Fredericls The Great

Frederick the Great looked with
serene Indifference on ali that his
enemies might say of him. One day,
as he rode through Berlin, he saw
crowd of people staring up at some
thing on the wall, and on sending his
groom to inquire what it was found
it to be a caricature of himself. The
picard was put so high that it was
difficult to read 1t, so Frederick or
dered it to be placed lower in order

Livtna In Flats.

Chicago Chronicle
4 New York clergyman has recent,
ly preached bitterly against apart
ment houses and flats. He complains
that the old idea of home is passing
away: that the sacredness of asso.
citation is lost. and the family no long
err stays, but is on the constant move.
No one knows where to find people
in the migratory days, and the effect
of tlis constant state OF transition is
in every way pernicious.
If these we're the sentiments of one
Individual alone, they wou;s hardly
be worth considering, but the same
tone of complaint has come from va
some notice. 1t would doubtless be
an advantage to every family to have
It's own home, it's Enclosure and prl-
vacy-a realm where it has absolute
control without invading eyes o.,
worse yet invading sounds.
There are temptations in the nat
temptations to which the private home
is not as much eSposed--and therc
are great Inconvenience; but what
is the person of limited means to do
in large city? Those who rail against
the fiat do not show the way out of it.
They do not indicate what is to be
done when the price of the fiat is all
person can afford to pay in the way
of rent Move to the suburbs is one
proposition often effected. but It is
not every one who has the time, the
strength or the easy facilities to take
long car rides to and from the city.
If some one viii solve the problem
of doing away with fats by substi-
tuting in place OF them an equally in
wiling and as inexpensive a private
home that is easily accessible no one
will welcome the change more gladly
than fiat dwellers. Until the solution
does come it is as unjust as it is alb
surd to denounce fat dwellers as va
grants and their mode of living as
despicable.

privilege of being present on such
an occasion say it is great sight to
