Home Painting
By Children Praised.

lie Matin, Paris.--It is a charming
idea which has thought to ask pupils
in the schools to design the house
of their dreams" For to dream of a
house when one is small Is to invoke
the best visions OF bright and happy
home, in its form. attributes and situa-
ton. And the child visioning such a
house of its dreams is a little more
certsin eventually to attain to such
a delightful domicile. Such innocent
plannings and conceptions serve to
give definite aim TO their efforts and
ambitions, and to chart their lives over
A more clear. a more lovely and more
worthy course. 1t is, in brief. an
epitome of patriotism: concrete ap-
plication of energy toward an ideal
The more our lives unfold, the more
we like to go travelling. But long jour-
news demand for their enjoyment the
yigor and activity Of youth. We should
not. in our more volatile age, forget
the sedentary epoch sure to come with
more advanced years. when we can no
longer get about with such pleasures
and facility. When We are older we
prefer the peace and quiet and rest
frllness of our homes, and fortunate are
we then indeed If we can pass the
remainder of our lives in the houses
that we dreamed about when we were
only 10 years old.

charged that the article was an attack

erly should, but apparently without
effecting the desired corrections. Every
day we receive letters asking us to call
the attention of the city council to
negligences and indifferenceS on the
part of some citizens very distasteful to
others.
Among recent complaints is one
which reports that on the Gale Guiana

which does not conform in its location
to the building line of the other houses
on the street Just what the munic-
ipal inspectors are hired for, when
they do not discern an improperly of
this sort, Is not quite clear. At other
operations on this same street, mortar
and cement are being mixed right on
the sidewalk, to the annoyance of peo-
pie passing by. some of whom have had
their clothing burned with lime, and
splashed with sand and plaster
Others, instead of keeping rubbish
and garbage in containers in the area

These attractions of the building and

for in some respects they are more i'm
portant than any other matters with
which the municipality has to deal.
The public can receive no benefit from
measures not enforced, no matter what
great potential good may lie in them.
