UNDERMINING HOUSE
AN IMPORTANT PART
Builders Tastes Improve in
the Treatment of the
Masonry.

The underpinning of your house may
greatly improve or mar its appearance,
depending upon the taste you display in
the selection of the material
cobblestone is always a good mate
rial for a picturesque effect. especially
when the cobblestones are used also in
the chimneys. One should be careful
that the joints are raked out deep, SO
as to preserve the natural rough con-
tour of each stone.
Rough blocks of stone make an at
tractive and durable underpinning-
They may be trimmed into regular
shapes. laid up irregularly If one
prefers a rustic appearance. Many
kinds of stone weatherstain-
ed all sorts of pretty colors, and an
underpinning of this variegated mate
rial is most pleasing.
Square blocks Look Best.
| In stonework, many beautiful eff
| fects may be got by the manner of
| treating the joints. Square or oblong
| blocks usually look best when they
are treated in formal way, with the
joints carefully fooled.
Rustic work should be raked out deep
| enough to show the Irregularities of
each stone. A "tuckpointed" joint (the
| kind where the mortar bulges little
beyond the wall, like a dressmaker' S
''tuck') is a very practical joint. as il
gives the maximum amount of mortar
to withstand the elements. In such q
case, it is customary to tool the joint
with a half circular tool. A somewhat
bizarre effect is obtained by painting
the joints black or using lamp-b black

Now is the time to buy real estate In
Hammond.
The future is pregnant with possibili-
ties, yes probabilities.
The gun Is loaded, the hammer Is
raised, the trigger is on n hair.
Realty values are low, lower than
amy other city in the region.
Property must Increase in value with
the increase In population.
The wise man Is "bear,- but he Is
buying property just the same.
The small timfd investor keeps his
money in the bank.
BY the time he makes up his mind to
buy, real estate Will be higher.
Timidity pays the difference between

THE SITUATION ANALYZED.
An analysis of the real estate situa-
ton in Hammond points indisputably
to marked rise in realty values. Just
when this will come is a matter of per-
sonal judgment.
The industries of Hammond are OF
such a character that they are affected
| by business conditions of the country
at large. Consequently the election OF
right congress this fall and salts
| factory settlement of the railway rate
controversy are factors in the situa-
| ton that will have to be considered.

THE REAL AMERICAN SHIP.

Though the Stars and Stripes are now
almost stranger in all cross-seas COM
merce, the flag floats over the largest
merchant tonnage in our history, the
second largest merchant tonnage in the
world. This is fact strangely unfamil-
lar to most Americans away from the
sound and sight of the ocean. The de-
cline of our foreign carrying trade.
which for years has engaged the spas
modic attention Of Congress and the last
ing regret of the country, has not involv-
ed coastwise, lake and river shipping.
which in efficiency and magnitude stands
without rival anywhere.
In 1855, when the long decay of our
deep-sea shipping may be said to have
begun, the American merchant marine,
of 5, 2l2,0 tons, was almost equally d.
vided between a sea fleet of 2,348, 900
tons and coast fleet of 2, SAG, 900 tons
the balance being craft of the whale.
cod and mackerel fisheries. Now, out of
total shipping Of 1855, 900 tons, only
1878, 600 tons are represented by register
ed foreign-going ships, while the domes-
tic fleet has more than doubled from the
figures Of 1855 to 6, 451, 900 tons-a ship
ping half as large again as the entire
merchant marine of Germany.
While our overseas fleet has been fore
ed to stagger along under the handicaps
of high protective system without any
compensating protection from the gov
eminent, the domestic fleet has remain
ed, as it has been always, the most com
pletely protected of American industries.
No foreign vessel is permitted, under
penalty Of forfeiture, to carry ton of
freight from one American port 20 an
other. This policy is operative not only
on the Great Lakes as we'll as On the sea-
coast, but on the IS, 900 mile voyages be-
tween our Atlantic and Pacific seaboards,
through the Straits of Magellan or
around Cape Horn. and between our
home ports and Porto Rico, Hawaii and
Alaska.
The result has been an unparalleled
maritime expansion of domestic shipping
beneath the American flag. Though the
lake shore and the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts are girdled by many lines of rail.
roads, the coastwise carriers are more
| numerous, active and efficient than they
have ever been before. On the Northern
lakes there is vast feet of 2, IT'S, OO(
tons of shipping. There are 2, eO9, OO(
tons more on the Atlantic and Gull
coasts, and 524, 900 tons on the Pacific

Literary News and Notes.

Her Majesty Elizabeth, Queen of
Roumania, tells what hard work it is to
be queen in the New Idea Woman's
Magazine for January. 1t seems that a
queen has lots to do, and very little time
to herself. On the other hand, Helen C.
Hambidge tells, in "Some Cinderellas of
the Stage" of the many American act
resses who have succeeded in their am
bition to acquire titles and wealth, or
rather who proved so irresistibly charm

natural sequence. "Taking The Desert

To Test the Lobster Law.

The Maine lobster laws are to be test
ed as result of the seizure of nearly
1000 "short'' Holsters by fish wardens,
when they boarded the Boston lobster
snack c. B. Harrington, which had been
driven into Portland harbor by stress of
weather. The Holsters, while of illegal
length in Maine waters, would be legal
for sale in Massachusetts. Isaac Harvey,
owner of the smack, has engaged coun-
sci to fight the case. He claims that as
the State law provides that vessels Off
cered and owned by non-residents can be
seized and held to pay the fine, that law
is unconstitutional from the fact that it
discriminates between residents and nom
residents.
