Ancient Buildings OF England Be-
ing Pulled Down.
Houses That Have Stood for Hundreds
Of Years to Be Done Away With
and "Jerry-Buiit M~onstrosities"
to Take Their Places.

London.-Now that an epidemic
if it has not already started, Of pull
ing down old cottages which have
stood for hundreds of years and re-
placing them, it is to be feared at
public expense, by jerry-built mon
strosities, it is Of urgent Importance
Life, to put on record the aspect and
arrangements OF the old buildings
about to be destroyed.
The earliest existing type of cottage
in England has been admirably de-
scribed by Mr.. Sidney Oldall Addy in
his invaluable book, The Evolution
Of the English House" Unfortunately
hat work lacks the profuse illustra.
ton it so we'll deserves, and the lack
is especially felt in respect to this
historically most important of all the
types. Cottages, he says, of the ear
lier type are still found in Gloucester
shire, are common in Yorkshire and
Lancashire, and are doubtless to be
found in every English county In
this, l think, he is mistaken, for | can
find none Of the type in question in
Kent or whereabouts, nor have | been
able to get a photograph of from
anywhere.

fer to the book for a full explanation
of the term and the reasons in an.
cient architecture for the dimensions of
a bay" The principle of construc.
ton of the house Of one bay was sim
pie. Two pairs Of bent trees, in form
resembling the lancet-shaped arches
of a Gothic church, were set up on
the ground, and united at their apexes
by q ridge tree. The framework so
set up was strengthened by two tie
beams and four wind-braces, and was
fastened together by wooden pegs.
The bent trees or arches were placed
at a distance of about 16 feet apart,
and the space included between them
was known as a bay"
These pairs of bent trees are
forks" lin Latin f~urcae) or they were
called 'gavels," or "gavelforks"
thence the word "gable"). Nowadays
they are called 'croks,' "crucks" or
"c%rutches." Thus a cottage or barn
is said TO be built on crucks." Where

Colorado Wins Dry Farm Prize.

Denver. - Governor AmmOnS re-
turned to Denver elated at the show
ing made by Colorado at the 1nterna-
tional Dry Farming congress held in
Wichita, Kan. Although Colorado's
exhibit was prepared hurriedly 1t
easily surpassed those of all visiting
states and was awarded second prize,
Kansas, which had twenty-five coun-
ty exhibits, taking first. Many West
ern states were represented, and
states as far south as Louisiana sent
exhibits. Governor Ammons was the
only visiting governor on Governors
day, but many of the state executives
sent representatives. The sentiment
in the congress now, according to the
governor, is strongly in favor of hold
ing the next meeting of the congress
in Denver. Other cities are after the
congress, however. Governor Hodges.
in his welcoming speech, urged the
Colorado executive to come to Kansas
to live, extolling the virtues of the
latter state. Replying at the opening
of his address on "Co-Operation or
Western states" Governor Ammons
said: with Billy Sunday trying to
run all the liquor out of Colorado. and
Kansas trying to get the courts to
award her Colorado's water, 1t looks
as though might be driven to leave
my state for lack OF something to
drink"

A very good way for dressing thin
hair has been devised with the aid OF
a small hair roll or supports of crepe

night. When it is combed out in the
morning the stray straight ends are
cured about the face with the curling
iron.

dour 1t is tied at the back rather
low on the crown and separated into
four or five strands. These are rolled
into puffs and pinned across the back
of the head.
Thin hair is rather difficult to keep
in place and a hair net is brought
over this coiffure and fastened in
many places with invisible pins. 1t
| is left very loose across the fore
head when the hair is arranged in
short side part, dip, or in any line
about the face that best becomes the
wearer In this style no extra pieces
of hair are used, but the hair roll as
a support is an essential. The Golf
fure will not be a success without it.

THIRTEEN COUNTIES PROTEST.
Ask Board Of Equalization for Relief
From Raises Made by Tax Com
mission

From Raises Made by Tax Com
mission.
Denver-Commissio and attor-
neys for thirteen of the twenty-four
counties OF the state whose aggregate
assessed valuations were raised by
the State Tax. Commission appeared
before the State Board of Equalization
in the governors office and protested
against the increases.
Counties represented and the
amounts Of the increases are: Ell
Paso. $953.640; Rio Grande, $1,170.-
200; Denver. $90,S77,050; Fremont.
s1.6s0,4 400; Bent, s1,110.000; Montross
1885, 700; Larimer, $1,943.300: Grand,
$3,330.s70; Alamosa, $1,016,00O; Phil
lips, $951,670; Saguache, $2.750,O00
The aggregate increase ordered by
the tax commission is $135,054.175.
In considering these cases Attorney
General Farrar made the ruling for
the board that under the Lothrop de-
cision by the State Supreme Court,
upheld by that court in the Pitcher
case year ago, the aggregate state
assessed valuation as fixed by the tax
commission is final and that the state
Board of Equalization has authority
only to equalize between counties.
Thus, he said. if any reduction in as
sessment is made for one county the
same amount must be added to the
assessed valuation of one or more
counties the board may deem to be
assessed too low.
Exception to this ruling was taken
by several of the attorneys present,
but 1t was announced that the board
would stand back of this ruling, sup
ported as it is by decisions of the
State Supreme Court.

a becoming coiffure is shown in

one of the easiest to arrange. To

into a soft knot or puff at this posi-
ton.
The hair at the center of the fore
head is combed back, but SO loosely
confined that a strand is brought
down over the forehead and pinned
with small wire pins so that it forms
soft, light puff in this position.
In order to make the hair at the
sides stand out softly from the face
it is to be supported by small pads
of crepe hair or very short and small
hair rolls, 1t can be kept in position
by "fuffing" it; but this process in
jures the hair finally and it is much
better to use the supports, which are
very light and easily pinned in.
