such ideas. II your family had given

to spend, it would have been better
for you"
The boys, John Colver, twenty years
old, of 487 Hancock street, and Carl

avenue, had been indicted for stealing
money and jewelry from Adelaide Wis

the time they had reached the house
all were in state bordering on
frenzy.
The men then hurled themselves
into the room and danced madly in

great fists and yelling frightfully.
With tears streaming they threw
themselves on the mummv corpse, al

the mother and sisters in the back

forbidden and has fallen into disuse

By WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

A cement block house Is feet long
by 81 feet wide, including the porches.
Is given In this plan. The first ce-
ment block houses were expensive and
unsatisfactory, because no one knew
how to make the blocks or how to
avoid the many little difficulties that
presented themselves. Mechanical In
genuity, however, and our acquired
knowledge of mixing cements, gravel,
broken stone, and cinders, with I'M
proved block-naking machines, have
simplified matters until it is now
quite possible to build better house
of cement, for less money, than the
ordinary wooden houses cost.
OF course there are many side is
sues which affect this general state
ment. In some parts Of the country,
the right kind of sand and stone is
abundant; in other places it must be
brought from a distance. In cement
construction, one Of the greatest prob
lens is the cost Of teaming the heavy
materials necessary to make the
the block machine may be set down
on the lot on which the houses is to
be built, and the gravel or sand from
the cellar excavation used in the mix
ture that goes through the block ma
chine. In a case Of this kind, the
only teaming necessary Is for delivery
of the bags of cement, the millwork

ors, and with much better satisfaction
on both sides. It is an important
piece of work to start to build q
house that one expects to live in for
probably number of years; and it
pays well to read up, and know for
certain whether things are just as
others represent them or not
One point in making a cellar bot
tom that every one should know, is
the manner of leveling the ground.
A cellar bottom usually is not put
in until after the frst-floor joists are
in place. The joists, of course, are
level; and 1t is easy to level the cellar
bottom to the joists by using a meas
uring stick of the proper length; but
the floor should be lower in one cor
ner, enough to drain readily. Every
cement cellar bottom should have a
drain to carry off the water when the
cellar is being cleaned. A clean cellar
is necessary for health; and If pro-
vision is made for easy washing when
the cellar Is built, the cleaning will
be done much oftener than it will be
If this precaution is neglected.
Another point that should be re-
membered is the cement top surface,
which should be about three-quarters
of an inch thick, composed of cement.
one part to three parts clean, sharp
sand. first thoroughly mixed dry, then
thoroughly mixed wet, enough so that
water will follow the trowel in
smoothing This coat should be put
on the concrete foundation while the
concrete Is still damp; otherwise it
may not stick properly, and you will
have floor that sounds hollow.
Another point in cement construc-
ton is the opportunity to make the
cellar window stills of cement, and to
imbed the frames thoroughly and
carefully In the wall In the northern
parts Of the country, where the cold
is extreme, this precaution will help
a great deal in making frost-proof
cellar.
