skyrocket will be appropriately sent
up into the air for you.
II Is AwufIIy Formal.
Everywhere there Is evidence OF
plenty of happiness and good cheer.
But when the occasion FOR the holiday
is in mind there seems to be present a
feeling of awful formality. "Oh, yes!
1t is the czarowitz's birthday; let's
give a cheer" appears to be the way
the celebration is carried out. OF spon-
taneous enthusiasm there is none. To
the American used to the exuberance
of a national holiday in his own coun-
try this seems a penny-in-the-slot
patriotism; you pay the money and
the machine hurrahs for you.
The one permanent feature OF Vladi-
vostok Is its ~changeability. AS a ter
minus Of a great railway, as a gateway
to Europe and as a military station OF
the first Importance its population Is
at best a transient one. Its virtues
and vices are those of a caravanserie
city. Money is quickly spent. Generos-
ity reaches out a helping hand on the
one side while greed lies in wait for
you on the other. With an Asiatic
population to do the scullery work, so
ciety, free and at leisure, sits on the
cafe veranda idly devising new ways
to put in the time.

would win a woman's affections. In
the first place, he must not be mean
with his money. His second virtue is
absence of personal vanity. Other re-
quirements follow thus: He must look
virile, he must not be a "lady's man"
or show himself familiar with ladies';
he must be careful in speech, taking
care to explain everything to which
he alludes; he must be quick in deci-
sion and be able to extricate himself
from the most difficult situations, and
he should have an ideal.

ance. The ideal man must leave to
woman the management Of all family
expenditure, and he must W (per.
haps as a natural %corollary) enter the
kitchen. Then the requirements reach
a higher ethical plane, and certainly
become more difficult of performance
He must never criticise a woman's
couture or dress; he must not spend
time telling women his o~n persona
tastes; he must not concern himself
at all with fe ninine questions. Ever
worse remains behind. BY some mys
terious power he must not, after sew
eral years intimate acquaintance, "be
come an object of disgust" From thi,
demand there is a descent to the com

rotations of sake; be must not be In

In some locations a house OF n
story and a half looks better than a
higher one. Some folks like to build
low houses and to make them wider.
There are all kinds of houses and all
sorts of people, so that everyone
should be satisfied. There is a com

ground, with the addition of two com
Portable porches.
This house should face the north.
Not every house plan is suitable for a
lot with a northern exposure. Gen.
orally speaking, a southern frontage is
preferred; but sometimes a northern
outlook is desirable. 1t is not possible
to face every house to the south, be-
cause there are not sites enough of
this kind to go around. There are
advantages in a northern exposure,
with a house built like this. which Off
set some of the disadvantages. The
parlor, library and downstairs bed
room could get the east sun in the
morning. The kitchen would be bright
and cheerful while the work is going
on in the forenoon, and the dining
o would be pleasant in winter time
from ten or eleven o'clock in the morn
ing until night. The Railways, both up
stairs and down, could be spared for
the northern exposure, because hall
ways are not occupied except as pas
sageways.
There is an opportunity in this
house to put in two CRATES, one in the
library and one in the parior. A great
deal of attention is now being paid to
CRATES and mantels. Some new Cali
fornia CRATES are raised above the
floor of the room, set upon a sort OF
step or pedestal. The idea is that

Boy Nearly Loses Life.

Woonsocket.-George Anderson OF
Silver Creek township, a 7~-year-old
boy. was brought to the Woonsocket
hospital suffering from injuries in an
accident. Several children, including
the Anderson boy, dug a tunnel In a
sand bank near the Center school,
which they had attended. The An
derson boy crawled into the tunnel,
when it caved in, burying him alive.
His playmates secured shovels and
dug him out as quickly as possible,
thereby saving his life. He was un'
scious when brought to the surface
having been buried in the sand four
or five minutes.

Dead from Eating Matches.

White Lake.-As the result of eating
a quantity of match heads, the 2-year.
old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Carl
Moke, residing on a farm eight miles
south Of town, is dead. During the
early afternoon, while the attention
of the mother was directed elsewhere
by her household duties, the little girl
secured possession Of the matches.
She did not show any signs of illness
until about midnight. when her con-
dition became such that a physician
was summoned. However, the poison
had SO thoroughly i~mpregnated her
system that nothing could be done to
save her life.
