TRUE ECONOMY TAKES IN ALL
 CONDITIONS AS WELL AS FUEL
 EXPENSES.
 John Ruskin once wrote that "econ- omy no more means saving money than it means the administration of house, spending or saving money, time or anything else to the best advantage. " This broad view of economy which rests on the measure of benefits, ap- piled to a valuation of buildings and their equipment, must therefore de- pend on how uniformly comfortable, how healthful and cIeanly are the con- ditions of the home atmosphere. Sec ondarily, true heating economy takes into consideration consistent relation between fuel bills and all these benefits, the preservation of house furnishings, through banishing of ash-dust, soot snd smoke from the livings, and how loug the outfit will endure. A house elab- orately built to please eyesight and meagerly warmed gives no idea of true economy. A prominent company maintains an educational bureau in each of the 25 largest cities Tn the country to inform all owners of cot tages, houses, sstores, banks, churches, schools, hotels, etc., concerning the broadly economical benefits secured by Ideal boilers and American radiators for steam and water warming. These outfits present the additional economi- cal feature of practically never wear ing out-an investment good for 50 to 100 years. This publicity work gives to each person the facts which make him better judge of his own precise need Thus, when the property owner is ready to buy apparatus for warming any building he can apply the Ruskin theory and measure economy upon the oasis of thorough results. Henry Foul lois & Son sell the Ideal.

A Handy Library.

Many of the new books come out in serial form in the magazines and pa pers. Cut out the installments as they appear and glue them together-book fashion, if from magazine, or in one long strip if taken from a newspaper. Take long, stout envelope, paste the name of the story on the back, fold the sheets or strips of clippings and place in the envelope. This is book which takes only a small space on the shelves, and the name is easily seen from the outside. These envelope books are invaluable for sick people, as frail hands are not tired by hold ing light slip of paper when it would be impossible to hold a heavy book As bit of cheer for all invalids they might be aptly termed the sunbeam library -Housekeeper

LIGHT FOR BIRDS.
Len9thens Their Day, Giving Them
 More Time for Feeding.

Winter has always proved a trying time for rare and delicate birds in the zoological gardens. One interesting theory has been advanced, that owing to the long nights in these attitudes in winter the poor birds do not feed long enou-h during the day to keep body and soul together" In the old insect house some good was effected by inducing the birds to feed before dawn with the aid of powerful motor lamp which was placed there an hour in the winter.
 In the new small birdhouse, says the London Daily Mail, an elaborate in candescent gaslight installation has just been completed. It is controlled from outside and at six o'clock in the morning a watchman switches on the lights.
 Immediately a chorus of songs breaks out from the aroused birds, which start breakfast immediately This extra feeding time has already produced good results in the shape of improved condition of the birds of par adise, mynahs and other rare tropical birds in the house.
