PRETTY HOUSE FOR MARROW CITY LOT

prohibited in the small and mex
pensive cottages, and really do not
belong there, but 1t is a natural
propensity in most Of us to strive
to get as much as possible for our
money, and in house building, per-
haps more than in any other under
taking, are found opportunities to
judiciously expend or senselessly
waste money.
Here is pretty little house de-
signed to be erected upon a narrow
city lot. The building itself is 2411ls
feet wide, and should have an open
space or passage way of at least four
feet on each side, although if it suit
ed the taste of the owner better it
could be placed nearer the lot line on
one side. This little house Is designed
to meet the requirements of a person
pt moderate means and small family,

HOW TREES GROW OLD.
Their Age Can he Told BY Number -
Thin Layers Just Under the
Rough Outer Bark.

Unless the date of planting II
known tree can keep the secret Of
its age as long as it lives. Only when
it is cut down and the rings that
then show on this cut surface are
counted can its exact age be told.
Especially when q tree il sawed
down, leaving the stump with q
smooth, fat surface, is it easy to
count its years. Trees such as tho
oak, chestnut, pine, ETC.. add thin
layer just under the rough outer
bark each year. These layers harden
into tough woody fiber, and one after
another make the tree bigger and
bigger around. When the tree is cut
down these layers show just as the
layers in an onion cut in half. Al
each layer counts for year, the age
Of trees that have grown straight and
tall is very easy to determine, while
in gnarled, wind twisted trees the
rings run into each other, and can
scarcely be distinguished, and thus
some of the famous old sentinels on
the mountain tops hide the secret of
their age forever. As the trunks Of
trees grow larger layer by layer, the
rough outside bark which lasts from
year to year cracks wider and wider
in its efforts to fit the big round
body it was not made for, and great
assures and burrows appear, such as
are seen in the oak. Some trees, like
the birch, change. their bark from
year to year. The birch bark that
peels off is almost as thin as paper
and split in thousand places with
the swelling of the live new wood just
beneath tn. Y. Tribune.

up with the usual number of shelves,
drawers, pastry table and -four bins.
A cellar extends under the entire
house, eight feet in depth. The
height of ceiling above is. IL feet.
The foundation walls are of brick.
The building above foundation is OF
wood. The walls are sheathed and
papered and weatherboarded with
half-inch siding, and the gables
shingled. The roof is shingled with
cypress shingles. All inside wood
work is OF cypress, filed and hard
oiled in natural color. All outside
woodwork is of white pine, painted
three coats in stone gray body color,
trimmed with white, with holdings
picked out in black. This house is
very cozy and attractive and would
make comfortable home, at cost
OF $1,000 to $1,s00. =. A. PAYNE

signs of Life I'm Hen. EGGS.

An electrical test, at first proposed
as means Of determining whether
life Is extinct, has been used to show
when life begins. No reaction is pro-
duced if the matter is lifeless. APP
plying this method to hens eggs,
Augustus Waller has found that signs
Of life begin in "a to So hours after
the beginning of incubation, and that
only when development fails or is
arrested does the reaction continue
to be absent.

LIFTING WITH MAGNETS.
Force IL row Used for
Great Commercial Tasks and
Delicate Optic Operations.

| One Of the practical uses of a mag
net, but to those Immediately con-
cerned highly important use, is that
in which it is sometimes employed to
Withdraw small pieces of iron from
such out of the way places as the hui
man eye. Another use of the attractive
force of magnetism on a. much larger
scale was that to which it was put
by Edison in his magnetic ore separa-
tor, in which the ore, previously
crushed to fine powder, is dropped
down chute past the poles of pow
erful electromagnetic, in passing
which the iron particles of the ore
are detected to one side, while the
non-magnetic stone dust continues
undefected down the chute. Still an
other instance of the employment of
magnetism in small way is that in.
which a magnetized tack hammer is
used in the manufacture of straw
berry baskets on large scale in con-
junction with mechanical device
which presents the tacks, one at
time and head up, to the operative,
lnC4COy A0NAAV0SAAes A1S WOlhs
It is FAR cry from lifting a tack
by means of magnetism to the lifting
of massive iron and steel plates
weighing four, six and twelve tons
by this same force, which is now be-
ing done every workday in a number
of large steel works. Electro-mag-
netism, of course, is utilized, the
form of the magnet being usually
rectangular for this work and pre-.
senting fiat surface to the plates
lifted. The magnets are suspended
by chains from cranes, and pick up
the plates by simple contact and
without the loss of time consequent
to the adjustment Of chain and hooks
in the older method. It is also found
that the metal plates can be lifted by
the magnets while still so hot that
it would be impossible for the men
to handle them.-Cassier's Magazine.

E5HERE are many things to be
taken into consideration in the
. designing of houses for differ
'ent parts of the country. A low
house of good outline is always at
tractive, no matter how simple the
design may be. 1t seems to fit into
the natural surroundings of land
scape much more appropriately than
q lofty structure. There are other
advantages in home Of this de-
scription. It is warmer and more
comfortable in the winter time and
requires less fuel to heat it. In
summer it is usually shaded by
foliage, which shuts off much of the
intense heat of the sun. Rich orna-
ments and details are of necessity

r HUS prepare the way Of the Lord.
There is double way in which
genuine repentance prepares the COM
ing of the Lord. Spiritually-the tears
of true repentance always catch the
light of the shining presence of Jesus,
who never fails to come, and each tear
flashes its brilliancy and beauty over
the whole life, and upon those about.
Materially-true repentance on the
part of the unregenerate and the
Christian hastens the coming of the
Lord in the clouds of glory to take to
Himself His bride, the church. Think
Of how the Indifference, neglect and
worldly -mindedness of the Christian
is delaying the spread of the Gospel,
the upbuilding of the Kingdom, and
the fulfillment Of the promise of Jesus
and the angels that He would come
again. even as He was taken up from
His disciples into Heaven. Is there
not need for the cry--Repent ye? l.
there not absolute and desperate need
to heed Gods command? "Bring forth
therefore fruits meet Tor repentance"
Upon you lies this responsibility. What
answer will you give to your King when
you meet Him face to face and He asks
Of you an accounting? The night
Let us then be up and doing
while it is yet day.

Destroying Rats in Snips.

Professor Koch has discovered a
successful method for the destruc.
ton Of rats which frequent the
holds Of ships. An experiment has
been conducted on board the Bu!,
garia at Hamburg. The rats were
placed in cages in the hold. An ap-
paratus was then used to fill the
hold of the ship with gaseous sub
stance. When this was concluded
the cages were brought on deck.
and all the rats were found to b.
dead. The new system will in fu-
ture be used in the German navy.
and also on the big steamship lines.

Booth . Rigid eqetsrisn.

General Booth, the Salvation Ar
my leader, has been pronounced
vegetarian for years. He even re-
fuses to indulge in butter, milk "
vegetables cooked in fat, living en-
tirely on cereals, principally boiled
rice. The general says he is veg
etarian for two reasons. One is his
belief that primitive man ate no
meat and the other is that after a
long trial Of that diet he finds him.
