Men and Houses. : In all our modern industrial development there is the note of a dehuman. ized monstrosity; our millionaires and our mendicants are like the stunted dwarfs and toppling giants in a fair. We are a museum of freaks with no spectators, and this unnatural spirit breaks out, even in our architecture. Our houses are either giant houses like the flats of New York, or dwarf houses, like the villas of Brixton. That there is a normal human size for a family house bas been entirely forgotten. But these little houses bevond Clapham common carried yet a step farther the parallel of Barnum freaks, for they were semi-detached villas. They were built in the revoltinzg image of the Siamese twins. :

The man who lived in such a madern house, or rather half house, was not isolated, like a brave man, in his family fortress, nor was he welded into a manly and military community, like a man in a monastery or a barracks. He was linked by a link of brick as loathsome as the Siamese link of flesh to one other accidental man, generally to a man whom he disliked, —London News,
