opposite side. The circle pieces are
cut from two by ten inch timbers,
pieces lap as far as possible, and be
well spiked. The stills are bolted to
the cement foundation as shown.
Three pieces of sound one by four
inch strips are nailed to both edges of
the studs, which gives it both width
and strength; these are covered with
any rough sheathing, and the sheath
ing covered with several layers of
heavy building paper; one by four
inch strips are then nailed over the
studding, which should be not over "a
inches on centers for small buildings,
and less for large buildings. The fur
ring strips are next covered with wire
or wood lath, and the lath in turn
with two heavy coats of Portland ce-
ment plaster, mixed in the proportion
of one part cement to 21s parts sand.
When dry, paint with thick paint Of
pure cement. For icehouses, root cell
lars, lighthouses, etc, the interior
walls are finished in the same manner
and salt glazed tile used for ventila-
tors.
The doors and windows should be
double and made to fit tight and
close. The ends of the building are
studded up with two by ten inch tim
bers, and finished In the same man.
ner. II desired, the studding for
, round roof structures may be built
ND of one-inch strips until the stud is
the desired thickness; Of course, II
the roof is not round, single pieces
are used for the studs. The air spaces,
however, should be not less than eight
inches, and mere would be better.

Bringing Up Children.

There are plenty of debatable points
about how to bring up child. Shall
he use right hand and left equally?
Shall he toddle to kindergarten at 4;
or run wild, untaught till z? Shall he
ever under any circumstances be
spanked? The world is not agreed
But on one subject enlightened opin-
ion Is unanimous. Children must not
be scared.
A shock is never justifiable. There
fore, when there is screaming at the
sea dip we temper the ordeal to swim
ming baths. For that fear of the dark
that comes sometimes, no one knows
whence, TO children free from all bogy-
lore, there is the humane night-light
and the comforting society of a plush
bear as bedfellow. Everything should
be delightfully."- and smoothly ordered,
in fact, for normal rising generation,
If only parents will restrain them
selves and keep their nerves out of the
nursery.

Short. and to the Point.

One of the shortest speeches re-
corded in forensic annals is that Of
Taunton, afterward a Judge. Charles
Philips, an Irish orator, had made a
flowery speech in an assault case.
Taunton, who was for the defendant,
said in reply: "My friends eloquent
complaint amounts, in plain English,
to this: That his client has received
a good, sound horsewhipping; and my
defense is as short-that he richly de.
served It."

e. Bridgman in Farmers Review. An
inexpensive and highly satisfactory
method of using cement for any OF
the aforementioned structures is
shown in the accompanying illustra-
ton.
Fig. l is a longitudinal section OF
the wall, while Fig. is a cross
section of the same wall. In Fig.
2 the illustration shows the method
of building a round roof, which
will be found very satisfactory
for apple houses, roothouses, etc. In
fact, the round roof construction has
been found highly satisfactory for hog
houses, hay barns, and even dairy
barns. However, when used for any or
these buildings, it is, of course, not
necessary to make the walls air tight,
as for the fruithouse, etc.
AS almost all of the work may be
performed by home labor, and any
sound rough lumber may be used the

The significance of the proposed union

Of their return.
Meanwhile the millions from below
are pouring through Cordova in sup
plies and materials and cash for the
forcing through of the railroad to the
famous Bonanza mine and neighbor-
ing properties in the region around the
head Of The Chitina river. The build
ing of this road is one of the most
daring railroad enterprises since the
Rocky mountains were first penetrat-
ed. The Copper river valley, up
which the road must run, Is notorious
for its violent winter windstorms, its
shifting, uncertain. silt falls; racing
vagabond streams; deep snow; rocky,
slide secured canyons and advancing
glaciers The river itself, the only
large stream emptying from the Alas
kan interior to the southwark, is q
turbulent, silt laden. ice bearing tor
rent in which no man can swim twen-
ty strokes. At one place it runs be-
tween great living glaciers that dis
charge millions of tons of ice into its
current each day of the summer
months, and here the railroad must
run too.

Cordova. Since then construction has
been pushed forward with almost un-
