 from the beauty of the city and which will not make a pleasant and satisfac- tory home. It is simply such house as well to do New Englanders and New Workers have been tearing down or re- modelling for fifty years, and the proba, bilities are that after trying to live in this one for a year or two General Strong will tire of it and pull it to pieces.
 One first enters in this structure a large hall with very low ceiling The apartment is so large and the ceiling so near the top of ones head that visitor is eager to get away as quickly as possi- ble. There is something dreadfully de- pressing about it. Up stairs there is one redeeming feature, an old time ballroom of magnificent proportions in which Washington society will soon assemble and bereminded of the days in which our great-grandmothers were belles. The kitchen, an absurdly small one, is in the basement, and the dining room on the second floor, adjoining the ball room.
 The third or chamber floor is a maze 0f little corridors and narrow passages. This floor actually has three levels caused by the three different heights of the ceiling of the dining room, ballroom and drawing rooms of the lower story As novelty, General Srong's house is a success, and it's old fashioned win dows, each with the thirty little panes, supposed to denote by their great num- Der the high quality of the owner, at tract much attention. Its unique ar engagement will for time make it very popular in the circles of fashionable society, but greatly fear it will not be success as home. The cost was Sl0O,. 900, and it is money i'll spent.
 Another Colonial house which has at- tyac,ed great deal of attention in Washington is Captain Tyler's new home, the remodeled Tracy house, on Farragut square. It was in the old house that Mrs. Tracy and her daughter lost their lives, marking the spot forever as one of sensational interest The new dwelling is called Colonial but it is more Italian than anything else in its exterior. The handsome loggia suggests the presence of dark eyed daughters of sunny Italy, while the hood over the front door is Moorish. Captain Tyler has invested here nearly s75,0O0.
 There is great curiosity here to see what the Letter house is going to look like. Levi z. Letter made five millions selling dry goods in Chicago in partner ship with Marshall Field, then he re- tired, and Mir. Field has gone on until bis fortune is estimated at twenty mil.

the national capital, and employed Rotch & ilden, the Boston architects, to prepare the plans. The site selected was worthy one, corner on Sixteenth street, three blocks from the White House, and in full view thereof. It is a Colonial house though not of an extreme type. The exterior is pleasing, and the interior not the less artistic because it is old fashioned. In the center of the house is great hall with a big fire place, suggestive of backlogs and hot toddies. The hearth is depressed eight inches below the level of the floor.
 One side of the hall is diningToom large enough to be called banquet hall, being % by 30 feet. The other side is a library, with music room and drawing room adjoining. All these apartments are practically one, when the doors and portieres are drawn, and the hostess will have an open reception hall ninety feet long in which to receive her guests Of course this house was built to be used as social palace, and it is admirably adapted to that purpose. 1t has cost Sl50, 900, exclusive of decora- tions, which will swell the total to Sl75,- 900. Mrs. Chandler's son-in-law and daughter, MT. and Mrs. Eugene Hale, will live with her in this magnificent home, and Mrs. Hale has carefully watched and superintendent the work at all stages. The house will be thrown open to society in few weeks.
 Colonialism is the craze in Washing ton just now, and in some cases it is car. ried to ridiculous extreme. Mrs. Chandler's house is beautiful, light, con- fortable, modern. Its Colonialsm is a mere device employed for the sake of character, everything else being thor oughly modern. But in house which stands only a hundred yards away, and is now nearly ready for occupancy, we have Colonialism run mad. It is the property of General Henry Strong, who established the validity of large issue of railroad bonds in the supreme court of Iowa and made fortune.
 General Strong appears to have said to himself that as the Colonial was the rage he was going to have his Colonial ism Simon pure and unadulterated He has had his way about it, as suppose rich man may no matter how the artis- tic sense of other people may be shocked, and the result is house as ugly as sin, inside and out, house which detracts

Truth and Fiction,

Touchstone says that "the truest poet ry is the most feigning." Without go- ing that length, we may affirm that the construction of correct versifcation gives a man so much to think of that he cannot attend very strictly to the truth of what he says Blank verse of the or dinary sort does not come under this rule; it leaves the mind very free. And hymns-Dr. Watts ruthlessly sacrifices the sound to the sense; some lesser lights sacrifice the sound without benefiting the sense. But no one can read some parts of Pope carefully-those lines in which, in word or two, he sums up the character or achievements of the nota- bilities of his day-wthout suspecting that an apt rhyme occasionally beguiles the poet into a more forcible expression of admiration or contempt than he would have given in prose.
 The teller or writer of the story has the impulse upon him so strongly to make it a good story that it is next to impossible for him to avoid modifying its more commonplace features. And he adds a little here and he prunes little there. Point before precision is, it may be feared, sometimes even the historians motto. There are veracious narratives we feel bound to accept on the word of our friends. We should not have be- lieved the stories had any one else told them; as it is, We store them in our memories as splendid illustrations of the often quoted saying of the poet that truth is stranger than fiction.

THE SONG OF dHE FARM.

 The peoples that peep from the wheat at morn, With pearls of the night dew glittering still, The shadows that race OCT the waving corn And the shy little runnel down under the hill, The hoary old orchard whose trees arc bent, And the clover fields where the honeybees
 swarm. Cry Come to the cradle of calm contentl Come sec Mother Nature at homo on Q farmi Here arc pillows of meadow whose waves arc
 so sweet
 They perfume the air; here arc mountains of
 hay;
 Here arc little winds lost upon oceans of wheat, And butterflies shipwrecked in hollyhock
 spray
 Here is peace in the air and a smile in the sky And never a fear of deception or harm. From the cares and the woes of q city life fly To old Mother Nature, who lives on a farm" And so the old song from the cherry tree tops And arbors where Bacchus might gather a
 treat,
 From old fashioned sparrows that live in s
 copse
 And not in tho dirt of an i'll smelling street. From tho bees and the kline and the sentinel cry Of the cock, whose shrill clarion bodes no
 alarm, Rings out Co the city folk ever and aye Como back to Damo Nature; she lives on
 farm" New York World.

Sensitive knes Drill.

A new knse drill promises to be of spe- cial service in certain industries. Where such an appliance is required the work i' placed on table or block resting upon it, and the piece to be drilled is held by the operator and the table is raised by means of the knees to feed the work to the drill. This construction leaves both hands of the operator at liberty to handle the work, and at the same time permits a great degree of sensitiveness, since the resistance can be felt by the knees and the upward pressure regulated accor'l. ipgly. It is claimed that at least 30 per cent. more can be accomplished by this drill in a given time than by any othor similar desiee, owing to'the rapidity with which ths work can be adjusted and then performed-Nsw York Telegram.

lions. For several years Mir, Letter has occupied the Blaine mansion on Dupont circle, paying therefore, rental of $ll ,0OC year. After the fro which badly damaged the house year ago, MT Letter offered Mir.

 Now Mir. Letter is building house of his own, and tle fashionables of the capital are tallng great interest in it, because it ia promising to be the grand est house in Washington and the scene of the most lavish social entertainment. Mir. Letters new house will cost him $40 900, and the ground oa which it stands cost $65, ,000. The decorations and fur nishings will be $50, 900 more-snug sums even for millionaire. Here again the Colonial spirit rages. The house is to face Dupont circle, across the street from the Chinese legation, and on New Hampshire avenue is to be porte cochere, with columns running up to the top of the second story, like those in the White House colonnade.
 The interior is to be magnificent hard wood and enamel finishes, great oak staircase an old fashioned fireplace big enough to drive wagon through, and spacious parlors and drawing rooms in which a thousand guests may assem- ble without discomfort. Mr. Letter wants more ground, too, in order that he may enlarge his lawn, and for the additional space he will have to pay six dollars per square foot.

Bass Eats Bass.

Colonel Richard Bright had a remark able experience at Woodmont, on the Potomac, while fishing for black bass. He was casting with minHows of mod crate size and was slowly reeling in a small bass, when hungry three pounder shot out from his concealment and bolted the hooked fish bodily. The colonel be- came aware of the augmented strain on the reel and, by careful management, landed his double prize. The small bazs went into the maw of his big cannibal brother smoothly enough, but his sharp spines stuck in the throat of his captor and made escape impossible. The two bass were presented to the National mu- scum, where they are preserved just as they came from the Potomac, the tail of the small one projecting from the mouth of the larger The weight of the two is 3i pounds, Necessity knows no law" and hunger recognizes no relationship Forest and Stream.

Ae Untaught Diplomat.

"You know, Nick" said his mother, "a gentleman never asks for things, no matter how badly he wants them"
 Why doesn't he?" said Nick, opening very wide his round four. year-old eyes.
 Because it is impolite and greedy. That is why it annoys me so to have you ask your Uncle John, whenever he comes, if he has brought you candy. Remember, now, you must never do it any more"
 "But it's my candy-he says so-and he wants me to have it."
 Then he will certainly give it to you, and you must wait his time for it. If ever again here you ask him will not let you have it. Sopromise me that you will not. know my little boy wants to be a gentleman.
 Nick made the promise with very sober face. He was the normal small boy, not little angel, yet he had been trained upon honor," and felt that a promise once made could not be broken. This is the way he kept it. When Uucle John came again, his nephew, after greet ing him, leaned meditatively against his chair and said, You didn't bring anything but yourself this time, did you, Uncle Johny'
 "Yes, did" said Uncle John with a laughing shout; "I brought whole pound of candy, and after that l wish it was two. ."-Harper's Young People.

THE REMopELYp TRACY HOUSE.

Iwant to tell you something about an other new house here, one which at tracts the attention of every man and woman who takes drive in the swell section. It is the handsomest house in Washington, and its owner is quite as interesting as the house. Six years ago MT. T. F. Schneider was just starting out as young architect without clients, and not so sure where clients were to come from. Finally he concluded to build some houses on his own account, as the surest way of finding steady em- ployment for his talents. He started in on borrowed money, buying ground, building houses and then selling them, until he had performed the remarkable feat of building, at his own risk, 250 houses, costing from 5000 to $l5,000 each.
 All this was done in six years. In this period he bought a million dollars worth of ground and paid two millions to stone masons, brickmakers, for other build. ing supplies and for labor. In addition to this he has built 7j0 houses for clients.
 This remarkable record Mir. Schneider has just crowned with the erection of a home for himself. It stands in the midst of the l ,000 houses which he has built, fully one-half of them being visible from the balcony of his new home. Handsome as is this little palace in it's exterior, its greatest beauty is within. Here the extraordinary genius of this young architect has in labor of love wrought out the most original and charming effects.
 The best thing about this model resi- dence, to my mind, is that it apes noth- ing. It is neither Colonial nor Italian. It is not fad. Its character is its own. Originality, boldness and art are every where blended. What style is your house" some one asked Mir. Schneider. American" replied he, significantly. An American home it is, built not for purposes of socia. display, but to live in. There is not square foot in the little palace that fails to adaptitself in appear ance or utility to the functions of true home. To this $l50, 900 model residence the modest young architect, who has a record for which a parallel cannot be found in all the land, recently brought a charming bride.
