PreYentino Prcnnature EuriaIs.

The fear of being buried alive al
 ways has been, and is, so wides bread that the French Academy of Science some years ago offered a prize equal to $500 for the discovery of some means by which even the ineXperi- enced might al once determine wheth- CT, in given case, death had ensued or not A physician obtained the prize. He had observed the following well-known signs: If the hand of the suspected dead person is held towards a candle or other artificial light, with the fingers extended and one touching the other, and one looks through the spaces between the fingers towards the light. there appears a scarlet red color where the fingers touch each other. due to the blood still circulat- ing; it shows itself through the tis- sues which have not yet congested
 When life is entirely extinct, the phe- nomenon of scarlet spaces between the fingers at once ceases. The most extensive and thorough trials estab- lished the truth of his observation.

country is in the pitch of the roof. Bungalows in climates of small rain fail have the traditional fiat roof, but when the rainfall exceeds 20 or "A inches then roofs are made sleeper. The sleeper roofs may be held down in appearance by the treatment of the gables, to a certain extent.
 In this little fve-room bungalow we have an artistic fascia. The peaks of the gables conform to bungalow ideas by introducing an artistic effect that is thoroughly in keeping with the subject. The windows and window frames also are in keeping with the oddities of bungalow building. Also the cellar windows are shaped in con formity with the larger windows, but do not not follow too closely any one particular pattern.
 The cellar windows are set in the siding of the house, the same as the larger windows that light the living rooms, which is one reason for the window family likeness.
 Another bungalow feature is the manner in which the timbers are reached out from the gable ends of the house to support the wide roof projec- tion; also the cornice trim at the gables is especially interesting be- cause of the manner in which the fascia is cut at the peak and at the caves.
 The front porch is r feet by feet. and is so protected by the overhang- ing cornice that it makes a very com

BREAKING THE NEWS GENTLY
Liverpool Man Exceedingly Careful That He Should Not Shock the
 Nerves Of His Friend.

In Liverpool there is man, writes contributor to Pearson's Weekly, who is famous for his calmness on every occasion. One day he strolled leisurely into the office of a friend.
 I've just had chat with your wife" he began.
 Why. l didn't know she was in town
 Oh. she wasn't in town" replied the other. T called at your house"
 T didn't know she was receiving to- day" said the husband. with some sur prise T thought she had a head ache"
 She didn't mention it to me- said the calm man. There was quite a crowd at the house"
 "A crowd," echoed the husband
 Yes went on the calm man. They came with the fire engine"
 The fire engine" gasped the hus- band.
 Oh it's all right" went on the calm man. It's all out now. It wasn't [ much of fire. but thought you'd like to know of it."

THE WAY OUT Change of Food Brought Success and
 Happiness.

An ambitious but delicate girl, after failing to go through school on ac- count of nervousness and hysteria, found in Grape-Nuts the only thing that seemed to build her up and fur pish her the peace of health.
 From infancy" she says, T have not been strong. Being ambitious to learn at any cost finally got to the High School but soon had to abandon my studies on account of nervous pros tration and hysteria. --.--.-. ..- My food did not agree with me. and I grew thin and Respondent. I could not enjoy the simplest social affair for I suffered constantly from nervousness In spite of all sorts of medicines.
 This wretched condition continued until l became interested in the let ters of those who had cases like mine and who were being helped by eating Grape-Nuts.
 T had little faith. but procured . pkg. and after the first dish l experi- enced a peculiar satisfied feeling that I had never gained from any ordinary food. I slept and rested better that night and in . few days began to grow stronger.
 T had a new feeling of peace and restfulness. In a few weeks, to my great joy, the headaches and nervous ness left me and life became bright and hopeful. Presumed my studies. and later taught ten months with ease using Grape-Nuts every day. I am now the mistress of happy home, and the old weakness has never returned"

 Bungalows require special architec- tural treatment in regard to details of construction. The pretty little bunga- low known as Design No. 665S pos sesses a number of typical bungalow features.
 The selling value of bungalow de bends very much upon first appear ances. If the little house is attrac- tive from the street when a prospec- tive purchaser makes a tour of in spection, interest is aroused which may develop into keen desire to own the property. The same value is at tached to appearances. possibly to a greater degree. when the owner se- lects plans and builds with the inten- tion of making a permanent home.
 There is great deal of pleasure in first deciding what a person likes and then matching up the ambitions of the different members of the family against the savings account tha: has been growing for years for this special purpose.
 A real typical bungalow appeals to everyone, but is especially suitable for young married people with small fam flies. The bungalow style of archi- lecture was brought to the farm sections of the United States from Africa. The original bungalows were low-down structures, small in dimen- sions on the ground. but quite ambi- tious in regard to roof surface. It is the wide-eaves expansion which ac- counts in a great measure for the par ticular style of building known as bungalow construction"
 The first bungalows built in south- ern California. where the rainfall sell dom exceeds seven or eight inches per annum, had fat low-down roofs and were built without cellars. An attic is, of course. out of the question, be- cause there is seldom more than three or four feet of space between the ceiling joists and the peak. This means that the early California bunga-

fortable outdoor sitting room in sum mer. It is a typical bungalow porch with wide steps and heavy columns, which are fenced between with mis- sion style of railing without spindles.
 The chimney is rough stucco fin- ish, the size and design of which is similar to the heavy porch pillars. The similarity includes the caps on the porch and the chimney top.
 The plan of the rooms also is worked cut in true bungalow fashion, with two bedrooms and a bathroom on one side of the house and the three living rooms on the other side. When ever possible, the living rooms are laid out on the sunny side of the house, because so much more time is spent in the living rooms than in the bedrooms.
 Provision is made for a stairway to the cellar going down from the kitchen. This stair is laid out with wide treads and easy risers, because the housewife makes a good many trips to the cellar and back while at.  tending to the many household duties during the day. The value of an easy cellar stair is appreciated in a bunga. low more than in the regular two-story house, because it is the only stair and more use is made of it.
 The rooms in this bungalow are all good sized and carefully arranged for convenience and comfort The living room is intended to embody a great deal of elegant comfort. It is 17 by 12 feet in size. we'll lighted and well ventilated, especially when the hre is burning in the fireplace Such . room is bright and cheerful, even on dark days in the fall.

lows were built close down on the ground with caves that could almost be reached by stretching up ones arm.
 The planting of the bungalow into foreign territory. however, has result ed in many characteristic changes. For instance, all bungalows in the North are built with cellars. In fact, a cellar under a bungalow in the north ern sections of the country is the most important part of the house. because if furnishes storage that is especially valuable in a house that has neither upstairs or attic.
 !, The depth of bungalow cellars va rtes according to the climate. A unl- form height of basement or cellar cell ing has been established, because noythern bungalows especially are heated by warm-air furnaces and the furnace pipes require 1lz feet Of head ,onrn to give the proper slope for easy heating, but the depth of cellar vail below the lot line may vary with the amount of cold winter weather. The cooler the climate the deeper the cellar below ground

 The same fillingin of the lot helps to keep the front end of the cellar cool for storage purposes. The best bungalow construction has a cross wall to divide the storage cellar from the laundry and furnace room so that the best possible use may be made of the basement cellar.
