A French Architect's Idea That Took
Long Time to Mature.
It was in the year 1512 that a
French architect made the sugges
tion that houses in a certain section
of Paris be numbered. The idea,
however, whs a long time taking
root, audi it was not until 1789 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 a tenant's address
would be described merely as, say.
"10U0 ISerlin."
The numbering of houses in Lon
don, us above shown, is of compura
lively recent date. In the later
Stuart times, says Maeaulay, the
houses were not numbered, and
"there would indeed have been little
advantage in numbering them, for
of the coachmen, charmen, 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 a 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.
me nrst instance known ot a
London street in which the houses
were numbered is rrescot 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 London. Baltimore

An Adaptable Prodigal.
A man who lived in Raleigh, N.
C, fell heir to about $15,000 and
immediately spent it in higli living.
A second and a third good sized
sum of money came to him, and
each time he played prodigal son
until he was without funds.
One day Joseplius Daniels met
this man on the street in Raleigh.
The prodigal was in rasrs. looked
hungry and was evidently in very
hard case.
"It seems to me that you must
have a tough time," said Daniels.
"How do you stand it after the
good living, luxuries and fine clothes
you have been accustomed to?"
Sir. Daniels, the man replied
"I'll tell you how I do it: I ha
made arrangements to get alon,
without what I can't get." Satur-
day Evening Post.
JHii Narrow Escape.
A jolly old steamboat capta
with more girth than height w
asked it lie had ever had any very
narrow escapes.
"Yes," he replied, his eyes twin
kling; "once I fell oil my boat
the mouth of Bear creek, and, i
though I'm an expert swimmer,
guess I'd be there now it it hadn
been for my crew. Vou see, tl
water, was just deep enough so"s to
be over my head when I tried
wade out and just shallow enough
he gave his body an explanatory
pat "so that whenever 1 tried to
swim out I dragged bottom."

Mountains-the City--or the Country?

All Cattle Will Have
Pass Examination.
to
According to the state law all
cattle to be exhibited at any fair will
have to pass an examination by the
State Vetrinarian. This is important,
and ad those who contemplate . the
exhibition of cattle at the coming Mor
row county fair should report the
same to the Secretary at once. By
doina this it can be arranged to have
the cattle examined by a vetrinary
and expense saved. No doubt our
residents are beginning tc select their
stock for the exhibits by this time,
and if so it will not inconvenience
you to report it to the secretary who
is doing all he can to save expense to
the exhibiors in this matter of eaxm
inalion. Keep boosting the Fair,
and get in your reports.

Tho Reason.
Ail sorts and conditions of men
have excellent reasons for their po
sition in life. Illustrated Hits tell;
of a tramp who had no illusions
about the cause of his own condi
tion.
Mrs. rineneaitn (at hotel en
trance) No: I have no money to
spare for you. I do not see why an
ablebodied man like you should go
about begging.
Lazy Tramp I s'pose, mum, it's
ler about the same reason that
healthy woman like you boards at a
notel instead of keeping house.
Why Ha Felt Happy.
''Vernon told me this
related the lady with the cold blue
eye, "that he passed the tree where
two years ago he carved your initials
and his own and encircled them
wnn a neart. lie savs he felt so
glad he almost danced for joy!"
an, said trie tall brunette anx
iously, "then he must still love me,
after all! Did he tell you why he
felt so happy?"
188, dear, ue said some men
were cutting the tree down!"
Cities Are Transients.
VThatcitiesas great as Londonhave
once triumphed in existence, had
their victories as great, joy as just
and as unbounded, and with short
sighted presumption promised them
selves immortality? Posterity can
nardly trace the situation of some.
The sorrowful traveler wanders
over the awful ruin of others, and.
as he beholds, he learns wisdom and
feels the transience of every sub
lunary possession. Oliver Gold
