A French Architect's Idea That Took a
Long Time to Mature.
It vi at- iii the war 15 12 that a
French architect made the sugges
tion that houses in a certain section
of I'uris he tiiiinhercd. The idea,
however, was a long lime taking
root, and it was not until 1?8! that
the system became general, writes
a London correspondent.
In Berlin about a decade later an
eccentric method of numbering the
houses was adopted. They number
ed them without reference to the
streets. Thus n tenants address
would be described merely as, say,
"1000 Berlin."
The numbering of houses in Lon
don, as above shown, is of compara
tively recent date. In the later
Stuart times, says . Miicnuluv, the
houses were riot numbered, and
"there would indeed have been little
advantage in numbering them, for
of the coachmen, channel), porters
and errand boys of London a very
small proportion could read. It
was necessary to use marks which
the most ignorant could understand.
The shops were therefore distin
guished by painted or sculptured
signs, which gave very gay and
grotesque aspect to the streets."
Similar methods were adopted
for identification of private houses.
In Lincoln's Inn Fields, for exam
ple, it seems to have been usual for
the houses to be distinguished by
ornamentation on the gate posts.
The first instance known of a
London street in which the houses
were numbered is Prescot street,
Goodman's Fields, but the practice
did not spread far before the year
1704, when it received a great im
petus, and it soon after became well
established in Loudon. Baltimore

One of the advantages of electric lighting is its flex
ibility. You can have as much or as little illumination
as you need and have the lamp just where you want
it - on ceiling, wall or table.
Although housewiring is now done without litter or
disturbance to the household, one of the best times to
make the installation is during the fall housecleaning.
Prepare for the winter months, not only with clean
rooms and fresh paint and wall paper, but with clean

Watch Talk
IF it has been longer than eighteen months since
you have had your watch cleandd and oiled, in all
probability you are abusing it.
Ordinary machinery, when in constant use, is oiled
several times daily, while a watch is often allowed to
go without any attention.
DON'T subject your watch to such misuse. If you do you may find
yourself in possession of a useless time keeper.
