He waited for his answer. Then she
looked up, blushing still, but with a
smile trembling on her lips.

SUCCUMB TO ARCTIC TENSION
cessfully Resist Peculiar Psyche
logical Effects.

In a paper dealing with the Univer-
sity of Oxford expedition to Siberia OF
which he was a member, H. U. Hall Of
the University of Pennsylvania refer
red to the striking psychological eff
fects of long daylight and long dark
ness in high ATTITUDES, the Scientific
American states.
AS to the former, apart from the
tendency to shorten sleeping hours in
order to make the greatest possible
use Of the long day, there seems to be
a kind of stimulation OF the nervous
system, urging people to feverlsh
and purposeless activity. This Is
especially noticed in newcomers, but
the natives are not exempt from It.
On the other hand, the coming Of the
long winter night Is followed by kind
of reaction, though no general depres-
sion Of vitality Is apparent.
With the cessation Of work the
period Of sociability begins, and the
circumstances favor lapse Of self
control. This is the time when "Arctlc
hysteria" is likely to show itself. Such,
for instance, Is form Of hysterical
seizure for which the fungus have a
special name, in which the patient
sings improvisations of his own which
are likely to contain absurd exagger-
atoms or laughable Qualifications Of

Kitchen Is compact and convenient
and that Is all kitchen need be.
Upstairs are three large bedrooms.
sewing room, bath, and numerous COM
modious closets. These closets are
commodious with respect to floor area
but cramped for height. They occupy
the low space under the roof, but do
not continue to the point where the
rafters join the plate.
The only foot of waste space in the
house is in the upstairs hall and that
unused space is limited in area.
Unused Space Costly.
In many homes a considerable per-
centage Of the enclosed space is of no
practical value, but the cost of such
space is just as great as though it
were available for manifold uses.
In home planning and home building
and the idea of building home or
the desire to plan one Is dormant or
active in every normal persOn-the
chief trouble arises from endeavor to
associate ideas that are incompatible.
Many home builders seek to use the
feature ideas of many houses and that
Is utterly impossible for the ideas are
dissimilar and cannot be put together
without disregarding cost or sacrific-
ing appearance.
In building a home the thought
should be borne In mind that every
cubic foot Of enclosed space repre-
sents fraction Of the cost. In actual
practice the cost ranges from Is to 80
cents per cubic foot. If, due to care
less or impractical arrangement, the
space is not disable 1t represents
dead loss, and that fact will become
painfully evident to the owner if ever
the house is placed on the market.
These practical ideas Of value
should be kept in mind when examin-
ing plan with view to its adoption.
or In making up tentative plans from
which the final design is to be made.

"All right, then. Caroline Warren,
you listen to me. I'll give you till 2
o'clock to make up your mind to take
the money that belongs to you. If you

answer, but the back door closed with
a tremendous bang.
Half an hour after his dramatic exit
Captain Elisha was pacing up and
down the floor Of the barn. 1t was an
old refuge of his, place where he was
accustomed to go when matters requir-
ing deliberation and thought oppressed
him. AS he turned in his stride he
saw a shadow move across the sill Of
the big, open door. He caught his
breath and stopped.
Caroline entered the barn. She came
straight to him and put her hands upon
the lapels Of his coat. Her eyes were
wet and shining.

He was a silversmith and an emigrant
from the old country. He must have
been man of some consequence, for
in addition to mintmaster he became
town treasurer of Boston, captain Of
an artillery company and finally treas

coined silver shillings, sixpences and
thripences, all Of which had design

First American COINAGE,

There never was a branch Of the
United States mint at Boston, but in
early colonial days there was a mint
there which coined money by authority
of Massachusetts, permitted, of course,
or at least not forbidden by Great Brit
ain. On May 81, 1862, the general

The prospective homebuilder should
bear in mind that it is his home that
Is to be planned and built. He and
the members of his family will be the
first to occupy it and it may be hand
ed down to his children to the fourth
and fifth generation.
On the other hand a change In en-
ployment or circumstances may make
1t advisable to sell.
So, when building or looking over
plans keep those two thoughts in mind,
for they are the factors by which the
worth of your investment Is governed.
"What a beautiful home!" exclaims
the passerby. A neighbor confirms
that thought but adds that the interior
is poorly arranged; that the resources
of owner and architect seemingly were
exhausted when the exterior was
planned.
Further down the street Is a house
with a dreary and uninviting exterior
appearance which has a convenient

Practical Features Combined.
In the home here illustrated many
practical features are combined. The
rooms are large, conveniently arranged
and well lighted. The exterior is at
tractive.
This home may not suit you in every
particular, but then you are reading
plans to get ideas and you get one, or
a part of one, from every plan you
examine and one day you will find all
of your ideas combined in just the way
you want them combined, and that will
be your house.
All worthy ideals are worth striving
for and your ideal of home certainly
is worth the effort it will cost you to
secure or produce it.
Why not take this design and ex-
anime it in the light of modern ideas
and compare and contrast it with your
ideals.

arrangements possibly could be made,

Entering we find a large living room,

day houses. This measures up to the
current standard. The staircase Is
