KEEP YOUNG Don't grow old
and rusty and cross, afiald OF nonsense
and fun. Tolerate the follies and cru
dities of youth. Gray hairs and wrinkles
you cannot escape, but you need not
grow old in feeling unless you choose.
And SO long as your age is only on the
outside, you will win cofidence from
the young, and find your life all the
brighter for contact with theirs. But
you have too many grave thoughts. too
many welghty anxieties and duties, too
much to do to make this trifling posi-
bic, you say. The very reason, my
friend, why you should cultivate dun,
ightness of heart-because
you need them so much, because you
are "weary with thinking" Then do
ny to be young, even if you have to be
foolish IN so doing. One can not be
wise all the time. |

Between the Lines,

In its reflections upon the Dorsey rem
iniscences, which its correspondent
sends from Chico Springs, the Chicago
Herald makes no bones of promptly in
sinuating that the remarks of the great
acquitted in reference TO President Ar
thur are unqualifedly mistakes of the
first magnitude On the other hand, it
cries loudly for those who were notable
exceptions to the list of favorites in the
bronze medal distribution, to step out
and deny the allegations of the New
Mexican pepper-boX. From this and
the general tone of the remarks made in
connection with the publication, it would
appear that so far from being bit of
newspaper enterprise, the whole matter
Is skillful attempt to break down a
certain wing of the party, for the pur-
pose of building up The chances of his
accidency. If such is the ease, the
sooner the President puts q muzzle on
his newly-iedged organ the better. lie

his own merits, to connive at advancing

Square Halls.

The form of buildings result from
their internal arrangement of rooms;
the design is subject to nearly all the
styles of architecture. Some forms of
structure look better finished in some
STYLES than in others; and the form
often suggests the style. a square
built house has many attractions to
some because of the conventional SIM
plicity and square effect of every room,
and the large roomy halls and stair
ways; but it is far from attracting
others by its external appearance in
comparison with irregular shaped dwell
ings which add those pleasant sur
priscs IL form filling up blanks, hid
ing shady hooks. tempting investiga-

proacheS. The halls in both styles of
form, as most commonly built, are
cold and cherries in our long winters,
using up more than their share of the
heat, and by subjecting the occupants
to sudden changes of temperature and
draughts of cold air, have caused large
bills TO be added to the family expenses
for fuel and Doctors services. The
new arrangement, though in truth the
oldest, is to make the hall n large square
room. TO be used as a common resort
