In building your own home, 1t pays
to look after the building Of the eel

study out for yourself the peculiart

course of 3-inch tile laid all arouno
the bottom. outside Of the wall, WIN
an outlet at sufficient distance. The
outlet may be simply q sink-hole flled
with stone: but 1t must be lower than
the cellar bottom. and give good op
portunity for any water that may ac'
cumulate to get away easily. II the
ground Is very damp. have another
course Of tile about two feet above OF
halfway towards the surface.
The use Of cement mortar 10 great
preventive against dampness In the
cellar, and the way the cellar door IL
made has great deal to do with It
You can make a cement bottom that
is porous. or you can make 1t water
tight. Just by the difference In the way
the materials are mixed. 1t some
times IL desirable to have the bach
end Of the cellar dry, and the front
part somewhat moist for fruit and
vegetables: but this depends upon
what use you wish to make Of the

Great changes have come in build.
ing small houses within few years
Until recently the idea Of hot and cold
water and a bathroom In house OF
this size was almost unheard OF. In
order to enjoy what are ordinarily
called modern conveniences," 1t was
necessary to occupy q large house;
but bathrooms, hot water In the kitch.

and they are being Installed In small.

necessary or because person prefers

sary that they should do without the
comforts Of civilization. With the in
crease OF small houses fitted with
such luxuries. the health Of the peo-
pie has improved.
1t is generally understood that
cleanliness is good thing for more
reasons than one. Cleanliness, as
long ago as Bible times, was recog.

An Accepted Invitation.

The Austrian humorous writer OF
the nineteenth century. M. G. saphir,
was as ready with his tongue as with
bis pen. as the following anecdote
will show: Among his friends was a
Nine. Lammel. who was renowned for
her stinginess. Although she loved
to have people Of culture at her table
she would not open her purse enough
to make that table attractive.
Once. after a particularly poor and
scanty dinner. Nine. Lammel asked
her guest:
"And when. my dear Saphir. would
you dine with mo again?"
saphir heaved a hungry sigh. "A,
once."-Youth's Companion.
