Higgins made a dive for something in

ten cents for backing his boots.
He wrote a letter TO his married sis

hOUSE-TOP GARDENS.
summer Resorts For the Poor Dwellera In
Tenement Houses.


A plan 10 make our hous e-tops use
full is sketched by DR.. Gouverneur NJ
Smith, in a paper on Wasted Sun
beams-Unuse House-tops. The
Oriental has no difficulty in the mat
ter. He lives on the top OF his house
considerable part of the year, and
builds his roof with an especial eye to
that sort of occupation. Why may
not we? By pitching our tents upon
them, or by taking them as they are,
except that the roof coverings would
have to be made more solid. we might
make our roofs comfortable sojourn-
ing places and inexpensive summer
health resorts.
"RoOting," says the author, lean be
contrived suited to this climate, and
enduring as pavement. A pleasure
resort might ornament each residence,
its limits bounded by the area of the
dwelling; neighborly consent could
widen the range, turf and flowers
Frightening the plan lron-iramed
and glass-inclosed rooms or cupolas
could be added, which would prove
useful during all seasons, artificial!
heat tempering brumal inclemency.
If such adaptation of house-tops would
be- an advantage to the af1luent,
who can escape city life during the
summer. how much greater advantage
would be secured to the tenement
house districts, For the
higher graded tenement houses such
| fresh air facilities would be hailed
with delight by the inmates. The
proxim ty of open breathing places
to their rooms would endear then
to their humble homes Summer
moonlight evenings could have new
aspect; and again. round family
lantern, gropes might gather to read
sew, or engage in games, and thus
home-felt pleasure could quiet restles
spirits, craving questionable or illici
amusements. More true enloymen
might be observed in such group
than on the piazzas OF fashionable re
sorts. Landlords could arrange for tn
periodical sweeping of roofs, as wei
as the halls and stair-ways, and
among a very large class of respect
able poor, pride would stimulate to
tidy and decorative care of their HON
parks"
BY little alteration in structur
the upper stories of houses. now stuff
places enough, could be made ligh
and airy. and attractive as resorts c
play rooms in Indictment weather.
