Americans Are Forest Lovers.

OF all the forest-loving races of Eu-
rope, none has sought the woods for the
woods sake, like unto the Engllsh-speak-

the spectacle of an annual migration to
the wilderness in such magnitude as do
the Americans of to-day. They 60 with
the eagerness of hounds loosed from
the leash, and, buoyant with the spirit
of adventure, accept adventure S strokes
OF rewards with the indifference or de-
light of knight of La Mancha. Nor
have the Americans stayed at the mere
enjoyment of their adventure: they
have embodied it in their literature
They have been the fist people to intro
duce into fiction the life, savage and
civilized, of the forest, and to portray
i'll classical accents the real lite Of the
woods the lakes, and the plains. Their

and through the desolaton of Snake

llghtened by his tribeshlp with the

spirit OF the wilderness, and has drawn

Wide Streets.

y narrow residential street may be Il
very attractive one if the houses stand
well back from the street line. with
pleasant grounds about them. In a
growing town, however, the danger
from such conditions comes with the
liability to convert the street to bust
ness purposes. or to erect more com
pactly disposed dwellings. If business
comes in, the transition is commonly
marked by jagged lines. Commercial
structures, often of a cheap and unde-
Slrabe aspect are built out to the
street, while the dwellings stand re-
cessed back at Irregular intervals. And
When at last the street is fully occupied
tor business purposes, it IS altogether
too narrow: the roadway and the side
walks are cramped, and often a widen
ing has to take place at the public eX-
pense. ii built up closely to the line
with dwellings, the street is likely to
lack air and sunshine, and the tendency
is toward squalid conditions.
An excellent remedy for these evils is
o1ereQ IN the Massachusetts law that
empowers municipalities to establish
building-lines at any desirable distance
back from the street.-The. When such
a line is established, no buildings can be
erected Oh the intervening space. The
municipality acquires an easement IN
this strip of land, which can still be
used by the owner for anything but
building purposes, and, on the establish
ment of such line, owners may claim
damages, as in case Of takingS for a
STRENGTHENING. It is, however, com
monty more of a benefit than a damage
to have property thus restricted for il
assures a more permanently desira ble
character to the street; and in case a
street widening should ever he called
by taking the restricted strips, as there
will be ample room for the wider road
way and sidewalks.
Ideals for attractive street-planmg
are to be found III many parts OF the
United States. There is nothing more
charming as a rural street than that of
a New England village at its best-lofty
alsIes OF LEAKAGE, the trees with feet in
d carpet OF turf at the sidewalk border:
the houses, quiet and unobtrusive,
standing well back, and marked with
the true home character. whether they
are humble cottages or abodeS of the
rich. The noblest development of such
rural streets is to be found in the Old
towns OF the Connecticut valley aud in
western Massachusetts. There the
main highways have an eXtrao ordinary
generous width, often giving room for
quadruple rows of Old eimS and broad
spaces Of turf. the roadway requiring
only a narrow space in the total width
