How to Make Thanksgiving Canal

How to Make Thanksgiving Candles.
 To make bayberry candles for Thanksgiving 1t requires a quart of berries to make one candle, says the Providence Journal. They should be kept In dry place till ready to use, then put into preserve kettle, allow ing two quarts of water to one of ber- ries. They should be boiled for four hours, filling up the kettle with hot water as it boils away. Then set it back where it will simmer awhile and at night set away to cool. In the morn ing the wax will have formed in large cake on top of the water, and after melting and straining through a piece of fine lawn or cheesecloth 1t is ready to pour into the candle molds. These candles give out sweet aromatic odor, which perfumes tlse room.

THE LAGOON CORRECTED.
Fragment Recently Found Said to
Show That Present Group Is
Entirely Wrong.

Everybody familiar with the famous
group known as the LAGOON will he
glad to know that at last it will be
possible correctly to restore it.
The group was found in a vault in
Rome in 1906 and was bought and
placed in the Vatican by Pope julius
II. In 1896 Napoleon carried it off
to Paris, but it was returned in 1916.
When the statue was unearthed the
right arm of LAGOON and the younger
boy were missing, and likewise the
right hand of the older boy. The
group was restored by Giovanni
Montorsoli. Even in his day some
doubt was expressed as to the &C.
curacy of his reconstruction.
At last young German, Herr Lud-
wig Pollak, has been fortunate enough
to chance upon fragment which IN
doubtedly formed part of a reproduce
tion Of the LAGOON group and which
makes it possible to correct Monitor
soils restoration.
The fragment which, according to
the Scientific American, was found bv
Pollak in small Roman scalpeIlino.
among a mass Of other fragments is
the right arm of a LAGOON. PollaI;
learned that 1t was found in the Via
Labicana. That was all he could dis
cover. The stone OF which if is made
is coarse grained Parian marble.
In ancient times it had been brokon
in two places and repaired. The ser.
pent was injured at the time Of tho
last fracture, but its convoIutiors can
still be traced. The body Ct the SER

all probability the scales were psint.

arm three indentations are to be sem

workman.
so different is this fragment from
the Vatican group that it could not
haTe belonged TO it, but to an ancient
replica about one-ni1th smaller than
the original. The arm wa probs blv
broken when the statue was removed
from its pedestal in Rhodes and taSer

1t is often said that we have no
American style Of architecture, but
that need not worry us because we are
nation of inventors. This probably
is the very reason why we have no one
distinctive style or manner of building.
Our inventive architects are continual
~ working for improvement and they
are succeeding wonderfully well.
In my experience have learned thai
comfortable, attractive houses cost no
more to build than the ordinary struc-
lures usually seen in towns and vii
lagos, the only requisite is to know
how to do it. The average American
citizen wants house that is pleasing
in appearance, but the exterior must
not in any way interfere with the COM
Portable arrangement Of the rooms.
While man takes pride in the out
side appearance, his first thought
usually is for the wife and her life is
spent inside. The good wife has the
housework to do, and American hus-
bands are thoughtful, and they are
good providers. The most popular
houses | ever saw were the most con-
Venient
Dwellings in older countries are
heavier, usually in design, more ex-
pensive to build, not so pleasing in
appearance, for the same amount of
rooms they usually cost more than the
ordinary American home. Of course
we have many inCOngruities. Some of
the residence streets certainly look
very odd. There is room for improve
ment in every section of the country.
In some of our older villages the
struggle for better houses may be read
in the houses themselves. Improve
ments are attempted here and there
by adding bay windows, pOrches or ex-
tensions and generally the attempt is

a failure because the new construction
does not correspond with the old. 1t is
a patched garment, and it shows it.
The interior usually is damaged in
stead of improved. In most cases it
would be better to sell the old house
for barn, and build new from the
bottom of the cellar up Repairing an
old house always is unsatisfactory.
Even in the newer streets in our
best towns there is a wide difference
in the appearance Of the houses. Some
are very neat and tasty, but others are
very poorly designed. 1t is not neces-
sary to cut up house into odd shapes
to make it look good. Very often
plain square house built in proper pro-
portions, with a porch across the front
and without further ornamentation,

side and out than a more expensive

house of some fancy design. Such a
house except that the porch is built
in under the main roof is shown in the
Illustration on this page.
This house is exactly square, being
SO feet wide and sc feet long, and it
will cost from $500 to $4,000.
The greater amount of cubic space
inclosed by given length of wall is in
circular form; next to this comes the
square. For economy in construction
when the amount of room is taken into
consideration, no other plan will equal
the square house and there are other
economies beside that of first cost. A
square house means square rooms
punched as closely together as posi-
BILE, which means that the rooms in
such house are easily heated in win

saw pictures of revolutionary scenes
and men Of that period, relics of the days
when George was the whole thing around
