again, with disastrous results. But one
does not need good materials and
well-drawn plans combined with good
taste; and good materials command a
price.
Now, every man who can possibly do
SO should build home. 1t is the nor
NAL aspiration Of the normal man; but
the purpose of these remarks is to en-
able him to go about the enterprise,
not with the notion that he will get
his home for little or nothing. He will
pay the price; and, having done SO. he
will be contented when he possesses
a well-built home. Building materials
are high in price now, and will remain
so. If any man intends to build q
home, he may as well begin now. for
materials will be no cheaper.

this to be an error. What is true of
men is also true of women; they are,
with one exception in fifty, cark haired
and dark hued. 1t is sometimes the
case that the hair turns white with in
sanity. Probably the error arose from
this fact. The reason why dark people
are more inclined to mental disorder
has not been explained.

HELD REPReoF IN MEMORY
Gliding to Child, That Seemed Un-
kind, Later Nervcd Man to
Deed of Heroisrn.

DR.. Keate, the terrible head master
Of Elton, encountered one winter
morning a small boy crying miser-
ably, and asked him what was the
matter. The child replied that he
was cold. "Cold." roared Keate, You
must put up with cold, sir! You are
not at a girls school"
1t is a horrid anecdote, and | am
kind-hearted enough to wish that DIR.
Keate, who was not without his gen
ial moods, had taken the lad to some
generous fire (presuming such a thing
was to be found and had warmed his
frozeni hands and feet. But it so
chanced that in that little sniveling
boy there lurked spark of pride and
spark of fun, and both ignited at
the rough touch of the master. He
probably stopped crying, and he GER
tainly remembered the sharp appeal
to manhood; for fifteen years later,
with the Third dragons, he charged
at the strongly intrenche Sikhs
(S0,o0O of the best fighting men OF
the Khalsa) on the curving banks of
the Sutlej. And as the word was Civ
en- he turned to his superior officer,
fellow Stonian, who was scanning
the stout walls and the belching guns.
"As old Keate would say, this is no
girls school," he chuckled, and rode

braon, which gave Lahore to Eng
land.-Agnes Repplier, in the Atlantic.

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF

subject of building, for the readers OF this
paper. On account of his wide experience

The one subject on the mind of ey-
eryone these days is the high cost OF
living. and that leads US to remark
that there are singular ideas current
on the subject of the cost of home
building. 1t is not strange that this
should be SO. For the bizarre and the
eccentric invariably attract attention
that the orderly and the sedate may
not receive. Perhaps the most singu-
lar Of all notions with regard to the
cost of house, is that beautiful home
can be acquired at the most moderate
conceivable cost, If one did but know
how to do it. Doubtless we would all

is the fact that the conditions under

1t is curious fact in psychology
that nobody can stay at the same
mental and physical level for twenty
four hours together. In the morning
you are more matter-of-fact, for in
stance, than later in the day.
1t is in the morning that the best
brainwork is done, too-brainwork of
the sort that requires industry and
clear thinking. And it is about eleven
in the morning that your body reaches
its highest point of energy. In other
words, you are stronger, though al
most lmperceptibly, at eleven in the
morning than at three in the after
noon. You reach that highest point
twice in the day, for about five in
