for burning gas or oil. The reason
for this Is that the builder will not give
the architect his own way or else at
tempts an economy in line where he
thinks it will not show. If plans are
carefully prepared by those who have
had wide experience and who always
avail themselves of expert advice in
every branch of construction, and If
they are scrupulously followed by the
contractor, there is little chance for
failure in the heating line. On the
other hand, if plan for a house IN
one locality is copied or modified for
a different location. or if an inexpe-
rienced person draws up "pretty de-
sign" that suits his individual taste
and gives it to q builder to work out,
there is certain to be many expensive
experiments before the house is tit to
live in during our severe winters.
Among the ccntrollable causes OF Ill
health is the excessively variable or
foul indoor atmosphere due to the de-
fects in the modes of warming without
considering that of ventilation. Tho
different modes of warming may be
divided into three classes: Open fire.
places, stoves Including furnaces) and
steam or hot water. A comparison of
these various methods must include
the cost of apparatus, She cost of at
tendance, of fuel and the incidental ad-
vantages and disadvantages belonging

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Celery is one of the most valuable OF

ferers from rheumatism, nerve troubles
and nervous dyspepsia.
To remove sar from any kind OF
cloth, saturate the spot and rub 1t

Of the tar may be removed.
Water carrying q little salt in solu-3
tion is said to be an excellent wash for
tired or infsmed eyes, when stronger
solutions may prove injurious.
If brooms are dipped in pail OF
hot suds for minute or two once a.
week 1t will make them tough and PHI
able and they will last much longer.
The discovery that cold coffee is an
excellent tonic for growing plants
should do away with the last remnants
of the custom of warming over cold
coffee.

fifteen or twenty minutes IN very hos

placing the iewelry in a box OF Jew

Tes or coffee stains in linen may be
removed by moistening the spots With
water and holding them over the fumes
of burning match. Then wash I'M
mediately with water in which little
ammonia or soda has been dissolved.
Silks or ribbons that are to be

satin should be folded in blue paper
and brown paper put outside and
pinned closely together at the edges.
A simple disiniectant to use in al
sick room is made by putting some
ground coffee in saucer and IN the
center small piece of camphor gum.
Light the gum with match. As the
gum burns allow the coffee to burn
with it. The perfume is refreshing
and healthful as well as inexpensive.
A shelf over the door in dining
room is an excellent place for large
and highly colored pieces of china,
which may thus be made very orna-
mental to the room. Many Of the new
houses are finished with a narrow
shelf around the dining-room walls at
the height of the door; 1t is intended
for plaques.

an economical and effective plan. One
Of the most important problems that
confronts the builder of home in
this latitude is that of heating-to
thoroughly inaugurate healthy sys-
tenn of warming; and at the same time
the saving of fuel must engage his
serious attention. It bothers him even
if he means to be shut up by four
brick walls, with houses on either side
and with narrow city streets to break
the rude force Of the wind, Even
here he must calculate closely and re.
ceive expert advice. But if he pro.
poses to build q suburban house, a

exposed situation, the problem be.

ance. If he fails of perfect success
land this is too frequently the fate OF
the builder) it may mean more than
unforeseen expense for fuel. It may
render his house we'll nigh uninhabit-
able in the severest weather.
Those who are most likely to expe.
rience such troubles as this are, of
course, those who dispense with the
services of experienced architects, who
prefer to build "out of their own
heads" They may hit it right the
first time, but in this case they are
the benefciaries of a lucky accident.
Heating is branch of practical sci
ence that needs as careful study as
plumbing, as ventilation or santa
tion in fact, it is rather more intri-
cate end important than any of these.
The choosing of the method OF heat
ing, whether by hot Dir, hot water or
steam, is not all that is to be done.
The location of the furnaces, the size
and number of pipes, the matter of
draughts and cold air supply, the
placing of register or radiators to se.

against loss of heat by radiators

taken up; a1d how often does it hap.
pen that when the builder has settled
them all, satisfactorily as he believes,
there proves to be some weak point
that gives endless trouble and ex-
pense.
It is, of course, impossible to say
what proportion of houses that have
been standing few years have only
the heating apparatus originally
planned for. But, if the exact facts
could be known, the results would
doubtless be astonishing. Hardly one

Caught a Huge Deyilflsh.

The San Francisco Examiner says
that the LARGO boys, since their peril
ous adventure with the devilfish in
Santa Barbara channel, have been the
center of much attention. The dried
carcass of the nonstrous creature they
have preserved as trophy of the event,
and never tire Of telling the tale OF
their narrow escape.
The boys were tending to their nets
when suddenly large and slimly arm
CT an octopus was thrown over the bow
of the boat. This was quickly followed
by second and a third. The little
sloop strained and cresked under the
strong arms of the devilfsh. The
arms were quickly followed by the
enormous body of the ferocious sea
monster, and the boys realized that
they had big fight on their hands.
The octopus fought stubbornly and
made several endeavors to wind an
arm about the young men, but they
knew the danger of its powerful limbs
and kept clear of them. A we'll di-
rected blow caught the devllfsh be-
tween the eyes. His hold on the boat

TO MAKE THE purrKR SWEET.

If the cooking butter seems rancid
when needed for fancy cakes and other
delicate cookery it may be restored
by melting it in water bath with
some freshly burnt and coarsely,
powdered animal charcoal, which has
been thoroughly freed from dust by
sitting and straining it through Q
clean flannel. A better and less
troublesome method is to thoroughly
wash the butter first with good new
milk and next with cold spring water.
Butyric acid, on the presence OF which
rancidity depends, is freely soluble in
fresh milk. After washing press the
butter with the hands until the water
and milk are removed, then lightly
squeeze the lump of butter in a towel,
put into shape until all liquid is re-
moved, and keep in cool place until
used,
