IN INGENIO US HOUSE.

She has probably seen better days
than Sunday and Saturday. And in
those better days she was probably as
full of discomfort as she has been dur
ing the last two days. We don't know
how she will make herself comfortable
in summer or winter unless she imi-
tates German inventor and builds
q house like his. He first put up a
frame of water-tubing, allowing con-
tinuous circulation to stream of
water Around this frame he put up his
house in the ordinary way. The Pc
culiarity is that all floors and ceilings
are crossed and recrossed by the water
pipes. The water, having passed
through horizontal tubes under the
floor and ceiling, passes through the
vertical tubes until all have been gone
through. In summer fresh cool water
circulates under pressure through the
network of tubes, cools off the walls
and, after having run its course, flows
considerably warmer than when it en-
tered In its course it has absorbed
much heat, which it carries away.
During the winter the water entering
through the basement is first heated
to nearly 100 degrees and then forced
through the tubing. OF course much
of the heat is left all over the house
and at the outlet the temperature OF
the water is about 40 degrees. The
speed of the circulation Of water can
be regulated so as to allow fixing a
certain temperature equally throughout
the building.
This is certainly an ingenious house
But what a time there would be if by
some mistake all the water pipes in
such a house should freeze some cold
night. The best way out of the scrape
would probably be to deed the house tc

rs THERE HERRSP IN CHICAGog


There is now no heresy in Connectl-
cut, and in the light OF recent events
we do not see how there can be any
more, for 1t appears to be pretty we'll
established here that preacher can
say what he pleases provided he says it
in way TO please. But in bad, wicked
Chicago there is heresy, or something
which win be heresy, unless the aceus-
ed has luck with his jury. The Chicago
man accused of heresy is Presbyterian
minister, and the sum and substance
of the charge against him is that he
does not adopt the confession of faith
of his church without equivocation,
evasion or mental reserve" OF course
this makes him hereto, If it is true,
and it will be interesting to see how
much proof is brought. 1t will also be
interesting to see his case dealt with,
as it doubtless will be without equivo-
casion, evasion or mental reserve" We
hope the poor man will be found as
free from heresy as Brother Brown was,

to the hair and seem longer than the
other groove, which adds to the. rakish
effect. There is only needed crisp

emphasize the points. and there you are

Now and then a child In seen topped
by a hat that is as heavy with bloom
and foliage as is her stylish mammals,
but while blossoms are generally har-
monious with youth 1t never seems
nice to let little girl have the appear
ance of being overloaded with any sort
of fashionable developments. A few
flowers are all right on the child's hat,
but the flower bed is not becoming, and
some mothers prefer ribbon to the
bloom. 1t is a response to this prefer
ence that the artist pictures here a
child's hat of rough mordore straw,
with a moderately high sailor crown
and straight brim that curls up at the
edge. 1t is faced on the inside with
mordore satin and is prettily and sim
ply trimmed with twisted mordore rib
bon that shows fine white stripe.
This forms upright loops and ends at
the left side with two white quilts
stuck through and smaller loops on the
right whose edges touch the brim.

Some people have patience and per-
sistence. A. T. Hensley, of Texas, is
one Of them. In 1868 he had the good
fortune, as he supposed, to get an or
der to supply pine flooring and rough
timber to the army. He fulfilled his
contract, and ever since then, for more
than thirty years. he has been endeav-
oring to collect his bill, working to Sc
cure the simultaneous passage by the
two houses Of congress and the sigma
ture of the President. Nine weeks ago,
learning that he was successful, he
went to Washington One would nat
urally suppose that the claim which
induced such a fight was a large one.
But when Mr.. Hensley signs his name
at the Treasury department for the
money, in the battle for which he has
grown gray, he will receive s432.
