Customs Of the Old English Court Of

Forest Rssardsrs.
The great forests Of England were
for centuries royal property. They
were kept from settlement and en-
enactment by the strictest laws and
the severest penalties. To enforce the
laws great number of officials were
appointed. There were warders, YER
derers, foresters and regarders, and
there were special courts to try cases
Of trespass, poaching and like onenses.

firmly on the memories of those who

"The regarders used to take survey
Of the forest every third year, and in

Story Of Harriman's First Purchase Of
Railroad.
One morning in the early eighties
Hartman walked into his office and
without any previous warning an
nounced the purchase of his first rail-
road.
"Where'd you get the money for it,"
asked his partners.
"Never mind; I got it," said Harri-
man.
The road was the sodus Bay and
Southern, running from Lake Ontario
to Stanley, N. Y. It was thirty-four
miles long and owned two crippled To-
comotives, two passenger cars and sew
en- freight cars.
1T isn't even a real good streak of

for him.
Hartman pulled out his map. He
was studying railroad maps even then.

THING THAT PUZZLED BILLY
Was Sure Elevator Moved, but Prog
ress Was Not Apparent to
His Eyes.

Billy was a qaint old darkey who
had come to the city for the first
time. One day his employer sent him
with a note to man whose Office was
on an upper floor Of skyscraper,
where every floor of the building was
arranged and finished like the first
one. Billy was directed by the oleva-
tor boy to enter the "lift," and he
would then show him to the office he
wanted, 1t was Billy's first expert
ence in an elevator, and he did not
rightly understand the nature or pur-
pose of it. On his return he describ-
ed some of his experiences to his en-
ployer.

Thought He Felt a Hop.

An Irishman went into public
house one day and asked for a mug of
beer in great hurry, stating that he
was SO dry that he thought he could
drink gallon. The publican told him
If he would drink it at one draught,
without taking the measure away from
his lips, he should have it for nothing.
,"Agraid," said Pat, land be the
howly Saint Pathrick I'll do that
same"
The landlord then drew a gallon of
into the measure, handed 1t to Pat,
who eagerly raised 1t to his mouth
and drank away until the measure was
almost perpendicular. The publican's
eyes followed its motion in astonish-
ment, and, looking in 1t, he exclaimed,
shaking the froth out:
"Pat, didn't you feel something go
ing down with the beer when you
drank it,"

1t Is well to remember that ven,
ttlatlng f1ues only work when their
air contents are at a higher temper
allure than the outside air. This means
that the air is expanded and is Of
lesser weight than an equal column Of
the colder outside air. Finally there
must be a material difference in TEN
perature, for the stable air is loaded
with moisture and products of ami
NAL combustion. There have beer
cases in northern winters of the metal
t1ues being almost entirely stopped by
condensed moisture deposited as ice
on the inside top end. The best re
suits are secured from many small In
let's, instead of the few larger ones

Moisture condensed during cold
weather is the cause of the corrosion
OF metal frames, and we suggest Civ,

is so much greater than of the glass

Pat Was More Than wlIIIno

A very pretty girl who recently re.

counter with an Irish cabby in Dub

hotel to do some shopping, but de.

city on a jaunting car. Arriving at
the first car stand, and having Sc
lccted the smartest looking vehicle,
she told the driver that she wanted
to engage him for the day" Pat,
never backward in paying homage to
beauty, earnestly replied: "Begorra,

TO DESTROY
GROUND HOGS
May be Poisoned With Wheat
Soaked IN Solution OF
Strychnine-A Easy
to Trap Them.
(By WALTER B. LEUTz.)

Ground hogs may be poisoned with
wheat soaked in solution of strych-
nine, but they can easily be trapped
at the entrance of their burrows. A
better way is to soak bit of moss or
hay with bisulphate of carbon and
place it well down into the burrow
covering the entrance with a heavy
cloth. The carbon being heavier than
air it penetrates to the bottom of the
burrow and kills the animals in
stantly. Great care in handling
bisulphate of carbon must be observed
because it is a deadly poison and
must never he inhaled The bottle
containing it should be kept tightly
corked until the moment it is to be
used.

For stables of ordinary width, the
common and most satisfactory form
of fresh air inlet is sash at each
stall hinged at the bottom, opening
inward, but with galvanized iron
pieces attached to the sides of the
window frame, so that the only air
admitted has to take an upward
course over the top Of the sash,
writes George F. Weston in the Coun-
try Gentleman. This prevents direct
drafts. A piece of chain stapled to
the top of the frame, with beheaded
wire nail projecting from the top of
the sash, allows the window to be
opened any number of links. The free
edges of the metal side plates are
turned upward SO as to make a stop
that prevents the windows from fall
ing open too wide.
There is no system Of ventilation
that will automatically meet all con
ditions of wind and weather, which
at times will call for the closing of
all windows to windward, and opening
of those on the sheltered side mere
crack In winter when the horses
come in hot, and, In the case of work
horses, cannot be rubbed quite dry,
1t will often save colds to keep every
thing tight until they are dry and
have cooled off. The stable shown in
the illustration is an extra wide one,
and to secure sufficient fresh air In
lets for the central double row Of
horses, 1t may be necessary to make
ducts from the outside to the open
ings in the ceiling over the center of
each passage, about Ia by 20 inches,
and marked l, l, in the plan. These
can be closed by board, with pin
sliding on bottom of inside. The cas-
lest way to make these ducts is to en-
close between two ceiling joists, or
If this cannot be done, make as at
B on hay floor above.
The exhaust fiues for a stable of
this design should be three in num-
Der, about two feet six inches by
one foot six inches, extending from
bottom of manger clear to the roof.
Bach one connects with lateral fues
below manger, so as to tap eight
stalls, and the openings to each stall
should increase in size as they leave
the main f1ue, and be screened with
halfInch wire netting to keep out
rats. All main exhaust fues in sta
BILE should also have two or the oppo-
site sides made with door lust below
the ceiling, and two feet down, so that
this can be opened up against the
ceiling and take out all hot air in
summer. frequently the hay chutes
can be SO arranged as to serve also
for exhaust fiues by having a tight
fitting door at the hay floor, which
is only opened for feeding They can
be of galvanized iron as far up as
the ceiling of stable, but in such a
climate as Canada. where the upper
space is much lower in temperature,
