Town improvements.

A narrow residential street may be
q very attractive one If the houses
stand well back from the street line,
with pleasant grounds about them.
In growing town, however, the
danger from such conditions comes
from the liability to convert the
street to business purposes, or to
erect more compsctly disposed dwell
ipgs. II business comes in, the trans.
ition is commonly marked by jagged
lines. Commercial structure, often
of cheap and undesirable aspect,
are built out to the street, while the
dwellings, stand recessed back at ir-
regular intervals. And when at last
the street is fully occupied for bust
ness purposes. it is altogether too
narrow; the roadway and the eide
walks are cramped; and often widen
ing has to take place at the public
expense. IF built up to the lire 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 offered in the Massachusetts law
that empowers municipalities to es-
tablis1 ed building lines at any de-
sired distance back from the street
line. When such line is establish
ed, no building can be erected on the
intervening space. The municipality
acquires an easemsn in this strip OF
land, which can still be used by the
owner for anything but building pur-
poses, and, on the establishment OF
such line, owners may claim dam
ages, as in case taking for a street
, widening. 1t is, however, commonly
more of a benefit than a damage to
ave property thus restricted, for it
N hows a more permanently desirable
character to the street; and in case q
street widening should ever be called
for, no obstacle will stand in the way:
by taking the restricted strips there
will be ample room for the wider
roadway and sidewalks.
Ideals for attractive street plan.

of the United States. There is moth

IN WALKING LENGTH.

Short skirts, says the New York
Times, whether of that cut that clears
the ground by several inches or by an
inch only, are much in evidence. They
are seen not only in the fashionable
shops, in the railway stations, and on
trains, but on the avenue itself in
numbers. Two trim walking gowns
seen on Fifth avenue were worn by
women of medium hight and size, and
both were young--sensible as the short
costume is for every one. it must be
admitted that it is not becoming to the
middle-aged or stout woman. Such
should in travelling or walking have
their gowns clear the pavement not
over an inch, and strive for long eff
fects that give dignity; the Elton coat
should be avoided, and instead the
rather long coat should be worn. A
black mohair, just escaping the ground
and having deep tucks stitched to SIM
ulate box or side plaits in the skirt
from belt to hem, and a long three
quarter fitting coat to match, with
strapped seams or with the seams out
lined by rows of stitching, is a suit
able gown in good form and style for
women who are no longer young or
slender.

THE HYPHENxTED AMERICAN.

A wonderful power has the hyphen

Like a chain shot fired at the social
wall;
For nothing and nothing make all-in-
all,
When you join the two with a hy-
phen.
You don't need money, you don't need
sense,
To be a person OF consequence;
You go to the top Of the tallest fence
If you spell your name with a hy-
phen.
Now Brown is man you may neglect
And Jones is held in no more respect;
But Brown-Jones stands among the
elect, /,
For he spells his name with a hy-
phen.
And when he takes as his lawful mate
Miss Robinson Smith, 1t is safe to state
That the Robinson Smith Brown

More potent than pedigree or gold
For making the newest of families

BALL BEARING TRUCKS.
New Invention May RevoIutionise
Freight Carrying.


Freight Carrying.
Chicago. Aug. 1s.-Experiments are
being conducted by the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad with device that may
revolutionize the freight carrying busi-
ness. The experiments are being made
with a box car, the trucks Of which
are fitted with ball bearing journals.
which make the car run so easily that
a single person can move it.
This feat was easily accomplished to-
day by many persons who were ex-
amining the car as it stood in the
yards. The car was loaded with So
900 pounds of steel casting, and made
the trip to New Orleans, where it was
loaded with coffee and returned 10
Chicago.
The most important advantage claim
ed for the ball-bearing truck is the
great ease with which the cars fitted
with them can be moved. If they
prove practicable, train loads can east
ly be doubled and hauled with the
same power now used.
