The Request % a Marchioness Astonished
a Young shopman.
A lady Of fashion had been lettering

chased a copy of nearly every piece OF
music that had a sentimental title, and
had sent out to her carriage a whole
portmanteau full OF love" going
through every mood of the feeling, past,
present. or future-and was following
their example when she paused upon
the step as if meditating whether she
should take it OF some other step that
was evidently turning itself over in her

An architectural expert has recently
even some sound advice in the mat

Chat the true principle is, first, TO UNI
derstand what the purpose is in the
building proposed, and to build to that
purpose. The ordinary method OF
building should be reversed, and the
roof planned first. The purpose Of the
roof is not merely to keep out rain, but
It should also protect from changes OF
weather. fire, etc. The ordinary roof
meets none Of these points. The slate
cracks easily under either heat or cold,
admitting rain, attracting heat and in
viting confiagration.
Some Of the very best roofs are over
the oldest factories, with solid framed,
matched boards covered with lined
mortar. upon which the shingles were
laid. The ideal roof Is nearly iat-an
entirely fat roof Sin shed rain. The
best way is 70 pitch the roof Of indus
