EBENEZER GRAY. He thought he was a Christian— Did old Ebenezer'Gray, He never missed church meetings And was always glad to pray. He did not let religion Hurt his business through the week. But on a Sunday morning He was righteous like and meek. He used to have a manner •That would make a clown feel -‘blue,” He used to chill his neighbors, And his home was chilly, too. But in the church on Sunday You could never find him late, And when it came to rooting In religion, he was great. He used to skin all comers Through the week, and liked the game; Yet claimed to run his business In the Master’s holy name. He never let the doctrine Used on Sunday, understand, Affect upon a week day Any deal he had on hand. Some people called him ‘ brother,” And great numbers called him names, The latter people being Those who fathomed all his aims. He died in proper season— Crosed unto another shore— And this is what St. Peter Told the fellow at the door: “While you were good on Sundays, Through the week. Eb. you were tough; Hence when I speak your sentence. Do not think that I am rough, Now you can spend your Sundays Here in heaven very well. But week days. Ebenezer, We're going to give you .” —St. J-Jseph Gazette

A UNIQUE CIRCULAR BARN.

Senator Goodwin of Warren County Erects the Only Circular Barn In the State. Warren County Sentinel: This county now has one of the most modern and up-to-date stock barns with silo ever built in the state of Indiana. The barn which has just been erected by Hon. Fremont Goodwine, on his farm in Pike township, is circular in form and is especially adapted to be used in connection with the silo on account of the shape and manner in which it is constructed. It will not require an extended explanation to convince the practical stockman of the many advantages contained in the plans, as the available floor space can be arranged to suit almost any conditions or requirements that individuals in other localities may require. The capacity of the barn is sufficient to afford feeding room, grain, silage and roughage for 180 to 2CO head of cattle, being designed for a farm of 300 to 500 acres. Owing to the manner of feeding it can be built more economically, capacity considered, than any other style of barn. There are I no posts, trees, girders or obstructions of any kind above the basement or first floor, the roof being self supporting. The heaviest timbers used in the barn are the floor joists, which as a rule are jonly 2xß or 2xlo, unless in a two--1 story barn where horses are kept lor loaded wagons drawn in, in which case the joists of course would be heavier as conditions would require. The circular hay track and carrier work admirably in this barn, but would not be needed in a two-story building. Various kinds of carriers are used in distributing feed and removing manure. The doors are made I circular, having sliding hangers Siding is put on vertically, owing to the manner of construction. The nail ties used are simply great hoops or bands and are made usually of two pieces Ix 4, spaced from thirty-six inches apart. Sill, story-plate and purlines are all constructed the same by using several pieces Ixs, 6,7, or 8 springing into position and nailing, the joints being broken systematically, and thoroughly nailed. The rafters and purlines are easily put in place, being usually marked on the back, showing where the sheeting is to be nailed to suit space shown to weather on shingles, and the lath are then nailed on, springing then to marks and nailing, so that they will all be in perfect circle and serve to shingle by,J nolining being required’ the top ends of shingles being the guide instead of the butts. The drive-way in this barn is cemented and has a graded gutter to carry off liquids into an immense cistern constructed to recieve the barn sewage. Galvan-, ized vent tubes are located about the silo and feedway to carryuout all foul air that might accumulate at the top of the barn. Fresn air inlets are provided, which insure plenty of fresh air in winter as well as in cummer The windows are provided with fly screens anil heavy canvas curtains or shades to darken the barn during the months of July, August and September, when flies are bad and pasture short. Cattle can thus be kept in comfort and get benefit of feed and care at a a time when is is usually difficult to keep stock from falling off instead of gaining in flesh. Thoughtful, up-to-date farmers are beginning to realize the neccessity of using the silo and having

some clover, rye, cow peas or sorghum to make silage to tide over the short pastures and protect their stock from the pesky flies. Mr. Goodwine is the first to adopt the plan in Warren county and, no doubt, the description of the circular barn, with illustrations given in this issue of The Sentinel will prove interesting to the many farmers who read the paper each week. The silo will hold 300 tons of silage and there is also more room for 300 tons of baled hay, straw or fodder. Mr. Goodwine informs The Sentinel that the barn will cost about §2,500, and that he thinks it will prove more economical in space and expenditure of money than a square barn. George Stump, of Williamsport, has the contract for building the structure and it is now nearly finished.

JASPER’S OIL FIELDS.

Monday's Indianapolis Sentinel. “The northern oil field in Jasper, Pulaski and White counties promises to develope into one of the best districts for lubricating oil in this part of the country, 1 ” said P. W. Arnold of Jasper county, who was in the city yesterday. “I do not believe the people of the .state know very much about it, as it is of comparatively recent discovery, but we will some day have a great industry there in handling this ’oil. The new’ field can never come into competition with the older and better developed field as our oil can only be used for lubricating purposes, while the other field produces illuminating oil exclusively. “Lubricating oil brings a better price in the market and it requires less preparation to make it ready for sale, so you see that the new industry promises well to start with. Then there is another advantage in that the wells do not have to be very deep. The oil is about 250 feet beneath the surface land much expense of drilling is thus saved when you remember that in the other fields they have to drill between 1,000 and 1,200 feet. The field has not been developed to any great extent yet. but companies have been formed for the purpose of sinking additional wells and within a few years I believe people will know as much about the lubricating oil field as they now do about the other oil districts.”

SOUTH DAKOTA RANCH AND FARM LANDS.

Granary 18x24, well built of good material; cattle sheds 30x200 ft: frame horse barn 16x30 with hay loft, round corral built of solid plank, wagon sheds and other out building. Several small ponds, 12 miles wire fence, 86 per aere. Pay 87 per acre and the owner will contract to put down artisian well and guarantee more natural gas and water than any ranch can take care of. We have a nmbuer of other improved ranches, from 800 to 3,000 acres in size, at $5.50 to S2B per acre, according to improvements, land and locality. Plenty of good raw land in Sully Co., at $6 per a.

No better place for speculation or for a man with a few hundred dollars to get a home of his own. Bear in mind that South Dakota's climate is excellent, her soil first class, and produces good crops, that she has a banner crop this year; a tremendous emigration is pouring into the state and the price of land is rapidly rising; that we are well acquainted with a good portion of the state. Excursions go Ist and 3d Tuesdays of each month, and we go when the excursions go. Go out and see it.

ALL OVER THE HOUSE

Artistic Schemes of Lighting the Principal Rooms of the House. Some of the most beautiful designs of old Sevres candelabra, fitted with representations of wax tapers, on the top of which the electric light appears, have been reproduced for drawing room use. For the writing table or wherever a soft light close at hand is needed nothing could surpass the lovely little statuettes of classical figures or Dresden shepherdesses holding the incandescent burner. Bronze or silver is often used for the copies of famous sculptures. For larger lamps oxidized silver, wrought in artistic hammered designs, is perhaps the newest idea, and Greek and Roman shapes are ffeely followed. Both govetable and charming are the copies of handsome silver sticks for one 1 ight or with, branches that are available for the dinner table. These require shades to provide the subdued light desirable, and never have they been so varied or so suggestive of effective “color schemes” in the decorative setting. Mauve shades are great favorites at this season, as they harmonize with the “market bunches” of violets which are always favorites when lilies of the valley and jonquils are in season. i

Wall Paper Novelties. Speaking of panels, they are great- ! ly in favor and may be made with i anything from narrow bordering to a hand molded plaster composition, i tinted to harmonize with the hand [ pressed panels, which it so delicatejly frames. They are for drawing : rooms. For a den we have this splendid new “hand printed crown hanging,” to use a trade term. It transforms a bare room into a thing of Turkish coziness and without the expense once necessary. For instead i of rich silks the scheme as far as ■ the side walls go is all carried out .in paper. The paper is oriental red i paneled off ami topped with a printled design in numerous oriental colj orings. Divans, with the necessary ■ cushions, and the delicate grillwork i arches (of the composition that, i' looks like carved wood) in the doors | and windows finish off most artistici ally this fascinating apartment. Lanterns and oriental hanging : lamps, together with some few ; pieces of furniture in the shape of ■ carved wood and red hangings, comi plete this fetching den. fashionable Table Crystal. i The smart hostess who would be the exponent of all that is new has j to look to her table crystal, for if ■ she would be up to date this must jbe touched with delicate tinting, and each of her guests must dri:.k | the sweetest nectar from the heart i of a flower, as flowers are the newest water and wine glasses fashioned. I The stand and the fine long stein are of the purest white crystal, and lit is only just where the blossom I that forms the bowl spreads its petals at the mouth that the color begins which soon merges into the deepest blue, violet, orange or green. In the case of the decanters, carafes and the larger glasses the flowers and leaves of decoration i trail up from the beautiful Carlsbad crystal that gives its name to the most fashionable of dinner table appointments. Rack For Plates and Cups. Au effective rack for u-c in the summer cottage and designed principally as a background for delft plates and cups is made of a fine piece of ash treated chemically until it takes a soft gray tone. The decoration consists of a water color design suggesting the sea with some gracefully outlined fishes swimming in the blue water amid the stems of the water lilies which appear at the top. The deep tint of the delftware shows to excellent advantage against this seascape. To Clean Flannel Blrnkets. Flannel blankets may be suecess- . fully cleaned by using borax and soft soap. Put two tablespoonfuls of borax and a pint of soft-soap into cold water enough to cover the blankets. When the borax am! soap i have become dissolved, put in the . blankets and let them stand over ' night. The ifext day nib them out, rinse them in two waters and hang diem to dry. Never wring them. Cock Cornstarch Enough. Cornstarch is a v ilimbfv food.b it lit rarely go's cooking enough take away the raw taste a <1 ila that are natural to it in the uncooked slate. Cornstarch pudding or the blancmange made from it i- objected to by many persons and particularly by children, to whom it would be, if palatable, a nourishing food. - Something Unique. A new model for small dressing bureaus has both ends raised box fashion, one of them ending at the front in a newel post effect, bearing a lamp of classic design.
