study out for yourself the peculiari-
ties Of soil, location and exposure. 1t
the soil Is inclined to dampness, have
course Of 3-lnch tile laid all around
the bottom, outside of the wall. with
an outlet at sufficient distance. The
outlet may be simply sink-hole filled
with stone; but 1t must be lower than
the cellar bottom, and give good OPP
portunity for any water that may ac-
cumulate to get away easily. If tho
ground Is very damp, have another
course Of tile about two feet above or
halfway towards the surface.
The use of cement mortar is a great
preventive against dampness in the
cellar. and the way the cellar floor Ia
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 Is desirable to have the back
end Of the cellar dry. and the front
part somewhat moist for fruit and
vegetables; but this depends upon

Until recently the idea Of hot and cold

Any stranger who goes to life-sav-
ing station and appears to be decent
citizen can have board and lodging
and he isn't asked to pay, either. That
part of the bargain is Left to himself.
Even If he does pay he won't be al
lowed to tax himself more than the
cost price of everything. This is not
said unknowingly; it Is fact. The
life-savers of the Long Island coast
have a code Of hospitality as rigid as
the American Indians.
They are of the purest American
stock, often with strong vein of old
Dutch blood from the colony an
Sayville. In most cases they have fol-
lowed the sea from father to son for
from four to six generations. One is
almost inclined to believe that they
are born leather-skinned and able to
pull the heavy fourteen-foot ash
sweeps that row the surfboats and
"self-bailers." Some of the Long
Island fishing families have estab-
lished enviable regulations for them
selves in the service. Take the Rhodes
family, the Bakers, the Reynoldses,
the Raynors, the Seamans and many
others. They have all furnished at
least one hero.
Captain Baker of the Point O. Woods
station has two sons in the service.
The Oldest, Eddy, is No. 1 man at
Point O. Woods; the second, Wally, is
at Blue Point, and the youngest, Sim
my, is already on the eligible list for
appointment at Lone Hill. They are

after all? These youngsters lead cour-

Eddy Baker, who bossed the job
in his fathers absence when the An
tonic Lopez came ashore near Point
O. Woods two summers ago, and went
out to her with a scratch crew of cot
tagers and bay men, was once invited
to spend week in town with some of
these same cottagers, who had taken
a fancy to his strong, simple nature.
He was so dismayed by the confusion
of civilization that he lost himself at

Small Girls Excellent Reasons for
Wishing She Might Be Hen, II
Only on Occasional Sunday.

Out back OF the house, on a grassy
bank overlooking the chicken yard,
sat Miss Thung and Margaret last
Sunday. They were absorbed espe-
cially Margaret, in watching the
chickens.
"They scratch just the same on Sun
day." observed Margaret refiectively,
"as they do on weekdays. It's wicked,
'spose."
ooh, no, it isn't wicked" objected
Miss Thung.
my mother says that 'musment on
Sunday is bad for the SOUL" remarked
Margaret. But chickens are not like
little boys and girls, are they?" she
questioned with baby sigh.
mo, they are quite different"
"They haven't got a soul. have
they?" pursued the child.

Margaret paused long and reflect
lively. y wish I was a hen" she said
at last with decision.

An Accepted Invitation.

the nineteenth century, M. G. Saphir.
was as ready with his tongue as with
his pen, as the following anecdote
will show: Among his friends was o
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 particularly poor and
scanty dinner. Nine. Lammel asked
her guest:
And when, my dear Saphir. would
you dine with me again?"
Saphir heaved a hungry sigh. "AV

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF

The bungalow or single-story type
Of dwelling house has some special
advantages and is coming into increas-
ing favor. A cottage home of this
type, 25 feet wide by 48 feet 6 inches
long, Is illustrated herewith. It is
built without an attic. which saves
expense in roof construction; and tho
low roof design fits the general style
of the house better than a high roof
could. 1t is small affair when meas
ured up against the ordinary house;
but 1t contains more room and more
conveniences than the orthodox five-
room fiat In city, and is immensely
superior when 1t comes to comfort.
A person never appreciates the
value OF good cellar until he leaves
house that has one, and goes to live
In a city fiat where there is no cellar
except an ice-box, and no room to
store a pint Of cider or peck of pota-
toes. The house here shown Is much
better arranged than a fiat, because
you have light on all sides, and the
bedrooms, as we'll as all other rooms,
are light and airy-a great advantage
In both comfort and health. BE 1t
ever so humble, there's no place like
home" Is sentiment that applies in
a general way to all small houses, but
not especially to this one, because It
is 80 attractive in appearance, 80
thoroughly we'll arranged, and so com.
Portable that the humble features are
lost sight Of entirely.
A good deal in house depends on
the layout or shape of the cellar. Many
cellars are almost useless except to
keep the house up away from the
ground, to keep 1t dry, and to assist
to some extent in keeping the lower
floors warm Some cellars are too
dark and musty to be desirable, and
great many cellars are too contempt
IDLY dirty for any purpose whatever.
Much depends on the shape of the cell
lar to commence with, but more de-
ponds on the manner in which It is
built and the care 1t afterwards re-

Everybody knows everybody else.
And the everybodies aren't so thick

right I can't see how anybody likes
to live In the city. Why, think of the
breakers and the fights we have with
them. Do you have anything like that
In the city? No, sir; | guess not"
The fact is, these men do not mind
the dangers and privations they un-
dergo. They are nerveless, or prac.
