A MODEL BUNGALOW.

MIR. }. l., Swiuk is just finishing
on a street what he calls his Cali
! fnruia bungalow, of which he is both
architect and builder. 1t is an
eight-room cottage. including the
bath room, and is certainly model
of its kind.
What strikes one as he approaches
II is the massive front porch, "a feet
long and 10 feet deep, with its solid
square columns, all constructed,
even to the floor, OF concrete. From
this one enters "A wide door into
the Giving" room, which Is ~ bv
II feet, one of the features of which
is an artistic brick mantel piece and
CRATE. On the right Is Il "den, ="
against one wall Of which is con.
structcd solid oak cabinet, contain.
ing writing desk and brass folding
bed. Back of the living room is the
dining room, separated from 1t Ivy
two handsome solid oak book cases
with passage way between them.
Across one wall of the dining room
is solid oak buffet. The walls and
ceilings are white, relieved by solid
oak wainEc0ttIng and beams along
the ceiling, all in dark antique. The
hoprs OF all three of these rooms are
OF oak, sandpapered rs smooth as
glass.
There are four sleepingapnftme

aud side of which are row of win.
dows so arranged as To he lowered

1t practically an open porch The |

closets and shelves for every con |
cetvable thing used in the kitchen.
and there is "A kitchen porch Il bv : |

ready for the heater, and IA com
modins garret, are two more i'm.
pOrtant features.
The finish throughout, especially
III til" living and dining rooms and
the den, is like the best cabinet
work. We asked Mr.. Swink what
the huilding would cost. and he
smilingly replied that he wouldn't
know until 1t was completed, that he
placed no limit on it for fear he
might he tempted to slight it here
and there In order to bring ii within
that limit; but 1t Is certainly
model little structure, many OF the
beautiful features OF which we have
not been able to mention In this
brief description.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
FROM ACCIDENTAL DEATH

Little Joe Swink, youngest child
Of Judge and Mrs. +. f. Swink, me,
with bad accident last Sunday
morning, and 1t appears almost like
miracle that he was not crushed
TO death. Sunday school at the
Christian Church had been dismissed
and the children were passing out =.
When he was just outside the door
the trap or covering of the hatchway
Of the belfry, on which some work
was being done, was in some way
dislodged from where it bad been
temporarily placed, and fell, striking
Joe on the head, knocking him un.
and cutting cash through
the scalp. The trap was made of
heavy wood covered with tin and
weighs 80 or 40 pounds, and 1t is
certainly wonderful that the life was
not crushed out of the little fellow.
He was placed in an automobile and
hurried to DIR. Robinson's office.
An examination showed that the
skull was not fractured, but there
was an ugly scalp wound and evil
IDENTIFY concGssion of the brain.
His injuries were dressed and he
was taken home. We are glad to
say that little Joe is getting along
nicely and that no serious conse
luences are likely to follow.

Record in Fletcherinp.

London Chronicle: If they learn the
art of chewing, even people whose
food expenditure is only Sd a day
can make their meals last a long
time. A chewer, according to dietetlc
experts, is one who chews all things
so long as they have taste left in
them. Gladstone, we are told, used
to take thirty-two bites to every
mouthful of food. The modern school
of chewers would consider this as
dangerously rapid chewing. 81 have
tried chewing conscientiously," writes
Mr.. Eustace Miles. "a banana has
cost 800 bites, small mouthful of
bread and cheese 24O bites, a greedy
mouthful Of biscuit (while l was
walking on Yorkshire moor) over
1000 bites. 1t still seemed to taste
about as much as at first; but I
knew that taste by then, so swal-
lowed"

The English Breakfast.

Baltimore News: 1t is reported
from London that a recent attempt
to introduce grape fruit as a break
fast food had failed and that heavy
importation of those delicacies has
caused such slump in the markets
that costermongers are selling them
from barrows for a penny apiece.
This will surprise no one who has
ever lived in England. That country
has known many changes during the
last few years. Castle lines have been
obliterated; the silk hat is no longer
an object of reverential worship:
actors have been knighted and bands
introduced into restaurants. But the
breakfast table is the last ditch Of
British conservatism. The English
man eats bacon and eggs 1865 morn
ings out of the year, and welcomes d
leap year because it enables him to
indulge in that delightful dish 365
times.
The monarchy may be abolished
and the Shouse of lords deprived of
its prerogatives, but the English
breakfast will remain as it was in
the days of the Conqueror. Grape
fruit will never have a place in it.

Rumors of Insurgents Keep Federals
on Toes

Calexico Chronicle: Rumors have
been prevalent for the past few days
that large number of Constitutional
lists have again gathered upon the
lands of the northern section of Low
er California and are threatening
Mexicali with attack. The Federal
garrison at Mexicali has had men in
the field for several days, under the
command Of Major Cantu. Friday
report, which could not be verified,
was out that battle had been fought
and seventeen Federals killed. This
rumor was at once denied by Lieut..
Col Augustin Llaguno, who sent word
to the Chronicle as his official state
ment, that the report was entirely
false. Major Cantu had sent word
back to the garrison that up to that
eAiiiC iic idu liOl HleC Will d Single
man, who was hostile to the govern
ment, while out on his scouting trip.
Major Cantu had left Mexicali few
days previous with seventy-five men
for the purpose of investigating re-
ports which had stated that the Con-
stitutionalists had again taken the
field.
On the other hand it is learned that
sympathizers with the cause Of the
Constitutionalists are of the belief
that their men are active and not far
away, which would lead to the belief
that Mexicali is in danger of an at
tack at no distant date

An Optical Illusion.

Newark News: The moons larger
appearance when near the horizon,
as compared with its size At the
zenith is really an optical Illusion
and accurate angular measurements
have shown that it is actually trife
smaller when low down, as it should
be on account of being a little more
distant
Adding new attempt at explana-
ton, DR.. NJ Ponzo, an Italian psy.
chologist, compares this with an allu-
sion already represented by E. I.
Sanford, another psychologist Two
straight lines are brought together
at an acute angle at one end, two
exactly equal circles being then drayn
between the lines, when the circle
near the appex apepars decidedly lar
ger, but the illusion lessons as the
angle is made less accurate.
AS the celestial bodies near the hor-
izon they appear in the angle formed
by the earth and the declining arc
of the sky. The conditions are just
those of the artificial lines and cir
cles and it's enlargement in the mar
rowing angle is contrast the moon
conspicuously brings out as compared
with the spectacle it presents in the
free sky.
The fact that the apparent enlarge
ment is not always the same may
be due to the changes in the angle
by clouds or vapors.

COCHIN is FAVORlTE BREED
Four Varieties, Each Having Single
Combs and Differing Only In
Point of Plumage Color.

The question is frequently asked,
what is the best breed of chickens!
The answer depends entirely upon
what purpose you wish them for, and
can be answered best by yourself.
The larger birds are intended as
combination fowl, 1. e., to produce
both eggs and meat in desirable guam
titles, while the smaller and more ac-
tive breeds are considered the egg
machines, and many breeders of them
claim excellent table qualities fos
them, which no doubt they possess,
the only objection being their small
size.
The Cochin is an old and popular
breed and has four varieties, each
having single combs, and differing
only in point of plumage color. which
is: Buff, partridge. black and white,
the buff being the preference. Their
weights are: Cocks, II pounds; cock
erels, 9; hens, S1a; pullets, 7.
The other varieties in this class
are: The Langshans, black and white.
