Slowly move the horseshoe with horizontal motion above the mentioned one-haif of the needle several times. taking care that it does not move back and forth, but in one direction from the center of the needle to the point for the south. Then reverse the process taking the south polarity end of the magnet and go through the same process from the center point of the needle to the north end of it. This should remagnetize, the needle so that it will be good for some time al though it is not positive that this method will keep it permanently magnetized.

 Of bird and bee song when the rivers Is a tender and melodious rhyme And when the far hills which, majestic climb
 To reach the smiling heavens, almost swoon tn the golden glory of the noon, When nature is akin to the sublime. The filmy pink and white with fragrance rare

 Close in the heart of that sweet land of hope, Hark the soft persuasion of the spring.

SMALL HOME Of
PLEASING DESIGN
Colonial Bungalow Is Type That
Will Appeal to Many.
SUITABLE FOR SMALL FAMILY
10 Economical House to Build, Yet
Has Beauty That Is Usually Found
Only in Expensive and Eiab-
crate Homes.
BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

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 inclose
two-cent stamp for reply.
Unused rooms, or rooms that are
needed only occasionally are conspicu-
Gus by their absence in modern home
building designs. Cost of construc-
ton makes it imperative that the pro-
spective home builder should select a
design that will provide him with all
the room necessary for himself and his
family, but no more. That is why
architects nowadays are planning
small homes, but are so dividing the
interiors that every inch of space will
be of Service continuously.
In connection with this article is
shown one of the newer types of
small home designs. This might be
termed a Colonial bungalow" as its
front entrance and the porch, together
with the balance of the windows, all
follow the lines of the Colonial house.
Here is small house. an ecOnomi-
cal house to build, yet 1t has the
beauty that is usually found only in
more expensive and elaborate home
building plans.
Much of the beauty of the front OF
this house is secured by the artistic
use of trellises, which cost little, but,
as will be seen, match the exterior of
the house exactly. Then, too, there is

Little Gray Nuns Of the North.

The Indian mission school at Reso-
luton, in the Mackenzie country,
Canadian Northwest, is under the
supervision of the Little Gray Nuns Of
the North. This organization has a
unique history, having been founded
In Montreal nearly two centuries ago
by group of middle-aged ladies
banded together under the leader
ship of Madame D'Youville for the
purpose of accomplishing some good
work in the world
The present name of the order was
derived from a derisive appellation
leveled at the few original members
in the beginning, for the people called
them the Gray Sisters, from the fact
that all were gray-haired and had
agreed never to marry after forming
their little association. They accepted
the title thus bestowed on them, and
adopted somber gray habit to con-
form to it.

Of romance than any other relic Of

The descent of the gully proved an
easy matter, and soon I was on the
sand beside the derelict. Sand had
heaped up around her hull, and filed
her cockpit level with the rail, and
drifted down the companion, stuffing
the little cabin nearly to the roof.
Only the bow rose free from the
white smother of sand. Whatever
wounds there were in her buried sides
were hidden. You felt that some wild
caprice of the storm had lifted her
and set her down here, not too rough
ly, then whirled away and left her
to the sand.

the artistic porch and entrance with
the small gable above at the roof line.
While this apparently is a small
house, it contains five good-sized
rooms, and bathroom, all on the
one floor. In connection with the ex-
terror view there is shown a floor
plan of the house. The building prop
er is 3S feet wide and "a feet deep.
The house is of standard frame con-
struction, set on concrete foundation
that extends up only as far as the
grade. This permits the artistic sid

the same time provides a good base
ment under the whole of the house.

other articles for outdoor wear. To

fenced an archbishop. When four
years old she was being received in
the Church by the archbishop of Cam
terbury at the chapel royal. dur
ing the service the archbishop be-
came inarticulate, and many of those
present feared he had sustained a
stroke. What had happened was this:
AS my sister was inclined to be fidg-
ETY. and troublesome, my mother had
given her packet of sugar almonds
to keep her quiet. The child was ac-
tualy sucking one of these when she
arrived at the chapel royal, but was,
of course, made to remove it. Unseen
by anyone, she managed to place an
other in her mouth. When the arch
bishop took her in his arms the child,
seeing his mouth close to hers, with
the kindest intention in the world,
took the sugar almond from her own
mouth and popped it into the arch
bishops. Never has a primate been
in a more embarrassing situation |!
Having both his arms occupied in
holding the child he could not remove
the offending almond with his fingers.
1t would be quite superfluous on my
part to point out how highly indecor-
us it would be for an archbishop to-
shall we say, to expel anything from
his mouth--in church."

CHAPTER TX.
What crusoe and | Found.

When after those poignant moments
IN the boat l met Dugald Shaw In
commonplace fashion at the table, a
sudden, queer. altogether unprece-
denied shyness seized me. I sat look
ing down at my plate with the
gaucherie of a silly child.
During the meal Mr.. Shaw asked
Captain Magnus if he had had good
sport on the other side of the island.
Captain Magnus, as usual, had seemed
to feel that time consecrated to eat
ing was wasted In conversation. At
this poipt-blank question he started con-
fusedly, suffered. and finally ex-
planned that though he had taken a rifle
he had carried along pistol cartridges,
so had come home with an empty bag.
At this moment I happened to be
looking at Cookie, who was setting
down a dish before Mr.. Tubbs. The
negro started visibly, and rolled his
eyes at Captain Magnus with aston
ishment depicted In every dusky fea-
ture. He said nothing, although wont
10 take part In our conversation as II
suited him, but / saw him shake his
great grizzled head In a disturbed and

Cold South.

From observations made within re-
cent years by Antarctic explorers, the
average temperature of the southern
hemisphere has been recalculated, as
compared with the northern one, and
the results differ, in some respects,
from those heretofore accepted. 1t
Is found that the mean temperature
south of the equator, for the entire
year, Is about two and three-quarter
degrees lower than north of the equa-
tor. But the annual variation of tenn
perature in the northern hemisphere
is twice as large as in the southern,
the summer temperature being much
higher and the winter temperature
perceptibly lower than those of the
corresponding seasons in the southern
half of the globe.
