SOUTH TAKOMA.
An Attractive New Subdivision Placed
on the Market.

An Attractive New Subdivision Placed
on the Market.
new subdivision, to be known as South
Takoma, was placed on the market yesterday,
and several parties have already engaged lots.
The property is that known as the Hagan
farm, and consists of forty-six acres. 1t Is To-
Gated five miles north of the city, between the
Blair and Sligo Mills road, which runs re-
spectively on the east and west side of it.
The Metropolitan Branch runs through the
tract, and Lamond and Stotts' Station are but
few minutes walk. Takoma is about five
minutes walk, and Brightwood but ten This
tract of forty-six acres has been subdivided
into about one hundred farm lots of one-half
to one acre each in area. A road has been
laid out through the centre connecting the
Blair and Sligo Mills roads, and upon this the
lots will face spring of delicious water is
situated on the land and by means of a ram
the owners will supply water to all the houses
In the subdivision. The purchasers of the
tract are Wyckof & Cahill, Mr. John Ridout,
Birney & Birney, G. r. Newman, and the
Alexandria Real Estate and Investment Com
pany. Capt. James 8. Wyckoff, of Wyckoff
& Cahill, who represents the owners, speaks
most frankly of the safety OF this property as
an investment. "The idea," he said, sis to
place the price of lots at such figure that the
sales will be quickly made. The lots will sell
for from three and one-half to six cents Der
square foot, about one-third the price of land
at Takoma, where three years ago property
sold for the same price we now offer these
lots. We realize that parties who desire to
purchase property in the country wish to do
so at reasonable prices. 1t is not likely that
land as favorably situated as Takoma which
is nearer the city and more easy of access,
will improve as this has done.'

at the execution of its poor mistress in
Fotheringay castle, After the roval
lady had been beheaded the faithful
creature refused to leave her dead body
and had to be carried out of the hall by
force. AT that period lapdogs were the
pets of men as we'll as of women. DIR.
Boleyn, a relation of the unhappy Queen
Anne Boleyn, owned one which" as il
is written, ''he dotted on" Anne once
asked him TO grant her one wish and in
return he should have whatever he might
desire. Knowing his affection for the
dog, she begged it of him and of course
the doctor had nothing to do but to give
it to her. And now, madam" he said
you promised to grant my request.

Precautionary Errors.

Most Of the shortcomings of the old
method of historical writing resulted
rom the fact that the world was looked
at from statical point of view, or rs if Il
picture of the world were series of de-
tached pictures of Things at rest The
human race and its terrestrial habitat
We're tacitly assumed to have been al
ways very much the same as at present.
One age was treated much like another,
and when comparisons We're made it was
after manner as different from the
modern comparative method as alchemy
was different from chemistry
As mems studies had not yet been
turned in such a direction as to enable
them to appreciate the immensely of
the results that are wrought by the
cumulative action of minute causes
they were disposed to attach too much
Importance to the catastrophe and mar
velous; and the agency cf powerful in-
dividuals-which uponauy sound theory
must be regarded us OF great importance
they not only magnitipd unduly but
rendered 1t unintelligible when they
sought to transform human heroes into
&omi-gods
1t thus appears that the way IN which
our forefatherS treated history was part
and parcel Of the way in which they re-
garded the world. Whether in history
or in the physical sciences, they found
themselves confronted by seemingly
chaotic mass of facts with which they
could deal only in vague and cropping
manner and in small detached groups
