It has a permanent; floor, a door in each end, and a ventilating system. It is constructed by nailing Inch boards on six joists, two inches by four inches, eight feet long for the floor. Beneath tbe joints are nailed three stringers, two Inches by six inches eight feet long, which serve as runners for moving the house. Next '.s spiked a piece two inches by eight Inches, nine feet four inches long, at the ends of tbe joistB, having the bottom of the two inch by eight Inch even with'the bottom of the ' Joist which will allow it to project above the floor three inches. It will also extend out seven inches at each end. This two Inch by eight Inch forms a plate to which the rafters and roof boards are aailed. The seven-Incextension of the plate at the ends supports the low- , HE beauty of tlio snake us until now been overlooked by most people. Only the artists have realized it, and yet it cannot bo said that they have employed it to any great extent, because of the unpopularity of the subject. However, the Laocoon group, in which the father and his two Bona are struggling in the coite of the serpents, is one of the most famous of Greek sculptures. The "Death of Cleopatra" and "Salammbo" n are also two masterpieces of painting which rep' resent the snake with great power and beauty. The snake is the most graceful creature of the animal has no angles, no crude postures, no ungainly proportions. It kingdom. double is curve of beauty incarnate. It the The coloring of many reptiles is unusually splendid. While often it is very somber, because the snake takes the coloring of its surroundings, such as the green of the foliage, the gray of the rocks, the brown of the earth, it is always soft and harmonious. The shadings are often exquisite. Many a snake possesses a head that is a revelation in the detail of its markings. 1 can only wonder that more attention has not been paid by writers ondartists to this remarkable creature. T I well-know- . The selection of material for the construction of a dwelling house depends primarily upon the amount one is willing to pay. In spite of all statements, regarding the advanced cost of lumber, the least expensive satisfactory dwelling house is that built of wood. The inflammability and high cost of maintenance are its chief objections. Wooden houses are quickly built, are warm and dry. The concrete block wall9 are inexpenBy M.

Care must be exercised to avoid porous and soft blocks with which the market is flooded. These cause a damp house. There is small latitude in the design ol a concrete block building on which the cost is to be kept down. Only under exceptionally favorable conditions can a block wall compete in price with The Truth About Cement wood. , h ' ' , In" Ma-zun- ia 1 Front View of Shaped Hog Cot. er corners of the roof which other sliding door wise would be easily split off. These 2x8's, besides strengthening the bouse, raise the rafters and roof boards nailed to them at least three inches off the floor and thereby materially increase tbe floor space and the capacity of the house. If the house is to be used in extremely cold weather a movable door Is necessary. The Illustration shows a door two feet wide and two feet six Inches high, made to slide up and down and held In place by cleats.- - It is suspended by a rope which passes through a pulley at the top and is fastened to a cleat at the side near the roof. The cut also shows two Iron eyes bolted into the front Joist of' the "building to which the hitch Is made when the building Is moved. In the rear; This Blmple plan of ventilation avoids any direct drafts upon the animals and proves very efficient. With these improvements the cost In building the house Is somewhat increased. All the boards except those used for the floor shonld be dressed on one side. The following lumber Is necessary to construct this portable house: Nine pieces 1x12 in., 16 feet long, and 11 O. G. battens 16 feet long for roof; 5 pieces 1x12 In., 14 feet long, for ends; 1 piece 2x4 In., 10 feet long, for ridge; 2 pieces 2x8 in., 10 feet long, for plates; 7 pieces 2x4 in., 16 feet long, for rafters and braces in frame; 3 pieces 2x6 in.. 8 feet long, for stringers and 4 pieces 1x12 In., 16 feet long, rough, for flooring.

Carefully handled, this material offers an attractive wall for dwelling house. The house built entirely of concrete (walls, floors, stairs and roof) is despecially prominent through Mr. Edison's announcement, that he has vised a method of building these for less than the price of wood. We are not in position to criticise Mr. EdisonV methods, but can speak, regarding the cost of small concrete buildings constructed according to methods embuilding ployed here in Boston. Many excellencies of the cannot be questioned. It is warm, indestructible, fireproof, sanitary. The cost, however, of the average dwelling house, constructed of this material, proves higher than that of any of the other materials named. JO ft Ten years cxjiericnco in estimating concrete structures of all sorts, D has convinced me that only under exceptional conditions can a small con3 c crete dwelling house be built at as low a price as one of any of the other ioft wDt materials. That is, instead of making a Eaving, it is probable that the w IS Ft 15 Ft YtlDt WIVE prospective builder will find that lie can build at lower first cost of concrete blocks, of brick, of plaster or of wood, than he can of solid concrete. This of course compares the- - price of the fireproof concrete house, with that of an inflammable one. It is safe, however, to emphasize to anyone interested in the building of small houses, that they cannot 6ave money I on first cost by buying a concrete house with concrete floors and roof, if it is properly constructed. It is to be said, with equal emphasis, that it would be difficult to buy a better house than one of concrete throughout, and with proper design it is difficult to get a better looking one. The feature of cheapness has been over advertised, and the question of excellence emphasized too little.
