T OUR ECONOMIC HOUSE.
It May Be Rebuilt, ■ Railway 8ta>
tion Is, While In Use.
Sometimes, when I think of the
growth of our economic system, It
seems to me as If, leaving our law just
about where It was before any of the
modern Inventions or developments
took place, we had simply at haphaz
ard extended the family residence, add
ed an office here and a workroom there
and a new set of sleeping rooms there,
built up higher on our foundations and
put out little lean-tos on the side until
we had a structure that had no char
acter whatever. Now the problem Is
to live in the house and yet change it
Well, we are architects In our time,
and our architects are olso^englneera.
We don't have to stop using** railroad
terminal because a new station is be
ing built We don't have to stop any
of the processes of our lives because
we are rearranging the structures in
which we conduct those processes.
What-we have to undertake Is to sys
tematize the foundations of the house,
then to thread all the old parts of the
structure with the steel which will be
laced together In modern fashion, ac
commodated to all the modern knowl
edge of structural strength and elas
ticity, and then slowly change the par
titions, relay the waifs, let in the light
through new apertures, improv^ the
ventilation, until finally, a generation
or two from now, the scaffolding will
be taken away and there will be the
family in a great building whose noble
architecture will at last-be disclosed,
where men can live as • a single com
munity. co-operative as in a perfected,
co-ordinated beehive, not afraid of any
storm of nature, not afraid of any arti
ficial storm, any Imitation of thunder
and lightning, knowing that the foun
dations go down to the bedrock of
principle and knowing that whenever
they please they can change that plan
again and accommodate It as they
please to the altering necessities of
their lives.—"Tie New Freedom," by
President Wilson.
STEVENSON IN HIS YOUTH.
And a Satirical Foracaat That Bacam*
a Reality.
I do not think that la these early
days Stevenson appeared to any of as
as specifically a genius, an exceptional
man set apart for great accomplish
ments. Indeed, had we been solemnly
assured that he would share the honor,
with only one or two possible competi
tors, of being the foremost - English
writer of the latter half of the aine
teenth century we would certainly
have received the assurance with a
smile. What! Louis! So simple,
kindly, natural; so all round a good
fellow; so like all the rest of us, only
nicer!
And I am quite sure that la his la
most heart at this period he could
uever really have looked forward to or
expected the fame which later came to
him and which grows and expands aa
time gives us the perspective where
with to view It in all Its roundness and
bigness and essential simplicity. In
fact, in introducing himself to me he
remarked simply that he .was "a writer
chap" or hoped to be one.
I was told of a rainy afternoon
"blague party," at which I did not
chance to be present, during which
Bob Stevenson amused himself by fore
casting the future careers of those
present When he came to his cousin
he remarked with a satirical little
smile: "There sits Louis, as smug and
complacent as aay old type de bour
geois. I have not the least doubt that
he fondly imagines that one of these
days they will be publishing all of his
dinky private correspondence—'the let
ters of R. L. S.'—in boards."
And Louis joined as heartily as any
one in the laugh which the sally rais
ed. Bob, at least, did live to see the
publication of the "Vuilima Letters,"
and I have often wondered If he 're
membered this little incident as he
thumbed their leaves.—Birge Harrison
in Century.
Squid Ink Bag.
Ancient Ink was made by a squees
inrr out of dead cuttlefish after the
body was perfectly relaxed. Painters
got their sepia from this same .squid's
bottle. This likewise is the true source
of the genuine and original India ink,
for which there has never been any
satisfactory substitute found.
The ink bag of the cuttlefish is as big
as a man's thumb and can squirt six
feet, darkening more than a hogshead
of water, so the squid can make un->
seen a dart and dash and get away
when squid eating sea flsh come round.

Watching Spongoa Grow.
Outside the harbor of Sfax, Tunisia,
in the shallow water of the clear Medi
terranean, is situated a biological lab
oratory for the study of sponges. It
Is one of the most unique in'the world
and affords opportunity for observing
the development of the sponge from a
tiny larva, so small that it can only be
studied under a microscope, until five
years later it has developed into a per
fect sponge.

place before I was robbed."
"I hadn't been a day here before I
was held up."

"Not exactly; by my nurse."—Baltir

!• FEROCITY ON THE STAGE.
8alvtni aa Othello Waa a Terror to Hit
Deademona.
So abandoned was Salvini at times
that It was difficult to believe that the
force was at all governable. Though
there would have been time Just be
fore the fifth act to run over my im
portant scene with him, it was not
done. In this act Desdemona's bed
was placed In what seemed from in
front to be an alcove, but the alcove
was not boxed In, and I could stand
right up against the bed.
Before the act began Miss Brooklyn,
who played Desdemona with sweetness
and appealing grace, implored Salvini
to be gentle. "Now, Mr. Salvini," she
begged, "do be careful, won't you?"
He playfully promised. When, after
she was asleep, he drew the curtains of
the bed aside and gazed down upon
her I stood within five feet of him.
The scene that ensued was at such
close range very poignant I did not
wonder that she had implored him to
be gentle. As he was choking her with
the pillows she kept gasping in broken
whispers of real terror between her
heard outcries and moans: "Oh, Mr.
Salvini! Please, please, Mr. Salylnl!"
Sickened and fascinated, I watched
him, and I did not make connection
with the real world again until Emilia
—that vigorous and Intelligent actress,
Mrs. Bowers—made her round off
scene at the back of the stage, calling,
"Murder, murder!" Then I rushed
headlong to Iago, for I knew that I
must shortly go on.
Of what happened that first night I
have no clear picture. I was dazed by
the sudden transition from the dark
ness where I had stood and seen Des
demona strangled a few feet away to
the torches of the stage and a world
which in comparison to the one I had
Just left was palpable acting. Docile
ly I hurried after Iago Und took my ap
pointed place. But I should not have
been in it when the time came had not
terror rooted me rather than given me
legs, for the ferocity with which
Othello ran at Iago and the rage that
distorted his features were unesam
pled. It was one tiling to have seen
it directed elsewhere and another to
find It plunging your way.—"A Super
With Salvini," by Algernon Tassln, In
Scrlbner's.
1 CULTIVATE JUDGMENT.
Without It Intellect and Knowledge
Accomplish Little.
Intelligence, Knowledge and Judg
ment were strolling along one day
when they came to a young baby sleep-,
Ing by the roadside.
"Here's a chance to do some good,"
said Intelligence. "That youngster ap
pears to be a splendid specimen of hu
manity. Suppose we serve him during
bis lifetime."
"A11 of us?" asked Judgment.
"Why not?" said Knowledge. "By
combining we shall be able to produce
a Tery superior person. I second the
motion."
Some moments later when the baby
rubbed his eyes upon a new world he
found himself equipped with Intelli
gence, Knowledge and Judgment
Many years later the three were
again out for a stroll
"By the way," said Knowledge as
they came to a spot at the roadside,
"do you remember that long ago we
three agreed to serve a certain young
ster?"
"Perfectly," said Intelligence. "The
curious thing about it all is that, al
though he is a perfectly good human
being and respected by all, he has nev
er amounted to much—has never ac
quired that supreme distinction which
he should have received with us three
backing him up."
Judgment was silent. They both
turned to him.
"How do you account for it?" they
asked. '
"I account for it quite simply," said
Judgment "1 agreed temporarily to
go in with you and serve him because
there was a majority against me. But
it didn't seem to me fair that he should
have so much, so I after a little quietly
withdrew and left him to be served by
only you two."—Life.
Palisades of the Hudson.
The Palisades artT" slowly changing.
To the traveler of a hundred years
ago they were a sheer cliff of clean
rock rising in a perpendicular line from
the water's edge nearly a thousand
feet Now they are buttressed at the
foot by immense deposits of broken
rock which frosts have peeled from
the cliff. Gradually this buttress is
growing higher.
The upward growth of this support
ing fclle is due to the trees—evergreens
of various kinds—which have grown
seemingly right out of the rocka.—New
York Sun.
Optimistic Gadsby.
"Gadsby has always wanted to live
In a cottage by the sea. That's the
dream of his life."
"And I presume fate has doomed
him to end his days in a fiat?"
"Yes. But Gadsby is an optimistic
fellow. He still clings to the marine
glasses he bought years ago."—Birming
ham Age-Herald.
A Growing Thing.
"Mrs. Smith has telephoned six times
now about that leak," offered the office
boy.
"Give it a chance, son," said the
plumber. "In a couple of day.s that
leak'U be worth twice as much."—

that when a man has some
thing to sell worth selling his
success is assured by letting
the people know about it.
Many business enterprises that should be
