The Craze For Pleasure

The Puritan element is slowly but
surely dying out in England. The old
and honored word duty. used SO efrec
lively by Nelson and Wellington In the
great moments OF their career. the old
idea or a compelling factor In life
which gave solidity and worth to the
English character. has yielded to q
craze for pleasure. How far reaching
is the change has perhaps hardly yet
been realized. People congratulate
themselves on the fact that our country
Is growing gayer and pleasanter and
more agreeable to live IN than former
~. but at what price we have bought
the change they do not stop to inquire.

IN DARKEST SCOTLAND.
Terrible Condition OF Crofters, Who
Live Like AnimnIn

4 ave Like Antmnfn.
The local government board for Scot
land sent two commissioners TO the
Lewis (the island OF Lews) to iuvesti
| gate the sanitary conditions OF the
crofters' dwellings, and their report
has just been issued. 1t reveals an
appalling state OF squalor and dirt In
the novels of the poorer inhabitants.
The cottages, as n rule, are built OF
loose stones, with turf roof, the walls
sometimes being wholly Of turf. In
the best cottages the living room,
sleeping room and "byre" are divided
by partitions. but in s2ne cases the
human beings share one room with the
cattle. In the byre there is a large ac-
cumulation OF manure, about three to
four feet above the level of the living
room floor. On this heap are standing
one or two cows and occasionally q
horse and some sheep. Sometimes
these animals are up to their knees In
the manure. Irregular holes in the
thatch provide entrance and exit for
the fowls. which nest In baskets hung
against the walls.
Outside the houses the ground Is sod
den with water and drainage from the
byreS and Is altogether in a most un-
slightly and unsanitary state. The
drainage channels in front of the
houses are often choked.
Among these squalid and most mis-
cradle surroundings one is astonisned

There she was 40 feet away, nesting
down under the branch and making
herself as small as possible.
We wanted one of her pleasantest
expressions; so. although we knew she
would be but a tiny spot on the mega

from there and then If she did not
take alarm move nearer and try again,
then repeat the maneuver until she
would allow US no closer.
The first exposure was made and we
moved carefully up to within 20 feet;
not a word was spoken.
