Frederic Tudor. in an article on I'M

d~isparaging view Of the architecture OF

"Our modern dwellings are pretty,
they are tasty. etc., but in a construct
i've sense they are 'whited sepulchers.
A cheap and hastily built frame is COW
cred on one side with a veneer Of stone
or fancy bricks, or more often shingles,
and on the other with plaster and paint.

fectly drained foundation. On all sides
are hollow walls, the appropriate lurk-
ing places of foul air and vermin. and
on occasions the paths of fire. inaccessi-

h Community Financially.
Governor Francis Of Missouri, a man
we'll qualified TO know whereof he
speaks, at a recent convention of busi-
ness mel paid a tribute to the local
work of the paper in these words: Each
year the local paper gives from $500 to
SIS, 900 i'll free lines to the community
IN which it is located. No other agency
can or will do this. The editor. in pro-
portion to his means. does more for his
rown than any other ten men. and in all
fairness with men he ought to be sup
ported, not because you like him or ad-
mire his writings, but because the local
paper is the hest investment q commu-
nifty can make. 1t may not be brilliant
ly edited or crowded with thought, but
financially it is of more benefit to the
community than the teacher or preacher.
Understand me. l do not mean mentally
or morally, but financially, and yet on
the moral question you will find most
local papers on'the right side. Today
the editors of the home papers do the
most for the least money Of any people
on the face of the earth. Exchange.

HOSPITAL CONSTRUCTION.

How to Secure the Best Effects with sun
and Arafat Roofs and Wood Floors.
In the construction of the most i'm
proved hospitals in Germany at persent
cellars are abandoned for the pavilions
OF large establishments, as they have
long been for small ones, the opinion
being that no use can or should be made
Of them, a much better plan being to
allow the air to blow freely through un-
der the first floor. The proper number
of patients for q ward i'll general hospi-
tails is generally agreed to be 80, with
90 as the maximum for wards devoted
to certain kinds or classes Of patients. g
To secure the best effects of sun and
air the long axes Of the wards are made
to run north and south instead of east
and west, as in many Of the older hos.
pitfalls, this new arrangement giving sun
ON both sides of the room during some
part of the day and allowing day
room" or Stunning room," which is
now an indispensable part of every large
hospital ward, to be placed at the south
end. Flat roofs are preferred, without
air spaces between the rafters and CELL
ing, and covered with wood cement or
similar material. Opinions vary as to
the best flooring, some still preferring
wood, but the best material for walls is
agreed to be brick.
