MADE A PART OF ONES LIFE
Mans House, First Consisting Of Only
Four Walls, Rapidly Creates an
Atmosphere Of Its Own.

Houses are curious things. We take
a morsel Of illimitable space and wall
1t In and roof 1t over. Suddenly It
ceases to be part Of Gods out of doors
and becomes an entity with an atmos-
phere Of its own. We warm 1t with
our fires, we animate It with our af-
fections, we furnish 1t with such
things as seem good in our eyes. We
do this to get shelter for our bodies,
but we acquire as well an instrument
for our spirits that reacts ON us in its
turn.
In other words, as we live our way
into q house. adapting 1t to our need,
the bricks and mortar, the paint and
plaster, cease to be inert matter and
become alive. Superficial sociOlogists

You Can Conquer II.

1t is claimed that the nervous ex-
haustion produced by hours OF sus-
tanned and monotonous labor sends
the factory girl into the streets at
night, writes Agnes ReppIier in the
Atlantic. She is too unstrung for rest.
That this is in measure true no ex-
perienced worker will deny, because
every experienced worker is familiar
with the sensation. Every woman who
has toiled for hours. whether with a
sewing machine or a typewriter.
whether with a needle or pen,
whether in an once or at home, has
felt the nervous fatigue which does
not crave rest but distraction, which
makes her want to go" Every wo-
man worth her salt has overcome this
weakness, has fostered this desire II
Is probable that many men suffer and
struggle in the same fashion. DR.
Johnson certainly did With inspired
directness he speaks OF people who
are afraid to go home and think"
He knew that fear. Many a night 1t
drove him through the London streets
till daybreak. He conquered It, con-

but few-very few. An anectAtion,
not too patent, a pose, Q pretenSS OF
greatness. next to greatness itself,
makes the best impression upon the
general run Of people. 1t takes a lit
tie greatness itself to distinguish true
greatness. That iS why the really
great are frequently not recognized
until after their death. But when a
man, by his manner, insists that he Is
great, the world generally takes him
at his own estimate. and accords him
the honors Of greatness.
The man who poses as righteous
obtains a reputation for righteousness.
Whether he really deserves 1t usually
does not matter. The man who poses
as profound obtains reputation for
prUfundity. He may be as shallow as
a rivulet, but the pose Is apt to create
the impression he seeks to convey. We
all know the man who utteru com.

the great orator, with the air Of an
oracle. arrogating to himself the hon
ors Of original discovery. We all
know the impressive appearance and
rotund defamation which often give
public men. lawyers. lecturers and
other forensic speakers vast reputa-
tions which the product OF their brains
utterly fails to justify.

quarters, and are taking this means
of providing themselves with good,
sensible homes at 4 reasonable out
lay.
The original bungalow roof was low
and broad; but, in order to get more
sleeping accommodation. the ridge
was raised just enough at nrst to get
one room above the ground floor.
Builders, however, have repeatedly
pushed 1t up higher, until now we see
a good many houses built very much
after this plan, with as many as
three bedrooms in the roof.
1t costs but little more to build a
seven or eight-roomed house in this
way than to build a f1ve-roomed house
with the rooms all on one level Tie
rafters, of course, are longer. and 1t
takes more shingles; but the work on
the roof is not much different, and
so far as the inside Is concerned, you
simply add the finishing up of the ex-
ira rooms. The foundation is no
larger; and the only addition on the
first noor is the stairway, which, in
this case, is built in and closed with
a door at the bottom. You seldom,
in fact, see an open stairway in a
bungalow house. 1t seems to be out

Trees Have Eyes and See.

A German scientist-it is amazing
that nearly all the amazing things
come from German scientists-says
he has discovered that trees have
eyes and see. Not only trees, but all
vegetable life; the grass. the orchid.
the onion. the ragweed and the Easter
lily.
The epidermic cells of the leaves,
according to this German discoverer.

which record visual impressions much
as do the facets Of an insects eye. He

This house plan gives an opportun-

from India, although a great many
architects claim that the modern
bungalow Is really the outgrowth Of
the log cabins and the sod and adobe

architectural ideas could be traced
back to all these sources. The result
is that we have a very comfortable,
