"I hare an anarchist friend," said the
man who kuows a rood many people,
"who has a design for an apartment
house that will work a revolution In
accommodations for those persons who
cannot afford to hare more than one
room, lie has fitted up an aptftnient
in his own house as a sample, and it
really promises amaiing results. I was
talking to him the other evening on the
problem of city tiring for people ot
small means, bachelors and bachelor
maids, and that kind principally; when
he asked me to come with him and see
what he had evolved on that line. We
went up to his third floor he Is able to
own a house of his own and be ush
ered me Into an apartment which was
about twenty feet long and ten feet
wide, with a fine large window at one
end and a small door at the other, lie
asked me what I thought of it, and I
looked around a minute to reach a con
clusion.
"It was nicely carpeted. There was
one chair, and there was a two-light
chandelier about tbe center of the ceil
ing. The room was nicely papered on
one wall and at tbe ends, but the oppo
site side wall was entirely wainscoted.
as I thought ' I told him It looked all
right for a sitting-room for one, but
beyond that its usefulness seemed to
me to be somewhat restricted.- He
laughed and asked me if t really
thought so, and going over to the wains
coting he turned up a little handle
really opened a door. It revealed a
closet big enough to accommodate all
the clothes an ordinary person would
care to have. Below It there was a
drawer for shoes and that sort
i ; "Then he went right on with his
revelations, leaving me to stare at him.
He turned down a nice bed similar to
the sleeping car variety; adjoining it
was a chiffonier with half a doxen
drawers In it and a glass at the top,
the glass being concealed by a lid which
dropped down, making a shelf for toilet
articles. Beyond was a wash stand
opening up in the same way, with wa
ter tank, bowl, slop jar and all In an
other place was a door that fell down,
making a small table, and revealing
a cupboard where dishes and food
might be kept; in still another, a simi
lar lid dropping msde a writing table,
and revealed space and shelving for a
good-sized library with a nook for fnk,
pens and Such things. A hslf -dozen
leather-covered seats were hidden in
the same way. ready to be pulled down
for use, and behind each of them was
shelving, the depth of the wainscoting
being about two feet Above the bed
and elsewhere about tbe wainscoting
were drawers and shelves, room for a
trunk, and little cubbyholes for storing
things, until really in that one wall,
twenty feet long and ten feet high, was
room for more stuff than nine-tenths
of people have.
"I forgot to say that the Inside of tbe
high closet for clothes was a mirror 2
feet by 6 feet In size, and hung Just
right to see one's self in when he was
ready to go out I looked at the lay-out
of household conveniences In amaze
ment and when he bad shut it all up
again, leaving the handsome, well-light
ed sitting-room. I could scarcely realize
that I was not in the home of a magi-
clan who touched tbe walls and brought
forth what he wished. My friend told
me he had more conveniences In mind
for rather larger rooms, one being a
shower bath to take the place of the
wash stand. He said his Idea was, that
this kind of a room could be used in
houses of any kind, but he designed it
especially for the apartment bouse of
the future, where In small space a man
or a woman might get some of the com
forts of a home In a room that would
cost only S 15 a month rent, and still be

ROSA BONHEUR'S LIONS.
Oaretia Personal Becolletcioaa of the
Noted Painter.
I do not know why, but Instinctively
ever in my thoughts I place George
Sand and Rosa Bonheur side by side.
I have known them both Intimately,
and they have left me the same Im
pression of repose, of touching naivete,
of simplicity and goodness.
George Sand possessed a unique
charm in her expressive eyes those
black lakes, in which one iglght aU
most bathe, as once said to me Mrue.
Victor Hugo, who also had most beau
tiful eyes.
When the great novelist took her
walks abroad In Nohant, the little birds
winged their flight to her instinctively,
and perched upon her shoulders.
It was the same with Rosa Bonheur.
She loved the animals, and the animals
loved, her. In fact she exercised a
magnetic power over them. The fierce
watchdogs of the house at By were
like lambs in her presence. Tame Hons
she bad about her, too, those majestic
creatures that she so loved to paint,
and whose manes she would smilingly
caress with her delicate hand. The
deer of the forest contemplated her
with a glance of recognition, as if they
comprehended that she was in truth
their painter. M. Gerome, when be
wished to paint Hons, visited tbe tam
er, Pezon, at tbe Jardin des Plantes,
and made his studies across the bars of
the cages. Bonheur tried a different
plan, She actually gave the freedom
of her gardens to the lions of tbe me
nagerie at By. Sometimes the passers
by on the road would regard with stu
pefaction a tawny lion crouching on
the terrace of Mile. Rosa, and gazing
majestically from the height of the
wall which formed his pedestal
Sorely frightened, pedestrians would
hasten their steps, as if. they feared
the ferocious beast would leap forth
npon them. The Hon, however, remain
ed quiet Possibly he despised these
bipeds; or, rather, if we may believe
Rosa Bonheur, be was in reality both
good and kind. It amused him to see
the people stare. . .
However, after a while the artist
grew tired of entertaining such expen
aire guests, which, moreover. In spite
of all assurances, kept the neighbor
hood In a constant state of terror. The
Hon is all right In the landscape, and
on canvas, but not on the terrace over
looking the highway.
Rosa Bonheur gave her last Hon, so
carefully tamed, to the Jardln dos
riantes, and It was a privilege to bear
the charming woman tell of her visit to
her Imprisoned pet of how sad he
was, reveling no longer in the caresses
of his mistress, while his mane looked
dirty and uncombed.
"The poor animal," said she, "rose up
when he saw me, and his glance, so
eloquent and pathetic, seemed to tell
me I am wrong; his look actually
said: 'See what they have done to mo.
I am weary. I suffer. Save me! Take
me backP "
It "was more than touching to hear
Rosa Bonheur speak of - her models
with such sincere and deep affection.
She showed for these carnivorous
brutes the same tenderness that she
evinced toward the deer of the forest

OUT- OF DEATH'S .JOB
THRILLING RESCUli OF A UTICA
WOMAN. '
The Story of the Xseut as Told hy Mrs.
Taeker A Horrible Experience
, With a Happy Ending-.
How Mrs. Anna M. Tucker, of S52
Kossuth avenue, Utica, N. Y., was
saved from a horrible fate when death's
jaws were almost closing upon her is
told in the following statement made
by her to a reporter.
"It was soon after the birth of my
little boy," she said. "Three different
doctors had done their best for me, but
they all failed to do me any good. My
case seemed to be a combination of
nervous and stomach troubles. I had
fainting spells, my fond did not digest
and caused me great distress. My head
felt very badly and at times I was de
lirious. I lost in weight from 130 to
08 pounds, I had no color, my feet and
hands were cold and my limbs had a
prickly sensation as though asleep. I
was not refreshed by sleep although I
slept heavily. I learned of Dr. Wil
liams Pink Puis from a published case
similar to mine that had been cured by
the pills.' I took three or four boxes
before I was certain that I was being
benefitted, but continued their use until
I was entirely cured.
' I am glad to recommend Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People for
they are the medicine that saved my
life. I do not believe that ordinary
medicine could have cured me."
Although Mrs. Tucker's was a severe
case, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured
her. Lesser troubles yield even more
readily to the potent action of this mar
velous medicine. Not only will these
pills cure cases similar to Mrs. Tuck
er's, but they have been proven to be
an unfailing specific for such diseases
as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis,
St. V ltus Dance, sciatica, neuralgia,
rheumatism, nervous headache, after
effects of grip, of fevers and of other
acute diseases, palpitation of the
heart, pale and sallow complexions
and all forms of weakness either in
male or female. Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People are sold by all
dealers, or will be sent postpaid on re
ceipt of price, fifty cents a box, or six
boxes for two dollars and a half (they
are never sold in bulk or by the hun
dred) by addressing Dr. Williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.
They act directly on the blood -and
nerves. Avoid imitations: substitutes

Mr. Isaac Brock, of McLennan county,
Tex., has attained the great age of 111
years, having been born in 1788. He
is an anient friend to Benin a and
speaks of It in the following terms:
"Ihiring my long life I have known
a groat many remedies for coughs,
colds, catarrh and diarrhoea. I , had
always supposed these affections to b
different diseases, but I have learned
from Vr. Hartman'a books that these
affections are the same and are prop
erly called catarrh.
"As for Ir. Hartman's remedy, re
runs, I have found It to b the boat, If
not the only reliable remedy for these
affections. ,
Peruna has been my stand-by
for many years, and I attribute my
good health and v my axtrema aga
to this remedy. It exactly meets
all my requirements."
"I have come to rely upon It almost
entirely for the many little things for
which I need medicine. I believe it to
be especially valuable to old ople."
Isaac Brock.
Catarrh Is tho greatest enemy ol old
age. A person entirely free from ca
tarrh la sure to live to a hale and hearty
old age. A free Ixnik on catarrh sent
