DRAFTY ENGLISH HOUSES.

IN England Homes Are Devoid of Mod.
ern Comforts or Tonveniences.
The average dwel house in any
class-upper, middle or lower-built
within year is constructed almost pre-
cisely on the lines in vogue at the begin
ming Of the century. In England there
has been in ninety years no such ad-
vance in domestic architecture, with re-
gard to both convenience and style, as
we have noted in the United States in
the last decade. The Englishman may
explain this by alleging that he built
better in 1900 than we did in 1882. In
this he will not be altogether wrong,
but he will be supported by fewer facts
than he imagines.
The British Carpenter has not yet mas
tered the art of making a window.
There is always gale blowing in around
the sashes during the winter, whether
the outside air be calm or raging. The
more heat you get in q room-and by
lamps and gas you can contrive to raise
the temperature the greater is the rush
of cold air from without. It forces its
way d1 OstklC tA4C WAIN0W DfbSllCS tUu Illtt
doors in obedience to natural law.
An English house is drafty, whether
it be the dwelling Of peer or peasant.
The doors are hung even worse than the
windows. In the first place there are no
thresholds, and there is a gaping space
between the floor and the bottom Of the
door. The room in which I am now
writing has an admirable specimen Of an
English door. have just measured the
yawning crevices around it. Between
the floor and the bottom of the door
there is space one-half an inch wide,
extending across the entire breadth of
the door. Around the other three sides
Of the door there is space one-quarter
of an inch wide. ALI the doors IN the
place (which is not the work of 'sjerry
builder" but is what the British call "a
high class" and expensive structure) are
hung in the same fashion. Imagine,
then, the number of portieres and thick
rugs necessary to exclude the drafts.
The halls of an English house are un-
heated. Drafts are accordingly increas-
ed, for the cold air win always rush
from the chilly halls into the apart
ments of high temperature. Screens,
portieres, rugs, heavy window hangings
are essential in every room. OF course
these things darken an apartment. Thus
you can only break the currents of air
in a London dwelling by adding to the
depressing gloom of the almost sunless
London winter.

ture. The power machine comes ready
made among the goods kept in dairy and
creamery supply stores. The same
power can be utilized for turning a
grindstone, or any other purpose where
not too much strength is required. On
the women folk Of the farm falls the task
of feeding the big lazy dog, who often
times refuses to drive pig out Of the
garden for them. Many time they
must cook corn cakes especially for his
delicate appetite, yet he lies in the
sun almost too lazy to switch the flies
off and blinls at the tired housewife
plying the old fashioned dasher churn.
Let us have an end of it.
With a small power such as shown in
the picture, either calf or a sheep can
be made to walk the treadmill and do the
work. One dairyman mentions that he
has larger power and makes the bull not
only do the churning, but cut the fodder
and haul it too, and saw wood as well.
Dog, bull, calf or sheep, it is all the
same. One makes as good butter as the
other. In small dairies some of the
creamers now manufactured with a
power churn like that in the illustration
would turn farm butter making into a
real pleasure. The dog can also be
used to turn the hand cream separator.

MAKE HIM PAY HIS WAY.

Make That Lazy Dog Earn His Own Liv-
ing-See!
The good old country grandfather of
certain able editor used to make the
big dog of the household do the churn-
ing. It is said that the dog possesses
something of a mans intelligence. This
is probably true, for at length on churn-
ing days, which came regularly about II
o'clock in the forenoon, the dog would
sneak off in the morning and could not
be found excopt after long search, some
times not at all. On churning days that
dog ''took to the woods"
But all are not as human in their sa-
gacity as the editors grandfather's dog,
that, like boy, knew enough to sneak
off and hide on churning days. It is
easy to make a dog do all the family
churning.
An ordinary yellow dog, weighing
thirty pounds, is large enough to run a
churn in the manner shown in the pic

How Chameleon Climb.

Chameleons always creep upward
wherever they may be. In a window
they manage to cling to the frame be-
tween the panes of glass and by great
perseverance get higher and higher,
never looking. but always feeling for

searching foot, which moves cautiously
and feels its way until it manages to

Analysing the Smiths.

EDITOR TRIBUNE: In Sundays issue
you ask "Who is. Smith,Iof Cass county7?"
Strange as it may seem, Cass county
has several Smiths, most any of them
senatorial cumbersome good, some
otherwise.
Hon. Geo. H. Smith was an 1ntelli-
gent and useful member Of the last
house, and would have been reelected,
had he consented to swear to Chief Gall
that he would support another Smith
for United States senator, which he in
his emphatic way declined to do. This
other Smith is perhaps the obscure in
diyidual you are advertising for infor-
nation about. He is said to be posing
for the high place of United States sena-
tor, and is said by some, who have
doubtless received a slice Of the pie, to
be q formidable candidate, but none
have ventured to tell Of one character
istic he possesses, that qualities him for
the position, except perhaps, that he is
said TO have wealthy relatives who are
wiling y serve pie il large and ne

shows that at the beginning of the pres
ent term more than 100 students were in
attendance. The fact that nearly 400
students were enrolled last year, says
the Herald, only attests the great popu-
larity of the school and it's opportunity
for usefulness. The report asks for an
appropriation for a dormatory building
large enough to accommodate $50 stu
dents. The report then calls attention
to the ~advisability of developing the
school of mines, urging that the coal
and other minerals of the state could be
made more valuable.
It is said there is a dearth Of cars in
North Dakota. From every little town
and elevator station the cry Is going up
for cars to ship wheat. Every elevator
is full and farmers are compelled to re:
turn home with their wheat. It is
charged that both the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific roads are dis
eliminating in favor of certain large
elevator companies, furnishing them
! with cars, while the smaller fry are
forced to cease buying, owing to their
being no more oom in which they can
store grain. At Cando only thirty-two
cars we're received in the past week
while The grain bought there IN
day would more than fill that number

Another Suggestion,

The Grand Forks Plaindealer, under
the new management, is brimful and
running over with suggestions. Every
few days it blossoms forth with a bran
new idea-something which has never
been set forth before. Some of them
are good ones-and whether this last
belongs to this class 1t will rest with
the people of the state to determine:
The governor Of North Dakota should
have an Official residence. 1t hardly COM
ports with the gubernatorial dignity to be
obliged to live in a hotel, boarding house
or hired house, yet that is what North
Dakota governors are obliged to do, and it
looks bad for the executive OF a wealthy
state to be obliged to receive his callers in
a dingy hotel .parlor. The state should
build and furnish a residence for the gov
ernor. 1t need not be expensive-$6,000 or
$1,000 should 90 the business, and the first
cost would be about the sole expense, as
the incumbent would be obliged to main
tain his W household.
1.-THE capital was a large and populous
city it wouldn't be so bad, but the ad-
vantages of Bismarck as a place of resi-
dence are not great or numerous, and the
governor, if he live decently, providing
himself with a house and maintaining.
besides his WI home in some other poT-
ton Of the state, will find himself very
much out of pocket at the end Of his term.
The governor of this state gets a pittance
an opportunity to fill his office without loss
to himself. uI ~ "
Such a house as would serve the purpose
might be located in a good part of the city,
and some big.hearted Bismarck millionaire
could be found easily enough who would
donate the ground; the state could afford
to put $1,000 or even $4,000 into the house
and furniture and the governor would be
decent!y housed. New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Rhode Island and many other states
provide q s~gubernatOrial residence, and
there is really a need for one in this state.
The attention of the legislature is directed
to this.
Now, of course, the Plaindealer is to
be commended for it's intense solicitude
as to the welfare of all the future gov
errors of the state OF North Dakota. In
this respect the article is all right, but
when the Plaindealer says that the ad-
vantages of Bismarck as a place of resi-
dence are not great or numerous it
makes a sad mistake. The Plaindealer
man has never seen the busy streets or
the Incompatible residence thorough
fares Of the queen city Of the west. He
has never wandered dreamily up Seventh
street and allowed his eyes to rest in
awe struck wonder upon the magnificent
architectural piles which grace the
avenue. The models Of Doric, Ionic,
Gothic and all other kinds OF architec-
