LOG CABIN BUILT BY WOMEN.

gable over the porch we secured logs
of smaller size than for the body
of the house, and peeled off the bark
in order to have the gable light
color and give the house a fancy fin
ish. The flooring was of boards, and
the 'chinking' or filling in of the
cracks between the logs which formed
the walls we accomplished by means
of a tough moss obtained from around
the roots of old trees and the rocks.
at took the four of us three days
to gather sufficient moss for the pur-
pose, and when we had enough to fill
all the cracks we each took a chisel
and hammer, and wedging pieces of
moss in the cracks, we hammered
them snugly into place. When fin
ished the walls were pretty and
unique. To make an appropriate fin
ishing we fastened to the walls va
rious trophies of the chase, such as
guns, deer heads, fishing rods and
tackle, etc, and then proceeded to
make the furniture. This was also fin
ished in the rough.
"A complete little desk, with drop
front, pigeon-holes for documents, and
everything handy and complete inside,
was in the rough; the table was
smooth on top and had the rustic fin
ish on the sides, while the chairs were
formed into inviting and comfortable
armchairs by means of gnarled
branches and roots, which curved suf-
ficiently to give the required easy
chairs and sofa. A bookcase was also
finished in rustic style. For the porch
we made large easy chair, and the
horse block for dismounting from a
horse or carriage was made of one
piece of the trunk of a large tree,
with high supports formed from little
saplings.
I'VE had many difiiulties to over
come because of our ineXperience, but
they only served to inspire us with
fresh enthusiasm, and when that
house was completed we viewed our
scratched and roughened hands with
placid indifference and ignored the
kinks in our necks which we had
acquired from the sideways position

HOUSE BUILT BY WOMEN.
Four of Them Did All the Work, Even
to saving Down the Trees and
Lifting the Logs.

Near the border of Moosehead lake,
in Maine, is a picturesque little log
house built by four women. Mrs. A.
T.. Sanden, an active member of the
Little Mothers Aid association, on
whose ground the house was erected,
participated in the work, which, al
though hard, proved novel and enter
tanning.
"We enjoyed every minute of the
time we expended in building the
little house." said Mrs. Sanden. eve
happened upon the idea in the mid
summer, when we were discussing
with our guests the various means of
diversion at hand, and the plan was
evolved to build loghouse and do all
the work on it, even to getting the
lumber. We entered upon our talk
with the greatest enthusiasm, and
| after some discussion decided that the
house should contain one room IL by
ii feet in dimensions. We then COM
puted the length to be obtained in the
logs, and the next day started on our
logging expedition.
The particular piece of woods from
which we decided to get the lumber
was situated less than half a mile
from the house, and the spruce trees
with their pretty bark were selected
as the most even and attractive. Each
log had to be seven inches in diameter.
when we located promising look
ing tree of sufficient height we got
out our saw and set to work. The
saw was of the kind having a handle
at each end, and was manipulated by
two of us at a time. When two of
us got tired the other two shared the
work, and in this manner we sawed
down the lumber. When the tree was
down we measured with one of those
long tape measures the required
length and sawed off the surplus por-
tion from the tip. When we had Sc
cured two logs we began to feel a
homeward inclination. Two of us took
one of the logs between us on our
shoulders, while the other two carried
the second log in a similar manner.
We arrived at home triumphant and
hungry.
81 think it took so logs to complete
the house, and we went logging every
day for six weeks to get them. As we
brought home the logs we placed them
loghouse fashion, one on top of the
other, crossing at the corners, and
we carefully clipped off all the
branches or rough places, so they pre-
sented a nice appearance. We decided
to have little porch, which was sup
| ported by Dillars made of lops in the
rough, and our foundations we made
of pieces of rock obtained from the
shores of the lake. For the little

situation. Finally one guileless mem-
ber found a way out of the difficulty.
''Grant the request" he said. "She is

own mind. She will soon tire of her fad
and we will never hear of her again."
The advice was followed, but not with

ed herself before the members of the
guild in the city of Holding and sub
mitted a pair of shoes made in every
detail by herself as proof of her skill
and knowledge of the trade, according
to old-established customs, and applied
for membership in the guild. Her
master proof was carefully examined
and found TO be perfect in every detail
and so beautifully finished th5 It the ex-
amining members not alone grant
ed her a membership, but also
awarded her the guild medal, which
is only presented on most ex-
traordinary occasions, and 1T was
further decided to have the shoes sent
to the Danish department of the Paris
exposition as the first pair of shoes
ever made by Danish woman, and, as
far as known, by any woman in Eu-
rope.
Miss Olesen is now 21 years of age.
She expresses herself as delighted with
her trade and would not exchange it
for domestic or any other employment.
She expects to establish herself in
Copenhagen as n custom shoemaker
and hopes to induce other women to
come to her and learn the trade.

Edgar F. Howe, in the Los Angeles
Herald Of recent date, points oat q
way to prevent loss Of water from the
irrigation reservoirs of arid America
through evaporation. Among other
things he says; "The one point Of inn
portance just now is preventing
evaporation, and experiments have
demonstrated to me that that can be
almast or entirely done BY the simple
process, of covering the water OF the
reservoir with a film Of crude petro-
leum, while this treotmsnt would, ,even
on the larger reservoirs, be OF COM
paratively slight cost. No matter in
what way the water might be turned
into the reservoir, the protecting
blanket Of oil would always be on the
surface, and as the water is drawn
from the bottom of the reservoir,
there would be no loss Of the oil, nor
would the water be in the slightest
degree tainted b, the oil.
