One of Its chief points Is the library hall, with starcase hall separate. The exterior hns a very pleasing effect and gives an air of great roominess to the dwelling largely through the shape of the roof, which Is built to a point. The library hns a wood mantel and bay window front. To the left of the FRONT ELEVATION. hall Is the parlor, with a double win dow facing the porch and another win dow on the Jeft side of the house. The dining room is lighted by a double and single window and has n wood mantel, with mirror. The staircase hall is in the roar of the library hall. There Is an excellent store closet In the kitchen, with shelves ant! a window for light and ventilation. In back of the kitch en is n porch, with stair to the yard.

Mr. James Shnckleton won first prize for an article on "Dow to Get Fertile Eges" offered by American Poultry Journal. Upon request of the editor Mr. Slwciiletoa offered the fallowing on how to feed te get eggs: Our Wynndottes are fed balnnced ra tions so compounded that the total foods served each day have approxi mately one to four nutritive ratio, out side forage being disregarded In the balancing, because It is usually perfect ly balanced In Itself. By a nutritive ra tio of one to four we mean that the carbohydrates and fats in the food are four times the weight of the protein and also that the rations are mnde up from foods of animal, grain and vege table origin. The animal foods used are tnlmal meals, fresh cut bone and pure raw ground bone. The grain foods used are wheat, corn, onts, bran and other byproducts of milling processes. Of these we buy and use whatever ap pears to be cheapest at any particular time, having regard to its nverage an alysis, and we hnve never found any other reason to prefer any one grain or mill prodnct over another. The vege table foods In summer are refuse cab bage leaves, lettuce, turnip tops ot anything similar that happens to be available; in winter, anything procura ble of this .nature, but our main reli ance is on clover meal. We feed only twice per day all the year round, with an occasional meal at midday in the coldest and stormiest weather. The working meal'is whole grain scattered on the ground in sum mer, scattered in scratching shed litter In winter. The evening meal is mois tened mash of milling products, animal food and vegetable food. As to quantity of food, little useful can be said, for size, age and breed call for great changes in that respect, and even another flock of Wynndottes might do well on different quantities than we serve. The only measure of quantity we have Is to get the birds Into laying condition and keep them so, neither gaining nor losing weight. The quantity we serve for the morning meal varies between one quart in sum mer, one and one-half quarts in moder ate winter to two quarts in coldest weather. The evening mash before moistening varies betweeu two quarts In summer, two and one-half quarts In moderate winter to three quarts lp coldest weather. These quantities nre for twenty-five adult Wynndottes. all females layintr. With these rations we find it easy to get at least 200 eggs per year per hen, provided they are not permitted to spend much time hatching. Of course other matters of maintenance are Im perative as well as proper rations. A Novel Incnhntor limine. The above Illustration shows the in cubator house made and used by Mrs. Ituth Morris on her farm near Falrha ven, Kan. The house is what Is known In that part of the country as n "sod MRS. MORRIS AND HER SOD nOtJSE. house." Large blocks of mud are dried In the sun and then placed on top of one another, with a soft mixture be tween, very much after the manner of erecting nn ordinary brick building. Across the top timbers are placed, which are covered with sod, then a layer of mud, upon which is placed an other covering of sod. After the build ing Is erected it is washed off with wa ter to close all cracks and crevices; then grass nnd flower seeds are scat tered all over it, and In a short time the structure has a beautiful covering of green nnd gray, here and there stud ded with beautiful blossoins. These houses are dry, clean nnd comfortable. Mnny farmers use them for dwellings, while the stables and barns nre slral Inrly constructed.

A grent Swedish statesman once said that the world is governed too much. Whether true or not of states, the mot is certainly true in many cases of chil dren. How often has a bright boy, full of life and energy, been spoiled by the very efforts conscientious, pains taking, but incessant, overanxious, fussy of his parents or tutors to train him "well! In their anxiety to make h I mi n m nil o I n f virtue thev allow him hardly any freedom or opportunity to , do wrong and, being kept continually in leading strings, unexposed to temp- j tntions, the triumphant conflict with j which would teach him self reliance and strengthen his moral backbone, he becomes a moral weakling. Hoys thus stuffed with advice and fettered in their action resemble a boy rightly reared no more than n chicken trussed on a spit resembles a fowl In the field. Some parents do not seem to know that there is such a thing as wearing out the conscience of a child by ex treme pressure and overstimulation. A shrewd old English lady was once asked what she would recommend in the case of children who had been too carefully educated. She replied, "A little wholesome neglect." The Up to Date Hnlr. It Isn't correct any more to have things daintily pretty for the newborn baby just In order to have them dainti ly pretty. It Is no longer the proper thing to swathe the little body in yards and yards of muslin and lace and put him to bed In billows of down and silk perfumed with rose or violet. Up to date mothers no longer vie with each other on the point of delicate elabora tion. They do not vie nt all any more. Their one object Is to mnke every thing as sanitary and comfortable as possible for the newcomer. Sometimes they give a sigh for the pretty bow or frill of lace; but, after nil, everything in the new fashion looks so .clean nnd sensible and wholesome they come to see the other Avns only n perverted taste nnd take no pleasure in it. Things hnve advanced in the last few years. The nursery is one of them. Marsha Houk in Woman's Home Companion. now to One Glycerin. Since so many people use pure glycer in for the skin, a word of caution seems necessary. If you apply a little glycerin to the tip of the tongue, you will find that, although It has a pleasant, sweet taste, the first sensation that Is felt is one of pain and burning. This is because glyc erin has a strong affinity for water and absorbs all moisture from the surface which It touches, thus drying up nnd parching the nerves. Ignorant of this fact nurses and mothers sometimes apply pure glycerin to the chnfed skin of infants, doiug harm instead of good. The glycerin ought to have been first mixed with nn equal bulk of water. Elder flower wa ter or rosewater can be used instead of ordinary water If preferred. This be ing done, It may be applied to the most tender surfaces. DUcnntcnl of "Women. " Women nre more discontented thnn men ns a rule, snys Elln Wheeler Wil cox In Success. A man's discontent Is more frequently constructive, a wom an's destructive. I hnve known mnny women who mnde a constant outcry agalust the cares of housekeeping and who ns soon ns they nbnndoned these cares mourned for the lost comforts of the home, women who craved travel and hated Its discomforts the moment they set forth, women who craved the mountains when nt the seashore and the seashore when on the mountains. What pitiful targets for their own boomerangs they will be in their old age! For whnt is more dreadful thnn old age which has not learned repose or calm or the contentment of pa. tience?

A Nebraska Judge was asked how it was that the citizens of his-state were nicknamed "bug eaters." ".The name is applied to us some-, times In the enst," answered the Judge frankly. "It originated many years ago In a peculiar way, Incident to a speech. Hack In 1S74 a swarm of grass hoppers descended upon our fair state and despoiled everything. Crops were swept away before this army or in sects, and the people were left desti tute. An appeal went up for nld, and some of our eloquent Nebraskans jour neyed east to plead our cause. One of these eloquent citizens in a flight of speech declared that the voracious grasshoppers had even eaten the tires off wagon wheels and were devouring the railroad tracks. 'Why, our people have nothing but grasshoppers and bugs,' was the climax of this orator's speech!" exclaimed the Judge. "And now you have the history of the sobriquet of 'bug eaters,' " be con cluded. Washington Tost. An Old Superxtltlnn. Superstition connected with the sev enth child of a seventh child Is com memorated by- a tombstone In a village churchyard near Hrldgewater, Somer set This inscription runs: "Sacred to the memory of Doctress Anne I'ouns berry, who departed this life Dec. 11, 1S13, aged seventy-three years. Stand still nnd consider the wondrous works of God." Doctress was not merely nnJ epithet, but a baptismal name, for she was a seventh dnughter of a seventh dnughter and was therefore credited with powers of healing. She practiced in herbs and cbnrms. For king's evil this was her prescription: "Take the legs of a toad. Bake and grind them to powder with pestle and mortar. Place the powder in u bag around the neck of the sufferer." London Chronicle. Antiquity of Glnnn. So far as research has been nble to determine glass was in use 2,000 years before the birth of Christ and was even then not in Its infancy by any manner of means. In the Slade collec tion at the British museum there is the head of a lion molded in glass, bearing the name of an Egyptian king of the eleventh dynasty. This Is the oldest specimen of pure glass bearing any thing like a date now known to exist The Invention now known ns "bleez ing," the mode of varnishing pottery with n thin film of glass, is believed to date back to the first Egyptian dynas ty. Proof of this Is found in the pot tery beads, glass glazed, found in the tombs of the age above referred to.
