MODERN HOUSE BUILDING Few sciences have made more rapid progress withla the past few years tban that of architecture. This progress has been chiefly in two directions first, in the direction of health, convenience and comfort second, in the direction of ex ternai appearances. Undoubtedly this improvement in the science of house building has been due in a great measure to the large number of trained architects who have been turned out by the various schools of special instruction in this and kindred branches but it has also been owing to a considerable extent to the improved taste and increasing wealth of the people. To whatever causes attribu table, it is certainly a most agreeable thing to contemplate.

Of

Compared with the habitations twenty years ago the houses of to-day are simply marvels of beauty and com fort. With their convenient arrangement of apartments, their balanced win dows with. French plate glass, that slide up or down at a touch, their bath rooms supplied with hot and cold water by tbe simple turning of a stop-cock, their basement furnaces which beat the bouse from bottom to top with never a trace of dust or smoke, their excellent ventilating contrivances, and, last but not least, their splendid cooking ranges, the internal arrangements of tbe modern bouse seems almost as near perfection as the science and skill of man c«n bring them. Nevertheless, Improvements are still being made and doubtless will continue, until even the houses of to-day will eventually fall into the background oo tn pa red with those that shall second them.

Nor have the internal improvements outrun, or even kept pace with, those which have to do with tbe exterior. Never before were such taste and skill in designing both public and private buildings displayed as are to be seen to-day. In any of our larger cities are to be found numbers of costly edifices whose grandeur and beauty are only squalled by their solid and enduring character. Among private residences the diversity in design, oolor and material excites the most pleasing emotions in tbe mind of the observer. Men of taste, culture and ample means vie with each other in erecting splendid mansions for their families. Tbey take unbounded pride in building these palatial homes and furnishing them with corresponding riohness. Many of them live like princes. And oertainly If they have come legitimately by their wealth there Is no object more worthy of its outlay than tbe founding of an elegant home. How much better this tLan hoarding and piling up their money for their ohlldren to wrangle over after tbey are gone! Tbese splendid mansions not only minister to tbe happiness of those who dwell within their walls but tbey are "things of beauty" to be seen and enjoyed by all who pass by them.

But it is not alone In the great houses that tbe beautiful In house building is displaying Itself. None exhibit It so well, perhaps, as the modest and cosy cottages that are springing up like very flowers of architecture wherever people of cultivated taste reside. Many of them are as pretty as the pictures in a dream. Riding along tbe street tbey flash out npon us, from among their sober and stately surroundings, as the sun bursts out after a shower. So bright, so neat, so picturesque they are, that "love iu a oottage" suddenly take* on tbe rosetinted hue it wore when first it came to the youthful heart. How far, how wondrous far, little paint, well mixed, a tasteful designer and a oompetent joiner go I "It's all In your eye Yes, so it Is but If only a great many more people had it in their eyes We would not be offended then by so many slovenly and unsightly houses that might for tbe same expense have been tidy and tasteful. Tn the matter of painting a house, for instance, bow much good taste will tell. On a certain street stand to day two bouses side by side. Tbey are both two story bouses and neither has much tbe advantage of tbe other in point of aruhiteotural effect. Leas than a year ago they were both painted white but considerably worn and Aided by the sun and weather. Their owners repainted them and now heboid UM transformation I In point of beauty there is now the width of tbe world between them. One looks squatty, dull and old the other, fireah, dean, elegant and new.

Tbe ebotoe of paints worked tbe wonder. And it will do it always. Some months ago a western gentleman, vkdtlng Philadelphia, was struck by tbe beauty of tbe painting of a certain bouee be saw there. Wish tog to transfer the effect to his own bouse in lbe west he employed a painter to paint a couple of small pieces of board exactly aimiiar to tbe colors on tbe house. Bringing tbee^with him be pro cured a competent painter to pot a ooat of paint on his bouse of exactly tbe same •hades represented by UM boards, and

now has perhaps tbe most elegantly painted house in tbeolty where be lives. He feels well repaid for bis pains and trouble.

BAYARD TAYLOR, tbe new minister to Germany, in answer to a correspondent denies being on the same religious craft with Bob Ingersoll, and says that while he may not be very eminent for piety, and may have been a pretty close student of German philosophy, he is a firm believer in tbe Christian religion and as far as possible from anything like infidelity. He intends while in Germany to collect material for the completion of his life of Goethe. i§-l

THE blue ribbon workers have a strong ally in some of the leading life insurance companies of New York, who have caused a statement to be sent to their policy holders announcing their determination to abide strictly by the letter or the bond with reference to death losses caused by the use or abuse of intoxicating liquors. They state that their policies are based on an agreement to abstain from indulgence in liquor, and they shall hold their patrons to the strict letter of the contract.

HIGHWAY robbers sbonld be cautious about demanding "money or life" hereafter, and a pocket article has been invented which combines a pocketbook, a cigar case and a revolver, the latter being arranged on the interior and attached to the frame with a simple device for discharging at will. "The advantage of sacb a pocketbook," says the inventor, will be readily perceived, and forms a convenient mode of carrying a revolver for protection, especially when attacked, as it can be fired at a highwayman while handing him your pooket book. Fancy tbe disappointment of a highwayman on reaching out to receive a well filled wallet and feeling a chunk of cold lead rushing through his vitals."

THB fashion plates herald a sensible change in woman's dress—the shortening of skirts so as to clear the ground. We hope no prudish nonsense will prevent a hearty welcome and a return to this common-sense fashion that will ourtail the length of a woman's skirts to decent proportions for street locomotion. It is quite certain that this short-skirt fashion, unless it takes the sbspe of a ballet oostume, cannot well be half so indelicate or absolutely immodest, as tbe long train of a year or so past, when gathered hastily into the hands and lifted from contact with the sidewalk, to tbe oertain exhibition of feet, ankles and white underskirts, and not unfrequent reveal ment of still more of the feminine underpiining than woald be confessed to as intentionally offered for observation. With the short skirts, on tbe other band, woman can oount on both a larger share of modesty and of freedom, since her dress will take care of itself and leave her the ase of both hands. ».v

CHARACTER IN SINGING. Sounds from the bouses and homsflBf the people which fly into the street when tbe doors and windows are shut, often betray tbe character of the house and its inmates without their knowing it. No tones do this with greater oertain ty than musical sounds—especially vooaliam. There is character in ainging which is unmistakable. No one could make any mistake in passing a variety theater when tbe serio-oomic vooalist is on. No matter where it is, or who she is, you hear the same piercing, rasping high notes which stick into yon like a barb and ring in your ears like shrieks of lost souls in torture. That is tbs universal variety stamp. Tbe same sounds are beard in other houses by late pedestrians, acoompanied by piano music of the same grit. The only merit of it is that tbe voice and tbe piano are in a perfect harmony of soresch and discord. Thus music that psnetrates the darkness of the streets tells tales of character so olearly that there is no doubt about it, and turns the house Inside oat, Tbe variety songster is always In the variety key, and the variety patrons catch it. Tbe Philharmonic Journal classliles the singing sisters in a wider ssnss than mere ton^ the classes being—dressy singers, undressy singers, stonehy singera, bra sen fined singers, timid singers, screechy singers, bellowing singers, sharp singers, flat singers, school-girlish singers, oonfldentsiBgec*, mincing singers, touchy singers, and donVears-a-flg singers, and these varieties, including all grades of prime donna, disclose their characters the very moment they open their months. Truly it is serious and even perilous thing to sing. Fbr vocaltarn seems to tarn characters inside out no matter where it comes

THE HOMELIKE HOME. ITS EFFECT UPON TF*E EMBELLISHMENTS OF TASTE.

A paper on Landscape Gardening, pre? pared and rt*d by Rev. 8.8. Martyn before tbe Horticultural Society, at its meeting held at tbe house of Mr. George 0. Pay, Thursday, March 7th, M7&.]

Joseph Cook, in picturing the true law of development, once began his lecture by bursting forth with the following epigrams: "Luxury says, great is plush Culture says, great is brains Faith say, great is God!" Then, a'ter tracing the true artistic law as that of simplicity running throughout all beauty and making beauty itself the helpmeet tbe useful and of the soul-life within us, he sketches the upholstered home, whore art ia paid for by the yard, and taste is measured by the bills hen ored and paid, and show is the standard of gentility and social standing. The head of tbe family has a large bank account to his credit as the result of honest business toil, and ne buys bis literary outfit as he does his silks, by tbe wholesale, at a hundred or two hundred dollars a shelf, until he has stocked his library with books whose elegance ex ternally is equalled only by their unmastered contents within. And this Mr. Cook says, is the elegance of plush gaudy, massive, gross. He then turns to a quiet, yet attractive, study in aNew England town. Nothing is pretentious nothing showy and yet you feel an in describable, pleasing sense of peaoe and quiet as you enter. A few flowers are on a stand by the window. Tbe atmosphere of luxury is wanting, yet comfort ia there. A few choice pictures are on the wall—not remarkable for their setting, but for the life that is in tbem. Well-selected and well-thumbed books also line tbe Walls. We enter, and feel at home at once, as we take a seat in the pleasant work-room of Ralph Waldo Emerson, the Plato of America.

Now this simplicity, this subtle sense which shows an appreciation of life's surroundings as means for expressing the finer feelings and aspirations within, with just enough of material elegancies and of luxury to indicate that such things are servants, not masters, of oar thought and life—in this finer alchemy of nature, which, for want of a better name, we will call the homelike is the philosophers stone to be found which shall transmute the mass of Inanimate forms on either side.of us -into living, breathing shapes of comeliness and beauty—making every rock in dale and hill an amphionic shell, resonant with sweeter strains than of classic yore, to add to life's harmony and song. Gold smith seems to have caught something of this thought whenjn.his "Deserted Village" he sings: 'Sweet. Auburn! loveliest village of the plain. Where health and plenty cheered tne laboring swain, Where smiling spring its earliest visit paid, And par. ing summer's lingering blooms delayed. Dear lovely bowers of innocence and ease, Heats of my youth when every sport could please, How often have I loitered o'er the green Where humble happiness endeared each How often have I paused in every eharm, The sheltered cot, the cultivated farm. The never falling brook, the busy mill, The decent church that topped tbe neighboring hill, Tbe hawthorne bush, with sea's beneath the shade. For talking age and whispering:lover made. Sweet was the sound, when oft at evening's close Up yonder hill the village murmur rose There as I passed with careless steps and Tbe mingling notes came softly^from below. Thess all in sweet confusion sought the shade And filled each pause the nightingale had made."

In these homelike scenes of purity, joy and peaoe, then, are we to seek tbe conditions of that embellishment which shall make the plain and hill alike, abodes of beauty and grace. In such home, the homelike feature will ever be prominent in the commingling of oomfbrt and taste furniture not'too good to be used sunlight not shut out rooms not kept continually on their propriety, so thst you sre made to feel as stiff wbsn you enter, ss the ehsirs you sit in. Let also a bird or two lend their noisy chirp to tbe music of tbe housshold and better still will it bs if four or five children sre preeent to add noise, and even confusion, to the scene, and make the mother's eyes glow with sven a softer light as she catches their prattle.

Further still, let there be an individual family air Ailing all things-ryes, with the fists and sharps of life, without which no music is ever complete and mingling with it all, let tbe hum of industry be heard as the sub bsas in this life anthem tbe housshold is composing and rendsring. Wall may ws sssk for such a horns life,—where love makes music in tbs heart and paints rainbows in the eyes, and where the selfish, material spirit is mads to give wsy to the soul-life which Is the beneficent epirit of the household. Here then, we will place the fountain of beauty. Its spray ahall dance with tbe oolom of the prism blending in perfection together, yet distinct In their separate parts as the eontight of love fells athwart them.

Much of this homelike spirit may bs nid to chsracterise all of our American homes. If it ha not art In the technical MOM, it Is something better tban sit, even tbe creator of art. If it be too plain tor tbe fendfol attire demanded betimes by taste, it is nevertheless that to which tMte will soon learn to minister. And Ik may easily bs oarried Into every part of tbe farm or field, doorjard or green boose, into every tree planting and into every flower plot blossoming with hyacinth and croooss, violet, mignonette or verbena. Every window In mid winter can be made to reflect this teste, Ailing tbe home circle with cheer. Every member Of tbe household, old and young,

can thus becomes gardener whose band shall Impart to the outer surroundings in dooryard and garden, an additional charm and make tbe llnea of nature yield a fairer beauty unseen before The individuality thus also signified will, to the extent it is present, be sure to lend more and more a helpful hand in torn in supplying the wactaof taste. It will leave room for variety as ought always to be done. It will learn to have a delicate perception of the fitting in external things as with inner experiences. It will be neat. It will be orderly. It will be simple. It will be cbsste. It will oome more and more intuitively to disoard that which inars tbe general pleas ing effect of the whole. High, whitewashed board fences, and board fences of all other kinds, which separate houses as if each neighbor were a Paul Pry, or worse still, tbe whole community a set of doorysrd thieves to be shut out at all hazards, it will abolish and forbid as a first class abomination. Upon grounds where wealth and taste combine to enrich and adorn, it will even cause picket fences to give way to a comely iron fence as better enhancing the surrounding beauty of scene. Where possible also for cattle and swine to be kept out of the streets without interfering too much with the- inalienable righte of every free born American citizen, it will, in the cases of many .avenues and streets, do away with all fences and enclosures whatever—thus giving tbe appearance of a beautiful park where individual tastes vie to produce a diversified yet harmonious whole, whose pleasing Impression is ever that of unity in diversity. 8uch open avenues, with linings also of green grass between tbe sidewalk pavement and the graded street where mud is not allowed to swallow up tbe neatly washed and varnished equippage half way or quite to the hubs, may be met with more and more in many of our eastern and western cities, and it well befits the fraternal, generous and yet individual characteristics oi American social and civil life. In tbe old world, exclusiveness prevails and tbe individual is lost in tbe State or in tbe caste systems. Here tbe Individuality characterizing free institutions is in sympathy with the open handedness ef nature herself—especially upon the broad prairie lands of tbe west. And thus this individuality finding also ltd richest expression through the.homelike development described, and ministering to good taste, and in turn ministered unto by good teste, will look out well for tbe streets and alleys, too, of the city, snd in tbe end secure an order where beauty shall reign in place of deformity. Yet. it will let mere show take care of itself. It will be a true educator making shop, store and field alike, pleasant to tbe eye and congenial to the spirit—which is tbe aim of all true art.

Nor is money necessary to such landscape gardening. Nay, too much money may hurt it—as we have seen that plush Is by no means tbe equivalent of taste. One of the pleasantest homes to be found —restftil to tbe spirit and pleasing to the eye, is the room of a certain poor woman, an invalid, who has to depend upon tbe kind ministrations of her Heavenly Father for her support whose spirit is so contented that she fears she hss too much rather than complains of having too little yet whose fingers are so deft that every little picture which comes pasted as a label upon tbe goods she buys or friends love to give her, is made to do service in the domain of tbe beautiful, and whose vinee twining her window, lend additional charm to her plainly furnished, yet neat and ever beautiful room, where sicknees is obanged Into an angel of joy.

Such homes, be they rich or poor, may be made yet more to abound—one with the fountain playing in the yard another with the velvet lawn inviting to repose another with the circular flower bed where tbe blushing rose bestows its modest greeting upon the passer-by another with stately tree* standing guard over the symmetrical house sheltered beneath and still another with winding driveways leading to tbe manaion seated in quiet dignity upon tbe knoll beyond while tbe same homelike air of comfort snd of true sppreciation of life and its amenities pervades them all, shedding its influences of elevating taste sround, and filling tbe soul with a yet higher sense of tbe seemly and the true.« __________
