USE FOR THE OLD MATERIAL
Secondhand Lumber and Other Build
ing Necessaries Can Be Picked
Up for Little Money.

One Of the most interesting and prof
liable ways in which one who contem-
plates building house and wants to
economize i'll doing it can spend an
hour or more is in one of the eStab-
lishments devoted to the buying and
selling of secondhand building mate
rials.
There is one which is particularly in
viting to "prowlers." 1t faces on two
streets in al out-of-the-way part Of
the city and consists Of number Of
old buildings with yards between, in
which there is an overflow of old
statues, columns of porches, metal
spouting, garden seats and other
"junk" One could pick up many a
thing here that could be incorporated
in a new-old house, but inside the
buildings there is q greater wealth to
choose from. Here one may find hard
wood floors, as good as new, taken
from houses that have been torn down
to make way for larger and more mod
ern structures. Here are beautifully
carved mantelS of marble and wood,
some Of them having cost hundreds Of
dollars, which can be purchased as
cheaply as commonplace one that was
turned out from the factory yesterday.
There are doors and castings of beauti-
full wood, bookshelves with glass doors,
ceilings, cabinets Of all kinds, side
boards, windows, bath tubs and all
bathroom fittings; sinks, tubs and all
the paraphernalia for the kitchen. 1t
is hard to think Of anything that is
needed in the construction of house
that is not here or Of anything that is
here which would not fit in some kind
of house

Congestion of traffic on street and

Grafton leading to this conclusion, re-
marks Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Time and convenience are also essen
tial. Plans for connecting adjacent
skyscrapers by means Of aerial tram
cars running on cables and operated
by haulage cables, such as are used to
connect several peaks of the Alps, have
been proposed to meet this problem.

Experiments have been made with
rice hulls in combination with differ

yet the initial cost Of the various bind

PLANNING FOR SPRING WORK
Wintry Days Aid In Mapping Out
Landscaping to Be Done Very
Early in the Season.

The dreary days Of winter cause
many to reflect on how much more
beautiful they could have made their
grounds the past summer, and already
plans are being laid for landscaping
the. coming spring.
All landscape gardening should eX-
press some thought or feeling and q
deep study of the site and surround
ings should reveal upon what specific
foundation the theme should be built.
If for a home place for man well
along in years, retired from business,
it should have an air Of quietness, Sc
cluSion and retirement. This concep-
tion would be most easily realized on
q country place Of some acres and
would more closely conform to nature
than any other type. Fortunately this
would wreak few changes In the ma
tural aspect and would closely ap-
proach the ideal in landscape or ma
tural gardening as distinguished from
other and more formal or picturesque
styles.
Landscapes may also be bold or gay,
or even florid-perhaps lurid, says a
landscape gardener; but when they
get to be too bizarre it passes out of
the realm Of landscape gardening,
which is to either build close to nature
or merely assist nature in touching up
bare spots or insufficient and unsatis'
factory effects in the existing wildness-
When the process is finished it should
present a picture, a perfect picture,
The true test is: VIII the artist come
to paint or to photograph? For, insofar
as you attract or repel him, just to
that degree have you succeeded or
failed. Harmony must also be the
keynote, q picture is not composed OF
q collection of interesting objects or
features except these are in harmony
Neither will change in topography or
mere planting make picture, for good
pictures are strong in character and
this is possible only in a broad com,
prehensive plan shat first considers
and treats the landscape as whole

buildings are, or should be, but Incl

A Leaking Faucet.

When the faucets IN the bathroom
or kitchen leak Or do not allow the
water to flow freely they need a new
washer, and the washers cost five
cents each, To put on the washer,
turn off the water, the rod is usually
under the sink or in the basement, and
unscrew the faucet; take off the worn
out washer and slip on new one and
turn your water on again and presto !!
