Here is a plan for an attractive col
tage that can surely be built for ST.
600 anywhere Entering the house
you find yourself in a fairly large hall,
with an attractive staircase immedi-
ately before you, and on the right a
cheerful sitting room The staircase
is designed with a seat at one side,
and is an open stair to the first land
ing, with nicely turned balusters and
rail The space under the stair is
used as the stair to the basement
from the combined dining room and
kitchen
The sitting room has a corner ar
rangement, showing a pleasant bay to
form a sort Of circular alcOve addition
to the room, yet the expense of it is
not great, as it is partly supported
and rooted by the porch, and the re-
mainder extends over the foundation.
The dining room and kitchen are
combined, with a pantry and wash
room. The downstairs bedroom can
be used as a library, if desired, cut
ting out the closet, and having a large
cased opening between this room and
the sitting room.
On the second floor there are two
bedrooms, one on each side of the
hall, which are lighted by the dor
meTs, as is seen by the exterior view
This dOrmer also gives good ventiia-
ton, as the transOms over the bed
room doors give a circulation Of air
through the second story rooms. Al
though it may appear in the exterior
that there are slOping ceilings in the
second floor bedrooms, such is not
the case to a great extent. There is
only a foot cut OF Of the wall and
ceiling for the roof. There is a single
chimney, and it is nicely located for
heating the house either with stoves
or a furnace. At each side of the
second floor bedrooms are large
spaces left under the roof, which
make excellent storage closets
The house is q by % feet. The in
terror woodwork is finished in natur-
al finish, and half of the space under
the first floor is excavated for large

To Prevent Rear-End Collisions
A model Illustrating a method OF
aveTting a large class Of railway acct
dents that are known as rear-end col
hsiOns was exhibited a short time ago
in New York city
On the track, 80 feet from the Ordi-
nary semaphOre, IS placed a dwarf
semaphOre, whose movements are
made TO correspond with those Of the
other. whether the latter is operated
by hand or electricity. From the side
OF the locomotive projects downward
a rod Of glass, in such a position that
il viii strike the dwarf semaphOre
when the signal is set at danger. Con
tact breaks the glass The immediate
effect Of this is TO bring into play in
the cab 4 steam mechanism which
shuts the throttle, locks It, applies the
air brakes, and finally deposits sand
on the track. Only when the train
stops can the engineer unlock his
throttle He must first adjust a fresh
glass rod in place Of the broken one.
Thus an effective safeguard is provid-
ca against running past a signal on
account Of the sickness, death or care
lessness Of the engineer, or fog or
smoke.
The apparatus is so designed that
if the engineer, having his wits about
him, and having his train under con-
troll, wishes to do so, he can prevent
the smashing of the glass rod. and
run slowly to the main semaphOre.

that one patient, who was unable to

treatment for seven days walked a

hoped that further investigation Will
prove the new remedy capable Of all
that is claimed for Utica Globe.

careful survey OF her coal deposits has
been made. with the result Of discOy-

United Kingdom to a depth of 1000
feet. sufficient at the present rate of
output to last 81 years

consideration the fact that with i'm

be possible to carry on mining at a

the Union Pacific, which has attracted
such general attention, recites these
interesting facts:
While the construction OF the

the United States. the important part
played by this railroad in the develop
meDt Of the Louisiana Purchase can
hardly be estimated. In the building

The only rational way to cure dys-

Peruna has cured more cases of dys-'

wherever located. If catarrh Is located
IN the head, Peruna cures It II catarrh
has fastened itself IN the throat or
