COUNTRY SUMNER HOUSES.
Their Number Is Increasing Ncnr
EYery ImpOrfant City.


There is an increasing tendency at the
present time tor city residents tc es-
tablish country homes for the summer.
The freedom experienced is by most
people never forgotten, and there is a
fixed desire to enjoy country life dur
ing the summer and early autumn. AS
soon as the children are out of school
for the summer vacation there is an an
rual procession toward the green fields
and the shady woods, the hills of pros
pect and the streams and lakes of pure
water. That this feature of our social
life will be permanent there can be no
doubt, for the physical advantages of
three or four months of country life
each year cannot well be overestimated.
and the pleasures are such as cannot be
secured in city residence.
Although the presence of the adult
male persons of the family is required
in the city during business hours, Yet

siderable distance may be traversed and
they are able to enjoy a few hours of
pure country air il the evening and an
hour or two in the morning as special.
preparation for their city work. But
the distances from business centers
must not be too great, hence the latter
are established in the city suburbs.
usually within radius of 20 to so miles.
The comfort of the family demands
poultry and eggs, and milk and the
produce of the good garden, and horse
or two must be kept, therefore one man
at least, win be required on the place.
Hence, in view of the expense. the sug-
gestion occurs to many persons that it
may be met by the profits that accrue
from commercial fruit growing or the
raising of poultry, or the conduct of a
small or medium-sized dairy. Such eX
pectations or dreams may be pleasant
as long as they remain as dreams. but
putting such ideas into practice disSi-
pates ruthlessly the fairy-like visions.
Let no one think to recoup his purse by
such ventures In the nature of the
case they must be failures. The I'M
skilled fruit grower or pouitryman or
dairyman, conducting his business
through an agent. though the latter
may be a practical man. cannot COM
pete with trained workers whose main
tenance depend on their labor. The
rational course for proprietors of coun-
try residences to take. and the one that
will give the greatest amount of enjoy
ment with the minimum of regrets, is
to develope the horticultural capaci-
ties of their possessions In the first
place the family have the benefits and
comforts of fruit and vegetable gar
den, and then the rest of the grounds
can be devoted to lawn and trees and
Towering shrubs and Towering plants
of all kinds. To what extent the beau

of the proprietor. 1t may be little or
much. according to these circumstances.
but it will always be productive of pleas
ure and satisfaction. The summer coun-
try residences of city jewellers will yet
form distinct and beautiful feature of
rural life. and the social intermingling
of city and country jewellers will be to
both influential for good.-Viek's Maya

What name, please?'
Tell Mr.. Wentworth lady wishes to
see him"
The boy departed rather obviously,
for he knew that his message was de-
cidedly irregular in a business Office
People should give their names.
"a lady to see you, SIR" he said to
Wentworth, and then, just as the boy
had expected, his employer wanted to
know the lady's name. Ladies are not
frequent visitors at the Offices of an
accountant in the city, so Wentworth
touched his collar and tie to make sure
they were in their correct position,
and, wondering who the lady was,
asked the boy to show her in.
How do you do, Mr.. Wentworth ,"
she said, brightly, advancing toward
his table and holding out her hand
Wentworth caught his breath, took her
extended hand somewhat Imply. then
he pulled himself together and said:
This is an unexpected pleasure, Miss
Brewster"
Jennie blushed very prettily and
laughed a laugh that Wentworth
thought was like little ripple of mu-
sic from mellow flute.

We'll, in the first place you may ask
me to take a chair, and in the second

The prospect did not seem to be so
alluring to Wentworth as one might
have expected when the announcement
was made by girl so pretty and dressed
in such exquisite taste. but the young
man promptly offered her chair, and
then sat down with the table between
them. She placed her parasol and a
few trinketS she had been CARRYING on
the table, arranging them with some
care; then, having given him time to
recover from his surprise, she flashed a
look at him that sent a thrill to the
finger tips of the young man. Yet a
danger understood is danger half
overcome; and Wentworth, uncon-
sciously drawing a deep breath, nerved
himself against any recurrence of
feeling he had been trying to forget.

grimly, but only half convincingly, to

FORTS ARE THEIR FORTE.
Queer FOrtifcntiOns of the Spania rds
in the Island of Cuba.

The forte of the Spaniard is fort build
ing. Cuba is the scene of his greatest
and most varied endeavor in that art
of war. From the hour that the arriv-
ing steamer passes under the frowning
front of Moro castle at the mouth of the
Havana harbor until departure from the
island one is never out of sight of some
kind of fortifcation. The Spanist
army has not done much fighting in
this war, because, perhaps. it has not
been possible to bring the insurgents
to battle, but these little fellows from
the farms among the Pyrenees have for
titled with amazing industry.
From Pinar del Rio to Santiago de
Cuba the defenses are conspicuous
everywhere. Something to turn a bull
let is the end in view. With this idea
the Spaniards have given ingenuity of
construction full sway. When the war
is over not the least of Cuba's attrac-
tons for the visitor will be the forts.
They number not hundreds. but thou
sands. There is fort of some kind in
Cuba for every ten insurgents under
arms. And the building still goes on.
Not many days ago party of Havana
people went out to the suburbs of the
city to witness the dedication of new
fort. as similar party might have gone
from an American city to celebrate the
formal installation of some new in
dustry. The new fort was finished in
a style BETTING its proximity to the
capital of the island. 1t was given a
name. The ceremonies of the formal
opening of the fort for business were
duly reported in the papers.
The forces of the revolution number
$4,000 by the claims of the leaders. and
$4,000 by the admissions of the Spanish
government. The supply of ammuni-
ton is so scanty that the general in
struction to the soldiers is: Not sim
gle cartridge may be wasted" Against
such an enemy. the Spaniards have
dotted the island with these thousands
of forts. Much of this fortifying is
voluntary work. The Spanish soldier
seems to have an Unborn liking for it,

THAT is just what George Wentworth

most charming hypocrisy, the young
woman thanked the professor for the
music to which she had not listened ic
the least.
We'll, how did you enjoy yourself ~
said Wentworth, when they had got
outside again. 1t was a clear, star

Women of Long Ago.

Long before the Nazarene there were
Greek and Roman vestal virgins, whose
chaste lives led through rosy paths and
who were spared all the unpleasant
things of life, but not so the Christian
nun, whose life has always been devoted
to work, obedience and poverty. One of
the early arts was Illuminating, where
color and form were used to express
words, and prior to the discovery of
printing many of the early Bibles were
the work of devoted women in convent
life. One miracle women have always
performed is that of unselfishness, and
clustered women have been preeminent
in demonstrating that love of God and
man is the essence of Christianity
