Design For A Church F. C. Withers, Architect

SOUTHWEST VIEW.

GROUND PLAN.

The correct place for the Font would be near the entrance as shown on the plan.

The cost of the church would of course vary according to the material used, as well as the locality; in this district however, it might be well built for about $6000. Accommodation is afforded for one hundred and fifty persons.

Designs Of Rural Art

FIG. 1 is a sketch of a Rustic Summer House, simple, and easily constructed. The attractiveness of it is enhanced greatly by the climbing vines, which are supposed to be planted freely at each end. If evergreens are planted close by, they will add greatly to the picturesqueness of the position and form an excellent contrast.

Fig. 2 is an out-door covered seat. The upright posts are each six inches square, and set in the ground. The roof is of boards with battened joints, set off with an ornamented ridge-board and bails. The seat is made of hard wood, rounding on top, and placed a little apart.

The effect can be changed by substituting rough cedar, unbarked, posts for the square ones. A Wistaria vine planted at one end and allowed to grow over the roof and hang down jits clusters of drooping leaves and flowers, will add very much to its ]beauty.

Destroying Garden Moles

A. S. Baldwin, of Connecticut, destroys this pest of the garden with arsenic and Indian meal. One tablespoonful of arsenic is mixed with four times as much meal, with flour and water sufficient to make a stiff paste or dough. This is made into pills the size of a small chestnut. Small holes are made in the main runway with a small round stick, and the pills dropped in.
