There were many of them built many years ago, some of them dating from the days of XIII. That these places should be purchased at small prices is due to the centralization In the life of France which has taken so many of the population to the cities. Young men In the families that owned these houses In the paat had usually enough to live on and possibly maintain the chateau In a meager fashion Jhat was a strange contrast to Its early grandeur. a wealthy marriage Sometimes helped the owner to hold on to the Chateau De Farguette. chateau.

I Argaeus, pyramids and pure cliff dwellings of Cappadocia are found, writes J. R. Sittlngton Sterrett, an English traveler and artist, who has recently visited that out of the way country. The whole region is of volcanic formation, which covers a vast area extending nest to Selme and south to Soghanlu Dere, and 13 composed of a deep layer of pumice stone, tufa or peperine, overlaid In the region of Tatlar by rugged lava fields. The pumice or tufa Is of almost incredible thickness, but the overlaid layer of lava is comparatively thlq, not more than three feet at any point. The tufa Is so soft that It can be dug away with the thumbnail, so that only time and patience were necessary to excavate It into chambers of any required size. It Is known that a chamber 25 feet long, 13 feet broad, and 10 feet high was excavated by a single workman In the space of thirty days. In this region the troglodytes of Cappadocia have the wonderful dwellings which were first described by Paul Lukas, who traveled In Asia Minor on the commission ofLouIs XIV. His story was discredited, but It is correct in every vital particular, end he perhaps understated the truth when he estimated the number of cones at 60,000. The region was visited in succession by Texler, Hamilton, Tscblchatscheff, Ainsworth, Barth and Mordtmann. but it Is still virtually unknown. The height of the cones varies greatly, ranging perhaps from 60 to 300 feet The tallest cones usually stand In the center of an eroded valley, hut not always. The process of disintegration by the solvent action of water still continues, of course, and In many cones the exterior wall has been worn away to such an extent that the chambers are laid bare. Such exposed chambers. If they He fairly In the sun, are used tor drying gTapes and other fruit, as they are safe against Invasion by animals. Often the cones are almost perfect In shape and originally all of them were crowned by caps of lava, which were the primal cause of the The caps maintain cone formation. their position as they form one Integral conglomerate mass with the cone. A TROGLODYTE VILLAGE Very often the doorways are quite elaborate, and display an attempt at architectural and decorative effect, more especially In the case of cones that have been turned into temples, On entering churches or chapels. the doorway of any of these cone dwellings we find ourselves within a spacious chamber, about the walls of which niches and shelves for the storage of small household effects have been cut Into the stone. The stairways leading to the upper stories are like wells or round chimneys, and one ascends to an upper story by means of ladder holes cut In the rock. The floor between the stories are usually thick enough to withstand any weight that might be put upon It, but occasionally the excavators miscalculated the thickness of the floor, and so had to make one lofty chamber Instead of two. As many as nine stories may occur In one cone, but most have only two, three, or four stories, which can be counted by the windows. Great numbers of the cone dwellings as dovecotes for hosts are used y of pigeons, the eggs and flesh of which are used by the cave dwellers. The windows of such pigeon houses are always walled In, holes being left for the passage of the birds. The natives of this region are still, to all Intents and purposes troglodytes, but if we leave out of consideration the fact that their dwellings are at least partially underground, they differ In habits and customs In no whit from the ordinary Turkish villagers with ordinary humdrum surSometimes the front of roundings. the house is built of blocks of pumice stone, while all the rest of the abode Is subterranean, the cone or cliff being used as an annex; but In most cases a modern dwelling Is excavated, not In a cone, but In the face of the bluff, and thus becomes a cliff This dwelling, properly Is true of the business street of the town of Urgub, where the front room or facade opening on the street.

The owner of such an abode can extend his dwelling indefinitely Into the bowels of the earth, a feature which is not without Its advantage In a land where the wise man conceals the fact that he is wealthy. The in terlor chambers are used chiefly for granaries and storage; even their chaff, which Is made to take the place of our hay, is safely stowed away In these dry and dark chambers. The landscapes amid which the modern troglodyte dwells are never tame, and are often startling. The modern troglodytlc usages add to rather than detract from the general weirdness of the prospect. The soil 1b fertile and produces vegetables and fruit, chiefly apricots of superb quality.

The real center of these cones and troglody.tlc abodes is the region about UdJ Assam, a huge mass of pumice stone rising in the midst of many branching valleys. The Turkish name means the Castle of UdJ, but It Is not known whether Udj was the name of some princeling or of a district It Is a mere shell, honeycombed to the very pinnacle with chambers sufficient In number to satisfy even the wealthiest troglodyte. It Is very difficult to fix a date for the origin of these cave dwellings. They are mentioned by no classical author, except perhaps Cicero; but there is an allusion In the works of Leo Dlaconus, who flourished about 950 A. D. Prof. Sayce, however, believes that the cones of Cappadocia were well known and inhabited In the Illttlte period about 1900 B. C. a date beyond which we cannot and need not try to go. New York Times.

We have been Methodists alone. for over thirty years, and we have got along without a steeple to our church, and if the Baptists cant do the same let em sell off their cows to build one.

It was built toward the close of the sixteenth century and Is regarded as a very pure specimen of that period. The wings of the house enclose a beautiful court of honor. There are ornamental gardens In the French and English style done by experienced landscape gardeners toward the close of the last century. A lake lies In the woods of the large park surrounding the house and there are conservatories, terraces In the front of the chateau and several Islands In the River Cher that belong to the property.
