Besides leading both upstairs and
down, 1t gives grade entrance to
the cellar, side entrance to the
kitchen, and it takes UP very little
room
Downstairs the main feature is the
dining room, which is large enough to
make comfortable sitting room; and
it is especially attractive on account
of the three windows and the CRATE.
Where a chimney can be SO placed
as to accommodate the furnace in the
cellar, the range in the kitchen and
the CRATE in the dining room. you get
large amount of comfort and salts
faction with comparatively little ex-
pense. Other advantages in chin
ney like this are that it usually draws
better; it climbs out into the upper air
through the peak of the roof, where IT
is better supported by the house and
where it is easier to fix the roof
around it so that it will not leak. Still
another advantage is the additional
height which insures a better draft
Chimneys like this draw better fossa
another reason-they are surrounded
by warm rooms, and the fiues are
easily heated. Hot air naturally goes
up; SO the ordinary cold draft of the
chimney is increased by this naturai
phenomenon. All you have to do to
have things right. is to follow natural
laws and take advantage Of them TO

The Sergeant walked over to the
fire, and stared down into the red en-
bers, striving to control himself. He
realized the truth of all Hughes said,
and yet had to fight fiercely his incli-
nation to hasten to her rescue. The
very thought Of her alone in those
ruthless hands was torture. There was
no selfishness in the mant heart. no
hope of winning this girl for himself,
yet he knew now that he loved her;
that for him she was the one woman
in all the world. Her face was in his
memory; the very soughing OF the
wind seemed her voice calling him. But
the real man in him-the plainsman
conquered the impetuosity
of the lover. There must be no mis-

Iron with Their Feet.

One of the most curious sights which
I beheld In Cairo was men ironing with
their feet, says a writer in the Wide
World Magazine. They had not been
mixing their drinks. 1t is simply Il
custom of the country. These men
were employed in the native tailoring
establishments. Except for long
iron handle, the Irons were shaped like
the ordinary fatiron. only larger. A
solid block of wood rested on the top
Of the iron. and on this the men placed
one foot, guiding the iron in the direc-
ton desired by means Of the handle.
For the sake of convenience the iron
Ing boards were raised only u few
inches above the ground. The men
ironed with great rapidity, and, how
ever strange the method may seem to
our ideas, it certainly does the work
very well and expeditiOusly.
