NEW MINISTER Tp PORTUGAL diit % Wk^mL, sal. Since then the affairs of the American legation at Lisbon have been conducted by Mr. Lorillard, secretary of the legation. At the state department it is declared that the appointment of Mr. Boutell to the Portuguese mission involves no change in the status of the dip loma! ic representative of this government at Lisbon, and makes no change in the diplomatic relations between the United States and the new republic. Ac cording to this statement, Mr. Boutell will continue in the same relationship to the provisional government of Portugal as the charge d'affaires whom he succeeds. Several members of the diplomatic corps maintain that the appointment of the new minister to Portugal is, to all intents and purposes, an official recognition by the United States of the new republic of Portugal, regardless of the view of the state department officials on that point. SILENT MAN OF THE SENATE that is all. It Is not seriously believed that Mr. Crane can walk through a door without opening it, and yet the faculty he has of appearing suddenly, noiselessly and unexpectedly in places where there has been no sign of him an instant before, almost invites the conviction that he is more an apparition ,than a man and a senator. When the clerk of the senate starts to call the roll, Mr. Crane is not In the chamber, and yet when his name is reached—and it is only a short way down the list—his voice answers "Here." Senators turn to look, and he is gone! Perhaps the swinging door leading to tLe cloakroom is still gently oscillating, if so It is the only sign that Mr. Crane's corporeal body had been there a before and that his voice did not come thrbugh the skylight MAYOR IS OUSTED BY WOMEN The campaign was a bitter one. Half the women of Seattle who were en franchised In November qualified as voters by enrolling their names and to them is due the fact that In the recent election the majority of 3,300 given to Gill a year before was reversed and his opponent, George W. Gilling, was elected by a plurality of 6,231. The number of women registered exceeded 20,000.

He succeeds Henry T. Gage of Ixis Angeles, Cal., who recently re signed the mission because of ill health and to look after his private interests in southern California. Mr. Gage was appointed minister to Portugal in December, 1909, and was in charge of the legation at Lis bon when the monarchy of King Man uel was overthrown and the republic of Portugal proclaimed in May, 1910. He returned to the United States soon after that event, and never has been personally accredited to Dr. Braga, provisional president of Portu- The Rilent man of the United States senate is Winthrop Murray Crane of Massachusetts. Mr. Kean, Mr. Penrose and Mr. Wetmore could not be called babblers, but they are noisy and disorderly compared to Crane, and their economy of spcrc.h becomes wasteful prodigality meas ured by his standard of conservation. Crane would prefer to talk with his hands If he could make himself under stood that way. The Massachusetts senator hates any kind of a racket. One could not imagine him banging a door, wearing squeaky shoes or sum moning a page by clapping his hands. No sound heralds his approach as he com«! down the senate corridor. He does not walk, he glides about. When nor gliding he is sliding, and when not sliding he is flitting. The only thing disturbed when Crane comes into the senate or goes out Is the atmosphere—he makes a slight draft, The women of Seattle, Wash., exer cising their political power for the first time, recently ousted from office Mayor Hiram C. Gill and elected as his successor George W. Dilling. While the women did not accomplish this work alone, they were in a large measure instrumental in bringing It about, so much so that the result would have been different had they not voted. Gill wis elected mayor of Seattle a year ago by a majority of 3,300. Women were then denied the right of suffrage, but in November were clothed with that power. Almost from the start Gill's administration came in for sharp criticism. As soon as the woman suffrage amendment to the constitution was adopted last November the move ment to "recall" Gill under a provi sion of the city charter and elect a successor to serve the unexpired term took form and the women entered Into the campaign with enthusiasm. One of the leading negroes of the country Is William Henry Lewis of Boston, who was nominated by Pres ident Taft to bo assistant attorney genernl of the United States.

THURSDAY, APRIL 6, 1911 MANNER OF CONSTRUCTING PRACTICAL SHEEP HURDLES Great Objection to More General Use of Devices Seems to Be Their Liability of Blowing Over— Materials to be Used. The great objection to the more gen eral use of sheep hurdles seems to be their liability to blowing over. I sub mit illustrations of some that offer less resistance or are better fortified against the effects of the wind, writes Hichard H. Mitchell in the Country Gentleman. Fig. 1, while rot strictly a movable hurdle, is, nevertheless, considered as such, and is the one in most com mon use. I can only give measure ments from memory, but should say that they were 10 feet long anil 5 feet high when set up. The figure shown is made of sawed stuff, but they are more often made of split saplings; the construction, however, is precisely the same. Hoies are ruade with a bar, and they aro set end to end and pinned together at the top These, like those supported on the A crutch, form a perfectly straight fence, which is not so proof against the force of the wind as one built zig-zag or worm fashion. In Fig 2 1 have shown two panels that are intended to be set up in this IP] I 3 hi 4 manner. The left-hand end of panel b slips in the right-hand end of panel a, and a section of the fence is shown in Fig. 3. These panels are supposed to be 10 feet long and 4 feet high, and the lumber 1 by 5-inch stuff, but these dimensions can be varied to suit the idea of the user. With these di mensions, however, the distance be tween the end uprights on panel ought to bo 11 inches. On panel a the end uprights ought to be 15 inches from either end. This ought to make the fence worm about 4 feet. As can be readily understood, more or less worm will be given to the fence by moving the second upright from either end in panel a. A panel using wire instead of lum ber seems desirable, and In Fig. 4 I have shown one that seems to me the most desirable, as combining the great- Fig. X est strength with the i«ast surface, and with the surface low. The panel, as there shown, can bo used on the A crutch. Fig. 5 shows It modified, to meet the requirements of a worm fence. By substituting a post in the place of the end uprights, you have the Fig. 1 forms. In Fig. 5 you will notice that I am not satisfied with cleats, but have Introduced a bar sliding in a slot on the front side of the end upright and on the back side of the second up right. This makes a complete lock, and seems to me quite essential on that style of fence. I should also rec omend the same device on the board Flu 3. panels, as on uneven ground one end might spring up and allow the panels to separnte. Of course on this skeleton any kind of wire can be used. Personally, I would not uso barbed-wire of any sort ns a gift. The illustration Is intend ed to show a two strand twisted wire, placed six inches apart, which is much WHERE WOMEN DRAW THE PLOW ft*. ft"i i tjfik ; •ifNrm! 112 AN ?

Tin ltu> iair ><t tie lit tiling, s according to tlnlr run tmn In their nathe land and when ] there ar tot enough hoi mi to draw closer than it Is used on longer stretches, but that number of wires seems to iue about right for a good job. They might be placed closer at the bottom and wider at the top, per haps. That hurdle (Fig. 4) made with 4-foot uprights and 14 feet from end to end of upright, would weigh about 05 pounds, and cost about as many cents for material. The cost of the HsUsT u all-board one would not be much dif ferent, and it would weigh 40 pounds more. As to manufacture, I should say, as has already been suggested, that pret ty close to where they are to be used would be the best place to make them, as one freight on the material would be saved. Machinery does not enter very largely Into their construction; so nothing could be saved In that way. It ought not to require any great skill to saw up boards and nail them together, and also stretch wire on them, if that form was desired. In drawing these hurdles, I have allowed the center uprights to come down as far as the others; In prac tice, it might be found better to make them shorter, especially if they were to be set up on uneven ground. The diagonals in Fig. 4, being on opposite sides of inch uprights, will of course be an inch apart where they cross. I should not fill this in, but draw them together in nailing, as it will make the frame all the stronger. Hemlock is probably the best material for making these, and it would undoubtedly last enough longer to pay to have It dress ed. If ordered in carload lots, enough would be saved in freight, to pay for the dressing. If the ends of the up rights that stand on the ground were dipped in hot coal tar, they would probably last as long as the rest of the panel. Fig. 6 shows an iron that I think would be a great help In clinching the nails. A slot Is cut in the end of a flat piece of Iron, so that it will slip easily on the nail, and it is bev eled from the slot to either edge. By slipping this on the nail, the end can be bent over at more than a right angle. The Iron Is then slipped back, as shown in the Illustration, and the nail bent over and driven into the wood, as shown to the right. For fencing stacks and turning corners, both ends of the panels would have to be alike, instead of reversing, as shown in the cut. If this fence should prove reasonably wind-proof, It ought to solve a large problem in fence ecoh oiny, as very much less fence would be needed if the fence could be e.'i*ily moved from place to place as occasion demanded. It would be absolutely wind-proof around a stack if lacked with the slid ing-bar, and would have the advantage of being movable when the ground was frozen. Choking on Oats. Some horses eat so greedily that they become choked on oais. We have one that troubled us in that way, so we often had to send for a veterina rian, who inserted p. tube down her throat to dislodge the grain, says a writer in an exchange. he told us how to avoid the trouble in this way: He advised us to place a dozen or more smooth stones, the size of a small hen's egg, in the feed box. tak ing care to have them well distributed through the oats. This compels the horse to eat less greedily, as he must eat carefully to avoid biting on the stones. We had no further trouble as long as we owned the horse.

EYES WOULD BURN AND STING "It is just a year ago that my sis ter came over here to us. She had been here only a few weeks when her eyes began to be red, and to burn and sting as if she had sand in them. Then we used all of the home reme dies. She washed her eyes with salt water, used hot tea to bathe them with, and bandaged them over night with tea leaves, but all to no purpose.- She went to the drug store and got some salve, but she grew constantly worse. She was scarcely able to look in the light. At last she decided to goto a doctor, because she could hardly work any more. The doctor said it was a very severe disease, and if she did not follow his orders close ly she might lose her eyesight. He made her eyes burn and applied elec tricity to them, and gave her various ointments. In the two and a half or three months that she went to the doctor, we could see very little im provement. "Then we had read so rfJuth how people had been helped by Cuticura that we thought we would try it, and we cannot be thankful enough that we used it. My sister used the Cuticura Pills for purifying the blood, bathed only with Cuticura Soap, and at night after washing, she anointed her eyes very gently on the outside with the Cuticura Ointment. In one week, the swelling was entirely gone from the eyes, and after & month there was no longer any mucus or watering of the eyes. She could already see better, and in six weeks she was cured."
