PAPERS FOR NOTHING.
THE NOVEL COMBINATION PRO
POSED BY A PARIS JOURNAL.
I.p (iniiloN' On'rr to tint Prominent Mor
clinnH of tlio IVt'iirli Capital Advan
tage ot tlio :m-uiiih How It Will
Work.
I heard only to-day of n novel combination
made by 1a Oaulois, n roynlist Catholic jour
nal, edited by tho famous Jew, Arthur
Meyer, ho who unfairly wounded Edmund
Drumont, author of "La Franco Juive," in n
duel, somo months ago. Tho intention of tho
paper is to economize for its subscribers nnd
nt the samo timo aid some charitable work.
The paor is to bo given for nothing; or, in
other words, tho subscription is to be paid by
tho merchants jmtronized by tho subscribers.
Le Oaulois starts on tho basts that n journal
Ls tho bond of union, tho medium of commu
nication, betweeu its readers nnd mcrcnntilo
houses. On ono side tho journal receives
money from advertisements, on tho other
from subscriptions, so that it is much simpler
to nsk tho merenntilo houses to pay tho sub
scriptions. In that case, readers will bo
nuxious to subscribo and mercantilo houses
anxious to pay tho largest number of sub
scriptions posiblo, ns each subscription rep
resents a patron. Lo Oaulois, therefore, has
n list of 500 prominent houses that sell every
thing from u jKiir of shoes to a landau, nnd
tho names of theso houses form a Llvro d'Or
golden book. To- each ono of theso mer
chants Tho Gnulois said: "Wo offer you no
ordinnry advertisements, nnd only nsk you
to allow your unuio to bo used in our columns
three times u week. So much tho worso for
us. If our readers pay no attention to tho
insertion, you owo us nothing. But if they
go to you if they buy so much tho bettor
for them. Then you will pay us tho price of
n subscription to Tho Gnulois for n length of
timo in proportion to tho amount of tho pur
chase." O
To their renders they said: "Rend our Llvro
d'Or. There you will find tho names of your
merchants. You will nlso find now names.
Whenever you havo n purchno to mako go
to ono of tho houses mentioned in the Livro
d'Or. Buy, nnd do not mention Tho Gnulois,
but take your receipted bill nnd scud It to tho
journal us payment for your subscription.
Tho Gnulois ncccpts this bill as n chock, and
sends an employe to tho house whero you
havo nuido your purchase for tho amount of
your suliscription."
ADVANTAGES OK T1IK SCIIKMK.
In this way tho subscrilier pays for his
newspapers without untying his purso strings,
nnd tho nierchnnt nrrnngos for his advertise
ment by paying tho subscription of his pa
tron. But if tho subscriber does not wish to
pay tho subscription with his roceipt, prefer
ring to pay as has been his custom, Tho Oau
lois offers to givo, in tho subscriber's name,
tho prico of his subscription to somo chnrl
tablo association. Thon thoy return tho ro
ceipt of tlw merchant nnd tho receipt of tho
charitable association.
This scheme seems to havo ninny advan
tages, nnd perhaps thoro is nothing unfavor
able in connection with it. As Tho Oaulois
subscrilwr does not nnuounco himself ns such
when ho buys, thero is no dnngcr that tho
merchants will increase their prices, and in
Paris nenrly nil those houses havo prices
plainly marked. Ono important question is:
How much must ono buy in order to havo the
right to a Gnulois subscription Tlio yearly
subscription is $11, and this represents 11 vo
ler cent, of tho purchase, so that $220 must
bo spent to allow for tho yearly subscription.
I ndd n table whioli explains moro fully:
1 Month. I a Months. I 0 .Months. I 1 Year.

Howovcr, ono is not obliged to purchaso
for this amount at ono time, and in ono house;

ns one pleases. An illustration, and I shall

Tho Duko of Edinburgh seems to havo
very meager fitness foiSiis position in tho
British navy. IIo recently had constructed
at grcut exjienso in tho Malta dock yard an
immense lioom, which was shipped on board
thoTemeruIro for conveyance to Argostoll,
as tho duko had conceived tho idea that it
would be n lino thing to placo this boom at
tho entrance of tho harbor thero and thou to
test tho powers of tho Polyphemus by mak
ing her burst it. Just as this crazy experi
ment was on the point of being tried it was
pointed out to the duko by somo ofllccrs who
aro moro practical than himself that if by
any chanco tho Polyphemus did not cut the
boom clean In two a ioarful catastropho
would be the result, So tho duko reluctantly
abandoned the idea. Tho boom was ono of
the largest and most olaborata that has ever
been teen, nnd it has now been returned to
Malta, whero, presumably, It will Ih sold for
a trlllo, being perfectly useless. Detroit

COVERING HAY STACKS.
How Hnjr In Itlrks Gun Hn Prntnctnd With
Hoards at Small Cost.
Iii ricks ton feet wido and twelve
foot high, between three anil four tons
of liny will bo contained in each rod of
length. On an nvorage, between oue
fourth and onc-hnlf a ton of this will
waste whuro the hav la mixed meadow
hay and clover, if left uncovered. This
I a los of ono to six dollars, accord
ing to the local prico of hay. In new
countries coar.o slough hay furnishes
a good covering or thatching to tow
out tho stack with, but slough hay U
passing nway before tho ditching
spade and improved grass seed, it is
often necessary to store the hay out
doors until barns can be aH'ord
od, or when an unoxpocted surplus is
harvested. Sometimes it is found
expedient to stack in the Held or
in the edge of a woodland pasture, to
be fed out without hauling to tho barns.
Tho writer lias used sixteou foot boards
to mako covers for ricks and found
tlioni economical. For a rick ton feet
wido. ten or twelve one-foot boards aro
necessary. Throe polos, or scantling,
livo or six feet long, aro used on oaeU
sido for rafters. Tho boards aro mere
ly tacked on lengthwise, beginning at
tlio bottom, lapping an inch to shed tho
water. Haftorscati be put in placo be
fnro tho boards are nailed on, or tha
.ide- of tho roof mav be raised in placo
after nailing the boards fast. Tho two
ides can lie fastened together at tho
ridge with pieces of foneo wire.
Top out tho rick so that tho
cover will have a good slant
on either sido. Where tho stacks aro
exposed to tho wind it is well to fasten
the covers to stakes in the ground with
wire. If tho nails are not driven quite'
down thoy can bo easily drawn whou
feeding, and tlio boards used for other
purposes or laid away until next hay
ing time. Tlio first cost of tho lumber
will be about three dollars for each six
teen feet in length, and should last
many years if it is at all proporly oared
for.
Near a small horso barn it was de
sirablo each year to build a round
stack of two or throo tons of hay in
addition to that contained in tlio mow.
To protect this during tho fall rains,
a cap was mndo of boards in
four parts. Tho angle of ench
triangular section at tho top was Some
what less than a right, angle, so us U
givo the four sides tlio slopo of a four
sided roof. Tho sections wero light,
and wero put in placo by tho man ou
tho stuck taking a ropo in either hand
attached to the opposite soctions nnd,
by the aid of the pitcher, lifting thorn
to the top, whero they woro fastened
together by moans of strong twino
wrapped around nnils. 'Jlio lower op
posite corners were also attached in
the same way. This cover made of
scraps of boards did servico several
years. Tho top of the stack of liorsu
liay was always in ns nice condition na
that in tho mow. Prairie Farmer.

A YOUNG BUTCHER'S LUCK
IIo WIiih SI 5,00 In Tlio IiOulNlan
Htuto Lottery.
" I want to hco a reporter," said nu
unusually happy-looking individual as
ho entered tho Chronicle Building. Ou
boing introduced to ono of the stair ho
commenced by saying that liiH namo
was A. J. TrcftH, and that ho lived in
IJutchortown. As thoro was a very
largo fire recently in that part of tho
city thoro was apparently no groat
reason for such unusual joy as that
manifested by Mr. Troftu. He, liow
over, wiih very anxious to cominuni
cato tho news of a godsend which had
fallen to him soon after he had boon
burnt out.
" I am tho follow. I won it. Just
bought ono tickot and got $15,000.
That's luck, isn't it? " said tho jovial
Trofts.
Thon it began to dawn upon tho re
poitor that ho was really in tho pres
ence of another ono of tho lucky hold
ers of a winning number of a Louisi
ana lottery prizo. Mr. Trcfts had
como down of his own frco will to toll
of his lucky vonturo.
"I could hardly behove my oyes
when I read that number," said ho,
"52,74!). I looked at my tickot, turned
it over and laid it down beside tho pa
per and compared it and thon I began
to think I wna tho luckiest man I over
mot. Just think, ono ticket, and all
that money for $1 1 "
"What aro you going to do now, Mr.
Trefts? " asked tho interviewer.
"I am going to extend my business
right away, for that flro nearly did for
mo. I didn't beliovo much in Tho
Louisiana Lottery before, and I just
thought to myself whon I bought tho
tickot, 'well, I'vo lest enough already,
this dollar will never bo misaod,' and
now you may bo euro I never atop
thinking how glad I was I bought it,
and so I thought I would drop in and
tell you about it." Sun Fratieiwo
