TOWNS TO ORDER.
Cincinnati Times Star.

The rapid growth of the prairieo
of the North west has acceeded the
ability of builders to supply emf
grants with homes, aud as result q
new industry has sprung up-that
of IN manufacturing ready made hous-
es, which are spipped to any point
on few days notice. These houses
are complete in every respect, and
can be put together in very few
days. 1t is an uncommon thing for
the manufacturer to send by one
train an entire block of buildings,
and sometimes even Ru entire street.
1t is said that request for an entire
village like the following is some
times received by the builders -
what is your lowest figure for five
stores, two wagon and two black
smith shops, one Methodist and one
Presbyterian church, twenty five
cottages, town hall and a lookup,
to be delivered within sixty days Z
A telegram asking asking "What
can you furnish tidy cottage, 22x
40 feet, with bay window and ver-
anda, for ~ is frequently received.
The extent to which this industry
has developed may be realized from
the fact that last season single
factory shipped 22O cars of THE
kind of material. Its manufacture
is mainly confined 60 Canadians, a
singular fact, the Yankee being sup
posed to take up with any enter
prise that bids fair to succeed often
before the one who conceives it has
time to make use of bis idea, A
large proportions of the houses in
and around Winnebeg are said to be
of the ready made kind. These
houses have not yet been very gem
orally used on the United States
side of the line, hut the indications
are that the emigration to Dakota
next spring and summer will be SO
great as to render it absolutely nee.
essary if the newcomers would have
a shelter to cover them.

LIVING LIKE a GENTLEMAN.

One is continually hearing in va,
rious grades ct masculine society,
notably at hotels, clubs and places
of amusement, that this or that man
lives like a gentleman. The phrase
is so common, and applied to such a
diversity Of persons, az to seem to
have 10 definite meaning, or q very
Uncertain one 10 the easy going,
miscellaneous by no means over
scrupuous society of men, a man
may live like a gentleman, who, if
he was arranged GA the charge and
fairly tiled, could never be proven
guilty.
10 be gentleman and to live like
gentleman, ought to be the same /;
but 10 ordinary parlauce they have
no connection, and are, indeed, often
opposed. To be gentleman means
a great deal-far mere than many
who claim to be gentleman have
any conception of. To live like
gentleman refers. generally, to Elk
ternaIs alone, to outside presentation
to keeping up appearances A man
who dresses we'll, dimes well, who
observes visably the common deceo,
cies, is presumed aud asserted to
live like a gentleman.
BY what means or under what
conditions he live is not considered
He may incur debt without thinking
how or expecting to pay be may
be devoid of principle he may be
incapable of honor, and yet, as the
words are employed live like gentle
man. He probably pays what he has
lost at friendly games of cards
meets his bar bills promptly does
not allow bis club dues to run behind.

FAITHFUL DOGS.

There is in jsil at Plymouth, N.
c., a negro man who has been con>
fined there for eighteen months for
having been engaged in a threatens
ed riot some tine ago, to suppress
which, it will be remembered, the
State troops were called out. The
colored prisoner referred to, pre-
vious to his incarceration, devoted
much of bis time to coon hunting,
and owned two coon dogs which
were 80 strongly devoted to their
master that they never left him even
during his trial, except when driven
away. This attachment became so
evident 10 these creatures persist
ent efforts cling to their master that
it became a matter of general re-
mark and public admiration in the
place, and the faithful dogs were fin
ally looked upon with kindness by
all Tbey are of the mongrel spe-
cies. When the prisoner was finals
ly locked up in his cell for his term,
his two dogs took their position on
the outside of the prison building,
aud have remained day after day for
over eighteen months unmoles!ed.
This faithful devotion of the dogs
has attracted such admiration from
the people of Plymouth that q ken
mel has been built for them. AT
night they wander away for some'
thing to eat, but the coming day
finds them at their post. An effort
is making to induce the governor of
North Carolina to pardon the man,
and it will probably be successful,
as it is said the governors wife on
a recent visit to the place was so
struck with this evidence of canine
affection for the prisoner that she
actually shed tears.

BELL OF JUSTICE"

In one of the old cities of Italy, a
bell was hung in a tower, which any
one was liberty to ring who bad
been wronged and by it summon the
magistrate to see that justice was
done him. 1t was called the Bell of
Justice and the following beautiful
story is connected with it
When in the course of time, the
lower eud of the bell rope had rot,
ted away, wild vine was tied to it
to lengtheu it; and one day an old
aud starving horse that had been
abandoned by its owner and turned
out to die, wandered into the tower,
and trying to eat the vine, rang the
bell
The magistrate of the city, COM
ing to see who had rang the bell,
found the old and starving horse.
He caused the owner of the horse
in whose service be had toiled and
been worn out 10 be summoned be-
fore him, and decreed that as this
poor horse band rung the Bell Of
Justice be should have justice, and
that during the remainder of the
horses life his owner should provide
for him proper food and drink and
stable.

THE BEDSTEAD OF AN EAST In
DIAN PRINCE. There is on view in
Paris at the present time bed OF
rare and singular construction
which has been made to the order Of
an Indian Prince, and is about to BE-
sent out to him. The bedstead
which is of satinwood, with large
plates of silver repouse work, is
very beautifully carved, and has
cost upward of e. 500. The most
original part of this bed is the mat
tress, which has been fitted up as a
musical box, SO that directly any
one lies down it plays tunes selected
from Gounod's operas.
At the four corners of the bed are
four statutes, representing young
girls of Greek, Spanish, Italian and
French nationality, their only orna-
ment being a gold snake bracelet
twisted round the wrist which holds
the fan they are waving over the
sleeper. By an Ingenious contri
vance of the artist employed to cas-
these statues, the eyes have beer
made to move and the realistic ap
pearance of these young ladies il
heightened by the addition of fOu
wigs in four shades of color, suppos
ed to be typical of each nation. TIL
arms of the Rajah are carved at tb
head Of the beadstead, which, thong
in shocking bad taste, is marve
of workmanship.

A Word for the English Sparrow.

1t is possible that much of what is
said aga nst the English sparrow is based
more upon reiudice than upon obser-
vation. and it is only just to this great
ly condemned bird that when a word is
sad in his favor it should have wide
hearing. Such a word is said by the
Germantown Telegraph, and results
from close observation. The writer of
an article in that paper says that the
birds are daily before him upon his.
premises, whereon he raises all kinds
of fruits and vegetables. They have
been care ully observed, and their be-
havor has been noted at all times and
under all circumstances, the conclusion
being that they are the most efficient
and valuable insectivorous birds on the
premises, and though unless fed in the
spring with vegetable ofal they will
eat the early spinach and lettuce, and
the first tender leaves of fruit trees,
they do not eat to an extent to cause
material damage. They eat no fruit OF
any kind. When insects appear in the
sprng, up 10 June or August, they ap-
pear to be unremitting in feeding upon
them, and the pear crop on the preml-
ses in question has never been so free
from the attacks OF its enemies general
ly as since the sparrows have been
there. Though pugnacious among
themselves, they do not drive away
other birds, as is proved by the factthat
on the premises in question there are
more robins than ever, and as many
cat-birds and wrens. Then the sparrow
can be used for food, as it becomes
very fat, and the writer from whom we
are quoting suggests that they should
be allowed TO be shot for food, as the!l
increase is so rapid that there would
always be an ample supply. Boston
