Secondfioor plazzas, seen chiefly at
Summer resorts in the country or at
the seashore, seem to be now a feature
of suburban home everywhere. They
are much more delightful than first
floor veraDdas, and, though not always
as spacious. may be somewhat simi-
larly furnished. They are always rallied
all around, giving a place for flower
boxes, and sometimes are partly walled
by very pretty trellises or lattice work,
which the most ambitious vines that
started in the ground below may reach
and beautify. A young married pair,
living in the second-foor of a subur-
ban home, are blessed with one o.

The wife laughingly calls it "the
spoonery," and has made it fragrant
with blossoms in narrow boxes that fill
the entire railing, and coy with ham,
mock, chairs, a table and her work.
Here can be set, if she likes, a tiny tea
table, just big enough for two, its deli
cate cups, its lowered plates, its pretty
salad bowl and its cut-glass dish of
berries shielded from sight by tall
screen. Fortunate. indeed, is the be-
, ing who, happening in at tea time. gets
a sight at the spot. doubly fortunate if
invited to partake, even though, be-
cause of the extreme limitation of the
table, the plate must be balanced on
the knee and the cup set down on o
chair.

Summer make your piazza, either up
stairs or down, an attrac i've rendez-
vous for other unfortunates, and they
will thereafter declare that you have
one of the most charming homes IN the

AFRICA IN PUTTY, OR HOW TO

the shop and find a smooth board, a
foot or more square, and ask father for
the can of putty"
Leon was back In few minutes with
the articles, and the look of despair
had quite gone from his face
"Now draw an outline of Africa on
your board and cover the inclosed
space with thin coat of putty, spread
on evenly, after you have worked 1t in
your hands until il is soft. This is
very well done. Now put on more

The word typhus-literally smoke
refers to the heavy stupor that
characterizes this fever. Formerly
the name was used to include also
what is now known as typhoid, which
was then regarded as only a milder
form of typhus. The two diseases
are wholly distinct, Notwithstanding
some resemblance in certain of the
symptoms.
Typhus fever prevailed extensively
during the 10th century in Italy.
France and England. In England
sheriffs, judges, and jurymGn took the
infection from prisoners brought be-
fore them, and on account of the pre-
valence of the disease IN jails it came
10 be known as jail fever. Other
names have been camp fever. spotted
fever, putrid fever, and ship fever.
In England and Ireland il has re.
peatedly prevailed with great severity
within the last 200 years.
There have been occasional out
breaks of it in the leading seapOrts
of the United States. Between Jan.
l, 1861, and Nov. l, 1864, ], ,428 cases
were admitted to Bellevue Hospital,
New York, more than 500 of them
during the last six months of that
period Typhus fever, when not fatal,
lasts about three weeks. For the
first week the symptoms are not
severe; the patient may even keep
about his work. Toward the end of
that time the characteristic rash ap-
pears, the other symptoms are more
pronounced, and the patient takes
his bed. During the second week all
the symptoms, great prostration, fire.
quency OF the pulse and mental con-
fusion, are rapidly intensified. BY
the beginning of the third week con-
valescence begins, and by the end OF
the week the fever has terminated.
When the disease proves fatal, death
occurs, as rule. by about the tenth
day. Rclapses are rare. A person is
seldom attacked more than once.
Typhus is not nearly so contagious
as some other disease. 1t originates
In crowded conditions, and its spread
Is mainly confined to such conditions.
1t is almost unknown in rural dis
tricts. 1t does not spread from house
to house. A free circulation of the
air arrests the infectious principle, so
that n patient can be safely isolated
In his own house.
When in typhoid fever the infec-
tion is mainly in the discharges, in
typhus it is mainly in the breath and
the emanations of the skin. 1t is
believed that clothing does not con-
vey the infection. unless strongly i'm
pregnated with il; hence the fever is
not likely to he communicated by an
ttendant-Youth's Companion.

COMFORT ON LHE PIAZZA.
THE SEASON WHEN TIE WORLD SITS

dreamy hammock that swings and sways
In a dim piazza-in August days.
Doesn't that sound delightfully."- cool
and inviting? Doesn't it suggest de-
licious day dreams, book of Summer
stories, aid long, lazy afternoons and
evening spent on the pinzza?
The hammock has long held sole
supremacy there. The Iinzza, in the
suburban homes. is the Summer sit
ting room, the gathering place of the
family, and there the swinging couch
is always seen. But why not have
other resting places than the hammock
There are many people who cannot
even sit in one. because the slightest
motion of it makes them sick For
these people, who, unfortunately for
them, miss a grelt pleasure in "the
dreamy hammock" one OF these old
fashioned canvas cots, with wooden
edges and crossed legs, makes a COM
Portable place to recline. The wood can
be painted dark blue or red, contrast
ing with the white of the canvas, and
the pillows, o! course, will match.
There are wicker couches that come
for use in loors and out. These are
especially suitable for a piazza Or
one can make resting place out of a
lcnR, low box by padding the top and
upholstering it with denim or CT etonne.
The lid can be made to lift, and under
meath are kept outdoor games, and the
chill lren's piazza toys. If there is an
angle In the porch where a double
couch may be arranged, let 1t be put
in place, using boxes and letting the
tMo parts follow the sides of the angle.

He went to Chicago to rival Potter

as he did from New York-''flat

it. He made still another fortune,
and went to San Francisco, where he
died poor man. Another Lewis and

named Thomas Cruise. Although he
owned it, he could not get a sack of

glish syndicate for 81, 500, 900. But he

"FOrty-niner, who came as a pros

ering his mine has lived upon it in a
peculiar way. He has no faith in
banks He says his money is safest
In the ground. When he has spent
what money he has he takes out a
wagon load of ore, ships it to Omaha,
sells it and lives on the return until
he needs another wagon load.
There is a queer story concerning
the Spotted Horse Mine in Fergus
County. 1t was found by P. A. Nc
Adow, who sold 1T to Gov. Hauser
and A. NJ. Holder for $500, 900 three
years ago. They paid a large sum
down in cash, and the other pay
ments were to come out Of the
ground. The ore was in pockets,
each of which was easily exhausted.
Whatever was taken out went to Nc
AdOw, who got about 500, 900. Then
the purchasers abandoned it, on the
advice of experts, and Mr. Meadow
took hold of it. He found the vein,
over which rails had been laid for a
mining car. He has taken out $780,
900, and 1t is still good mine. One
Of these children of luck came to
Helena with money, picked out a wife,

loops at thu back edge of the board
