MODERN CITY LIFE.

the Home.
The passing OF the home is the sad
dest phenomenon of modern city life.
The tenement house, which we seek to
disguise under the name of "hat.' Is
most wrctchcd substitute for the hum
blest of homes. That our people endure
them Is an indication OF dcgencracy, as
it will unqrestionably be tie cause of
more rapid descent. It Is morally
certain that the viCor o: the race can
be maintained only hy personal con
'act with the mother earth from which
we sprang. which nOUrisheS us 10 her
boCom when we die. Why this IL, per-
haps no one knows. but ii is within the
knowledge of all that tie vigor Of the
city is constantly recruited from coun-
try life. TO deprive children Of daily
contact with the soil is sin.
The evil Of the tenement house was
not realized until it passed from the
slums. because few of Us know how tie
other half lives. Ii Is perhaps not so
desperate a misfortune 10 those who
live by manual labor. for they get their
contact with earth ~ othc" ways. and

France. Here the dough has been

effect was that while the bread was

quality Of the bread was very much
