ELEVATION.

In the rear Rooms are arranged on each
side. Such plan as this would be as COM
Portable as possible during hot weather.
This would bring it to the attention of any
section with warm days and nights. The
north suffers quite as much in hot weather
rs the south, but the southern people know
how to conduct themselves during the
heated term. 1t is the habit of the people
of the north to do about the same during
the summer months as in the winter. Their
business is tuned to the same key, and all
of their affairs move in about the same
way. In the south it is not expected that
the same amount of energy will be expend-
ed during the very hot months as during
those which are cooler.
A house like this, with trees in front and
at the side, would be comfortable in any
latitude. In the winter months it would
be pleasant to sit around a large fireplace
in the hall, which would serve as a sitting
room This hall Is A feet long and lighted
from each end. The bedrooms and bath
room connect with it. There is hallway
in the rear which connects with the stair
way and as well with the porch outside.
No special sitting room is indicated in this
plan. The room which has the dressing
room attached to it at the right hand side
of the hall could be used either as a sitting
room or parlor. However, it is to be pre-
stunned that in the practical use OF house
of this kind the hospitable character Of the
hall would lead all TO use it both as a re-
ceptioD and sitting room.
have in mind a house planned in this
way where the front and rear hall was
separated by a spindle work screen and
silk draperies. One end was sitting room
and the other a reception room. If lady
is in the rear end of the hall with her chill
dren and sewing and caller appears, she
steps into the front end of her hall and is
practically in her parlor. If it is formal
call she is only disturbed from the routine
of her work for a short time, and then can
readily return TO it.
The rear stairway may be used to con-
meet with the room in the high part of the
roof on the second floor. These rooms ara
quite as high and altogether as well venti
lated as those on the first floor The pitch
OF the roof over broad house of this kind
leaves a very high space in the center, and
provides a room with an attic space overit.
This would give two large rooms and
ample closet in the front part of the second
floor. If it were so desired there could be
rooms over the kitchen, or, as indicated by
the elevation in the dormers, at the side.
BY the use of these dormeSs rooms quite as
high and as large as those in the middle
can be provided. In case Of there being
rooms over the kitchen they could be en-
tered by stairway running up over the
cellar stairway, which could be reached
either from the porch or the kitchen, ac-
cording to the latitude in which the house
was built. If these rooms were approached
from the kitchen it would be best to set
Fhe kitchen fue on the right hand side of
the kitchen, so as to admit Of a doorway
next the cellar stairway. Thus the rear
stairway would wind up over the cellar
stairway and to the second floor.

FLOOR PLAN.

The kitchen and pantry arrangement OF
this house is particularly adapted for a
southern house, though it Is for that rea-
son such an arrangement as would be ap-
preciated in the north. The kitchen has
cross ventilation and is well separated from
the front part of the house. The way 10
get from the kitchen to the dining room is
through the china closet or butler pantry.
In passing from one room TO The other one
must pass through two doors which are
hung on double spring hinges. They al
WAYS stand closed when released. With
such an arrangement one may cook onions
or cabbage in the kitchen without its be-
ing known in the front part of the house.
The pantry is on the opposite side from
the china closet and has a window opening
10 the porch. Under this window could be
placed an ice chest, and If the window is
low enough and properly arranged, the ice
can be put into it from the outside. Next
60 the ice chest can be located the dough
board, on the top of which board can be
placed a marble slap. This marble slab is
n great saving of labor. 1t Is easily cleaned
md is much better for molding purposes
than board. Outhe dead wall side OF the
pantry are the shelves, -four bin and store
boxes of the pantry.
The kitchen Is provided with the usual
labor saving arrangements-the sink with
hot and cold water, drain connections and
tables on each side. Every range should be
provided with a hood over it, or rather the
range should be almost surrounded with q
hood. BY such an arrangement most of
the heat ana al Of the oGcr OF the cooking
goes TO the outside. \ house built on this

Gus young people from all parts of the
United States and Canada, and fair
representation from England, Australia
and other countries beyond the seas.
Along with the young people, acting as
guides and counselors, gather some OF
the most eloquent divines in the world,
and the meetings are noted for their
practical Christianity.
Z is years gathering at Minneapolis,
the nth international convention of the
societies, naturally calls attention TO the
marvellous expansion of the original idea
Beginning in very modest way at Port
land, Ne, in the winter of 1SS0-S1, the
idea of Young Christian Endeavor speed
lily took root and fourished amazingly.
In 1882 there were 2 societies, with
4S1 members; the following year there
were 56 societies and $50 members;
five years later the number of societies
was 1914 and the mem bership lao, 600;
while today there are 1900 societies
with 100000 members on the rolls
Notwithstanding this enormous increase
the organization moves like clockwork
and the expenses of the United society
have gradually decreased until they are
almost completely wiped out. Strict
economy and good management are the
watchwords of the officers. The profits
of the publishing society meet all the
general expenses and there are no taxes
or assessments of any kind.
One of the most active spirits of the
movement is Rev. DR.. F. E. Clark, the
founder, who is now popularity known as
Father Endeavor. Dr.. Clark, who is
a modest. unasSuming gentleman, con-

the United society was formed This
body is simply the bureau of information
for all the societies. 1t prints the litera-
ture, answers thousands of letters of in
ouiry every week and is the general
HEADQUARTERS of the work. 1t levies no
taxes and assumes no authority, every
society managing its own affairs IN Its

trustees representing the great evangeli-
cal denominations. Local societies be-
come members by simply filing out
statistical blank, furnished on applica-
ton to the Office at 90 Bromfeld street,
Boston.
The central idea of the Endeavor So
ciety is the incubation OF the methods
and responsibilities of church work into
the minds of young people. 1t does not

mittee work. Perhaps the most i'm
portant committee il the Lookout
for membership, and endeavors to re-
claim those who have grown lax or in
different to their VOWS. Little promi-
hence is given to the business features
of the society. Sharp parliamentary
tactics and warm debates are tabooed at
the meetings. 1t is impressed on all that
the society is purely religious one cen
tering around the prayer meeting. Here
is the pledge each member takes:
Trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ for strength,
promise him that l will strive to do whatever
he would Like to have me do: that will make
it the rule OF my life to pray and to read
the Bible every day; that Will support my

/ can conscientiously give to my Saviour, and
that, Just so far as know how, throughout my
whole life ! viii endeayor to lead Christian
life.
AS an active member promise to be true to
all my duties, to be present at and TO take some
part, aside from singing, IN every Christian En-
deavor prayer meeting, unless hindered by some
reason which can conscientiously give 10 my
lord and master. If obliged to be absent from
the monthly conservation meeting of the So
ciety, will if possible send at least verse Of
Scripture to be read in response to my name at

The utmost enthusiasm prevails among
the leaders and members which is quite
natural in view Of the marvellous prog

The Chicago Herald has published q

On the 18th Of October, 1492. Walter

that they have located the exact spot.

explored the coast of SANTANA and Cat
island, finding conclusive proof that
they did not answer the description.
But at WatGng's they found the descnp-
ton exact Columbus says:
This island Is very large and very level, and
has very green trees and many streams Of
water and very large lagoon in the middle
without any mountain, and is covered with
verdure most pleasing to the eye.
This is as good a description as could
be written today, and Watling's is the
only island in the Bahamas which con-
tains large lagoon in the middle. In
his journal, date of Oct. IA, he describes
Graham's harbor exactly as it now is,
except that the sea has cut through
low sand spit BY approaching this har-
Dor on the same line Columbus did they
found the hill and headland in the same
position as mapped by him, and the first
beach beyond where the deep water ex-
tends nearly to the shore is in all proba-
bility the place Of his landing. Many
other proofs are offered which Mr.. Well
man considers conclusive.
On a little headland overlooking the
beach on the northeastern shore of Wat
ling's island they therefore erected the
monument. The foundation is Of the
coral stone of the locality, cemented to
last for centuries, and on this stands the
monument, sixteen feet high Six feet

ing can avert bloodshed. At headquarters
however, hopes are entertained that the
trouble will soon end in peace. General
Miles has not yet heard from Big Road
Jack Red Cloud, He Dog, or Little Hawk
who conferred with him on Monday and
returned 10 the hostiles. He expects him
tonight or tomorrow. If they do not
come then IL is probable that the general
will take the field after them with but
little delay.
Late this evening the general received
word from old Red Cloud that he would
come in morrow and bring all the In
dams he could with him. The general
thinks Two Strike will accompany Red
Cloud and that they may be followed by all
the other Indians.
Advices from Washington announcing
the approval of General Niles suggestions
of putting the agencies where trouble ex
lists under military control We're received
TO night. General Miles is satisfied this
reform viii act to the benefit and happiness
of the Indians, basing his opinion upon the
record OF the officers he has selected All
OF them have in times past had experience
IN handling Indians and with success.
Mrs. Sykes, formerly superintendent of
Indian schools at this agency, has re-
celved the permission of General Miles to
take Little Wound to Chicago and the east.
She b opes to have this warrior, who is now
among the hostiles and was one of those
earliest disaffected, tell his story of the re
ported wrongs of his people. She returned
only few days ago from Washington and
bore letter from the President to General
Miles, on the strength of which her request
was granted.
