Stream Flows Through House,
In the wonderful home built for
himself by Louis C. Tiffany an open
stream of water runs through the
house.
«water from the nillside is caught,
carefully treasured in a land basin
in one of the high points. It is also
pumped by steam and by electricity
from driven wells tnto tanks which
hold 40,000 gallons. Leaving the
larger cascade, the water passes
through a series of invisible pipes
into the house and appears in the
central court to vitalize an Oriental
setting.
“On the floor surrounded by an
interesting- Mosaic of rich colors
built solidly of blocks of marble, is an
tank. In the centre of
this is a large vase of glass, long-
necked and clear. It is here that the
water again appears.
the bottom and overflowing at the
top, it flows swifuy down the sides
into the marble tank.
“Two immense bowls of blown
glass, about the height of an ordinary
table—stand one on each side of the
marble channel. After playing a
sort of infantile tattoo on the many
facets of a huge rock crystal—sup-
posed to be the largest in the land,
and forming the liquid tongue of the
grotesque Tiffany dragon guarding
the entrance to the hanging garden—
it again disappears, dropping over the
edge some thirty feet into a large
shell-like basin at the foot of the
lower terrace.
“Again it is lost underground for
a time tin it reaches the twin fresh-
water lakes, where it whirls round
and round, past the island where
golden rod, Joe-Pye weed and bone
set line the margin, past the bog and
marsh garden with its splendid ool}
onies of marshmallow, cardinal
flower, wild rice and forget-me-not;
heading straight for the deep water
where the roots of the tuberous
water lily are firmly anchored down
and where the surface Is
goverad with lily pads, punctured by

Making a Cheerful Home,
Many a person is less well-mams
nered and good natured at home than
almost anywhere else. Many a person
is polite and obliging and pleasing in
company, and selfish and crabbed and
terrifying at home. Many a person
presents to the world an exterior of
attractive characteristics, and dis-
plays for the every-day experience of
his home folks an inward nature of
meanness and malice.
Home ought to be, for the child
and the youth, the best training
gchool for the future, and for the man
the chief incentive to labor. It ought
to be comfortable in every possible
way. It ought to be furnished with
every reasonable convenience. It
ought to boast of everything of cul
ture and education and refinement
that consecrated love and labor can
secure. Bach home ought to be such.
a one as to inspire its members with
high ideals of affection, justice and
industry. It should pour into the
heart of every inmate full streams of
devotion, courtesy and peace. It
should radiate truth, hospitality and
good will. It should be a city of ref-
uge as long as it lasts, and to its scat-
tered members a holy memory when
it is broken forever.
Home ought to be a cheerful place.
There is a great deal of sunshine in
the world. Large quantities should
be stored up about the home. There
{s almost nothing better to lay by for
a rainy day than pure sunshine. It
is refreshing when one is feeling out-
of-sorts to come across a lot that he
has put away and forgotten about.
Who has not had the experience,
when ill humored and miserable, of
stumbling into somebody’s home 80
full of sunshine that it has seemed
like another world?
If there is one thing more deplora-
ble than another it is a cheerless
home. There are going to be a good
many vain regrets after a while, on
the part of people who today are not
trying very hard to make home hap-

Tourists in France.
One of the curious aspects of the,
war in France is the effort of the,
railways to encourage the customary
tourist travel. The tourists, of course,’
are confining themselves to travel in

! side of the war zone, where the fear
' of the dangers of war may be “ume
grounded.”
