Of the house. OF course it must be con-
yenient, but that alone is not sufficient.
This plan has four principal rooms
on the first floor, besides hall, pantry,
bathroom and closets, and on the sec
ond floor three main rooms. The con-
venience of the interior is apparent on
examination of the floor plans. In the
first story are the staircase hall, parlor,
sitting-room, dining-room, kitchen,
pantry, bathroom, store closet, water
closet, etc. The four front rooms are
connected by wide sliding doors. The
entrance is at the front or either side.
As you pass through the front door you
enter a handsome reception and stair
hall, abundantly lighted and with a
prettily designed staircase, all in red
oak. The main stairway terminates in
a large hall above, from which the
rooms on the second floor are easily ac-
cessible. At the left ia the first story,
is the Parlor, and to the rear is the din
ing-room. Back of the parlor is large
sitting room. The paTior and dining

To one not experienced in the art of
building it is no easy task to decide
upon the best arrangement of rooms in
a house and the style of architecture
most suitable for particular locality
which may be built within stipulated
limit of cost. A great many people de-
lay building because they do not know
what may be done through economical
and careful planning. By this is meant
economical and careful planning in the
arrangement of the floor plan. Com
pact floor plans save labor, and in the

section of the world like ours, compact
ness and convenience is a serious de-
sideratum.
An artistic house goes beyond being
a pretty one, having in it the elements
of large comprehension, a fullness of
refinement, a combination of beauty
and sense.
These plans represent a compact and
tasteful house. 1t is modern in style
and arrangement and contains fair
share of modern improvements. Home
means rest, quiet and simplicity. Not
that a house must be bare and simple
in every part, but simplicity must be
the keynote. Certain parts, both inside
and out, can of course be deliberately
treated. But it must seem natural and
not an isolated piece of work, and the
reason for such elaboration must be APP
parent. Certainly we do not need to
speak of the convenient arrangement

room have freplaces provided with pref
ty wood mantels. The dining-room
communicates with the kitchen through
the pantry with doors on spring hinges
to swing both ways. A large china
closet is placed between the dining
room and pantry and is accessible from
either side. From the back hall stair
way leads to the second floor, and there
are stairs to the cellar under this
flight. The back door is under a warm
porch, off of which is a water closet for
outside use. The kitchen is intended to
have a good portable range with hot
water boiler. The pantry is fitted up
with sink, shelves, drawers, bins and
pastry table.
This house is built in a thorough and
substantial manner. The foundation
and cellar wall is of good stone laid up

1t is stated of a certain man that he
would not sell land to be used as
city addition on the grounds that the
streets would be open on Sunday. 1t

from all accounts the Setes of Heaven
must be closed on Sunday but it is
probable that the gates of hell are
open all the time-seven days in the
week-to accommodate the crowds.
We ought not to be silly about these
things. We ought to respect every

RED IN ARCHITECTURE.
Baltimore Engineer Says 1t Cause.
Optic Malformations.

baltimore Engineer says II Causes
Optic Malformations.
William A. Goodrich, A. NJ, architect
and engineer at Baltimore, Md, has
given some very interesting opinions re-
garding the use of red as a color for
buildings. He says this color produces
many optic and astigmatic malforma-
tons" Also speaks of the soothing eff
feet upon the optic nerve of change
from a red brick street to yellow, buff,
or white facades. Further, that there
seems to be a lateral convoluted con-
centric ray ever active when red brick
is in mass. The sensation is a twisting
or rending of the nerves that focus the
sight rays, so that they cross and re-
cross each other in irregular curves and
angles and tangents." This produces
the deformities that engender myoptic
and astigmatic optics. In city built
largely of red brick large per cent. of
the population, even little children, are
specialized. Nature uses this color very
sparingly. Red blossoms are seldom
fragrant. This color is not often seen
in any remedial agent in a college of
pharmacy. Mr.. Goodrich greets glad
ly the architectural change wherein
mellow shades of white, yellow, buff,
drab and pearl are giving an appear
ance of luxury and refinement to streets
that red could never assume. He cites
a case where Partisan landlord paint
ed his store front a glaring red. This
so detracted from the show windows
and refracted such glare on the goods
displayed across the way, causing them
to show in such uncanny colors, that it
hindered their sale. The courts award
ed heavy damages 10 the merchants and
the landlord was compelled to remove
the obnoxious red color.-Chicago In

CHARGED WITH FORGERY.
John Malone Arrested at Bridgeport, Last
Evening,

Yesterday evening a.stranger giving
his name as John Malone, was arrested
at the Sherman House, at Bridgeport,
by officer Thompson on the charge OF
passing a forged note on William Mat
thews, a store keeper at Wheeling
Creek.
Malone, or whatever his name may
be, worked his game pretty slick. He
went into Matthews store and handed
him note with the name of Walter
Biddington. the mine boss at the
Wheeling Creek mines, signed to it.
1t read as follows:
please give the bearer, John Ma
lone, s. and charge to me.
WALTER BIDDINGToN.
Malone made several purchases,
amounting to SO and was given 81 In
cash He stated he had just came TO
the mines and was going to work there.
Matthews, who has been in the habit
of cashing notes signed by Biddington
for the miners. had his suspicious
aroused by the strangers actions. and
as soon as he left the store hunted Bid
dington up and asked him about the
matter. He said he had not given
note to any man by that name. Mat
thews then hunted up an officer and
short time later found his man in the
Sherman House, where he had secured
a nights lodging. He was placed in
Jail and will probably be given hear
ing to-day.

"A Jay in New YORK. IN which Je-

theatrical production somewhat out OF

combination OF musical farce comedy
and vaudeville. and Mr.. Jerome has
added the cinemotogaphe, conceded TO
be the greatest automatic picture ma
chine in the world. The views last
night were excellent, but were trifie
indistinot on account of a lack of powl
err, a defect which will be remedied to-
night. AS matter of course, Miss
Maud Nugent was given an ovation,
and she sang several new songs. Mr..
Jerome's parodies made pronounced
hit. The whistling so.oist is very pleas
ing, and the man from Ireland is
characteristic son of Erin, who enter
tains with jokes and songs. The theatre
was crowded last night. and the viva
voce advertising which the production

houses during the remainder of the en-
gagement, which includes a special New
