Notes on House Building.

A reception room may be the one room in
the house which is always in order for re-
celving calls. The parlor has its outgrowth
from the social life OF the time, and its use in
the larger entertainments which go there
with. A reception room may be small: q
parlor is essentially a large room.
A dining room should be q long room. say
not less than II feet, and from 10 to 1917 feet
in width in moderate cost houses. Such a
shape conforms to that of the table.
A CRATE fire is out of place in a dining
room. 1t is always too warm on some ones
back. Ii a CRATE be placed in the middle of
the wall space, it limits the availability of
the room to the extent of its projection from
the wall.
Ceilings are lower than in times past be-
cause of the rational spirit in modern build
ing which has such high regard for utility.
A high story is expensive to build, furnish
and decorate, to say nothing of the warming
of the house in winter. Stories from nine to
ten feet i'll height are as common as those of
eleven and twelve of a few years ago.
There is no reason why the second story
should be lower thar the first story. If any
difference it should be higher. The bedrooms
are occupied constantly for a longer period
than the other rooms of the house, and usu-
ally are not provided with the means Of
natural ventilation which belong to the rooms
of the lower floor.
The kitchen pantry is the proper place in
which to place the refrigerator. 1t should
have a zinc drain 20 carry the drip water to
the outside of the building, not to the sewer
or drain, as is sometimes done. Such a con-
nection may contaroinate the contents of the
refrigerator. LOUIS II. GIBSON.

The back hall is reached by side porch, and
the bathroom is placed so that any one COM
ing into the house can step into bathroom,
and prepare the toilet before entering the
main house; the second story rooms are full
height, and there is a well lighted attic
above. A laundry is provided in the cellar
also provision is made for the storage of fuel,
etc. Cost, $500.
There are no blinds on this house, and some
hold that outside blinds are neither useful nor
ornamental. They are forever rafting on
the outside and always in the way of cur
tains on the inside, and where we nave null
ion windows, they must be kept closed or
they are in the way: and if we use outside
blinds, they are forever in the way of adding
a bit of detail here and a hood or a balcony
there, which would add greatly to the effect
OF the whole. Rolling Venetian blinds should
be used; they slide up and down and are out
of the way, and will cover the whole or q
part of the window, as required; but these
are a little more expensive, you say, than

pulling q cord, or, better still, slide it with
rings on a bar.
The shades should fit the window, and
hang fiat and straight, or nearly SO. The ma.
terial may be cheap and coarse, and offers an
excellent opportunity for embroidery, where
1t would show to good advantage. Rich
browns are the most available colors, which
might be either coarse jute cloth or burlaps.

which may be used, according to taste and

The rooms on the first floor have all open
ireplaces, each being provided with a neat
ash mantel. The library is an excellent room,
with good front and side views, and the YER
anda is reached in an easy manner by win
dows from this room, making it a pleasant
retreat in hot weather.
There is a variety of outline in the exterior

ance of stability and firmness, the construc-
ton being perfectly sound.
The upper sashes are filled with stained
glass, all round the sash being very small
lights of different colored glass, and the CEN
ter light has the figure of a flower in white
on blue ground. This manner of treating
windows must be seen to be appreciated, and
no blinds are used except on the lower sash,
and when the blinds are closed it gives a
mellow tone to the light of the interior.

During the recent visit of Jesse r.
Grant and Charles J. Whimple to So
nora, Mexico, on business they were
much struck with the sight of a terraced
mountain. 1t is located about fifty miles
southwest of Magdalena.. The mountain
is circular in form, about three-quarters
Of a mile in diameter at the base and is
terraced from base to peak. The height
of the terrace is from 10 to 12 feet, and
in many places is built of solid masonry.
At many other places it is cut out of
the solid rock. The roadway is from
fifteen to twenty feet in width, starting
at the base of the mountain and coiling
itself, spiral like, to the peak of the
mountain, which is not less than 1900
feet higher than the base. The cost of
this terraced road must have been enor-
o The remarkable feature of this
wonder is the state of its preservation.
Here and there the masonry has yielded
to the influences of time, but these are
exceptions.
AT the base of this terraced mountain
is a mighty door which has tho appear
ance of having been hewn out of a solid
rock and weighs 100 tons or more. 1t
is placed at the mouth of what appears
to be the entrance to this terraced mount
ain. Here another query is suggested.
Does this door to the mountain open the
way to mineral treasure or to the shrine
of ancient religious devotees?-Tucson

As manufacturers abroad claim that
the supply of ivory is too small to meet
the demands of industry and art, an ex-
tensive industry has arisen in France to
supply an artificial substitute for natural
ivory. Until recently the substitute
used has been obtained by injecting
white wood with chloride of lime, under
strong pressure. Within a short time,
however, it has been established that a
substitute may be prepared with the
bones of sheep and waste pieces of deer
and kid skins.
The bones are for this purpose macer-
ated and bleached for two weeks in
chloride of lime, hen heated by steam
along with the skin SO as to form n fluid
mass, to which are added u few hun
dredths of alum; the mass is then fl
tered, dried in the air, and caused to
harden in n bath of alum,S the result
being white, tough plates, which are
more easily worked than natural ivory.

Dyspeptics viii do well to observe the
following general rules: Live on two
meals a day if possible. Never cat to
excess. Estimate rs nearly as you can
the actual needso Of tho system, and limit
the quantity of food to them, remember.
ing that one grows weak if he cats too
much, Eat slowly and masticate all
food even longer and more thoroughly
than n healthy person careful of his di-
gestion would do. Quite dry foods, as a
rule, are best suited to dyspeptics, who
should drink sparingly with their meals.
Some can take ice water in very small
quantities without being disturbed by
it, but generally it retards digestion.
And the same is true of all cold drinks.
Warm ones suit most dyspeptics best,
and a very little weak tea, if properly
made, is not at all likely to do any harm.
The food should be neither very hot nor
very cold. Properly, it should be about
blood warm" Every one knows from
experience just what foods distress
them, and what are well borne; of course,
the former should be excluded from the
diet.-Boston Herald.

Several years ago, when Mckee Ran
kin was leading man in the stock COM
pany at the theatre in Pittsburg, he was
visited every few days throughout the
entire season by a long, lean man, who
looked like a typical countryman. He
tried to induce him to advance money
for the putting of a patent before the
public. The visitor only had one way
Of stating his case, and this he religious
ly did on an average of three times a
week for thirty weeks. He would
lounge up to Rankin, and after bidding
the actor good morning and chatting
for awhile would incidentally remark:
I've got a patent out of which untold
wealth a be made-if Ionly had about
$500 to get started. Now, Mac, I'll give
you a half interest in it if you'll advance
the money"
The same speech was repeated so fire.
quently that it became a standing joke
in the company, and the young fellow
who gave utterance to it was looked
upon as n crank by one and all. Other
people not members of the company
joined the actors in their estimate of
the mental balance of the inventor. The
season closed. Rankin came to New
York and his friend from Pittsburg was
forgotten until some years later when
1.-THE Danites'' was in the flush of its
success.
Rankin was playing the part of Sandy
in Pittsburg, when he received a call at
his hotel from one of the m~illionaires of
the Smoky City. He was greatly sur
prised to think this man should call on
him, but a few moments conversation
put him straight. The visitor was
George Westinghouse and the patent he
tried" to get Rankin interested in was
the now universally used ''air brake"

more than 100000 per annum.-New

There is a legend concerning the death
Of Solomon, alluded to in the Koran and
found in the chronicle of Tabari, which
is to the following effect: Solomon en-
ployed the genii in building the temple.
but p~erceiving that his end was nigh at
hand prayed God that his death might
be concealed from the genil until the
work was completed, for Solomon knew
that if he died and the genii knew of his
death they would leave off building.
Therefore he made himself a staff from
a tree in his garden, and leaning upon
this staff, with his head bowed in adora-
ton, he died in the temple. His soul
was taken so gently from him that the
body remained standing, so remaining
for one whole year; those who saw him
thought he was absorbed in prayer, and
they dared not approach him.
Still the genii worked night and day
until the temple was completed, thinking
that they were watched in every detail
by the master whose eyes had many
weeks before closed in death. But dur
ing all this time little white ants had
been gnawing at the staff, and when the
temple was at last finished, q long year
after the death of Solomon, the staff
crulnbled under his weight and the body
fell to the ground. Mahomet alludes to
this curious legend in the following (see
Koran, Sura, ~xxxiv): when he God
had decreed that solomon should die,
nothing discovered death unto them (the
genii) except the creeping thing of the
earth, which gnawed his staff, and when
his body fell down the genii plainly per-
ceived that if they had known that which
is secret they would not have continued
in vile punishment st. Louis Repub-

IT N IWEWTNs
The wages systemis of recent origin,
certainly modern, 1 believe transitional.
A hundred years ago the weaver owned
his loom, the tailor his bench, the cob
bier his stall, the stage driver his coach,
the woman her spinning wheel. The in
vention of steam, the spinning Jenny and
the power loom created a necessity for
organized labor. I-ndividualism gave
place TO combination, and combination
created capitalism. l believe that as
slavery gave place 10 serfdom, and serf-
dom to the wages d tom, so in time the
wages system will give place to indus
trial democracy.-kev. DR.. Lyman Alb
