LUMBER AND COAL.
WE MINISTER, ND

a good way to prevent hens from
oNerturning their drinking vessels,
is to punch hole in the side-near the
top of a tin pail or old tomato can
and hang it up on a. nail driven into
the woodwork Of the chicken house
about six inches from the ground.
Be sure there are no sharp edges to
the can, or that the head Of the nail
does not protrude more than half an
inch.
Most Of the methods Of breaking
up" hens from sitting are cruel, and
tire and distress the innocent hens
who are not to blame for their in
stinct. The kindest way is the fol-
lowing: When 1T IL necessary to
stop the inclination, place the hen in
nice clean coop, alone, with fresh
grass, and all the fresh meat cut line
that she will eat The meat immedi-
ately increases the egg nourishment,
and while the hen is having really
good time, she il fast preparing her
self to commence laying eggs. II
will take but two or three days before
she forgets all about sitting, having
other affairs to attend to.-From

Temperature and Ventilation.

As related to schools, these are
most important matters and always
need daily and hourly attention.
During the extremely cold weather
the question very naturally arises.
when is a schoolroom warm enough
without being too warm?" LII pro-
pounded to body Of teachers, the
answers would vary ten degrees OF
more, depending largely upon the
physical vigor, the temperament, und
the habits of the individuals. Those
who have become habituated to an
indoor temperature, in winter, OF 70
or 80 degrees, will feel uncomfort-
able when sitting In room where
the thermometer marks So or 70 de-
grees.
While there will always be differ
ences OF opinion on these matters
and cases that need special treat
ment, here are a. few good general
rules to follow that are approved by
some Of the best authorities on this
subject:
1. Temperature Of a schoo1room
should be kept at 65 or 70 degrees
a. German authority says the right
temperature is Sc degrees.
3. Temperatures above 70 or be-
low 81 are to be avoided i'm the
schoolroom.
8. When the air is bad and 1t is
too cold to leave windows open, they
should be thrown open for one OF
two minutes between Rotations
When this is done children should
be given some form OF physical exer-
cises.
4. No cold drafts should be al
lowed to blow upon children seated
i'm the schoolroom.
5. Fan ventilation is considered
the best, but even with that system
it il well to throw open the windows
for a few minutes two or three
times during a half days session.
6. Superheated air Is always in
furious and should be avoided

Why Men Die Y0ung.

What Is needed by most men who
have passed the middle age limit ia
more physical exercise Their young
er days have as a rule constituted a
period of physical activity. If their
occupations have not supplied suff1-
cient activity they have danced or
rowed,or ridden on horseback or run
races, or in some way found a meth
Cd OF producing a considerable amount
of exercise, and this has developed
a surplus of reserve energy which il
maintained while continuing this &C
tivity, but after they have grown in
to middle life, and through the press
of business or an inclination to yield
to the temptation to give more OF
their time to some other sort OF pleas
ure, they neglect the physical exer-
else that they have been accustomed
to, and as consequence this re
serve force il drawn upon to meet
the requirements Of an active intel
lectual force, and in few years this
becomes exhausted and death il the
natural result.
AT the age Of 60 or IS any normal
man should be at his best in both

strength, and most men can be II

PRIMARY BILL PROVISIONS.
Gives Voters a Say-State Convention
Elects National Delegates These
Are Pledged by People.


Elects National Delegates These
Are Pledged by People.
The provisions OF the Presidential
Primary Bill, passed by the Maryland
Assembly, provides:
Any candidate for Presidential
nomination may have his name placed
on the ballot by the payment to the
Supervisors Of Elections Of $40 for
each county and each legislative dis
trict of Baltimore city.
The names of candidates must be
arranged in alphabetical order and,
i'm addition, there must be box in
which a. voter may vote for an III
pledged delegation.
Contests will be made for delegates
to the State convention, which, in
turn, will choose the delegates to the
National Convention. These latter
delegates will be pledged in accord
ance with the vote Of the people.
The county and legislative district
unit il retained n the bill.
In order for al candidate for Presi-
dent to secure the 16 votes OF Mary
land i'm the National Convention he
must carry enough counties and leg
islative districts to get control Of the
State convention, which will be com
posed of 129 members.
The convention will elect the four
delegates in addition to the
delegates representing the Congress
sional districts.
IF candidate should secure control
Of the convention but lose Congress
sional district, the delegates repre-
senting the district he lost would also
be pledged to vote for him.
While the law IL not all that might
be desired, it Is regarded as a dis
tinct step forward. The first election
under it will be held next May.
The Senatorial Primary bill pro
vides that candidates for the Sem tor
ship may have their names printed on
the regular ballot. Men who vote for
a Senatorial candidate must vote the
straight ticket Of his party for mem
bers of the Legislature, otherwise his
vote on the Senatorship will nor be
counted. He cannot vote for Republi-
can members OF the Legislature and
a Democratic Senatorial candidate, or
vice versa. The bill also provides
that ballot overmarked for United
States Senatorial candidates shall not
be rejected except for Senatorial can
didateS.

STANDING BY HIS SERGEANT
General Gibbons Makes Good Promise
Given to Young Private Whom
He Wished to Promote.

II. 3. Armstrong was private In
company u OF the Sixth Wisconsin.
He was a tall, well built, vigorous
young man, and when Capt. John Glib
bon Of battery 3, Fourth United States
artillery, called for volunteers from
the Second, Sixth and Seventh Wis
consin, to fill up his company, Arm
strong went from company p. Ills
fine appearance and soldierly bearing
soon attracted the attention OF Cap
tain C+ibbon, writes Lieut. Col. U. O..
Watrous in the Milwaukee Sentinel
z couple OF months after 10 had join
ed the battery Captain Gibbon sent
70 Armstrong and informed him that
The was going to make him corporal
But said Armstrong. Captain
Gibbon, don't want to b. corporal
T don't want promotion"
"I did not call you here to ask
whether you wanted to Be corporal
whether you wanted promotion OF
not; 7 called you here to inform you
that had decided to make you q nom
commissioned officer ln this battery"
you will excuse me, Captain Glib
bon, but repeat that I don't want to
be noncommissioned officer r. this
battery You have men here who have
been with five or ten years, and
they would make 1t very unpleasant
for me were I, recruit, placed over
them"
Never mind that I Will tell you
what you can always do. III you get
into any trouble with the men or any
one else, If you have the right on your
side, and they demand to know why
you do so and SO, you can tell them
that you do ii by order OF John Glib
bon, and I will back you every time
When Armstrong returned to his
tent he was corporal in battery 3.
BY July, 1852, Gibbon was briga-
der general and commander OF the
brigade in which battery p served. q
portion OF the brigade with part OF
battery B was sent out from Fred
ricksburg, toward Orange courthouse,
on raid. On the way back the troops
went into camp for the night, and Ser
geant Armstrong, who had been pro
NOTED, took possession Of barn and
had got fairly settled when some OF
the staff and General Gibbons order
lies came and ordered him out, saying
that they wanted the barn for theil
horses Armstrong fatty refused tc
obey the order OF the lieutenant who
gave it. The lieutenant then hur
ried away and brought the adjutant
general Of the brigade. Still Arm
strong refused to 60. That woke uI
the adjutant general and he said:
"Sir, by what right do you refuse TIC
obey my orders?"
by the right, sir, given me By John
Gibbon, who commands this brigade,
was the prompt and firm reply OF this
farmer boy, who had become an Inn
portant factor r. the handling of one
OF the batteries made famous in the
great war The adjutant general re
turned to Gibbon for new authority
and told him what the sergeant had
said

General Gibbon.
