A POWERFUL PIECE WELL STAGE It Km Created a DeeMed oatatlesi la the MaglUk Mrtfepelte "BUljr" Ilereaee as aVaeked Ttdrty-tVcr Years Age Vfce late Katie Aagler. ' ENRY IRVINQ'S play, "The ucaa Heart," baa created a great sensation In Londen. It U the success of the season. The prologue, which oecnrt In 1771, opens In the brilliantly lighted garden of the Cafe de la Belle Jardiniere. Hera la the wicked Abbe Lateur, rake and plotter, who Is already acbemlng te wreet the bewitching Catherine Dural from the armt of her lerer, Rebert Landry, the llgbthearted young sculp sculp ter, for his friend, St. Valerie. St Valerie la persuaded te steal an entry into Gather lne's bedroom, where he is surprised by Lan dry, who is eventually taken eS te the Baa tile, by an order of the king, which the abbe has obtained. In the first act the curtain .rises en the raking of the Battile, eighteen years later than the prologue, during the French revolution, a wild orgie of bleed and fury. The stage Is full of the unkempt mob of men and women, with rolling eyes and war ing hair, howling, shrieking, firing, waring their tattered flags and brandishing their weapons. The Battile is taken before the very eyes of the audience, and the prisoners are led out one by one, a bleed curdling pro pre cession. Last of all Is borne out a withered and bent old man, his hair almost white, and se long that it hides his face, bis clothes fall ing off his back wl tu age and damp, a terrible figure, who is tenderly placed en the ground that his fetters may be knocked oil by the smith. Slowly and with labor the figure be gins te show signs of Ufa He essays te speak, but his veice is broken. Suddenly be brushes the bair off bis forehead, opens his eyes and leeks round. It is Landry, who Is recognized by Legrand, his old friend, rescued after rot ret ting for eighteen years in the Bastile. i It is a fine opportunity, of which Mr. Irv ing avails himself te the utmost, with that power of rendering the terrible and the gro tesque which is all his own. Fer nearly ten minutes en the first night he held the house enthralled with the horror of it all, and with scarce a word. He Urea ; he becomes a power en tbs ounxernrc. with the Rebesplerres and St. Justs, but his heart is dead, and he lives only for revenge. Fer tbe abbe lives, tee. Catherine Duval is new the widowed Countess of St. Valerie, ' with a gay and handsome young son, who Is being led te perdition by the abbe, his guardian. It is Landry's turn new. The'abbe and the young count are condemned te death. A noisy scene in the prison corridor, in which Jailer Teupet strives te drown the ribald songs of the men who are te die in the morn ing, Islhterrupted by tbe message of Landry summoning tbe abbe te bis presence. New comes one of tbe most effective scenes in the play. The moonlight is streaming through the windows of Landry's room. He sits writing at a table as Lateur, mocking and JestTng, is led in. The deer is locked, and Landry offers him a passport and a disguise if he will fight Tbs duel Is followed with Intense Interest, and the death agony of La tour is magnificent The clashing of the swords seemed te put spirit into him, and when with a violent effort he pulled the bleed-stained handkerchief from bis besom the action sent a shudder through the beuse. Then comes the heroic sacrifice of Landry. ' He meets the Countess Valerie at the feet of the scaffold en which the guillotine i erected, by the side of the skeleten limbs of he tree of liberty a horribly weird and suggestive scene. The dawn is close at baud, and a. streak of light breaks the sky. Envel oped in black the countess lies crouched up en the steps of the scaffold, awaiting the fatal hour when her son's neck shall be en circled by the ignominious cellar. Then Landry learns for the first time that Cather ine Duval married St. Valerie only when the Abbe Lateur bad produced evidence tbat Landry bad died in the Bastile. It Is then he resolves te take her son's place under the knife. The final leave taking in Landry's chamber is played with affecting pathos. Without, they are crying out the death roll; he, full of intention, tears himself away te take bis place in the tumbril; (he, mad with fear for her son, net understanding Landry's action until her son rushes te her arms, and uhen through the window she tees Landry en the .scaffold, when the curtain drops. The" let divided into three distinctive and clear Cut periods, which it is the purpose of the acts te emphasize the Old Regime (1771), the Revolution (1780), and the Reign of Terrer (I7W) all of them marked by an absolute difference of costume and manners; indeed, the history of nations presents no parallel of such complete changes in the course of se brief a period. Almest unparal leled care was exercised in the preparation of the costumes, two famous designers being employed for weeks in making drawings. In all nearly a thousand dresses have been made far the crowds alone. In ether words, there are about 200 supers who foment the mimle revolution at the Lyceum, and there are, variously, four or five "changes" apiece. Then there are the seventy or eighty soldiers, whose presence Is au important factor in the spectacle. Of the Swiss guards there are two or three varieties, and there is the French guard. But most interest centers about the grenadiers, who are royal guards first, then the "grenadiers of the center," and finally, after they have gene ever te the people, the "national guards." The crowd of 1760 b, for stage purposes, a magnificent one, for it consists of tbe savage, frantl let who robbed the Invalided of its many thousand stands of muskets, and wbe turned Paris into a factory of pikes setting up forges in the streets, and in a day and a half hammering out 60,000 of them. Many of th costumes ordered in f uch profusion and which were made by the theatrical ces- tumlsr, or "in the beuse," cost from 10 te 13 apiece; while for the dresses and acces sories of the soldiery, professional military tailors and acceutrement and uniform makers were employed. Tbe stage pictures of Mr. Hawes Craven and Mr. Tel bin are splendid efforts of scenle art, and M.

One of the meet famous and meritorious of France's men of letters died net long age. Hie name was Entile Augier, and he was born at Valence in 162a Wha be was 8 years old be went with his parents) te Paris. He was educated at the college Heart IV, the fashionable college of France, where he bad tbe geed fortune te meet tbe One eV An nate, who afterward made htm sua librarian, and among hie companions were Alfred de Mutest and the Due d'Orleana After com pleting hi collegiate course la 1S89 If. Augier, like te many ether Frenchmen wbc bare become distinguished In the world of letters, entered an attorney's office, and like many ethers before and slnoe be seen became disgusted with the atmosphere of dust, parch ment and formalities which it Inseparable from the law and Its surroundings. Xe was allowed te threw up the career of the law, and a year was given hlrr la which te cheese a vocation. Six months ad pasted In doubt and hesitation when the striking success of the "Ltt "Ltt crece"ef Fensard, the leader of what used te be known as the school of geed sense, proved the guiding star of Mr. Angler's destiny, and without having gene through the ordinary prelimi naries he quietly tat down In 1844 an.d wrote "La Cigue," a graceful and fresh little com kmiix auenm. edy in verse, which has perhaps somewhat lest its saver in the keeping. This little piece was played with immense success at the Odeen. After "La Cigue," Mr. Augier was smitten with a frenzy for work, and mistak ing desire for inspiration he continued like a mere scholar after having commenced like a master. His third production, "Un Homme de Bien," was a step in the right direction, which, followed up by the "Arenturiere" and "OabrieUe," finally led him Inte the path of steady and honest w erk. Fer the sake of clearness and convenience, the work of Mr, Augier may be divided into three periods. The first from 1844-S1 in cluding "La Cigue," "L'Aventurlere," "Un Homme de Bien," "Qabrielle" and "Le Jeueur de Flute" was a period of activity uncertain of its end. The second period from 1831-01, of which tbe principal works were "La Qendre de Monsieur Pelrler," "Le Mariage d'Olympe," "Des Ltennes Pauvret," "Diane" and "Philiberte" was a period ei curious and attentive study, ever trying te vary its Inspirations, examining carefully tbe world and the theatre. The third period of Mr. Augler's career commenced with a burst of Aristophanle comedy in the "Fils de Oibeyer," "Maltre Guerin" and "La Contagion," iu which Mr. Augier exhausted his vigorous satire In painting types of adventurers such as are found only tee often in Parisian society. W. J. FLORENCE. Even in 1855, thirty-four years age, when the portrait of W. J. Florence which appears below was first made, he was considered one of the premising young actors of America. That he was ene of the handsomest is shown by the picture. Florence is also a most inde fatigable joker. The late Ed Sothern invited young Fits Fits rey, son of the Duke of Beaufort, te a breakfast in the Graraercy Ferk hotel one day, and left him with Florence for a few mo ments while he went down stairs te see some ladies. Florence convinced tbe young lord that be was looking bad and needed exercise. vShIW W. J. FLORENCE- IN 1855. He provailed upon the nobleman te lift himself up and down w bile hanging te the top of the deer, first showing him bow te de it, and explaining the benefits of the exercise very scientifically. Then he ran down stairs, called Sothern out of the parlor, and told him tbe young lord had gene mad and was trying te climb ever the walls of the room. lie said Fitzroy imagined that ha (Florence) was going te LIU him. Sothern begged Flor ence te go back and see that the lord did net hurt himself, and said he would fellow in an Instant Then Florence rushed up stairs and Insisted that his lordship should repeat the healthf-J exercise. Fitzroy was springing up te cntc). tbe top of the deer, and pulling him self frantically up and den u, wheu Sothern came up, seized him and bulged him earnest ly te be calm, as.ured him no one meant te barm him, and tried te lead him te a bedroom te wait until a phjsiclan came te give him a seething draught It took five minutes te explain te the young nobleman just hew the joke had been arrahged. Fer many years Florence has formed one of a group of jelly old chaps, which has included the late Lawrence, or "Larry," Jereme, Capt William M. Cenner, Cel. Themas Ochil tree and a half score of ether geed naturcd wags. It is worth any fun loving man's w bile te attend one of tbe frequent Delmonlce or St James hotel dinners, says an old issue of The New Yerk Sun, when these wags are invited, and bear them tell of the amazing and elab orate practical jokes they have known te be played by one another en one another. The most peculiar fact about them is that they are never nngry at being tbe butts of a Jeke or the subjects of the stories that nre told about it afterward. Tbey will travel several hundred miles in a body te moVe things lively for Mr. Flo-cnce while ha Is playing en the stage, and though the country audience, where some one of them is taken with a well simulated fit, or where one gets up in an orchestra seat and denounces the star, may be considerably astonisbed, nobody ever knew Mr. Heienee te remonstrate or feel angry. Florence is Inured te experiences of this kind. Hie Hnt Carriage. Wheu carriages nere first used in England they were called "whirlcetes" and were used only by tbe ladies. Tbe w hlrlcete became unfashionable after Queen Anne showed the fashionable lnd'es of Londen hew gracefully a woman could tit en a cide saddle. Ceacties were kuewn in England In 15G0, tLcy having been Introduced from Germany by the Earl of Arundel. They came into general use among the nobility about the year 1605. Tbe Duke of Buckingham was the first te ride in a coach drawn by six horses. Te rldtcule this pomp the Earl of Nottingham put eight te his.

A tew l?etaters ter Beginner The Me the routes Bew te sara the DHkalt Strokes Rate et the Oasae and llew It la Flared. OLO hns been brought ever from Great Britain te America enl v within the last few years. Tbe gamers se nearly like the old game of "hockey." or -sninny," wmen every true American boy plays at tome period of his life, tbat one might term it scientific shinny. The game differs, however, from shinny In one import ant feature It is played en horseback, or rather en ponybeck. The regulation height of the pony is fourteen hands. The ground required for this sport should be larger In size than a field which would de for shinny. It should be of level turf without swampy places; In fact, as level as a baseball ground. A space of 120 yards In length by 70 yards In width is ibeut the smallest that can be used, and it Is vastly better if a ground twice tbe size can be secured. The rule is that the goals be net leas than 250 yards apart In the middle of it, at each of the two ends, are placed the goal pests, each goal being 8 yards wide, and it is the object te drive the ball between the pests marking the opponent's goal. One great attraction te pole, which has made it se popular, is te be found in the horsemanship which is re quired of the players, as well as their quick ness and accuracy in hitting the ball. At times a player Interposes his pony before hit antagonist se as te prevent reaching the ball. It Is an exciting and at times quite a dangei out game. It calls for perfect horseman ship, well trained and speedy ponies, nerve and self possession, fearlessness even te reck lessness, and quick judgment Rider and beast must net only thoroughly understand each ether, but must also pull together. Like in football, team work is in dispensable. There are sudden steps and even mere sudden starts. There are sharp chases and hard, breakneck riding with quick turns and wheelings. The opportunity for skill in the saddle and with the arm are many and brilliant IP a stick is dropped, tbe player A BTABT. must dismount and pick It up, but he cannot strike tbe ball until again mounted. Tbe stroke is made with a long stick or mallet, which the rider holds in his right hand, as be guides his pony with the left If he attempts te "dribble" the ball the chances are tbat it will be lest and everriden before it has been taken as far as ene geed hit would send It Pole is in this respect almost diametrically opposite in its system te shinny en the ice, in which "dribbling" is the most important part of tbe game, and skill in keeping with the ball and working it all ever the pond li tbe chief qualification of a first class player. Twe strikes are common in pole, the forward and the back-banded. The latter Is extreme useful when tbe ball broiling towards tbe goal, and a player of that side galloping after it overtakes it in time, and by one chance back-hit sends it flying away far behind his back te his friends. The chief requisites as te tbe ponies are, that they should be swift, both lna straightforward course and at the turn, afraid of nothing, and obedient te the slightest movement' of the rider. These are perhaps rather heavy demands te make, and In effect a geed pole pony should be worth a much higher sum than be brings in tbe market It can be safely said that an animal which Is really geed for pole must be geed for al most anything else. Intelligence is absolute ly essential in the pony, and it is astonishing with what rapidity and ease a Shetland peuy, or indeed one of any ether geed breed, will come te understand what is expected of blm in the game. After a short time be will learn te knew just what the rider means by each slight pressure of his hand or knees, and A DASH. will need but little guiding with the rein or pulling up with the bit. At one tlraj pole was looked upon as a very dangerous game, likely te injure horses, owing te the abrupt checks and starts required of tbm and the knocks from the stick. But it is found In practice that, if a player is, te begin with as, of course, he should be able te ride fairly well, there is no danger of accidents. Ponies de net suffer, as is sun pried, from tbe apparently cruel sport M.my have been known te win very geed races, when put into training for the winter. But it is very necessary ter beginners te take care hew they make a stroke ihen there are several ponies together, bunched, se te speak, as it would be an easy matter te give a knock out blew te a comrade or a pony. If a player Is "before bis side," that is, if he is in front of the player of his own side who has hit the ball, he Is "off tlde" or sneaking, and out of the game. He does net bocemo "en his side" until tbe ball Is hit, or hit at, en tbe opposite side, or until ths player, en his own side, who makes the bit passe blm. As long as tbe player remains "off aide," he has no right te hit tbe ball or Interfere with the opposing players. Tbe use of tbe left hand in wielding the stick and striking with It would, if acquired at the start, glea great advantage te any one who devoted a little attention te this. It would also teach a most useful lemon In riding with tbe bridle in the right hand. A ery geed way for Improving at pole Is te use frequently a pair of Indian clubs. These develop the wrists, making them both strong and supple, and It becomes easier te strike, net only accurately, but with speed and con fidence. The back hit, which is mode by turning the elbow and knuckles downwards and swinging the hand denu sharply from near the shoulder past tbe knee, cannot be leam by Bfrtly practicing during the game.

Skrtrh of the Tameus none That Wen the First Special at Tep Weight. Of all the borers en the American turf to day none it mere highly spoken et by the sporting fraternity and levers et racing than Kingsten, no is a consistent performer, and has earned for himself the title et king of tha American turf. He innde his first race In August, 1S30, at Monmouth park. In this race, for the Junier Champien stakes, ha ran second te Trement, Fitzroy getting third place. Shortly afterward he ran first In tha Select stakes, beating King Fex by a head. There were eight entries for this event He made ene mere race at a 3-year-old, finishing second te King Fex. The next year Dwyer Bres, bought him fe. Ili.'.WO. During his 3-year-old career he wen thirteen races out et eighteen, defeating such horses as Barnum, FIrenzi, Volante and ether crack flyers. At a 4 year-old he wen -ten out of fourteen races, meeting the best flyers en the turf. Kingsten it a seal brown horse, new 5 years old, and stands about six teen bands high. He Is a magnificent ani mal, having a deep chest, that shows great lung power and plenty of breathing space, powerful shoulders and a pair of quarters highly developed. He it by Spendthrift, dam Imported Ka panga, thus coming honestly by his gameucss and speed. Kingsten's greatest perfermance was tbe winning of the First Special at the fall meeting of the Brooklyn Jockey club this year. He carried top weight, 122 pounds, and crossed the line before Raceland, Les Angeles and Tenny. In this race he proved KKOBTOW. te the satisfaction of all tbat his back was a sturdy ene which weight could net weaken. In this race he covered tbe distance, a mile and a quarter, In 2 mln. 6) tecs., being a half second faster than the record. Truly he it a magnificent animal. An Unfortunate American Aeronaut. An accident, by which the American aeronaut, Charles Lcreux, recently lest his life in a German seaport, must be at tributed te ills own carelessness. He never fastened himself te the safety line, which is usually attached te the para chute invented by him, because it hin dered hira In landing; he trusted solely te his physical strength, and only held with his handt te the ring of the parachute The marks of strangu lation, which the corpse showed, prove that the violent swaylngs, caused by the ve hement storm that was agitat ing the air at that time, must have "entangled L e - LEROUXr- roux In the tackle of the air ship, se that before reaching the water he could net jump off and save himself by swim ming. As the parachute, en account of the violent storm, was moving with great velocity, the body must have leen thrown with great force Inte the water, whereby Lcreux must bave lest con sciousness. A year age Inst fall Lcreux had under taken 238 descents with Ids parachute in Paris, Londen', lierlin, nnd ether places. He was 83 years old when he tlictl, and, hailed from Waterbury, Conn. He served as a sailor in the American navy, and, when at a fire in Chicago he was com pelled te jump out of a live ctery house, he conceived the thought of inventing for similar dangerous occasions his para chute, which departs from ether known constructions in this feature, that it only unfolds snu become capablu of cany ing after the descend? nt lias loosened it from the balloon and Inflated it in the form of a salL A Quiet Cemer.

Kaormems Saras raid la England for Ad vertMag 7,800,000 for "Advertising Privileges" In One Teat A Hill Sticker Makes 9,000,000, Special Gorrcpendroce 1 Fmt.ADKt.riUA, Oct 81. America leads the world in se many things that when we have te take the second place ere can well afford te acknowledgo It In the matter of advertising, for in stance, we nre in the habit of thinking that we of the United States discount every ether nation, and if osked where the greatest secttlscrs are te be found nine peeple out of ten would undoubted ly say in this country. But it Is net true. Great blowers of our own horn as we nre,v the Englishmen, nnd even the Frenchmen, can give us points In this matter. Our business men are without doubt skillful and enterprising in their way, but as yet they are only student of an art in which their brethren of Eng land nre pact masters. One of the first things that strike an observing American setting feet In Liv erpool is the number, variety nnd Inge nuity of street ud vcrtiscments. The horse cars, or tram cars, as they call them ever there, are literally moving sign beards. These tram cars are two story houses en wheels. The advertisements cover every inch of space, inside Bnd out, which is net required for seating the passengers. Leeking upon thebowllder thebewllder Ing array of proclamations et the vir tues of soaps and matches and announce ments of current nnuiwments, It is sim ply impossible for the stranger te tell the destination or route of the car. Omni buses nre decorated in the sameway, and the drivers have mud curtains, um brellas and waterproof coats all em blazoned with advertisements. "Sandwich men" ero neither few nor far between. We hnve them here, but in English cities there are hundreds te our dozens. They go about ever there in companies of twenty-live, straggling in single itle along the gutters for they nr net allowed 'im the sidewalks and when ene company passes another the sight has the effect of a precession of uni formed men. A few years age I crossed the Atlantic with a great American man ufacturer who was going ever te teach the Old Country hew business might be built up by novel advertising. His soap had conquered the United States, and he proposed te wash all England with it. He get no further than Liverpool, and had been but ene day en English soil when he confided te me that although lie had come, te teach he would step te learn. "We de net knew the alphabotef the art of advertising," said he, "and as te soap, w ell, hereafter I shall suhstitute 'carry soap te England' for the proverb 'carry coals te Newcastle.' Te my mind it is mero expressive." A railway station, whether surface or underground, is the pnradise of the out door advertiser. The bill pester fairly revels in the opportunity which it af fords for the display of illuminated pa per and the painter keeps him company. The biggest letters of all arc employed in displaying the natne et the great bill pesters of the United Kingdom, and It is net uncommon for the Btrangcr te ml take these names for the first three or four times that he sees them for the names of stations. Te find the latter in this wilderness of signs requires ex perience as well as keenness of sight. The gcneral recollection of them is a confused mingling of bright color and paint, but new and then a catchword from fre quent iteration lingers in the mind, One placard in flaring red nnd black letters two feet long reads, "What It costs te kill a cat." The rest of the no ne no tlce was in much smaller tj pe, and as often as I scanned the legend I am still in ignerance as te what the awful pen alty of fclicide may be. I am net argu ing in favor of this sort of advertising en the contrary my inclination is against its utility. It is an open question hew many of these railway signs are ever read except by the few peeple who are waiting ever for trains and have neither newspaper nor books in hand for time killing. The spaces in the tomb like underground perches ought te be mere valuable, since while shut into them you nre obliged te read what stares you in the face. I have a num1cr of these advertise ments, together with notices te the pas sengers, quite by heart. If you leek at j our compagnens de voyage they glare back at you with ai alt which accuses you of all sorts of evii intentions, and rather than encounter their suspicions or the lurking accusation of impel tl tl nence you must pcrforce commit te memory the tributes of respect te cow slip lue and Bass' ale, as well as tlit. n cords of convictions for stealing rides and assaulting passengers en "circle trains." On the ether hand the mes useless of the promiscuous bill sticking would seem te be that en the pavements where all day long forlorn figures crouch in the slush just outside of the curl stene pasting bill nf ter bill en the wet stones te be obliterated by the feet of the throng, scarcely ene of whom pauses te glance at the paper en which h treads. A few randetn figures obtained from authentic, sources u itheut a low te pub lication impress the idea of the whole sale way in which the British advertise gees about his buHlncss. William II. Smith, who is known te the world el politics as the first lord of the treasury and the Conservative leader in the house of commons, and te the stage as Sir Jo Je seph Perter, K. C. B., of "II. M, S. Pin afere," is also the lessee of the advertis ing privileges en the railways of thi. United Kingdom. The incorae of Mr, Smith's firm from this seurce must Lx as large as fiem the newsdealing busl ncsg.ef which he haj the monopoly, ei as that et Spiers & Pend from their res taurants. At all events, I have it from very hlgl authority that last year his advertising privileges yielded him I,500,OOC-that ii te say, ever seven million dollars. I would find this hard te bclieteif I did net knew that my informant himself, a soap "promoter," pays Smith & Sen -10,000 for handling und displajing a single ndtertlsemcnt. Willing and Part ington divide the hill pebtlng business of Londen between them. Each began life with a brush in ene hand and a paste pet in tha ether. Each Is new a millionaire, nnd Willing, who is said te be uuable te read and w rite, lias an estimated furtunt of 2,000,000. The greatest ndvertlwr In the world is Pear, of soap celebrity. His expendi tures en this account stagger belief, but Mr. Barrett, who is te nil Intents and purposes Pear, says that for every jxjund that he has sjicnt in printer's ink, faint and paste, he expects te spend ten. t was this concern which enlisted the best brushes of the Royal Academy in the execution of its aihertlslng schemes. It is net unusual te pay $2,000 for an ac ceptable design, and there are scores of artistlcailv painted pictures en the dead walls of Londen for which he has paid as much as $300 apiece. But with him, as with nearly etiry ether successful advertiser, dead wall aihertislng it sec ondary e newspaper adterttsJiiiTi ,t te printers in it that pays the best aftet alii wJ flrfJ thet the quickest response always cornea from newspapcra and pe riodicals." Yeu may have soma faint Idea of what such t concern spends In advertising when 1 tell you that Tear's people paid 50,000 ($330,000) in laying the words, "Geed morning. Have you used Pear's seapr" before the public, nnd that they think they never tnade a better invest ment. Fer Sir J. Millais' "Bubbles'1 they paid $7,500. Here Is something for American business men te put In their pipes and smoke. Pushing Pear's nre two ether seajw, Breeke's nnd the Sun light, the former made by an Ameri can house, with headquarters in Phila delphia. The soap peeple, by the way, tell me that it pays te advertise soap only in English speaking countries. Seap is net in demand In any ether. In this country the newspapers tee often have te run nfter the advertisers instead et the advertisers running after them. Net se in England. There the question of the utility of advertising is past the point of nrgument. It isenly a question of cheice of mediums nnd methods nnd whether the advertiser can get the space that he wants in the mo me dluin of his choice. In the counting rooms of the great dallies and of such periodicals as Punch, The Graphic, the yueen, The Field, etc., there is a sub itum air of "take it or leave it" en the part of the men behind the counter. Some papers be rigidly limit the space given te advertisers that one must wait weeks or months for the appearance of his announcement, nnd then perhaps accept a half less room than he asks, ' Perhaps this difforence is due In some degree te the fact that English publishers show their own faith In advertising by taking their own mediclne in most llberal doses. All of tha bigdally newspapers except, perhaps, The Times, which- is a law unto itself nre liberal advertisers. Seme have ene method and seme another, but all manage te keep befere the publie and have themselves talked about. In turn, their own advertising spaces are in great demand, at prices which are high compared with the low rates ruliug en this side of the Atlantic In six consecu tive days The Londen Times devoted 200 columns te advertisements and 209 te ether reading mnttcr. In the same "num ber of issues The Dally Telegraph pre sented SOI) columns of advertising and only 182i of ether matters. The Dally News gave 1331 of its 830 columns te ad vertising. The proportion of advertise ments te pure reading matter in the great American newspapcrs is smaller, but with us it is net always easy, even for the expert eye, te tell the ene from the ether. The Dally Telegrnph, which claims the largest circulation in the world, nnd The Petit Journal, of Paris, which long nge distanced it in the race, are large bill beard and dead wall advertisers, and The Londen Dally News fellows en the same lines. By the way, I have often Been halt a column or mero of journalists' wants nnd journalists wanted, the former predominating. This clans of advertisers is very rare with us outbide of papers, of which Mr. Ferman's Journalist is easily chief, devoted te the newspapcruieu and their interests. The Dully News pub lishes its rates in displace! type under the editorial head.

There It something suggestive et a southern home In this fleer plan, although It is built in a northern city. The 'large main room, which extends the full length et the house, the arrangement of rooms en each tide, the bread expanse of perch In front, tbe wide, low pitched reef, the kitchen extension hi the rear, all suggest the southern house. ELEVATION. It Is net uncommon In such buildings te have the entrance directly In front. There Is always objection te a direct potfage into a large room. Tbe placing of a vestibule In front of or at one tide of a large hall changes it Inte a room. If there wtre a deer In ths front part of tha large central room et this house there would necessarily hate te be a hat rack or ether repository for wraps, umbrellas, etc., which never present themselves agreeably te the eye. Furthermore, In placing them away from the deer, there w euld be a passage across the room te the bat rack, which would be marked at times with dirt and dust brought In from the outside. Tbe vestibule and stair ball change all this. In this tustance the stair hall is placed at the side, which gives au unobstructed view from thu front rmrtef the main room. This stalrball can be covered by a rug, which can be carried out of the heuse for cleansing. One of the great objections te hard weed floors in houses which must be cared for at a moderate expense Is the large amount of la bor tbey require. They are easily tolled, and show the slightest disfigurement, se that it is necessary mere than once every day for some one te wipe them up in spots, if net all ever. In houses where expense or energy of servtce is net important this may ba a small matter, but as the general condition must contem plate economy of energy, It is important that this matter be considered. The disposition which lead these of moderate means te fol fel low the example of wealthy neighbors tends te tbe use et many bard weed floors. A geed body Brussels carpet Is easily taken care of as compared tilth a hard weed fleer, and the first cost is but little mere. Tht lettd finish of the entire lower fleer of tbibfU,UeJ bard weed.

The height te the small room it derived by placing a dormer tbe slat et tht room en that tide et tbe house. Te return te the first fleer. The mala room Is divided by a circular form of orna mental fretwork te that there is a large pat pat sage through the center. The view from the front through this fretwork te the mantel and scat In the rear is very charming. The mante Itself Ii et weed. The facing het' enameled tile. Very little weed work shows ea the front through the shelf. The perch is a very elegant feature et this house, presenting, at It does, large unob structed space for this room outside the house. The main body of the perch, as will be seen, It te one tide of the entrance, thus no one is disturbed by a passage from the front steps te tbe deer. The large gable In front of the perch Is left open te the sheathing line abeve the rafters. The effect et this Is net only agreeable, but it lets mere light Inte the main room than would be the cast If tbe gable were filled with ornamental forms of weed work, shingles or ether material which obstruct the light te a line with the top of the columns et the ether pari et the perch. There it another point about this epea ga ble which can only make itself apparent from experience. That Is, there is a feeling pleas antly in contrast with the depressing effect which comet from slttlnjf under the low root et the ordinary fersa of perch. One can tit uuder thlt gable, leek up and see a large ex panse of iky above him; otherwise, there Is little mere than the horizon te be seen, A number of people titUna en inch a poreh will naturally move from Ach end te the center te get under the opening of the gable with out really knowing the reason. ground rxoea.
