Floor Plan.

a wall all in one piece from the bot
tom of the cellar to the top of the wall.
Usually wood is cheaper from the
ground up, and it is easier to put win
dow frames into a wooden wall than
into concrete, brick or block, because
the frames have to be set and the wall
material worked around them. This
timber construction starts with the
top of the wall in the regular way
of placing studding to be covered with
building paper and finally sided with
shingles, as shown in the perspective.
The whole house is covered with
shingles clear down to the ground,
to retain the low-down bungalow
effect.
The front porch is supported by
piers of masonry up to the lower
edges of the porch joists. From the
masonry to the porch ceiling are
square pillars boxed in about half of
tie way ND and covered with shingles
to match the house siding.
The ground is graded up to give a
low appearance to the porch, the eff
feet of which is increased by growing
shrubbery and tall flowers on two
sides Of the porch. It requires con-
siderable study to lay out the grounds
about q bungalow to merge the lawn.

Some History of Canes.

General use of canes or walking
sticks was at one time forbidden IN
Rome by imperial edict, except to per-
sons of patrician rank, thus making 1t
a privilege which came to be popular
among the nobility and eventually
distinction. The women OF this time
carried them also, their richly and
artistically decorated canes serving as
a rod for the punishment OF their
slaves. The cane appeared IN Eng
land as the badge of aristocracy In
about the fifth century, but after serv-
ing this purpose for some time, came
into the hands of the humber and
was dropped by those of higher soclai
standing. 1t was re-establlshed IN It's
true form by the pilgrims and soldiers
returning from the Holy Land during
the Crusades, and soon came into pop
ularity again With revival OF the
cane among the gentry came a period
of decoration, and canes of exquisite
design and of great value resulted.

KNOWLEDGE OF THE BIBLE
Probably Most People imagine They
Know More Than They Do
About Sacred Book.

Chicago churchgoers have discov-
cred that their knowledge of the Bible
is limited Ministers have sought to
explain the ignorance of the Scrip
lures displayed by Chicago congre-
cation, but the fact remains that
churchgoers ana former attendants Of
Sunday schools were unable to answer
questions that should have been
simple for one familiar with the great
est of all classics.
The members of prominent Chi
cago church foundered on these ques-
tons: What man threw stones at a
king? What was the origin of the
word "shibboleth?" When did the
bleating of sheep foreten the loss Of
a kingdom? What fierce nations were
driven out of their cities by hornets :?
What giant king had an iron bedstead
IS feet long and six feet wide? What
young man lost his temper in an argu-
ment with four older friends? Who
escaped by the skin of his teeth?
Of course, scriptural ignorance. in
Chicago does not reflect the biblical
knowledge of the rest of the country.
All things are not in Babylon. But
we doubt the ability of the average
churchgoers to answer the questions
that COMPOUNDED Chicago.-Cincinnati

OF Destiny.

Being boy meant very LITTLE n
Louis Napoleon, for he had it in his
mind almost from the day he was
born to be emperor of the French. In
a moment of confidence he said to hia
bosom friend, Baron d'Ambes. who in
turn confided it to his diary, now pub
lshed as Intimate Memoirs of Ma.
poleon III'.
i have retained very lively i'm

year, when the idea occurred to me-
Tor the first time, and very clearly.
that my destiny was not the same as
that OF other children; that it held
something greater and more serious.
But | cannot tell whether it gave me
feeling of pride or of fear-perhaps

Il grew accustomed to the notion
that I, too. should one day be emperor
or king-I did not know which, al
though emperor sounded finer. I
knew Napoleon was at st. Helena on
a rock, and he sometimes haunted me
like phantom.

The commandant of the fortress

When the rainfall is heavy or when
the snow falls to a depth of two or
three feet, fiat roofs sometimes cause
trouble.
1t is difficult to retain the bunga-
low effect and at the same time Sc
cure a good cellar.
To do so the cellar wall is carried
up only to the level of the ground
under pretense of setting the building
down low to carry out the bungalow
idea, but the construction calls for
three feet of timber between the wall
and the girth that supports the floor
joists of the living rooms. This is
done to gain headroom and to give suf-
ficient space for large-sized cellar win
dows.
Cellar walls are cheaper made in
this way, for two reasons. In the
first place it saves labor in building
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1915-01-22

practically furnishes one end of the
living room. Low bookcases may be
built at the sides of the fireplace, or
the space may be reserved for large
reading chairs placed in the corners
in front of the narrow chimney win
doWs.
The rear of the house is just as
carefully planned as the front. Com
mencing with the grade entrance at
the back there are wide, easy steps
leading down into the cellar. This
cellar way is closed by a locked door
if considered necessary.
From the same grade entrance half
a dozen steps lead up into the kitchen.
The floor of the grade entrance is
on level with the top of the wall,
but there is a step down from the
door sill to the sidewalk in the back
yard.
A grade entrance like this with easy
steps to the cellar means good deal
on wash days, and when the cellar
basement is used for other household
duties, such as doing up fruit in the
summer time when the laundry stove
is used.
In a bungalow a great deal of use
may be made of the cellar for work
that is ordinarily done on the main
floor in larger houses.
The arrangement of the kitchen
could not be well improved upon. The
projection makes room for four win
dows looking out in three different
directions.
The large pantry has an especial
place for the ice box, with an out
side door and an ice platform for the
exclusive use of the ice man. so that
he can carry up four pounds of mud
on each boot without causing frown
to cloud the beautiful face of the young
housewife

ant picture, but the bungalow type
OF house lends itself to the blending
of lawn, shrubbery and flowers and
house as a beautiful setting for an ar
tistic home better than any other
style of architecture.
There is an advantage in placing the
front porch at the corner of the house.
1t leaves the large triple window free
from obstruction to admit plenty of
light into the large living room. There
is a similar window to light the din
ing room, which also is well placed to
catch all the available light and sun
shine.
The wide projection Of roof required
in bungalow construction will steal
away the light from the li"tng rooms
unless SINE provision j. made to
guard against roof encroachment. Dur
ing dark days of fall and early winter
it is impossible to get too much light
into a bungalow.
All windows are supposed to be
fitted with dark green shades for use
in summer. There is fashion, in
very sunny sections of the far West,
Of using double window shades, a
light shade next to the window to
match the room decorations and a
dark shade to pull down inside when
occasion requires. This dark shade
rolls up tight, close against the top
of the window, for days or weeks with
out being unrolled, but it is there to
use when needed.
Entering the front door Of this beau
tiful bungalow we find a model floor
plan. The main feature is the large
living room, is feet by II feet inches
with a splendid fireplace at one end.
The chimney and fireplace are both
constructed of the same kind of brick,
usually dark colored, rough surface
brick that contrasts splendidly with
the pure white mortar and the white
ornamental insets.

tistically finished with large mantel

Fad Set by King Edward.

Probably few people are aware that
the popularity of the copper and alum
mum bracelet worn by SO many ladies
at the present time is really due to
the fact that the late King Edward re-
garded as his mascot similar brace
let, which was presented to him by
one of his friends shortly before the
serious illness which resulted in the
postponement of his coronation. His
late majesty, who was more than usu-
ally superstitious, regarded the brace
let as having direct bearing on his
ultimate recovery, and when he died
it was placed among the personal be-
longings which he bequeathed to
King George.

Watchful Gander.

In country town in northern Penn
sylvania there lives an old man who
sells milk, carrying it from house to
house morning and evening in a small
handcart. There is nothing strange
about that, but his companion on these
daily trips is the very strangest you
ever heard of-an old gray gander,
who follows him aboutsin the most dig
nified manner, and stands watch over
the cart, letting no one go near it in
his masters absence. His name is Ma
jor, and his master says that he is just
as useful as dog would be.-Our
