Building "A Home.

So many people are now building
homes for themselves that lew
hints on the subject may not come
amiss. One Of the first considera-
tiops is the location. A sunny slope
is always one OF the most desirable
places to build house, so that one
may have the advantage OF good
drainage and the whoiesomeness Oh
a cheerful exposure. One can hardly
have too much sun, in spite Of the
old-fashioned prejudice against u.
The house should face the sun, and
the southeast is considered the best
exposure. This will bring the kitchen
and pantries on the north side OF the
house, where they should be. lf the
house is to be heated by furnace, the
cellar walls should be eight feet high,
at least, to allow room to walk under
the pipes which convey the he2t TO
the floors above. A low-walled cellar
is a mistake in any case, as laundry
or supplementary kitchen can other
wise be had on the ground floor, or
workshop for the man OF the house.
II the bay window usually found on
the southern side of modern houses
runs down to the cellar, here is an
excellent place to winter geraniums,
fuchsias and other plants which have
outgrown plant-stands or shelves.
The kitchen proper should always be
located little one side OF the main
building, when it is on the same floor
as the dining and living room, as 1t
usually is in the country, so as TO pre-
vent direct draught when the front
doors are open and bring in the odor
OF cooking Too little attention IS
paid to this one item in building,
though it is essential to healthy and
agreeable atmosphere. Some houses
are built in such way that it is inn
possible not to perceive what has
been the menu Of the last meal on
entering the front door, and there Is
a blending of all the past meals hang
ing about the rooms. Such an atmos-
phere as this must be unwholeSOme.
The door which communicates be-
tween the kitchen and main house
should have strong spring on 1t, 50
that it cannot be left open through
negligence. There should always be
a ventilator in the kitchen window,
which should be open at all times,
and an abundance Of windows for
light and ventilation. The angle
formed by the extension Of the kitch-
en- beyond the main house may be
utilized either for a back piazza or a
small conservatory an item of ex'
pense not necessary if piazza is de-
cided upon; but when building, few
additional dollars here and there are
not grudged by the majority of peo-
pie, particularly if.a taste or hobby
if to be gratified, and the flower lover
who thus secures a long wished for
conservatory will never regret what
may seem at first sight an extraYa-

the many duties imposed upon this body.
The new board is composed OF young, ener-
getic men, who are fully awake to Mercer's
every interest
}. s. Davis of the senior class left this
morning for Bulloch where he will take
charge of large and fourishlng school.
The salary paid Mr.. Davis is quite hand
some one.
IL there Is one day in which a college
boy looks to as being of more Importance
than another it is the day on which the
"sophs" try for places. The present. sopho-
more class at Mercer is not an exception TO
the rule, which has been clearly proved by
the interest manifested in preparing their
speeches. Friday was the DAY appointed
for the contest and at the ap-
pointed hour the faculty and fifty
OF the class meet in the Cireronian
hali, where the contest was to take
place. The result was as follows: Kyle
Alfriend, A. T. O., Hancock county; J. c.

Peculiar Building, Supposed to Fave
Been a Counterfeiters' Den.


Been a Counterfeiters' Den.
From the PHILADELPHIA Press.
BROOKLYN, April "A mysterious un-
foreground building in state OF remarka-
bic preservation has been unearthed by
workmen on Linwood street. 1t is proba-
bly, the one-time resort OF gang of coun-
terfeiters, who, thirty years ago, were
known to have a headquarters in that local
tty, but the whereabouts of which could
never be ascer tanned.
One Of the workmen, while digging for a
cellar this afternoon, suddenly came upon
an iron ring, securely fastened in a huge
stone slab about two feet square. The
slab was lifted, disclosing a narrow stone
stairway. The foreman ordered digging
about the stairway, and in q couple Of hours
the entire front OF stone building stood re-
vealed. Three feet below the surface of
the earth the men uneartbed the arched
brick roof. A heavy iron door wGs Iried
of and the men entered and saw inside
second complete building made of brick.
This building was also guarded by heavy
iron door, similar to the one on the main
building. Four clay pipes six inches in d.
ameter, rose through the roof of the main
building to the top of the earth aud fur
nishsd the ventilation for the place.
From actual measurement the main or
outside building was l5x18 feet. The door
of the smaller building was next forced
open, disclosing q tomb-like interior. On
either side we're two large chambers about
3x8 feet. In this inner building the fore
man found on the floor several pieces of
metal, which he intends to have examined.
