Stone House Almost as Cheap as w God

1t is now quite possible to have the
exterior Of n house built of stone ut a
price not much greater than the cost
OF clapboartls or shingles. This condi-
ton of things has come about through
the development of the cement indus
try In this country. Given reasonable
access to Il transportation line and Il
sand bank, and the possibility of Il

ment, two or three parts of sand and
four to seven parts of gravel or broken

HANDKERCHlEFS.

Danger to washerwomen.

They Are Often Source of Grave
Danger to wnsherwomen.
Statistics have shown over and over
again that washerwomen are much
more likely to contract tuberculosis
and actually suffer from the disease In
much larger proportion than other
working women of the same grade Of
life. This Is due to the fact that the
expectoraton Of the tuberculous pa
tents clinging TO their various articles
of clothing is not rendered nonvirulent
by antiseptics or by boiling before they
come into the hands of the washer
woman. 1t Is particularly handker-
chiefs that are the most dangerous in
this respect, and the enforcement Of
sanitary regulations with regard to ex-
pectoration is sure to add 10 this dan
ger 1t would be well If the Chinese
custom of using Il paper handkerchief
(Which the Cinnamon of the better
classes would dlsdaln to carry with
him once 1t has been soiled, but which
he hands over to his servant to be dis
posed of by burning) could become the
rule in this country. Until 1t does,
however, physicians should call Il at
tention, especially OF those suffering
from tuberculosis, to the necessity for
having their handkerchiefs soaked for
some time in a suitable antiseptic solu-
ton before allowing them to be sent
out TO become possible danger for
the overworked and underfed poor

The Enrlicst International band
Contest Was HELD In 1870.
The earliest record OF an interna-
tional Band contest is OF one held In
the year 1920 between the bands of
Handel and Buononcini, Il gifted ltal-
ian composer, who by his friends and
admirers was declared to be infinitely
superior to the German master, The
king headed the partisans of the Ger
man and the Prince of Wales those OF
the Italian artist. The controversy has
been perpetuated in the lines of John
Byron, a popular poet of his day:
Some say, compared to Buononcini,
That Mynheer Handlers but a ninny.
Others aver that he to Handel
Is scarcely At to hold candle.
Strange all this difference should be

OAK APPLES.
Forms of Disease Propngated By q
Minute GnIIny.

Minute GaIIhy.
The little brown balls popularity
known as "oak apples which may Of
ten be seen growing In clusters upon
OAK twigs, are not fruit, as some sup
pose, but forms OF IA disease which re-
suits from the attacks of minute
S9llfy (cynips). This little insect, a
distant cousin of wasps and bees, is
provided with a complicated piercing
oviposltor IN her tail, by means Of
which she makes little holes in the
tender shoots of the oak, laying an egg
in each, and at the same time introduc-
ing drop of irritant fluid.
The substance of the shoot is thus
stimulated TO unnatural growth and
produces an oak apple or gall" which
may be regarded as a sort of vegetable
tumor and serves as home for the
grub which matches out of the egg
This can easily be seen by cutting
open young gall, but in an old one
the insect has escaped by driving q
tunnel to the outside.
The oak is infested by many other
kinds Of gall. Some are tufted, 9th
ers look like currants, and others again
are the little brown oak spangles
seen on the undersides of the leaves
Each kind of galIhy leads to the pro
duction of a different kind of GALL
