Women and Architecture.

There is much wisdom in the COM
mon sense suggestion that members Of
the feminine sex should be employed as
architects, or at all events that the
arrangement Of the interior fittings of
q residence should be entrusted to them.
It is, after all, women who suffer most
acutely from the want Of "knack' in

If you are Interested in building a
cottage home, here is little gem for
you to study. and is one Of, my most
popular designs out Of 800. d.
This cottage is 20 feet inches wide
and "a feet e. inches deep, The roof
is made attractive by its wide project
ing caves. The exterior is sided with
narrow siding, and has wide corner
boards at. each angle. In the first story
you will find a good sized kitchen and
diningroom, and livingroom that cannot
be equaled in a house that cost three
times the amount of this one. Project
ing Dutch windows in both living and
diningroom add much to the appearance
Of the cottage. There are good cham
bers in the second story, and bath
room can be easily arranged If one de-

are used for finish turnout. There Is

BOTH USEFUL AND BEAUTIFUL
Every Piece Of Furniture Should Be
Tested by These Rules.

When William Morris made public
his creed of furnishing that part Of the
world which was sufficiently interested
to notice him at all fairly gasped at
bis radical ideas. That nothing should
be tolerated except something which
had definite, practical use, and that
should be made beautiful on absolute
~ simple lines, was the burden Of his
sorts Of elaborate monstrosities were
introduced under the title Of house dec.

But William Morris lived to see his
theories accepted as worthy Of practi-
cal demonstration. More and more
houses are being furnished each year
even built-in accordance with them,
resulting in an arrangement which sug-
gests taste rather than lavish ex.
satisfying both from standpoint Of
artistic beauty and from that of USE
fitness. ~. 5.*..:s,

An observing and sensible exchange
says what we all realize in this: For
two generations past there has been an
enormous out-pouring from the country
to town. The normal balance between
city and rural population mas been dis.
turbed and the country has suffered
thereby.
At last change is coming. Men OF
all classes are looking to the farm ss .
place of investment, and especially for
the highest enjoyment. As city life
grows more complex and business more
exacting, the pleasures of the farm and
all that goes with farm life, are coming
to be appreciated. Many city bred
young men are looking to the farm as
the best place for exercise of their pow
ers. The agricultural college now re-
gisters city bred young men by the
score 1t Is remarkable that apprecia-
ton of the farm Is developing among
those who are In the city even faster
than 1t Is with those In the country. All
of this is significant and should have Its
influence on the minds Of young men,
who are bordering whether or not they
shall cast their lot along agricultural
lines"

RESULTS OF PROTECTION.
The Attending B@nk Cleartngs For
the Last Calendar Year,


the Last Calendar Year.
Our bank clearings during the calen.
dar year 1905 were not only the great
est In our history, but show q most re-
markable gain over any preceding year.
The total amounted TO the vast sum of
s143. 1874, 9O2, 596. This Is $31 200, 000,-
900 more than the preceding year and
more than SIS, 900 600, 900 in excess OF
any previous year. When 1t Is con-
sidered that our average annual bank
clearings under the Wilson German
tariff were only about $4,000. 100000 it
will be seen what wonderful strides
our business transactions have taken
since the Dingley law went into effect.
Should our clearings for the present
year continue as they have begun they
will exceed $2oO.OOo. 100000. the clear
ings for January being S16.321. 800, 27e,
nearly $1,000, 100000 more than the
month preceding, which broke all rec
ords.
1t seems probable that the clearings
for 1905 will be four times as large as
those for 1896. only ten years previous.
We are now doing just four times the
business we were doing under free
trade. 1t would be folly-yes. a crime
to interfere with a tariff that brings
such results.
