Sedgwick, Architect, Minneapclis, Minn. The peailidritios" of this 'desijn 'are the extremely high pitch of the gam- bril roof and the treatment of the Hront with the low-timbered cornice on both .siles with heavy timber carrying across the plaza, "supported brackets resting on rugged stone piers built of native field stone or boulders, The stone should be select wl with reference to color, hardness and shape. They should be laid well, in good rich cement mortar, with a gradual taper toward the top, ap if the joints are well pointed with a light-colored mortar the will give .a very artistic appearguce to the front. The peculiar timber treatment of the railings also carries out the geoeral effect. All of this exterior timber work, brackets, railings, etc., should be from 'carefiilly selected, sound. sen: soned timber and left rough from the weather stain, A dark color is pre ferable, 'but a light tint of wottld not look bad. Houses of this high pitched type of roof are very common in some parts of Germany antl Holland. The extevior will look best shingled; the shingle surfaces also stained. Ii the roof should also be stained, but the tint will add most of the harmony and general appearance if it is in a differ: ent eolor from that on the side walls. A green roof always looks well or a light shade of brown that will blend well with the color of the shingles. In keeping with the cenera' style, the floor of the piazza should be concreted and cemented or. laid with tile. ner described, exclusive of heating and [pmo daw and stained with a good «reasete | yellow | v= for in The size of the house is thir- som not exceeding ysame Te the dining-raom.

To the tourist the romantic Bade- | noch' district presents attractions of rich 'historical interest. Pre-emingnt- ly the Macpherson country, its glens jand mountains abound in the { dary' lore of bygone days, and are in- | separably associated with the wander: | ings and adveutlures of Aonnie Prince | Charlie and' his unfortlmate contem- poraries. In the mighty mountain mass of rock which forms the western extrem- ity of the stern and rugged Craig | Bha, from which the war-esy of 'the { Maephersons is taken, one can still {see the eave where Uluny, of the 45, {famous in song and story, lay ecou- {cenled after the disaster of Cutlodep. A reward of one thousand pounds was | offered for his apprehension, vet so ariie wege his people, and so inflexibly strict to their promise of secreey, that not a trace of him cotld be discover jed, or anyone base epough be found to give hint to his detriment. Bhen it is remembered that the chief's hiding place was known to up- hundred persons thers can scarcely be found among the most heroic and devotad acts which have been performed under the influence of the most saered principles of loyaity, one more worthy of admiration thas this display of fidelity. The cave. whiva opens in the cipitous and sharply cut face of the rock, was dug during the night by his own people, and the excavatéd mater- ial was deposited in Loch-anUwie, a small lake at the foot of the hill, in order 'that no vestige of their labor wight appear, and lead to the dis covery of the retreat. 'That the wark was admirably performed is evident, as the cave, although now partially falls en in, is still capable of accommoda- ting several persons in comiort. At that period it must have heen some twenty-five or thirty feet in length, and four or five feet wide, with sufficient height for a medium-sized man to stand upright. 'I'he entrance to this strangely.devised chamber is conwaled by a dwge ledge of rock, which would completely deceive any stranger who was npt aware of its ex istence. Roth from its position and natural appearance, its detection eould oaly be by accident or by treachery. Even should a lire be Kindled, the col or of the smoke blended so well with the weather-beaten rock that it 'was almost impossible to detect it after close scrutiny, Deep fissures dn the cave were cunningly to loophales, which, owing to the faet that the interior of the eave was cleverly designed to run parallel with the - almost perpendicular precipice, provided a very convenient means of observing the surrounding country They commanded the only approach to the cave, and With one gentle touch the intruder could easily be precipitas {ted hundreds of feet into eternity. For some seventy or eighty yards the path leading to this stronghold winds along on the sheer edge of the precipice, and except to the initiated is practically undiscoverable, - Approachable only by ene narrow track scarcely a foot wide, sud traversable by one person at a tipih, it can easily be understood that the greatest danger by which Cluny was encompassed was not a dircet at- tack, but rather the fear of starva- tion.. In his-dire need the necessaries of hfe were brought to him under cov: er of night by a devoted adherent, whe on more than one occasion risked his life in the discharge of this duty. The chief's gratitude is shown by the fact that to this day it is inowimbent on the chief of the Muephersons to seryl his piper to play a pibroch at the foneral of the direct descendants of this brave and devoted man. legen the rocky wall . of converted in life. From the coast of Africa thers travelled to Searhoro, Me., the paint in, of an old-time sea captain of that town, who long years ago was lost, with all on board his ship, ih the China seas. The ship sailed from port with; every prospect of a successful vovage, but she never returned to the home land. Years went bv and she was given up as lost; her name was taken from the shipping list, and no news of her came back to the waiting ones at home. Long afterwards a passing vessel picked up off the Afri can const the portrait of an American sea captain such as the Chinese artists paint, and on the back of the picture was the captain's name and that of the port from which he sailed, The painting was forwarded to the little American town, and it was found to be a pitture of the Searboro sea cape tain, master of the lost that shad left the harbor =o years ago. vessel many Dispel Aches And Pains.

Many apecdotes are related of Cluny 's ingenuity an eluding the vigi ge of the mhitary, but perhaps the | most exciting was the incident in which he actuauy held the horse of the officer in command of the party who were in search of him, Having one day incantiously quitted his hid in-place, he encountered a detachment of soldiers, and was only his courage and presence of mind. S ing that escape was impossible, threw away his shoes and cap, assuming the character of a herd, held Sir Hector Munro's horse while that officer made inquiries as to the where abouts of his supposed master. Sir Hector questioned the supposed vant and asked him he knew Cluny was concealed. "I do not know, and if I did I should' not tell you," was the reply of the daring chief, who wns rewarded hy Sir Hector for his fidelity, In this picturesque locality Charles Edward Stuart spent tion of the time he was 4 fugitive "hills that were by right his "ain and in the company of Lochiel Cluny enjoyed a modified sense of =o eurity such as he had pot felt for 4 ong time previously, Shortly after: wards he leit Beotland for ever, leav- ing behind the pick treasure of memor ios which peetic genius has wowen into innumerable sonl-stirring and imgerich able songs.
