A good comfortable eight-room
house that is we'll adapted for a viii
lage or small city is given in this
plan. Such a house should have a
good roomy lot, for the house itself
suggests room and comfort. The bed
room down stairs opening off from
the sitting room is well liked by elder
ly people, and no one has a better
right to consideration than the old
folks. There is sure to come a time
when We won't feel like running up
stairs upon the slightest proyocation,
as we once did.
The house is 80 feet wide by SO feet
long on the ground, exclusive of the
porches, but the upper floor is abbre-
waited to make room for the attic over
the kitchen.
This attic is just the place to hang
clothes on a rainy or snowy washday.
1t also makes a fine store room, which
is a valuable thing in any house. 1t
furnishes a place to put things that
you don't need Immediately and it
saves cluttering up the rooms with a
lot of stuff that is too good to burn
and not good enough to give away.
Most of us know what IL means to
work hard to accumulate lot of fur
niture and household traps, and we
cannot bring ourselves TO dispose of
it even when we have good reason to
believe that we shall never need il
again.
You can forgive a New England
family for hanging onto an old heir
loom, even If it is useless and in the
way, because all such stuff came over
with John Alden in the Mayflower
but let them pack the stuff away in
the attic where it won't worry other
folks. The persons owning the curl
osities may go up there every rainy
day and admire them in private.

JEWS pLAN UNIQUE BANK.
Profits to BE Given for Development
of Palestine.

Tannersville, N. Y.-At the next
session of the legislature OF the state
of New York the Zionists will have a
bill presented authorizing the estab-
lishment of bank in New York city,
which will be unique in that it will
be closed on Saturdays and the profits
of which will be devoted to the devel'
opment of Palestine.
A committee headed by Nathan
Prensky, a merchant of Brooklyn;
Henry Jackson, of Pittsburg, and DR..
B. l.. Gordon, of Philadelphia, re-
ported at a session of the Zionists'
convention here that stock to the
amount of $4,000 had already been
subscribed for, with promises of a
similar sum as soon as the bank is
established. One of the features OF
this bank will be a steamship broker
age department, which will serve to
protect the poor and ignorant Jews of
the East side of New York city from
the frauds practiced on them by IRE
sponsible men.
AS soon as the bank in New York
city has been established branches
will be opened in Boston, Philadel-
phia, Baltimore, Pittsburg. Cleveland,
Chicago and Cincinnati and in other
cities where there are large Jewish
settlements.
1t is anticipated that the profits OF
this enterprise will be so large that
many projects for development of the
industrial and agricultural possible
ties of Palestine, which are now in
allegiance, will be successfully carried
out and the way opened for the set
Ting there of an enormous Jewish
peasant population.

COMMUNITY OF TEMPERANCE
ADVOCATES THRIVES.
Vice Unheard of In Benedicta-ls
Without Jail, Poorhouse, Free
from Debt and Has Cash
on Hand.

Boston.-Benedicta, in Maine, is the
Roman Catholic Utopia and the dream
of the w. c. T. u. come true. 1t is
tabloided Home Rule. Irish Catholics
settled in it. Their descendants,
sturdy Americans, run it. Only Cath
olics live there now, and probably
only Catholics will ever live there.
1t is crimeless, jailless, poorhouseless
free from debt and ideally admins
tered.
AS a community Benedicta is more
ideal than Moore's utopia" or Ba-
cons New Atlantis" Though 40
miles from any other town and 100
miles from a railroad, Benedicta has
electric light service, a municipal
water supply, several fine buildings,
and all the conveniences of a thor
oughly modern city.
Benedicta is not only free from
debt, but has a surplus in the treas
ury. Moreover there is not a poor
family in the place and there never
has been any occasion for the estab-
lishment of any of the usual institu-
tons for the poverty stricken or peace
breakers.
When Fenwick started his colony
he purchased more than 10000 acres
of fertile timber lands, comprising
the western half of a township in
Aroostook county. There he began
to build up an ideal community OF
temperance residents.
Though many of the younger gener.
alton have gone to cities for work
leaving their elders on farms, the cen
sus of 1900 showed that the colony
numbered $50 persons.

NEW RECORD IN JUNE BRIDES
One Every Thirteen Minutes for the
Month In Chicago.

Chicago.-While you read these
words, stop and think! Chicago has
$500 June brides to-day! The love
bug has been working overtime and
has broken all records.
Three thousand three hundred June
brides! That means 10 brides a day
or one every 13 minutes!
Hymen, Cupid G. Co. report the
most prosperous month since the firm
was established.
Last year there were 3,103 June
brides; in 1905, 1907; 1904, the record
was 2,75S.
Marriage License Clerk Salmonson,
the man who has opened the door
of welded happiness to hundreds and
hundreds of thousands of Chicagoans
and others, preached a little lay ser
mon the other day for June brides
These are the points on which he laid
stress:
/. Love your husband always.
2. Be his companion, his friend, his
chum.
8. Never, never pe suspicious OF
nagging.
4. Study his tastes and give him
what he likes.
8. Get up and cook his breakfast
for him.
6. Make his home as attractive fol
him as you can-as attractive as the
club or the saloon.

GIVES LOCATION OF THE SOUL.
Man Who Hopes to Photograph II
Says II Is in the Throat.

New York.-"The soul of man is
soft and gelatinous, small, practically
shapeless, and situated beneath the
first rib. Below the Adams apple in
a man, and in a woman at the base of
her throat, is a spot of little or no re-
sistance. 1t is from this place when
the hour of death has come that the
soul must be taken. 1t does not pass
like a shadow 1t is not flight. The
soul must be drawn out by an angel
sent by God to perform this opera.
ton, and this seat of life is trans
ferred, warm, palpitating. to a body
the counterpart of the one it has left.
1t is substance, material, and could be
as we'll caught by the camera as the
human face"
1t was thus that Henry Price of
Mount Vernon explained recently his
theory of the souls passage and the
possibility of obtaining a Photographic
reproduction thereof.
81 do not think, by sny means, that
all men have souls. You may and
may not have soul, according as you

months or since last cleaning day.
Women still clean house; they are
built that way, they cannot help it.
They may go over every room reg
ularly once a month, but when the
first warm days of spring brighten up
the atmosphere they remember the
days of their youth and proceed to
clean house the way their mothers
did. Well, have got no fault to find
with the women. Our homes would
not be much without them and when
they want to clean house let all my
relatives help; all ask is sufficient
notice in time to get out of town.
Some houses need a great deal
more attention by way of cleaning
than others. 1t is a good deal in the
way a house is put together. There
should be a law against using any
material in a house that will shrink.
Dust and dirt will pound its way up
through floor that is not well
matched or properly laid. Every time
you step on a board that gives you
open and shut the joints sufficient to

count very much the first time, but If
you keep it going through million

Years ago It was customary to com.
mence to build the year before. The
walls were built and the inside lumber
piled carefully under cover, even the
studding was bought long before II
was wanted But all that is changed,
we are now in such a hurry that we
build a house this month and move
I'm next month. l have this to say to
such haste, be sure the lumber that
goes into the house is well seasoned
and that the plaster Is dry before the
doors are hung and the sash fitted.

TO SAVE THE COAL SUPPLY.
Crude Methods of Production Have
Caused Immense Waste.

Washington. - The government,
through the United States geological
survey, is planning with the producers
of coal to place far in the distance the
day when the country's coal supply
shall be exhausted. Crude methods
of production, with more attention
paid to cheap production than TO saw
ing and scientific methods of mining,
have resulted In an astonishing waste
of COAL This will never be recog-
nized, for it lies buried deeply in
abandoned mines now filled in. Also,
it is planned to prolong and regulate
the supply of coal by new methods
of mining, which will, no doubt, result
in adding many years to tho existence
of the now available supply.
The extravaganza in the production
of coal, amounting to almost criminal
waste, has not had the effect CT re-
ducing the cost to consumers. This.
at least, is the opinion of Edward w.
Parker, of the geological survey, who
was a member of President Roose.

ago only 40 per cent. of the coal in

methods the waste has now been re

larger than year ago, and money
never was so plentiful. The west is
particularly fortunate to have this
cash at this time, when loans in the
east are demanding good premiums,
and this condition is largely indicative
of the prosperity of Nebraska agricul-
tural interests resulting from bounti-
full crops.
1.-THE Nebraska farmers are buying
more machinery, building material
and live stock than for many years.
They have had several good crops in
succession, and they are all on easy
street. The sale of their products
has brought much money to the state,
and this has gone mostly into local
banks, which carry their cash bal
ances in Omaha national banks. Com
paratively few mortgages are held.
The money made by the farmers
has piled up in the banks until it be-
came necessary to seek short-time
loans in the east. Eastern borrowers
have not been slow to ask for these
loans, however, and eight of the
largest Omaha institutions receive
daily quotations on eastern securities.
Most of these loans are placed
through New York and Boston finan-
cial institutions which act as brok-
ers."
