sides to the weather hts lot of this
kind to perfection. You cannot get
too much light and air into kitchen.
1t is the most important room in the
house-a room where woman
spends a great part of her time: and
you cannot make it too pleasant or
convenient Narrow city lots are not
well calculated to supply light, espe-
cially during the fall and early win
ter months; but a kitchen built In
this fashion comes about as near solv-
ing the problem as is possible to do.
There is an advantage in a full two
story house The extra space over
the upper rooms is worth a great deal
to keep the house cool. The shape and
height of this house gives it a good
appearance from the street. 1t does
not look like a narrow house. Prob
ably the size and shape of the veran-
da have something to do with, this;
but 1t is a fact that house built like
this looks larger than it really Is.
Such a house may be built under
favorable conditions for about $4,000
or $4,000 A great deal depends on
labor conditions and the distance that
building materials have to be shipped
Some communities are Disseminated
against when 1t comes to house build
ing because building supplies must be
shipped long distances. Some com
munities have no stone or sand-two
commodities which are very import

Monkey ENJOYED erIef Liberty.

A monkey which escaped from a
shop in Argyle street, Glasgow, Scot
land, the other day, bolted into a fruit
and CONNECTION shop, where it jumped
about and evaded capture by getting
on to a high shelf, from which vantage
point 1t absolutely refused to be
tempted with monkey nuts and other
eatables. From this shelf it jumped
on to the fanlight above the door, and
In this way took its departure 1t then
climbed into an adjoining sausage
manufacturers, and got behind the
counter where it upset many articles.
A considerable time elapsed before it
was captured.

An Athlete.

Join an athletic club. Get one of
the old members, or better still. one
of the attendants, to show you where
the gymnasium is so that you will not
feel embarrassed when visitors to the
club ask you to show them around
Step into the cafe and order the wait
er to bring you a cylindrical glass re-
ceptacle containing any one of num-
Der of liquids which you will find
printed on a card which the attendant
will hand you. Grasp this receptacle
firmly in your right hand and raise 1t
to your lips The trick is to lift 1t
without spilling drop and set it down
without leaving a drop to SPILL Con-
tinue this exercise until you are
thoroughly exhausted Then have
yourself put into cab and sent home

A full two-story seven-room house
of a style like the one here shown is
very popular generally in the smaller
cities. AS it is only 20 feet in width
this house can be built on the or
binary narrow city lot
1t is just as necessary to specialize
in designing houses as it is in any
other line of business. Living condi-
tions differ a great deal as the town
increases in size, and we are obliged
to build houses to fit the changing
conditions When a village has one
hundred inhabitants, twenty or thirty
houses will hold them all. Each house
may occupy a corner, and have an
acre or two of land for air space and
for growing fruits and vegetables.
There are no sewers, cuTbs. or pave
ments; the streets are not lighted
at night there are no policemen or
other public servants to pay; so the
tax levy on two-acre lot is not very
oppressive. But when the boomers
get to work, advertising the won

Beauty In EXPRESSION.

If the great number of women who
believe that they are sadly lacking
in beauty who pass valuable time and
money in vainly trying to acquire it
could but be brought to realize that
the highest form of beauty is that
of expression This is attained by the
possession of inward graces, which
frequently transform a socalled plain
face into one more beautiful and win
ming than the combination of a per-
feet complexion and regular features.

African Ants.

These insects sometimes set for
ward in such multitudes that the
whole earth seems to be in motion. A
corps of them once was seen to at
tack and cover an elephant quietly
feeding in pasture. In eight hours
nothing was to be seen but the skele-
ton OF that enormous animal complete
ly picked. The business was done, and
the enemy marched on after fresh
prey. Such power have the smallest
creatures acting in concert.
