Short Session Of Council.

The shortest session which the city
council has held for many moons was
that of last evening. the cause lying
in the fact that Christmas eve and
the departure of Councilman Cole for
the east kept four of the eight MEM
bers away. This left an insufficient
number present to pass the two or
dinances introduced. One was to au-
thorize the issuance of bonds equal
to the unpaid assessments for the i'm
provement of Water, Vincent and
Lewis streets. aggregating $6,939.60.
The other was for the changing of
the name of Star and Blaine streets
to Matlock street. The only real
business transacted was the return
ing of 500 to Stangier & Molitor as
a refund on their liquor license fee,
they having disposed Of their busi-
ness before it expired, and the pay
ment of interest to the American Ma
tional bank. The session closed be-
fore o'clock.

An attractive design for a six
roomed house of one and a half sto-

ures, is shown in the accompanying
perspective and plans. 1t is not very
large; but fortunately, small low-cost
houses often have advantages over
larger ones. Three of these advan-
tages are light, sunshine, and air. In
q small house. opposite windows are
necessarily near together; and the
light from one often crosses that of
another, although they may be in diff
ferent rooms. Sunshine, Of course,
carries light, and it carries life-giving
properties besides. Light, airy houses
are almost always healthful and cheer

pied, while dark, dismal houses often
go begging for tenants. In this design
there are three rooms downstairs and
three rooms upstairs, and they are
arranged to provide a great deal of
comfort and convenience.
When a man starts to build a house,
he usually has some particular ideas
in mind that he wishes to have
worked into the plan. Very often
these are not practical They have
