interest in the civic matters Of local and
national Importance.
Undoubtedly the best known project with
which the bishop has been identified 10 the
movement for the establishment In the
District OF q great national Protestant
Episcopal cathedral. When this idea was
first preached and Bishop Satteriee en-
tered upon the work of raising funds and
arousing interest in its behalf 1t was
looked upon by many persons as almost
too big a thing to undertake; but today tho
diocese owns, clear of all debt. magnin-
cent site at st. Adams, overlooking the
entire city. and already material progress
has been made In the erection OF a group OF
buildings to form the cathedral quad. A
commission Is now at work formulating
program for a competitive examination for
the plans of the future cathedral, so that
the day does not seem far distant when
the national capital will see the beginning
of the erection of the great structure In
Guiding the real estate, the present Duild-
ings and the endowments, the cathedral
property is now valued at nearly sDo,oVo.
Well Organized.
An elaborate and much-admired church
organization has developed in the diocese
during the ten years of Bishop Satterlee's
supervision of affairs. The jurisdiction now
boasts of the following organizations. all
wide awake and prosperous: The Church
mems League, Prisoners Aid Society, Girls
Friendly Society. Brotherhood of ST. An
drew, House of Mercy, King Theological
Hall. Bell Home, Society for the Home
Study of Holy Scripture, Sunday School In
stitute, Woman's Auxiliary. Juniof Auxil-
'iary, Bishop Guild Cathedral Park Board,
Diocesan Embroidery Guild, Eye and Ear
Hospital, st. Agnes Home Daughters of
the King, Glorious and the Diocesan LII
brary.
One branch of church work in which
Bishop Satterlee has been extremely inter.
ested is that among the colored people OF
the diocese A theological hall for the edu-
cation of colored students has been devel-
oped and a number of chapels have been
organized. There is a large coiored indus
trial school and church at Groom, Prince
George county. Nd. in which the bishop is
personally interested.
The setting apart of the local diocese
seemed to stimulate the efforts OF the mem
bers of the Protestant Episcopal Church
within it's borders and both clergy ana
laIty have worked with a will for the gen.
erai betterment of the jurisdiction. In all
their efforts the clergymen. iaymen ana ana
the bishop have worked In harmony, anu
TODAY the diocese was never in more pros

Fashions in architecture, therefore. are
no new thing; but it is doubtful If any age
can equal our own in the rapidly of change
or in the variety of modes. If our arch,-
tectural fashions do not change daily thew
at least move SO swiftly that 1t Is dim
cult to keep track of them, and this chsnpa
is without any real reason at an. 1t does
not come from the owners of property and
the builders of houses, for these peopIe

ception of architectural taste u does mot
come from any public or private need. for
that convenience, necessity ana use in
building Is above mere style, and that any
structure can be as available as any other

come from earnest thought and effort on
the part Of the architects, for these COM
plascent souls will do anything .ey are

It Is quite as proftless to trace the origin
of styles In building az to seek the mean

1t may be pointed out that the first great
architectural fashion-that Of the italian
Renaissance-did not begin in the indiffer-
emit dimsy manner that modern fashions in
architecture seem to originate. The great

admiration for the new forms and the new

approached their work in reverent spirit

The pheasants are hardy birds, and no
artificial heat should be given them In win

that exposure to cold winds when they go
out causes colds and sickness. The house
should be tight and as warm as the sun and
natural conditions will permit. The north
and west side should be wind and snow
proof, and the south side, with its glass
sash. should be exposed to the full rays
OF the sun This should be protected from
the sun in summer by board, and perfect
ventilation should be given by having doors
or screened windows opening on all sides.

yards OF the pleasantly should be kept
