young in them, and in neither case
were the parent birds in evidence
They did not give their secret away

food in their beaks, which they finally
swallowed as my stay was prolonged.
And the nests, both on a level with
my eye, were apparently filled only
with a motionless mass of blush

stead of four or FIVE heads with open
mouths springing up, the young only
settled lower in the nest and disposed
themselves in a headless, shapeless
mass The phoebe is evidently a very
cautious bird, though no birds are
more familiar about our porches and
outbuildings.--John Burroughs in the

LIFE TOO STRONG FOR POET
Able Young 'Frenchman Found in
Death His Only Reward for
ignoring Realities.

The death OF Louis Deubel, young
poet of the Latin Quarter, who, among
those whose verdict counts numbered
many sincere admirers, recalls the
tragedy of John Davidson. Deubels
dead body was found few days ago
In the Marne and taken to the morgue.
In the clothes of the suicide were his
Livret Militaire and six sous. That
was all
This is a tragedy of poverty and a
poets pride. It was known that for
some time things had not been gong
well with Deubel But Of late he had
dropped out of sight. He was never
seen at his customary cafe. and his
old rooms we're vacant nor had he
left any address. II was as IL he had
feared to be reasoned out of a fatal
resolve. Yet he had friends who had

Figaro writes his requiem. He tells
how Deubel left his post of tutor at
Belfort and came in his early, eager
twenties, to tempt his poetic fortunes
in Paris.
Like all young poets," writes
Gregh, "he thought only of verses, Of
questions of meter Of schools of liter
ature. That for him was the sole
reality of life. The rest-politics,
finance. commerce-were but shadowy
accidents" But I'll fallait vivre," SO

From time to time he published a

Marne. "The hard facts of life which

to live at my uncle's, Richard was not
there SO much. He had displeased my
uncle, and he sent him away to
school; but at vacation times he came
again, and kept the house in discom-
fort. He seemed always to have a
special spite against me. Once he
broke a rare Dresden vase that Uncle
priced, and told him had done it.
Mother did not live long after Fa-
ther died, and after she was gone,
had no one to stand between me and
Richard. Sometimes l had to tell my
Uncle, but oftener l tried to bear it,
because knew Richard was already a
great distress to him.
AT last Richard was expelled from
college, and Uncle was SO angry with
him that he told him he would do
nothing more for him. He must go to
work. Richards father and mother
had not much money, and there were
other children to support. Richard

One Of the first considerations be-

On this account an elevation is worth
a great deal. The sewers may cost
nearly as much per lot on high ground
as they do through the lower sections
of the town, because usually the lots
are wider, although the diameter OF
the sewer may be considerable less.
Sewers start from the higher levels,
and increase in size as they go down
hill. Those living on the lower lots
may have plenty Of outlet; but have
