A NOVEL ENTRANCE WAY.

NOVEL ENTRANCE WAY.
Architect Rosslter, who is constantly
improving the grounds about his beauti-
full summer home, has Just had built a
novel entrance way to his grounds,
Down near Judd's Bridge he found q
rock near the railroad II feet, eight in
ches long and four feet wide and weigh
ing about 5000 pounds. He hired Merrill
Fem to draw it to the Green, and two
other heavy stones, one weighing over q
ton. Samuel Nicholas, an experienced
stone mason from Ridgefleld, was en-
gagged, and when his work was COM
pleted Mr. Rossiter had an entrance way
something after the order Of the diagram
following. 1t was great undertaking,
as might be imagined, to elevate stone
weighing more than two tons Is feet into
the air and deposit 1t on the piers pro-
vided. But an immense oak stands near
the entrance and to this was attached
three sets of tackle, so there was little
chance of it getting away. 1t was a
ticklish job, nevertheless, and reflected
credit on the mason In charge. Follow
ing is the diagram of the entrance way

 1 would have q bureau which should be conducted for the welfare of it's applicants, the purpose being to assist men and women who are mentally and physically fitted for each other to. become acquainted. Persois whose professional skill would make them competent to do so should examine each applicant, and upon the books of the bureau should appear the statements re- garding both the weak and the strong poiL ts of the body and mind of the person, together with record of his or her preferences concerning nationality, religion, family st and ing, age, stature. learning, occupa- tion, knowledge of household affairs, complexion, fea lures, disposition an d financial condition.
 Surely there is nothing lIn such an idea to cause the most refined man or woman shrug of the shoulders And could we have such burea us people would register at them and have their charts filled out with no thought whatever that they were doing anything unmanly or unwonanly, and many a wom- an who will no be united with a person who Is her inferior, just for the sake of getting married, would theL have opportunity to becom e acquainted with somebody whose nature would b end with her own.
 For one 1 believe that, taken as q whole, marriages made under such intelligent direction would be as tru. ly love matches as the marriages made under the present social ar engagements. Such a plan would al so be blessing to a great number of lives and make opportunity for a truer expression of woman's nature
