A good lesson in homo building may
be learned from the large operators
who make a business Of building up
whole streets in the suburbs with
houses OF medium size for the purpose
of selling the improved property at q
profit. besides increasing the valua-
ton OF the remaining vacant property
In the neighborhood. These real es-
tate operators have found that 1t pays
them best to give a great deal Of at
tention to the design Of their houses.
OF course every house must be sub
stantially built and arranged for prao-
tical convenience and utility; but this
is not enough. Such houses must be
attractive also Each must have dis
tinctive. Individual appearance.
This matter Of distinctive appear
ance is especially important where a
large number Of new houses are being
put up at the same time in the same
neighborhood; for nothing looks quite
SO cheap and uninviting as a whole
line Of new houses all packed In close
together and all of the same monoton-
GUS appearance.
While the average home builder
does not have this exact problem to
contend with, still he should take
warning from such examples and
guard against conditions that may
amount to practically the same thing.

The Pulse Watch.

Among the ingenious devices for the
physician may be mentioned a watch
constructed on the stop" principle
whereby the number of pulse beats per
minute may be indicated. A push but
ton is pressed at the beginning Of the
count and again at the twentieth pull
sation, when the number OF beats per
minute is shown on a dial without the
necessity for calculation. Still another
push On the button brings the counter
back to the starting point In the ordi-
nary method of taking the pulse the
observer is obliged to do two things at
the same time-count the beats and
keep his eye on the second hand Of his
watch. With the pulse watch only one
operation is necessary. the counting of
the pulsation up to twenty. when the
push button is pressed.-New York

There is no race of human albinos,
and the albino appears in nearly all
races. Latin albus means white in
English. The word albino is applied
to white plants and white animals.
Specifically when we hear the word
we think of white humans-men or
women without color. In a full or
complete albino (human) all pigment
or color is absent in the skin. in the in
terror organs and even in the brain.
White negroes and Indians exist. as

A total albino has a white cpl.

with the ravages wrought by early
English earthquakes. In 1880. for in

wrecked by an earthquake shock, and
at an earlier date Glastonbury abbey
had been completely destroyed. Stat
