PARK AND CE/AETERY. 
wall below it is sheathed up in the same way as the 
side walls. 
The vertical sash bars are then set using the 
gauge above and below as on the roof, working each 
way from the door as a starting point. The lower 
end is first cut as shown. It is then set up, the 
gauges applied and it is marked and sawed off to 
meet the under side of the end bar. Care must be 
taken to have the shoulders on the bar coincide with 
the north edge of the glass groove above and with 
the shoulder on the plate below. They must be 
carefully cut to the exact length required, otherwise 
the gable end bar will be forced up or the vertical 
bar will be out of plumb and the glass will not fit. 
Vertical bars must be run from the top of the door 
frame (which should be of the same shape above as 
the wall plate) up to the gable end bars. The ver- 
tical bars need not be so heavy as the roof bars and 
have no drip grooves. The house is now ready for 
painting and glazing. 
The small house is finished in exactly the same 
way, except that there are no supports used under 
the ridge and the bars having a rise of 6 inches to 
the foot, the distance of the lower edge of glass 
groove in the ridge vertically above the upper an- 
gle of gutter sill will be 2 ft. 5 3-16 inches. 
In practice the posts for all the north and south 
walls are first set, then all gutters and side wall 
plates are put on after which all roofs are put up 
then the end walls are put in across all the houses 
after which the ship lap, then the paper and finally 
the drop siding, are nailed in place finishing with 
ordinary corner boards at the angles. 
The south side of the shed can now be sided 
down to the end bars and finished, no siding being 
used ordinarily below the green house roofs. 
The propagating house being a very light struct- 
ure is built with 4 inch posts. The north wall is 
built with wall plates as Fig. 8 or 9. 
As no glass is needed in the east and west walls, 
a combined wall plate and end bar (Fig. 16-17) 
is used. 15 is the ship lap, 16 the drop siding and 
I the glass. 
The piece (17) is fitted and butted to the north 
wall sill, or plate, just as the sash bars are attached 
in the other houses and is mitered to the side of the 
shed, the posts being carried up and cut to the 
proper height and angle to carry it, and the sheath- 
ing is carried up and into its groove as on other 
walls. If the upper angle of the north wall sill or 
plate is 4 ft. 6 in. above ground the upper edge of 
the shoulder of No. 17 which carries the glass 
should, for a 6 inch to the foot slope, be 3 feet 
inch higher. If the shed is high enough it will be 
well to make this 6 or 8 inches higher still. After 
the two gable end plates (17) are set, one at each 
wall, a strip of inch stuff is nailed firmly to the 
shed across from one to the other snug against the 
under side of each. This will carry the upper ends 
of the intermediate bars which are now put in place, 
using the gauges, the same as on the other houses. 
Only one ventilator will be needed which can be 
hinged to a strip attached to the shed, a short bar 
and header being used, as in the other houses. The 
north side of the shed can now be sided and finish- 
ed fitting the siding close down on the bars. After 
the glass is set the space between it and the siding 
can be filled with putty. Between each bar strips 
of or half inch stuff are nailed to the shed, their 
upper edges even with the shoulders of the bars, to 
carry the upper edge of the glass. 
The houses will now be ready for the glass. 
In the preceding work the builder must meas- 
ure accurately, plumb carefully, and keep the pot 
of thick paint handy, when no fears need be enter- 
tained as to the result.

Good Bequests. 
In construing certain clauses of a will, the 
supreme judicial court of Massachusetts holds that 
a trust to keep the burial lot and monument of the 
testator always in good order is, under the statu- 
tes of Massachusetts, a good perpetual trust, and 
that it can be separated from a trust for other pur- 
poses as from one for keeping in good repair an old 
homestead, both being provided for together, and 
the latter being void under the law. The courts 
also holds that a gift of real and personal property 
for a public park is a good public charitable gift or 
or bequest.
