Where Husbands Wear Wedding Rings.

The women in Brazil have not equal suffrage, but they have an equality with the men of their country which is not enjoyed by their North Ameri- can sisters. All Brazilian husbands are expected to wear their wedding rings as conscientiously as their wives, and generally they do so. The ring is a plain gold band, the same as that worn by wives in the United States. The women in Brazil unanimously are of the opinion that this is about the last word in equality.

but they are of sufficient size so that more animals can be housed. This section also has a concrete floor, gut ter and stalls of one of the materials mentioned.
 There are no posts in the now floor in this type of barn, leaving all the space for the storage of rough age The ventilator shafts are in the walls, leading from the foul air intakes in the stable to the ventilatorS on the roof.
 From this description of the interior of the barn it will be readily seen that the work of caring for the cows and horses can be done with the least amount of effort. The feed and litter carriers eliminate many steps in car rying both feed and manure, while the addition of fresh-water system will bring the water to drinking cups at each stall, or to a tank set at one end of the building.
 The advantage of building of hollow tile is twofold The air spaces in the tile provide insulation, which makes the barn warm in the winter and cool in the summer although the herd is housed little during the hot weather. It also is practically indestructible, and is tireproof. When fireproof or a fire-resistant roofing is used, there is little danger that the building will be damaged by flames.
 l The silo in connection with hollow tile barn usually is constructed of the same material. In this construction 1t is practicable to put water tower on top of the silo, which will furnish all the pressure needed to carry fresh wa ter to all of the farm buildings.
 It will be noted that there is an ] abundance of windows in the stable l wall. These permit the entrance of

Thinkina of Grandpa.

Right now is grandfather's most troublesome time of the year. His bald head is so inviting that the flies sim ply cannot resist the temptation of biting it. And this worries little Jane almost as much as it does grandfa- ther. The other evening she was in one of the neighbours gardens when the head of the house came out and began to sprinkle his cucumber vines with lime. What is that for?" she prompt ly asked.
 "To keep the bugs away" the neigh bor smilingly explained.
 Jane watched him a minute in si- lence and then said very sweetly: Gan 1 have little can of it? Grandpa could use it on his head.'

Thy feet are tottering and slow.

A lonely grave is made for thee;
The winds are chanting dirges low,
Upon the land and on the sea.

Thy days were blessings. every one.
More precious far than shining gold:
But unto others, thou foe

Relentless as the chains of woe
AS ruthless as the maddened sea.
Some will rejoice to know thee dead.
Others will mourn thee as friend;
Some will look back on thee with dread.
Others their praises to thee lend:
neither offer praise nor blame,

For unto me both Joy and pain
Your active hands gave lavishly.

From wounds the cruel Old Year made;
The veil of peacefulness draw DER

We cannot love tyrant king!
Our hearts refuse to loyal be
To one who takes delight to fling
Upon our hearts keen misery!
