Building or Buying a House.

1t is frequently cheaper to buy than
to build house if one keeps on the
lookout for real estate bargains. 1t is
hardly ever well, however, to purchase
one of the so called cheap houses erect
ed by real estate agents and contract
ors and advertised. They are built to
sell, with all that that implies. In the
outskirts of city two family house
is an excellent investment.
The arrangements for the two fami-
lies are quite separate, so that the
house owner can live in one part and
let the other part. Often the rent re-
ceived pays off the mortgage. or at
least the interest on money borrowed
to secure the home. When you build,
have bathroom. furnace and hot and
cold water facilities provided Elec-
trio lights are even put into farm
houses nowadays.

IMPROVED TRY-SQUARE.

The improvement, however, consists in
giles to and across the main blade and
is seated in the recess in the stock, so
that it's outer face lies flush with the
edge Of the stock. The short blade
thus forms two wings, lying on Op-
posite sides of the main blade. One
Of these wings is square, so that its
upper edge lies in the plane Of the
upper edge Of the main blade. The
other wing, however. is cut away, SO
that it's upper edge forms an angle Of
forty-five degrees with the plane Of
the main blade.
In use the try-square may be placed
against the edge of timber, when,
if a plumb cut is desired, one face Of
the timber may be marked along the
edge of the main blade and the other
face Of the timber along the edge Of
the square wing. If bevel cut is to
be made, the timber is marked along
the inclined edge of the other wing,
while the other face of the timber is
marked, as before, along the edge of
the main blade.
When the try-square is used in the
ordinary way the wings will not be
found to offer any Inconvenience, but
will assist in keeping the stock square
with the edge Of the timber. The main
blade is provided on each face with a
graduated arc, which can be conven-
iently used as a protractor. The in
ventors Of this try-square are Messrs.
James Collie and Charles Beauchene of
Lake Linden, Mich.

LAKES or PURE SODA.
Vast Depesits Of valuable substanes

Vast Deposits Of valuable substanes
.xs,Jt In Mexico.
Mexico's treasure is its ready made
soda. Under the blazing sun of the
great desert south Of Yuma, at Adaii
bay, surrounded by bleak and barren
sand dunes. lie vast lakes of crystals
Of carbonate Of soda, to all appear
ances great masses of snow and ice
but in reality a substance which will
be making millions Of tons of soap anG
millions Of panes of glass.
At only one other place in the world
Is natural soda found under conditions
which admit of industrial development
and at that place it must be shipped
several hundred miles by rail, and
many tons of wafer must be evaporat
ed by coal to obtain ton of the prod
uct. The lakes are within 300 yards
of the sea, and the fierce sun and heat
of the desert attend to the evaporation
The worlds consumption is large.
amounting to several hundred thousand
tons annually, and at present nearly all
of it is manufactured from common
salt and with the use of expensive ma.
chinery.
At Adair bay, in Mexico, when the
temperature is right the water of the
lake crystallizes into pure carbonate Of
soda, nature doing what man requires
expensive machinery and vast amounts
Of coal to do. The source of the soda
is evidently found in the numerous
springs of comparatively fresh water
around the edges of the lakes. This
water contains small percentage of
carbonate of soda, but centuries of con.
tinual evaporation of the water, leav-
ing the soda residue, have formed a
practically unlimited amount Of pure
soda. An engineer estimates that there
Is enough on the surface to produce 1OG
tons daily for seventy-ive years.

the only fault to be found in this ap-
paratus is the probability of the rope
becoming twisted and disarranged, as
it is liable to do while lying on the floor
when not in use. When needed in an
emergency, valuable time is always
lost in Strengthening the rope out. A
wide awake inventor has solved this
difficulty by providing case in which
the line can be stored when not in use.
The case is in the form of circular
box, having an opening in the center.
The rope IS wrapped within this case.
When needed the case is thrown out of
the window. the rope unwinding auto
matically. The other end of the rope
Is secured to an iron chain, the latter
being permanently attached to sta
.tionary hook in the interior of the
building.

mended and did her own Homework.
They saved little money. enough to
pay for plot of rough ground, and on
that they proceeded to build a house,
borrowing the money to pay for it.
The house had a cellar and seven
rooms and an attic.
The heroic woman soon found, how
ever, that. skimp as she would, they
could not pay for their home on the
husbands salary. She resolved to earn
some money herself. Most women
would have thought they had enough
to do already. but this one had strong
purpose in view. That lifted her above
the level of common souls. She bought
a COW ard learned to milk and take
care of the animal herself. The COW
paid the building and loan association
dues. Next the heroic woman added
the chicken and egg industry to her
money getting ventures. A small poul-
try house was built. which soon was
added to, and that brought in money.
The ground was full Of roots and stones
about their house. These the home
maker dug up with her own hands and
made a vegetable garden. selling vege-
tables too. For years in summer she
worked from a. m. till 9 and 10 at
night. but the home was paid for.

Grain as FOOdstuH.

To most people of the present time,
says DR.. A. E. Gibson in the Dietetic
and HYGIENE Gazette. the necessity of
bread consumption for the mainte-
nance Of bodily existence stands as a
central. unquestionable fact. That such
4 high regard for grain as foodstuff,
however. is overdrawn is evident from
the circumstance that entire races of
men have been and are yet found to
sustain magnificent physical health
and strength on a diet wholly exempt
from bread.

How One Woman Got Her Home.

A wife and mother gives in the New
York Evening Telegram the story of
how she and her husband succeeded in
paying for a roof over their heads and
became comparatively well to do,
though the husbands wages were small
and they had four children 1t is
remarkable story Of woman's work and
will power.
To begin. she and her husband set
before themselves one purpOse-that of
owning home. The husband had to
work ten hours day six days in the
week. SO all the rest depended on the
woman. She made her own and her
children's clothes. mended the family
garments as long as they could be
