old-fashioned parlor to drop entirely out of use. Every housekeeper likes to have one room that may be fixed up as nicely as possible, where they can shut the door to keep the children out if they want to and have it in good order for state occasions. In such houses the sitting-room becomes a democratic institution. It usually is we'll lighted, as in this case, and 1t is in the center of the house where it Is warm and comfortable in winter This big enough to accommodate number of comfortable easy chairs and table for a reading lamp with a shelf under meath to hold papers and magazines.
 Instead of the old-fashioned couch, the sitting-room should be furnished with window seats upholstered to fit the place. There are all kinds of win dow seats; some are broad and com fortable, while others are narrow and look stingy. Some are liberally SUD- piled with thick, comfortable looking pillows, while others have one or two skimpy little things that have been used by the children for playthings until clean covers would seem abso- lutely necessary, but such little details fall to the housekeeper and there are all kinds.
 Some women will make>a very com- mon room attractive and pleasant, while others will spoil the best house you can put them in. Generally speak ing, however, American women are quick to see the possibilities of fix ing up good house to make it com- fortable and attractive. The first requisite is to select the proper plan, then to watch the building operations to see that all the details are properly worked up to make each room right when finished. A great deal of good building material has been wasted by not securing a good plan to start with and also by leaving the details to men who have no personal interest in the house when finished.

structed and nicely finished is large part of the furnishing of the front part of the house. It is better to put lit tie extra expense on the front stair and save that much in movable furni- ture.
 There is only one chimney neces- sary in this house, but that is good big one. It answers for the furnace, the kitchen range and two grates, one in the dining-room and one in the bed room over the dining-room.
 A grate in bedroom is a splendid thing in time of sickness. Nothing will brighten up a sick room like a grate fire and nothing else will venti- late room so thoroughly. The gentle draft up chimney caused by a grate fire is the best air purifier ever intro duced into a house.

the outside kitchen door without the necessity of passing through the par Tor or dining-room, but in some houses this cannot be done because the plan won't admit of it without too much of a sacrifice in some other direction.
 It has become quite a fashion recent ly to do away with the parlor and to enlarge the living room in proportion, but there are a great many builders who think it is merely a passing fad and that women will never permit the

There is passageway in this plan that communicates directly between the front hall door and the kitchen, but it is provided with two doors which prevent the cooking odors from the kitchen from penetrating the main part of the house. There are times when connection of this kind is very convenient In Canada most of the houses have direct communication through from the front hall back to

JOHN BROWN NO LONGER
MARCHING.

Picayune: A remarkable fact is re-
ported i'll the announcement that the
State Legislature of Kansas has refused
to vote a sum of money for statute of
| John Brown, to stand for the SunfiQwer
State in the Hall of Statues Of the Capt.
tol at Washington.
Every State is entitled to two statues
of its distinguished men there. and it
was supposed that the famous anti
slavery leader of Bleeding Kansas
would be voted place among the he
| roes and statesmen of the Union. That
he was refused such tribute is STIR
prising.
John Brown was a bloody factor i'll
the early days of Kansas when the skir-
mishes between the Abolitionists and the
Shareholders. preliminary to the great
war of the sections, were being waged.
The AboitionistS won and Kansas came
into the Union as free State, Then
John Brown was sent by the Northern
Aboltionists to attack the whole South
and fanatical madman as he was. he
opened his assault upon the South and
on the Union by capturing in midnight
invasion of Virginia, the United States
armory at Harper's Ferry.
This was in October 1880. News hav-
ing been received at Washington that an
armed party. whose members and force
and objects were unknown. had seized
the National armory. Colonel r. Z.
Lee with the only troops then i'll Wash
mgton. they being company of the
naval marines, was sent at once to the
scene of the trouble He took with him
as all aid Captain J. f. B. Stuart, who
happened to be in Washington. Thus
these two great Southern soldiers par
ticipated in the very first action of the
civil war.
Stuart, who had served in Kansas. at
once recognized John Brown, who was
captured after a brief resistance. in
which several of his men were killed
and Brown wounded. Brown and sew
eral of his followers were tried and
hanged for the murders they had COM
mitted, and he was almost deiEed by
prominent antislavery men in the North,
being compared to Christ for baying
died on the gallows to free the Southern
slaves.
1t was thought impossible that John
Browns soul could ever stop marching
on to glory. but the fact that the Kansas
Legislature refused to vote him a statue
in the National Capital shows what a
change has come over the country
