WEIRD ANIMALS FROM ABROAD
Captain of Ship Which Brought Them
Over Tells Some Remarkable
Tales of His Passengers.

A collection of animals, including
lions, tigers, emus, chimpanzees,
snakes, chameleon zebras, parrots,
leopards and 700 monkeys, arrived the
other day on a British freighter, con-
signed to Louis Ruhe, an animal deal
er, for distribution among the zoologi-
cal gardens in the western states, says
the New York Times.
According to the captain, the most
remarkable animals on board were the
four chameleons, zebras, which had red,
white and blue stripes, and were first
seen in Uganda by Col. Theodore
Roosevelt on his African hunting trip.
One of the zebras put its forefoot on
hot brick and turned blue, the cap
tain declared, and when the native at
tendant, Lambam, placed it in cold
salt water the animal turned white.
Oog and Joeg, the two trained CHM
panzees, were said to be remarkably
intelligent and could hardly be distin-
guished from some kinds of human be-
ings when they were attired in dun
garee overalls and flannel sweaters.

Floor Plan.

row courses. Plain rough siding is
used, which gives a rustic appearance
to the bungalow. This siding can be
stained dark, which adds still further
to the rustic idea. The window cas-
ings are made in the same color and
the sashes are white, which provides a
pleasant contrast.
The entrance is into reception hall
that opens through cased openings in
to the living room and also into the
back hall which connects up the bed
rooms and the bath. This plan, with
its reception hall and back hall, pro-
vides an arrangement that makes all
the rooms readily accessible from all
of the other rooms. Convenience is
the object of this arrangement togeth-
er with privacy between the different
parts of the house.
The bedrooms are placed at the
front and back corners of the house,

Gil was doing the work with the help
Of the wrist and the hand and the arm
of a little boy named julius.
"Now, julius was trying to do his
arithmetic lesson and it was very, very
hard. The reason it seemed so hard
was because he had not paid any at

she had explained the next days les

reading a book with many pictures

work his sums all out on paper he
could not do them at all. And he had
stayed out playing too long. He knew
quite well he should have come in
doors far sooner-but he had wanted
to stay out and so he had stayed
GAS long as julius wanted to do a
thing he did it, and never cared at all
about two little words called right
and wrong.
''The sums would not come out
right. He tried to prove them and
they wouldn't prove. 'Oh DEAR he said,
what hard lesson this is
''The pencil went on working as hard
as it could. Whatever julius directed
it to put down on the paper, it did. And
then as soon as it had written a few
figures-just as Julius had told it to

well cooked. Watercress is one of the
most appetizing of greens, if we'll
washed in salted water to remove any
insects it may be served simply with
salt as a garnish for chops or with
French dressing as a salad.
Grapefruit SaIad.-Separate the sec
tions of grapefruit, using care not to
lose the juice, mix with nuts of any
kind and serve with French dressing
on lettuce leaves. The juice may be
used with the oil, with a little lemon
juice or vinegar to make the dressing,
so that nothing is wasted.
Birmingham SaIad.-Arrange head
lettuce with two slices of choice pine
apple, with ball of cream cheese in
the center of each slice. 1t is well to
cut the pineapple, making it easier
for eating, yet the arrangement may
be the same. Use the following dress
ing: Heat a half cupful of the pine
apple juice and the juice of half a
lemon in a double boiler. Beat the
yolks of four eggs, add a tablespoon
full Of sugar, and a fourth of tea
spoonful Of salt, gradually beat in the
hot liquid and return the whole to
cook over hot water until thickened.
When cold and ready to use add whip
ped cream to make of the consistency
desired.
Spring SaIad.-Make nests of shred
ded lettuce and arrange on these a
slice of cucumber, a few slices of rad
ish, unpeeled, a sprinkling of chopped
chives or finely shredded green onion,
serve with French dressing. Cress
may be used in place of the lettuce.

Seeds Used as Fuel.

Hundreds of tons of peach and
apricot seeds, which have been thrown
away every season heretofore by the
canning factories in the great fruit
districts of California, are now sold
as fuel and bring $3.50 a ton retail.
Formerly the seeds were considered
too hard for fuel, but recently it was
found that when heated in a stove
burning hard coal they soon pop open
and ignite, after which they burn with
an intense glow like that of anthra-
cite, and are practically smokeless, be-
sides holding a fire well.-Popular Me-
chanics Magazine.

This enables these rooms to have WIN
dOws facing in two directions and in
sures plentiful supply of air in the
sleeping rooms. Such an arrangement
makes these rooms almost as health
full for sleeping purposes as a sleeping
porch and it also provides an abun'
dance of freshening sunshine during
the daytime. Each bedroom is fur
nfshed with ample closet space, which
is always a good feature to incorpor.
ate in the house. These closets are
especially desirable because of the
windows.
The bath is placed between the two
bedrooms, an ideal arrangement made
possible by the back hall. 1t is seldom
that the arrangement of this part OF
the house can be worked out in a
more desirable manner than that which
is shown here.
The living room is bright, cheerful
room, due to the arrangement of win
dows. There are three wide windows
facing the porch and two more on the
side-one on each side of the fireplace.
The living room can be reached either
through the reception hall or through
door opening from a side porch. 1t
is connected to. the dining room by a
wide cased opening.
A double acting door leads back
from the dining room to the kitchen.
This room is fitted with all of the lat

A work table is placed directly under
the larger of the two windows in this
room. The refrigerator may be placed
on one side of this table and the cup
board is built in on the other side. In

opening to the clothes chute is placed

more masculine than a party frock is.
1t is made trouser fashion, with the
full trousers plated to a shapely
blouse; it is well tailored and fastens
with bone buttons across the back.
The fastening at the back is covered
by a wide belt. Nothing about 1t can

Old French Weather Vanes.

In France the original weather vanes
were metal reproductions of knightly
banners or pennons bearing their own
ers' heraldic devices and set upon the
towers, and, like pennOns, indicated
the direction of danger, or a summons
to victory, fight or a frolic, a warning
or call, according to whether the day
was to be fair or foul. An English,
not a French, writer it was who first
compared a vane to "the uncertain
