 In some parts of the country it is easy to obtain natural materials which may be used to very good advantage in house construction. The principal parts of the house in which natural materials are used are porches and chimneys. Frame houses having stone porches and chimneys are given sub stantial look which cannot be obtained in any type of all-wood construction. The kind of stone which should be used will depend partly upon what kind is available and partly upon the preference of the owner.
 Trenton and Galena limestone may be used to produce very desirable ef- fleets The bluish tint of the Trenton is preferred by some over the yellow of the Galena. Sandstone has been

used in various colors for porch and chimney construction.
 Some sandstones have the disadvan- tage that they are not as durable as might be desired. In localities where large granite powders are plentiful, blocks of this material may be cut from the stone. These blocks may be used either in regular form and size or in various irregular shapes and sizes. Rough-faced marble is par ticularly good material for porch and chimney construction. Cobblestones, used just as they are found, have produced many attractive porches and chimneys on frame houses. The cob blestones should not be too small, and they should be matched in the walls so that the mortar joints will not be too prominent. The color of the nor tar will depend upon the kind of stone used and the effect desired. Mortar which is widely different in color from the stone will attract more attention to the porch Or chimney than mortar which has been colored to match the stone as nearly as possible. Special

HOW TO IDENTIFY CHICKENS
Where Fowls in Neishborhood Are Much Alike 1t Is Excellent Plan
 to Paint or Dye Them.

Neighbors living close to each other grow chickens which are very much alike. Often each party thinks the oth- CT is in possession of some of his birds and trouble begins. In order to avoid this. one neighber will get some black chickens because his neighbor has white ones.
 !. Hens in adjoining yards, if they get through the fence, often make their home in the new quarters.
 2. Different varieties in adjoining breeding yards are in great danger of becoming mixed.
 8. All birds in any community which are apt to range together should be one variety properly branded.
 A good grade of dye or paint is the best method of marking the birds to be detected at sight, different people using different colors. If all are grow ing white birds, one person can use red on his birds, another blue, another green, etc, placing the color on the wings and tail so they can be seen at a distance. This gives quick identifi- cation of the birds, and in addition to helping neighbors to identify their own birds, will help control wholesale chicken thieves, because of this identi- fication.

Moonshine Wish.

The concentration of troops in Ha- waii had brought together again some old comrades of Indian frontier days, and one of the good wives insisted upon gathering them at her table to talk of Aud Lang Syne. They had been talking of comrades splendid services and advancement up the lad der of fame. All knew he was super stitious and never hesitated to stake all on one chance if he could see the new moon over his right shoul- der. The hostess summoned one of her guests to the lawn to try his luck, and said:
 You must hold this silver dollar in your left hand, look at the new moon over your right shoulder make wish, and it will come true."
 The thing was very quickly done, and they rejoined the party. Later the hostess asked if the wish had been made, and, upon being informed that it had, she remarked:
 Where is my silver dollar?"
 "Oh!" replied the guest, "T wished that I might keep the silver dollar, and it came true" ."-Harper's Maga- zine.

 Although the stone may be used in almost any type of house to advan- tage, there is usually special distinc- ton given the bungalow by it's use. This may be due to the fact that the bungalow as a type is particularly adapted to all kinds of special treat ment. There is undoubtedly no type of house which may be finished in as many different ways as the bungalow without changing the effectiveness of It's design.
 The bungalow shown here has more than the average appeal to those who appreciate the beauty and convenience of this type of house. Special features are evident in this house, both in the
