Germany's Novel Movement.

Germany has started a unique move
ment for the Improvement Of towns
and small cities by constructing 4
number Of garden cities, one Berlin
society having acquired large plot Of
land on the northern outskirts Of the
city for the construction under the
name Of Frahau Of the first real gar
den city Of the capital.
This city will be built in a pictur-
esque billy part Of the state forest,
will have its own railway station and
will be laid out regardless Of cost as
regards external adornment. Judging
from reports from all sections Of Ger
many, the idea has taken a firm hold
on the people, the feature most insist
ed upon being the abandonment Of the
fat house and the substitution Of the
small house and villa on the English
model. In Bavaria. where there is al
ways shortage Of houses, the gov
eminent will transfer for garden pur-
poses part of the state forests in the
vicinity Of large towns. At Magdeburg
houses with large gardens for single
families will soon be rentable for
about $50 year American money. 1t
is to be hoped that this country will
soon undertake the same kind Of de-
velopment.

In 1880 man who had watched

Cornell university, at Ithaca. N. T.,
intimated his desire TO present to it
some memorial to express his love and
interest for the institution. He had
not great wealth. through which 9th
ers had been enabled to present fine
buildings, but he appreciated the beau
ty and value Of trees, and so he con-
ceived the idea Of planting East ave-
nue. with elms. Long years ago the
donor passed away, but his beautiful
avenue remains as a living witness to
his generosity. and at either end may
be seen stone bearing the inscription:
"Ostrander Films. $780," In no better
way can man erect for himself an un-
dying monument to his public spirited
ness and in no other way may he leave
behind a more graceful or fitting
tribute to his love Of nature. Not
only may man leave his own monu-
ment behind, but loving hands. could
plant fitting memorial to many OF
our best and most public spirited cit
liens. To the writer all Of our stone
monuments and statues are most mex
pressihly ugly, and few indeed are

Pinero. it is claimed, wrote this play
for Miss Nethersole, and she is re-
garded as the best of all Paulas. She
was not thesfrst actress to produce the
play owing to conflicting contracts
which prevented her appearance when
the drama had its London premiere.
However, Pinero has been quoted as
having said that until the world saw
Nethersole as Paula my heroine had not
lived
