by this carelessness of the architect
To remedy this difficulty in structures
already built, hole should be made in
the wall upon each side of the inclosed
space that air may circulate as freely
as possible; an opening only two inches
IN diameter, SO located that the pre-
FAILING winds can enter, will prove
very useful. The engraving, from a
sketch sent us by L. D. Shook, shows
such space, 6, in the foundation wall
The opening should be not less than
eight inches square, wooden frame, q,
covered with heavy wire netting,
should be put in and made secure by
the use of mortar around the edges
To close the space during winter a
wooden block, C, fitted with a cleat, is
placed in position, to be removed as
warm weather approaches. A space
should be left in the solid walls under
gerandas for ventilation and germ-kill

needed for two small families are well
arranged and entirely distinct from
each other
AS single house, the two front
rooms constitute parlor and living
room, with choice of dining-room
and kitchen; the second dining-room
serves as Il sleeping-room, and the
second kitchen would be appreciated as
a washroom, Il cool place in summer
for ironing, etc. -, and general store
room during o1id weather saving
many steps down cellar. If the di-

give to each side three good sleeping

low to Arrange One for the Use of Two
Families.
The majority of dwelling houses now
in course of construction in the smaller
cities for rental are double. They do
not cost twice as much as single
houses, while they are warmer and
nicer for small families. Houses on
farms are not built ITO let" but many
farmers near or past middle life build
new bouses as though they expected to
live and keep their children about them
forever. On farms of 70 to 100 acres
there are but few dwellings that do
not contain sufficient room for two
small families, which they usually
hold at some period, with more or less
Inconvenience to both parties.
With but few exceptions the time
must come to every farmer when he
will find himself alone and old age at
hand, and then second house must be
built, or the proverbial parlor bedroom
must be made to do service as a
kitchen and other changes must be
made tending to spoil the house as a
single dwelling and make it an incon-
vcnient botch US a double house. The
plan shown is sufficiently simple to eX-

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders
The purest baking powder makes the finest sweet
est, most delicious food. The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestibe and wholesome
food
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
OF the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift
or prize or at lower price than the Royal
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sui
phuric acid and render the food unwholesome
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal, which is absolutely pure.

Messrs. Editors: My son, William, was,

mouth which had caused him much pain and
suffering, by s. S. S. By advice of physi-
clans, who were unable to relieve him, an
operation was performed, extending to the

Ger returned shortly after, and commenced
growing rapidly. Finally, after trying many
other remedies, commenced to give him

to improve; after seven bottles had been
taken, the cancer disappeared entirely, an I

Increase in weight of Ducks.

The rapidity of growth of the Pekin
duck is almost marvellous, and to one
accustomed only to the keeping of the
common puddle duck, the claims made
in behalf of the Pelsin are subject to
doubt. Using ten duclslings for the
experiment, we weighed them careful
ly. When just hatched the ten duck
lings, together, weighed exactly one
pound. When one week old they
weighed two and one-half pounds; at
two weeks old aley weighed four
pounds; at three weeks, seven pounds;
at four weeks, ten pounds; at five
weeks, seventeen pounds; at six weeks,
twenty pounds, and at seven weeks,
twenty-five pounds, or two and one
half pounds each. Some of them were
short on weight, while some weighed
three and one'fourth pounds each. At
eight weeks the largest weighed four
pounds each. .-Exchange.

A GREEK DANCE.
Quaint and Curious Amusements of the
Modern HolIenes.

quaint ana curious AmuSements OF the
Modern Hcllenes,
The first on the programme was what
for the moment 1 will describe as the
Circular dance" The performers, men
and women, joined hands and stood in
circle broken by gap at one spot; the
leader of the figure, who was the tallest
individual present, held in his hand n
bright scarlet kerchief and led the circle
in its gyrations, which were slow and al
ways about the same center; this par
ticular movement was brought about
by each dancer in the ring taking GER
tain number of steps to the right, q half
turn, and then certain number to the
left, with the final result that each per-
son at the end of bar or two had
moved on n little, although still retain
ing his original place as regarded his
companions on either side.
This dance, which is the great amuse-
ment in the Eupoean villages, is gener-
ally executed to the usual monotonous
nasal chorus, sung by all those joining
in the dance-a duller or more insipid
performance either to participate in or
to witness as a spectator can not be

preciated by the peasants, who never
tire of it, and who would think any
thing in the nature of waltz highly
indecorous and improper
On this particular occasion fustanellas
and petticoats footed it with the same
conscientious energy and becoming
gravity as usual, and being curious of
trying my hand or rather feet, with
the others, joined the circle, which,
after my irruption into it, lost most of
its pristine dignity and the whole of its
regularity through my hops, slSips and
jumps being uncommonly high and out
of time. This was taken in good part
allowance doubtless being made for
barbaric customs-and hearty laugh
from the loolSers-on botoliened that my
| eXertions were ludicrous if not artistic.
The next figure was a spirited per-
formance somewhat like sword dance,
| executed by two men. The steps were
danced very neatly, and showed to adj
vantage their fine stalwart figures and
whirling fustanellas, the latter in
the pirouetting movements look
ing like a ballet-danccr's skirts. At

win hogs eat hay? Try the follow
ing method and you will adopt it. Cut
good clover hay into short lengths and
steam or scald it, allowing it to remain
over night. In the morning add enough
boiling water to warm the cut clover
and also sprinkle the mess with bran
and oatmeal. The result win be the
best and cheapest food you can use,
and the pigs will eat it greedily. II
will assist in promoting health, aiding
digestion by distending the stomach

Wond erfuI Worksof Bees.

Bees must, in order to collect pound

blossoms of their nectar. To, do this
the 81, 900 flowers must be visited by an
aggregate of o,7oo, 900 bees, C1s~r4 other
words, to collect his pound of honey one
bee must make 3,750,OO0 trips from and
to the hive. The enormous amount of
work here involved precludes the idea
of any one bee ever living long enough
to gather more than a fraction of a
pound of nectarine sweets.
AS bees are known to fly for miles in
quest of suitable fields of operation, it is
clear that single ounce of honey rep
resents millions of miles of travel. 1t is
no wonder that these industrious little
insects have earned the reputation of be-
ing 'busy" bees.-St. Louis Republic.
