architecture which they display. 1t will
be a miracle if any two are alike in
height of story, ground plan, size, ap-
pearance, windows, cornice, roof, eleva-
tor, or in any other essential particular,
except that they possess in common, al
most without exception, stuffy rooms,
destitute of means to admit sun and air,
and are supplemented in the rear by a
dirty court crowded with shabby build
ings that are alike nuisance and an eye
sore to the entire neighborhood, and to
the occupants of the premises.
In crowded city, where ground is
scarce and costly, people necessarily buy
the least land that will serve to build a
house. They build next house for the
least money that a builder can be in
duced to finish it for. They arrange the
rooms therefor but too frequently with
less regard to the sanitary requirements
of the future occupants than of their
slender purses, and those who come to
dwell therein when finished frequently
have to pay the penalty in loss of health
as well as comfort. But people who con-
struct houses to rent have none of these
excuses. That they can build houses for
others implies that they have means to
do so well; and having means, they ought
to be compelled by force of public opin-
ion or other moving agencies to erect
houses that are not death traps to begin
with, and that are susceptible of yield
ing comfort to those who are to dwell in
them.
The desire each family has to own
their own home and improve it accord
ing to their own ideas and means pre-
vents of course either uniformity of style
in street architecture or any systematic
improvement in dwelling arrangements.
1t is to be regretted that CITY houses are
not as rule erected on much larger lots
than is customary even if the change
necessitated the throwing Of several ten
ements under one roof. In four city
lots for example one elegant and spa
cious building could be put up at less
cost them four distinct houses could be
built for separately and so planned that
four families could enjoy far more ele-
giant habitation, with better light, better
ventilation and with external surround
ing in every way improved. 1t seems to
us that the genius of our American arch
itect ought to be able to offer the plan of
such buildings where laws of health and
taste might be duly considered and the
privacy of the individual family SO dear
to an American citizen duly secured.

Candid Talk.

We have something TO say, and want to
say it plainly and frankly. 1t is this: We
know it to be a fact that Hunts Remedy,
the great kidney and liver medicine, is the
only real cure for diseases of the kidneys s,
bladder, liver and urinary organs. This is
the plain, unvarnished truth. We do not
believe as much can be said Of any other
medicine You who suffer any doubt, have
faith enough to try Hunts Remedy. 1t
will cure you. 1t cures everybody.

In addition to the large export of
breadstuffs to Europe during the past
season, the demand from there for our
meats is developing into important pro-
portions. In 1879 we shipped $4,000
600 pounds of fresh beef, an increase
within five years Of not less than 5O,-
100000 pounds; while in live cattle, of
which we shipped last year 136,72O, the
increase in three years was something
exceeding 100000 head. The first three
months of the current year upwards of
100000 of beef and mutton have been
shipped abroad, and it is thought
by persons interested in this line
that the demand for our meats
will continue to increase. The
cost OF transporting live stock from
the Atlantic ports to Liverpool is about
$40 per head, and at these rates cattle
may be sold in England at prices such as
the British farmer is unable to compete
with successfully. The expense of ship
ping dressed meat in refrigerator ships
is about two cents per pound, but it is
thought to be more economical and less
risk to forward alive. The demand for
our beef cattle abroad is likely to be a
more constant and sure one than for
breadstuffs although Australia will offer
= sharp competition for supplying the
English with their dressed meats, but
Australia is good distance away. 1t is
curious to see old England sending to the
colonies she planted on opposite sides of
the globe for meat and bread to supply
her yeomanry at home.

THE QUEEN AND THE DEGGAR'S
CHILD.


SILK and diamonds and trailing lace,
Naughty carriage and fair, proud face;
Out from the palace, towering high,
Grand and gray meath the bending sky;
Ger the lawn, with its carpet green,
Lightly stepping came Austria's Queen.
Flashing gems in the summer sun,
Tender mother and Queen in one.
Jewels CLEAN on her royal hands,
Clasp her arms with their shining bands,
Sparkle and glow where the sunbeamS fall
But the most precious of them all
The nurse is holding with tender care
The royal baby, rosy and fair;
Pressing fond kisses on cheek and DrO5
The Queen is only mother now.
Down the lawn in its shadow deep
A beggar woman lies asleep.
Hunger. poverty, pain and care.
Darken the face once young and fair.
There by the wayside seeking rest,
ClaSping babe upon her breast
Its hungry wall across the green
Stirs the heart of the mother Queen.
Down on the green grass, llneeling lowt-
Barring her bosom as white as snow,
Laying the child without name
Where only royal babes have lain,
Feeding it from her own proud breast,
Hungry, stalving-ahl there's the tes..
Mother-love spans the chasm wide;
Queen and station must stand aside.

A Poets Natural History at Fault.

The poets which most readers and
critics seem to regard as the high priest
sof nature, and incapable of error of
this kind, is Bryant. l yield to none in
my admiration of the sweetness and
simplicity of Bryant's poems of nature,
and, in general, of their correctness of
observation; yet l believe he sometimes
tripped upon his facts, and that at other
times he deliberately nodded them,
adding to our cutting off, to suit the
purposes of his verse. will cite here
two instances in which his natural his
tory is at fault. In his poem on the
bobolink he makes the parent birds feed
their young with "seeds," whereas, in
fact, the young are fed exclusively upon
insects and worms. The bobolink is an
insectiverous bird in the North, or until
its brood has flown, and granivorous
bird in the South.
In his Evening Revery" occur
these lines:
The mother bird hath broken for her brood
Their prison shells and showed them from the
nest,
Plumedfor their earliest flight
1t is not fact that the mother-bird
aids her offspring in escaping from the
shell. The young of all birds are armed
with small temporary horn or protub-
erance upon the upper mandible, and
they are so placed in the shell that this
point is in Immediate contact with its
inner surface; as soon as they are fully
developed and begin to struggle to free
themselves, the horny growth "pips"
the shell. Their efforts then continue
till their prison walls are completely
sundered, and the bird is free. This
process is rendered the more easy by
the fact that toward the last the shell
becomes very rotten; the acids that are
generated by the growing chick eat it
and make it brittle, so that one can
hardly touch fully incubated birds
egg without breaking it. To help the
young bird forth would ensure its speedy
death. 1t is not true either that the
parent shoves its young from the nest
when they are fully fledged, except,
possibly, in the case of some of the
swallows and of the eagle. The young
of all our common birds leave the nest
of their own motion, stimulated proba-
bly, by the calls of the parents, and, in
some cases, by the withholding of food
for longer period than usual.-Joha
Burroughs, IN May Scribner.

Why She Knew.

THE other day there was 6. suit in
Justice Alley between two WAYNE Cour,
ty farmers regarding the ownership of
fourteen unmarked grain bags. Each
side was prepared to stoutly swear that
the bags were his, and each had wit
nesses to back his testimony. The COM
plainant swore to buying the bags at a
certain store on certain time, and his
hired man swore to handling them as
they were taken from the wagon The
defendant swore that he purchased them
at a certain place at certain time, and
his wife was called to the stand to tell
what she knew about it. She was a
large, fleshy woman, and very much
bewildered.

such crowd before, and | feel as if l
