The above design was fumiibed u* for publication hv the Cos Operative Building Plan Association, a Large firm of Architects doing busine* at 191 Broedwav \>w York
who make a specialty of country and suburban work. teing able to furnish the drawings and specification* for more than three hundred different desi-ms Vnoetlv of low
and moderate cost. They invite correspondence from all intending builders, however distant. They will -end their latest publication (called Bhonneli s Modern' House* No 5)
containing more than fifty designs, on receipt of #l. 11 ’
New York and the things they call bonnets
in Boston.
Along with the piko era in warfare have
Is-cn gathen-d the other cheerful impleuieiits
of death that accompanied them. There
are many of those antique crosstiows which
must have been terrible weapons in the
iiands of rneditcval archer*. The bow is a
Imnd of steel, and it i*so jsiwerful that.each
i* fitted with a'Tank and ratchet, to draw it.
The bolt is a it inch rod of oak shod heavily
at one end with pointed iron, and must have
traveled with the rapidity and penetrating
power of a bullet. There are cheerful little
slungshot*, called “morning glories," which
were better called “evening splendors" or
"star producers,” They consist of a short
shaft “f iron, a short eliain, and a bail of
iron at the end of it, from which sharp
spikes, like pointed nails, stick out in all
direction*. They are as much worse than a
modern slung-shot a* death from a bludgeon
j* less pleasant than the mortuary memory
of a surgeon’* lance. There are battle axes
of all varietie*, some very crude, but all
very keen.
There nre equine headpieces of metal
which suggest masks at an Arion ball, for
horses, in Scotch, English, French, and Ger
man styles, all accotnjtanying the full sets
of knightly armor which they once preceded
in joust and tourney. There are shields on
whieh the Moslem fauces often rang. There
are shills of woven steel, almost, as pliable
as worsted, whose metallic coolness must tie
tempting in hot weather, and whose deli
cacy of execution is so wonderful that oven
considering the primitive era of their manu
faeture, it would lie dilltcnlt, if indeed it
wei-e jsmsible, to duplicate them t(j-day. In
fact, all the panoply of the knight* of the
days, of chivalry, all the varied details of
the lover and fighter and the idyl of Ivan
hi*-, nre represented in Hie weapons Hint
everywhere cover the walla, and tlie visitor
is obliged, a* he thinks of the stories they
could tell, to borrow a silver hit from Pixar
conquest of Peru to kis-p lit* vaulting
fancy in u proper curb.
Thr collection of guns t* equally remark
able. The Parker No. 10 and the Winches
tor 40-00 are hidden away up stairs, their
common-place newness unfitting them for
appearance In “Hie armory,” for so the guti
rj*un is called. Here, In glass eases, are to
lsv found about, all the machine* by which
gun powder ha* been made to propel lead
since Herthold Schwartz found out bow
much harm could lie workisl with saltpetre,
sulphur, and charcoal in proper proportions.
There is the elegantly chased, richly adorned
sporting rifles tisedby I/mis XIV. inlaid
with gold wherever an excuse or a place could
lie found for it* use. There is the long silver
rifle of the rich Afghan, the boll-mouthed
blunderbuss of Oitlislow'Hath and Ulautic
Duval, and all those queer, abort-handled
and richly carvisi guns and pint*ile which
distinguished the Turks and soldiers, bravos,
or assassins of the lievant. All of them are
e*|nusive weal sin*, the richest, of their
clux*. Many of them uru richly inlaid and
lavishly carved. Tunis, Tripoli, Algiers,
IV/, and all the man it faeture* of the North
of Africa exhibit their destructive differ
ence*. Home are flint an<l steel and some
are match-lock*, all preceding the era of the
percussion cap. ~

Special Feati p.es. —Cellar under the whole house, except the kitchen part,
with outside and inside entrance to it.
Beside the tower-room there is one bed room in the attic, and another can be
finished, if desired, still leaving plenty of room for storage.
There is good disposition of the chimneys, providing fireplace* in all of the
rooms of the first story.
The arched alcove in the dining-room is a pretty feature,
I Plenty of closet* throughout the house. In the second story the closets are
elevated a littie above the floor in order not to interfere with proper head room for
staircase.
This design is a favorite with Improvement Companies, which must be accepted
as an evidence of merit, as expert builders must approve its practicality, and a
sagacious board of directors approve it as an investment.
Many of them are worthy of jiarticular de
w-riptioii. As an exemplification of the
evolution of weapon-making, they are very
interesting. There are carved cannon from
the junks of Chinese pirate*, and brass
piece* on wheels which were nnm used in
sober earliest to hurt men with, but would be
useless nowadays, save to the small but in
trepid patriot of America on duly 4. In
this room are old money coffers, each of
which, in tlie rugged and antique thickness,
locks up a very nit erecting history of the
pedple of the centuries t hat are dead. The
guns are a fascination. They are left only
because tlie swords make a claim which can
not be gainsaid.
Upstair* in a room where (Charles I!, and
his Queen looks out from corpneted frames
that surround antique court canvasses
where the gold eagles glisten that topped
the standard* of France in many a bloody
fray, is the sword of an executioner of the
Inquisition, it l* a grim and ugly blade,
rough on the faces but keen at tin- edges. It
is black, heavy, and 7 feet in height. How
many spinal vertebrae it has parted only its
wielders could have told, if they dared
to count, but it bears its own evidences that
two hands upheld it over many a bloody
block. Across from it, clasped in the curling
steel fingers is a suit of armor, is a long,
delicate Toledo blade, shining, slender, and
perfectly elastic, that is the envy of every
observer who ever held a foil.
From them* two extreme* the list, runs
through Turkish yataghans, t'ircassion eim
etera, Mnlny creese*. .Brits, and stilettos
that once formed so important a part in
Eastern diplomacy and all the blades that
to the Orient are known. Many of them
have solid gold sheath* and gold handle*,
profusely inlaid with oncat diamonds rti
hies, sapphire*, anil precious stones of lesser
degree. Intrinsically they must represent a
notable money value, as many of the jewels
are large, liow *uch a number of them
could have tieen gathered in one man's hand
i* a constantly arising question, which is
answered only by the number of years their
owner has spent in collecting aial the money
he lias chosen to invest.
Outside of t hese classes of weapon* arc a
variety of miscellaneousolijm-t* kindrod in
their uses. There an- helmet* of many pat
terns front all Eurofs an countries, fj-ont a
solid silver copy of that of Henry IV., now
in l*ari*, down to a thin, classic, symmetric
al head [vice of corroded copper, that went
to war on t.lie head of some Greek soldier a
thousand years before tlie Wise Men saw
the star in the East. There are bow* and
arrows and quiver* from many Aboriginal
trilx's. Ihi re arc jade hatchet* from eanni
littl festival* in New Caledonia, and the
mount si liiimim tlilglitsuici arid tlie strings
of liuiniin teeth artistically wound around
their shaft* show the part irular use to whieh
the jade hatchet* were put.
There is another side to the collection,
however, and it.s Iteanty and art value afford
something of relief from the gritnness of
stis-l. Tlie great-great-grandmother of till
crazy quilts, that of Osman 1., with ills
portrait and those of a particularly
Grand Vizier and Grand Marshal woven in
to it, adorn* one of the I**l* in the front
sleeping room upstairs, and shows what an
Oriental monarch slept under in the eighth
century. Its value doubtle** lay in the faet
that a nightmare was always within arm's
leiigth. There arc some other miscellaneous
curios of this kind, but they are unimport
ant when compared with the snuff Isixes
aiid medallion*. The snuff boxes are of all
shapes, materials, and era*. One of them
was taken from the imperial palace at the
sin king of Pekin; another represent* an
alleged weakness of the Empress Eugenie,
and is flanked by the daintily chiseled keys
with which Marie Antoinette locked up her
love If'.ers. Many of the boxes are heavily
jeweled, and interspersed among them are
many specimens of diamond jewelry of the
rarest and quaintest designs. There is the
coronet of a Duchess, with small medallions
of Mary Stuart and two other noble dames
set in a delicate frame work of many dia
monds, sprays, antique jeweled watches,
necklaces of pearls, of tiger - * claw, and gold,
and all the niiuutia* in mineral* that all
ages, barbaric and civilized, have recog
nized as precious.
There are more than a hundred medal
lions, miniature paintings by Isale-y, Cross
way, and a boat of Other artist*, alt beaufi
ful specimen* of art. There are cases of
medals which contain the medal given by
Congress to Andrew Jackson after the bat
tle of New Orleans; the Victoria medal,
with Inkerman, Bulaklava, Alma and Be
liastopol engraved above the name of him
w-ho won it, anil all the obtainable tributes
in metal with which the various sovei-eigns
of various period* have rewarded gallantry
upon the field of battle. There are long
ivory horns, richly carved. There are land
scapes and marines, three feet, by two, cut
front ivorv. There are carvings in gold,
silver, and wood. aVnd when all this glit
tering array in glass ease* is viewed in a
Ixmis Seize room, adorned with a set of gilt
furniture front the palace at Fontainebleau,
upholstered with tajs-slries representing
tier man fairy stories; when the lifted eye
rest* on a portrait of the Pompadour by
Greuze, a figure piece of Munier, or another
of Ruliens, the confused andconfusing rich

Brother Gardner Talks Wisely of Re
ligion and Irreligion.
From the Detroit Free Preaa
“I knowed an ole man who died de odder
day widout religun,” said Brother Gardner,
as he opened the meeting. “Some of de
people who stood aroun - his death-bed an'
saw de smile on his face as he stink away in
death could not make it out. He belonged
to no church—he worshiped wid no congre
gation, an’ dey wondered dat he died con
tent.
“No. disole man had no religun, accordin'
to tie way Christians put. it. but I knowed
him long an’ well In de fust p!a<-e. he was
honest. All de money in Detroit wouldn't
hev bin a temtashun to him. In de next
place, he wus forgivin" an' concienshus: if
[reople wronged him he would excuse ’em
an' forgive 'em. If he wronged anybody he
would go down on his knees to make it all
right.
"Die ole man paid his honest debts. To
hini a debt was as sacretas holy writ. He
had kind words fur all. Neber was a man
so bad flat dis ole man could not say sun
thin' good of him. He respected delaw;he
upheld all dat was moral and virehuus; he
was without envy.
“An as de April sun sunk low in de heav
ens dis ole man’s time had come. He said
good-bye to de world in a whisper, an' he
was not afraid. De set ten'sun poured its best
learns of glory frew de winder over his ole
black face, and it lighted up wid sich radi
ance dat we stood dar an’ held our brefs. It
was de eand of a man who called no man
his pastor, an’ tom no church fur his guide,
but when u las’ minit' cum de joys of
heaven wW*o plainly seen in his face dat
we shouted for glory,
“An’ so he died, an'sfeh was de eand fo’
what the world calls a sinner. We has got
among us heah three score church members
an’ prayin’ men. Ize wonderin’ how many
of us will sii{_. away to rest as calmly and
confidently as dat ole man whose name nei>
on a church roll, ize bin won
dpm if wo doan’ pray too much an’ hang
JF about our debts too long: if we doan'sing
F>id so much zeal dat we haven’t got ‘miff
“eft to speak kindly of our nayburs; if we
liain’t so suah of our own salvashun dat, we
doan’ k<*or about, anybody else. I>et us look
into dis, an’ find whar’ we stand. Dar’ am
religun an' religun. De sort dat sends a
member of dis dub down on his knees at do
Thursday evenin’ pray’r meetin’. an' allows
him to walk off wid someone else's umbrella
hearh on Saturday night, am de sort I want
to keep sbetof.”

“Yas. sur. that's what she did say. an',
gmtiemen. you all know that a woman that
womd marry Sim. thar. ha- got a powerful
spite agin’ angle life. Wall, as I say. we
didn't Lave no confidence in Buck's love for
the woman, an' knowed in reason that be
had raarr.ed her jest to have somebody to
take kere of his little bov while he was at
work. Buck is a rough old feller, vou know,
an' would as soon knock a man heels over
head as to take a chaw ofter backer, an' he's
powerful fond of terbacker. too. as you go
along. Buck got married early in the morn
in' an' tuck hi- wife on a sort of bridal jaunt
down by the river an’ over at the store, an’
ail this time we was making preparations
for our part of the affair. Sim. thar. got an
old bias- drum, that the niggers use when
they have a funeral, an' O-..rge Henifin got
a big dish-pan. tuat he stol.i offen a -”aa
boat. Joe Parker tuck an old bull fiddle—
wall, some of ns had one thing an' some an
other windin' up with me. armed with a cop
per kettle that you moat hear fur five miles.
Airter it got dark I -ays. ’fellers, time’s up;
let’s move.' Joe Parker sort her hii’ beck. an',
-ays he. •fellers. I feel sorter jubos about
these rangements.’
•* Ain't afeerd of him. I hope.' says L
*’ ‘No. I ain't afeerd of nothin' that is
dang us. but sometime* things, that thar ain't
co danger in makes me feel sorter squawjy.
I don't itonw why it is. but it's thater wav
shore as vou bornd.'
“ Wall? now,' .said Sim. bhar aint but one
way to put up that feeiin' of vourn, au’
that is on the ground that you air -keerd of
hun. You air skeerd of hhn. You air
skeerd that he mout com- out an' slam the
daylights outen you. I acknowledge that he
will come a-tearm’ out like a marl bull, but
ever' one of a- kin outrun him.’
” 'Oh. I won’t break up the fun,' says
Parker, fur I know, like all the balance of
you, that he married the woman just on
account of that little r&vcal of a boy.
I'm ready to go now, so squirt your dye
stuff.’
“We waited till bed-time, an' we 'lowed
that we'd waik slow an' gin him time to
git to sh-ep. fur ef thar is on the top -id- of
the Lord-almighty's green yeth the sounds
of torment, it is the noise of a chiveree
waitin' a feller outen a nap. We poked
along the road. easy, so a- not to ’tract no
body. an' dnv up at Buck s house without
bein' seed
“ ’Fellers.' said I, when we get over the
fence into Buck's yard, ‘let's rest a little so
we ken jolt him scandius with the the first
break.'
“ ‘Gentlemen.’ replied Parker. ‘I tell you
I feel sorter skittish about this here busi
ness.'
“ ‘Blaze loose:’ said I.
“ ‘Hold on a minit.' said Parker, ‘he aint
gone to bed Don't you see the light in
thar.'
*■ 'He keeps that burnin’ so he kpn see
how to kiver up his bov all durin’ the
night.’
“ 'Say.' said I, ‘we mout skeer the little
feller. Hn mout think we'd come to tase
his jjap out and larrup nim. You know
the Frazier liovs nil chibberl together and
come over to larrup old Buck on ct, cause he
slapped one of 'em. an' that the litt: feller
screamed ari tuck on so they didn't have the
heart to foiler up the subjeck.’
“ ‘Yas,' said Sim. ‘but that's been some
time ago. befo’ the boy put on brib-he-. I'll
bet you the whole neighborhood couldn't
skeer him now. Pass the lieker.'
“The bottle went 'round and we all tuefc a
stiff snort. •
'■ 'Whut do you think about it now. Par
ker?' said I.
“ ‘Wall, I dunno. What do vou think,
Amos?' turnin’ to oneof the boys that hadn't
said nothin’.
“ ‘l'm in fur it, ur I wouldn't er come in
the fast place. Thar ain't nothin’ mealy

britches, but sense he put ’em on, you know,
he's mighty mannish.’
“ 'But the most mannish boy ken be sk-erd
by such contrapshuns as these here,' said
Parker.
“ ’Here,’ said Sim, ‘pass the bottle
ag'in.’
“We all took another snort, stifTer than
the fust one. ‘Fellers,' said I, ‘we don't
want to conimen.-e the 'formance till every
man ken go into it, heart and soul.
I confess that I feel mo’ like to now than
I ever did befo’. How is it with you.

“ ‘Feller,’ says he, ‘how would itdo to call
Buck out an' give him a drink befo’ the fun
commences?”
“ ‘Wouldn’t do a tall, not a blamed bit ’
replied Sim. ‘All thar is in the whole bus - -
ness is the s'prize, an’ ef you tell a man t hat
you are going tos'priz ■ him, you couldn't do
it to save yocr life. Le*' all han'szamine the
color of that ticker ag in.'
“ That’s rny ticket? says I, an’ we lickered.
‘How do you feet about it now, Parker.” l
asked.
“ ‘Reckon I wuz sorter foolish,’ he re
plied.
“‘I know you wuz,’ said Sim. ‘When
you air ready we’ll turn the cut loose as it
wuz.’
“ ‘l’m ready,’ says Parker.
“ ‘Good an' ready;’
“ ‘Yas, stiff-j'inted an’ anxious.’
“ ‘Yas.’
“ ‘She imps. Turn her loose, hoys.'
