In regard to our new neighbor, Fred j.
Johnson, who, It is enormously stated, has
made his home in wild region Of Cali
fornia-" Let me assure his old friends in
Vermont that the only wilderness to be
seen about his home is the wilderness Of
flowers surrounding his residence which
fronts on Lame Prieta avenue. Our town
is distant about 60 miles from San Fran
cisco and our neighbours residence is
about two miles from the railroad sta
ton. His own Is two-story cottage,
conspicuous for artistic finish even in
this neighborhood Of tasteful buildings
and pretty grounds, and he is closely sur
rounded by neighbors on the avenue, with
well kept vineyards and orchards stretch
ing away in each direction.
The Burrell school, from which two Of
our neighbor's daughters graduated only
lately, rs ten minute walk from his
home, and the Presbyterian church Is
about the same distance. The two
graduates were the youngest ever grad
uated from this school, The teacher pro-
nounces all her pupils of this family above
the average in aptness and intelligence,
and our friend would have been very
foolish to retire to a ranch In a wild
region Of California" In this wild
region" we are amply provided with food
for mind and body both. The meat cart
comes on alternate days, the fish man does
not neglect U.S. The grocer delivers his
goods free of charge, and best OF all we
have rural free delivery and can send our
mall and receive it every day.
II the writer of that item could be
present at some Of our social gatherings
or attend the monthly meeting OF our

just once, perhaps he would learn to envy
our new neighbors on their ranch, Instead
Of feeling pity for them.

A Fifteen Years Secret.

The old matchmaker Of small town

London Flats.

"London has spent and is spending
millions Il pounds In building huge
blocks of fiat dwellings. In a few
years It may have to begin spending
millions to do away with them"
In these words a distinguished west
end physician who has taken an impOr-
tant part in calling attention to the
physical deterioration question ex-
pressed his view about the fiat system,
which is said to be responsible for
some Of the increase in London lunacy
owing to the monotonous conditions it
entails.
London is spending millions in
clearing away slums, and huge blocks
Of flats five or six stories high are re-
garded as the panacea," he said to an
Express representative. But / think
It is time that the London county cOun-
Gil, for instance, began to consider
whether the fiat system is not introduc-
ing evils of its own.
'There is at any rate ground for sus-
pecting that the building of these huge
blocks of dwellings is a mistake. Flat
life means less exercise, less air and
less light and consequently must hake
for less healthy condition of body
and mind. The question as regards
children is of grave Importance. -
