SAYS IVY HURTS BUILDINGS
English Architect Advises Its Removal
From the Historic Structures of
Oxford University.

Ivy, a picturesque adjunct, to the
lanscape in covering old buildings and
which has been so greatly admired by
American visitors to the historic towns
of England, is doomed. 1t Is asserted
that not only is the ivy highly in
furious to the buildings which are
covered by the vine, but that, in scores
of cases it destroys more beauty than
1t creates by obscuring examples Of
fine old architecture. In Oxford, es-
pecially during the last few years,
many Of the old college structures
which have been covered for gener-
atoms with masses OF the glossy green
leaves have been entirely denuded
of every vestige Of ivy and the work
is still going on.
Edward Warren, an English archi-
tect, in writing of the architectural
Improvement to old buildings by re-
moving the ivy covering, admits in
the London Times that he has been
responsible for the removal of a large
amount of Ivy from Oxford walls.
81 am its declared enemy" he says.
TT should be permitted to grow upon
no walls but those Of uninhabtted
and uninteresting ruins, or the rough
walls Of fields or gardens Ivy is
a terribly insidious foe to architecture
its acid secretions destroy the mortar
of the joints, reducing it to incohesive
sand, its fibers and it's tendrils push
their way between the joints, its
clinging branches grow and swell
in every available hollow and crevice,
bursting ancient holdings and shat
tering carvings, penetrating thick
walls If given time, lifting copings
and parapets, and stealthily and
steadily disintegrating the work Of
mans hands, while it smothers its pro-
portions and its beauties.

Overdid the Rart.

There is one smart Chinaman stay
ing now perforce in northern Mexico
who, but for a slight error, would be
enjoying q residence in the United
States. Arrested for attempting to en-
ter Illegally via the Mexican border
he tried to palm himself off before the
court, according to United States Com
missioner A. J. w. Schmid at Ell Paso,
Tex, as an old resident of Seattle. So
we'll had he been coached in the part
that the federal attorneys could pick
no flaw in his apparent knowledge of
Seattle, names and places. In desper-
alton, the prosecution finally asked il
he had ever known julius Caesar up
there. Yes, the Chinaman had heard
of him often. Did he remember Mark
Antony. and how he acted as states
witness at the trial Of Caesars muir
derers? Yes, he remembered Anthony
well, and the murder, too, and was
only a little hazy in his mind about
the trial. Ten minutes later he was
on a Mexican bound troIley.-New

HOLD FIRMLY TO BELIEFS
Mennonites Stress Biblical Stories
Which Other Christians Regard
With Some Liqhtness.

The advent of the Mennonites to
America came about when William
Penn had been granted land for his
Mennonites who had fed from Ger
many to Holland and his Quakers
came to their aid. The Quakers are
credited with helping them financially
In colonizing parts of Ohio, Indiana,
Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota.
Later, colonies were established in
Saskatchewan and other parts of
Canada.
A peculiar custom Of these people
is the washing Of feet. They say that
the command of Christ to the woman
to wash His feet stands on the same
spiritual level as His acts of distrib-
uting food and drink to the hungry
and thirsty. To the MennOnites the
story related by St. Luke is as impor-
tant as the ones other Christians re-
gard, including the sacrament and
communion.
Community property is another
Mennonite belief, although it is not
general. The members of the sect CO
operate in building roads, school
houses and churches.
One of the largest migrations OF
Christian people of modern history Is
that of about 100000 Mennonites, So.
600 families, from Canada to Mexico
which will begin soon. They claim
unjust treatment In Canada during

$4,000 for Cats.

Cats all over the world will benefit
from the 100000 obtained by the sale
of the Even homestead, in New York,
writes a correspondent. The lady,
Miss Caroline Even, who occupied the
house for years with her two sisters,
had a passion for caring for eats. lt
was her dream that every cat should
have plenty of catnip, and a comfort
able backyard fence to play on. She
devoted her life to establishing sana-
forums and relief organizations for
stray cats and when she died she left
all her estate, except $500, for carry
ing on her work. She cut off her two
sisters in her will because they were
not sufficiently enthusiastic about cats.
The money for rescuing the cat popu-
latIon of the world became available
when her nephew recently settled his
consent to her will out of court.
