RAZE OLD COTTAGES
Ancient Buildings Of England Be-
ing Pulled Down.
Houses That Have stood for Rundreds
Of Years to Be Done Away With
and "Jerry-BulIt MonstrositIes"
to Take Their Places.

London.-Now that an epidemic
seems to be on the point Of setting in,
if it has not already started, Of pull
ing down old cottages which have
stood for hundreds Of years and re-
placing them, 1t is to be feared at
public expense, by jerry-built mon
strosities, it is of urgent Importance,
remarks writer in London Country
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,
that work lacks the profuse illustra-
ton 1t 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
iier 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. think, he is mistaken, for / can
find none Of the type in question IN
Kent or thereabouts, nor have ! been
able to get a photograph Of one from
anywhere.
/ leave the interested reader to re
fer to the book for full explanation
of the term and the reasons in an
cient architecture for the dimensions Of
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 a 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 distance Of about 16 feet apart,
and the space included between them
was known as a bay"
These pairs of bent trees are
forks" Tin Latin furcael or they were
called 'gavels," or "gavel-forks
(hence the word "gableD. Nowadays
they are called "croks," "crucks" or
"crutches." Thus cottage or barn
is said to be built on crucks" Where

900 Of the 137,OOO,OoO inhabitants

neutral regions are the Italian and
Spanish colonies and the native
states of Abyssina and Liberia.
CuriouslZ enough Australasia and
Oceania, although the most remote
from the primary zone of hostilities,
have the highest percentage of bellig-
erency of any of the continental di-
visions of the earth, over 95 per cent
in area, and 81 per cent in population.
South America occupies the happi-
est position of all. out Of an area of
over 100000 square miles and pop
ulation of about 52,5OO,OOO only 1885,
500 square miles Of territory and $780,
900 human beings are subject to any
OF the combatants.
The percentage of area is less than
and of population less than /.
Thus the continent whose very
name was formerly regarded as de-
noting the most favorable soil on
earth for the termination Of wars has,
strangely enough, the distinction Of
being almost entirely at peace, while
more than half of the world is at war.

the trees are straight, the pairs are
called couples of siles," and there are
other local designations. The only eX
ample of this earliest type given by
Mr.. Addy is Teapot Hail." Dalderby,
or Scriyelsby, Lincolnshire.
In this case the angle timbers, like
the poles of a Whymper tent, are
straight, so that even here we lack a
perfect example of the type Mr.. Addy
says is common.
Out of this most rudimentary type,
says Mr.. Addy, ''the next evolutionary
step was to make the walls
straight Il. e., verticaD, while still re.
tanning the original construction.
The change was accomplished In the
following way: The ends of the tie
beams which braced the 'crucks' to.
gether were heightened outwardIy, SO
that the tie-beam became equal in
length to the" width OF the cottage.
Upon the tops, or at the ends, of these
extended tie-beams, long beams,
known as pans (Yorkshire) or 'pons'
(Lancashire), were laid, and then the
rafters were laid between the pans
and the ridge tree. Finally side
wall was built (on each side) from the
ground as far upward as the pan, 80
that the pan rested on the top Of this
wall"
Some OF the early English grave.
stones erected over the ashes of burnt
burials were evidently intended to rep.
resent houses. One of the models
obviously initiates the simplest type Of
cottage, the one with the bent forks
rising directly from the ground. An
other incorporates the second type
where the side walls have been made
vertical. The third shows more
elaborate half timber building with
decorative patterns modelled or painted
on the surface Of the filling in the
manner described by Tacitus as EN-
pIoyed by the Germans of his time
Under these little models we're the
pans containing the ashes.

HAYDN's MSS. CURL PAPERS
Great Composers Wife Did Not Ap
preciate Genius That World
Acknowledged.

Haydn married the sister of the
woman he loved. He was little more
than twenty years old when he fell in
love with the younger daughter Of a
certain Keller, a barber, who had done
much for him and been almost father
to him. But Keller used to say;
Haydn, you should marry my elder
daughter" Haydn obeyed, more from
duty than from love, and married Anna
Maria, the eldest daughter. He was
then twenty-seven and she thirty-two
It was most unhappy marriage;
there was not any reciprocity either OF
affection or tastes between husband
and wife. The world proclaimed Haydn
genius, but Anna Maria thought diff
ferently; for her there was little differ
ence between an artist and cobblers
and she TRANQUILITY used her husbands
manuscripts as curl papers for hel
hair. And her gay humorl When her
husband was absent she wrote to him
in these pleasant terms: IL you should
die some day or other, we have not
enough money in the house to bury
you" Or she communicated to him
this affectionate idea: 81 nave seen a
pretty little house which like very
much. Please send me 1000 forms to

himself greatly: IF should die take

enough to pay my funeral expenses. :.

WOMEN ARE DRINKING

London, November 23.-The matter
of drinking among women, as well
as the custom of treating recruits by
admiring public, is strongly engaging
the attention of the authorities in
London and the provinces. While the
closing hours Of public houses have
been made earlier throughout Eng
land, other measures are discussed.
One is that women be barred from
the publicl houses altogether since
many of them have more money to
spend while their husbands are away
at the war Another proposal is to
exclude women from the drinking

makes and indignant protest in a let
ter to the prime minister's secretary
1T is my duty to warn you that
these repeated attacks on our liber-
ties are provoking the deepest indig
nation among men and women alike" :"
says her letter. Miss Boyle also
wrote:
May | point out 10 you-
"That the allowances paid to wom-
en- are their own money, and that
they have the same right to spend
their money as they like as men
have.
That no attempt, apparently, is be-
ing engineered to regulate the allow
ance of soldiers and sailors, many Of
whom, according to information sup
piled me, are spending the money paid
them by the government on drink and
immoral women without restraint.
THAT there has been no increase
in drinking among women since the
outbreak of war at all proportionate
to the increase of drinking among
men.
"The probable reason for the state
ment that more women are drinking
now is that at the present time public
houses are thronged with male Gus
tomers-of whom an enormous num-
ber are men in uniform that wom-
en- cannot gain access to the premis-
es and are served outside, where
naturally they are more conspicuous"

Jar Opener.

A hint to housewives: Old scissors
make a very serviceable fruit jai
opener. Anyone who has struggled
with the obstinate top Of fruit jar
will appreciate any little aid to the
opening process, and here is one: Take
an old pair of scissors and grind the
broken ends concave, SO as to fit the
side Of the jar top when the scissors
are open. Then bore holes near the
end Of each ground prong. A stout
piece of wire should then be inserted
in the holes and fastened securely &c
that 1t will just reach around the jar
top when the scissors are held open
Now, by pressing the shears together
the wire will take death grip on the
fruit-iar cover, SO that 1t is easily
removed. The device also comes in
handily in the canning season, when
the housewife wants to screw her tops
down firmly.
