DESIGN FOR BUILDING
STRONG CONCRETE WALLS
How One Construct Without cracking-Has
Minimum of Material. But of
hmm

Some years ago there was published
IN the Gazette design for building
walls of concrete for farm use. The
.dea was of thin curtain wall, only
1 inches thick, carefully reinforced
and held by buttresses or concrete
posts at distances of about 10 feet
apart If there is much pressure
against the wall it will be better to
put these buttresses only 6 feet or
feet apart Since published my plans
I have seen several walls that had
been built in the manner described,
and / know that they are all right.
have also learned something of how
one can best do the work and have
no cracking at all, writes Joseph E.
Wing In Breeders Gazette. Bear now
we'll in mind that this, while it looks
like a wall, is really on the principle
of a concrete fence, the thickness of
the part between supports being but
4 inches, capped with 4-inch cap 16
inches wide. To the observer it is a
thick, heavy wall and it is immensely
strong The panels themselves need
not go into the earth, unless to pre-
vent washing under of water; then
they may enter II inches or more in
a thin sheet laid In very narrow
trench dug for the purpose.
To construct this wall first stretch
MP in the line of it very good fence
of wove nwire-any strong wire fen
cling will serve. Let it be as high as
you desire the wall, and stretch it
3
meshes, say 6-inch squares. Two strips
of hog fencing, one above the other
! tapping and tying together, will serve
well Now make some tight panels OF

CHAPTER xxx.
A Scrap of Paper.


For the first time in 20 years kept
my bed that day. Liddy was alarmed
to the point of hysteria, and sent for
DR.. Stewart just after breakfast. Ger

detectives. If Mr.. Jameson had been
there l should have told him every
thing, but / could not go to these
strange men and tell them my niece
had been missing in the middle of the
night; that she had not gone to bed
at all; that while 1 was searching for
her through the house 1 had met a
stranger who, when l tainted, had car
ried me into room and left me there,
to get better or not, as it might hap

And there was something else: The
man had met in the darkness had
been even more startled than /, and
about his voice, when he muttered his
muffled exclamation, there was some
thing vaguely familiar All that morn

Liddy watched for the doctor, 1 was

mould, it will be 12X12 inches on the
inside and will embrace the ends of
the curtain walls. Take -four paste
and cover the ends of the curtain
walls with heavy paper SO that they
will not adhere to the concrete of the
posts. This will let them continue to
contract and not crack by being held
rigidly You are now ready for the
cap. 1t also must be well reinforced.
The wire of the fence should come to
the top of the cap. II need not be
more than inches thick and may be
continuous. With the cap on, the wall
is complete, and while 1t has taken
the minimum of material it has i'm.
mense strength. It has also the ap-
pearance of a solid concrete wall.

it sets. 1t may later expand, also.
The holes for the posts should have
been dug for convenience sake before
the curtain walls were built. Put
them down feet and make them IL

Land for Goat Raising.

In general way all land In the
United States except very low.
swampy tracts are suitable for goat
raising. The feed that goats prefer
Is browse with small admixture OF
weeds and grass. and therefore those
tracts burdened with brushwood and
briers are especially desirable. The
fact makes 1t clear that In the colder
parts of the country 1t would be neces-
sary to provide some feed In winter.

A WORD ABOUT GOSSIP.

Gossip is not biectionable when it
is kind and well-meanng. TO live in
the world surrounded by neighbors,
taking no interest in their personal
ity, Indifferent to their success or
failure, and feeling no concern what
ever about them is to be extremely
selfish. The egotist may do this, and
in doing it will lose more than he can
gain. To talk cheerily and apr ecia-
lively about our friends. telling the
good things we know of them and re-
joicing in their good fortune. is a part
of common sense and Christian duty.
This is gossip which helps along in
making the world a happy place.
When, instead Of this amiable in
terest in other people, gossip takes on
the form of criticism, when incidents
are related with evident malice, and
motives are attributed to people with
out real foundation of intimate under
standing, gossip ceases to be tolerable
and becomes disgraceful. The best
rule for us to make is never to say
anything unkind about our neighbors.
1t is our privilege to be silent, If we
can truthfully say nothing in the ma
ture of praise. Margaret L. Sangster,
in The Christian Intelligencer.

NUMBER ONE.

81 always take care of Mum Der
One" said one of a troop of boys at
the end of bridge, some wanting to
go one way and some another.
That's YOU, out and out, cried one
of his companions. "Iou don't think
or care about any one but yourself,
you ought to be called Number One, "
''If did not take care of Number
One, who would, | should like to
know" cried he?
True, Nomber One was right. He
ought to take care of himself-good
care
But does not that smack little
of selfshness?" the boys ask. Mum
Der One thinks of nobody but himself"
Nobody but himself. that certainly
is selfish, and therefore wrong. Yet
Number One is committed to our own
care. What sort of care is the all-im-
portant question.
Take care of his habits. Make Num-
Der One persevering, self-denying
and fraugal Give him plenty of good,
healthy work to do, teach him how
best to do it, and keep him from loung-
ing and all idle company.
Take care of the lips of Number
One. Let truth dwell on them. Put a
bride in his mouth that no angry,
backbting tale shall come from it.
Let no profane or impure word escape.
Let the law of kindness rule his
tongue and all his conversation be
such as becomes a child of God
Take care of the affections and feel
ings of Number One. Teach him to
love God with all his heart and his
neighbor as himself; to care for 9th
ers, and share with Others to be
lowly in mind, forgiving, gentle, SYM
pathizing, willing to bear and forbear,
easily entreated, doing good to all as
he has opportunity.
This is the care to take of Number
one, and a rich blessing will he prove
to his home, and neighborhood, and
himself. Boys. you all have Number
One to take care Of: and responsible
charge it is.
