and often serious illness.

the drastic cathartic and purga-

A House Built in a Day.
Ill., o
From the Strand.

The remarkable feat of building q
house in a day was recently accom-
plished at Hamilton, Ontario. The
first sod was turned at 5 p. m. and
the building when seen five hours later
was already up to within a few feet
of the second story, n the brickwork
could be seen to grow steadily under
the efforts of a small army of brick
layers. The house contains nine rooms
and is of two stories, and every de-
tail of steam fitting, finishing, plumb
ing and furnishing vas ready within
exactly "a hours after the turning of
the first sod. 1t was possible for a
family to have walked in and lived
there without anything further being
required except getting in provisions.
AS the workmen were at work all
night, powerful arc lights were strung
on poles around the building. There
were between 900 and 400 mon at
work at midnight, the carpentering
going on simultaneously with the
bricklaying. The foundations are OF
concrete blocks, and the brickwork is
exceptionally neavy. The interior
walls are covered in the regular way
with lathS and plaster, the heating is
by hot water and the finishings, in
Guiding h floors, are of hard wood.
dining room is paneled in oak,
with oak beams in the ceiling. One
of the most difficult problems was to
get n plaster which would harden
quickly enough, III this was success
fully overcome. The house was given
aWay to the person guessing the num-
Der OF beans in a bottle on the grounds
where the house was built.

Know Your Children!
From the Century.

Our trouble is not that We do not
care. but that racially we are more
inclined to act thar to think. There is
only n comprehensive rule for bring
ing up children. and that is that we
must honestly rack our reluctant minds
until they give us back something Of
u forgotten cmotions; that we must
give in measure as we expect to re-
ceive; that we must acknowledge the
child's mind and emotions to resemble
our w in scarcely limited counter
part. Subjective teaching is the My
teaching worth While. and sympathy
the only kind of love which will buy
US the best. Children learn most by
example, and they throw open the doors
of their hearts to those who have
shown them that their hearts have
doors. The old quarrel is the most
wasteful and unnecessary one. 1t is
human to desire some friendship. and
those Of us who have children, and in
whom the desire is strong. may really
know at least n OF two men and
women a decade or sc from now.

In sections outside of the south it is al

No one will deny the poetry and beauty
Of the custom. 1t %testihes outwardly and

The people of the south. whether gath
cred in numbers or individually, are not
lacking in patriotic appreciation. History
testifies to that.
Why. then. do they not follow the Gus
tom SO prevalent elsewhere?
The explanation is very simple. The
school children of the north and west and
east are taught these small but import
ant things until their Observance becomes
intuit;ve. Reverence for the flag, as ex-
pressed outwardly, becomes a fixed habit
with the years. That is why in almost
any northern gathering you win see peo-
pie rise and stand uncovered when the
band plays the national anthem.
A similar process OF education should
spread this custom in Atlanta and through
at school. daily or several times a week,

Star Spangled Banner with proportions

stars and stripes a part of the nature OF

visible symbols takes on the nature. prac-
tically, of q duty.
