execrable and they are often nests of typhoid fever.
 In this country the first thing for house. holder to co lsider, before all ornamentation or architectural effect, is drainage. He must see to it thaG his water pipes and drain pipes are well protected from the frost, that the
 traps are close and that the outflow is unim- peded. In all small households it is the part of wisdom to place the water pipe behind the kitchen chimney, which is always warm, and to have but one angle and no cross pipes to any bedroom. So fatal are the return gases from drain that it is safer to keep up the old country custom of bowl and pitcher in the bedroom, and obtain all the water from but one place, the bathroom, which should be entirely separated from the bed room. It is believed by physicians that one of the most prolific sources of diphtheria and all foul-air diseases is the return gas through the Croton water drains.
 In regard to material it is doubtful if any thing is more suitable for this climate than wood with 'fbrick filled in.'' This is dry and warm. But in every locality there are pecu- liar and often beautiful building stones, which could be combined with wood in the Swiss chalet style with very pretty effect. Yet small house builders will find that every deviation from the ordinary style is expen- sive. Stone alone seems often damp and for some unknown reason not 50 completely wa ter tight. A red roof is a very pretty fea- ture, but if of tile or slate it is expensive, and if of shingles exposed to rot. It seems pity that the modern black and blue slate is so much taking the place of shingles in country houses. Piazzas are the great neces- sity in this climate and the prettiest feature in our architecture. They should not, how ever, be built on the south side of the build ing, and on the west should not be so broad as to exclude all winter sun. A balcony for an open air breakfast would be an exceeding ly pretty feature in our best villas.

EARTHoUAKE THEORIES.

Nobody knows what caused the earthquake which did so much damage in Charleston, but there are many ingenious theo1ies. One of the most scientific and popular theories is that the disturbance was a local one-that the outer layer of clay, mari and sand, prob ably one-half to three-auarters of mile in thickness and resting on the seaward sloping surface of the underlying rock, had slipped toward the sea. This theory does not find acceptance with Dr. w. W. Ander- son, who is evidently a cool and careful ob- server. He stayed in his house ''except for shorG time when the shaking and chatter became alarmingly violent" got out his watch and timed the vibration. eAfter be- ginning, the shocks increased rapidly to the maximum violence, which stage was then sustained for longer or shoIter period, gen erally in proportion to the duration of the shock; then, when abating, the vibration s decreased in force much more gradually until they would finally cease" He calls atten- tion to the fact that the shocks were nearly Gf not quite) simultaneous from the Gulf to the St. Lawrence, and to the other fact that different observers describe the roaring
 
 rically opposite directions.
 MT. Lawrence Sluter Benson is another who does not believe that the trouble was caused by landslide. He says: The origin of the disturbance must be sought much further down than 3, ,0OO feet below the sur face, especially when the composite and fragmentary condition or the coastal plan is not favorable to any extensive commotion through it. One thing is evident, viz, that the shocks which were experienced and the effects which were produced in and around Charleston, were immediately due to compression (rather than to displacemenD of the porous beds of mari and phosphates under Charleston and vicinity. The geyser- like eruptions which have been found near Charleston, are simply oozings, as it were, by compression of the subsoil, and are of such substances as were squeezed from the subsoil. They indicate upward pressure. The finely pulverized emissions are from the phosphates ground out by the compression. This compression being so great, was un- doubtedly effected by subtel ranean agency. For this is the only natural force capable of so great an energy. This subterrean action is characterized by the expenditure of it's strength on it's first exhibition in any given locality and this was observed in the dis turbance at Charleston, for, although fre- quent shocks were subsequently, felt, the first was the most severe, not only in the sensation but also in the physical effects.
 Those who argue against the landslide theory certainly present their case strongly. Until more is known about earthquakes there will continue to be ingenious and plaus- ible theories concerning them.

AMERICAN H0M ES.
Our Climate to Re Considered When
 We Build.

We Build.
 From the Boston Budget.]
 It is amusing to hear a man or woman who has crossed the ocean ridicule our country dwelling houses and compare them with the pieturesqueness of the English cottage, of the German farmhouse, the vine-grown walls, the windows projecting from the roofs, the low height, the shadow, the quiet tone about them and the irregular form. They would give all the staring, formal will las of this country for one little ivy-grown or red-roofed cottage in an English hawthorn lane or green German valley. But expert ence teaches that countrys architecture is, to large degree, a necessary fruit and out come of it's circumstances. We have 8 pe- culiar and difficult climate here and must, first of all, consider it in our building. There is the heat of the tropics in the sum- mer and the almost Arctic cold in the win ter We cannot have low houses here, for the rooms would be intolerable in summer. Low, sharp-gabled cottages, with dormer windows in the roof, are no doubt pictur- esaue, but they mean hot chambers under the roof and low, close sitting rooms. Even if an air chamber be secured between the roof and the bedroom. still the upper rooms, in such nights as we have now, would be al- most uncomfortable. We must have houses high between floors and the bedroom we'll separated from the roof.
 Then another element of the picturesque is the deep shade and thick vines overclam- bering the walls. But our experience shows that sun and air are indispensable for health in house, and we are compelled more and more to plant trees at little distance, secur- ing shade by piazzas or balconies and allow ing the sun free play on roofs and walls. A moderate use of wall vines is of course per 1nitted under these conditions, but any ex cessive draping with ivy or creepers breeds insects and increases dampness. The con- stant liability to malaria of course modiies all our modes of building and compels us to admit sun and air. Indeed it will be noticed now in England that all the country houses are built much more iu the American or French style than formerly, with airy cham bers, high stories and much openness to the sun. and summer balconies for shade.
 The regular form of English houses is 8 historical feature, result Of growth It appears here sometimes iwhere an old coun- try seat has been enlarged and remodeled, and is wonderfully attractive. live in such house, and while enjoy it and am proud of it, must confess that it is exceedingly inconvenient. It requires great expense ill the care, lighting, warming and drainage. The cheapest of all houses is the square house, and as most people build with small means in this country, they naturally adopt this or some modification of this form. These old and irregular English villas, it should be remembered, have become nuisances under modern sanitary ideas. Their drainage is

supply from we'll of sufficient depth to 1 yield '1iquor" at the mashing temperature A firm doing business at Topeka, Kansas, I addressed circular to each of it's sixty en- ployes in the summer of 1885, in which, af- ter referring to the unsatisfactory results of the business, each workman was asked to try and make his work count for as much as possible. The change for the better has been marked. There has been less waste of materials, gas and time, and largely because of these economies the balance sheet on
 April 1 last was very gratifying. Another
 circular was then issued acknowledging the
 assistance of the men, notifying them of an
 increase of wages for those who were not limited to prescribed hours, and the reduc- tion of the days labor to nine hours. The latest report is that the hands are more cheerful and enthusiastic than ever and that the business is growing, although the wages paid are higher than at competing establish ments.
 A New Zealand correspondent of the Lon don Ironmonger writes: There is no senti- ment in business. We should prefer to do business with you, but you must not ask us to take badly finished old-fashioned goods, which, no matter how well they satisfied our fathers, will not do for us. Would you be surprised to hear that no carpenter in New Zealand will use from choice an English hammer, saw, brace or auger-bits No bug gy builder will English coach bolts or tire bolts if American ones can be had even at ten per cent. more money than the En- glish, because he can pick up Yankee bolt and apply it immediately to his work, and with it's nice square cut thread there is less chance of nuts coming loose. What is the case with the English bolt? He will look a gross over and find every nut "jammed" so hard on the bolt that it will have to be talk en to the vice to be oiled and eased. This takes time, and as time is money he can't be blamed for prefel1ing the Yankee article. The correspondent goes on to speak of Eng fish axes as ss1ubbish" compared with those of American make.

The New Era fin New Orleans.


 The Times has been no passive spectator of the struggle in which New Orleans has been engaged during the past three years to dethrone the political kings, who have cast aside all law and substituted for good order and good government in that city the whims and caprices of their own sweet wills. That the contest has been fierce and bitter one is known to every citizen of the State who has observed the progress of events in the Cres- cent city. Strongly intrenched in the courts and in every position which could shield and defend, the hoodlums of New Orleans rioted for years in a security which no effort of the better element could disturb. Men of the Ford stripe controlled the city. Juries were packed, witnesses were suborned, judges were bought and everything done to fhield the brutal and vicious, provided, and provi- ded only, that they belonged to the 'sgang." Political influence controlled the avenues of justice and no mans life or property was safe. Now, however, the age of law has ar rived. Through the bold, courageous action of few men, who braved danger without the slightest quailing, the "gang" was given to understand that law and order were some thing more than memory with the people of New Orleans. At first this seemed but an idle threat of 8 weak element in the pop ulation of the city, without political inf1u- ence and without ability to endure it's just demands. But by degrees the truth dawned on the hoodlum crowd that the day had come when law would resume it's reign. The conviction of the Ford gang and the execu- tion of two of them was the first pronounced step towards reform, and when the Ford per iurers and suborners were sent to the peni- tentiary the triumph of the better element was complete It is now possible to convict murderers in New Orleans; it is even possi- ble to convict them when they are backed by sinf1uence" And it is further possible to land them in the penitentiary and have them serve their terms.
