A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.
4 City Lady Who Required Proof B efore
Believing.

There recently appeared in the San Francisco
Call, Chronicle, and Examiner, q proposition
hitherto unheard Of in similar business rela-
tions. 1t was nothing more nor less than an
advertisement in which the Edwin W. Joy
Company, in proof Of the curative properties Of
Vegetable sarsaparilla, offered for limited
period to submit 1t to the terrific test Of "no
cure no pay" Many accepted, and their letters
giving their experience are 80 convincing as
to be almost beyond belief. Here Is another.
written under Gate January 6, 1901
DEAR sIRs: I accepted your offer to test the
merits of your vegetable remedy in sick head
aches and called for a bottle and got it. had
been troubled for q long time, and had tried
nearly everything, with little or no effect; but
joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla acted almost Ike
magic and the first bottle relieved me from one
of the worst cases of sick headache one ever
had. MRS. NJ. B. PRICE,
16 Prospect Place, San Francisco.
We will from time to time publish others Of
these letters. 1t Is doubtful If any remedy was

FIRST STORY.

left of the hall is the dining room, which is
more secluded than the parlor, the entrance
being single door. The dining room is
lighted from the side by three windows
grouped together as closely as possible,
which gives pretty effect, both from the
exterior and interior At one end of the
dining room is an open fireplace with
CRATE, tiled hearth and facings and brass
fender, with china closet at the left of
the fireplace. At the other end are the
doors to the pantry and rear veranda or
porch. Back of the hall is the kitchen,
generous in size, communicating with the
dining room through the pantry by double
hinged doors and with the hall by means
of passage under the main stairs. The
kitchen is provided with brick set range,
forty gallon copper boiler, crockery sink
and wash tray. From the rear veranda
are steps leading to the yard in the rear of
the house.
The DOCTORS office, or library, is on the
ground floor, circular in plan, and seems
especially adapted to fill in the angle be-
tween the hall and dining room. 1t is
lighted by three windows, SO grouped as
to concentrate the light near one part of
the room, which is desirable for examina-
tions which require good light, or for a
desk. An open fireplace connects with the
brickwork of the dining room chimney.
The floor of the first story is doubled,
the first layer consisting of surfaced lum-
ber nailed to the floor beams, over which

Oddities About Fleas.

Nothing curious about flea, eh? Let
us see. Put one under strong micro
scope. What transformation 1t seems
to be clothed in armor from head to foot, "
formed of brown, overlapping plates, that
are so exceedingly tough as to be almost
indestructible. Its head is small and very
thin, with single black eye on each side,
the rays of light scintillating through the
tiny optic like sparks of fire. Puget man
aged to look through the eye of a flea with
his powerful glass, finding that its surface
diminished objects in size while it multi
piled them in number-a man appearing
like an army of fairies, and the flame of a
candle becoming thousand tiny stars.
From the shape of itshead and for other
reasons the flea is supposed to use but one
eye at time. The offensive weapon of
the little creature is composed of two
palpi, or ''feelers," two piercers and a
tongue. When it feeds it stands erect,
thrusting this sucker into the flesh, and
will eat without intermission if not dis
turbed.
The fea's manner of breathing is still
undetermined, but is thought to be through
two small holes at the end of the palpi.-

"Air Cutters'' on Trains,

Master Mechanic Buchanan, of the Van
derbilt lines, has been at work on an idea
for new coach and engine for a long time.
He is experimenting on steel coach, with
both ends shaped similar to a ships prov.
He wants his cars lighter and his engines
heavier, for greater speed. He believes a
steel cover can be arranged on the engine
SO that the air cannot eddy around the cab
and the boilers. The entire scheme would
be ON the line of the least possible resist
ance to the atmosphere.
He believes the railroad train Of the fu-
ture will make seventy-five or eighty miles
an hour between this city and Chicago

swaddled in more complex fashion than
the German. 1t is wound about with six
inch wide bandages, sometimes with the
arms free and sometimes not, sometimes
the legs included in the whole bundle, but
usually swathed separately. The band
ages are traditionally supposed to make
the limbs and figure grow straight. The
bandaged barn is then wrapped in pillow
and tied about with ribbons and bows like
the German child, except that frequently
his arms are free and his legs are shortly
and stoutly suggested by the tucking in of
the pillow After that he may be fastened
aatwise to another pillow, and slung per-
pendicularly from supple pole stuck in
the wall, so that he looks like very queer
fish indeed, fit to be shown outside the shop

ways wears a cap, which is borderless and

when it is christened. Then also it wears

ments with gay bows of ribbon, all Of
| which are provided by the godmother. In

carry these swaddled infants to church,

tongued and grooved yellow pine floor laid
after the house is plastered, trimmed and
thoroughly dried out.
In the second story are four large cham
bers, staircase hall and bathroom, and suit
able closets. The bathroom is located
directly over the kitchen. so that there is
much saved in the direct matter of arrang-
ing the plumbing pipes. The attic floor is Of
tongued and grooved spruce, and all is left
unfinished except the hall and one room
for servant. By an additional expense of
$500 charming studio or den can be fitted
up in the third story of the tower, together
with another bedroom.
1t will be noticed that the details of the
exterior work are neat and simple; the
veranda railings are inclosed and shingled,
giving very cozy and comfortable appear
ance to the exterior in the mere matter Of
outline alone. Ths exterior woodwork is
all painted two coats--the body of the
building light brown. with trimmings of
darker shade. This house can be erected
in places where the price of labor is not ex-
cessively high for $500; in some places it
would exceed this figure. d. W. KEyG.

steadfastness 10 ideals Is the True Prin.
eiple Of the Higher Life.
On the part of faithful workers the spirit
Of work must ever consist of a constantly
careful adherence to the truth. This is
not the hghtest way TO work. It is always
easier to COPY the work of others than to
work from nature, whether the creation
belongs to the highest art or the lowest
kind of manual labor.
The usual aim of a worker is 20 follow
the best accepted models. and to secure
perfect imitation is his highest ambition.
He has no belief in his own thought sim
ply expressed. He takes his idea firm this
authority, and his method of transferring
it to the minds of others from that. He
tries to please the eye, and creates forms
striking, snowy, even beautiful-with the
beauty of skillful imitation.
He tries to charm the ear, and utters
fine, fanciful phrases, sonorous sentences,
words which appeal to the imagination
and show a wide knowledge of the produc-
tions of other people. But this is never
the way to reach the heart, for the heart is
/ satisfied only with the truth, and if the ex-
preston is not true to the thought, then it

| the worse the guilt of the caricature.
| SHeh work answers for passing human
needs 1t has often fair body. But if it
has no soul of its own it cannot live, and
! though used in lieu of that which is better,
when the need that used it dies it dies too.
| The other sort of work is slow and pain
| full. Once begun, there is no more rest for
the worker. Though he labor with un-
| oaooinor off ha and
clearly how feeble is his expression Of the
truth he would have it declare. He works
with heart that falters and with hands
that tremble as they move. Ali very poor
and weak must be our best attempts, yet
to work nearer to the truth in each mo-
ment of our working lives is the divinest
blessing we can ask. To reach it is of the
things hoped for-not seen. But it is the
things not seen which are eternal.
The work is slow. 1t is q life work
What better life work can there be? The
work is painful. 1t is through much trib
ulation we enter the kingdom. For mo

and again are we thrown back, bruised
and faint, to cry, "Who can endure to the
end?"
But hard and toilsome and slow though
it be, we must labor. Steep and stony
though the path, we must climb it, By
and by, when no longer through a glass
darkly, but face to face, we read the mean
ing of all the hardship, the slow growth
and the bitter suffering, then out of th'
temple our human hands have built shal
