16 feet wide by 43 feet deep, built entire
ly of brick, with Bedford stone trim
mings, and has the usual little frontstoop
of four steps. It has a double front door,
inside of which is a 5-foot hallway, with
q parlor IS feet 2 inches long bye feet
/ inch wide ON the left. There is a
handsome walnut cabinet built into a
niche in the parlor, and walnut folding
doors connect the room with the dining
room just behind. The dining con is
10 feet by 10, just big enough to hold an
ordinary dining table and chairs. 1t has
q small china closet.
The kitchen is at the rear of the dining
room and measures 0 feet 6 inches by Z
feet 4 inches. 1t has a stationary range,
with hot water apparatus and room for
coal bins. A piazza Q feet wide runs
along the west side of the house and at

be built for $500, but the model d
jackson park cost nearly double tina
amount, owing to the cost of transport
ing the materials and the higher wages
of workmen in the Worlds fair city.

Fortunate Youth.

The passengers ON an inbound train IN
the Boston and Albany railroad were
greatly amused one afternoon lately by
the actions of a gay Lothario. When the
train stopped at Natick, a handsome
young man vfss seen standing on the
platform bidding an affectionate adieu
TO an equally fine looking young wom-
an. She nestled up to her fond admirer
and brushed imaginary specks of the
lapel of his coat.
AS the train was about to start he
made an effort to embrace the idol OF his
heart, hut was rsbuked by the young
woman. who remarked:
Not here, Fred: there are too many
people around"
So Fred whispered a sweet goodby
and jumped aboard the now moving
train.
AS the cars sped on to Boston, Fred
rapidly forgot tho girl he had left be-
hind him and seemed to care but little
for the attention that was shown to him
by those of his fellow passengers who
had witnessed the parting at Nstick.
But Fred had another treat in store for
the passengers. When the train pulled
up at Huntington avenue, he alighted
with a merry heart, and before the peo-
pie in the car could fully realize what
had happened was in the arms of an
other fine young woman. This time he
found no difficulty in implanting a kiss
on the right spot. and the happy pair
walked off together, totally oblivious OF
the fun they had created. Everybody In
the car giggled. and persons who were
entire. strangers to n another freely
discussed that affecting scene from real
| life.--Boston Herald.

Philadelphia is going to show the rest

long been preaching the gospel of cheap
homes, but has hitherto had to content
herself with pictures and descriptive
text to bring her preachments home to
those who could not go the City of
Brotherly Love. Now she re-enforces
her discourse by a practical illustration

President Lincoln had TO select his
cabinet with great care. The situation
was so critical and the people were so
divided by factions and by the great
questions before the country that ii was
necessary TO have cabinet which could
work together and in which there should
be no unharmonious or antagonistic
elements. Among the first members
chosen were Seward as secretary of
state, Montgomery Blair as postmaster
general and Salmon p. Chase as secre.
tlry OF the treasury. The choice of
Mr. Chase hung fire for some time, Il was

Seward, and II was at this time that
