Double Decking Streets.

Chief Engineer Goodrich of the bu. reau of membranes of the depart ment of highways, New York, has pro- posed plan for the double decking of Forty-second street, New York, be- tween Fifth and Lexington avenue. The street Is one of the most con. gested in the city, there being proba- bly no place in the world where so many systems of transportation cen ter as here. The double decking of the street will give an opportunity for separating the traffic, to say nothing of at once doubling the capacity of the street, Here Is problem which will have to be met and successfully solved, as the modern office building. 20 to 30 stories in, height, gradually replaces the older buildings. Some of the downtown streets of New York are already congested almost to a standstill, so that traffic at times is nearly impossible.

END OF SMALL TOWN
William Allen White Sounds Warning Against the Big City Retail Mall
 Order Houses.

Writing to the convention of the Southwestern Lumberman's associa. ton, held recently at Kansas City, William Allen White says:
 T am exceedingly sorry that 1 can. not attend your convention. It seems to me. that the lumbermen of this section are undertaking a work that should commend them to all good citi. zens.
 The preservation of the bome trade to the home town carries with 1t the preservation of many of our American institutions.
 ''It seems to me that 8 lot of good things in American life will pass if the country town passes. And 1t will pass just so surely as centralization of retail mail order business in cities continues.
 "The American country town, the town of from one hundred to one hun dred thousand people. preserves bet. ter than the crowded city and better than the lonely ranch and isolated farm life, the things that make Amer lea great.
 Here In these country towns the spirit of neighborliness Is the prevail ing spirit. Men come to know one another and when any two human be- ings come to know one another. in the one who is intelligent and wise respect always rises for the other. To know ones fellows always is to sympathize with them. Neighborli- ness spells fraternity.
 "The American country town with its broad circle of friendships. with It's close, homely, simple relations be- tween men, with its spirit of cooper ation and with Its economic status that permits the creation of no in- decently rich and no abjectly poor. the American country town, 1t seems to me, is the most hopeful of our American institutions.
 "To: destroy that town, furnishing the market for the farmer and giving steady employment to labor, means a reorganization of our commercial, so- cial and industrial life that will be revolutionary-and more 8 matter of doubtful value.
 "The mail order house therefore be- comes a menace to this country, the mail order house unrestrained will kill our smaller towns, creating great cities with their terrible contrasts of life, with their cruel social relations, with their inevitable caste feeling that come from the. presence of strangers who are rich and poor living side by side"

 The fact that insect-eating birds are less plentiful In cities is true, but believe that the conditions are rap idly improving, says writer on civic beauty. Intelligent nature study. has done much to lessen the ardor of the small boy who formerly used his sling. shot and sirgun to such harmful ad- vantage.
 It is probable, too, that the English sparrow has done nearly ss much as the small: boy..to make the life of song birds miserable in the cities. | doubt. however, if the sparrow Is as black as hes Is painted, and I sadly fear that some published opinions of him have been biased by the writers loss of early morning sleep. know for fact that the English sparrow Is far more of an insect-eating bird than he has the credit of being. I have observed them extensively and bird for bird I know that he Is g more valuable species from an ento- mological standpoint than Is our we'll beloved robin. Were 1t not for the joy the red breast brings when he comes to us with each returning spring. think that we could do with put him very nicely. He destroys few injurious insects, eats much fruit and literally gorges himself on our soil improving fishing worms.

SeIf-Development

A town Is nl some ways like person. II Il amounts to any thing 1t must be largely self made. The town that drifts, like a person that drifts, ot the ship that drifts, IS not like ly to come to the right harbor If prosperity is the heaven de sired, it will not he reached without determination and self guidance. This truism has been applied to human con duct SO often as to become commonplace, and would not be repeated here except to em- phasize the fact that it applies to communities quite as much as to individuals.
 A town is a problem like a child. It should not be left to grow up by itself. Its destiny should be guided by the wis dom of its elders. There is no lack of elders in any town who have opinions as to what IS wrong with it. They are to be found at the grocery store, the cigar store and every com. mon meeting place. If these wiseaCres would exercise their perspicacity- ill figuring out what would be good for the town, and then would all pull together in trying to bring that good about, the result would be such a matter of To- cal pride that nobody would want to talk about anything else. The destiny of-a com munity' like that. of an indivi- dual, can be controlled; the possibilities of development and improvement are almost unlimited; and ltis-n not only wisdom but money in the pocket. flor citizens to take their town in hand and try to make 1t amount to something.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY By A. W, MACY. THREE REeIcl1Es IN AMER
 lCA..

When Charles I. of England was tried flor high crimes and misdemeanors," sixty-seven men sat as judges. Of these, fifty eight signed the death warrant. After Charles II. became king, + the House of Commons ordered that the regicides be brought to trial. Twenty.four of them were dead, but they were tried just the same, and condemned. Of those living, twenty-nine were tried and condemned to death, of whom ten were executed. Six teen escaped and went into ex- ile. Of these, three came to America and ended their days here. General William Goffe and his father-in-law, General Edward Whalley, lay In hiding at New Haven for three years. Then they went to HadIey, Mas sachusetts, and probably died there. Colonel John pixwell, another regicide, came to New Haven in 1865, and lived there till his death, in 1889. Time and again the crown officers searched for these men, but were never able to find them, owing to the vigilance of their friends For many years her init living near Narraqsnsett . : was believed to be one of the escaped reeicides, but It was never proven =.
