NO FRAME HOUSES.
South Africa Uses n Great Deal of
Brick and Cement in
Building.

South Africa is without a peer as
a customer for cement, says United
States Consul General Stowe at Cape
Town in a recent communication to
the department of state, according to
the Washington Star. All the build
ings there, he says, all the ware
houses, stores and residences, are
built of brick, cemented on the out
side, and no wood or frame" houses
are to be seen.
The bricks used in South Africa
are larger than American bricks, and
are ''laid up principally with mud"
the inferior clay found in that region,
instead of lime mortar or cement.
The cement comes into play in the
outside finish of the buildings. 1t is
laid over the whole surface, and the
expert Malay masons in South Africa
produce very pleasing and unique eff
fects in finishing up caps, columns
and holdings, closely initiating the
natural stone in this decorative work.
A striking effect is produced by
"spattering" some of the larger
buildings with cement, which pre-
sents a rough exterior very striking
and pleasing to the eye, and also dur
able.
The greater part of the cement inn
ported into South Africa last year,
states the consul general, came from
Great Britain. and over 125OOO,OOO
pounds into the country all told.
"When left the United States" says
Mr.. Stowe, "our manufacturers of ce-
ment were producing an article which
was proved by tests to be as good as
the English, and that cement ought
to find large market here. While
the United States at the present time
would be hampered on account of the
excessive steamship rates to this
country. which would prevent compe-
tition with the German and Belgian
cements, yet / am convinced with
equal rates the United States cement
could find a market here in large
quantities. Cement of the desired
quality will never be manufactured
here, as the ingredients do not exist"

Christmas and Christmas giving he ex-
pressed himself as follows:
when ! was boy in Scotland used
to get up at four o'clock Christmas
morning, and a crowd of us would go
through the village shouting at the
top of our voices: a merry Christmas!
Wake up! Wake up!' This sounded
the keynote to our Christmas. There
was little gift-giving; it was necessari-
ly frugal holiday, but it was full OF
good-natured merriment and we felt
the thrill of the true Christmas spirit.
1t was and is glorious time. 1t is
the children's carnival; the midsummer
of charity; the spring-tide of good will
to men; the time of year when the
heavens open and angels come down
to sing in the lone reaches of new
colonies to people in hospitals, poor
houses, and mansions, and the huts
where poor men lie I would not de-
grade the beautiful festival by overdo,
ing it. The man who does most for
his fellow-men, according to his means,
does best.
Still, | think it is not hard to see
how we may spare even at the Christ
mas-tide. and do more and better than
if we spend. If a man spends the
money he ought to save to pay his
debts, when he knows very well that
he can pay them only by saving, the
giving what he buys right and left
with an open hand, is to his own shame.
Not penny ought to be laid out in
gifts we can well let alone. We should
never spend when we ought to spare,
especially if we have families. One of
the saddest things / have seen in my
life has been families left destitute
through certain easy-going generosi-
ty in the man out of whose life they
sprang, who laid up nothing for a
rainy day. l can easily imagine how
such man would be glad to exchange
his harp and crown. if he should find
himself in Heaven, for good six-per-
cent. stock-supposing man could 60
there who, through his own careless
ness, has left a wife and family of lit
tie children without a penny in the
world" 4"

doors are attached by means of
hinges. These boxes are placed on
end so as to support the desk ledge
and bookcases.
Three boards are driven together
and placed across the upper ends of
them, and made fast with screws.
The bookcases can be two long
shoe boxes of even size, and arranged
with shelves somewhat as shown in
the drawing.
Across the top a shelf is placed and
made fast. This will bind the cases
together and prevent them from NOV
ing, while at the same time the bot
tom of each box can be made fast to
the desk top.
Simple curtains of some light mate
rial are fastened at the top and half

that when desired they may be drawn
across to hide the shelving and books.
Drawers can be made in the lower
cases to accommodate writing mate
rials, and the closets below them will
be quite large enough to harbor mag
azines, pamphlets, etc.
Halfway from the desk ledge to the
top of the window shelf can be ar
ranged to hold two or three glass
bowls from which growing vines can
climb on the curtains or on fine wires
strung across from case to case.
The shelving in the cases should
be placed the proper distances apart
to accommodate books of various
sizes, the smaller volumes at the top
and the larger ones at the bottom as

CHAPTER VI.-CoNTINUED.

Reassuring as he meant his words
to be, Marshall Dean himself looked
anxiously about at the unprotected
walls. Not even the customary dug
out" or underground refuge seemed to
have been prepared. Almost every
homestead, big or little, of those days,
had its tunnel from the cellar to a
dugout near at hand, stocked with
provisions and water and provided
with loopholes commanding the neigh
borhood, and herein the besieged
could take refuge and stand off the
Indians until help should come from
the nearest fort. The name of Fol
som is our safeguard" said Mrs. Hal,
In her happy honeymoon days, but
that was before the mother told her
of the threats of Burning Star or the
story of the Ogallalla girl he vainly
loved. IAN that happened so long ago."
she murmured, when at last the tale
was told. But Hal should have known,
If she did not, that even when it
seems to sleep Indian vengeance is
but gaining force and fury.
Presently Mrs. Hal came tripping
forth again, little carte de visite in
her hand, a smile of no little signfti-
cance on her lips. Now, Mr.. Dean,
will you tell me what you think of that
for pappoose?'
And with wonderment in his eyes
the young officer stod and held it and
gazed.
There stood Pappoose, to be sure,
but what a change! The little maiden
with the dark braids of hair hanging
far below her waist had developed into
tall slender girl, with clear-cut oval
face, crowned by mass of dark tress-
es. Her heavy, low-arching brows
spanned the thoughtful deep, dark
brown eyes that seemed to speak the
soul within and the beautiful face was
lighted up with a smile that showed
just a peep of faultless white teeth,
cleaning through the warm curves of
her soft, sensitive lips. The form was
eXquisitely rounded, yet supple and
erect.
Hasn't Jessie written you of how
Nell has grown and improved?" said
Mrs. Hall with a woman's quick note
of the admiration and surprise in
Deans regard.
"She must have" was the answer,
"Pm sure she has, but perhaps
thought it schoolgirl rhapsody
haps l had too many other things to
think Of"
perhaps you'll find it superseding
these too many other things, Mr.. Sol
der Boy" was Mrs. Halls mental com
ment. "Now, sir, if you've gazed
enough perhaps you'll tell me your
plans" and she stretched forth a re-
claiming hand.
But he hung on to the prize. Let me
keep it minute" he pleaded. ITS
theloveliest thing I've seen in months"
And, studying his absorbed face, she
yielded, her eyebrows arching, pret-
ty smile of feminine triumph about her
lips, and neither noticed the non-com-
missoned officer hurrying within the
gate, nor that half the men in "C'
troop at their bivouac along the
stream were on their feet and gazing
to northeast, that far down the valley
a horseman was speeding like the
wind, that little puffs of smoke were
rising from the crests of the grand
landmark of the range and floating
into the blue of the heavens. Both
started to their feet at the abrupt an
nouncement.
Lieutenant, there are smoke sig
mails on Lar'mie Peak"

If these are rubbed at once with
turpentine they come off quite easi-
ly, but if they have been allowed to
dry a little ammonia should be mixed
with the turpentire, provided it is a
fast color" material. If the color is
one that is likely to be injured, drop
little sweet oil on the spot, then
rub with turpentine, removing the
grease spot afterward by rubbing
with benzine or ether.
