Los SOIareS del enSanche

Alemos de suponer, porque no cabe otra
cosa deptro lie 10 logico, que el principal obje.
two que obedece ell derribo del lienzo de mu-
ralla qlle da el frente 4 los campos de Puerta
de Terra, es fomentar ell ensanche de la ciudad,
para que cese la possible brevedad ell hacina-
mento en- que vivimos, atropellando todas las
leyes de la hygiene en- algunos casos, hasta
de la moral pdblica.
va estan ampliamente dilucidadas las innu.
merables ventajas que sc derivaran con ell en-
sanche, y no hay para que repetirlas. La gran
question de hoy es marcar las GALES, designar
las manzanas de casas, hacer los desmontes
que suavicen los terrenos proceder d la venta
de solares, todo con la mayor actividad, con el
Tin de que los que Sc hallen dispuestos fabri-
car, adquieran derechos puedan ocuparse del
acopio de los necesarios materiales.
.'~ No c9nocemos los procedimientos que sc
segulran para la venta de solares nj los precios
de tasaci6n,. que seguramente variaran segun
los sltlos tamahos. Ignoramos tambien 81

como necesarlos en- estos abrasadores climas.
Como el ensanche de esta Capital no lleva
nj remotamente idea de especula laci6n, es de
suponer que ell Estado ell Municipio, adop-
taran ell sistema de remate en- subasta por pile
gos cerrados, pero siempre baj 10 la condici6n de
que las ventas sc haran sobre la base de pagar
ell importe ofrecido en- diez plosos, ell primero
al contado y ell resto en nueve amos, por parties
lguales, sin intereses, quedando ell rematista
oblgado comenzar las obras ell termino de
un aiio terminarlas en- ell plazo de dos, con

tado 81 no cumple 10 convenido, a menos de

solar. Ell Estado s Municipio quedartan mas
que garantizados con las obras levantadas en-
los terrenos vendidos hasta facilmente podrfa
levantar algun emprestito, 81 no 10 necesitase,
con tan excelentes garantfas. ~
Nj por un momento dudamos del plausible

purpose, and every sheet of it is
counted. In fact, from the time the
paper enters the press.until it nerges
a sheet of stamps in the storage rooms
it passes through fourteen divisions,
every one of which registers the sheet,
and these must tally as to totals at the
close of the day before an employe is
permitted to leave the building.
Every time the pressman runs
plate through his machine he removes
it and reinks it. Upon this largely
depends the perfection of the impress
sion. After linking the plate he rubs
the surplus ink from the surface with
brush Then he passes his hands
over a cake of chalk and rubs the plate
briskly with his bare palms. This
cleans the exposed parts of the plate
thoroughly and leaves the ink in the
lines which are to convey the impress
sion to the paper. The printer soon
becomes mass of ink from his hands
to his elbows, and sooner or later COM
municates it to his face, as we'll as
daubing it over his apron. A carmine
colored ink is used in printing the two
cent stamps, and the pressroom has a
decidedly sanguiuary appearance. The
young lady assistants average about

quently at the river mouth-no, not by
the river mouth.a certain East End
family owned a COW. She was just an
ordinary COW in all respects, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, save one. The
siren whistle had remarkable effect
upon her. Every blessed time the
whistle started in to vail and moan
that COW started up vigorous series
of moos. And the most curious fea-
ture about it was that the cows vocal
effort ran up and down the scale in q
fairly close imitation of the whistle.
"Too-oo-oooo-ooo," would 60 the
siren.
"Moo-oo-oooo-ooo," would 60 the
COW.
But there was always wild cres-
cendo shrek at the end of the SIRENS
effort that no cow-no matter how &c
complished-could hope to rival. And
this cow-being a sensible and rather
phlegmatic animal-didn't attempt to.
But her efforts within reasonable limits
never failed to arouse the hilarious at
tentions of the neighbors, and fire.
quently caused strangers to pause by
the fence and listen open-mouthed to
the astonishing performance.

Riding an ORtrich.

are the best riders on earth, but they
cannot ride ostriches. I saw thl'
pretty thoroughly tried on one occa
sion. A cowboy who had vanquishet
every pony he ever undertook to breal
in was induced to try on ostrich. Al
ter an hours hard work he succeeded
in mounting the bird, which at hrs
tried to shake him off, then to ge
away by running, but these tactics, o
course, had no effect upon the COW
boy. Then, in spite of all the NAL
could do, the ostrich succeeded II
getting its head around and seizinl
the man by one leg. He doubled M
feet under him, and the ostrlcl
succeeded in getting a good hold o
his back. throwing him heavily to thu

All Things in the Hands of the Father.

Some feel born to fly, but have no wings.
Others think they are made for public life,
but the public thinks differently. Some
have wealth, while others can never get
ahead; their interiors wear the honors and
reap the haryests. Hearts made for homes
have no homes. Those not fitted for re-
sponsibilities struggle under them. Work,
sacrifice, saving, are followed by loss. Inc
rainy day comes, and nothing Is laid by.
Health goes, and brave and daring spirits
are shut within four walls for years, leaving
them only for narrower walls. Today there
is a cloudless sky; tonight swift shadow;
tomorrow all will be dark. These, are fire.
ouent experiences. They burn like white
hot iron. They startle, then daze; then
comes the vague wonder whether there ts
anything but everlasting disappointment
and never-opening mystery. What shall
be said? This Is the golden key which will
unlock all dark doors: Interpret God ny
His fatherhood. Try any other; the doors
move not Try this they swing on silent
hinges. God Is Father. He sees and knows
all, and he allows that to come to each which
each most needs. His purpose Is blessing.
All are in the hands of One who is doing
what earthly fathers do for their children
the very best possible. "But am disap-
pointed p Do you never disappoint your
child for his good? "But I do not get
what want" DO you allow your cnllo 10
have everything he wants? "But suffer
terrible agonyr' Do you never have to
o rmit your child to suffer3 "But my
heart is breaking over what can never
come back to mei.' What do you do when
your child sobs with broken heart Do
you not take him in your arms and stroks
the hot head aud speak soothing word 81
What if the heavenly Father Is anxious to
do the same? Interpret God by his father
hood. When there are limitations which
cannot be broken, remember the Father
placed them there; when ideals are unful-
flled forever, ask If your ideal for yourself
and the fathers are the same. When wealth
goes something better will come in its place.
When death lnvades, the peace OF God waits
to come in. fall things are in the Fathers
hands, they must work for the good OF all.
And they do. The hours may seem DARK,
but the years are bright. The years may
seem in shadow, but the centuries are IN
sunlight. Out OF the darkness OF tonight is
born the brightness of tomorrow. Inter-
pref God by His fatherhood.

Houses without Chimneys.

It is curious, though true, that of all
the houses, dwellings, stores, hotels
and other buildings that dot the ISL
and of Key West, Fla, from one shore
to the other, not one of them has a
chimney or anything that will answer
the purpose of chimney. Handsome
residences and lowly novels are alike
in this respect, and from an eminence
gazing out over acres of roofs on all
sides one is struck with the want of
something to complete the symmetry
of the picture. Wood and coal or fuel
of any kind are unknown quantities,
as the tropical atmosphere furnishes
all the heat required, and for cooking
purposes sticks of carbon are used,
which are sold by peddlers, who hawk
their wares about the streets.-Atlan-

The lawyer was pleased with this
work of art. He loaded down the
office boy with volumes, and put the
card on top. Then the boy went
downstairs and laid the books by the
curb with the card leaning against the
pile. As he started upstairs for an
other load he noticed that small
crowd was gathering. When he
reached the sidewalk, with another
load there wasn't a book left of the
original pile. The card was lying on
the walk, and perhaps twenty people
we're staring at it. As he advanced q
number of them grabbed the books
before he could lay them down. They
met him at the foot of the stairs when
he appeared with the third load, and q
swaying mass of eager people pressed
forward for more. They were on the
stairs waiting for him when he brought

The people he could see men running
from various directions to find out the
cause of the trouble. Well, the books
we're soon gone, and the card went,
