BIG CARNATIONS.
They Were Cultivated In England in
Shakespeares Time.

Shakespeare in1e.
A florist says that we pride ourselves
nowadays on the size of our carna-
tons, but the florists of 300 years ago
grew carnations three to four inches
across, as large as any that we see,
and thought nothing of it.
'All through Spain. southern France
and Italy the carnation is the favorite
years, but along the Mediterranean
there are few glass houses, for in pro
tected situations and on southern
slopes of hills even delicate flowers
grow outdoors all winter long and
bloom as freely at Christmas as in
July.
1.-The big carnations. however. were
not grown in Spain or Italy. but in
England outdoors, during the summer
time and before glass houses were
known. They may have grown just
as large carnation flowers in Spain as
in England at that time. but in Eng
land there was record made of the
fact and also of the size. while in Spain
there was not. Shakespeare mentions
carnations and gillyfiowers. or July
flowers. together as blooming at the
same season, which shows that the
carnation was then a summer flower,
whereas i'll our greenhouses it is now
a winter bloomer. How the florists of
those days treated the plants to OBJ,
tain blooms of such size nobody knows,
for old time florists grew flowers in
stead of writing books about them. So
AL We know is that they had very
large carnations in Queen Elizabeth $

grown. Louis Globe Democrat.

AS indicated somewhat by the treat
ment of the design, climbing vines and
foliage grouped about this house will
give very picturesque effect. There
are three rooms on the ground floor and
two chambers, with bathroom on the
second floor. The front of the house Is
symmetrical with a central vestibule
opening into a liberal livingroom across
the front 14x22 feet in size. Opposite
the entrance is a broad, open fireplace,
to the right of which Is a wide opening
into the dining room. To the left of the
fireplace is an open combination stair
way leading to the second story, with
the basement grade entrance and Sec
tional stairs up to the platform from the
kitchen. The dining room connects with
the kitchen through the pantry, there Is
a recess sideboard and china closet In
the dining-room, and a commodious rear
porch.
This house could be nicely finished In
Washington fir, stained dark Flemish In
the front room and golden oak In the
dining room, and all other interior wood
work in the natural color, vanished. The
floors to be of red birch, filled and var
nshed If the entire house were to be
two full stories in height it would in
crease the cost $500 and afford two ad-
ditional rooms in the second story.

THE MEMS CORNER.
BY PETER PRY SEIEVLIN..
Investing Your Savings-The Government Bond.

Though the phrase "as safe as a gov
ernment bond" Is a true one, inasmuch as
this type of bond assures absolute Sc
curity to the investor, it has long been
the subject of common remark that these
bonds are not held to any great extent
by the people. At the first glance this
condition is remarkable, for abroad you
will find the very opposite. In English
homes Of the middle class you will find
one or more British "consols," 21a per
cent. and there their possessors take
certain pride in them as they feel that
they are taking an integral part In the
finances Of their government. Among the
thrifty French people Of even humber
circumstances, hidden away in the peas
ants hut or the laborer's tenement, will
be found the government "rentes." This
government bond is issued in small de-
nominations and pays three per cent. in
terest annually.
After scanning the foregoing-apparent-
ly an indictment of patriotism of the
people-the query naturally arises: Inas-
much as the government is by the people
and for their benefit, why should not Its
bonds be held by them? There are very
good reasons why our government bonds
cannot appeal to the average investor who
wants an adequate return for his invest
ment. with absolute safety. The price
is too high the yield too small. Indus
trial opportunities are so great and SO
we'll safeguarded that the investor would
be paying too high a price for absolute
safety. A government bond that only
pays two per cent. sells at more than
its face value. There Is, Of course,
reason why the government an afford to
place these securities outside the realm
of the individual, and that Is historical,
though 1t remains In vogue, slightly modi-
fed, at the present day. The United
States, right after the drain of the Civil
War, found itself with much debit and
little credit. OF course, the only wav
to raise money was to issue bonds, which
was an easy task compared with getting
people to buy them. Thereupon the then
secretary Of the treasury evolved plan
whereby all national banks that wished to
issue their own pape- money (or bank
notes. were to buy and deposit with the
Treasury, government bonds equal TO
the amount of bank notes issued Inas-
much as these notes are q good adver-
tisement, they have always proved popu-
lar with national banks. Accordingly when
you have a bill bearing the name of a
bank on one side, it means that its
value in government bonds has been de-
posted In Washington by that institution.
Bonds are exactly like any article in
great demand. they rise in price. Accord
ingly, another government move, render
ed vitally necessary after the Civil War,
made government bonds even more in
demand by banks. Uncle Sam has always
a lot of surplus cash in the treasury,
which is available for deposits In the
national banks of the country. When a
bank wants to bear the enviable title,
Omitted States depository which indi-
Gates a certain importance and prestige
to the general public-it must deposit in

For the benefit of those who desire to
use cement in the construction of their
homes we are illustrating in this weeks
issue a small cottage house, constructed
of hollow cement blocks In the first story,
with half -timbers and cement above the
first story. The wide projection of the
enves and gables and the timbered treat
ment Of the same, the sweep of the roof
with its curve at the caves and the SINH
lar treatment of the front piazza, and
the projected portion of the first story
are in harmony with the material that
is used and the Swiss style of archi-
lecture, so little of which Is seen in this
country.
The house is small, being only % feet
in width by 28 feet In depth, exclusive
of piazzas, and a considerable portion Of
the rear part is one story in height. This
design is specially well adapted for the
rural home There is a basement under
the entire house, and the foundation Is
extended out around the piazza, the ce-
ment blocks being carried up from the
grade line to the top Of the first-story
windows. These blocks should be of
hard, durable material and hollow, and
in order that the walls on the inside may
be perfectly dry they should be furred
with 2x2-inch strips of wood, making
pinch hollow space between the wall and
the plaster.
