 For the young or the less reflective or studious there gre pleasures of rowing. bath ing and amusements upon the river-bank. lake or seashore The upper deck on a moonlight night Is a charming place in which to sit in a deep, comfortable chair while the enchanting strains of guitar or banjo All the mir, to sing the old songs. to tell the best stories or to sit in blissful silence All of these things are part of the life peculiar to the floating home, and mo- where can their charm be felt as upon the water One who has spent many days of contentment on board these domestic ships" advises that for the small or cheaper boat the flat top or upper deck" be select ed. The quarters are necessarily small and cramped, and the wide expanse of deck Is inviting and affords freedom for exercise evea to the extent of dancing.
 Those who are not accustomed to the eti- ouette of the nautical fraternity must re- member that everyone who seeks to live upon the water must acquire the vocabulary of the sailor. The floating cottage will have Its port and starboard sides, main cabin, statcrooms, galley and upper and lower decks. Position will be known as either for ward or aft. One will sleep in berths, sit upon lockers and go aloft through the com panionway. In fact, when a man goes aboard" he must cease from that moment to be "landlubber." He must place his hands upon the waistband of his trousers and bring them into position by mea ns of the correct nautical kick backward. and If 1t is possible at the time to touch his cap to the skipper and wink at the bosun's mate the entering upon a floating existence" will be In keeping with its traditions.

Ihe scow or floating foundation can be made for $500, and should be built of oak and good quality of hard pine, with galvanized iron fastenings. The seams must be care fully eaulked with cotton. for dry, water tight foundation is even more necessary upon the water than upon the land. The outside can then be planed and painted with good quality of marine paint. The deck or floor should be hush with the sides. towing post and chocks for anchor ropes must be ar ranged for In laying the framework. The cottage part can be made for $500 Thls in- cludes q spruce foundation. pine covered roofs and sides. partitions, doors, windows. berths and lockers.

 Many advantages have been spoken of. but there is one other. the unrestricted free dom of the public waterways and the vast extent of territory that one may roam over at will, an advantage unobtninabe by the builder of house upon land. A light wood awning covers the upper deck in the plan shown. This will cost but little more than one of cloth and Its fittings. and will last great deal longer, besides being more rigid. (The cost of the roof Is included in our esti- mate. however, Curtains may be attached and the whole deck made ralntight and bab- itable upon stormy days. This will be found quite desirable, and particularly SO in small ''fioaters." Charming effects can be ob- taned by planting In boxes or pots climbing plants that will spread out over the rails and sides. It Is a hazardous addition in that if allowed to grow great care should be taken that moisture from them does not decay the wood. rowboat is a necessity and should have three pairs of oars, as 1t will be found that in moving the cottage short distances the boat can do so with considerable ease and speed. Quite desirable boat can be built for SIP, including oars. while good second hand one can be obtained for less

As there are many styles and many prices. this sort of furniture is the most desirable and will ne found very reasonable in price. It Is, of course, to be used upon the decks as well, and may be moved from place to place, or double supply obtained.

Woman Traps Rattlers.

Helena Mont, Letter to st. Paul Pioneer-Press.
The problem of how to catch and dispose
of the rattlesnakes at Ten Mile Point, near
here has been solved by Mrs. Daniel Dutro,
wife of a small farmer Instead of going
hunting for the reptiles, and running the
risk of being bitten by them, this woman
uses a mouse trap, and thus far has been
eminently successful in her undertaking.
Ten Mile Point has often been called
Rattlesnake Point on account of the large
number Of rattlers THAT thrive In that VI
entity Not a season goes by that severaI
cattle are not killed by them, and now and
then a human victim is claimed. Mike
Dutro and Jack Cornwall, the latter
noted snake catcher. have for long Ume
been irving to clear the place of reptiles,
but without success. Finally they sought
the aid of Mrs. Dutro.
s'Notfllslg more simple" said the woman,
as she smiled in a superior sort of way.
Instead of unfolding her plans to the men
and thus allowing them to gain all the
glory, she secured number of common
circular mouse traps which she baited ana
tired to her own room to sleep the sleep
of the just. When she entered the Kitchen
in the morning she found that each trap
was filled. In each hole was snake, which
had been attracted by the bait. and which
had been choked to death. when the trap
was sprung. All the other traps, which
had been set in various places about the
farm, contained snakes. and on counting
the kill 1t was found that sixteen had been
captured. The smallest was trifie more
than foot in length, while the largest
was four feet and had eight rattles. IL
the supply of traps holds out Mrs. Dutro
expects to rid the Point OF snakes.
