such house Is very cheap. and 1t Is within the means of any young man who possesses ordinary health. If his wife will help him little, there Is no good reason why he should not have it paid for in few years time.
 There is great advantage in s living room like the one provided in this design. because you can have op- posite windows and ventilation from both directions. besides an opportuni- ty to get a bit of sunlight twice day, It requires sunlight to brighten up a home: and too many .hving rooms are built in such way as to shut out the direct rays of the sun. This room Is large enough to be comfortable in win ter, with a good heating stove in the far corner from the kitchen. You can not very well have a heating stove in a small room; 1t makes the air too stuffy: but in a room as big as this you can have circulation enough to keep the atmosphere in good eondi' tion.
 There is plenty of roof surface on this little house to provide soft water, which Is another luxury enjoyed in small places that Is unknown in the city A good cistern with filter that works right, is a great satisfaction Of course, 1t Is sometimes apt to be neglected, and the water becomes rank-smelling; but this is no fault or the cistern; 1t is the fault of the man who has 1t in charge. You cannot neglect cistern and have nice water; but you can have good, clean, soft rain water with very little trouble if you go about it right.

Method in His Forulveness.

One of c. W. Morses acquaintances called a friend into his Wall street office the other day. He said that he wanted to show something funny.
 Look at this" said he. Tt is an engraved acknowledgment of Mir. Morse's thanks to those who sent him congratulatory letters and telegrams, when he was released from the peni- tentiary at Atlanta"
 It didn't make tremendous hit with the man to whom 1t was shown. He breezed hastily through some of the better known aspects of MT. Morse's character. and predicted gloomily as to MT. Morse's future.
 Don't talk that way" said the banker. "I don't like to hear people roast poor Charley like that"
 The other fellow stared open eyed. That's funny" said he. Morse sold you out in the most cold blooded man ner possible He double-crossed you. and then. to make 1t good. he triple crossed you. And now you're talking love and forgiveness for the man who jobbed you. Is your bean loose?"

WARM BATH TO INDUCE SLEEP
Effect of Water, with Liberal Dash of Ammonia, Is to Dispel un-
 natural Fatigue.

l have frequently heard young peo pie. especially girls, say that after a dance or ball, they are totally unit for anything all the next day, and very often they are unable to sleep owing to fatigue and long hours in a heated atmosphere.
 Now, I propose an unfailing rem edy for this state of things. True. 1t may entail little trouble and delay
 My advice-is to have a warm bath. to which liberal dash of ammonia has been added Do not remain in the bath, but jump into the warm water. sponge the body all over and then dry quickly Sleep, sweet and restful, will follow. There will be no twitching Of the limbs through over-fatigue, and you will wake some. hours afterward with an appetite for breakfast and ready to enjoy a brisk walk in the fresh air.
 In these modern days there is no difficulty about hot water. and there should be no excuse for neglecting this advice. It must be remembered, also, that the body must have been in a state of precipitation for many hours, and the warm bath with am monia is not only cleansing but will prevent your taking cold.

 Around the nesting problem center all the loveliest and tenderest asso- citations of life. A little four-room cottage just big enough for two to start housekeeping in. is shown in this plan. The widest part is 30 feet; and the extreme length, 42 feet; but this does not mean that the house Is 30 by 42 feet in size.

bany, N. T.. July IT, 174S. and died there July 2, 1912, at the age of sixty three years In 1774 he was a major in the New York militia and at the outbreak of the revolution joined the army which invaded Canada under Montgomery. He became a lieuten- ant colonel in March, 1776, and later in November of the same year was appointed colonel and placed in charge of Fort George. His next command was that of Fort Schuyler In TIT. ear Her known as Fort Stanwix. which fort he defended successfully during a twenty-day siege by the British and Indians under St. Leger, whose CO., operation with Burgoyne he pre- vented.
 By an act of congress, October 4, TIT, the thanks of congress were given "to Gansevoort and the officers and troops under his command" On the 18th of February, 1909, he was made brigadier general of the United States army.
 The Gansevoort collection numbers thirty objects typical of the period they represent. The two uniforms one of the revolution and one of the 1S10-12 period-attract more attention than anything else. The revolution ary one is the only uniform of the time in the museum collection except that of Gen Washington. The coat Is a long cutaway, capable of being hooked back to display the lining and embroidery on the inside. It is made of dark blue cloth, faced with scarlet, and has scarlet collar. lapels and cuffs, all trimmed with silver braid and set oil with silver buttons wrought ln floral design. The vest is of dark green material also decorated with silver braid and plain silver buttons. while the trousers are knickerbockers of cream or buff flannel. with plain silver buttons This uniform is the one worn by Gen. Peter Gansevoort. IT., when he was in command of Fort Stanwix in TIT.
 In the collection Is a sword of this period, belonging to Gen. Gansevoort 1t is decorated with the arms of Great Britain. and Is undoubtedly of an old design There also is a folding ma aogany camp cot. used by the general when he was in the field.
 The other uniform. which represents the period of 1S10-12. Is in excellent condition. It is made of dark blue cloth, lined with buff flannel, having ieep cuffs and a high collar with broad lapels buttoning back to the coat. all of the same material trimmed with gold braid and brass buttons inscribed with an eagle surrounded by seventeen stars
 There is an interesting sword pre- sented in 1872 to Brig. Gen. P. Ganse- goort, Jr., which is of very old for eign pattern, and inscribed with the words The Sword of Rochambeau."
 There are several other swords, belts, uniforms, etc, used by the gen. eral and the members of his family, dating from the revolution to the civil war.
 The collection was donated to the United States National Museum by Mrs. Catherine Gansevoort Lansing of Albany. N. Y, granddaughter of Gen. Peter Gansevoort, Jr.

little homes for themselves. It Is the right way to get the greatest possible enjoyment out of life. There is quite a difference, usually. in the amount of money that can be made in small town or village. in comparison with the same persons income after he has become established in large city;
 but 1t Is easier for young folks in small place to get a home of their own than 1t is in the city. It Is easy to prove this by statistics. A ten dollar bill does not look so large after you have paid the claims of the city grocery man. the market man, and all the other hands that are outstretched for dividends. Things are not always what they seem; and the extra pay of a man who moves from small place to a large one is usually unsatisfac- tory. My experience is that those in smaller towns and villages who set out to have a comfortable home of their own are in comparatively better

A banana is a hard thing for the greenhorn to buy right One way to tell is by the tip end. If 1t is sweet the tip is small and comes to a sharp point. If there Is an abundance or thick, tough skin, full of leathery fiber. something is wrong with the banana; maybe it has too much plan tain in it.
