The Sabarbaa Home.
The suburban bouso expresses free
dom from restraint; it is tho home of
children; It means purer air; It means
moro room to movo around In; it mean'
gardens, and it Implies a social life
which yeare of city living mny never
engender. Those arc matters of first
importance, and when to Uicm is ndded
tlio material advantage of lower rents
the superiority of tho suburban bouse
over the city dwelling Is established.
Thcro nro long rides by trolley or
train; there is tho necessity of keeping
early hours; thcro nro difficulties with
limited grocery, butcher and bakery
service; there nro other practical draw
backs. Dut over and beyond theso is
the abiding space of freedom of move
ment, of nirplo air and sunlight, of a
place to llvo In.
And that Is exactly what a bouso is
for. It is neither to look at nor to
servo as an ornament to a highway.
Thnt it should bo ornamental and
should bo viewed with interest are
matters of courso that are extremely
desirable, but nfter all It is tho houso
within that counts; that makes Bub

A Jtarrlou Memoir,
Cardinal Mezxofantl was possessed
of a very wonderful momory, which ho
applied to tho learning of a great num
ber of languages. Lord Byron de
scribed him as "a walking polyglot, a
monster of languages and a Brtarcus
of parts of speech." lie could learn a
new language in tho courso of threo
weeks on occasion so as to bo able to
talk fluently with those whose tonguo
It was. At tho ago of fifty-four Mezxo
fanti know fifty languages. Beforo hla
death ho Is said to have known seven
ty or eighty. Moro of these wore Eu
ropean than most people would Imag
ino to bo tho case. For" Instance, Wal
lachlan, Illyrian, the HoMiaul of the
Alps, Lettish and Lappish figured
among tho twenties in his list, for the
rcmnlndor of which ho went to other
continents. Mezzofunti's system of
learning languages was simple enough
where books wero available. Ho read
tlio grammar through, after which ho
was Its master, for ho ncvor forgot
what he had read. Many of bis lan
guages were learned from prisoners
whom ho visited In their ntUlctlon.
