A FIREPRooF CITY.
6uehos Ayres Has Never Had Life
Lost in a Blaze.
(Chamber's JournaI.l

Chambers Journal)
Inc annual fire bill OF the United
hlhgdom may be taken at e20,000,O00
that OF the United States at E2S,000,0 O0
Inere are besides the fire insurance an
nual Dill and, the bill for the fire sta
tlons with their costly sites and build
lngs' the fire engines, the other machin-
cry and the horses. All this outlay
Keeps us poor.
b'it the loss of life is worse and it is
easy to build fireproof-or BETTER in
combustible- houses, such as in the
River Plata countries, and probably in
Bethlehem and Nazareth. The manner
is as follows: In these countries they
neither use the arch iron, but hardwood,
winch, having mostly to come thous-
! ana miles down the river, is dear. So
all the floors and the roof, which is fiat,
are supported by joists shaped as in
this country, and across them are laid
rails of the same hardwood, about a
foot apart upon which rest the ends on
| thin bricks, on which another layer of
bricks or sometimes two is laid in NOR
ter, and on this, tiles. Then there is no
| sklrtlng or panelling. In Britain
| cement should be used for that purpose,
! ana there should be no boxing of doors
and windows, the frames being built in
securely. The doors are also of hard
wood. In that fine climate no lath or
| plaster is ever used. In this country
| the, laths should be of iron, and if
( moulding is wanted around the doors
1t could be of cement, instead of dan
gerous, infammable wood. In such
/ houses bonfire made by piling a lot OF
sticks and shaFings on the best bed in
the best bedroom and setting fire to il
would not set the house on fire. The
writer has for sixty-four years lived in
or been connected with, the great city
of Buenos Ayres, the capital of the
| Argentine Republic, and the largest
city in the Southern Hemisphere, with
$4,000 inhabitants, and never heard OF
a life being lost by fire, but there are
fires in grocers' shops and such like
places. Latterly, as pine from the
United States is now abundant, some
builders have used it partially in build
ings in the capital, and such are mo-
1 quite fireproof, but it is bad practice
In Britain, as roofs must slope because
OF the snow, and fiat roofs would not do
the states should be fixed in some way
to iron strips. This might be a little
troublesome at first, but our skaters an(
smiths would soon find out the way.

which has of late broken out Ike a
brisk crackle of musketry gives the
impression of coming from raw re-
cruits to whom one target is as GOOD
as another. Now Mr.. James is an
admirable target, almost the only one,
indeed, remaining in what Matthew
Arnold would call these bad days." at
which it is worth a critical sharp
shooters while to try his skill. The
current fiction of the day calls for
nothing better than birdshot, and this,
to tell the truth, is the form of am
munition which has for the most part
been fired at Mr.. James's books until
they are all so peppered over with ir-
relevanceS that marksman might feel
ashamed of holding gun on so be-
sprinkled u target. 1t is a relief to see
here and there a mark fair and square
in the central white, like Mr.. Howell S
in the NORTH. American or Hlrriet
Waters Prest0fs in the Atlantic, or
that of the Edinburgh Review, from
which quota ton was made a few days

precisely where the current critical
comment in this country upon his
work fails AS Mr.. James himself
might characterize it, it is 'of crud-
ity;" it misses not merely what the
novelist has done, but what he is try
| ing to do-the whole clew to the
! character of his work.
| With the possible exception of Geo.
Meredith, Mr.. James is the most
original of important living novelists;
he has taken a province and made it
his own, and to accomplish his end
more perfectly he has evolved style
which is entirely his own. The style
is, indeed, extraordinary, perhaps
eccentric; certainly it is difficult. Yet
it is hard to conceive of a style bet
ter suited for precisely the task he has
chosen. Even the familiar manner
isms-the reiteration of favorite words
the interminable psychological CLOSES
lupon the speeches of the characters
the relentless following out of fantastic
intellectual metaphors,-all these
things are not a matter of accident
thew represent the plastic shaping OF
language to meet new and eX-
traordinary acknowledgements Re-
publican.

What the Band Played.

Jenkins had listened to the piano and
violin and cornet pouring out Under
the Bamboo Tree" and the inevitable
"Hiawatha" until he was tired. Serb
bling two words on his card he called
the waiter and asked him to present the
card to the leader with the request that
he vary the monotony by wrestling
with the piece named thereon.
The waiter took the card to the man
al the piano, who looked at 1T obviously
and shook his head. The violinist
peered over his shoulder and chartered
volubly. Then the cornetist took a
hand in the discussion and he began to
go over a pile of sheet music. Present.
" he selected a piece of music. and
with triumphant air slapped it on the
rack in front of the leader. Then they
all settled into their places and start
ed work.
Jenkins listened with an absorbed ex-
preston on his face that changed to
one of lively qualification when the
musicians finished. AS he was leaving

THE AMERICAN OSTRICH.
Hes Doing a Good Business in Feathers
~ and is Breeding Rapidly. }"@7

A recent shipment of forty ostriches
to Nice, on the borders of Italy and
France, from California, directs atten-
ton to this growing California indus
try-the culture of the African ostrich
in America. Just about fifteen years
have elapsed since the American os-
trlch farmers gave their first serious
attention TO this subject. Now the os-
tfich industry is we'll established in
the United States, some eight hundred
birds existing in the country, and these
will doubtless form the nucleus of that
immense number that will one day
cover the mesas of southern California,
the meadows of Arizona, the vast pla-
teaus of Texas and the everglades of
Florida, as their kind do the African
veldt, today.
The ostrich has come to stay; he
costs little to keep-not much more
than the ordinary Sheppard yields an
annual value of $50 to the proprietor.
One man can take care of 100 ostriches
The creature is hardy and of a care
less appetite. The average increase to
the stock is between IS and 90 os-
triches per pair. Some have been
year. The birds are kept in pens in
California, and source of revenue, has
been found in exhibiting them to MANY
tourists. who are attracted here In
tcubatogs showing the various stages
of ostrich life are also on view. A
growth from the size of a duck to q
height of six feet is only a question
Of six months. ~ .-r.tt
When the birds are a year old their
feathers are ready for the market. The
cropping. is accomplished by covering
the ostrichs head with a hood and ply
ing a pair of shears. This process
takes place every eight months. The
feathers on the large side wings are
cut off near the roots, and the smaller
feathers on the tail are pulled out
without injury to the bird, for on the
care now bestowed depends the future
health of the coming feather. In the
course of three weeks the stems left
start to fall out, and new feather be-
gins to grow, which in due time is taken
off for the benefit of the ostrich farmer.
The feathers are graded and sent to
the feather manufacturers of New
York, who make them up in the beauti-
full articles of dress so dear to the
hearts of those who wear them. When
the American woman can buy only
the ostrich feathers of the American
ostrich the most sanguine hopes of Ed
win Cawston, the pioneer Californian
ostrich farmer, will have been realized.
81, OO0, 900 each year will then remain in
the country instead of going to London.

Miss Grace Lathrop Collin, author of
Putnam Place." began her literary
career by writing Sunday-school
stories, Which she says were the only
kind she was able to succeed with in
the early days of art" One day in a
spasm of energy, she wrote eleven OF
these highly moral tales, despatched
them to their destinations, and awaited
the result. Acceptance after accept
ance arrived, until Miss Collin was
convinced that she had discovered her
true vein. But, much to her surprise
no further inspiration of the same
nature presented itself: in fact she
was never again able to produce an
available Sunday-school story. She
now believes that the over-productlon
of eleven sanity narratives at once
wrought it's own cure. The author
continues to meet the stories in print,
and never expects, or hopes, to see the
end of them.
