A fashion now on the crest OF the wave
OF public favor is that Of wearing jewelry
that apparently belonged to ones great
grandmother. However. the jewelry itself
may have been made yesterday! For these
charming antiquities are merely copied
from old portraits. The copying, how
ever must be accurately done. and to this
end the firm undertaking the work Of re-
production sends to view the picture from
which the ornament Is to be modelled not
merely the artist who makes the sketch,
hut the workman who Is to manufacture
the Jewel. As It Is essential that the exact
impression be taken, the workman who Is

where they are 10 feet from the feed
rooms to the south front. This Is
done to allow for driving in a load
of hay in stormy weather. There are
IS cow stalls, three bull stalls, two
hospital stalls and three calf pens.
The horse barn has eight single stalls
and five large box stalls; the sheep
barn has six sheep pens 11x21 feet
each, and two lamb pens; the hog
house has IL pers ski feet each, also
a feed and killing room 15x29 feet.
The south front has a tool room,
engine room and a watchman's room.
Stairways are located IN both north
and south ends of the barn. The feed
rooms for horses and cows are so ar
ranged that the silage may be dropped
down the small chute in front of the
silos The door of this chute is al
ways closed, so that no odors may en-
ter the cow barn. A small gas en-
CINE Is used for elevating the ground
feed to six unprecedented bins, To-
Gated over the feed rooms. The feed
is drawn from the bins through small
spOuts as wanted.
Bins for storing feed for hogs and
sheep are located over the sheep and
hog barns. All feed is handled with
feed carriers, and the tracks run
through all parts of the barn. All

feet deep, are built with 2x4-inch
studs, set IL inches on centers; 5sx6-
inch wooden hoops are bent around
the outside, and are doubled, one be-
tween each door and one in the CEN
ter of each door. The doors are 24x30
inches square, with 12-inch spaces be-
tween. The hoops are covered with
1x2-inch strips, and treated in the
same manner as the walls of the barn.
The inside walls of the silos are lined
with hard-burned paving brick laid in
a thin cement.
All floors of the barn are of cement,
with wood Stats for the horses. The
horses have cast-iron cutters, but the
cows have both the cutters and the
managers made of cement, and the
managers so arranged that they may
be flooded with water. The floors are
all trapped with drain traps, and the
entire barn may be washed with a
hose in a short time. The horses are
watered at the cement trough located
north of the east feed room, and the
hogs and sheep are watered with q
hose The barn loft is supported on
three-inch gas pipe, and all COW stalls
are Of wood, with wire guards on top.
This barn Is doubtless too large for
many of us, but there are many things
to be learned from it.

From "The Blue Bird"

In Maeterlinck's blue Bird" little
Ty1tyl goes to some far-off heavenly
place to learn that love abides with
him at home. There he meets Mother
Love. He says he wishes to stay with
her always, where she looks so beau
tiful to him. She answers: But it's
just the same thing; I am down be-
low, we are all down below. .
You have come up here only to real
ize and to learn, once for all, how to
see me when you see me down be-
low. Do you understand, Tyl-
tyl, dear? You believe your
self in heaven; but heaven is wher-
ever you and kiss each other. +.

Successful Crop Is One of Best
Paying in Its C1ass--ExceIIenE
Market for Both Grain
and Straw.

A successful rye crop is one of the
best paying in it's class. One acre
harvested this season weighed 5000
pounds before thrashing and yielded
1000 pounds of grain which we sell at
three cents per pound for seed and
for making rye -four, says the Balti-

The stock barn herewith illustrated
was planned for Missouri stockman,
writes J. e. Bridgman in the Orange
Judd Farmer The rather odd shape
was adopted for several reasons:
First, to have all the stock under one
roof; second, to keep each department
separate from the other departments;
third, to reduce to the minimum the
amount of labor required for feeding
the stock; fourth, to save and eco
nomically use every pound of manure
The floor plan Of the structure, is
34x160 feet from east to west, and
34x134 feet from north to south, and
the two ellis for hogs and sheep are
each 30x65 feet The walls are 10
feet to the caves, and the roof is self
supporting, which leaves a clear
space through the entire loft for
storing hay, etc. All partitions are
eight feet, except over the south front,

They were riding into town in a

his copy of the Evening Pif1e, from
which he eventually glanced with a
superior smile. II always read what
Betsy Bustuff has to say in her "Tw1-
light Twaddle' column" he said. "She
generally hits us off pretty well, but
she isn't always right. Now, this eve
ming, she gets on the subject of elope-
ments. She says Opponents never
turn out happily. l don't agree with
her." Neither do t. said the man
who had been occupied with his own

CHARITY AND CHEWING GUM
Disparity That Hardly Seems Credit
Able to the Generous instincts
So. of the Race.

According to a statement before a
meeting of the Women's Foreign Mis-
sionary society of the Presbytery of
Washington an interesting statement
regarding the money spent for chew
ing gum and that given to charity was
made. The! speaker was Miss Mary
w. Kerr of Harrisburg, Pa, in connec-
ton with the topic of "Frenzied FL
nance in Missions" In urging the So
ciety to be more liberal in its contri-
buttons to charitable work, she said:
For every $4,000 contributed to
charity, $4,000 is spent for chewing
gum"
The statement passed almost un-
noticed except by few, who saw the
pertinence and logic of the remark.

INSURGENTS UNRECOGN|zED
As PARTY BY DEMOCRATS

Washington, D. c., April 6.-The in
surgents are still an integral part of
the republican party, at least in the
opinion of the democratic majority of
the house. This fact was brought out
Wednesday in the fight over the ad-
option of new rules for the house. The
insurgents asked the privilege of in
Producing amendments of their own,
but were told any amendments they
might have would have to be incorpor.
ated in those of the regular republi-
cans.
President Taft's message urging
Canadian reciprocity was read in both
houses. The fact that its contents
were known in advance robbed it OF
any interest. The senate adjourned
as soon as the message was read and
viii mark time" till the house does
something.
The house took up at once the adop-
ton of its new rules. limiting general
debate to four hours, to be equally di
vided, and granting the privilege OF
offering only one substitute set OF
rules.
The insurgents pleaded for the priv
ilege of separate amendments, but
were told by the democratic leaders
that their amendments would have to
be included in the proposed republi
can substitute.
The rules offered by the democrats
and which will be adopted, provide
comparatively few changes. They pro
vide for the election of committees in
stead of their appointment by the
speaker, and enlarge the membership
of several of the committees. Six OLD
committees are abolished
The principal change is rule which
permits germane legislation on an ap
preparation bill when it tends to re
trench expenditures. The democrats
continue calendar Wednesday," ant
enlarge the rule for the discharge 0,

As soon as the house was called tt
