It Is large, roomy and sensible. This house looks well when it la new; and it never will go out of fashion, because there are no faddy notions worked Into It, and it is so thoroughly well built that it will defy time and the elements for a good many years. I have known of many . instances where fancy fashions were carried Into house building to such an extent that I should rather have the mate rials that were used in building than the house after it is finished. With the exception of a better arrangement of the partitions to economize room and increase comfort, this style of house has been built for twenty or thirty years, and it has always been popular. Such houses sell readily. especially when they are built in a good residence section of the town. A house as large as this, practically 27 by 45 feet, should have a lot at least 50 feet wide. The appearance of a good-sized house Is often In jured by placing it on a narrow lot. Then is no sense in economizing at the wrong place. A 50-foot lot may cost one or two hundred dollars more than a 40-foot lot; but in five years' time, if the neighborhood improves, as good residence neighborhoods usually do, the owner would consider a couple of hundred- dollars a very small compensation for a slice of ten feet taken from one Side of his hand some lot. This is one of the side is sues in building that some men are prone to overlook. Successful men are the ones-who look ahead a few years ; before making their final ar rangements to build. One of the first considerations be fore starting to build is the drainage. On this account an elevation is worth a great deaL The sewers may cost nearly as much per lot on high ground as they do through the lower sections of the town, because usually the lots are wider, although the diameter of the sewer may be considerable less. Sewers start from the higher levels, and Increase in size as they go down hill. Those living on the lower lots may have 'plenty of outlet; but I have First Floor Plan. noticed that new sewers are needed oftener, and extensive repairs are a great deal more aggravating, in the hollows than they are on the hills. 'There is only one sewer objection that I know of on the higher ground, and that is that the air In the sewers has a habit of moving to the highest points of escape. This Is not always th.e case, but I have often noticed in passing sewer openings that there is' quite an outward draught of disa greeable, steamy sewer odors that Is anything but pleasant. I have noticed this on lower ground, but I think it '9 a great deal more common on the hills. I do not know that this escap ing sewer steam is detrimental to health. As a usual thing, plumbers are supposed to get rather more than their share of sewer perfume, but so far as I know they are a very healthy lot of fellows. At the same time, If I knew that a sewer opening would act as a ventilator, I should very much prefer moving my house a block or two away from It; but, as Josh Billings used to say: VThem Is ,some uv the things that no feller kin find out."

It was established in Berlin in 1909 and the growth of the movement to have dental inspection in the schools has been phenonmenal. Germany esti mates its loss in vitality through de fective teeth to be more than $50,000, 000 per year, despite the fact that about 200 dental clinics have been established. Teachers in the public schools have been of great help in II . I jrrrifi moan I we have to take- some chances. The man who builds a house is no exception. This plan Is especially designed for a good-sized family, where there are several children. There should be children In every family, and there should be plenty of house accommoda tion to make things pleasant and com fortable for them. They should have their bedrooms to themselves as much as possible, and the rooms should be famished to their liking.

Then buy a good flag, and help the "kids" to hoist it every holiday, but especially the morning of the Fourth of July. It will give them a lesson in patriotism thatthey will never forget. These little Instances are remem bered In after years. They help to tie the interest of growing children to the home. Arrange a playground for the chll- dren In the backyard. Give them a corner with a load or two of sharp sand. Put a cover over the sand pile If you can afford it, but give them the sand pile anyway. It will be worth a great deal to the "kids" In health, and it will save you a great deal of anxiety, and probably some expense in doctor's bills. Build them another playhouse in the attic for stormy days. Don't you remember, when you were a "kid,"- how you used to enjoy playing in the woodshed on rainy days? The neighbors' youngsters came in and helped to raise a great row, and your mother usually put up with it patiently. Well, .we haven't got any woodsheds now; firewood trees are all burned up, and we don't need much of a building to hold coal; but we still have the children, and we can make comfortable .playrooms for them If wa have thn Inclination tn rin so. Rainy days are long days ror children, unless they have some place to go other than the kitchen or the living room. They love to make all the noise they feel like making. Phoebe Is Cautious. The other day in my walk I came upon two phoebes' nests under over hanging rocks, both with half fledged young in them, and in neither case were the parent birds In evidence. They did not give their secret away by setting up the hue and cry that nesting birds usually set up on such occasions. I finally saw them, as si lent as shadows, perched near by, with food In their beaks, which they finally swallowed as my stay was prolonged. And the nests, both on a level with my eye, were apparently filled only with a motionless mass -of bluish mold. As I gently touched them, In stead of four or five heads with open mouths springing up, the young only settled lower in the nest and disposed themselves in a headless, shapeless mass. The phoehe is evidently a very cautious bird, though no birds are more familiar about our porches and outbuildings. John Burroughs In the Atlantic Monthly. Midnight Oils. .

I I I - r V N WVVftVVSWWVrWWWVUWW, FORGAVE EACH OTHER By DONALD ALLEN. The current of love between Miss Fdnny Drew and Mr. Randolph Aik ens was running along so smoothly as to be almost vexatious. Any old maid or old bachelor will tell you that a tiff now and then between two peo ple in love adds spice to it There are people who wonder If Adam and Eve quarreled. Of course they did. They were rushed at each other even without an introduction, and there was no squeezing hands or walks beneath tho silvery moon. Adam was grouching around the gar den by his lonesome when he caught sight of Eve peeking out from behind a lilac bush and he called out: 'Here, you woman, come along here and quit your fooling!" It wasn't a fair shake nor a square deal, and the more one thinks of it the more he wonders that love is the sentiment that we find it "They have been loving and have been engaged over a year," said the mother of the young man in this af fair, that took place later on than Adam's by several years, "and they haven't had a falling out yet" 'Then they'll never marry never!" was the reply. 'I'm afraid not" 'Because, when a woman really loves a man she wants to get In a dig at him once in awhile!" "She does." "She wants to let him know about twice a month that he isn't the only man on this green earth not by a long shot!" 'That's it" 'And he wants a chance to get jeal ous over nothing, and to stump around and tear down trees and write letters and call her a perfidious wretch." "He surely doeB." 'And after she has sent him back his letters and the engage-ring, and both have lost a heap of sleep and called themselves idiots, they come sneaking around and make up and love each other twice as well as they did before. I ."That's just it" "If I was in your place, Mrs. Aikens, I d advise Randolph to pick a quarrel. If I was the mother of Fanny I'd ad vise her the same. They'll never get married if this thing goes on as placid as molasses running down hilL" No advice was given, however. It was not needed. There is a divinity whose job it is to look out that love matches do not become too draggy and insipid, and she hit the trail of Randolph Aikens within 40 days after his mother had expressed her worries. While Miss Fanny Drew was fair to look upon, and was considered a catch, the young man had no trouble In shouldering other aspirants aside and having the field to himself. Things were Jogging along at an easy gait when the young lady's cous in came on from the west and brought Rocky Mountain breeze with him. He was young and happy and hand some, and he had a ranch on which the cattle were as thick as flies about a sugar bowL It was announced by some kind-hearted person that he had come on to marry Miss Fanny and bear her hence to the land of alkali. If the rumor was denied no one heard of the denial. Young Aikens met the "wild and woolly" and they were Introduced and snooa nanas. , ine westerner was breezy. He was a hustler. He talk ed straight from the shoulder. He as serted he was after a bride to share the scenery with him and eat her por tion of grass-fed beef that roamed on a hundred hills,-and he added that he gave himself just two weeks to fall In love, appear before the minister and pack his trunk and scoot for the west with his bride on his arm. Toung Aikens had a half-Interest in a gent's furnishing store, and he could not reconcile $4 silk scarfs with jack boots and slouch hats. After 30 sec-' onds' consideration he concluded to hate his cousin. Five minutes later he had decided to quarrel with Miss Fanny, and he be gan: "Wouldn't it been an act of consideration to have told me you were engaged to him?" "Randolph, what are you talking about?" she exclaimed. "Your marriage with that steer chaser from the west!" "My cousin? Why do you speak of him In that way? Tom Is a breezy, whole-souled fellow." "And you will probably be very hap py with him." "Have you taken this silly gossip in earnest?" "It may be silly gossip, but from the way he looks at you " "Why, he's my own cousin." "Yes?" V j "And we used to play together as children!" . ".Ah!" ' - "Mr. Aikens, will you kindly explain what that 'ah' was meant to signify?" asked the girl as 'she drew herself up and ceased to smile. "If you will kindly tell me the date of the wedding I will be out of town at HAD HIS REBUKE COMING Old Lady Gives Effective Reply to Alleged Smart Remark of Youth ' ful Smoker. The youth was puffing away at a pipe, despite the pained expression on the old lady's face. "Young man," she barked, so far as her coughing would permit her, "do you know that it's wrong to smoke?" "Well," replied the lad as he blew a wreath of smoke, "I use tobacco for my health." "Health!" ejaculated the victim, in spluttering tones. "Nonsense! You never heard of anyone being cured by smoking." "res I have," declared the youth, still, puffing away like a furnace chim ney. "That's the way they cure pigs." "Then smoke away," cried the vic tim. "There may be hope for you yet" Are the trains too slow for you? Caesar, with all of his court, never exceeded the speed limit Geologist of Repute.

She turned from him and walked away, and half a minute later he was kicking himself for a born fool. There was the "tiff," that his mother was hoping for, and from the looks of things it would last considerably long er than a full moon. Randolph had deliberately provoked the quarrel, as he had to admit to himself, and if there was any feeling of satisfaction It rested with some one else. The trouble with a lover in cases of' this sort is that he is not content with; making a donkey of himself. He must' be two or three of them.

LESSON TEXT Deut. 34:1-12. GOLDEN TEXT "Precious In sight of Jehovah is tha death of saints." Ps. 116:15. the his I. The Old Leader, vv. 1-8. We have now come to the last of our lessons which have to do with Moses. Fol lowing his lamented failure at the time of the second arrival at Kadesh Barnea, Miriam dies; at Mt. Hor, Aaron departed and his office is be stowed upon his son, Eleazar. Then quickly followed the plague of ser pents, the defeat of the king of the Amorites, Balaam's folly, the apostasy of Israel which was cleansed by blood through the zeal of Phinehas, and final ly the arrival upon the plains of Moab. i I Law Confirmed. Here Moses repeats and confirms the law to this new generation of Israel, delivers his last charge, sings his last song, ascends Mt Nebo to view Canaan, and Is "forever with the Lord." In the passage marked out for this lesson we have the account of the passing of this wonderful servant of God. Returning to ch. 31:1-8 and 32:44-52 we see this journey in pros pect, after that we read Moses' parting blessing and in this section we read of the. fulfilment of that prospect Moses anticipated his departure by a quiet dignity, absolutely divorced from haste' or fret, that was characteristic of his life of submission. and was the essence of his life of faith. No pro test, no complaint, calm acquiescence to the will of God. At the same time there was absolute confidence that the will of God would be, carried out, see ch. 31: 1-8. Strength and courage were to be the portion of Israel under their new leader, Joshua. Before departure MoBes solemnly charged this newer generation to ob serve the law, declaring, that it is not a vain nor an empty thing, but In deed and in truth to them the. way of life. Then comes the simple dignified ac count of this last act of obedience, sim ple, yet sublime. Yonder we see him, viewed by the hosts of Israel, as he ascends the mountain alone yet not alone prepared to spend his last hours upon earth with Jehovah, who doubtless appeared as the angel Jehovah and pointed out to him the land he so much longed to enter, but could not because he failed to sanctify God in the sight of the people, at a critical moment .Taking the glory to himself on that occasion demanded an act of punishment as a warning to the people, hence, "it went ill with Moses for their sakes," J?s. 106:32. There upon the mount God's covenant with Abraham is confirmed and with undimmed eye and undiminished vigor (v. 7), Moses was shown the fufil ment of that promise, his body was laid at rest by God himself, in an un known and unmarked sepulchre, "over against Beth-Peor," v. 6, and the chil dren of Israel mourned for him thirty days. The sight from the mountain top revealed to Moses was not to tan tallzbe him, far from It, but rather that as he viewed that prospect he was to be rewarded for those forty years of leadership and Btruggle. Jehovah's promise of more than four hundred years' standing is about to be fulfilled ; shall hot all others be fulfilled? (Titus 1: 2). . - II. The New Leader, v. 9. God never leaves his people without a leader and hence Joshua is exalted to com pensate Israel for the loss of Moses. "The king Is dead long live the king." The worker dies, the work goes on andmany times the victories of the new leader are fully as great and far reaching as any won by the former leader. Joshua was not Moses, he was Joshua and as such called to face new problems. He had his own equipment, "the spirit of wisdom" re ceived through Moses, the channel of God's power (v. 9), and was given his own particular instruction, Josh. 1: 1-9. He was called of God but he had the experience and training of Moses to prepare him for his life's work. The children of Israel gave this new leader a cheering reception; (1) they listened to him; (2) they obeyed him, a thing they had not always done for- Moses Joshua was not so great as Moses be cause his work was not so great III. A Great Character, vv. 10-12. The description of Moses is of one who saw Jehovah face to face, a peculiar dig nity, and the secret of his greatness. When Aaron and Miriam murmured God declared that Moses was ditferent from all other prophets in that, "with him will I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not In dark speeches. and the form of Jehovah shall he be hold.v Num. 12:6-8. Moses himself declared to Israel that when God spoke to them out of the midst of the fire, "I Btood between the Lord and you," Deut 6:4, 5. The supreme teaching of this lesson is the fact that rreat as Moses was, he was never theless excluded from the promised land as a warning to Israel. On the other hand this story is a wonderful illustration of the tender compassion and watchful care of Jeho vah even to the end. Even the discip line 'of Jehovah is accompanied by gentleness. If he must needs' be ex cluded yet he Is not excluded from communion with Jehovah. Thus this saint who was separated to the will of God passes out of life. In the hour Of the consummation of his life work his spirit passes into yet closer fellowship with God. The Psalmist in the words of the golden text most beautifully suggests that such an hour is a delight to God, and suggests the welcome which must be awaiting his saints. Do not forget the last glorious appearing of Moses after the lapse of the centuries when: "On the hills he never trod Spoke of the strlg-e that won our life "With the Incarnate Son of Qod." "Death and judgment were a con stant source of fear to me until I real ized that neither shall have any hold on the child of God." D. L. Moody: Do not put death out of consideration, but welcome it as Moses welcomed it. When we stand on Pisgah, can we say we did our full duty? In that hour the plaudits of men will be stilled. Moses was a great hero, prophet priest, law-giver, poet and general, yet Israel could erect no monument over his grave to do him honor. It was a greater honor -to follow his admonitions and obey the law. COULDN'T FOOL MR.

The honey that comes out of a bee tree Is not always as sweet as the old-' time compliment, "sweet as a bee tree," might lead one to suppose, The bees that run wild do not seem to have the fine taste in nectar that their do mesticated cousins 'have. Sometimes there are poisonous spots in wild hon ey at' least there are legends to that effect and often, if the colony is old and the comb large, the honey is black as night . , ,' , But the bee-hunter now, alas, to be classed with professionals that have passed on, cared little about discolora tion and worried not at all about poi son.
