While their plan does not tax the

dream away the tedious summer day.
The type of architecture is more pretentions than that displayed in the simple
log cabin. The wall,11 are decorated
with curious designs, *and the interwoven latticework of palm and bamboo
which form the houses give them a delightfully cool and airy appearance. It
is an ideai nest, and one in which the
Celestial never tires of lingering.

a . mammoth glass room, measuring
some 20 feet square by 15 feet high,
constructed on the surface of a, lake,
into which it is submerged on hot days.
With the exception of the floor, it is
entirely of heavy plate glass closely fitted into steel frames. It took over five
years of steady labor to make this remarkable room, and so jealous of the
secret was-its imperial inventor that
each particle of the room was manufactured in a different place and by workmen entirely unfamiliar with'the other
parts of the structure. —New York Journal*
•gnnlrn Banish Snakes.
Water moccasins were formerly numerous in the region close to Taylor,
Ira. In recent years they have become
scarce, while minks have increased in
numbers. Old hunters there say that the
mink is the deadly enemy of the snake,
and that in a fight the quadruped always comes off victorious.

World Building, New York, writes:
"I had a bunion on my left foot that,
as a paine producer, was on a par at
least with the boils, sores, rheumatics
and colics that made poor old Job's life
so miserable. I do not have the bunion

of ammunition by way of practice and
from all guns heavier than 10 inch four
rounds a quarter, irrespective of the additional roun.ds used in the annual
"prize firing." The heavy expenditure
involved in this item alone may be hinted at by observing that every full round
filed from a 0 inch gun costs £16, from
an 8 inch gun £30, from a 12 inch gun
4128 and from the 18.25 inch, or 110
ton gun, as much as £300. And these
figures are only a small part of the
story, for tlie life of a very heavy gun
is not a long one, and though a 6 inch
gun can fhie as many as 500 rounds, 70
or SO full rounds are the limit of the
110 ton. After firing that amount they
will both require a new inner tube, a
costly matter enough.—Chambers' Journal.

is au excellent sign of an approaching

absorbs moisture and loses its tenacity,
thus causing the branch to fall.

Wo are ready enough iiow to give onr
possible adversaries all credit for pluck
and perhaps for technical skill, and yet,
as regards practice in the use of their
weapons, we still have them at an immeasurable, disadvantage- This factor
is commonly omitted from newspaper
comparisons, but it would probably have
more weight than any other in determining the issue of an actual struggle,.
Two duelists may each have lion, hearts
and each the best Damascus blades, but
if one has ten, fftjnea mare practice in the
art pf* fpnoing than the. other it is long
•adfisthnt he will, win. So it is. \yi,th. our-
navy- It has a far greater knowledge of*
shins, acquired, by actual firing practice,
than any other power. And the reason
of this is precisely because such'knowledge is a very expensive thiug to acquire, and England is tlie only nation
that cares to afford it.
It is probable that whero France,
the, next naval power, spends a million in sea cruising and^guu firing, we
spend five. From every gun in our navy
having a caliber of 10 inches and under
there are fired each quarter eight rounds
