Highways Should Be Wide end
Houses Stand Well Back.

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, says
Sylvester Baxter In the September Cen
tury. In growing town, however the
danger from such conditions comes
with the liability to convert the street
to business purposes or TO erect more
compactly disposed dwellings. II busi-
ness comes In, the transition is com.
monty marked by jagged lines. Com.
mercial structures, often of n cheap
and undesirable aspect, are built out
to the street, while the dwellings stand
recessed back at irregular intervals.
And when at last the street Is fully oc-
cupied for business purposes II is alto
gether too narrow. The roadway and
sidewalks are cramped, and often
widening has to take place ut the pub
hc expense. II built up closely to the
line with dwellings, the street is likely
to lack air and sunshine, and the tend
ency is toward squalld conditions.
An excellent remedy for these evils
ID offered In the Massachusetts law
that empowered municipalities to es-
tablish building lines at any desired
distance back from the street line.
When such a line Is established, no
buildings can be erected on the inter-
vening space. The municipality ac-
nuiras mn aaaanant In thto ot,i,, 90
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 OF takings for a street
widening II is, however, commonly
more OF benefit than a damage to
have property thus restricted, for IL
assures more permanently desirable
character to the street, and In case
street widening should ever be called
for no obstacles will stand in the way.
BY taking the restricted strips there
will be ample room for the wider road.
way and sidewalks.
Ideals for attractive street planning
are TO be found In many parts Of the
United States, There Il nothing more
charming as II rural street than that

whether they are humble cottages or
abodes Of the rich. The noblcst de.
velopment OF such rural streets is TO
be found In the old towns of the Con.
necticut valley and in western Massa.
chusetts. There the main highways
have an extraordinarily generous
width, often giving room for quadruple
rows Of old elms and broad spaces of
turf, the roadway requiring only a mar.

 to the sth Alabama Regiment, and have often wondered why we did not enquire as to each others names
 But the strangest part of 1t all iB that when the war was over and I was set- tied as pastor of the Baptist Church at Monroeville. Ala, I became quits well acquainted with the minister of the Pres byterian Church there whose name was Mcbride. We were often together in re- lisious and social gatherings and fre- quently related to each other our army experiences. He having been a member of the 9th, and I of the 5th Alabama, and in the same brigade. we must have been in close touch with each other on many a weary march.
 remember that we talked oe the battle of Chancellorsville. but strange to say neither he nor I mentioned the Incident above recorded. He told me that about the close of the war, I think at Petersburg, he had received a sabre wound on his head from which he often felt a diaxi- nesss and he feared 1t might result in the loss of his mind. After year or two he removed from Monroevilie to some placa in Georgia later he became insane and was sent to the asylum. Some time af- ter this was talking to one of the eld- CTS of his church and deploring the un- fortunate condition of Mcbride, when in the course of our conversation, I found that Mcbride had told this man that at the battle of ChancelloFsville, while try ing to make his escape from the enemy he had been seriously wounded and car ried from the field by an unknown com rade whose name he would rather learn than any name on earth, and he expressed great regret that he had failed to ask who he was and where he lived.
 The incident. as he had related 1t to his friend. corresponded In every particular to my experience. so have no doubt but that he was the very man carried from that field. He having lost hts mind and soon after dying in the asylum. we could not communicate upon this matter which would have been so deeply inter- esting to us both. How strange that we did not speak of it in all our exchange of war recollectionsi
 Perhaps some sweet day, in that land where there is no war, we shall bo abla to tell how we saved each others lives on that bloody field.

 the last two years of the war.
