HammerIne For Drunkenness.
uondon STANDARD.

In Mandalay hammering appears to
be the punishment adopted for drunk
enness. A Burman has been ham
mered to death, and the companion of
his drunken spree, Jewish British sub
jeet, is dying in Jail, with several bones
broken. Thus it will be seen that the
customs introduced by Theebaw differ
widely from those which prevail here.
In Burmah drunkards are hammered to
death; in England they hammer their
wives to death. The Burmese method
clearly possesses marked advantages,
but we fear that Sir w. Lawson will
never succeed in inducing the house of
commons to legalize it here.

Some of the most beautiful of the lately
built American country houses in the eastern
states have returned somewhat to the old
colonial pattern in construction In the pict-
ure we have hall and stairway from the
residence Of Samuel Gray Ward, of Lenox,
Mass. All this region, in the neighborhood
of the Berkshire hills, is picturesque, and
men and means and taste have been not slow
to avail themselves of its advantages in build
ing sites. Some of the most beautiful rural
mansions in America are in this neighbor-
hood.
tits rather a noteworthy fact that while
the finest homes in England are hidden away
in the heart of the country, the most splendid
and attractive homes of America are, without
exception, in the suburbs of the large cities.
They are not exactly city or country houses,
but half and half, as if our rich Americans
had not yet quite made up their minds
whether they liked the city or country best.
That is just the case. The generation of
wealthy Americans Immediately past clung to
the city and detested country life. Now the
tide of evolution is setting towards the coun-
try. 1t is mark of improvement in taste.

An incident occurred in one of the
large dry-goods shops in Boston the
other day, the consequences of which
are worth noting. A lady left upon a
counter roll of bills, which the sales
woman gave, with an account of the
circumstances, to one of the cashiers.
Shortly after man (who had probably
been an observer) came up and claim
ed the money, which was given to him;
SO that when the rightful owner return

her. AS the firm refused to acknowl-
edge her evident claim, she brought
suit, and the court gave decision in
her favor. ..

HOME OF WILLIAM WALTER PHELPS


A case in point is at hand. The illustra-
tion shows the residence of William Walter
Phelps, Esq, at Englewood, N. J. Its "long,
low and rambling" enough to suit the fancy
of the veriest young lady novelist. The dis
tinguished New Jersey congressman and his
family live here all the year when they are
at home, in preference to anywhere else. His
house, like many other recent mansions, imi-
tates the farmhouse pattern The Cottages"
so-called, Of the summer dwellers at our
watering places furnish some notable speci-
mems of architecture, though, like many other
things American, they are vastly overdonc.
They are too fine, too large and costly to be
inhabited only four months in the year. 1t
is pleasant to feel sure, though, that many of
our suburban homes of stone. brick and wood
are as handsome and tasteful architecturally
as any in the world. With the wealth that is
rapidly increasing, the number of these will
be constantly added to.
1t is relief to know that the high. narrow.
box fashion Of house is departing. Mod
erately low ceilings are far preferable to the
lofty slit in the wall which used to be thought
the correct thing. When we go one step
further and have houses built of plaster on
the outside. with red-tiled roofs in ridges, that
will be amt t!1er step toward artistic beauty.

But the old Dutch style stone houses, with
high gables, influenced all the early building
One of the most notable of these old style
American houses is the residence of Mai Benz
Perley Poore. Maj Poore is so well known
as Washington newspaper man and author
that it will surprise many to know that he
has country home at all That he has, and
one of the quaintest, solidest old houses in
the country, too. 1t is at Indian Hill, Mass.
Maj. Poores "fad," as the English would call
it, is farming, a strange fancy for newspaper
man. But the veteran major is fortunate
journalist. He is able to throw away some
of the money he earns in writing in keeping
up model farm.
There are stone houses, built in somewhat
the style of Maj. Poore's, only smaller and
single rooted, scattered about New Jersey
and New York state that are not less than
$50 years old That ancient iron-like stone
which abounds in those parts is as rigid and
unchanging as Dutch customs and New Eng
land Puritanism. More SO, indeed, far more.
knickerbocker ways long since gave place to
the American spirit of go ahead, and New
England Puritanism is only the shadow of
itself. But the old houses in which Puritans
sang psalms through their noses and Dutch
men smoked their pipes and drank beer re-
main.
Very comfortable were the old colonial
houses. One strange thing impresses the
deliver into the architecture of those DAYS.
Even. the most primitive structures, those
built in the pioneer days of the Atlantic
division of states, are infinitely more comfort
able and durable than the pioneer houses now
put up in the prairie states The latter are
rickety and pasteboardlike, like everything
else in this makeshift age. The fact does not
indicate improvement in the American
character

to the mast of vessel, and over that, by

Towers.
Among the triumphs scored by marine en-
gineering in America none is more marked
than the construction of the two lighthouses
here given. One, Minot's ledge, is in Massa-
chusetts bay. The other, Tillmanook Rock
light, is in the Pacific, eighteen miles from the
mouth Of the Columbia river. Both are out
in the ocean, which sweeps around them and
lashes their sides as IL it would eat them ND.
Minot's ledge is a most dangerous low-lying
rock in Massachusetts, bay. Since Massa-
chusetts bay began to be of commercial i'm.
portance there have been lighthouses there
of wood and iron. Tho iron one was de-
stroyed by gale. In 1855 the work of build.
ing stone tower was begun. The ledge had
to be excavated far down in pit-like hollow
to furnish foundation enough. So furious
are the breakers here that this could only be
done at low tide in the calmest weather II
was bad season that year, and workmen
were able to get in only 100 hours labor alto

During the whole year 1857 there were only
100 hours and 81 minutes of working time.

Naturally they were little nervous about
that time. In 1881, however, the brave fel-
lows completed their work and Tillmanook
became an illuminated danger instead of
dark,one. An iron bridge has since been built,
one end of which rests on the rock and the
other is dropped down to vessel when a
landing is attempted, which can only he in
