outlook for western Architecture.

Take it altogether the outlook for
western city houses seems most pro1nis-
ing. Western people themselves are be-
coming, and will still more become, al
most ideal clients. 1t is true that, as in
the east, western city dwellings have not
escaped the deadly touch of the "know-
it-al' client. nor of the man who is
building the house to suit himself, IS nor
of him who lis going to live inside the
house, not outside. I" and who is therefore
loftily Indifferent to the street aspect of
his house: but each. even the last per-
son. is becoming infrequent
In the past, and to some degree at
present. western cities have been and
are influenced by men whose lives have
been absorbed by things too material to
leave them much leisure for art; but
even in the case of such men there is a
marked indisposition to dictate in direc-
tions where their knowledge is incom-
plete. They have large openness and
unbiased attitude of mind, and genu-
inc and earnest desire to '.get the best >
In the west is less often found than in
the east the aesthetic crank and it is
also true that life in the west is less con-
ventional, freer, less restrained by arti-
lcial restrictions than in older commu-
mites, and the true nature of people and
things is perhaps more frankly ex-
pressed. John W. Root in Scribner's.

At a religious convention held in western
town each minister was required to give an
account of the condition of his charge, and if
prospering receive congratulation, or, If not,
TO receive advice and encouragement, with
perhaps aid.
In his turn arose very deliberate speaker
and reported that his congregation was
lookin' up.n Before he could add another
remark the next delegate n order was called
for his report, and so on until all were heard
from. Then came the chairman's remarks to
each delegate When he came to the afore-
said deliberate speaker he said he must con-
graduate his brother from the far west upon
his being able to report that his congregation
was ''looking up,n whereupon the deliberate
speaker arose and said that he should prob
ably have added that, as they were fiat on
their backs, it was the only way they could
look. Press

Hiram Powers was the eighth of nine
children, and he was very small boy
when his father died, and he had to
go to work for the family. He had
been born in Vermont, but his parents
had moved out to Ohio in that way
poor people have of roaming hither and
yon after better luck.
1t was in Ohio that the father died,
and in Ohio that Hiram fought his
youthful battle. For seven years he
had charge of the wax figures in Gin
cinnati museum. and it was while there
that he felt an impulse toward his flu
ture art, and tried his prentice hand at
modelling in clay.
But it was not until he was thirty
years old that he was at liberty to
strike out for himself, and he was
thirty two before he had money enough
to go to Italy. Yet he was to be the
sculptor of the Greek Slaver'-Youth's
Companion.

A Point Ahant Moving.

Here's point that everybody who
moves ought to bear in mind; Get the
carpets TO your new house if you have
to carry 'em on your back. and get 'em
put down before the van gets there.
Then the driver and helper will put
your stuff where you want it in the
proper rooms It's just as easy for the
worknen. and if the floors are ready it
will save a vast amount of bother for
the family. As rule people are SO un-
systematic that they pack their carpets
around pictures and centre tables and
the like, so that it's days job to get at
them, and several days job to get the
carpets down, shifting heavy boxes and
chairs meantime, and finally making
floor full of wrinkles and quite possibly
of rents.-Infsrview in New York Sun.

As the majority of women have black,
brown and gray hair the wisdom of the
advice is apparent as far as street gowns
are concerned To dress well means to
dress appropriately for each occasion.
