HEALTHY HOMES The sub-soil be-
reatb Louse should be raturaliy dry,
or IT should be made dry by land drain.
ing. TIE ground Aoor OF a house should
rot be below the level OF the land,
street or road outside. A site e1cavate''
On the side of hill. or steep bank, is
liable to be dangerous, as external
ventilation may be defective, and the
sub-soil water from above may soak
toward and bereath such houses. Mid
dens, cesspools and asE-pits, If at the
back, must also taint such base
msnts. The sub-soil WITHIN every base
ment should have layer of concrete
over it, and there should be full venti-
lation. Cesspools, cesspits, sinkholes.
drains, etc, should not be formed nor
he retained within house Easements.
The grounds round dwelling houses
should be paved, tagged, asphalted
covered with concrete, or be grave-ed.
Outside channels should be IN good
order, and be regularly cleansed.
House caves should be guttered and
spouted. SwilI tabs should not be
near doors or windows. Pigstyes should
ever be at a distance, and, where pigs
are kept, there should be rigid cleanil-
ness. Improperly keeping pigs has
caused more human sickness and de-
stroyed more human life than all the
battles the country has ever been en-.
gagged in. Garden plants should OF
course be in order. and properly cult
waited. Many houses, from the man.
sion to the cottage. are INV hoiesome
for some of the above reasons.

A T1swARE peddler called at house

change some OF his goods for paper

sack weighing ten or fifteen pounds.
and the peddler held it up on his spring

husband came out at this moment and
replied that he would not accept no
such weight. He knew there were at
least ten pounds in the sack, and he
didn't propose to be swindled. My

The Oriental I'quid gold and silver
will give to common plaster or iron
statuettes the resemblance TO solid
metal castings. This deception is
wonderfully accurate. One coating Of
the bronze liquid will transform an or
dinary plaster figure into one bearing
a perfect likeness to solid bronze. The
liquid gold affords magnificent decor
alton, converting PLAIN furniture into
the mighty ornamental. All sorts of
household articles can be richly Pilded,
and at very small cost, too. In repair
in gold frames and other gllded works
this process will render the most sur
prising results, The liquids are easily
applied with brush and can be effect
ually used by the most inexperienced.
They dry very quickly and have the
appearance of rich hammered gold.
