Bungalows are not SO roomy as two.
story houses, SO that cellar room is
better appreciated.
This cellar is divided into cold stor.

and bins for the storage of coal. Mod

mand conveniences for doing the nec-
essary work as well as in providing
supplies for future use.
The construction materials selected
for a house like this depend somewhat
on the climate. But in general prin-
ciples, the building should be thor
oughly well built. Well-built walls,
ceilings and floors are warm in winter
and cool in summer.
The specifications for this bungalow
call for s%heathing boards and building
paper under the c%lapboards or other
outside finish The sheathing boards
are of good quality, well seasoned, to
prevent shrinkage. Then a good grade
of building paper is used. Such q

GET EGGS IN WINTER
Nothing. More Satisfying Than
Thrifty Laying ! Hens lens
Fowls Should Be Kept c~omfortap'e
and Fed RcguIarly-Keep Pure
Water Before Them Always
Clean Quarters Essential.
(By NJ. CHANDLER.)

Jr "a t6y ma EF'..-'.
There is no profit in keeping poul-
try in winter without eggs, and moth
ing that brings more satisfaction, OF
better returns than good, thrifty, lay
ing hens.
Some seem to have the knack OF
getting eggs in winter. while otners
are forever complaining. 10 be sue
cessful, one must use Judgment. NO
fool IAN succeed in this line OF bust
ness.
Laying hens should have the best OF
attention. They should be kept com
Portable both night and day, and FED
regularly on clean food, and pure wa
ter should be kept ever before them.
Plenty Of fresh air, sunshine, ana
clean quarters are absolutely necesr
sary to the production Of winter eggs.
Many make the mistake OF having
too many windows. The fowls gather
in the sunshine during the day and
get too warm, and consequently feel the
night chill more. There should be at
least one large window on the south
side and one in the east side, but It
should be so arranged that the fowls
cannot get nearer to them than a dis.
lance of two feet at least. : See to 1t
that there are no cracks to admit the
wind at night, but remember that a
little outside air, during the day, when
the fowls are moving about, is a good
thing.

The dining room is IA by u feet in

single windows for light. Between
the two single windows is a built-in
combination sideboard and buffet. The
woodwork of both these rooms is de.

There is a heavy Dashboard, a crown
molding which joints the walls and
ceilings of each room, and a plate rail
in the dining room, all built to match
in one general design. The plate rail
is q, continuation of the cornice at the
top of the sideboard. The dining
room walls are laiG of in panels sep.
arated by stiles made to match the

The woodwork in the two rooms

for the sink and Kitchen cupboard,
with it's workable top, which is next

there is a stairway to the cellar that

The little bungalow in the picture
has a rustic porch built with cobble
stones and cement mortar. The floor
of the porch and the steps leading up
to it are smooth concrete with water
proof finish, the same as the walk

The porch is rooted by two over
hanging projections that are support
ed by brackets. The size Of the porch
is 10 by 16 feet s inches, which is

BLUE OSTRICH TRIES TO DIE
Attempts Suicide With Piece OF Hose
Upon Landing at New York
From Bermuda.

Mike, a fighting ostrich from the
wilds of Africa, that found his way
by hook or crook to Bermuda, attempt
ed suicide or something like that by
shooting himself in the right eye
while respondent, after he was land
ed at New York from the steamship
Oceana.
AS Mike doesn't speak our language
well, no one knows what gave him the
blues" but he knew Immediately he
was lowered over the Oceana's side
that he was in a foreign cline that
wouldn't in the least appeal to his
health.
So Mike, eight feet tall and as full
of fight as a Kilkenny cat, spied a
length OF hose on the pier as he fell
out of his crate. He pressed a claw
on one end of the piece Of hose and
gripped the other end in his beak.
Then keeping the hose taut, he re-
leased his claw grip and the hose flew
back and whacked him on the right
optic. Mike saw his first attempt
was futile, but before he could make
a second attempt gang of longshore-
men pounced upon him.
Mike, even though he had as black
an eye as an ostrich could have, went
after the longshoremen In such fash
ION that most of them took to the
rafters. Those who we're not swift
enough he clawed and pecked. Final
ly they got gunny sack over Mikes
head and subdued him.
A charge of attempted suicide was
preferred against Mike and he was
put back in the ships hold to think
anew on the sweetness of life.

Nevertheles5, although they have to

The motor, in short, has "speeded

cyclist succeeded in driving his ma
