Italy Home Of Perqola.

The idea of the pergola was bor-
rowed from Italy, and many of the
best planned pergolas follow an 1tal-
ian model. They may be solidly built,
with brick or stone pillars, either
square or round, or sometimes with
these alternating; in this case the
flooring is generally Of brick or ran
dom jointed stone work. These solid
pillars form a good foundation for
rambler roses of all kinds, or festoons
of clematis, honeysuckle and wistaria.
Very generally, however, the pergola
is of lighter construction, and, in this
case, larch poles are often used. Care
should be taken to choose strong poles
and to see that the prevailing slope
of the cross bars is up rather than
down, as otherwise they sag in the
center in an unsightly way. These
pergolas are not such enduring posses
sion as the more solid ones, but the
cost is much smaller, and they soon
become beautiful, since most rambler
roses are so free-growing as to hide
the framework in short time. Much
depends upon the type Of house and
garden, the simpler pergolas being bet
ter suited to the cottage, while tagged
walks, with piers Of brick or stone.
seem more in keeping with the larger
and more stately dwellings.

Doctrines Of Nietzsche.

The two doctrines most often asso.
ciated with Nietzsche's name, though
they are not essential to his ethics,
are those of the superman and the
eternal recurrence. The first is the
end and justification Of human strug-
gle, and in the earlier books is repre-
sented as mythical product of the
individual will, while later it is de-
scribed as a higher species with the
relationship to man that man has to
the ape. The eternal recurrence 10

present events but form part Of an
infinite cycle and thus will be end

theories have been much discussed
and have exercised an unlocked for
influence, especially among men in
terested primarily in art or in social
reform; and many consider them the
logical outcome and application of Oar

Penrod led the way into the dainty
room Of his nineteen-year-old sister,

"There," he said, IN a low and
husky voice, II expect you'll see what

going to an inner door, he threw 1t
open, disclosing a clothes-closet hung
with pretty garments Of many kinds,
while upon its floor were two rows of
shoes and slippers of great variety

A significant thing is to be re-
marked concerning the door of this
somewhat intimate treasury; there
was no knob or latch upon the inner
side, so that, when the door was
closed, it could be opened only from
the outside.

"Aw WI" said Verman.
"Then 60 on in there. Hurry!

the closet and sat down among the
shoes and slippers, where he presented
an interesting effect of contrast. He
was still subject to hilarity-though
endeavoring to suppress it by means
Of a patent-leather slipper-when
Penrod closed the door.
"There!" said Penrod, leading the
way from the room. II guess now

Sam said nothing, and they came
out to the open air, and reached their
retreat in the Williams yard again,
without his having acknowledged Pen

Chinese Tablet on Broadway.

A bronze tablet with queer letters
inscribed on it is displayed in con-
spicuous place on the iron fence of
st. Paul's chapel, at Broadway and
Fulton street. It Is about six feet
from the ground and about ten feet
north Of Fulton street.
Thousands Of persons daily pass the
corner. Those who have seen the
tablet stopped and stared at it. The
only letters discernible to them were
% Vesey street, which were on the
bottom Of the tablet. The explanation
of its presence is that st. Paurs chapel
maintains Sunday school for Chinese
at % Vesey street.
The selection Of that particular place
for the tablet was due to the fact that
many Cinnamon on their way to Jer-
sey City on Sunday pass the Broad
way side of the church and turn at
Fulton street to the Hudson tubes.

and sprang upon Penrod, catching him
round the waist. simultaneously with
this impact, the wooden swords spun
through the air, and were presently
trodden underfoot as the two boys
wrestled to and fro.

by the onset of his friend. He had

Sam had the physical advantage.
However, 1t is proper that a neat

it a fight. Penrod and Sam were both

there was great bitterness; but no

Poetry by the Foot.

The following letter was received
by the principal of a continuation
school somewhere in Canada" from
an indignant mother who felt that her
boy had been overworked:
MY son writes me that he has to
study too hard. He says that you
give him so hexameters Of Latin a
day. T looked up hexameters and
found that it is a poetic verse of six
feet. Now that means 300 feet or 100
yards of poetry that my son has to
translate each day. I think about half
a hexameter, that is, SO inches, is
enough for boy of his age to trans

the leader ascertained, by a recon-
naissance as far as the corner, that
the hostile forces were still looking for
them in another direction. He re-
turned in a stealthy but important
manner to his disgruntled follower
and the hilarious captive.
"Well," said Sam impatiently, II
guess I'm not goin' to stand around
here all day, I guess! You got any
thing you want to do, why'n't you go
on and do it?"
Periods brow was already comfort
ed to present the appearance of de-
tached and lofty concentrations his
trionic failure, since it did not deceive
the audience. He raised hushing
hand.
"Sh!" he murmured. II got to

Verman bent double, squealing and
sputtering; indeed, he was ultimately
forced to sit upon the ground, SO ex-
hausting was the mlrth to which he
now gave way. Periods composure
was somewhat affected, and he showed
annoyance.
"Oh, guess you won't laugh quite

''You get up from there and do like

"Well, why'n't you tell him why he

manded, as Verman rose. "Why'n't
you do something and quit talkin' SO
much about it?''
Penrod haughtily led the way into
the yard.
"You follow me-" he said, "and I
guess you'll learn q little sense"

For the Children

A great deal of pleasure and
amusement can be derived now from
visit to the toy department of i
large store. One can't help but Won
der at the human skill and ingenuity
necessary to produce such quantities of
different toys. This has we'll been
called the century of the child, and a
GRANGE at some of the intricate me-
chanical devices to amuse Young
America, with their corresponding
price tags, also causes the thought
that perhaps it is bit overdone.
The toys of today seem to be better
made than those of a few years ago,
and are not so easily destroyed BY
the young man with an inquiring turn
of mind. Nothing can please the lit
tie fellows any more than a tricycle.,
and these can be had in any size. The
little Kiddie-Kars, a new invention in
the last year. are a perpetual delight
to the tiny toddlers. Another odd lit
tie toy is called a "Crawler." and is
made in the form of a turtle. This is
on wheels and stands only a few
inches from the floor. II is intended
for children who are still crawling
and is quite a help in keeping them
Off the floor. and at the same time
will furnish them considerable amuse-
ment.

are a valuable asset to any child's
education. These will help to carry
out one of the Montessori ideas OF
having children become familiar with
letters by actually handling them and
tracing around them.
The different varieties of dolls are
too numerous TO mention. About the
best of these are the Shoenhut dolls
that are practically unbreakable and
are jointed so as to assume almost
any position. They are a trifie more
expensive than other kinds, but are
great saving in the end. as Christ
mas dolls sometimes have very
short existence.
Any little girls would be delighted
with the dolls ironing boards and lit
tie clothes horses and the sets of tiny
washtubs in which to do dollies'
laundry.
