I TILING. 
•j* . ^ 
j* Cr,Tlie tiled floor and wall is beautiful, 
? sanitary, economical and lasts forever. It 
^ is water-proof, germ-proof, vermin-proof 
I* and fire-proof. It does not need to be 
painted, polished, oiled or repaired. It 
ijl cannot be stained or scratched. All dirt 
spattered upon it can be removed as easily 
•§. as from a dinner plate. It is a great sav- 
|| ing of domestic labor. 
t CIT he bath-room, kitchen and vestibule 
should always be tiled. Tiling is also 
|| appropriate in the ball and dining-room 
and on the porch fioor.

HEAT TUBES 
Heat your home more hygienically, more uniformly 
and more economically than any other method 
can, for they form the fire bo.x of the 
Kelsey Warm Air Generator 
giving more than double the heating sur¬ 
faces of any other heater and reducing coal 
bills 20 to 30 per cent. 
CL The KELSEY is not merely an “Economi- 
cai Heater,” it is also a ventilating system 
and above all supplies heat to every 
part of the house. 
The ZIG-ZAG Heat Tubes (exclusively a 
Kelsey feature) force the warmed air to 
distant or exposed rooms as no other can. 
CL No pipes to leak, no obtrusive radiators: 
just pure warm air all over the house-

the crude sap, and the consequent 
growTh of the tree, is proportionate to 
the leaf-area exposed to the light, the 
vegetation of the pruned branch is in 
this case twice as vigorous as it was be¬ 
fore pruning; and the same treatment 
can be applied to all the weak branches 
of a tree, with a similar result. More¬ 
over, if the upper branches of a tree in 
feeble health are cut back more than the 
lower ones, the leaves remaining on the 
latter receive an increased amount of 
light, and contribute, in consequence, 
much more than before to the nourish¬ 
ment of the tree .—The American Archi¬

A CHURCH LOST IN LONDON 
I 'HERE is a derelict church in the 
Charing Cross Road, the exis¬ 
tence of which will be news to most Lon¬ 
doners. It is called by the title of “St. 
Alary the Virgin.” Desertion seems to 
have taken place because the fabric was 
crumbling away. Of late nobody has 
cared to own it, no funds being available 
to keep It in repair, and the public au¬ 
thorities have been obliged, for the safety 
of passing pedestrians, to undertake 
some precautionary work. They are 
naturally anxious to discover an owner, 
and have summoned him by notice on the 
door of the edifice to make good the 
structural defects; hut if there is really 
an owner, he is scarcely likely to place 
himself in evidence and assume consid¬ 
erable pecuniary liability. The old 
place will no doubt have to be removed 
altogether. As some of the walls threat¬ 
en to fall at any hour, the Council has 
charged itself with the duty of shoring 
them up, and will duly hie the account 
against the missing owner.— Liverpool

THE OLD MEETING-HOUSE, LOWER 
MERION, PA. 
^ I 'HERE is a little old stone meeting- 
house in Lower ATerion, Mont¬ 
gomery County, Pa., which is the object 
of peculiar interest to members of the 
Society of Friends. 1 he meeting¬ 
house measures but fourteen feet from 
hoot to roof, and is more than thirty-six 
feet long and twenty feet wide. The 
walls, constructed of pointed stone, and 
in later years plastered m imitation of 
cut stone, are the walls of two centuries 
ago. 1 he window panes are the small
