Two Narrow Buildings,

Philadelphia may not be able to boast
the tallest buildings in the world but she
surely has her share of the narrowest. On
the corner of Chestnut and American
streets is located a building that at first
glance would seem to reflect seriously on
the sanity of the protector, but the multi
tude of prosperous tenants form II monu-
mcnt to the financial shrcwdness of tho
owners
From outside to outside of the walls the
structure is exactly feet wide. 1t is $50
feet deep, and there are four stories. Ev
cry room in it is occupied by shop of
some kind or by families, who seem to be
contented with their lot The walls are
over one foot thick. and this leaves less
than one yard for the inside space There
fore, it is physical impossibility for tho
tenants to occupy a full sized bed. If
they desire to sleep, it must be on a cot,
and the sleeper extends his body from
north to south Among the numerous in
dustries in this contracted building are a
tailor shop, a restaurant, u printing office,
a sign painting establishment and cigar
store.
Another narrow building is at Market
and Lctitia streets. 1t is five stories high
and foet inches wide. In its original
state this building was six feet widor than
at present, but city improvement cut ii
down to the present size. -philadelphia

The Hindoo on the snipe Chase.

During the last Christmas holidays we
formed party to 90 out a-shooting Our
boat had sailed a short distance up the
Bali "khal," which rises from the Palla-
pole 'beel' and falls into the Ichamati
near Rangun. We saw a pair of big
snipes to our right. The fowling piece
rang out and belched forth a cloud Of
smoke and small shot. One of the pair
was wounded in the leg and wings, but
managed to make Off, accompanied by its
mate, At short distance the pair took
refuge in piece of marshy land and be-
gan cawing in IA plaintive tone, which soon
collected half dozen of its fellows.
Our boat came alongside by this time
and as soon as the gun was raised sec
ond time strange sight met our view
The assembled birds formed ring around
the wounded bird, ms If to protect it from
our attack, while its mate busted itself in
relieving It's pain with its bill such a
spectacle made very soft impression on
our minds and unnerved our hands

lar, yoke or rcvors forming contrast to
the rest of the waist. White, being much
worn, often appears thus combined with
colored silks, but with black silk waists
turquoise, green, purple, pink and straw

pronounced stripe, either plain or fancy,
compose some very attractive waists, and
glace taffeta is also seen, but has been too
long and too much worn to stand very
high in fashionable favor 1t makes a
eCrviceable blouse to wear under an open

as a contrast to the material of which the
gown is mfslc. The front fold is often
finished with q little ruff1r or plating at
each side. and soft cravat of the same

FACT We. FANCY.

when last | strolled these ways with Grace
We Chatted of country place
And light expenses:
\ cottage framed IN flower beds,
Yard trees of hr-wth closed-cropped
heads
And rustic fences.
Then love was ever to be king
And all the days with songs should ring
And We should sing them:
Or | might play the rustic squire
And read the classics by the FIRE
If luck should bring them.
4 market gardener keeps the cot.
And bcets adorn the garden spot
SO much for fanoes.
Grace Welded some two years ago
a milionaire-she CHANGED to know
Ills circumstances!
