First Village Improvement Society.

The first village improvement society
of which there is any record was formed
in S~tockbridge, Mass. and was known
as the Laurel Hill association. 1t was
specially organized for the Improvement
of a knoll standing in the center of the
village which had been dedicated to
public use, and the improvement shaped
itself into a conversion Of this place Of
waste land into a public park. Later on
the society devoted itself to the i'm
provement of the public burial place.
Then it set about putting the streets and
sidewalks of the village in order. The
drift Of improvement thenceforth to pri-
vate property was natural and easy. and
every owner Of property in that model
village We'd with his neighbor in an
effort to perfect the condition of his
premises.

CHEAP STREET LIGHTING.
Logansport Owns and Operates an Eloc-
trio Plant at q Profit.

Logansport Owns and Operates an Elec-
trio Plant at q Profit.
Logansport is one of the most pro-
gressive Of the smaller cities of Indiana.
It's Is, 900 inabitants apparently contain
more than the usual ratio Of wide awake
citizens, and they exercise their talents
for the advancement Of the town. Ami
mated by this spirit, they have been
able to accomplish what most Of the
large cities of the country have found
it practically impossible to do. Indeed
these great cities find what appear in
superable difficulties thrown in their
way in sven undertaking to consider the
doing Of what this Indiana city has
done and is doing.
Logansport owns it's own electric
light plant and furnishes the current for
lighting 100 arc lamps wherewith to H.
Illuminate the streets and highways Of
that little city. We do not know abso-
lutely just now, but we venture to assert
that the cost for these street lamps, lamp
by lamp. is far less than what large
cities have to pay for like service Oh
their city streets. Yet in Logansport all
the public buildings, city hall, police
and fire stations are lighted at the city's
expense, and then, after all that is
done, Logansport makes a profit out Of
the light furnished the citizens over and
above the cost of the public lights.
1t looks very strongly as if the posi-
BILE reason why the little cities, in a
matter like this, can do what most of
the great cities cannot ever get near to
thinking Of doing is because the stake
of advantage, of private or corporation
profit to be gained in connection, is SO
enormously great in the latter as to
make it worth while to bear down all
opposition, no matter at what scruple,
risk or cost.

Farmers Want Cheap Money.

The advocates of free coinage in the
west and south don't take any stock"
in Bryan's occasional assertion that he
contends" that the adoption OF this
policy would put up the price of silver
to $1.29. Indeed they would lose all
interest in the agitation If they sup
posed that the silver dollar under free
coinage was to be worth as much as
the gold dollar is now. The real senti-
ments of these people are clearly ex-
pressed by james Kitchen. an extensive
farmer and stockman of Grayson, KY,
who, when asked the other day why he
was for free silver, made this reply:
am for free silver because I am in debt
and II we get free coinage l can pay my debts
with one-half OF what IL now costs under our
pre- ent money standard. And another reason,
employ laborers on my farm. They are the
creditors. l am the debtor. Under free coin
age can pay them with onehalf II costs me
now, for 1t will raise the price OF products.
and can then hire my farm help for 90 cents
day and pay them in bacon Mt 10 cents n
pound.
It must become more and more plain,
as the campaign proceeds, that this Is
the motive and must be the result of the
free coinage agitation. The question at
issue will thus finally resolve itself into
the larger question, whether the Ameri-
can people still believe that honesty 10

4 Portraits Eyes.

WolIaston's curious discovery was
that by adding to each pair of eyes
nose directed to the right or the left the
eyes lose their front direction and look
to the right or left, according to the d.
rection of the nose. By means of flap
representing the lower features in a
different position, as DIR. Wollaston re-
marks, "a lost look of devout abstrac-
ton in an uplifted countenance may be
exchanged for an appearance OF lnqulsi-
tive archness in the leer Of younger
face turned downward and obliquely
toward the opposite side. "
As by changing the direction OF the
lower features we change the direction
of the eyes, so by changing our position
the eye of the portrait apparently fol-
lows us. If vertical line be drawn
through The tip of the nose and half
way between the eyes, there will be
the same breadth of head, Of cheek, OF
chin and Of neck on each side OF tins
middle line, and each iris will be in the
middle of the whole eye. If we now
move to one side, the apparent horizon
tai breadth of every part of the head
and face will be diminished, but the
parts on each side of the middle line
will be diminished equally, and at any
position, however oblique, there will
be the same breadth of face on each side
of the middle line, and the iris will be
in the center of the whole OF the eye
ball, 30 that, being on fiat surface,
the iris will be seen in front of the pic
tnre OF obliquely. Notes and Queries
