KnlRbt'H Je!"rp, tie livcred Sunday evening, let). 28 lArcliitccture, like every other art or Industry of man, lias been cultivated by necessity growing up by Mow de crees from rude beginnings to IIiomj grades of development wiiero lavish wealth and cultivated taste add to the dull outlines of utility the delicate and pleasing variations of ornament. J'ho first men perhaps sought shelter under trees. Then they pulled oil' tho boughs itud made rude Ixjoths or tabernacles, or constructed bark lodges. Thatching of leaves or straw, or rudely woven mats, gradually came in to improve these imperfect shelters. Natural caves were also chosen as places of abode. These fcuggested artificial excavations in the Jiili-sldes, partially roofed over the jront. TIicn) soon gave place to mud huts, and led to tho invention of sun dried bricks, and finally tho neatly moulded lire brick came along in tho natural order of development. In re gions where Hit stones abounded it Will IMtUinilopiIOUlUHiiiiwiuuu win, witli a Juw sticks for props and rafters. Itw.ih natural toknocKott the rough cor- nors mid Invent various means for breaking these ston.ss into harmonious mid convenient shapes. So by hIow de grees implements were invented, and .skill anil taste were acquired which re wilted in the delicate rellnement and Leautyol Uieeian architecture. Among the nomadic tribes the cloth tent was ni'ccssirily the limit ofde clopmcnt. Jiil.ewise in those north ern regions where snow and ice are tho jiutur.il building materials, there were insuperable haulers toarchitecturai de velopment beyond bare necessity. .So tho Icelander and tho Arab of unlay, dwell, the ono in his ice liutuud tie oilier in his tent, alter the maimer .oi. remote ancestors. Architecture was the llrnt line ai t." The lirst pictures' Were painted lur ornament on walls ot build ings. Tho oldest pictures extant arc tho-o In the Egyptian tombs. No doubt carving and statuary had' a himilar origin. TlieUiecian architecture was. the most lelliud and pure the world lias oyer eoon. liven in its luins it Hliuiiies those who have sought toeiiual it. Tho Human was more extravagant hut less tasteful, its. only advantage being in the Use of the urcii. lodeiu nations aie niero copyists, and this alone leads to degeneracy. No copy was everan improvement on the original. 1'or some reason that is too deep lor mo the "Uothio" stylo has been adopted in our modern church building. Its chief advantage i.s that JtJude.su multitude ol iiiLOiiveniences mid dofomiitics under an immense pitch of toot. The hunied and busy Jito of western nations, frequent migra tions, the lniMuie oi races, and tho jnixture of .styles, huvo all tended to degeneracy in tho building art and to liinder tho development ot original taste. Hut wo can console ourselves with thu thought thai ten ttioufiiiml lit tle wooden churches scatteicd over a continent better .servo the leal intor cots of hiikuutiity than would tho Ath.6 nlim J'artlienon orthuUrai.il 'Temple ot the JCpliesiiius. In Aiuoiliu wood is more used lor building than in any other country. Our houses aro mostly sham-, lasting only hall a generation, Loftily consli ucted, poorly veiililutu.il. Tlio JCgyiitiatis lour ttiou.sand yeais ago ventilated their tombs, and did it wei(. Wo Aineiicans do not know how to v6ntilate our dwellings! Yet a greater proportion of Americans build lind own Iioiisusiliaii of any other people. And lis a rule we are less ntiaciied to our places than most other people, inoro pronu to sell out and move, and les in clined to cry when our dwellings aro huriieil, if ihey hapjien to lie insured lor jill they are worth, lu chiliucn thu building instinct he gins to develop e.uJy. The books on the tublo mo piled into imaginary palaces, the A II 0 blocks' are mutt into tower.-, and the nibhMi in tho luck yaul Is thiown about in lontu.sion by tai-y little hands in search ol niateri.it Jor "play Iioum'." . . ,, 1 bcllove voiinir nerinlo Mioiihl think euily and earnestly ol nouses and iwni't Jortlienisiilves.
