Tho first handkerchief, used originally in Persia, was a small square of silk, tho principal ubo of which was to wipe the molaturo from tho brow. From Persia it passed to Greece and then by tho way of Romo spread slowly throughout Europe It was for centuries affected only by pooplo of wealth and wa8 used for many purposes ornament, as a carrier of strong scents, as a favor to be worn by a gallant In his hat. It was tho odious habit of snuff tak ing which finally brought tho handker chief Into common use, which In creased lta slzo and changed tho ma terial of which It was composod, a writer In the Rochester (N. Y.) Post Express observes. Tho varied usos to which handkerchiefs have been put are numerous. As propagators of general knowledge they were employed during the reign of Queen Anno to carry the text of her majesty's speech to parliament, on April 8, 1710, which was printed upon ARCHERY IS VERY POPULAR Many Enthusiasts of Both Sexes At tend Thlrty-8lxth Annual Tourn ament of Sport.

In liko manner were circulated tho announcements, of tho treaty of Utrocht and of Marlbor ough's victories over tho French. In 1745 handkerchiefs stamped with tho portraits of tho young pretender's loading adherents wero issued with a view of facilitating capturo of tho rebels. In retaliation tho Stuart party printed other handkorchlefs, that the rough llkenoss of Georgo II depicted thereon, might be put to Ignoble ubo.

Sprays of heliotrope, tied with mauvo colored ribbon, adorned tho handkerchiefs of La Orando Mademoiselle, tho niece of Louise XIII, whllo tho colors of the comtesse de Castlgliono's correspond ing on all occasions to those of her garters changed with ovory passing mood and passion. Thus, when she fancied herself in love, garters and handkerchiefs wero blue, but If tho subject of her wayward affection was suspected of infidelity, azure was dis carded for yellow, which Bhe retained until hor naturally buoyant spirits, having exorcised tho demon of Jeal ousy, domanded tho substitution of green, as betokening exuberant gayety and rude health.

Moss may bo said to bo tho garment of Alaska, and layers of It 12 to 18 Inches thick aro not at all uncommon elthor on tho coast or In tho Interior. Making reductions for some barren areas, it is estimated that tho total forest and woodland area of AlaBka is approximately 100,000,000 acres, or about 27 per cent of tho land sur face of tho territory. Of those, about 20,000,000 acros may possibly boar thorn with an Indelible pencil. And, worso than that he had' also to write on tho eggs tho breed of the hon that laid them.

"V xiiYi DESIGNED T Remarkably Neat and Pretty Five-Room House is the One Described Here.

Radford will answei questions nnd givo ndvlce FltEE OP COST on nit subjects pertaining to the lubject of building, for tho renders of this paper. On necornt of his wldo experience as Editor, Authvr nnd Mnnufncturer, ho Is, without doubt, tho hlKliest nuthbrlty on nil theso subjects. Address nil inquiries to William A. rtndford. No. 1827 Pralrla nvenue, Chicago, III., nnd only enclose Vvo-oent stamp for reply. A very neat and pretty five-room house Is this. I sometimes think there is moro solid comfort to tho square foot In a cottage than there Is in a square yard of mansion. You havo less work and moro genuine satisfaction, because you can mako it moro homelike. Tako a room like this fine, big living room, having a cozy corner walled in with high-backed seats on two sides of a good fireplace for cold evenings, and you havo something to remember with great pleasure and satisfaction. Im agine a dog or a cat half asleep on tho hearth rug, with the family gath ered around, some engaged in reading, some, perhaps, In fancy work, and you have a picture fit for a master artist. Between the porch and tho living room thero is a large vestibule big enough to contain a coat closet, Thero aro double doors to shut out tho cold and, of course, the outer door Is cov ered with a wire screen door In sum mer time. Tho big living room is 14 feet by 18 feet six inches, which Is extra largo, even for a modern living room. Tho entrance from the living room to tho dining room is a little out of the ordi nary and It gives a good opportunity to hang two pairs of curtains, and to secure an unusual effect if the work is nicely done. Placipg tho stairway tfix&,yt$3ifm ' c In the cerJpr of the north side of the houso leaves tho front open with a clear view from1 tho different windows. A center stairway work3 hotter than a front stairway on tho second floor, as well as on tho first floor, for It leaves a fine, big bedroom in the front gablo. One reason why this house plan works up so well Into largo rooms is tho fact that the stairway Is very com pact; Just a short, straight flight of steps in the center of the house. Be sides connecting the upper and lowor floors it makes an easy entrance to the cellar from tho kitchen. Thero Is a great deal In layinp out a stairway First Floor Plan bo thnt It will give the greatest amount of convenience tor the space occupied. Thero 1b also an entrance from tho hall to tho kitchen, which is a great convenience nt times. Coming to tho kitchen, we havo rather an unusual plan, the kltchon answering the purposo of pantry and kitchen combined. This is a recent idea in houso building and it seoms to bo growing In favor. It takes less room and It requires less steps at meal time. Instead of a pantry, one Bide of tho kitchen la mado Into cupboards with shelves. Thoso cupboardB are deop enough nnd tho shelves are wide enough to provide a good deal of storage room. The front of this cupboard case, as it might be called, Is made up, of cup boards doors, bo hinged as to open out, leaving tho entlro shelf surface ex posed, Tho aholvos thomselves, in stead of bo'vng built in solid, are sup ported by pegs, bo they may be lifted out for cleaning. Ono objection to cupboards Is the difficulty of keeping them clean, but this arrangoment sooms to solve that problem; still tho doors shut over them to keep put the dust. Tho building of smaller houses has made economy of spaco necessary Architects have got busy with new lr mentions and nw tdei.B, some of which mvo taken wlib the uuLllc because SOLID GQMFDK -.TiV V J. .

The front porch with tho little boxed In stops at tho corndr gives tho houso an artistic appearance to nn unusual dogreo. There is something nbout tho pitch of the porch roof, its size in proportion to the houso, and tho neat corners and pillars, that stamps the whole houso with an air of refinement. It is seldom you see a porch that so thoroughly pts tho houso as does this ono. Tho slzo of this llttlo houso Is 20 feet Bix inches in width by 35 feet six Inches In length, exclusive of porches, which is rather large on tho ground, aa houses aro built nowaday, but not largo when you consider that it Is only a cottage in height. Such n houso Is easily heated with a hot air furnace, which is tho most sensible way to heat a small house, because you get both heat and ventila tion. But you must take tho cold air from outdoors and not from some room in the houso or from tno collar. Outside air contains a good deal of moisture. It loses a portion of the i j 1 Jj ll " 1 !53 coa I) ! , I prw i- II J J I U - M ; i Ha F'. T j i1ti 0- -- JJ te BJ?oom G - Q At MM 5- 8econd Floor Plan moUture In passing through tho fur nace. If you pass It through several times It loses practically all of its moisture and the effect on your breath ing apparatus is very noticeable If you are a llttlo out of condition. All air is germ laden. Most germs are beneficial, but unfortunately, the air also contains germs that are detri mental and some that are positively dangerous. If our vitality is what it should bo the worst germs cannot in jure us seriously. Cold will not kill disease germs, heat will not kill them until you get well up toward the temperature of boiling wa tor. Tho warmth of the human lungs eeoms' to be about right to encourage their most rapid development, and un less thoy aro expelled in large quanti ties they are likely to Increase in num bers sufficient to make trouble. 9 Pneumonia and consumption are cured, if cured at all, by sleeping out doors, or in the house with a window wide open. When a man feels eco nomical enough to take the air from inside the house to pass it through the furnace, he is also careful enough to keep all tho doors and windows closed. That Is ono of the strongest reasons why a furnace should not be fed with Interior air. Steam heating and hot water heating planta should always have in connec tion a ventilating system. New houses usunlly have flues for tho purpose. Some people will kill themselves In any kind of a house with any sort of a heating system; others will have fresh air in splto of difficulties. This houso will cost complete about 12,000, possibly a triflo more. It will be found a very satisfactory design, both ns to outward appearance and in terior arrangement. Bad Features of Dress. Formerly it was an unwritten sar torial law that even tho party dresses of young girls should not go beyond "medium law." But the other day I saw a girl who was perhaps seven teen and whoso street frock consisted of a lnce blouse with a V extending inches below the collar bone 'and with sleeves stopping Inches above tho elbow, a scant satin skirt and a velvet belt at least two feet wide. A woman of thirty-flvo might have worn tho costumo at a reception. It accen tuated all tho worst points of the girl hor bony neck, angular arms and undeveloped figure. Girls of all ages have enjoyed be ing admired. But It is with the bla tant art of the sign painter, with a flaring advertisement of face and fig ure, that tho girl of today demands admiration from tho rest of us. Is sho getting it? Appropriate Uniform. "So tho GormauB havo invaded Lim burg! If it has soldlors, I wonder If their military uniforms" "WollT" "Is made of cheese cloth?" "Hardly.

Without special training to that end, it would be lmpoesiblo for any of us to form an ndequnte idea of tho propor tions, the genoral plan or the relation ship of the sovernl parts of a building in which wo might bo living, but of which wo had nevor seen tho outside. To secure anything approximating a clear mental picture of a structure It Is necessary for most of us to view its several sides from a sufficient distance to get a true perspective. Better etlll, wo might carefully Inspect and study tho architect's sketch of tho edlflco drawn to scale. By this latter plan we aro enabled most easily to form in our minds a plcturo showing tho general relationship of tho several parts and to adjust to them our knowledge of tho lnsido of tho structure. Obviously it is impossible for us to stand outside and view our universe from a distance as we would a build ing. And for most of us it is very dif ficult to understand our relations to and absolute dependence on what we consider "immaterial" outside factors as presented by our astronomers, phy sicians and chemists, simply because wo lack the training necessary to en able ua to detach our minds from our persons and, looking In from tho out side, comprehend how stupendous aro what may be to them comparatively simple statements. We got Btarted wrong and find it exceedingly difficult to unlearn and forget much that we acquired In our youth. We havo noted that moat of our serious diseases, and also rickets, ar rested development and tho like, aro closely identified with anaemia; that anaemia In turn is cloeely Identified with tho oxygen carrying capacity of tho blood and that this function de pends on tho presenco of a pigment known as hematin and a protein form ing a very complex substanco, haemo globin. Haemoglobin, next to proto plasm, is unquestionably tho most im portant organic substance of verte brato life, and in conjunction with the stroma the spongy, colorless frame work of tho corpuscle with which it is aseociated is an active functioning protein, tho main function of which is to convey oxygen from the external organs of respiration to tho internal organs and tissues in general. Spoclflc respiratory substances aro essential constituents of all living or ganisms, and they aro found univer sally distributed throughout plant and animal life. These substances are di vided Into two groups, tho metal bearing and the metal free, and tho foTmer may contain manganese, cop per or iron. For the most part thoy aro coloredo far as is known. In each kingdom tho major pigment may be represented or supplemented by physiologically allied bodies which may or may not be closely related chemically. Chlorophyl In granular form has been found In a large num bor of invertebrates and vertebrates and haemoglobin la also distributed among tho invertebrates in a sporadic and inexplicable way. Haemoglobin may be present in ono email group of muscles and absent from all the rest of the body. Hay Lankostor states: "Wherever increased facilities for oxi dization aro requlsito, haemoglobin may mako its appearance In response; where such facilities can bo diapensod with or aro otherwise supplied, haemo globin may cease to bo developed." This explains the phenomena of the blood adaptation to different altitudes and Is subject for thought for the ar rangement of sleeping quarters. The daily press for some years has contained coluinnB of matter regarding balanced rations and pure foods In re lation to good health, and much good has been done, but tho vast majority of readers havo failed to derive mate rial benefit' therefrom because they fall to grasp the full significance of the statemetfts made and tho possible relation to their own troubles. They consider themselvea things apart from the rest of creation and do not under stand that when It Is stated that the oeh of wheat, barloy, ryo, rice, millet, oats, potatoes, peas, lentils, broad boana, kidney beans, mi,lk, eggs and meat contains ferric oxide, it means tho presenco of iron, which is as sociated all through tho living world with tho vital elements necessary to our life and good health.

THE DIET QUESTION. Inquiries received prove that largo numbers of persons grasp only with I great difflcutly tho fundamental princi ples of nutrition nnd do not readily discriminate between pure food and wholesome food. Tho demand Is for somo specific guide or chart as to what to eat. This is not tho road to good health and happiness, but qulto tho contrary; because until self knowledge and self-reliance nre at tained the individual is subject to all kinds of vague and unreasoning fears and fanclea and Is, therefore,' continu ously in danger of exploitation by any plausible faddist, with all tho attend ant dangers. Next to rice, wheat Is tho most uni versally uBed cereal and in this coun try It leads; therefore, moro than any other plant, wheat becqmes a constitu ent part of our bodies. Wheat begins to grow at 41 degrees Fahrenheit and when the nggregate temperature as represented by tho sum of tho dally average equals 185 degrees tho germ begins to "hatch" or escape from the husks if not too deep ly burled. If too dooply burled, a greater amount of heat la required pro portionate to tho depth, and if the seed lies at a depth lower than ono foot It rarely germinates. Seedlings ceaao to grow If tho average tomperaturo for tho day remains below 42 degrees Fahrenheit, When young planta havo been subjected to an aggregate tem perature of 1896 degreea Fahrenheit from tho time when eown, or of 1715 degrees from the time of germination, branching goes on freely and tho young ears form. Under tho stimulus of an average temperature of 55 de grees Fahrenheit, or a little above, tho flowora aro produced. But a still higher daily average temperature Is required for the full development and ripening of the grain. An average of 75 .degrees Is most favorable to ma turity, with abundance of Bunlight and rain. Given a matured wheat berry, what has happened is that under the vitaliz ing stimulus of sunlight the enzymes and bacteria In the soil and the plant have taken these elements, and many others not here mentioned, out of the soil and the air and bound them together with the kinetic energy of the sun Into molecules of protein, carbohydrate, fat, etc., tho wheat berry serving aa a reservoir of potential en ergy until a suitable machine again converts It Into kinetic energy. As suming that the wheat plant had the power to modify Its environment by eliminating from Its diet In 'the soil ono or moro of the elements on which its growth and vitality depend, we should call It stupid and think it Justly deserving of the smut disease and the blight that would Inevitably attack it because of the weakness resulting from'' tho ensuing starvation. By reason of ancestral adjustments our digestive organs are able easily to digest, transform and -utilize this wheat energy. The wheat Derry la food for us because it Is developod practically in the same soale that wo are. But for some Btrange reason we Insist on radically changing our en vironment by eliminating from our diet the most Important and vital part of the berry, thereby throwing our ancestral habits out of gear and creat ing trouble. Blythe states that modern milling produces nine varieties of our flour and three brans from tho wheat berry, tho original wheat showing 2.09 per cent ash, tho flour showing .55 per cent ash, fine bran showing C.55 per cent ash, medium bran showing 6.89 per cent ash, coarse bran showing 8.01 per cent ash. This ash consists of: Winter Spring wheat, wneat.

Genulno whole wheat flour is diffi cult to obtain, but its high value as a food Is worthy of a determined effort to get it and eat it each day in ono of the many palatablo forms in which it may bo prepared. As bread, raisin bread, nut bread, gems, pancakes, mush with cream and sugar and fried mush, it la appetizing as well as nour ishing. It cannot ordinarily be ob tained at tho markets; the flour sold as "wholo wheat" Is usually a combina tion of a few of the several grades of flour aud bran produced by tho roller process , and tho germ Is absent, for flour containing tho germ will not keep. It Is necessary to seek out the occasional small miller, who will grind tho wholo wheat berry for you, or to grind it yourself In a small mill at homo or a coffee mill will do at a pinch. up Us business with an auction sale.- Baltimore sun.
