anese, Has Become a Matter of
General knowledge.

For many centuries the Japanese
have closely guarded the secret Of
growing miniature trees. Indeed, says
the Youths Companion, until recent
ly they did not allow the trees to be
taken out Of the country; wealthy
people keep them as art treasures.
Now, in America, dwarf trees bring a
good price and are used as house
plants and table decorations. By fol-
lowing the plan here described almost
any one can raise diminutive trees
with little trouble.
Get a few large, thick-skinuod or
anges and halve them. Remove the
pulp and cover the outside of the skins
with thick shellac That will keep the
skin from shrivelling. Fill the skins
with fine, rich soil, and plant therein
a seed of whatever tree you wish to
raise-Or rather two or three seeds,
to insure at least one good specimen.
Make a stand of some kind so that
the growing tree can be kept in an
upright position and set the plants
where they will get plenty of sun,
but do not keep them in a room that
is likely to become overheated. Water
them regularly, but not too profusely.
After a time the roots will begin to
come through the orange peel. When

The colonial type of house has re.
tanned its popularity for many years
and is gtill used to a large extent in
all parts of the country, Even the
bungalow is made 80 as TO include GER
tain features that are colonial I'm ap.
pearance There are certain impress
sions that are created by a colonial
house that are hard to get with any
other form of construction.
The colonial house always has a dig
niiied appearance. 1t never seems
like the ordinary run of houses, but al
ways seems TO stand by itself Along
with this, however, there is a warmth
and an impression of comfort. The
idea of a home is carried by the colo
nial design along with its dignity.
The accompanying illustration
shows a bungalow that is built in colo
nial style, and it certainly has an at
Tactive but dignifed appearance. The
fact that the bungalow type can be
adapted TO this style of architecture
shows the adaptability of bungalows.
When you consider that many of them
are made with all sorts of fancy trim
mings and are all varieties and
shapes, it doesn't seem consistent
that they can be adapted to a style |
such as is shown here And yet there |
is nothing inconsistent about the plan
as shown.
There are no very elaborate finish
ings in the construction of this bunga.

low. For this reason it |
presents a good practical plan and
offers a distinctive home to the dis

walls and the white trim and columns
Is in keeping with the dignity of this
colonial home. The projecting roof

products of the island is peculiarly

The occupation of Cephalonia by
French and British forces, for strate.
gic purposes, marked another cycle in
the strange history Of this little island
in the Ionian sea which has played
the role Of shuttlecoct in international
diplomacy for more than two thousand
years, says National Geographic

three times as great as that of Mar.

but from the year of its surrender to
the Romans 1S9 b. c., its history has
been marked by a succession Of
ownership which would bewilder the
most astute student Of world politics.
After the Roman emperor Hadrian
made a gift Of the island to Athens,
CephalOnia, and the six other islands
of the Ionian group, became free and
autonomous" but during the ascen-
dancy Of the Byzantine empire they
were subject to its power.
The next change came in the
eleventh century. While William the
Conqueror was engaged in establish
ing himself firmly in the British isles,

have laid the foundations for a Norman
empire similar to that which William

pected to be up by 7:45 in the morning
and to retire to their quarters at dark.
They are allowed to keep light burn
ing until eleven o'clock. Apart from
these regulations, however, they are at
liberty to move about the camp quite
freely and spend their time as they
like. The camp, like other internment
camps, enjoys a certain amount Of
self-goVernment, prisoners electing in
each building two officers, intrusted,
during a weeks time, with the supervi-
sion Of the house and enforcement of
the rules and regulations about rising
in the morning, etc.
The food served in the camp is
not only good and plentiful, but far
richer and more varied than in ordi-
nary prisoners camps, to suit the Off
GERS standard Of life. The men in the
morning receive the usual continental
breakfast-coffee and bread, a hearty
meal at noon, a lighter meal in the af-
ternoon, and supper before bedtime
They are allowed half a bottle of
wine or beer with their dinner and
supper, and will find at the cantoen,
a variety of eatables, things to drink,
wearing apparel, and even luxuries
What is not on stock, the authorities
will get for them promptly. The house
where the canteen is installed also
serves as storehouse for Ulcers, each
Of whom has a compartment OF his
own to store away foodstuffs and the
like.
Those who have visited the German
camp have been impressed with the
fair manner with which the Germans
treat their prisoners. The impris-
oned officers live on terms of mutual
respect with their captors and so
friendly is the relation as to warrant
the hope that the actual combatants in |.

paying for the wheat.

umns, is a pleasing decorative fea

To retain the bungalow appearance
in the colder climates, it is necessary
to make several changes in both the
lot on which the bungalow stands and
also in the house itself.
Cellars are needed in the cooler eli
! mates and these must be provided
without giving the appearance of rails
ing the house in any way. The bunga-
low looks best when it is close to the
ground, so the lot should be graded
toward the front so as to bring the
front entrance just a little above the
ground. In the back of the house and
along the sides it is not necessary to
have the lot graded so high, and the
windows for lighting the basement
can be placed at these places. This is
the method most commonly used for
getting the bungalow effect in colder
climates.
The basement that Is provided must
be Of a depth sufficient to accommo-
date a modern heating plant. A COM
plete hot-air heating plant will require
about 7 feet inches headroom in the
basement. In bungalow construction
this generally means a rather deep
excavation, because the building is
never built very far above the ground.
Other types of heating plants require
slightly less headroom than the hot-air
system.
In keeping with the tendency in
modern homes, the living room in this
design is made quite large and com
Portable and a fireplace of good size is
provided, The living room is connect
ed to the dining room and the back
hall by cased openings
There are very few bungalows built
now that do not have a fireplace in
cluded in the plan. A big fireplace is
almost always the most striking fea-
ture of living room and adds more to
the cozy appearance than anything |
else. There is a real home atmosphere |
in living room that has a bright fire !
blazing in the fireplace on the cold |
winter evenings Also fireplace is
ne of the best aids to ventilation that |
can be included in plan.
The placing of the one shown here
has been very carefully done. 1t is
opposite the cased opening leading to
the dining room, so that the CHEEKY
light of the fire can be seen from this
room as well as from the living room.
It helps to bind the two rooms to-
gether when they are being used for
