Where No Taxes Are Paid.

Happy and free from the worries OF
war taxation are the people of Lundy
island, that little speck off Devon In
the English channel, the "king" OF
which, Rev. Hudson Hetven, died g.
short time ago. The reverend gentle
man, administered the affairs of the
island from 1887 to 1904, as his father.
who bought the island in 1884 for about
1900, did before him. The Inhabitants
Of Lundy number about forty and lead
IN uneventful life., They pay no
taxes, are attached to no parish or
union and have no poor. The island
has romantic and lawIess history
and was once considered an excellent
harbor and refuge for murderers-
Bardsley island, situated in the Irish
sea, off the county Of Carnarvon, is
another spot where the tax collector is
unknown. There are about sixty peo-
pie on the island, who elect their own
king. The inhabitants are mostly en-
gagged in farming and fishing. The
island got its name from the tradi-
ton that it was the last retreat Of the
Welsh bards. In ancient times it had
a reputation for sanctity and to be
buried on its soil was an honor much
to be desired. 1t is believed that more
than $4,000 saints" gained this
privilege.

vast number of building materials
which are today open for the selec-
ton of the perspective builder have
eliminated the necessity of holding to
some few types of construction, and
when any particular material selection
is made it represents the personal
preference of the owner, who may be
inclined to judge either from stand
point of appearance or utility.
A wise selection of materials will,
however, necessitate the basis of judg-
ment upon desire for both beauty and
permanence. The home is usually
considered as something permanent
and must be built to meet this require
ment. This does not imply that every
home should be constructed of solid
stone masonry, for proper construc-
ton methods and reasonable atten-
ton to maintenance will give wooden
structure long life. Some people do
not object to the occasional trouble
of repainting a frame house and are
inclined toward this type because of
the possibility which it offers for treat
ment in various color combinations.
Others prefer the type which, if once
erected, needs no further attention and
| can be relied upon to hold its original
appearance for long period of years.
The happy medium" is found in a
house built partly of some material
which may be considered as included
in the first class and partly Of some
more endurable material which falls
into the second class. Even then the
selection is not a limited one for there
are many pleasing combinations of the
natural and manufactured stones with
the various forms of wooden material
A design is illustrated which may be
placed in the happy medium" class

PLAYING Close to the Plate.

Three San Francisco men were at a
southern California resort for a week,
and drew a table presided over by a
saffron-colored waiter of a limited-en-
ergy disposition. On the last day of
their stay, however, there was a nota-
BILE change in the demeanor of their
servitor. Where he had gazed afar off
during other meals, he was now all at
tentiOn. He saw to it that the bus-boy
kept their water glasses and butter
plates filed. There was nothing that
he overlooked. Suspecting the rea-
son for this sudden soIicitude, one of
the trio called the waiter to him. "Why
this anxiety all at once to give us serv-
ice-just when we are going away?''
he demanded. "WeIl, hits this way,
boss" the smiling waiter conf1ded.

gables. The chimneys are of brick
capped with rough stone. The broad,
gracefully sloping roof is shingled. The
rafters have. their ends exposed and
the projecting ends of the purlins are

under the roof, with its solid stone col
umns, is pleasant feature. The en-
tire exterior is we'll balanced and can

How to Drink Milk.

Sip milk slowly. Take four minutes
at least to finish tumblerful, and
take only a good teaspoonful at one
sip. This is the ideal way in which
to drink milk. When milk finds its
way into the stomach, it is Instantly
curdled. If you drink a large guam
tity at once it is curdled into one big
mass, only on the outside of which
the juices of the stomach can work.
If you drink it in little sips, each sip
is curdled up by itself, and the whole
glassful finally finds itself in a loose
lump, made up of little Jumps, upon
which the stomach's juices may act
readily. Many people who like milk.
aid know it's value as a strength -giver.
think they cannot use it because it
gives them indigestion. Most of them
could use it freely if they would drink
it properly.

UNDERWATER TOOK THE BAT
Quaker's Shrewd, If Somewhat I'm
scrupuIous Trick, Had the Success
He Anticipated.

Some months ago the Companion
told little tale of old privateerin&
days, in which a quick-thinking enRt
ployee who discovered long-overdue
privateer coming into port with prize
by some very hard riding overlook the
owner of the ship on his way to the
underwriters and saved him from the
useless payment of a heavy premium.
An English Quaker was reminded of an
anecdote of the same period, based OF
the same situation, which occurred
among his own people.
Two Quakers, a merchant and an
underwater meeting at an inn, began
talk business over their meal. The
merchant presently proposed to his
friend to insure his vessel, lost or not
lost, which ought soon to arrive; in
fact it was already slightly overdue.
The premium would necessarily be
high, but the times were perilous and
the Yankee privateers had recently
taken many prizes upon the route the
vessel must cover. The UNDERWRITERS
hesitated. The policy was made Out,
but his mind was not made up. Final
ly he put the paper into his pocket.
saying:
Il will sleep on the matter, friend
Joseph, and tomorrow I will return It
to thee, signed or unsigned"
They parted and went to their
homes. Before dawn an urgent mes
senger clattered at the merchants
door. He was bringer of bad tidings.
The vessel was lost. 1t was, unless It
was insured, heavy misfortune. If
only that policy had been signed the
day before! He had little belief that
his hesftating friend would have de-
| cided to take the risk; he was a eau
tious and keen person, with repu-
tation for sharp practice. But Joseph
saw in that fact his opportunity. Sum-
mOning messenger, to whom he said
no word of his loss, he dispatched him
with message, instructing him care
fully exactly what words to use. He
was to say:
Friend Joshua, neighbor Joseph de-
sires me to inform thee that, if thee
hast not underwritten, thee needst not
do it."
The message was delivered promptly
and precisely. Friend Joshua, who had
not signed. and had decided against
doing so, understood it to mean that
the ship had arrived safely, and the
owner did not wish to pay the pre-
MUM, now useless, unless the signed
document required him in honor and
law to do SO. That is what the canny
Joseph expected him to think; and he
proceeded, to act as Joseph had
guessed he might act. He pretended
not to find the policy where he looked
for it in his Office, slipped it stealehily
among a handful of other papers
which he carried carelessly with him
into the next room, where he went os-
tensibly to seek further, and there sly
ly signed it. Presently he brought II
back and delivered it to the messengel
with the message:
''Tell thy master had signed"
1t was not pretty bit of business
= friend Joseph's trick was a little toe
clever-but certainly no one can sym
pathize with friend Joshua. 1t was q
case of the bitter bit.-Youth's Com

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he
is, without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries
to William A. Radford, No. 1927 Prairie
avenue, Chicago, ILL.,, and only enclose
two-cent stamp for reply.
The idea of permanence in house
construction dates back to a period
which had passed long before the ex-
istence Of the new world was even
thought of. 1t is very probable that
other considerations we're of govern
ing importance at that time and the
quality of permanence was obtained
more as a matter of necessity than
as a matter of desire. The materials
out of which buildings were made in
the early days were the materials
which could be taken from nature and
converted into their final form with
the least possible necessity of any
process being performed upon then
day be termed manufacturing opera
ton. 1t was early found that if stones
having fiat faces were gathered in suffi
clent quantities they could be piled
one on top of the other with some
form of plastic material to fill the
cracks, and the resulting wall could bt
built to form an enclosure with Il rougI
covering of thatch, animal skins OF
even huge slabs of stone. Thus i
happened that the natural way wat
also a permanent way to construc
houses.
In every age since its advent int'
the field of building materials ston
has found place, if reasonable facil
| tiles for using it have been at hant
and sufficient supply ohtainable. A
| the present time it is used in mucl
different sense than it originally wa
found necessary to consider it. TIL
