of. The only extravaganza which Tom n- sisted upon was In the use of rustic or lat ticed windows in the front and upon the sides of the building. It was necessary, he explained, that these should be used else the house would be commonplace and cheap in appearances; they should be hinged, ana not hung upon sash cords, and therefore pc more like glass doors than the window com monly in use. The exterior walls were U be half timber work of two-ineh stuff SC curely spiked to the sheathing. The plaster Ing or pebble dashing, whichever was de cided upon, was to e done upon grooVed plaster board or strong metal laths. BracA- cts and "frills," common in cheap construc- tion were not to be tolerated. The country cottage should lave a low, nesting LOOK, which lad been considered In arrangihs the plan. The main roof was carried uoWh to cover the porch, and the second story extended IS inches on each side, which was In style of the plan used. Bay windows would also help to preserve the period lines of this structure. The roof should be covered with cedar shingles, unstalned. As the elevation pleased the family an ap- proximate estimate of cost was next shoWh, for the actual cost, as was explained Dy the expert would depend upon the location Of the building, It's nearness to materials, labor, and the time of year In winch 1t was built.

enthusiastic and all former differences of opinion were forgotten. Although 1t could not be said that any period had been rep resented, there was a-quiet harmony in room and furnishings which indicated judieious adaptation of style to conditions and purpose
 The severe plainness of the mission furni- ture is in perfect keeping with this style of house, and as the family was to buy, 1t was advised that 1t be used. Chestnut or red oak was to be used, if not too expensive, other wise white pine should be used In this room and throughout the house. All of the wood work-foor, ceiling, beams and ali-should be stained to match the furniture In color and finish, in the dull or wax finish. The color in this instance should be weathered oak. The walls and ceiling should be rough sand finished, the ceiling white, the side walls rohin's erc hue-both the upper and

In the country house it Is made general utility apartment library, living room or some such feature.
 He then pointed out that the hall should indicate by it's arrangement and furnishing as well as by its use the character, habits and social tendencies of the inhabitants. Knowing the family, he had tried to make the apartment indicative of it. This remark was, of course, purely professional tiattery and served to show that he had advanced in his profession.

All of the porcelain used should be blue and white the rug as well as the hanglngs at the doors of that combi- nation, with the blue predominatlng.

Brown was of the opinion that 1t would not be necessary to have cellar-that that expense could be used in some other part of the house-but Mrs. ted that she was not an expert builder, and perhaps not a practical furnisher, yet she had had practical experience In house. keeping, and she was sure that a large, dry cellar kept house in good condition 1t was therefore decided that a cellar should extend under all of the rooms, but not un- der the porches.

TAwARY SUBURBAN HoMEI

As soon as the household architect really
 got to work upon the house, plans and def nite information were forthcoming. perspective elevation was placed before the family the following evening, representing an English cottage. It was pointed out by the father of this creation that when the cost of building was limited 10 $2, GOO great care must be exercised In the choice of ma- terials and In putting them together. In the case of the plan shown no turned work could be used and mouldings could not be thought

builders themselves Hybridlsm has been carried to such m extent that the architect must from sheer weight of his own folly re- turn to pure period lines in construction. pr course 1t Is not generally supposed that the furnishings of a house come within the province of the architect, yet this Is so truly a part of hls profession that the success or failure of the completed house can be with justice laid at his door. Tom believes that styles of architecture that time had proved useful as well as beautiful should be used as surely as certain standard styles of furni- ture or other materials of tasteful house furnishing, but he was strenuously opposed to mixing period styles In the house.

ing stone and gravel roads under the
state road act, the State paying a
third of the cost. There is provision
in the law that when the property
owners along any road petition for its
Improvement under the act they are
to be assessed ten per cent of the cost,
the county paying the difference.
Under the State aid act, Middlesex
has built eighty eight miles of roads
at a cost of $l45, 600. Burlington is
the only county in the State that has
built more. And not cent has ever
been collected from Middlesex pro-
perty owner for road assessments.
Asked recently why the ten per cent
assessment had not been made, Foun-
tain explained that the board did try
to have assessments collected for the
first road built, but Sound it cost more
to collect the money than the collec-
tions amounted to and gave up the
effort.
"Just half the members of the board
are from New Brunswick and Perth
Amboy-six from each. The other
half are from the country districts,
where roads and bridges are the only
county improvements that interest the
inhabitants. So Fountain devotes
himself and the board to looking after
the country roads, keeps the country
members with him, and has to get
only one city member to gain major
ity of the board. AS matter of fact,
however, the city members, each with
q pet scheme of some sort, are only
too willing to help him in return for
favors for themselves, and the gam
goes merrily along to the mutual
satisfaction of both sides, while the
taxpayers foot the bills.
GAS in other second class counties,
the freeholders do not draw salary,
but are entitled to charge 80 day for
each dav necessarily and actually
employed in looking after county
business. The result is that most of
the members put in bills for five or
six days time nearly every week.
The aggregate salaries of the board
for the year run from S6, 600 to So, 900.
"There is tradition in New Bruins
wick that freeholders who have had a
few years experience cross off the
Sundays aDd holidays on their calend-
ars and charge for all the other days.
In the last investigation a member of
the Finance Committee, who audited
and approved salary bills, testif fled
that all he did was to count up the
days charged and see that no Sundays
were included. 1t was prior to that
time that members of the board
charged $404, at the rate of So a day,
for supervising bridge repairs that had
cost $149. IA.
cat the head of the citizens move
ment to secure an investigation of the
county affairs is James M. Parsoh, a
New Brunswick snuff manufacturer,
man of wealth, large taxpayer and
a Democrat He was for one term
director of the BOARD he is now attack
ing, and consequently knows some
thing of county affairs. Parsons is a
member of the board of managers of
the Jamesburg Reform school and
represents large independent faction
in New Brunswick affairs. He has
declared his intention of putting
Fountain and the present board out
of business by exposing their methods,
and does not minoe matters in defining
his attitude and views on the subject. -

How We earn

Great truths are dearly bought. The COM
mon truth,
Such as men give and take from day
to day,
Comes in the common walk of easy life,
Blown by the careless wind, across our
way.
Great truths are greatly won, not found
by chance,
Nor waited on the breath of summer
dream;
But grasped in the great struggle of ths
soul,
Hard bufreting with adverse wind and
stream.
But in the day of conflict, fear and grief
When sthe strong hand of God, put forth
in might.
Ploughs up the subsoil of the stagnant
heart,
And brings the imprisoned truth-seed
to the light.
wrung from the troubled spirit, in HARD
hours,
OF weakness solitude, perchance OF
pain,
Truth springs like harvest from the we'll
ploughed field
And the soul feels it has not wept in
vain.
