Trade Of Some Great Porte.

Some figures have been prepared re-
Gently showing the value of the trade
Of the great ports Of the world, from
which 1t appears that the trade Of
London is worth 92s5,000,O00 year,
while that OF Liverpool stands at
EFT, 100000 year These figures for
the other great ports are as follows:

figures for the two great British ports
do not include the value of the coast

being able to maintain It's position as
the greatest port of the world is be-
coming somewhat doubtful.-London

For country house or corner
lot in a village this house plan Is very
appropriate. 1t often happens that
the parlor and the spare bedroom are
very little used, but the family Is not
satisfied without suitable provision
for a visitor, and they appreciate a
good, comfortable parlor when occa-
sion requires, but 1t Is not necessary
to have these rooms heated at all
times during the winter. This plan
provides for a coy compact house OF
six rooms with two store rooms with
out counting the parlor and spare
bedroom. In this way 1t Is easy to
economic on fuel and still have all
the comforts of a warm, well ar
ranged house. For a summer house

ty of room and great opportunity

The specifications call for screen
over the opening to the cold air duct
which furnishes the air to the fur
mace, but the owner Is supposed to
see that screens are made for every
window and every door. Good wire
screens have received a great deal of
attention in the United States Of late.
Twenty-Five years ago 1t was COM
mon to see cotton mosquito bar

that 1t soon rusted. Improvements in
manufacturing. however, have pro-
duced wire screen that is thorough
ly satisfactory, even In salt water air.
The advantages and comforts of

being recognized by physicians in
England as well as here, and they are
working to educate the people to the
fact that the common house fly Is .

from some manure heap or other
filthy place. The beasts are Matched
in filth and spend their time wallow-
ing in 1t except when they are paying
us visit.
This house Is % feet wide and AZ
feet long, and the porches are extra.
1t should be built for about $4,000.
The pantry and china closet are taken
off the back porch, in order to leave
the dining-room and kitchen square.
This leaves the pantry big enough to
walk through, so there are two doors
to prevent odors from cooking pene-
tratipg the diningiroom. The stair
way in this house takes very little
room, and 1t Is very cheap way to
build stair. The shape of the roof
over the kitchen makes a good place
for two store rooms, without going
up to the attic. Store rooms are app
preciated by every housekeeper.
There are always things to put away
in the spring that are not wanted un.
til winter, and there are other things
to put away in tho fall that are not
wanted until spring. 1t Is unusual to
find house with accommodations for
this kind Of stuff. Some Of 1t is not
worth very much, but 1t is too good
to throw away, and some Of 1t Is too
valuable to put in the attic or cellar,
and this arrangement provides q
| splendid place for 1t.
A woman can take great deal 81
interest In fixing up house like this,
because she has some thing to work
in. 1t is big enough, It is light and
airy, and 1t looks well from the out
side. II 1t is placed IN a pleasant
neighborhood, the view through the
the cellar from the kitchen Is the
most convenient arrangement yet de
vised. The IL by Is cellar extension
In the front makes the very best cold
storage for fruit and vegetables, :
feature that is thoroughly appreciated
by fore-handed housewives who un
derstand how to buy In quantities fol
half the money and how to have I

ahead. Such management saves mo-
only money. but time and labor, be

Another thing, not every house
keeper knows that flies won't stay in

house except one, and the flies will
all be found in the light room. 1t Is
