and dining room must be separated from

the whole may be thrown into one room

Il object to having fireplace in the hall

more expense in the parlor mantel and let
it be very neat and pretty, with beveled
mirrors and little shelves ornamented with
pretty spindle work and delicate and re-
fined carving appropriate to the surround

this case one chimney will be all that is
required. In the second story bathroom,
two good sized chambers and two small
bedrooms will fill my demands for rooms.

Worlds Fair Fireworks.
ESPECIAL Correenondencc1

CHICAGO, Aug. 29,-We are going to have
fireworks ad galore here next October. It
is to be display on scale and OF a mag
nitude never before attempted OH either
side of the Atlantic. There seems to be
something fascinating about fireworks,
something that catches the old as we'll as
the young. Down at Atlantic City a oou-
pie OF weeks ago saw railway president,
who is noted alike for his austerity of man
ner and his severity OF disposition, sitting
on hard pine bench with his broad
brimmed straw hat tilted on the back of
his head and taking in the flight of the
rockets and bombs and the gyrations OF
the wheels aud other set pieces with as
much glee as the tow haired youngster in
knickerbockers that sat beside him.
The greatest crowd ever gathered in
Chicago was that attracted to the lake
front two years or so ago to witness the
fireworks display incidental to the exer-
cises commemorative of the centennial an
niversary of Washington's inauguration.
over third OF the city's population was
estimated to have turned out for the event.
and the throng was 30 dense and SO closely
packed that panic resulted, in which quite
number of people were more or less in
1ured and fully a score of children, sepa-
rated from their parents by the crush, were
lowing day.
But there is no possibility of repetition
OF this occurrence down ut Jackson park
some six weeks hence, for over the broad
acres there will be room for all that come.
and plenty to spare. Moreover, the dis
play Is to extend over three nights, and
each programme will be replete with
artistic and striking features, nearly every
one of n character never before attempted.
One piece, literal picture in fire, will
represent the departure of Columbus from
Spain. with the sailing of the caravels,
firing of the signal gun. spreading of sail,
weighing OF anchor, and finally the de-
parture of the ships from the harbor, all in
tongues of fame
Then there will be the largest flrewheel
to which torch has ever been applied, in
six mutations conferred with a United
States eagle and shield, with forty-three
wheels representing the states, and these

which feature OF the design, together with
the long, sloping roof and pretty lormer
window, broad veranda and neat octagon
bay window on the side, leaves little to be
desired as regards the exterior appearance.
From every point of view it looks well and
would make home Of which any one
might be proud. The lowest cost OF the
building would not be less than $3.50 or
5000. and could easily be made to cost
much more by using elaborate and expen-
sive finish inside. The main rooms are
heated by a hot air furnace.
