A Young Man Expires From Heart
Disease at a Variety Theatre.
Death appeared in an unexpected
locality last night and claimed VIC
tim. His cold hand was felt at the
Washington variety theatre by Chas.
w. McCroquardals, as he was sitting
in seat in the parquet in company
with his friend. Just as song and
dance had been executed, he fell back
and became unconscious. He was re-
moved to the outer lobby but died
before medical aid could arrive.
Heart disease was the cause of death,
as the coroner learned on his arrival
and on holding the inquest.
Deceased was grain buyer for the
firm of Hunt & Booth, was about 25
years of age, a widower, with one son.
He was of strictly temperate habits
and was we'll liked. His relatives

PERSPECTIVE VIEW OF COUNTRY HOUSE.
 A tall house, or one with tower, upon a small lot in the country, is out of keeping with the surroundings. Besides, low house, somewhat rambling in its external appearance and simple in design, is more restful to the eye, giving an air of comfort and liberality and of genuine hospitality within. Simplicity and unconventionality are the real charms of country life, and were best illustrated in New England home life in the days of the colonies, when the spinning wheel instead of the modern piano occupied the time and attention of the girl of the period; when our grand fathers cracked nuts and drank cider by the open wood fire in temperature of 65 degS Fahrenheit by the light of "tallow dip" instead of eating swell dinners and drinking champagne in steam heated apartments at 90 degs Fahrenheit in the glare of the electric light.
 would not raise my voice against prog ress in the arts and sciences, but is there not a happy medium between the extremes whereby the modern love of luxury and display may be tempered with more of the sweetness of home life, as it was in the "ollcu daySs"
 The accompanying cuts represent the plans and perspective view of sensible and comfortable country house, which is de- signed to be located in the middle of large plot of ground. The building has au ex. treme frontage of 70 feet and is one and a half stories in height, with the roof prettily broken with gables and dormer windows.
