CONCRETE SURFACE IN TASTE Types of Architecture May Be Con- sidered That Could Be Attained Through No Other Medium. In building permanently it is advis able to select a type of architecture . that will not only avail itself of the natural quality of the building mate- rial, but will at the same time, be best adapted to an economical development. Simplicity of architectural lines rarely fails to give the quality of beauty. The dignified colonial houses of early New England and the Georgian houses of New York and Virginia offer models that may be easily followed in perma- nent materials. So, too, are those pe- cullarly American adaptations of the Spanish, the California and mission . types susceptible to the same construc- tion. Flat wall surfaces of soft gray concrete bring out the proportion and placing of doors and windows. ‘White stucco on a fireproof wall will give the same effect as painted woodwork, with all the peculiar charm of an old Pennsylvania country house with its ltme-washed walls. In fact there is no real limitation incurred by the selec- tion of a permanent construction; the cholce is really widened and types of architecture may be considered that could be successfully attained through no other medium. It would be possible to continue al- most indefinitely a discussion of the suitability of concrete surfaces, fin- ished as rough cast or as finely-tooled stone for interior wall surfaces, and of its particular adaptability for fire- place construction, and other interior Cetails. At much less cost than if the designs were cut in natural stone, ar- istic ornamented work may be mold- ed for exterior and interior decora- tion. At small expense a limitless range of colors and textures is avai)- wable. HOW TO MAKE BIRD HOUSES They Must Be Made to Look Old and Weather-Beaten—Hole Should Be Near the Top. Here are a few suggestions that will prove helpful to anyone planning to build bird houses: Martins and sparrows are the only birds that build thelr nests in colonles. Martins are all too rare, and sparrows are all too numerous; so unless you ve a large place and many bird- houses do pot build a house with room for more than one nest. Make the use of weather-worn boards, or-if you must use new lumber, stain or Types of Bird Houses. paint it brown or green and throw a little dry earth on it before the paint is quite dry.. It must be made to look as old and weather-beaten as possible, Make your box deeper than it is wide and put the hole nearer the top than the bottom. Slope the roof from the back to the front, and let it pro- ject far enough tc prevent sum, rain and cats from reaching the hole. Tt is much better to hinge the roof, as then you can clean the house out at the end of the season, which must ! be done or the birds will not return. <y It is wise to dust ont the inside of an ! _old birdhouse thoroughly with sulphur. ¢ sure you set the houses out of reach of cats, as they are the nestlings’ worst enemies. Trees of Biblical Note. There are in the Scriptures many memorable trees. From the earliest times groves are nientioned in connec- tion with religious worship. Among these trees are mentioned the palm and cedar (Psalms 92:12, 13), the olive (Psalms,52 :8), the sak (Joshua, 24:26; " “idges, 11:6), the tamarack in Gibeah Samuel, 22:26), the terebinth in eckem (Joshua, 24:26), the palm !tree of Deborah (Jucdges 4:5), the tere- binth of enchantments (Judges, (9:37), the terebinth of wanderers (Judges, 4:11) and others in I Samuel, 14:2 and 10:8. - DR.
