Jules Sandeau relates that one time
while living in Paris BalZac locked
himself up IN his room for twenty-five
days and twenty-five nights, refusing
to see any one and keeping the cur
tains closed and the lights continually
burning even In broad daylight. The
only human being he saw during this
time was his servant. whom he rang
for when he felt the need Of food and
which he washed down with numerous
cups OF coffee. He would throw him
self on his bed only when entirely ex-
hausted from lack Of sleep, and he re-
mained In complete ignorance OF what
was ranspiring outside, the state Of
the weather and even OF the time and
day Of the week. He only freed him,
self from this voluntary captivity
when he had written the word End
on the last page Of the manuscript he
began when he entered his prison.

Coral That Shocks.

On the coast Of the West Indian
islands a curious kind Of coral is
found. called "mnlepoca~ This has a
most extraordinary property which
makes the people who know it very
shy Of handling it. The moment you
pick up a piece a sort Of electric thrill
runs through you and an agonizinG
pain shoots through your jaws. You
feel as If every tooth and every nerve
and muscle connected with them was
burning. The acute pain lasts gener-
ally for about half an hour and slowly
passes OF, but the effects do not dis
appear entirely for hours. The reason
Of this curious shock OF poisoning Is

THE YOUNG BRIDES
FIRST DISCOVERY

Their wedding tour had ended. and
they entered their new home to settle
down to what they hoped to be one long
uninterrupted blissful honeymoon.
But, alas! the young brides troubles
soon begin, when she tried to reduce the
cost of living with cheap big can baking
powders.
She soon discovered that all she got
was a lot for her money, and it was not
all baking powder, for the bulk of it was
cheap materials which had no leavening
power Such powders will not make light,
wholesome food. And because of the abb
sence of leavening gas, it requires from
two or three times as much to raise cakes
or biscuits as it does of Calumet Baking
Powder.
Thus, eventually, the actual cost to
you, Of cheap baking powders, is more
than Calumet would be.
Cheap baking powders often leave tho
bread bleached and acid, sometimes yell
low and alkaline. and often unpalatable.
They are not always of uniform strength
and quality.
Now the bride buys Calumet-the per.
fectly wholesome baking powder, moder.
ate in price, and always uniform and re-
liable. Calumet keeps indefinitely. makes
cooking easy, and is certainly the most
economical after all.

one room above the ground floor.
Builders. however. have repeatedly
pushed it up higher, until now we see
a good many houses built very much
after this plan, with as many as three
bedrooms in the roof.
1t costs but little more to build a
seven or eight-roomed house In this
way than to build a five-roomed house
with the rooms all on one level The
rafters, of course, are longer, and it
takes more shingles; but the work on
the roof is not much different, and so
far as the inside is concerned, you
simply add the finishing up of the ex-
ira rooms. The foundation is no
larger: and the only addition on the
first floor is the stairway, which, in
this case, is t,ilt in and closed with
a door at the bottom. You seldom, in
fact, see an open stairway In bun
galow house. 1t seems to be out of
keeping with the general layout.
There is a modification of ideas in re-
gard to house stairways, even in
larger houses The question has often
arisen: Why should We build a fancy,
open stair directly opposite the main
entrance door. as though every per-
son entering must receive an invita-
ton to go up aloft? AS a matter of
fact, not one stranger in a dozen en-
tering the front door goes upstairs,
and 1t makes considerable difference
to the members of the family where
the stairway is placed. Very often it
would be much handler If located in
the middle of the house 1t would
take up less room, too, and save some
money-and save the architect
headache. 1t seems to me that we
pay too much attention to fashion or
custom: one person is afraid to do
anything different, and each one fol-
lows along after his heighbor without
knowing why.

low order, or rather a modification
of the bungalow idea. Properly speak
Ing, a bungalow has only one floor,
but here we have a slight departure
from this rule. though the resem-
blance to that type of house Is still
maintained.
The bungalow developed in this
country on the Pacific coast. The
Idea, probably, was originally brought
from India, although a great many
architects claim that the modern bun
galow is really the outgrowth of the
log cabins and the sod and adobe
houses of the early inhabitants of the
United States. Probably bungalow
architectural ideas could be traced
back to all these sources. The result
is that We have very comfortable,
low-cost house, and the bungalow type
of structure is being extensively built
In different parts of the country and
is constantly increasing in popularity.
Within easy reach of large cities,
bungalows are going up by the hun
dreds, and the idea is good one.
People are tired of being crowded in
to small. unhealthy quarters. and are
taking this means of providing them
selves with good, sensible homes at a
reasonable outlay.

and broad; but, in order to get more
sleeping accommodation, the ridge
