Mans War on Natural Beauty.

Today it is unfortunately perfectly true that man is the only animal who, instead Of adorning and beautifying, makes nature hideous by his presence. The fox and the squirrel may make their homes in the wood and add to its beauty in so doing, but when Alder man Smith plants his villa there the gods pack up their trunks and depart They can bear it no longer. The bush men can hide themselves and become indistinguishable on a slope of bare rock; they twine their little naked bodies together and look like a heap of dead sticks. But when the chimney pot hat and the frock coat appear the birds fly screaming from the trees. This was the great glory of the Greeks
 that they accepted and perfected na- ture, as the Parthenon sprang out of the limestone terraces of the Acropolis, carrying the natural lines of the. rocks by gradations scarce 5perceptibles into the finished human Beauty of ,Grteze and pedfment. Possibly some day we shall again build our houses or dwell ing places so simple and elemental in. character that they will fit In the hooks of the hills, or along the banks of streams or by the edges of the woods without disturbing the harmony Of the landscape or the songs of the birds Edward Carpenter.

Eliza Jane uneasiIy.

''Is your name on it? No? Then they'd never lay such nonsense at your door. A schoolma'am is not supposed to be hanging verses about the woods like that young man we saw in the. play last winter
 Two days later while slipping her cof- fee Eliza Jane glanced carelessly over the morning paper. Prominently on the editorial page was printed a small poem. The title seemed fairly to jump out of the column at her. Language of the Woods
 The cup clattered as she set 1t in the saucer, and Mrs. Hart looked up re- proachfully. s's< >
 "Lor'. Eliza Jane. what scared you now?'
 ''My-my verses"-
 For lands saker' Her cousin ap- prOpriated the paper. and, adjusting her glasses carefully. read in a mono tone. regardless of all punctuation. the verses Eliza Jane had penciied in tbe woods. She cast suspicious glance at her relatives bent head on reaching the cOuplet: ,t Amid lightning and hailstones and rain, Came loves kiss in the pine woods of
 Maine.
 Perhaps womanly sympathy for any thing bordering on romance held her tongue, for she made no comment then -or ever. till 1t no longer mattered.
 "Listen. Eliza Jane." she continued. with growing interest. here's some re. rfy Inv sires the author to go down to the of flee for a check. Do tell! Money for that rubbish! Not that want to hurt your feelings. II guess yours are no worse than iotsaof others.' a
 Perhaps writing would answesfSs--. began Eliza Jane.
 Personal application Is what it says here. If you can make money that easy the least you can do is to go aft. CT it"
 So Eliza Jane did go and was usher ed into the august presence of the edi- tor. That gentleman proved tall, broad shOuldered and trifle bald. but with eyes that twinkled as at some peculiar ly pertinent joke.
 .'I was right-I felt was right. But you have changed little more than your verses, Eliza Jane." The editor took his visitor by the hand, seating her in the wide armed chair Don't say you have forgotten mel know better"
 'Is it Elias Smithy'' Eliza Jane could scarcely make the words distinct for the thrObbing in her throat
 "No longer Elias B. Smith, but E. Browning Smith It reads better. in print. You, however, may call me as you will aF
 You found the basket but how could you guess"-
 That 1t was, yours? Had not seen in our gossip column that Miss Eliza Jane Robinson was visiting our city? The writing was identical with that in certain letter l sometimes read to this day-above all. which of us could forget ~ Loves kiss in the pine woods of Maine?.
 'Don't-please don't Eliza Jane buried her face in her hands But even so she could not hide her blushes. They crept up to the very rims of her small ears, from which her hair was brushed back straight and tidied. Elias Smith took her by the wrists and firmly uncovered her face. Stepping till his eyes were level with hers, he spoke almost in a whisper: ]
 T had lost you, Eliza Jane, and 1t seemed forever. But in the woods I have found you again and this lime I shall never let you go.''

 Well, didn't you tell him?' quaver- ed Mrs. Lawton, her face half hidden in her handkerchief.
