Ill . and only enclose two-ctnt stamp for reply. We in America pride ourselves on the great progress wr have made as a nation; and with some reason, for, among all the records of world his tory, hardly a parallel can be found to the advances made by the United States In mechanical invention, indus trial development, and commercial •progress in the comparatively short period since this nation had its birth. There is one respect, however, we must frankly admit, in which this marvelous record of advance has not "b-->en sustained: and that is in regard to the development of original work in architecture. Here, America has done little more than "mark time” In spite of the remarkable progress, we have made in other lines of en deavor. It cannot be said that the ancient architectural conventions based on old world traditions have up to the present time adapted them selves thoroughly to the new condi tions of our national life and environ ment. Individual architects hate dealt jiiecersftilh with individual problems; r ed from a vestibule opening off the back porch. I'pstairs are two large bedrooms opening directly off the hall at the stair lauding. Each room is amply provided with closet accommo dation. the front bedroom haring two of these well-apnreciated conveniences. The bathroom is also entered di rectly from the upstairs hall. A base ment tinder the entire house provides plentiful accommodation for laundry, heating apparatus, storage purposes, r 1 but »p can hardly yet be said to have evolved any truly distinctive and typ ically national American style of architecture. It is possible, however, that the drift to suburban life now so notice able, may yet bear positive fruit along this line. For in the country, man ab sorbs the sunshine, breathes God’s air of heaven, and is at least free to ex press himself: and I pity the man whose heart does not respond to the “call of the wild," with its respite from the cramping and belittling ef fects of an unbroken residence amongst the surroundings of a crowd ed city life. And if a people's archi tecture—as it is certainly true—is a mirror of the nation's character and a reflex of its environment, then we may hope that some day this drift “back to nature” will bear its appro priate fruit. Even within the limits of otrr cities there are outlying, sparsely built dis tricts where many of the delights of real country life are still available; and for a small family or a young married couple of moderate means, the little five-room cottage shown in the accompanying perspective view and floor pitas offers an attractive sugges tion for a home of their ©tb. This house is 19 feet 6 inches wide, by 38 feet long, not including the front porch, which gives six feet addi tional length to the house. It there fore accommodates Itself well to a lot 25 feet wide. The entrance door at the left leads into a vestibule open ing directly into the most important room in the house, a commodious liv ing room well lighted on two sides and connecting with the spacious din ing room immediately behind it The passage from the dining room to the kitchen at the rear is through the pantry, and the kitchen is also enter etc. The covered front porch, which has a substantial look about it, ex tends across the entire front of the house, and has its own special at tractiveness as an outdoor sheltered retreat for rest, recreation, or the en tertainment of guests. The house can be built complete fcr about $2,290 to ! $2,300. WAXING FLOORS BY MOTOR — New Invention to Save Labor and Strength Has Beer. Introduced in Berlin, Germany. New household uses for the electric motor are being found one by one. This time it is a machine for waxing the floor. The apparatus, which has just been Introduced in Berlin. Ger i many, where it was invented, consists : of an electric motor, the bottom of ; which is formed by a strong revolving brush. The motor is connected with one of the electric light sockets; the chambermaid takes hold of the han dle and moves the small motor from | one part of the room to another (until the whole floor is polished. The wax is. of course, applied before the pol ishing begins. Thus the work can be done much quicker, more perfectly and without any effort on the part of the operator. Every modern flat in Berlin is being provided with one of these electric floor polishers. In the old fashioned way the polish ing of hardwood floors requires much labor and strength, for the floor has to be covered with wax, and this must be nibbed with brushes until the wood is as smooth as ice and shines like a huge mirror. This work takes up much time and has to be done fluite frequently. In houses with large rooms It is so diffi cult that the maid servants often re fuse to do it and men have had to be employed for this special purpose Timely Advice. “Why, my poor man, you are starv | ing: Have another piece of meat! Why didn't you stop along the road somewhere and ask for food?" "I stopped at the doctor's, ma’am, just beyond the bend in the road.” , “Didn’t he give you anything?” “Just advice." “What did he say?" “He told me that with my tempera ment I must be careful not to eat too much." A Chance to Practice. “Well, I have come to call on your father and ask him for your hand." “Oh. I am so glad!” “Are you really glad, dearest?" "I certainly am; you know I have been taking lessons is first aid to the injured.” PASSES THE SENATE RECIPROCITY MEASURE COES THROUGH UPPER HOUSE. JUST f.S FIRST PRESENTED AM AttemDts to Amehd Fail. Efforts i ' * of La FcHeite and Others 3eing of No Avail. Washington.—The senate on Satur Jay by a vote of 52 to 27 passed the Tanadian reciprocity pact as it came from the house of representatives without the extra dotting of an “i" or the crossing of a "i."

The senators absent were: Dupont. Delaware: Frye, Maine; Uallinger. New Hampshire; Lea. Ten nessee; Percy. Mississippi; Raynet Maryland; Tillman, South Carolina.

There are two senate vacancies— from Georgia idtie to the resignation of Senator Terrell) and Colorado. Had the house been in session when the final vote was taken, the action could have been messaged to the house and if the proper service could have been had the president might have had the bill for his signa ture before leaving for Beverly, but the house not being in session, it was impossible to officially advise the lower body of congress of the action of the upper branch, and president until sometime next Wednesday. To the president it is not a matter of the few days, fur Canada will be advised of the passage of the Can adian pact through the press dis patches. and redoubled efforts on the part of Premier Laurier and the Can adian administration forces will at. once be made to secure its ratifica tion by the Dominion Parliament. Preceding the final vote, votes were taken on the La Follette amendments which were desired by certain fac tions, but as those in charge of tin reciprocity bill had fully made up their minds to keep It within the recommendations of the president, the amendments were defeated by decisive majorities. On the cotton schedule presented by La Follette, Brown, Kenyon and Cummins voted yes. Hitchcock voting nay. Crawford of South Dakota vot ed with the progressives, while Gam ble voted no. the schedule being heal eu by the vote of 63 to 15. On the wood pulp schedule. Brown. Cummins, Kenyon and Crawford vot ed aye, while Hitchcock and Gamble cast their votes with the majority, this amendment being defeated by the vote of 7 to 11. “I am very much gratified and de lighted that the bill is passed,” said the president after the vote. "It in dicates the increase of mutually ben eficial relations between Canada ana this country.” The president received many congratulations and in reply to these he declared he was getting en tirely too much credit out of the mat ter.
