Two bedrooms and bathroom up
stairs make a very nice arrangement
for a family of two, and leave a spare
bedroom for use when required. The
bedroom downstairs may be made into
a library if so desired 1t is really
more appropriate for this purpose than
it is for a bedroom, if so wanted by
the family. Families are different;
their tastes and requirements are diff
ferent; what suits one would not suit
another; but this room would make
a very nice library or smoking den,
and that is what every man should
have. If he doesn't smoke, some of
his friends do; and most women object
to having tobacco smoke scattered
promiscuously through the house, and
they cannot be blamed for this obiec-

plastered outside, and the joints filed
and pointed with black mortar, which
gives the wall an attractive finish.
If the house faces the north, it would
be better to put the fruit room in the
front end Of the cellar The north
end is several degrees cooler than
the south end, and it is not necessary
to run furnace pipes past the partition
in the sitting room.
To reach the front bedroom, an up
stairs pipe may be placed on an in
cline through the wall partition. Such
little details must be looked after by
the owner. That bedroom upstairs
would be difficult to hea, rom a fur
mace. with the pipe Improperly laid.
There is a right and a wong way TO
put in furnace pipes, ana my expe-
rience is that the eye-of the owner IS
a little better than the eye Of the in
spector. In arranging furnace pipes,
it is a good plan to study the different
rooms before the building is started.
Almost as soon as the cellar wall is
built, you want your furnace pipes in
place. You want the hottest pipe in
the sitting room, and the next hottest
pipe in the bathroom.
The old-fashioned way Of heating a
house was to lead the biggest pipe to
the lower hall and let the air float up
stairs naturally; but natural condi-
tions cannot always be depended upon
to furnish good results. A good fur
mace man, if given plans before the
building is started, can lay out a sys-
TEN of pipes that will heat every
room without passing the air through
the front hall. There is another ex-
treme to this proposition; and that is
to keep the front hall shut of, and not
have any air carried in that direction.
This is as much Of a mistake as the
other. Ventilation is just as impor-
tant as heat, and you cannot have good
ventilation with the hallway shut OFF,

Umballa wiped his betelstained lips
and salaamed mockingly. Not so long
ago he had been attentive to this
young woman-after her marriage.
She had sent him about his business
with burning ears and a hot cheek,
made so by the contact Of her strong
young hand. Revenge, great or small
was always sweet to Umballa.
To the slave girl who attended
Pundita he said: Go summon the
queen. It is for her to decide what

Through the veil Pundita's eyes

When Kathlyn came in 1t was at

queens property, to dispose Of as she
willed. The veil was plucked from

Building house for a home is one
of the most interesting propositions
that a man can undertake, Every
married man expects to build a house,
and every single man hopes to do so
some time. II he don't he is not con-
structed on the right plan. II often

They do not want a large house-they
don't need it and they don't want the
care Of It; but, at the same time, IL
is only business to build in such a way
that the house may be sold If occa-
sion should require. But no matter
how small the house may be, a wom-
an wants the downstairs to appear
right She naturally takes pride in
having a wellarranged house neatly
furnished and we'll kept If the plan
suits her. she is perfectly happy in
working out the details.
In the plan here shown, only two
'rooms are finished upstairs. About
one-third Of the upper floor is left un-
finished, to be used as an attic store
room. This saves expense when build
ing. and the housewife has fewer
rooms to take care Of afterward Two

ton. The house means more to a
woman than it does to a man; and it
is her pride and ambition to have it
exactly right, and to have things as
nice and delicate as her keen sense
of propriety suggests.
The sitting room and dining room
in this plan are almost like one long
room. The archway may be fitted
with portieres or not. If portieres
are used and looped well back, the
view is not obstructed to any great
extent, and a company of a dozen or
two may comfortably occupy the two
rooms.
The general plan of this house is
what used to be called the Boston
style. 1t is rather after the long and
narrow order, being % feet wide and
3S feet long, exclusive of porches.
There are some advantages in a
house of this shape. You get more
light and better air. The rooms may
be placed to better advantage with
out using diagonal partitions. which
are Objectionable because they do not
leave nice corners in which to place
good pieces Of furniture. Every cor
ner in this house is square, except
at the bay windows; and nobody
wants square corner in a place Of
this kind. The display here is princi-
pally composed Of curtains, and a

1t is fairly convenient TO the kitchen.
The outside grade entrance to the
cellar is a great help. 1t gives an
easy entrance from the garden for
carrying things in and out without

ly how to appreciate. A long cellar

but gave 1t scant attention for the sim
pie fact that 1t had not been invited

The question of the habitability Of
Mars is one on which astronomers
differ greatly. The sole evidence in
favor of the existence of intelligent
beings on it is the obviously artificial
nature of the so-called canals as some
astronomers see them. There cannot
be said to be evidence OF additional
canal construction on the planet, the
whole question Of the existence Of any

on her head she can go anywhere in

An Auditing to be Pet::!ioned For.

Petitions are being circulated
throughout this county for sigma
lures from the tax paying citizens ask
ing Tor an auditing Ofthe books of the
under an act of the legislature. Such
an auditing can be secured either by
an order Of the county court or bv pc
titlOn of not less than 800 signers
Many people believe that such an over
hauling of the accounts of the various
county officers and placing them un-
der a uniform system is advisable and
no doubt Il sufficient number Of them
will sign the petition to secure this
auditing. In such counties as have
already ayailed themselves Of an ex-
animation of the accounts Of their Of
ticers by the State Auditor the results
have justified the expense, not only
IN the matter OF recovering q refund OF
overcharges of fees by officials through
their unfamiliarty with the fee svs-
tenn. hut because OF the application of
a Uniform system Of bookkeeping and
accounting applied in the conduct of
the offices. 1t is but just to our Off
GERS here to say that in asking for an
audit in this county there is no inten-
tion to imply dishonesty in the con-
duct of any official. The auditing will
benefit them as much as it will bene-
tit the taxpayers.
