in the Illustrations
1t may be covered with shingles or
with any good brand Of roofing felt.
1t is boarded up and down, and all
cracks are well battened.
A shop ten feet wide should be To-
Gated either ut one end or in the GEN.
ter, as shown. A good, solid work
bench, with a strong wise. should nnd
a place in the shop, and a brick hue,
with a stove and possibly 4 portable
forge. will not be out Of place. The
forge will in some cases pay for itself
on one job in the time saved by not
making trip to town. During cold
and rainy weather the time may be
spent in repairing the tools and in
doing the many odd jobs always at
hand on the farm. and the pleasure Of
working with bright and sharp tools
must not be overlooked.
A structure such as shown should
have doors sixteen feet wide and not
less than ten feet in height. 1t should
be weather proof and have at least
two coats of paint. A good founda-
ton should support the same and a
good floor Of wood or pounded clay be
provided. The building should be put
up In almost any section for s. per
running foot and In many sections for
less.

st. Petersburg. July 1.-THE first
important battle between the Shahs
troops and the Persian Nationalist
took place near Teheran, Sunday.
Thus far there have been only in
significant skirmishes, with little loss
OF life on either side. though the en-
counters were greatly exaggerated in
the newspaper reports.
Early yesterday morning Persian
Cossacks, commanded by Russian OF
ficers, and other troops OF the Shah
numbering altogether 1900, made an
attack upon the united Nationalist
forces under Supahdar and Sardasad
at point Is miles from the capital.
Although the Royalists shelled the
Nationalist position with four guns
for two hours they failed to dislodge
the enemy.
cossacks Advanced.
Two hundred of the Cossacks ad
vanced to within half mile OF the Ma
tionalists, keeping up heavy fire with
Maxims and quick.firing guns.
The Nationalist replied at intervals
with a single gun, dropping number
OF shells among the Cossacks, ant
compelling them to retire.
No information has been received
here as to the number OF casualties
but they were heavy on both sides. II

General Dobror Mussnissky, in com
mand OF the Russian troops, is within
so miles of Teheran. He has strict
orders not to interfere with the bel
ligerents, but should General Liank
hoff and the Russian officers in com
mand OF the Shah's forces meet with
final defeat, he has orders to grant
them protection. They are also te
