The Art of Conversation.

A recent essay by a distinguished
American philosopher and essaysst
announces the paradoxical PROPOSE
ton that as a nation, we talk too
much and converse too little. The
terms are not, as most people have
thought, interchangeable. One may
be able to talk a great deal and yet
never know the first principles of
genuine conversation. The essay in
question attributes the loss of con-
versational powers to the modern de-
mand for action, the speedier the bet
ter, so that we have reduced speech
to terms Of business and action. Our
conversations in all the relations we
sustain to our fellow-men are OBJ
jective and must, therefore, be limit
ed to the accomplishment of some i'm
mediate end, says the Pittsburgh Ga
zette-Times. Interchange Of thought
is confined to such things as may be
within the scope Of our vision at the
time. Antecedents are wiped out SO
rapidly that we have no background
and, therefore, no real perspectives
The motion-picture screen is the
crowning emblem of our modern
mental processes. We live by flashes
of light Immediately before our eyes
while the entire surrounding areas
are inclosed in pitch darkness.

First-Floor Plan.

expanse of dark-tinted wall surface
with the lighter color, preferably
white, of the trim.
Since there are a large number of
windows, the wide cornices, the roof
brackets, the porch ceilings, the cop
ings and the girdles between the diff
ferent types of siding available for
painting white, the ensemble effect IS
far from dark and uninteresting. One
of the noticeable features of the ex-
terror, which aids materially in giving
this house it's distinctive appearance,
is the roof construction. While the
roof used on this house is of the sim
pie pitch type, the use of the roof
brackets and exposed rafter ends, to-
gether with the attic overhang in the
front and rear gables, places the roof
in somewhat of different class from
the ordinary pitch roof.
The house is a sensible one as re-
CARDS the plan. 1t is of such shape
that desirable sizes and shapes are
easily attainable in the rooms. On
entering the reception hall from the
front porch, the eye is Immediately
caught by the seat with windows
above and the bookcases built on
either side. A closet in the back OF
this hall provides handy place for
coats and hall-tree is unnecessary.
The living room and dining room are
pleasant, well-lighted rooms. Cased

Another FaIlacy Shattered.

Contact with young people is sup
posed to be rejuvenating Indeed, this
contact is the only good thing many
see in that absorbing and in every
other way desirable profession of
teaching. Was ever so false an idea ?
How could so obvious a fallacy get
the popular ear? Think how little
aware Of passing years we should be,
were it not for the young! Their very
presence proclaims our greater years.
They themselves seem to have con-
spired together to help US to a suitable
awareness. Every possible aid is of
fered, and offered in the kindest spirit
of courtesy. One is helped into wraps,
relieved of carrying loads or opening
doors, guided up and down steps, de-
posted in easy chairs, and generally
treated as fragile. 1t is all delightful
but the force of suggestion as exerted
by so many vigorous young minds will
sooner or later have its effect. We
may resist for time; ultimately, how.
ever, we shall take ourselves at the
rating of the community in which we
live. I have seen my friends capitu
late one by one, accept the verdict Of
the majority, and settle down into the
accepted properties Of middle-age.- =

Iananese Parliament.

The japanese parliament consists Of
a house of peers and house of repre-
Sentatives. The house of peers con-
tains both mobiles and distinguished
commoners. Princes of the imperial
blood and princes and marquises sit in
it by right of title. Counts, viscounts
and barons elect members of their or
ders. The emperor appoints the COM
moners of distinction, and there are
also seats for the highest taxpayers,
one from each prefecture. AT present
the house of peers contains II princes
of the blood, 13 princes, 33 marquises.
II counts, 6S viscounts, 66 barons, 122
men nominated by the emperor and 4S
highest taxpayers. Members of the
house of representatives are elected
by male japanese subjects twenty-five
years of age or over and paying a di-
rect tax of not less than 10 yen ($5).
There are 3S1 members, 1S1 from city

The appearance of framS house
is largely dependent upon the type
of siding material used and also in the
color and character of it's treatment,
whether paint or stain. Certain of
the house types commonly used call
for definite scheme of wall finish,
at least as far as the width of expo
sure of the siding boards or courses is
concerned. An example of this is
found in the Dutch Colonial and other
Colonial types on which structures
the wide exposure, whether siding
boards or shingles are used, has come
to be practically universal.
Combinations of the different widths
of exposure, the rough and the smooth
clapboards and shingles finished with
a harmonizing color scheme-all parts
not being of the same color of ne
cessity although there is danger in
using more than two colors on the ex.

In order that the greatest good may
be obtained from the large front porch
of this house, it would probably be de-
sirabfe to build the porch with a
screen inclosure. So fitted, it may cas-
lily be inclosed with storm sash dur
ing the winter months, making the
house easier to heat, especially In case
prevailing winds strike the house on
the porch side. The cost of this in
stallation Is considered by most home
owners to be fully repaid in the pleas
ure and enjoyment which 1t makes
possible.
The size of the house is 26 feet by
38 feet, exclusive Of the porches. 1t
is desirable that house of this type
be given plenty of room on the lot, il
1t is to show up to the best advan-
tage. Because of the balanced char
acter of the roof, the structure is seen
at its best when viewed from an angle,
which is, of course, impossible If there
are houses built closely in at the sides.
Assuming that lot having a width of

is sure to attract favorable comment
from passers-by.
A characteristic quality which is
evident in the house exterior is the
rustic appearance which is mainly de-
pendent upon the wall finish. 1t is
largely this which lends to the design
it's air of distinction. Rarely is this
element found in a two-stOry house of
this architectural type. 1t is the ele-
ment associated with the bungalow
and the cottage. 1t is the element
which makes the house possess the
inherent qualities of the home and
leaves with even a casual observer
the feeling that within there is cozi'
ness and comfort.

MACHINE GUN IS BEST WAR WEAPON

been known to stop an entire regi-
ment. It is indisputably the most ter
rible instrument of war.
Yet well-directed battery of "75"
cannon, sweeping a space Of ground, is
more certain to leave nothing alive.
These, then, are the primordial
means Of defense, to which naturally
are to be added the numerous rifles
Of the defenders of the trenches, those
trenches in which are invisible loop
holes where the enemy awaits our ap-
pearance.
Heavy Shells for Offense.
What are the adversary's means Of
annihilating these hidden, powerful de-
fenses? Only heavy artillery; the large
shell, the huge torpedo, the heavy pro-
jectile Of steel, inclosing violent ex-
plosive, is capable of demolishing a
netting, Of demoralizing those occu-
pants of the trench whom it does not
kill and keeping the adversary's nerves
on edge by the menace of its sudden
arrival several kilometers behind the
lines. Thus the means of offensive are
the heavy cannon, the large trench
mortars, the large caliber howitzers,
the formidable marine gun mounted on
rails, all that Is longest, most difficult
and costly to manufacture, to trans.
port, to set in motion. A machine gun
can be installed anywhere in two min.
utes or less. A month is required to
install the "320' trench mortar. To
put a naval gun on rails in running
order necessitates months of work anG
the installation of a railway. Ever
guns that are easy to handle, such as
the 1885," are moved with difficulty
at times it takes two or three days tt
place them in a battery.
And this is not all. The heavy ar
tillery is naturally less accurate thar
the field artillery. When one consid
ers that heavy guns soon wear out, a.
the big gun can fire only more or les:
limited number of shots, as its calibel
increases, and as it must CONSTANT,
be replaced, one understands why it i.
so much easier to take the defensiv,
than the offensive, and why the situa
ton on the western front, at all point
well defended, was stationary for S,
long a time before the means of at
tack were sufficient to permit of al
. offensive.

amount of whispering that went on on
board that evening may be readily
imagined.
Just before midnight, as was about
to turn in, I received a command to
go to the emperor's cabin wherein he
worked.
On entering I found him seated at
his table, his uniform tunic unbut-
toned, his hair slightly ruffied, by which
I knew that he had been writing hard.
"Von Heltzendorff," he said, as
stood beside his table, you were wit
ness of the insults placed upon me this
afternoon. Does anyone except our
cabin?"
81 have not told a soul, your ma
! jesty," was my reply.
NBut the officer who has raised his
hand against the sovereign to whom
he swore allegiance may have done ~
he said. "There is but one way in
which he may atone for his offense
against majesty. Hand this to him.
And he gave me letter addressed
in his own hand-addressed with all
Won Lantzsch's titles and distinctions,
1t was sealed with the emperor's we'll
known black wax.
Ten minutes later / handed the cap.
tain the emperor's letter.
He tore it open, read its contents
and then gave queer, nervous laugh
it seemed to me.
'Thanks, Heltzendorff. 1t was my
turn tonight to be on duty with hi:
majesty, but did not feel equal to it
Goodnight"
Early next morning one of the i'm
perial stewards entered and, awaken
ing me, asked me to go to Captain Vol
Lantzsch's cabin.
On entering found him lying deat
on his berth with blood oozing from
pistol wound in the temple.
Upon the little shelf of the foldin
washstand was a note addressed t
me.
J On opening it I found these word
scribbled in pencil:
, ''Dear Heltzendorff: have take
my life at the order of his majesty
Am I not a loyal subject after all?-

IndisputabIy the Most Terrible
instrument of Defense,
Says Observer.
Big GUNS OFTEN INACCURATE
While Necessary in Offensive Warfare
Heavy Artillery Is Not In Same
Class With Machine Guns
in Defensive Tactics.
BY A FRENCH SOLDIER.
On the Chicago Daily News.)

PariS.-Months of furious assault on
the French lines at Verdun, which
have brought into play the most pow
erful known means of attack, have
barely succeeded in bending the ad-
versary's lines. There is, it is true, q
diminution of forces on both sides, and
one may look forward to the day when
the accumulation of material and the
superiority in numbers of men on the
side of the allies will enable the latter
to break more rapidly the adversary's
tenacious resistance.
But why is it, one asks, that despite
the accumulation of heavy cannon it
costs so much in men and money and
time to break the enemy's resistance?
1t is because this war is being fought
in a period of development of the art
of war, in which the means of defense
are vastly superior to the means Of
offense in the facility with which they
can be brought into action and manu-
factured at low cost, and above all In
their efficacy, arising both from the
difficulty which the adversary finds in
demolishing them, and from the abso-
lutte accuracy of their aim.
Means of Defense.
To understand this one has merely
to review the means of defense at the
disposal Of the armies in the field.
! First, besides the trenches, and the
barbed wire that prevents access to
them, which are the basis of the pres
ent system of defense, and of which
the shell hole wherein the soldier con-
ceaIs himself from the enemy, is but q
variation, the two great arms of de,
fense are the machine gun and the
"75" cannon, the last resort of the
French army and one Of the great de
tenders of Verdun.
In the factory there is nothing
easier or relatively cheaper to make
than the machine gun. And at the
front there is nothing simpler to trans
port than this light arm, which three
or four men can carry as they run
It's aim is most accurate; it can, wher
necessary, fire from 500 to 900 car
tridges per minute, sowing death OF
every side with incredible speed. Blu
against a trench it is powerless, anC
, therefore it is pre-eminently the arm
, of defense. When properly handled
, it is SO redoubtable that one alone hai
