The Secret of Building
Low Cost Houses :-
The secret is in the planning. Tn addi
tion to making a home look attractive, every
good architect puts forth his hest endeavor
in keeping down cost.
In planning a home it is very essential
to so proportion it that all material will
work out to the hest advantage. Jt is a sin
ful waste to use a 2x( where a 2.l will ans
wer every purpose. It is likewise not good
economy to use a high grade board where a
cheaper one will answer all purposes. The
proper understanding of these facts often
are the means of saving the home builder
hundreds of dollars.
A Really Good Architect Does Not
Overlook Economy.
Why waste your building funds with
hit and miss methods In addition to saving
your material, which is your money, an ar
chitect will put that artistic, linished ap
pearance to your home which is so greatly
desired.
The. best architectural sorvico in the
state is yours for the n3king. It is freo.

of the American bureau of ethnology,
sided by Professor Pence, of the Uni

long-forgotten village sites. Their In
vestigation lend to the belief that tho
original people of the middle pnrt of
the state were hunters, while thou of
the eastern part near tho timber belt,
were followers of agricultural par
suits and were skilled In the manufac

mound builders. Tho western part of
the state was u more elevated ntid

There seems to have been constant
hostility with these Indians, In which
many smnller tribes wcro exterminated.

lie came from tho Congo In mil, when
he was very ) cuing and small. At that
time ho weighed II pounds, by last
summer bo was Just six tunes n

civilized life he was kept In n brick
building facing southwest and unheal

blankets. Chocolates mid sweets poi

the special treats of Antony's dietary,

JAPANESE WAY WITH BORES
Peop'e Have a Curious Method of (Jet
ting R'd of a Caller Who Out-
stays Welcome.
Once In a long while a caller come
to one's bouse or ofllce or study and
overstays bis welcome, writes Cleland
I). McAfee, tn Forward. He of course
Is not conscious of this breach. All
he needs Is something to remind hliu
ho has stnyed long enough. So far
no device has been discovered for end
ing the call without risk of offense,
though various formulas have been
tried out. A few years ago a friend
(old a group of acquaintances that be
nhuijs received his callers standing,
and saw to It that there were no
chairs In the room. Needless to say,
tho calls wero always short. It was
the common opinion among bis listen
ers that this would be harder on him
than on the callers. Hut that was his
affair.
Perhaps the Japanese have come ns
near ns any to sowing tho problem.
A missionary to that land tells how,
when a person makes too long a call,
and apparently doesn't know It Is time
for him to leave, they stand a broom
upside down somewhero In the limine.
This Is it eharin, supposed to throw
pell over the caller, and till unknown
lo himself ho Is compelled to go home.
The broom doesn't bavo to be seen by
llio vMtor j any obscuro corner will
do, The missionary tells of her own
cook, not yet n Christian, who was so
nnnojeil by callers who Interfered
with the dinner hour that she was
Just starting to turn tho broom upside
down when the cullers left. Of course
that i-oiillriiied the superstition. In
America brooms bavo been known lo
rid a house of visitors, but ordinarily
we adopt more drastic ways of bun
dling It to gain that result.
It Is not clear whether the Japnncse
method Is more Interesting ns a super
stltlou or ns a courtesy, CertHlttly It
Is not peculiar to that nation to con
nect things which ran have no real re
lation, but It Is of the very essence of
the race tn think of a way to get
things done without offending. At any
rate there Is the custom.

Embroidery an Old Art.
Kmhroldery Is supposed to be one of
the curliest domestic arts, for It Is
argued that It must have been em
ployed for decorative purposes very
soon nfier sowing was Invented. This
would place It long before the art of
weaving was discovered nml back lu
the (In J s when the skins of animals
were the only material for clothing
that existed. The earliest known spec
imens of embroidery, however, are
some fragments discovered In Kgypt,
n lid the curliest of these Is supposed
to have been made about the fifteenth
century II. C. Naturally inaterluls of
this kind disappear very rapidly, and
It Is only lu a very dry climate like
KYpt, with Its sandy soil, that fab
rics siillable for embroidery, could survive.

dentlal Help.
There Is a quaint symbol engraved
on the sliver plate, the library book
plates and the note paper of a family
In Pennsylvania, but It Isn't a crest or
a coat of arms, by any means. In fact,
It has no connection with the heraldry
of ihc old world but Is typically Ameri
can. The design Is of a cat carrying a
rabbit In Its mouth, and tbcro Is an
Interesting legend to account for It.
The llrst of the faintly to cmlgrato to
this country was the father of ten
children. He sailed the same year as
Penn and died on the voyage, lenvlng
bis wife to land ntono with her help
less Hock. She bad a grant of land,
tt Is said, but no money, and so wus
obliged, like many of the flrrt Immi
grants to our shores, to take refuge In
a envo dug out of tho side of a hill,
The unfortunate family had a hard
winter j provisions failed, and the
widow was lu despair us sho snw her
children grow pnle and weak for wont
of food. The day came lit Inst when
there was not a grain of meal In the
barrel. The poor womnii spent many
hours In prayer. When sho arose, the
story runs, she smiled, as her children
put It, "as If sho had seen un angel
coming lo help her." It wns no angel,
however, that the good woman beheld,
but ft rat with a frostily killed rabbit
In lis mouth. This rabbit provided a
good meal, wherein, of course, tho cat
bad Its full Mi nro. And so the descend
nnls of this woman, forming a pros
perous and Influential family, preservo
to this day this old symbol of their
early history.

Ho wo must make up our minds to
