COOPER AND his BROKEN Tw1G.

Cooper's gift in the way of invention
was not rich endowment; but such as
it was he liked to work it, he was pleased
with the effects, and indeed he did some
quite sweet things with it. In his little
box of stage properties he kept six or
eight cunning devices, tricks, articles
for his savages and woodmen to deceive
and circumvent each other with, and he
was never so happy as when working
these innocent things and seeing them
CO. A favorite one was to make moe
casined person tread IN the tracks of
the moceasined enemy, and thus hide his
own trail. Cooper wore out barrels and
trick. Another stage property. that he
pulled out of his box pretty frequently
was his broken twig. He priced. his
broken twig above all the rest of his
effects and worked it the hardest. It
is a restful chapter in any book of his
when somebody doesn't step on a dry
twig and alarm all the reds and whites
for 200 yards around. Every time a Coo
per is in peril, and absolute silence is
worth $4 q minute he is sure to step on
dry twig There may be a hundred
handler things to step on, but tha*
wouldn't satisfy Cooper. Cooper requires
him to turnout and find a dry twig: and
if he cannot do it, go and borrow one.
In fact thesLeather Stocking Series ought
to have been called the broken twig

THE ENGLISH BUNGALOW.
Now Fashionable TO apply the Word


The word s'bungalow' properly an
East Indian term, is now applied IN
England to all summer cottages. Ordi-
narily it is taken to mean low, rather
SQUAT, one-story house with broad YER
anda and latticed windows. This is the
tropical form, but in England it appiles
to ANYTHING short of villa puiIt TOT
summer uses, usually entirely OF Wood'
but at times with plastering adoed.
These summer cottages have long been
familiar to us land may be found py
the hundreds in all the remoter resorts,
being often built at as low figure as
$500 and often less. Lathing and pias-
tering are omitted, and they are ceiled
with Georgia pine. A brick fireplace in
the sitting room distributes it's heat
in the damp and chilly mornings and
evenings. The partitions are wood, and
an abundance of doors and WINDOWS
essential most desired and of most i'm
portance. Sitting-room and dining.r9om
are the only necessary rooms, with a
Kitchen shut off as much as possible,
that neither heat nor odors of cooking
NAV make themselves evident. Bay win
dows, a big piazza, and for the rest,
the simplest sort OF 1qrn1ture anu ras reot
need not be a fiction. Plenty OF nam
moclxs will take the place of lounges,
and Shaker arm and rocking chalrS are
both comfortable and substantial In
summer cottages one may try the rules
given for homemade furniture ana
pacSing-box toilet tables and wash
Stands have here a justification that ex-
lists nowhere else. The Englishwoman
has never learned these malSeshifts, and
in this respect her bungalow has no
kinship with the American, which is, 1t
may may be added as a rule far more gen
timely comfortable.

.ROBBED AT HIS SUP
PER TABLE.

John Snowden is near-sighted and
He is reputedt to have considerable
property and money. At half past nine
@ clock last night, while he was eat
ing his supper in his house in the rear
of No. 526 Newark avenue. two men
entered the room.
They were strangers to Snowden. The
first manto enter carried a revolver and
he demanded money. The old man
made some remonstrance, just what he
is yet too bewildered to say, and the two
men rushed ait him. Snowden was
struck over the head with some heavy
instrument and knocked down. He be-
came unconscious and while in that
helpless condition the burglars began
to rumage the closets for valuables.
snowden regained consciousness while
the burglars were thus employed, and ne
cried "Murderr' with such vim and
energy that his unwelcome visitors be
came frightened and fed. Snowden'
outcries attracted attention. and po-
liceman caused him to be taken to the
Oakland avenue police station in an
ambulance.
His wounds which are serious were
attended there and snowden was removed
to the City Hospital. He is unable tt
give the police an accurate description
