Curious We.tmorland Custom.

A strange custom is observed yearly
In the small hamlet of Week, In West.
morland. In commemoration OF an in.
cident that happened In the year 1S4l.
That year there was a plague Of wasps
and many persons throughout the
country succumbed to the poisonous
sting. The little hamlet holds the rec
ord for Its number of victims, and In
memory of the occurrence memorial
tablet was erected on the moor there.
Now each year there is a procession.
Most OF the inhabitants turn out. car.
rying insect powder and other devices
fer killing wasps. and march to the
memorial stone. where short service
Is held by the minister OF the parish.
When the service is over a general cru

Some carry guns. some rags saturated
In turpentlne, while others carry par

a match applied. The anniversary Is
considered the most important event OF

Garden Cities Promote Health.

The problem of race suicide will be
simpllfied by the better housing OF
working people, says the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch. AS the result OF an
experiment-costing S1,500,0O0-by an
English manufacturer a garden colony
for employees is reported to have n
birth rate Of nine per thousand. while
the children of seven are three inches
taller and seven pouQds heavier, and
those OF eleven years are five and a
half inches higher and twenty pounds
heavier than the average children Of
the same ages among the laboring
clauses Of Liverpool.

MUNICIPAL ARCHITECTURE.
Importance Of Individual Character In
Town Buildings.

Importance OF Individual Character In
Town Buildings.
To the same extent that the parks OF
a city often lack individual character
many OF our municipalities fail to at
tract or satisfy in the architecture OF
their buildings, says the Los Angeles
Times. Every town or city In the
world may adopt n style for public
buildings, which individuals In suli-
cient numbers Will be glad TO supple
ment, TO enable them TO have a civic
character which shall Immediately be
noticed by even the most superficial
observer.
Even small villages tucked away In
the hills and not often reached by the
travelling hordes would add TO their
prestige and Importance II they but
stood for some style, though II might
not be the most suitable. AS II is
with a man so is 1t with a collection
OF men II is always better 10 stand
for what you believe 10 be best, even
though in the wrong than TO make no
stand at all The world takes no note
OF the inactive, unprogressive, tacuess
village or city any more than It does Of
that stripe Of man. Strike out on
some distinct line. Aim high, whether
you bit the mark or not. An attempt
and failure are far better for all con
cerned than no attempt, and your
chances are good for scoring high.

be called 10 mind that a church is

beyond possibility that the disease"
might prove contagious and general
cleanup of the community result.
When concerted action Is taken look
ing to civic beauty there is no question
but that the part OF the town most
seen and used should first he made tidy.
There is no question as to where to
begin-streets and sidewalks are most
In evidence-nowhere else does rubbish
or weeds mar the scene so effectually
Residents should refrain from putting
rubbish or papers in the street, nor
should they even burn II there except
II is refuse raked from the street. A
clean sidewalk betokens general clean
liness and shows nice consideration
for the general welfare, comfort and
convenience Of the public.
When your own premises and the
streets and walks are well kept, the
planting OF all streets with suitable
trees will do more TO add beauty TO the
community than all other uncompleted
tasks combined There is both mu-
nlclpal and private capital In well
planted and well cared for streets
that cannot be created in any other
way with ike expenditure OF time
and money. Though comparatively a
newly settled country, southern Cali
fornla already has towns noted for
their well planted streets.
The organization may next look to
public buildings and their grounds.
The public schoolhouses should first be
considered See that they are painted
and in first class repair The proper
tv is yours as much as It Is anybody's.
See that your part is well kept Your
children have certain rights and priv
Ileges in the school yard-the right to
a snsce devoid OF weeds on which to
play. the right TO shade from suitable
trees Protect them In the rights and
provide as much else for their com
fort. convenience and pleasure as you
nossIbly can. for they pass through
school but once. and with all the en-
couragpment You can lend they Will
scarcely come through overburdened
with much learning. There is so much
that an improvement society may do In
making the city beautiful that the sum
ming up Of these tasks serves but to
coil our attention TO the shortcomings

on the mission. old English or other
style OF architecture. Later. when a
schoolhouse shall be thought necessary,
see that 1t harmonizes with what al.

method may you approach reasonably
