THE pHIPps TENEMENTs

We read the other day about a poor suffering woman who couldn't live in New York on $S67 day, but there are people who can do 1t, and can even live on much less. If one is obliged to economize New York Is a place where one can live cheaply and well. Philan- thropists have done much to make liv- ing reasonable in New York, and they are going to do more. The building of the tenement houses under the provi- sions of the will of the late Henry Phipps, who left $10,O00,000 for the pur- pose, has been going on, and now Q great house is to be put up covering an entire city block in what is known as the Sam Juan Hill'' section of New York city. The Phipps tenement house in this part of New York is to be built for the sole occupancy of negroes. Each of the buildings will contain 51O rooms which are to be rented at an extraordinarily low price, These tene- ment houses are equipped with all modern improvements, are ventilated scientifically, have roof gardens, play grounds, kindergartens and cooking school, all of which accessories are free, and even the garbage is to be in- cinerated on the premises, so that even that chance for the collection of any refuse matter will be avoided.
 This purpose of the late MT. Phipps is to be conducted entirely on business lines, There is nothing charitable about the operation, It is simply a plain business proposition to produce mod ern, healthy, well-ventilated tenement houses, which can be rented cheaply and which will return enough to pay expenses with a trife over.

4 FRENCH QUESTION.

An interesting question in constitu- tional law has been raised in France by M. de Lanessan. It is whether, in the case of imminent war, the order for mobilization or partial mobilization could be given without reference to the Chambers. The Constitution of 1875 clearly places the decision for peace and war in the hands of the legislature
 but is silent on this definite point. The question has never been raised before
 It is only recently that the importance of even few hours at the beginning of war has become apparent. Politicians are asking, Suppose the Chambers were not sitting; should we have to wait for them before raising a finger in self-defenee?" Some say the president, as constitutional chief of the armed forces of the republic, could order the mobilization. Others hold that the ministry could do it; others, the minis ter of war alone. General Langlois in- sists that Parliament alone could act. He goes so far as to say that if he

COLLECTS CORNERSTONE DATA.
Odd Occupation of an Illinois Deputy
 Sherif,

Odd Occupation of an Illinois Deputy
 sherif.
 One of the odde occupations follow ed in this age is that of the profession al collector of data for cornerstone boxes. Probably Bloomington is the only town in America that is able to boast of such an expert, to whose mind and hands the packing of all the boxes that are buried in the town is turned over.
 Deputy Sheriff Stevenson is the name of the man who likes to engage in this kind of work, and he seems to have all he can do. Within short time he has packed boxes for the new county court house, public library, Livingston building and several park structures. He is now engaged in pre- pairing data for three copper boxes that will be placed in the cornerstone of park pavilion. The boxes and their contents will weigh fifteen pounds
 Mir. Stevenson has some queer ideas about what kind of stuff should go in- to a cornertone box. The daily and weekly papers are always includ- ed, but there is a great variety of other things. He collects a number of trade catalogues that show what the people of this age eat and wear, how they have their houses and offices furnish ed, and whether they ride a horse bi- cycle or in an automobile. One hun dred years or less hence, should cy- clone come along and lift the buildings of the town from their foundations, the people of that time will have a great time in studying over the odd things that they will dig out of the founda- tions.
 Not long since the town suffered a great loss of business houses by a de- vastating fire. Some of the foundations of buildings that had been built a long time ago yielded up some valuable , historical facts that kept the town in- terested for weeks afterward. The residents became thoroughly enthused on the subject of cornerstone boxes and in the rebuilding of the town all most any kind of a structure had a copper box filled with historical ma- terial slowed away in the masonry Chicago Daily News,

4 HALL OF SHAME.
run.

There is Hall of Fame, and it ap- pears to be a pretty good thing, though of course there is bound to be some disagreement concerning the names that belong there. Now Hall of Shame is proposed, and if properly conducted it might be an even better thing for the country and the world than the Hall of Fame. The proposi- ton is made in good faith by Emil Seryich, Russian by birth, but now a wealthy recluse living at Silver Lake N. Y. As an evidence of his sincerity he offers to give $1OO,OOO outright to the first city that will take up his project For some reason not stated MT. Servich limits the choice of a site to New York, Boston or Pittsburg. Chi cago is barred because he has g preju- dice against that city as a result of the execution of the Haymarket anarchists many years ago,
 The object of the Hall of Shame, it is announced, is to act as a deterrent to graft and capitalistic oppression. The idea is an attractive one, although there are difficulties in the way of real izing it. At the rate things are going the Hall of Shame would need to be a large one.

4 Love Match.

Twas at the races that they met; the
 Jungle A. A. U. Had opened an athletic field upon
 the Upper Nile. Beneath her frank, admiring gaze he
 strove the best he knew, And won a tWO-mile handicap
 against the crocodile. It was a contest fine to seet--the crowd
 grew boisterous And madly shouted Hip, hip, hip, hip,
 Hippopotamus! Though Miss Rhinocerous beaux re-
 ferred to him with scorn, Twas plain shed eyes for no one
 else. That brow! Those manly
 feetr" I'm glad he won' she cried again,
 and footed on her horn,-- And so her friend, Miss Lioness, con
 trived to have them meet. Such graceful embonpointn he sighed,
 his hand upon his heart; Twas clear to all who stood about he
 loved her from the start. The Jungle felt no great surprise when
 soon their cards were out; The wedding was d fine affair, the
 sourest critics grant. Though Dean Giraffe Is higher Church,
 there's very little doubt That all were better satisfied with
 Bishop L. E. Phant. And now. if Heaven send them twins,
 twill save q lot of fuss To name them Hipporocerous and
 Rhinopotamus. -Burges Johnson, in Harper's Maga- zine for January.

MDRE ROOM TINTED.

When the horses left the horse cars it was figured that there would be more room in tfe streets. But somehow or other there isn't, and it now seems that soon there may be no room in them. But people are ingenious, and there is hope. One of the schemes already pre- sented for relieving congested streets of large cities is the construction of side- walks at the level of the second story of buildings. Such sidewalks would be available for foot passengers only, wag- ons, carriages, street cars and automo- piles being restricted to terra tirma. The effect of the use of such double decks" would be, it is argued, to double the capacity of important thorough fares. It might impair, to some extent, the value of places of business at the street level, but it would enhance the value of rooms on the second story for purposes of buslness-double the leas- ing value in some cases. A town in England has long had precisely such an arrangement, a covered way, or arcade, extending along the street at the level of the, second story.
 And this isn't the only relief in sight, Wait until lines of airships begin to rIlrI,

 were president, or minister of war, he would certainly not care to take the re- sponsibility on his own shoulders. On the other hand, somebody has referred to the speech made by N. L.aboulaye in introducing the law of 1875. In it he says clearly that it is the duty, as we'll as the right, of the president of the re- public, as the head of the army, to take all measures necessary to protect France against a surprise.
 Of course this matter ought to be clear, but if any attack is made on France before it is clear she would probably find a way to strike back promptly.

 In addition to these in black stock a number of the stores catering to fash ionable custom are showing them in colored suede kid stock, in such shades as green blue, red, pearl gray, tan and white for womens wear at indoor dress functions. Their great popul-- larity during the past season has led the dealers to look for some call for them during the fall and winter for house wear.
 Button shoes for both men and wo- men are much seen in the fall displays, in both the dull and shiny feathers. Those made of the latter stock usually have uppers of dull finished leather, with buttons of the same kind to match.
 The "Pidgin" last is the name of the latest freak in mems shoes, and is inclined to be rather an extreme cut. The inside edge is cut almost straight, while the outside edge comes to a stop with a practically square cutoff, which tends to give it pigeon toe' appear ance, from which it's name Is taken.

Goodyear welts in women's lines are much seen, indicating that the dealers look for continued call for heavy boots for out of door wear. These are mostly cut along the lines of mannish lasts and are designed to be worn with with out rubbers, thing which women have become accustomed to since the introduction of Goodyear welts in wo- mems lines.
