EXPLAINS Confusion at Babel.

Among ignorant persons said
Frank E. Wallis, secretary of the
Architectural League of New York,
there is a belief that architects are
useless-that a builder is enough OF
an architect for all practical purposes.
| attended a session of court not long
ago when an architectural case was
being heard A young architect was
put on the stand, and, after he had
given his testimony, the lawyer for
the opposition began to cross examine
him. The questions ran like this:
"'You are a builder, l believer
"'No. an architect
"'Builder or architect, architect or
builder. it is much the same thing,
isn't itT
No, not at all
".What is the differenceT
1.-THE young man explained what the
difference was, and the lawyer, with
sneer, said:
"'Oh, very we'll That will do. And
now. after your very ingenious dis
tinction without a difference. perhaps
Won can inform the court who was the
architect of the Tower of Babel?
"'There was none he answered
and hence the confusion.

]. {. Ovens Amounted.

J. E. Owens is to remain a
magistrate anyway, even if he
did fail in getting the nomina-
ton when he ran in the demo-
cratic primary. He has been ap-
pointed by the governor and has
already been sworn into office.
Under the law the governor is
the only person who can appoint
to succeed those who are elected
and do not qualify. The recent
death Of Capt. V. Ballard caused
a vacancy to which Z. r. Aiken
was appointed by the governor.
Then W. p. Phillips, of West
Durham, sent in his resignation
as magistrate, at least he gave
notice that he would not qualify.
This left another vacancy and
the commission was secured by
Justice Owens.

in 1882. Since that time they have won
numerous prizes at large stock shows
and this has helped to bring them be-
fore the public and cause a wider dis
tributiOn.
In size Victorias would probably be
classed along with Duroc Jerseys and
Poland Chinas. They mature reason
ably early, feed well and have won
hOnors at Chicago for fine quality of
meat. They are fair breeders and the
SOws make good mothers. They are
also said to do well for pasture or pen
feeding and to be less subject to
mango, sun scald and similar troubles
than some of the other white breeds

Breeds of Swine

Two distinct breeds of swine Of
American origin have been given the
name of Victoria. One originated in
New York, the other in Indiana The
former seems to have local reputation
in the east and has not been widely dis
trihuted. The latter is found in quite
a number of sections and in consider
able numbers in Indiana and nearby
states. Both breeds are of medium
size, the Indiana breed somewhat the
larger Both are white in color and
have erect ears.
The Victorias of New York originated
with Colonel Frank D. Curtis, Saratoga
county, n. Y, about 1850. They were
formed from the aative stock, which
contained some Gr2Zier blood, by use
of the Byfield. Yorkshire and Suffolk
in succession They are said to resem-
BILE the Suffolks. The Indiana Victorias
are usually referred to when the name
is used. They were bred by George
Davis, Lake county, Ind, about 1870.
-Four distinct breeds were used in their
formation. e., the Poland China, Berl-
shire, Chester White and Suffolk II
is not clear just how much of the blood
of each breed was used, though one
report states that Berkshires were
crossed with Poland Chinas and Ches
ter Whites with Suffolks; then the off

OUT OF THE

In the gentle current of Miss Sarah's
life by far the widest eddies were
Paola's love affairs. Miss Sarah had
never had lover herself-she had al
ways been too busy taking care of
Paola who was the younger sister, a
slim, pale creature, with vivid eyes
and head that habitually dropped a
little as though weighted by its own
gold hair and a sense of languOrous
melancholy.
Beside Miss Sarah's old time cour-
tesies Paola was as an orchid to a
pansy, but underneath the melancholy
was a certain Irresponsible deviltry,
a certain intangible witchery, that
brought the most eligible youths Of the
peighborhood in suppliance to her feet
and filled Miss Sarah with unceasing
wonder and amazement.
Whenever a new victim appeared
upon the scene Miss Sarah thrilled
with apprehension. AS he was friend
", she approved Of him; as he was
more COuSpICuOuSiy dLLChtIfCs ohC
watched for him; then in gentle per-
plexity that never vanished with add
ed experience she saw him hover, adj
vance, retreat, hover again and plunge.
When the little comedy was played
out she took up<her knitting with a
sigh of relief, opened her volume of
Felicia Hemans at the purple book
mark and prepared to rest before an
other siege.
Paola herself slipped from one emo
tional cataclysm to another, as the
