The Idler Works Hard.

Work. ideally. should be congenial.
fruitful. and the worker aware of his
worth TO the world. Nobody works
harder than the idler. He has on his
hands the dire task of killing time.
Knowing the awfulness of vacuity. he
fills the day with sembance of activ-
ity and while gnawing at his peace is
conscious of the barren folly of it all.
The finest argument for real work is
the spectacle of its counterfeit present
ment.-Richard Burton in the Bellman

ANCIENT SKYSCRAPERS.
Roman Houses Were Tall and Fiimsy.
the Streets Marrow Lanes.

The tenement house is no new thing.
SO great was the number Of such
houses and so badly were they put up
in ancient Rome that in 60 A. d. the
Emperor Ohio, who was then marching
against Vitellius, found his way barred
or twenty miles by the ruins of build
ingS that had been undermined by an
inundation. The spontaneous collapse
of tenement houses was SO common an
occurrence that little attention was
paid to it.
The tenants of these houses have
been described by writer of the time
as fearing to be buried or burned
alive Companies existed for the pur-
pose of propping and sustaining
houses.
In comparison with the tenements of
most modern cities. those of Rome
were excessively high. Martial alludes
TO a poor man. neighbor. who had to
mount 200 steps to reach his garnet.
That garnet must have been perched
nearly 100 feet above the level of the
street
1t is possible that Martial eXaggerat-
ed, Dut II Is certain tnat Augustus, TO
make less frequent the occurrence of
disasters. limited the height of new
houses that opened upon the streets TO
about sixty-eight feet. AS this was q
remedial regulation and referred only
to new houses fronting on the street
it follows that some houses must have
exceeded that height
This. moreover, was irrespective of
the breadth of the street In Berlin the
medium width of the streets is twenty
two meters. and in Paris the narrow
est streets are nearly eight meters
wide. while the streets of Rome eX
tended only five or six meters. and OF
these narrow streets the tall houses
+ were built Light and air must have
\ had some difficulty in penetrating those
4 narrow, walled in passages.

Sardou. the great French playwright.
knew how to profit by the views of 9TH
er people. Jerome A. Hart writes in
his book 'Sardou and the Sardou
Plays"
Like Alexandra Dumas pere, Sardou
was extremely sensitive to the opinions
of the less subtle spectators of his re-
hearsals He closely watched and

of the stage carpenters. scene painters.

pie behind the scenes. They represent

There he would seat himself jump

forty times to show the actors his idea

laugh, would cry. would shrek and
would even die Il mimic death. Com

overcoat and hasten TO muffie himself

With a heavy coat, 4 muller and cap
