FIRST STORY.

The framework should be hollow, with
tongued and grooved sheathing nailed on
diagonally. In the cottage shown the
sheathing was covered with waterproof
building paper and clapboarded with six
inch beveled siding. The roof is also
sheathed and covered with waterproof
paper and shingled Shingle lath should
never be used in regions which are fire.
quented by high winds, as the shingles
bend under the pressure of the wind be.
tween the laths, and the rain or snow is
driven into the building.
The building is one and one-half stories
in height. The main roof over the second
story chamber extends down over the front
of the parlor, thus forming in a most
economical manner small veranda
which protects the front entrance. If de
sired, in the winter time this porch could
be inclosed with glazed window sash as an
additional protection. The staircase hall
extends through the middle of the build
ing, with door at the rear leading to the
yard. Upon the right of the staircase
hall is parlor 12x16, lighted by window
in front and rear, and two windows in the
sides. 1t is heated by CRATE designed for
burning soft coal-or it is so arranged that
stove can be used if desired. In the front.
at the left side of the hall, is the dining
room, 13x15, with windows in front and
on the side 1t is also provided with an
open fireplace and CRATE for burning coal
The dining room communicates with the
kitchen through the pantry. The kitchen
is connected with the main hall by door
conveniently near the back entrance, and

PERSPECTIVE.

sometimes tornadoes, and the structure
must be constructed so as to Withstand the
shocks which it is liable to receive. A brisk
wind travels at the rate of about twenty
five miles an hour, strong wind at the
rate of thirty miles an hour, high wind at
forty, storm at fifty, violent storm at sixty,
hurricane at eighty, violent hurricane at
hundred miles an hour. From this it
will be seen that the wind pressure is an
important item which must be carefully
considered and calculated in designing any
important structure. In prairie country
high building or roof should be avoided
as it offers too large surface for the press
ure of the wind, which in storm is about
eighteen pounds to each square foot of sur
face, neither should the building have wide
projections of cornices for the same reason,
as it would be in danger of being unroofed
at any time during storm unless extra
and expensive precautions have been taken
in construction, 1t follows, then, that a
low building with but slight projections of
cornices is best adapted to prairie coun
try, as being most economical and safe.
The cottage shown in the illustrations
represents a sensible, conveniently ar
ranged and substantially constructed cot
tage or prairie farm house in the Queen
Anne style of architecture. The founda
ton walls are of brick laid in cement
mortar, plastered on the outside with
cement, and the cellar has concrete floor
three inches thick. The sills are built of
two pieces of plank, one, 3x6, laid fat upon
the walls and securely anchored in place
by wrought iron bolts set in the brick
work, the other piece, 2XS, is set edgewise
upon the wall and securely spiked to the
plank beneath. The studding is notched
on the lower end to come flush with the
outside of the brick wall and sill and
spiked to both pieces, thus securing the
framework of the entire building from be-
ing torn from its foundations by the most
violent storms

The Troublesome Spider.

Many years ago, when the writer used
the level with an engineering party,
there were frequent difficulties with the
instrument. Curved lines like arcs of
circles would appear in rapid sequence
across the field of vision, which would
be nearly eclipsed at times. These diff
culties would arise at irregular and gen.
orally inconvenient intervals. The in
strument was carefully examined with
out revealing any cause
The writer, distrustful of his own eye
sight, visited an eminent oculist, receiv
ing some vague advice and paying a
realistic fee. 1t was afterward discov-
cred that minute spider had ensconced
himself in the cover of the eyeglass of
the telescope of the level.-Cor. Engi.

faf.SsS such showers. The transformed
stonebreaker took pleasure in pouring
rain and hail upon the earth in fashion
so terrible that trees fell down, finding
only mud in which to fasten their roots
Under his aquatic rule Of several hours
streams became rivers, rivers became
torrents. seas merged into one another
and formidable waterspouts were every
where
A rock, meanwhile. held up his head
in the storm. In face of all he remained
impassive. Upon his TANKS of granite
the waves dashed, covering with froth
the waterspouts breaking at his feet.
and the thunder made him laugh each
time that it tickled his sides.
Il am at my wits ends!" said the
cloud. This rock ignores my power.
He resists me. and envy him"
Said the angel, Take his place, and
let us see if you will at last be satisfied.
The transformed cloud at length felt
at ease Impervious, inaccessible, i'm
passive. under the burning caresses OF
the sun and under the fury of the thun
der, he believed himself master of the
world.
But 10, at his feet little soft hammer
ing drew his attention. He leaned ovel
and saw poor creature, covered with
rags-thin and pale as he himself had
been in the time of his greatest misery
who. with a mallet in his hand, Clipped
the granite into pieces to repair tht
neighboring roadway,
"What is this? cried the superb rock
"a poor wretch, miserable among the
most miserable, mutilates me and can
not defend myself! am profoundly hu
inflated. am reduced to envying the
state of this creature"
Take his place" said the angel smil
ing.
And the Unsuitable parsonage became
that which he was before poor littlt
breaker of stones.
As in the past he worked upon thu
roads while there was light all the time
in all seasons, under the rain, the snow
or the sun
He was always half dead from hun
ger, and three-quarters dead from fa
tigue-all of which did not hinder hin
from being perfectly contented with hi
lot. Translated from the French of Er

Twas Not a Mosquito.

A Maine man in attendance at camp
meeting and in the attitude of prayer
was greatly annoyed by what seemed an
especially persistent mosquito. First it
perched upon his neck, and his impulse
was to fetch it whack, but sense Of
decorum restrained him and he gently
dislodged it with his hand Next he
felt tickling sensation on one of his
ears, and up went the other hand. 1t
was not long before the pest was again
fooling around the back of his neck
This time the annoyance was too much
for him, and. with his eyes still closed,
he made grab for it. What he caught
was feather from the hat of young
woman who was devoutly kneeling be-
hind him.-New York Sun.
