of the illuStriOus men who have Deen
sheltered within its walls. 1t was built
in 1914 by Gen William Henry Harrl-
son. who presented it TO his bride.
There he dweit until he went TO the
White House. and where his nine chill
dren and his illustriOus grandson,
BENJAMIN Harrison, were born. Al
the time the house was built Harrl-
son was governor of the Northwestern
Territoy, and as the conqueror OF Te-
cumseh was a national hero. Ihose
were exciting days times of great per-
sonal danger, and no convenlenceS,
and the Harrison mansion, simple as
it was, was regarded then as aristo-
cratic and stately. The hospitality OF
its halls was famous. Not day pass
ed that it did not afford entertainment
for many guests. 1t is said that on
occasions no less than sixty guests sat
down together at the long mahogany
tables in the great sun-lit dining hall.
1t is said that the bride was not con-
tent unless her cook served three
kinds of meat on the festive board at
times when cattle were scarce. when
settlements were hundreds of miles
apart But wild duck and the fish in
the rivers were plentiful, and no
group of strangers or guests ever pass
ed the gate in their days journey who
were not begged to remain and share
the prodigal generosity of their host
and hostess In those days the estate,
now sadly dwindled to seven acres,
was composed of 600 acres. From
Gen. Harrison the estate passed to his
son, John Scott Harrison, gentle,
amiable man. with no financial abil-
ity. He lived there until his death in
| 1878, his property gradually diminish
ing until at his death he was actu-
ally a dependent. Benjamin Harrison
was born there and il was his home
until his marriage when he moved to
| Indianapolis. For years the old
house has been vacant. The gardens
have been overrun with wild insolent
weeds, the fields deserted, the great
rooms and halls lonely and dead. Not
even the ghost of former laughter and
hospitality has echoed for years along
| its spiral staircases. The spider, pitt
| full tenant, has swung his tent ropes
| from rafter to rafter. The lofty heads
| of the old oaks sigh among their lofty
crests at the saddened picture

In Tunis plumpness constitutes the

province, slenderness of form and
delicacy Of proportion are regarded as
disqualifications for the welded state
The fatter the maiden, the better

MAGIC OF FIGURES.
Trick in simple Subtraction That VIII
Puzzle Every One.

You can never tell what figures Will
properly handled. but some of them
are capable of the most bewildering
antics Here is method by which
figures may be made to tell secrets in
a way that will astOniSh those who
are not informed about how to do the
figuring. Ask some person to put
down unknown to you a number com
posed of three figures (say 1922. Tell
him to transpose the figures (making
26D and To subtract the lesser from
the greater. Then ask him to tell you
the first figure or the result, and you
can tell him the entire number For
instance, your first number in the
present aXample is 1872, which trans
posed makes 267. Subtract 267 from
762 and you have 495. The only fig
ure that you are told is 4, the first
of the result. All you have to do is
to subtract from 8, which will give
you 3. the last figure, and the central
figure is always o. So your number
Will be 495. This is true in all cases
where only three figures are used in
making up number. The central
figure will always be when the trans
posed number is subtracted from the
original number. and the two end
figures when added together will make
3. So. knowing either the first or last
figure of the result. you can give the
entire number.

"In looking after your servant do
not overlook the fact that she is a
woman, and very human, with all the
likes and dislikes. the love Of pleasure,
rest and recreation possessed by other
human beings" writes Mrs. S. T. Ror-
err in the May Ladies' Home Journal
IF she has not had the advantages Of
education. and knows but little of the
world, remember that she is SO much
the more to be pitied. Women, as a
class, from lack Of proper training, are
not businesslike. The housewife re-
tains the responsibility of all the detail
work rather than give it over to her
servant: hence the lack of interest and
responsibility or the part of the aver
age maid. If the housewife would but
allow her servant to become respon-
Sible for the great bulk of the detail
work much confusion would be avoid
ed. Persons become responsible only
by having responsibility placed upon
them, and servants. as a rule, feel the
importance of their work, according
to the trust which is reposed in them
and the responsibility which is placed
on them"

ACTIVE POWER IN COAL.
Cy~, Pound VIII Perform the Work OF
236 Horses.


236 Horses.
Let us take a pound OF what we will
call average coal, containing, say, TO-,
600 heat units. This would be some
what smaller in size than mans fist.
A pound of this coal, if expended in
mechanical work, would give us 236
horse power. Imagine at the time Of
the Pharaohs two long lines of men,
extended over half mile, all pulling
steadily at the command Of the task
master, at a great rope to raise some
huge obelisk. and as you see them
sweating, Juggling and straining, think
again OF this small lump Of coal in
which nature has placed an equal
amount of power. In some countries
men who have been specially trained
as porters to carry heavy loads on
their backs will, as a full days work,
carry total of from $50 to 600 pounds
a distance of one mile. And yet each
has expended but one-third of the
power stored up in this pound OF coal.
An exceptionally strong man has been
known to do one-half horse power of
work as his mightest effort, but in
two and one-half minutes work at this
rate exhausts his muscular force. Let
Us suppose 100 such men putting forth
such extreme effort at rope or crank
or crowbar; as they fall back, red
faced and putting. TO catch their
breaths. we might imagine this little
black lump saying to them: Il can
