In all modern homes are combined
much earnest thought, improved meth
eds of construction, the proper kinds
of materials and suitable equipment
and fittings.
A home that is INTELLECTUALLY and
physically right is one of life's great
est achievements.
If possible do not make the mis-
take of building the first home for
practice. Home building is an ex-
pensive pastime and the home builder
assumes moral responsibility, for the
mere transfer of title to a house does
not rectify any of it's defects in ap-
pearance or arrangement. They are
perpetually in evidence, a tangible
monument to the builders lack of I'M
derstanding OF problem he made a
half-hearted effort to solve.
Homes should be concrete express
sions of individual taste, tempered,
harmonized and justified by compe-
tent architect. The architect knows
how one of your ideas will appear as
part of your home, whereas you think
of it as it appeared when a part of
something else.
Cost-Gauge the cost of the home
by the depth of the pocketbook. Keep
the contract price as far as possible

LISTEN TO THE BLACKSMITH
Ayers That His Equine Friends Are
as Proud Of New Shoes as
Little Boys.

We happened to hold converse with
horseshoer the other day. He is a
veteran who can remember the day
when he not only had to forge his
own shoes, but even the nails that
tackled them on. He says that horses
are like little boys. Some of them are
intensely proud of new pair of shoes.
He mentioned one mare that tries to
turn in at the shop door every time
she passes. She is so fond of the
feel of new shoes that she fairly
Frances when she leaves the shop.
Then he told about the old Doctors
old mare that would come by herself
to the shop whenever she was loose.
Il always had to pick up her shoes
and look at them,' said the smith. "If
happened to be busy, she would hang
around for an hour and wait for me to
examine her feet. If any work was
needed I did it, and charged it up to
the DOCTOR If her shoes were all
right, 1 would give them a few taps
with the hammer, and then the old
girl was satisfied" The smith thinks
that mares are prouder than geldings
of a new pair of shoes. He attributes
this to natural feminine good sense,
rather than vanity. We don't vouch
for the truth Of his anecdotes, but we
will say that it is hard to find more
interesting man than this blacksmith
or any blacksmith. He is always q
good story-teller, and we imagine that
the rhythmic ring of hammer on iron
develops his imagination.-Farm Life

retake Verdun, and why the French
are equally determined to hold it.
The most important development
OF Charles reign was the Reform
alton, which has been characterized
by many authorities as next to
Christianity itself i'm the influence
it has had ON the history of the
world The Reformation was largely
a religious revolution against the
power of the papacy, but it carried
with it many other changes such
as the revival of learning and the
liberation of though all along the
line So much so that this point in
the 18th century marks a dividing
line between the medieval world or
Middle Ages and the modern world.
1t was to a large extent revolt OF
nothern Europe against the domin-
alton of Latin races
We need not go into the matter
further than to say that Germany
was the leader in the Reformation
and Martin Luther was the chief
of it, though there were many
others, in Germany and elsewhere;
who also helped it ON. From that
time on, the German emperors no
longer looked to the pope for their
coronation
There had long been fierce popu-
lar dissensions over religious mat
ters, and these and other differences
led to the terrible Thirty Years
war. This, occurring early in the
10Th century, was at first a relig-
ious war between the Protestants
and Catholics, but it developed in
to a struggle for political ascend
ancy in Europe.
During this war Christian of
Denmark, and later the great Gust
avus Adolphus of Sweden, came
down into Germany to aid their
Protestant co-religionists. Germany
suffered greatly by this extended
warfare, i'm which her own people
were fighting each other.
The peace of Westphalia, which
ended the war, guaranteed various
popular rights to the Germans, but
her neighbor France got the bulk
of the benefits. Germany came out
completely disunited, with, her ter
ritory ravaged and her trade gone.
This was the very object of Richie
lieu, the French premier; who had
engineered the matter.
