Could Not Stand II LONGER.

Did you ever converse with a man
who was so nervous that he would
break right in and finish what you
were going to say? A fat man and
lean man met on Broadway car re-
Gently, relates the New York Sun.
Their conversation began agreeably
enough. 1t was about the weather,
flats, coal and politics. The fat man
was a good listener, but the lean man
wanted to do all the talking, and every
time the roly-poly one said anything
the cadaverous man took the words
out of his mouth. The fat man began
to glance sidewise at his companion.
1t was apparent that the thing of hav-
ing his words taken out of his mouth
was beginning to raw him up some.
The car Travelled quite a distance be-
fore he opened up again. Then he
said something about election, but the
lean man again interrupted and fin.
ished what he was going to say. The
fat man jumped from his seat with an
angry flash on his face, shook his fist
at the lean man and said: 1T would
be worth ten dollars of any man s
money to give such poll parrot as
you, such a doggoned unmannerly
chatterer burned good" licking"
cut in the lean man. And the fat m..n
jumped off the car.

LOOK INTO YOUR CELLAR
Plenty of Air and UnsIaked Lime
Make for Health, Says Writer
of Experience.

Householders seldom know that
their cellars are the storehouses from
whence comes SO per cent of the air Of
the first floor and 80 per cent of that
on the floor above. If they did there
would not be SO many dank and moi
some places filled with refuse and
mold, spiders, cobwebs and mice, to
say nothing of decayed vegetables and
fruits, writer in Mothers Magazine
observes. Vapors from all these COM
bine to penetrate the whole house and
add their poison to the air that is
breathed by those living above them.
Every cellar, even if kept free from
dirt, should be ventilated as carefully
in winter as in summer. A musty
smell shows that mold plants are grow
ing and are waiting to attack fruit and
vegetables. Cold will not kill these
destructive germs. There should be
plenty of air let in the cellar every
clear day. Moisture-laden air en-
tering it condenses on the walls and
pipes and soon makes 1t so damp that
it is a menace to the house. All eel
lars should have dishes of unslaked
lime in them; this takes up moisture
with avidity. When the lime crum-
bles, losing entirely its crystalline
character, it has become slaked and
will take up no more moisture. 1t
should then be renewed.

Soldier Describes Battle to His
Little Son.
Tells of Scenes in the Trenches and
of the Work of Artillery-All Very
Costly, Very Destructive and
Very Useless.

l.ondon.-The following letter was
written by British army officer in
France to his nine-year-old son, who
had asked his father what real bat
tie line was like:
my Dear Brian-You would like to
know what real battle line is like. In
TIE distance you see a hill and on the
wight some woods. Some farmhouses,
one or two still intact, and others
mere heaps of brick, lie dotted about.
Near you on the right is battery
hidden under bushes and earthworks.
Nearer you still are dugouts in which
the men live underground.
I'm the distance is German an
chored balloon watching the country.
On the right and overhead is an aero
plane.
Beyond the hill and the woods are
the trenches in which the infantry face
the German infantry, also in trenches.
Somewhere near the trenches, and
where they can see them well and the
country on the German side, are the
artillery observation officers, who tele-
phone directions to the batteries and
direct their fire where they want. All
this is done very accurately on spe-
cial system called registration, by
which having once hit target you
can always go on hitting it or anything
1lear it.
For instance, yesterday when l was
directing the battery at one of these
places a German put up tin on pole
and waved it about in the air in his
trench. l saw this, told one gunner
what angle to lay at and the range, and
the next moment the shell arrived and
the tin went up in the air. What hap
pened in the trench l don't know, but
the shell burst in it. One burst in ours
this morning and killed one man and
wounded two others. So they can dc
damage.
THE trenches are very lively places
at night when lot of rifle fire is al
ways going on, and one side or the
other sends out patrols or snipers to

Most Popular Houses.

Perhaps the most popular types of
dwellings being built at present are
the two-family and three-family
houses. The reason for this is not
hard to understand when one consid-
ers that the rented apartment or
apartments in such house carry all
interest, taxes, water rates and insur-
ance, and that any money paid in by
the owner is in the nature of decreas-
ing the mortgage, so that in time
these payments will pay for the house
and he will own it free and clear.
An additional feature Of the two
family or three-family house is that
after the house is fully paid for the
rentals furnish steady income and
means for the upkesp of the whole
building.
