Ugly Residence in the suburbs.


In some Of the suburban towns sur
rounding Chicago there are entire streets
closely built up with houses on both
sides, which are as much like one an
other as twins In shape, size and gem
eral contour they are similar, and, al
though the builder has put in some mi
nor feature of variation, perhaps to as
sist the occupant to distinguish his home
from the rest, the effect is painfully
stiff, conventional and monotonous. The
lots are all of exactly the same size, as
if the man who wanted few feet more
or less Of ground had no right to have
his wish gratified, and the houses are
built ON the same headline" Of eleva-
ton above the street, and precisely the
same number of feet and inches from
the sidewalk Ali that is wanting to
make the scene as conventional as 4
Chinese picture on a tea-box, is that
every owner should set out the same
number, size and kind Of trees In front.
and precisely the same shrubbery In his
yard as those of his neighbors. Fortu-
nately the inhabitants are not so bereft
Of all sense of the picturesque as is the
town builder, and touch o variety is
given in climbing vines, blooming flow
ers and variously arranged .shrubbery.
1t would cost no more, or at most only
a trifle more, to introduce a pleasing va
riety in the architecture of the houses,
so that each should be as distinct and
different from its neighbor as the people
are unlike who live in them. Chicago Is
full of architects who have imagination
and taste, and it is not their fault that
the present condition exists. tits the

Cherry Pie.

Ben: Perley Poore. who is one of the
most delightful old grangers, writes
about the cherry pie. If anybody ever
knew cherry pie it IS Mr.. Poore. He
IS now seventy-one years old. MIR,
Poore says:
| have read with interest a lamenta.
ton over the decadence of cherry pie,
which says that the likeness between
the modern pie and an old-fashioned
one made of pie cherries is much like
that between a horse-chestnut and o
chestnut horse. 1t exists rather in
sound than in substance, and involves
what is to all intents and purposes q
contradiction in terms. For a cherry
pie is now made from cherries that are
not fit for pies. This is to be depIored.
for if pie is ever laudable, l will not
say justifable, it is in the form of cherry
pie. The gooseberry is to be spoken Of
with respect; but that, when it takes on
pie-like form, assumes the shape of 3
tart. and is without the upper crust, OIL
''coffin," as it used to be called. Mince
pie is, of course, to be treated with de.
ference, as a long-established institu-
ton, which mingles with our earliest
memories of Christmas and indigestion,
But the connections of that venerable
condiment are so exclusively with sea.
son of ice and snow that the considera
ton of it at the present melting period
of the year would awaken profound re.
grets, and perhaps wound tender sensi
bilities. OF apple pie | will not speak
scornfully, if the apples have fine tart
flavor and are stewed soft, and the erust
is tender and fiaky. As to veal pie, the
conditions of which they may be re-
ceived with favor are well established.
we must "know the lady as made it. F"
But as the making of veal pies, and the
performance of most other household
duties, seems now to be done by maehin
cry or the issuing of orders by telegraph,
recognizable veal pie may be regarded
as not existing, and | return, like the
rondo in an old-fasnioned sonata, to my
first theme, the laudation of cherry pie
meaning thereby pie made of pie cher
ries.
The disappearance of the pie cherry i:
a serious loss to our fruit table. Let III
spur up the purists and conservatives il
language, by saying that it is a seriou:
pomonal loss 1t had, or | will ever
vet say has, an exquisite flavor, so pecu
liar that it cannot be initiated or re
placed; flavor entirely unlike that o
the finest cherry of the other species
except of so far as both are recognize
bic as being of the same family. And
this cherry seems TO have been especial
ly provided by nature for the sole pur
pose of being made into pies. For, un
stewed, it is sour and bitter. and alto
gether unpleasant to the general palate

A Turpentine Farm.

A turpentine farm must be seen to be
appreciated. When farm is first
pitched the boxes are cut one to three
in pine, according to size. The trees
are counted into crops of so many
thousands, and this is called virgin
crop. The queer little gauge called a
buck is then brought to bear and a
streak is cut above the box, which is
simply deep oval notch, pointing
downward so as to lead the gum which
exudes into the box below. These boxes
are made to hold about a quart. This
first run is as clear as oil, and is tn e
finest of all. After being dipped out
with paddle, it is distilled, and the
hard resin left is sometimes as white
and clear as glass. 1t is very beautiful.
and brings a good price in the great
naval-stores markets. Second years
gum is not as good in quality, but fully
SO in quantity. Third year boxes, when
the monthly hackings have made the
scar high up, are still poorer, and from
then on the crops hardly pay for work

Pipe-smoking as a Fashion.

Another English fashion that our
young men are adopting is pipe-smok-
ing. to the exclusion of cigars and cigar
cites. You see all the strong, fine-look-
ing young fellows who come to New
York from the country every morning
smoking short briarwood pipes; they
used to smoke cigarettes. There is also
fashion that / applaud. for think
there is nothing more pernicious than
incessant cigarette-smoking Young
men know it is unmanly to smoke cigar
cites except on occasion-during a din
ner hour, or something of that sort; but
when they sit down for real comfort
they want pipe. particularly out in the
wind. A cigar may DE enjoyed after
dinner. but no man who knows how to
smoke would think of smoking cigar
in the wind. Small boys and ladies
will continue to smoke the cigarette, l
suppose, though did hear young
lady say not long ago that she prefer
red a pipe TO cigarette. P4sladeL LphiG

What a Good Dinner Really Is.

What We mean by good square meal
Is not simply roast beef and potatoes,
with piece of indigestible pie and
cup Of ordinary coffee, but table COW
cred with snow white linen, the china
and glassware shining like so many
miniature mirrors, with boquets of fresh
blooming flowers in season, and napkins
soft and fresh from the laundry, not
stiff as pasteboard, so that they will
slide from your knee. These prepara-
tions cost but trihe and are the invari-
aele precursor of good appetite. No
dish should be served undecorated; the
fish and meat should be surrounded
with small pieces of either parsley or
beets, carrots or .urnips Gu. by molds
into various knickknack devices, not so
much for eating as for ornamentation,
and also as an appetizer. For puddings,
melons, ETC., pulverized sugar should
always be at hand, and for iced tea q
slice or two of lemon with granulated
sugar. Cleanliness of the table should
be co-important with cleanliness OF the
body.--Health and Home.

The fact that Miss Winnie Davis
happened to be in Richmond at the time
of the Presidents visit, is causing the
Republican papers of the North to lash
themselves into state of fury. Their
hatred for Jefferson Davis is such that
they are now trying To heap some of
their bitterness on his daughter. The
Chicago Herald is especially contempti-
BILE in its criticism of Miss Davis pres.
ence at Richmond and takes occasion to
say that if Mrs. Cleveland had gone to
Richmond it would have cost the Demo-
cratic party one million votes. This is,
no doubt, the most disgusting exhibi-
tion of sectional hate that has occurl ed
in the past twenty years. Miss Davis
had nothing to do with the failure of
Mrs. Cleveland to go to Richmond, and
all reports to that effect have met with
most emphatic denial from official
sources. We do not believe the wife of
the President of the United States is
capable of committing so small an act
or that Mr. Cleveland would allow him
self to be party to it. Miss Davis is
the peer of hrs. Cleveland in every
respect, and were the latter lady to
refuse to meet her for no other reason
than that she is the daughter of Jeffer-
son Davis, the South in 1888 would
administer rebuke to Mr.. Cleveland
that he would not soon forget.--N. o.

Parties who have investigated the subject
say that. at least $50 900 are annually paid ont
Of the State for the man Lfaciure Of blank books
for court and county records by the different
counties in the State. This is a large sum Of
money, and ii looks not a little strange that
some one has not set up factory for producing
them in the State-Inatkn Ners
The FLoRIDIAN would be pleased to re-
ceive orders for above named blank
books, as its factory is prepared to "pro-
duce them in the State" at the same old
stand, and in any quantity, as heretofore.
We have figured closely enough to know
that we are ready to contract for supply
ing all the counties in the State with
aforesaid books for about One-tenth Of
the sum stated by the "partics who have
investigated the subject" The saving Of
twenty-seven thousand dollars a year to
the counties by thus patronizing home
industry would be an item worth cOnsid-
ering. We howl for reform !''-we add
our voice to that of several contemporary
howlers, in this matter and dcnounce the
pap-suckers :" outside the State who
are plundering our county treasures.
But we are practical in reform-do the
work ourselves and keep the money where
it will do the most good.
