TRUE HEROISM, Yesterday an old lady named Guedan found her house, which was also her place of business, on fire, but instead of endeavor- ing to save her property she thought only of the lives of the many people under the same roof with her. By her exertions every other person in the house was warned in time and saved unharmed, but the noble old woman yielded up her own life in the midst of the smoke and flame. Opportunities for heroic action are longed for by millions; they are sought by flood and field and in out-of-the-way parts of the earth, but Mad- ame Guedan’s came to her in the course of her everyday life, and at onve she made the most of it. If all who want to be heroes would be as quick as she to see and act, the reputation of human nature would improve amazingly.--New York Herald. PLANS FOR A COTTAGE, Messrs, Palliser, Palliser & Co., of Bridge- port, Ct., the well kuown architects and publishers of standard works on architect- ure, have lately issued a sheet containing plans and specifications of a very tastetul modern eight-rooin cottage with tower, and also necessury modifications for building it without the tower and vith but six rooms if desired. In its most costly form the out- lay is estimated at $3,000; without the tower it has been built for $2,500; and if only six rooms are included, the cost may be reduced to $1,700 or $2,000. Details are given of mantels, stairs, doors and casings, cornices, etc. ‘he publishers have found it the most popular plan they have ever issued, and state that it has been adopted in more than five hundred instances within their knowl- edge. ‘The same firm issue specifications in blank adapted for frame or brick buildings of any cost; also forms of building contract, and several books on modern inexpensive, artistic cottage plans which are of great practical value and convenience to everyone interested. The canal which M. De Lesseps proposes tocut from the Mediterranean Sea to the Great Desert of Sahara will cost $30,000,000, but will redeem over a hundred million acres of barren land to agriculture. General Fremont has a similar scheme for the re- demption of the barren lands ot Arizona, by cutting a canal through trom the Gulf of California. “Perhaps the most judiciously edited mag azine in the World.’’—THE NaTIONAL, N.
