Worth of a Caxton.

The London Times, discussing the
sale of the duke of Deyonshire's IL
brary, says it would be unreasonable
to raise an outcry on the part of the
people, most of whom have never han
died a Caxton.
The books, the Times continues
will be just as we'll cared for by an
American as by British owner. They
have never been in any sense national
property, and their sale therefore can
not concern anybody but the principals
to the transaction. "Caxton's books
have not spiritual value nor any
value as works Of art which may be
compared to that Of great pictures,
When a Rembrandt perishes by fire
the world is spiritually poorer, but by
the destruction of library of Caxtons
the world loses little beyond a rarity
When a number OF Ca1tons are merely
transported from one side of the globe
to the other nobody loses anything.

1t makes no difference to furnace

that some pipes carry hot air better

Mr. William A. Radtord WITH answer
questions and give advice FREE w.
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers OF this
paper On account of his wide experience

on all these subjects. Address all inquiries

enclose two-cent stamp for reply.
One of the most comfortable little
cottage houses ever built is shown
in this design. When you come to
corral all the necessary modern i'm
provements and fit them into a little
house only twenty feet in width aud
thirty feet in length you have quite
job on your hands; but that is exactly
what has been done in designing this
little five room cottage. Bungalow"
some people would call 1t, because the
word bungalow is very fashionable
just now, but a bungalow properly
speaking is one story house with a
fat, or at least low roof.
1t often happens that a family is
very anxious to own home and they
find houses and lots so expensive that
after looking around for several
months they are obliged to give it up,
at any rate for the time being. 1t is
to meet just such cases that recon-
mend such small low cost houses as
this.
Americans as rule have rather
large ideas in regard to dwellings. AS
a usual thing we want large rooms and
plenty of them, but find that public
opinion is passing through a change
and it has been brought about largely
through the influence Of city flats,
many of which contain little con-
veniences that are not common in
houses.
Taxes in larger cities are double
what they were ten or twenty years
ago. Skilled mechanics get four or
| five dollars a day where formerly they
got two or three dollars; and the
same scale of expense follows through
all the different departments Of build
ing. The result Is that architects have
learned how to work the necessaries
| from comfort into very small compass.

could see the lines and each time re-
