Napoleon's Vain Effort.

One hundred years ago Napoleon
found himself face to face with the
allied army under Prince Swartzen-
berg. The encounter took place be-
tween the towns of Troyes and Arcis.
The meeting was something of sur
prise to the French, for they had not
expected to come up with the enemy
SO soon. Neither were they prepared
to find the foe so numerically strong.
The first charge of the Russian cav
airy threatened Napoleon's person,
and a Polish battalion had scarcely
time to form in square for his protec-
ton. A few minutes afterward a
shell fell at his feet and severely
wounded his horse. The French SOL
diers, though only one against three,
fought everywhere with prodigious
valor, but all their efforts could only
succeed in rendering the result doubt
full. The action checked only momen-
tarily the onward march of the In.
vaders.

People today have come to realize
the value and hygienic necessity of
plenty Of fresh air. This has come
about through long education The
fresh-air cure for consumption Ia even
now established as fact, and camps
are maintained in many parts of the
country for the treatment of this dis
ease by the fresh-air method. It is
needless to say that no member Of q
family living in q bungalow like this
will ever need treatment for that
dread disease. The open window at
night is the greatest safeguard against
disease. 1t is in the winter when the
windows are closed, shutting out the
pure air, that most ailments are con-
tracted.

Can you imagine yourself far from
the madding crowd" living in bun
galow like this, with never a care or
a thought except the comfortable ex-
ertion of breathing the pure air from
the fields or the woods? To suggest
this to the tired city dweller who is
Gagged in a fiat may seem cruel, yet
even he or she hopes some time to
live amid such surroundings. A bun
galow like this fills the day dreams
of thousands of people who are able to
keep up their ambition by the hope
OF some time being far away from the
scenes of confusion and hustle that
tax the nerves and the strength.
Now, to come down out of the clouds
to more practical things. The plan of
this bungalow, you will observe, is
simplicity itself There Is more porch
than house. And while there are only
three rooms, we shall see how roomy
the structure can be made. The porch
extends all around the house, with
steps on each of the four sides. This
porch is feet inches wide. At a
very small expense, the open spaces
between the pillars of the porch can
be screened in, and screen doors pro.
vided at the entrances. Divisions or
partitions of tapestry can thus divide
the entire porch into outdoor bed.
rooms. Privacy or protection against
beating rains or sunshine can be pro.
vided by the placing of canvas shades
on rollers at the openings.

done much, and in the use Of which
men can afford, for time at least, to

The four and half millions of in

sheep stations and cattle runs miles

Of the money in building is usually
spent, can be simplicity itself. The

OF the walls finished with panels or
with wainscoting and vanished or

AS for the exterior, the design is ad-
mirably adapted to being finished with
cement stucco. On the sheathing, tar
paper should be tackled; and over this,
Turing strips nailed. Then either
expanded metal or wooden lath can
be used. Two coats will be required.
The first or scratch coat may be a

to make holding surface for the &C.

coat. This coat can be applied to bring
out any desired finish. One of the most
popular finishes in cement stucco is
called the slap-dash finish. 1t is ap-
piled by being thrown on with a
trowel. 1t makes rough finish, most
attractive. Pebble-dash is a cement
mortar containing small pebbles, and
is similarly applied.

Australia should be a land of Sc

cruel saying, for our fathers were
sent out from England by the best

of a century has Australia, through
growth Of population and advanced

part in the worlds affairs. Australia
has no ancient crust of privilege to be
broken up by the plewshare of pro-

which he has not been slow to take
