mo sir, there is no such thing
as fusion, as that word is COM
monty understood. The Alliance will
not advocate it openly in the form OF a
resolution. There may be SUCH a thing as
placing = man with Democratic procliyi-
ties on our ticket. but he must stand on
our platform. conform to our principles,
and talk our politics. We Will tolerate
nothing less"

men back TO their old parties to vote the
national ticket, but hardly believe that
in the matter OF state ticket it will

American Country Homss.

Very beautiful houses have been
built In America of late. from city
homes that are little palaces to mod
est country cottages which are none
the less sensible for being eminently
picturesque. AS a rule our country
houses are the best. Here we are
most successful because at once most
rational and most individual, least
conventional and initiative, least be-
set by the desire for mere display or
for mere collecting. Here we have
most frequently asked for just what
we wanted, and wanted things of a
sensible kind Here our native de-
sires and tastes most genuinely ex-
press themselves, and we find the
buildings we should prefer to show a
foreigner as both very American and
very good.
OF course here and there in our
cities we may pick out a building
which equals our best country homes
in true excellence and surpasses them
by far in pure architectural impor-
lance But | am speaking now of
classes of buildings, and | am sure
we have better right to be proud Of
our country homes as a class than
of our municipal structures, our
churches, our business blocks or any
thing else that is ours. Naturally
we may be glad Of the fact, in view
of their typical, representative char
acter, To have begun well in the
buildings which most clearly show
the desires and aims Of the American
people as a whole, entities us to hope
for future success along all other
architectural paths. Mrs. Schuyler

Rules for Young Artists.

1t may aid our young artists to re-
member few simple rules for pro-
portion while drawing the human
figure. Eight heads is the correct
height. according to the Greek
standards, for full grown man or
woman. A line drawn from thigh
to thigh marks the exact half of the
figure. When the arms are fully ex-
tended the distance from tip to tip of
the middle fingers ought to be the
exact height of well proportional
person. The knees should be exactly
half way between the thigh line and
the bottom of the heel.
Standing straight the elbows
should just touch the hips; hand
should be the length of chin level to
the hair. A foot should be the
length of the head from the top to
the chin level. The chest from one
armpit to the other should be one
fifth of the height of the entire body,
and the distance from elbow to
breast middle should be the same as
from elbow to finger tip. New York

The Maid of Ratisbon.

Another political legion is gone. In
France the Maid of Ratisbon, who by
her intrepidity saved whole French
army from destruction during the
Napoleonic wars, has long been believed
in no less implicitly than Joan of Arc or
Jeanne Hachette of Beauvais or the
Maid of Saragossa. General Marriott, in
his memoirs, gives the true version of
the story. After the assault upon Rats
bon, he says, he was in command of a
column which was ordered to occupy
bridge affording the only line of retreat
for the Austrians. Losing my way
among the streets of the town." he goes
on to say, IL suddenly saw young
woman spring up before me, crying;
Save me. am Frenchwoman.' She
was dressmaker established in business
at Ratisbon. | asked her to show US the
way to the bridge. but as we were still
under fire, she was afraid. Thereupon
/ ordered her to be led by the arm at
the head of the column by two grena-
diers She shrieked, but it was of no
use. One of the grenadiers was wound
ed in the arm, and the blood spurted
over the poor, terrified woman. She
tainted and had to be carried. Napo-
leon, having heard the story, asked to
see the little dressmaker and comph-
mented her upon the service she had
rendered the army. This was the origin
of the legend. London News.

Punctuality.

Some wiseacre defines punctuality
as Fifteen minutes beforehand. All
very well for those who can afford
to waste minutes SO eXtravagantly,
and very well, too, if the party Of
the second part is not a quarter of
an hour behindhand.
Women are stigmatized as the
greatest sinners against punctuality,
an accusation so unjust that it must
be met with the scornful silence
which it deserves. A beautiful leg
end is frequently alluded to in this
connection, as showing how the I'M
punctual habits of one woman led
her husband to utilize the fragments
of time, which would otherwise have
been wasted, in the composition of a
learned and valuable treatise. That
poor, much maligned woman did
perhaps fail sometimes in her wifely
duty to be at the head of her table at
the exact hour of dinner.
But when she happened to be on
time and found that her lord and
master was engaged, and was further
pluming himself on taking advantage
of her hardness, she made a point of
giving him daily those precious mo-
ments. For her husbands gratifica-
ton she became punctually late, and
thus, with the self effacement of her
sex. allowed herself to go down to
later ages as warning example,
