Notes In Passing
BY Bert.

"To err is human" Indeed it is i'm
possible for the human not to err The
limitations OF our knowledge; the
frallty of our judgment; the natural
weakness, mental, moral, and physical
of humanity, all lead TO error. There
fore one who refuses to acKnow ledge
errors is untrue to himself
And yet how rare virtue is frank
open confession of mistakes? How
true it is tonature, They all with one
consent began to make excuse. 5"
FRANKLIN says, 81 never knew man
who was good at making excuses good
at anything else" Another has well
said, "Petty and shutting excuses
which satisfy vain and little minds, do
but irrltate generous ones still more
than the fault which they would ex-
plain away" If this is true with mep
how much more with God.
Confession of fault is form of hon
esty indispensable to a right standing
ia the estimate of others.

and may possibly be in the long run just little bit the most economical.
 In the accompanying perspective and floor plan, we illustrate very at tractive little house design especially adapted to cement stucco construction "a type of construction which is forging its way into increasing favor because of it's pleasing appearance when appropriately designed, and it's comparative cheapness. This house Is of the characteristic western bunga- low style It is very compact and con- venient in arrangement, all space be- ing used to good advantage. Five good-sized rooms are provided, besides bathroom and pantry, each room be- ing very well lighted, and each bed room having a capacious closet.

good enough, it is true, for Southern California or the southern states, such as Florida and Louisiana, but in the main not suitable for practical build ing throughout the country at large. It has been affirmed that the cost of the bungalow style dwelling is far in excess of that of the ordinary type two-story house providing the same accommodations.
 The criticism against the bungalow has been due, not so much to the real characteristics of the style itself, as to the over-enthusiasm of it's devo- tees. who have advocated it for build ings for which it was never intended.
 Designed originally for summer cot tage work and for spacious building sites, preferably of hilly nature, there have been too many instances where this type of dwelling has been squeezed into narrow city lot and

 The railroad men looked upon this transaction as another evidence of the ability of Marvin Hughitt, and they were persuaded that his prediction that the forest would furnish an ample supply of fuel for his road for at least quarter of a century was correct But
 Three years later the general super ntendent of tle Northwestern found it necessary to report to President Hughitt that the roads growth of busi- ness had been so great, and the conse- quent increase of locomotives so large, that it would be necessary speedily to make arrangements for a sufficient fuel supply for the motive power
 Why" replied Mr. Hughitt. we nave NOOu cllOuSu llI Oul lOIt0I lO ltlhG care of all our locomotives for years to come, haven't we?"
 MT. Hughitt,' retorted the superin- tendent. 'I have been out looking at that forest of ours, and I tell you now that you have got there just about enough fuel to furnish us with a sup ply of kindling wood for the engines for about two years"
 That statement MT Hughitt, on per sonal investigation, found to be abso, lutelv correct The growth of the west and of the railway business there had far surpassed his most enthusias- tic expectations, and eaten up that great forest in a way he had never dreamed of even in his fancy-free mo- ments.

 There are many who speak of the present as the Age of Cement. And certainly, from the rapidly multiply ing evidences to be found on every hand, it would appear as if concrete had already gone too far to establish its claims as a very seryiceable substi- ute for the old-time stone and brick and timber-not necessarily driving these latter out of use in building construction save where their cost be- comes prohibitive, but lending itself easily to attractive combination with them, showing a wider adaptability to varying conditions affecting de- sign, and having some exclusive ad- vantages that readily explain the tre- mendous popularity of this versatile form of building material

But now that the manufacture of Portland cement has been mechanically and scientifically perfected, and experience has taught the world absolute safe and reliable methods of using it in the mixing and structural application of concrete people everywhere are coming in in creasing numbers to recognize that the cement house may be just as at tractive as any other-just as dry and healthful and light and cheery-

Marvin Huehitt Thought He Had Bought Fuel Supply for Thirty Years, and 1t Lasted
 About Five.

It used to be a saying among the railway men who were brought into in timate association with Marvin Hugh itt, who recently resigned the presi- dency of the Chicago & Northwestern railway, after serving in that capacity for g years, and being with the road 38 years altogether in active manage ment, that only once to their knowl- edge had Mr. Hughitt made an erro- neous prediction touching on matters appertaining to the great property which he directed.
 In 1880 Mr Hughitt became vice president, as well as general manager, of the Northwestern. As was the case with almost all of the railways of the United States until within compara- lively recent years, the steam in the Northwestern locomotives was then generated by means of wood fuel, and one of the serious problems that Vice President Hughitt had to face almost as soon as he took that office was that of securing a ready and sufficient sup ply of fuel for his locomotives.
 At last he discovered in northwest ern Illinois, within convenient distance of Chicago, several thousand acres of land heavily covered with the kind of timber regarded as especially valuable for steam producing purposes. He be- gan negotiations for the purchase Of this tract, and having secured title to it, he took some of his subordinates and other railway friends on tour of inspection of the forest. Here he said, proudly, as the party entered tho woods, "is a property which will put the Northwestern out of all danger of embarrassment because of lack of proper fuel"
 How long, MT. Hughitt, do you think this supply of wood will last?' one of the party asked
 Well" was the reply, estimating in normal growth of the railroad busi- ness and the increase of locomotives I figure that this forest will furnish us

CURE THAT SORE THROAT

Sore throat is inflammation of the mucous membrane of the throat, and if this membrane happens to be at all sensitive a predisposition to sore throat will exist.
 Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic is both preventative and cure for sore throat because it possesses extraor- dinary cleansing, healing and germi- cidal qualities. Just a little in glass of water, used as gargle, will quick ly relieve all soreness and strengthen the mucous membrane of the throat, and thus overcome all tendency to sore throat
 PaXtine is far superior to liquid an tiseptics or Peroxide for all toilet and hygienic uses.
 Paxtine may be obtained at any drug store, 25 and soc a box, or sent postpaid upon receipt of price by The Paxton Toilet Co.,, Boston, Mass. Send for free sample

 He'd be put in the gyard-house," said the sergeant.
 He wud?"
 He wud."
 But if the private only knew the sergeant was consated little mon key, and said niver a wurrd, wud he be put in the gyard-house for that?' inquired Private Leahy.
 "Av coorse he wud not" said the sergeant, loftily

How He Kept Horatio Seymour From Being Chosen Delegate to ConVen- ton of 1876, and Was Not
 Suspected.

\ year or so prior to the Democrat ic national convention .,f 1876 the lead ing Democrats of the west were of the common opinion that the Demo cratic candidate should be named from among the western Democrats, or, at least, should not be chosen from among the Democracy of New York state. They reasoned that it was high time that the west should be rec ognized by the national Democracy in the selection of a candidate for presi- dent, and not be compelled longer to find consolation in the nomination of a candidate for vice-president from that section.
 Meanwhile Samuel J. TiIden, then governor of New York, was perfect ing the adroit strategy by means of which he expected to secure the Demo cratic nomination for president And how skflIful and subtle was his strat- egy, and how little suspected, an anec- dote which l will HOW relate will well illustrate.
 One day in the early spring of 1876 Governor TiIden, at Albany was help ed on board an express train running from Chicago to New York. He com plained when the porter of the parlor car which was of the then common stateroom variety, showed him a small room, the only one vacant.
 T am suffering considerably he said. T want a place where I can lie down"
 It so happened that the general counsel of the New York Central, Chauncey NJ Depew, was returning by this train from an important railway meeting at Chicago. He heard Gov. Tilden,s complaint, and immediately invited it's author to share his own room,
 'I am suffering severely from a boil on my leg" explained MT. Tilden. and have not been able as yet to con quer it. l shall be glad to accept your offer, because l can lie down up- on your lounge"
 The governor had hardly stretched himself out when a third man, in great excitement entered the room and greeted the governor. He was Charles w Hutchinson, at that time mayor of Utica.
 Gov. TiIden,1 he panted, q have hunted for you everywhere. 1 learn ed just in time to catch this train that you were a passenger on it.
 "Plc2ce be seated, Mr. Mayor" said the governor.
 T can't sit down; am too greatly interested" replied Mayor Hutchin- son. The fact is, there is serious trouble all along the line of the New York Central. The party is in peril. You are in peril And I have come to tell you in the hope that you will be able to put an end to the trouble" "
 Sit down, please, MT. Mayor" said the governor, very calmly.
 T cant sit down; l am too excited.

a convenient scheme of further adorn- ment by the use of flower boxes and vases. It forms not only the main decorative feature of the front of the building, but serves the extremely practical end of being the outdoor living room for the family in summer weather.
 Entering the house, we find the en- tire front portion given up to living room, 16 by 14 feet, opening directly into a spacious dining-room, 12 by IA feet, the latter having a large mantel and fireplace, adding much to the pleasing home-likeness of the interior Both of these rooms are nicely light ed, and provide the accommodations for the necessary furniture for con- venient housekeeping. The broad space in the dining-room near the kitchen door Is just the location which built-in sideboard or buffet should have to be most convenient and orna- mentally located.
 The kitchen connects directly with the diningroom, giving convenient service; and the pantry is also con- veniently located near the back porch entrance and the cellar stairway. A hall leads directly from the living room back to the bathroom Doors open leading into this hallway, afford ing easy access also from kitchen and bedrooms to the bathroom.
 The bedrooms in this cottage both lie on the same side of the house. and we'll lighted, the closets forming Q feature that will be much appreci- ated by the housewife.
 The exterior material for this bungalow is Portland cement stucco, which lends itself readily to a great variety of schemes of ornamentat1on. The body of the wall may be either wood or steel framework, or 1t may be built up of brick or concrete blocks or hollow tile If built of molded shapes, the stucco may be plastered on directly; but if of framwork, ths | stucco must be carried by lathing, preferably of wire mesh or of one of the forms of expanded metal lath, which must be fastened firmly to the frame, but sufficiently loose to allow for expansion and contraction, thus preventing the formation of cracks. The~exterior finish may be of rough plaster effect, or pebble dash, or em- body a color scheme secured by the use of colored aggregates exposed by brushing and acid washing, or ob- tained by mixing mineral colors with the mortar or by the external appli- cation of appr6priate colored finishes. The use of mosaics of colored tiling or angular fragments of vitreous ma. terial is another possibility that offers itself.

TiLden an Adroit Politician

And l want to talk to you privately"
 You can say here whatever you choose" answered MT. Tilden. You need not be afraid of Mr. Depew. We are old friends. We don't agree po- litically, but you need have no fear of him. What occasions your excite ment?"
 Why, there is a general freight agent of the New York Central who has great influence with all the men of the road. They're mostly Demo, crats, you know, and he is packing all the party caucuses with them. He is going to defeat Horatio Sey- mour as a delegate to the state con vendon; he is going to defeat all your other friends At the state conven- ton we want to elect Seymour del egate to the national convention But if this man is not called off, we can't do it."
 Well, what can I do9' asked the governor of the mayor q don't see how l can properly interefere"
 oh, yes. you can. You know Will jam H. Vanderbilt. He will listen to you. You see him and ask that this man be called off or discharged"

put in between high two or three-story dwellings, much to the detriment of the typical bungalow style. Much very peculiar art has been perpetrated in the name of the bungalow, and it has to account for many freakish dwellings for which it is not in any way to blame.
 We have never happened to see a bungalow-style office building, nor do we remember having heard of one; still what is almost as bad, the bunga- low style church is quite a common thing in many of our cities and suburbs. These are uses never con templated by the originators of the bungalow in this country, and should not be charged up against the style. The bungalow, rightly understood, is an artistically designed cottage, and within that sphere has some exceed ingly creditable features of work to show.
 The estimated cost of the house here shown ranges from $1,650 to S1 1,S00 depending to some extent on the locality and on local market con- ditions of material and labor. The design has that simplicity and direct ness which are the keynotes charac- teristic of the bungalow style of house. At a cost no greater than for a plain, 'lnornamented cottage with the same accommodations, real home-like. cozy and attractive dwell- ing is secured.
 The porch, as can be seen, is a prominent feature adding to the external appearance-and the same is true of every typical bungalow. This one is six eet wide by nineteen and a half fee2t long, extending along al most the entire front of the dwelling, supported by massive pillars. and the coping of the inclosing wall affording

gestion, MT. Mayor You have done me a real service by coming to me and making it." And then he inti- mated to his caller that the interview was at end. The train was slowing up at Poughkeepsie, and the mayor bade the governor good day and went from the room.
 As soon as he was gone Governor Tilden arose carefully from the couch, limped painfully to the door of the stateroom, cautiously thrust his head out to see whether the mayor of Uti- ca had really gone, and then returning whispered to Depew:
 This man of whom Hutchinson complained recently called upon me. 1 was very much impressed with him. I had several conversations with him. He will do nothing of which I do not approve. What he is doing I do ap- prove" And, winking slyly, Governor Tilden again stretched himself out up, on the sofa.
 From that moment Depew knew that the delegates to the New York state convention would be men whom Tilden could trust, who would elect their delegates to the national con vention united in Tilden's support and with whom western delegates could make no bargain looking to the side tracking of Samuel J.

Benjamin H. Bristow, by Seeking Re publican Nomination, Defeated Roscoe ConkIing, Who Was
 Grants Choice for Honor.

When President Grant, in 1874, called Benjamin H. Bristow of Louis vile, Ky, to the cabinet as secretary of the treasury, it was said that the president had made no more fitting appointment than that of this lawyer, who rose to the rank of colonel in the Union army during the Civil war. Bristow was a handsome man, built somewhat on the physical lines of General Hancock, although not quite so tall; and he somewhat resembled Hancock in the contour of his fea- lures and the manner in which he trimmed his whiskers.
 A few months after Bristow entered the cabinet what were called the Whisky Ring frauds were exposed, scandals involving underyaluation of whisky so that the treasury depart nal revenue tax BristoW, as secfe- tary of the treasury, prosecuted these cases vigorously; and in the course of the prosecution some of President Grants friends seemed likely to be- come smirched Grants intense loy- alty to his friends, and Bristow's conscientious devotion to duty and principle, brought about strained rela- tions, so that at last Bristow retired from the cabinet.
 This occurred in 1876, a presidential election year, and instantly Bristow became the favored candidate of the so-called reform element in the Re
