Animals rs They Sleep.

"In mild weather." says a gentleman
farmer quoted by the Philadelphia
Record, my horses and cattle sleep
afcld and sometimes wander softly
among them in the moonlight. 1t is
strange to see how they lie, with every
head pointed in the same direction, the
direction from which the wind IS blow
ing. DO you know why that is? 1t is
because they have in them an instinct
of fear, and they front the wind so
that their keen noses may catch in
stantly the first breath of an approach
ing danger. Poor things! All you
have to do is to approach softly from
behind, and you can be right in among
them before they are aware of it. My
horses are even more cautious than
my cattle, for they, in addition to fac
ing the wind. sleep also with one ear
cooked backward. Then l have dog

Improve the Entrancea.

In improving and identifying town
more time and thought should be given
to its approaches. The effect of first
impression is rarely effaced. Travellers
wisely plan their approaches to famous
cities so as to have their beauties flash
at once upon the sight The foreigner
who sails up New York bay will for
give much of the ugliness he will see
later for the sake Of that first view.
The approaches to city or town ought
to be worked out as thOughtfully as
the approaches to a private estate or a
great exposition. and when the time
comes the problem should be put into
the hands of experts. 1t ought to be
no impossible thing to make the way
in and out of a town or city attractive.
That first impression. so easily formed.
so sensible. is worth propitiating.

AMERICAN ARCHITECTURE.
Too Much Indifferent Building In
This Country.


The present condition of American
architecture is not particularly hopeful,
says the Springfield (Mass) Republic
an. There Is too much imitation, too
much ostentatiOn, too much Indifferent
and wholesale building. The average
modern house does not represent any
ones taste in particular. 1t is simply
a house built In the prevailing mode
with callous Indifference. Before any
improvement can be made there must
be general stirring up among the
architects, among the public, among
the real estate men and contractors
who do SO large a proportion of the
new work. AS trained experts the ar
chitects owe 1t to the public to exert
their influence in every way for the
promotion of taste.
The number of people who are inter-
ested in architecture has greatly in
creased in recent years, and surely an
opportunity could be made for some
work of the university extension sort.
prevails 1t will be held that one has no
more right to offend his neighbors by
an architectural monstrosity than by
any other sort of nuisance.
In several European cities plans for
new houses must pass the censorship
Of a commission, and nothing glaringly
out of harmony is tolerated. In some
American cities the height of a new
building is already regulated by mu-
nicipal law. In Paris the experiment
has been successfully tried of Offering
prizes for the best new house in a
given street or block, and excellent re-
suits have been shown.

ON THE RIGHT COURSE.
Building Improvements Contemplate
ed by Towns and Cities.


It is intensely gratifying to find a
number Of American cities and towns
considering broad plans for improving
their appearance, says the Worcester
Spy. 1t is being realized more and
more that the construction of good
building here and there does not neces-
sarily mean much so far as the general
aspect Of city Is concerned. The mo
ment, however, that the relations of
buildings to one another BON to be
considered by any city or tCSvn there
is reason to believe that 1t Is on the
right course.
Commissioners have been abroad
from the city of Washington to study
the cities of the old world in order that
they might give to the nations capital
the best possible designs for adding to
its beauty. Cleveland, o.. a city whose
residence section Is as beautiful as the
business section is ugly, is now con-
sidering a plan for grouping public
buildings. including the federal, mu-
nicipal and library buildings, to form
when the scheme Is realized grand

is being considered how each building
may best add to the effect of others
Eventually a considerable portion Of
Cleveland where the buildings, with
certain exceptions, are old and bad
must be made over. and the present
movement toward harmonious arrange
Of 10 i,
ceSsful, may have an effect reaching
further than its advocates dream.
The Chicago exposition has perhaps
been the most potent influence toward
creating better thought about building
that has ever been felt in this country.
The Pan-American exposition at Buffa-
10 Is also full of suggestion. What these
expositions will eventually bring about
for American cities and towns Is past
comprehension. All Of the American
cities and towns can do much for them
selves when once they think more
broadly upon questions concerning their
adornment. If 1t is reprehensible for a
person to be careless about his appear
ance, 1t is infinitely more so for a city
or town to be Indifferent as to it's ap-
pearance.

The old that Is bad should make room
for something better. The thought as
to what the leading cities in this great
and fertile land may make of them
selves is indeed stirring. The time

The white pine is distinctively a
northern tree. The native distribution
of Il @ tree was from Newfoundland
on the east to Lake Winnipeg on the
aries of Wisconsin, Michigan, Penn

The white pine belt also followed the
Appalachian range as far to the south
as Georgia. The best growth of the

PARAGONS OF DUTY.
DroII Legends of Filial Piety as
Practiced In Japan.


Practiced In Japan.
The Japanese make much of the duty
OF chI.CB"n to parents. In some of
their popular stories they eXaggerate
the wholesome virtue until it becomes
absurd. There is Il group of such tales
called THE -Four and Twenty Para
CONS of Filial Piety," some Of which
Mr.. Basil Hall Chamberlain collects in
"Things Japanese
One is the story of the paragon whose
cruel stcpmother was very fond of fish.
IN spite Of her harsh treatment he lay
naked on a frozen lake until his body
melted hole in the ice. He caught
two fish that came up to breathe and
set them before his stepmOther. An
other paragon lay uncovered at night
in order that the mosquitoes should
fasten on him alone and allow his
parents to slumb,r undisturbed.
Still another, who was extremely
poor, determined to sacrifice his own
child in order to save food to support
his aged mother. He was rewarded
by heaven with the discovery of n yes

family lived happily ever after. A
fourth gave her father a chance to es-
cape while she chung to the jaws of the
tiger which was about to devour him.
The drollest story of all is of Rovai-
shi. This paragon, although seventy
years old, used to dress in baby's
clothes and sprawl about the floor. His
object was piOusly to delude his par
cnts, who We're more than ninety years
of age, into the idea that they could

MATTERS OF TASTE.
Falling In Love, One of Them, Accord

when and where.

The Figaro, which is an authority
on such matters, enumerates some OF
the very latest ideas of Partisan So
ciety for the summer. When to go
out of town is the first question
raised. The answer is that to leave
Paris Immediately after the Grand
Prix is a most questionable thing to
do nowadays. People 'in the know
only went off just in time to escape
the national fete. This announce
ment, by the way, has been cruel
blow to those who thought they were
doing the right thing by leaving town
in June. Where to go is the second
question.
Finally, what is the proper way to
fall in love this summer? We learn
that, during the hot weather, at all
events, burning passions are tabooed.
Love unto death is bad form. The
same favorite poets or novelists may
beread over together, long walks may
be taken, preferably, however, in the
company of party of friends, so as
to remove any suspicion of romance,
and motor drives en- tete-a-tete are
not only allowed but encouraged, as
it is not considered that there can be
any faint of tender emotion about
such excursions.

to Good Use.

Sir Joteendro Tagore, says the Lon
don Chronicle, is unfortunately not
able to come to London for the corona
tion after all, but he will be represent.
ed by one of his nephews. Calcutta
will not be sorry. for it would sadly
miss Tagore If he were only out of the
city for few months. Sir Joteendro
is probably the wealthiest zemindar
in eastern India, and he has always
made most excellent use of his riches.
Apart from his regular heavy output
in the way of charity and general phi
lanthropy, he is liberal patron of
the arts, and no one of note who has
ever visited the Indian capital has
missed passing through the hospitable
Tagore castle, in Tagore street, which
is only one of the great mans many
mansions. Tagore has on two occa-
eions-in 1917 and 1s91-been president
OF the British India association, and
he was created maharajah in hered-
ity about ten years ago.

HOTEL FUNERALS.
They Are Infrequent, Because OBJ
jected To by Landlords-Would
Hurt His Business.

Landlords of hotels object to flu
nerals, for their houses are eminently
places of good cheer, and on that sun
shine of good cheer they want no shad-
ow of sorrow cast. Hence, when a
guest dies under the roof of one of the
landlords he uses all means possible
to have the funeral services held else
where.
And, as rule. the landlord has no
difficulty in achieving that, because
the dead guests family wishes his
body to be buried from his home. For
he is nearly always transient guest,
and it would seem both heartless and
irreverent to bury him otherwise. But,
if he is a resident guest Ga thing that
happens once or twice in a thousand
years.. the landlord easily arranges
with the undertaken to hold the serv-
ices in the latter's parlors.
And thus it happens, concludes the
Baltimore Herald, that not one man
in thousand ever sees funeral from
a hotel.
