The Ashes of the Dead.

James Russell Lowell was a great favorite in the literary circles of Lon don On one occasion at a large ban quet the pecuIiarides of American speech were discussed with English bluntnesS- Lord $. called to MT. Lowell loudly, so as to silence all other speak .ers-
 There is one new expression invent ed by your cOuntrymen so foolish and vulgar as to be unpardonable. They talk of the ashes of the dead We don't burn corpses- No Englishman would use phrase so absurd:''
 And yet said MT Lowell gently, your poet Gray says, speaking of the dead:
 s'Tz'en in ashes live their wonted fires
 And in the burial services of the Church of England it is said, Dust to dust and ashes to ashes We sin in good company 4 cordial burst of ap- plause greeted this prompt rejoinder.

Tndustrial noaters begln

this basis2 Industrial fioaters begin to come. The newcomers do not in- crease the taxable valaues because so tend to pull down other taxable values around them. Their arrival therefore brings little or nothing into the town treasury.
 On the other hand, the town has to meet the problems, of education, police. courts, jails, hospitals. poor relief. The people who are willing to come into bad homes are the peo- pie who keep the remedial institu- nothing to help maintain any institu- tions.
 But when attractive homes on we'll planned streets are offered, seIf-res- specting people will come, the taxable Valaues of the town will rise, and the per capita demand for all the reme- dial institutions will be decreased
 It is we'll. too, not to overlook the economic values of the aesthetic and social aspects of the problem. The money values of civic art and of a civic conscience were never so fully recognized as at the present time.
 It is not enough, either, to develop good homes. They must be main tained in 8 good condition. This calls for an active local health authority. Every town must have 8 good law the efficient enforcement of which will give the town what it needs in the way of houses, and board of health that will see that houses are always kept clean and sanitary
 The housing problem in it's proper aspects confronts all towns. The com naunity will rise as the quality of it's homes rises, and it will go down as the quality of it's homes goes down.

The fourth morning he could restrain himself no longer and cried out: What is the se- cret of your getting to the mosque irsts get LID early and lose DO time-'' The other man asked--..How many wives have you2'' When he answer cd One the fortunate man said: -sYou can never get to the mosque ear Her than l. for I have four wives When wake up one brings me my clothes, another gets my shoes, a third prepares my bath, and the fourth cooks breakfast. The result is lose no time. Now, my. friend, go at once Hfsc marry three other wives, and you will know-the secret of my arriving first at the mosque"
