THE WHITE FARM.
It Deserved Its Name, and Il cheaply
Advertised Itself.

1t Deserved Its Name, and II cheapIy
Advertised Itself
During a vacation spent in the north
we were driven through most pros
porous country, lined with beautiful
tarmhouses.
Among Others we passed a white
farm. The house was white. the barns
Milk white cows were grazing in the
fields, and snow white chickens were
running upon the lawn. A huge white
dog lay upon the grass, and a white
horse, with a white harness and white
carriage, was hitched to a white post
by a white strap. The white graveled
drive was bordered with white rocks
A white fountain threw up white
spray, while white ducks floated upon
the water beneath.
Just as we drove by a lady dressed
in pure white, with white shoes. step
ped out Of the door and seated herself
In a white hammock.
The whole effect was most striking
and was an excellent example of adj
vertisement without expense. The cost
would have been the same II no atten-
ton had been paid to one color. There
was no need of giving a name to that
farm. 1t is known as the White farm
for miles around and is one of the
show places of the district
The same idea, of course. could be
carried out with other shades.-Pro
greSsive Farmer.

Oar Federal Architecture.

ltls declared that Uncle Sam is max
ing wonderful reputation for himself
as an architect, and 1t is said that he
has been been copied by other govern
mants.
For the first IS years Of our national
existence the public buildings were put
up in sort Of hapbszard way. Com
missions appointed by the Secretary of
the Treasury selected the architect of a
bmldirg and attended to all the de
tails OF the construction. The result
was that no fixed idea was carried
out, and our earlier public buildings
had no uniformity of design at all
Today it rs different, Uncle Sam has
bee me an architect on his own acount,
and he is designing his own buildings.
The result is that enc may now rec
ogn1ze the Federal buildings Of the
country on sigA1 By their uniformity Of
style. There is Just enough diversity
IN detail TO prevent. too much similar
ity.
In times past the government ruamey
the whole world over to tina haw idea.

AN INGENIOUS CooLIE.
How He Helped the Doctors During
Cholera Epidemic.

Cholera Epidemic.
In a life and death battle with a
cholera epidemic In Human province
China, in which an American medical
missionary was the leading figure, one
of the most serious difficulties was met
successfully by one of the mental hos
pital coolies.
Since every patient had to have from
one pint to several quarts of distilled
water with salt in 1t, the water could
not be distilled fast enough. For two
days the staff struggled along with
makeshifts while thinking up plan to
build still for little money without
the loss of time. This coolie solved
the problem. In one day and at cost
OF less than 50 be built a still which
later produced twenty gallons Of dis
TILED water every twenty-four hours.
The still was simplicity itself. For
cooking food the Chinese use large
fat. saucer-like pans made of iron.
With one OF these above and another
below the coolie made a drum of gal
vanized iron with hole in the side for
a trough. Into the lower pan hot wa
ter for boiling was poured Under
meath, a hot fire sent up a constant
steam vapor. The upper kettle was
kept cool by frequent changings of cold
water. The vapor from the lower ket
tie, condensed on the lower surface Of
the cool upper kettle, dripped off into
the trough, and filed bottle after bot
tie with distilled water.-World's Work

 The Admiral Evans, in tow of the tug Goliah, went south las night after clearing at this port. It will be remembered thta the Evans lost tail shaft and wheel some little time ago while away off to the West ward, and had to anchor and wait the coming Of the tug.
