Women Win As
Home Builders

on the general principle that IL
takes a woman to do well the
thing that a man knows all
about. However, the making OF
a real home is second nature
with most women and for that
reason they should be consulted
pretty freely about the plans for
the house. When it comes to
lumber we find the women are
extremely keen on the satin fin
ish and smooth surface stuff.
Guesa they know that this kind
of lumber is going to save .
heap of money in the actual
work of building because 1t
won't need any planning or sand
papering by carpenters. We're
strong on that very thing our
selves and the mills we buy Of

PYRAMID OF CHE0PS.
Il Would Take . Hundred Millions to
Duplicate Il Today.


One Of the most familiar questions
asked by personally conducted tour
lists visiting Egypt and the great pyra-
mid built by Cheops is. Il wonder how
much it cost TO build it?' A building
contractor with head for figures and
building estimates has estimated that
the Cheops pyramid could not be dupli-
Gated today for less than 500 100000
With modern machinery and the en-
ployment of 10000 stonecutters. haul
ers. quarrymen. masous and laborers
n duplicate OF the pyramid could be
erected in two years.
Ii has been calculated that the work
really required the services OF 100000
men for thirty years. The Cheops
pyramid occupies space OF 1Hs4 acres
and Is 146 feet high and contains u.s.
$4,000 cubic yards of stone and gran
lite. The material alone represents an
item of S36.Oo0.aOO. while the labor
would increase this about by SI2.ooo,
600. To this must be added $4,000, 600
for tools. transportation and similar
items. The pyramid Is built on solid
rock 80 feet deep. and To build Il foun-
dation OF this character would add 10

total of Sloo. zoo, 0O0.-New York World.

BIG BELLS.

Canton Has One Eighteen Feet High
and Forty five Feet In Circumference.
Some of the old world bells are
heavy indeed. Great Paul. of st.
Pauls cathedral. in London. weighs
nearly seventeen tons and is nearly
thirty feet around. The first Big
Ben of Westminster was cast moro
than fifty years ago and weighed
about fourteen tons and was about
twenty eight feet around. But Big
Ben" had crack and was made over,
losing some weight, and the clapper
was made smaller. being now 600
pounds instead of about a ton. Pc
ter of York" cost $4,000, weight
twelve and one-half tons: twenty-five
feet in diameter or thereabouts.
The largest hanging bell in the
world is said to be that in the great
Buddhist monastery near Canton. 1t
is eighteen feet In height and forty
five feet in circumference, being cast
Of solid bronze. This is one Of eight
monster bells that were cast by COM
mand of the Emperor Yung Lo about
A. D. 14Oo. 1t is said to have cost the
lives of eight men. who were killed in
the process of casting. The whole bell
on both sides Is covered with an in
scription in embossed Chinese char
acters about half an inch in length,
covering even the top piece from
which it swings, the total number be-
ing $4,000. These characters tell a sin
gle story, one Of the Chinese classics.

timated by the county officials. The

Trees In ORANGES,

The Mundus. weekly published in
Rome in FIVE languages. states that
one OF the methods adopted by the
japanese to produce their curious
dwarf trees is as follows: The pulp OF
an orange is removed through Il small
hole and the skin filed with a mix
ture of wool, charcoal and rich earth.
with one seed toward the opening in
the skin. The orange is put in glass
and watered l,y the hole, and every
now and then a little wood ash is
added. The plant shoots through the
opening, and the roots pierce the skin.
As soon as they do so they are cut off.
After two or three years of this treat
ment the plant will be only a few
inches high. but will hare tho aspect

CHECKS PETTY GRAFT
Board of Works Refuses to
Pay Twenty-Five Cents.

The petty graft of several large
companies selling the city depart
ments supplies, is TO be eliminated.
The board of works this morning re-
fused to allow bill OF $27.S9 due the
Fostoria Glass company for electric
light plant supplies, because in the
bill was incorporated a sum of twenty
five cents for notary public's fees. The
bills are sworn TO before notary
public before presentation.
The board explained that all large
companies have notary public in
their Offices. and that the twenty-five
cents is clear profit. The bill was al
! lowed after the twenty-five cents had
been subtracted from the bill.

HOW TO CARE FOR PLANTS.
Water Is Essential, but II Should Be
Used Carefully.

Water Is Essential, but II Should Be
Used Carefully.
Water is both food and drink to
plant life and should be given intel
ligently-that is. when the plant needs
it. There can be no hard and fast
rule laid down as to how often or how
much water to give plant. for condi-
tons vary Evaporation may be much
greater at one time than at another.
The best rule to follow for nearly all
plants. except ferns. is to give a
thorough drenching and then allow
the surface soil to become dry before
watering thor oughly again. Ferns re-
quire more water than most plants.
and the earth should never be allow
ed to become entirely dry.
Never water with very cold water.
Temper the water before pouring it
on to the plants so as not TO chill
them In growing plants in the house
one must try to carry out as far as
possible the conditions of green
housc-warm. moist air-and for this
reason n kettle of water should re-
main ut all times on the radiator, reg
lister - stove to keep the air moist
And not anisS to say that this is
a g, ;ani!ary precaution even if
there J.. no plants in the room, for
mos eur steam and furnace heated
city Uses and apartments are kept
far too hCt and dry for health.
Dust is an enemy to plant life.
Plants breathe through their leaves.
Therefore it is necessary TO keep them
free from dust. At least once Il week
and uftener if the room is very warm
or dusty the plants should be put in
the bathtub on their side and gently
sprinkled with a bath spray.
Remember that rain never falls upon
plant life at the temperature and force
It comes from a city hydrant. There
fore give them gentle shower, but
see that all parts of the leaves are
thoroughly washed. 1t is also a good
idea to spray the plants daily with Il
hand ltoriizer. If this is not accessi-
Bile whiskbroom dipped in water and
shaken over the plants answers the
same purpose and may even take the
place of the bath spray if used vigor-
ously and thoroughly.
Never water plant with the sun
shining upon it or put it in the sun
shine while the leaves are wet. The
best time for watering is early in the
morning or about sundown-
Some plants need watering twice a
day. but most plants require wetting
but once day and under certain con-
ditions not more than once in two or
days. 1t is best to judge by the
IONS of the soil.
,e household ammonia, we'll di.
IL, g. IL teaspoonful Of ammonia to a
half pint of water, poured on the earth
about once month is beneficial. but
remember it is only to be put ON the
soil and not on the leaves.
