THE WORK OF THE BEST ARCHITECTS 
This is not a book of stock plans such as are advertised for sale. Each design is the work of an 
architect of established reputation and the photographs were taken after the house was built. Some of 
the contributors bear such well-known names as Cope & Stewardson, Frank Mead, Wilson Eyie, Elmer 
Gray, Charles Barton Keen, William L. Price, Ellicott & Emmart, Frank Miles Day, Grosvenor 
Atterbury, Margaret Greenleaf Willis Polk and W. C. Eagan. 
PRACTICAL CHAPTERS ON HOUSE-BUILDING 
The illustrated chapters of this book contain much valuable information for those about to build, for 
those who desire to alter or improve their homes, and for all to whom an attractive and comfortable house 
and garden at moderate expense is a matter of interest. The reader of this book will be able to talk to 
his architect intelligently on matters of style and design, can better judge the possibilities and value of a 
piece of land, can advise his builder, and can select his furnishings and decorations with more than 
ordinary taste, or use those he has to better advantage. And the delights of a garden, big or little, are 
brought nearer his reach. 
200 INTERESTING PLANS AND PICTURES 
The houses illustrated range in cost from $800 to $6000. Floor plans, plans of houses and their 
gardens, exterior and interior photographs and suggestive views of planted lawns and gardens in all their 
luxuriance make this book a constant delight. Suburban homes on limited ground, seashore and moun¬ 
tain cottages, inviting bungalows and inexpensively remodeled farm-houses are some of^ the types 
presented in plan and picture, with detailed notes explaining the illustrations. 1 COUNT R\ HOMES 
AND GARDENS OF MODERATE COST” contains 200 superb half-tone engravings and line-

as thirteen per cent morphine. A large 
proportion of Turkey’s opium produc¬ 
tion is exported to the United States. 
Mr. Norton suggests that for poppy 
culture in the United States the numer¬ 
ous upland regions skirting the Appa¬ 
lachian range and adjoining the Rocky 
Mountain and coast regions offer cli¬ 
matic conditions closely resembling 
those which exist in the favored sections 
of Asia Minor. In Turkey the old-time 
methods of opium-poppy culture are 
still in vogue which the consul believes 
American ingenuity could greatly im¬ 
prove upon. The American Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture has already been 
experimenting with growing the opium- 
poppy in Vermont, Texas, and Cali¬ 
fornia, the greatest success having been 
attained in the first-named State. They 
announce that they have already been 
successful in producing morphine di¬ 
rectly from the poppy and are looking 
for further favorable results from ex¬ 
perimental work. The Department of 
Agriculture at Washington will furnish 
inquirers with full information on the 
subject. The detailed report on poppy 
culture in Asia Minor can be consulted 
at the Bureau of Manufactures .—The 
Florists' Exchange. 
PAPER PULP FOR LEAKS 
T)APER pulp is one of the most useful 
articles in the reach of mankind. 
Mixed with glue and plaster-of-Paris or 
Portland cement, it is the best thing to 
stop cracks and breaks in wood. Pulp 
paper and plaster alone should be 
kept within the reach of every house¬ 
keeper. 
The pulp must be kept in a close-stop¬ 
pered bottle, in order that the moisture 
may not evaporate. When required for 
use, make it of the consistency of thin 
gruel with hot water, add plaster-of- 
Paris to make it slightly pasty, and use 
it at once. For leakage around pipes, 
to stop the overflow of water in station¬ 
ary washstands, where the bowl and the 
upper slab join, it is invaluable. Used 
with care, it will stop leaks in iron pipes, 
provided the water can be shut off long 
enough to allow it to set. Around the 
empty pipe wrap a single thickness or 
two of cheese-cloth just wide enough to 
cover the break, then apply the com¬ 
pound, pressing it in place and making 
an oval of it somewhat after the fashion 
of lead-pipe joining, only larger. The
