Mt would' seem that any one financially able to, own jihd live in one of the most' palatial Fifth avenue homes in York would be with it as a place of residence. But it is not so. Mrs. Cornelius "Vanderbilt has sold her Fifth avenue -home, the" largest; individually residential property in Manhattan and said to be worth more than $7,000,000.
Mrs. Vanderbilt is displeased with the encroachment by business buildings on Fifth avenue and when a 'tall building was put up on a. corner opposite her property she, did) not like the long shadow 'it Cast over, her; beautiful house. iSo she determined to sell out. The incident shows that there is no (difference in human nature and that neitner ricn op poor are iorever sta-isfied with what they possess, own just a plain frame house.
The person who lives in a log cabin imagines that it wouuld be the height of happiness to as a home; the-one' who lives in a frame house desires a better residence. And so- it goes on up in derees'until Fifth avenue's most palatial home is reached and even there we find its owner and occupant wanting something different and better.

AN ELECTRIC BRICKLAYER, Machine Lays 1,200 Bricks an Hour- Does 20 Masons' Work. An electt ic bricklaying machine that lays 1,200 bricks an hour, against 500 a day for the average human bricklayer, is the largest ap-ulication of elcetrical energy to industry, says the Ironmonger. Upon rails placed around the out side walls of the building a traveling boom is set, and upon this are the mortar tanks and laying mechanism driven by a three-horsepower motor. The laying wheel rotates, tak-inir two bricks from the carrier, while another wheel spreads mortar as the carrier moves along the boom. At the end of the wall the machine changes direction, and proceeds as before, until it has laid one row of bricks en tirely around the house.
The booni is then raised the thickness of one row of brick and mortar, and triD bcems. Three men are required to supply the electric bricklayer, which is said to do the work of twenty masons, and which has the further advantage of never going on strike or dropping bricks upon passersby. TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN the winter and spring the number of school buildings destroyed by fire has increased alarmingly. Especially in California and Colorado has the 3oss been unpreced-dent. With schools closed, for the summer vacation, now is 'the time for every community to look to the safety of Its scnooi ounaings.

Not a fire occurring during school session: -'fails to bring home this terrible, trutn. Even disregarding the staggering losses entailed in the distruction of school property, let us at least, in the name of humanity, leave nothing undone to protect our children.

But the above answers were made by school pupils in the great and prosperous city of and not by pupils of this state which some people would have you believe has a monopoly on ignorance and illiteracy. Of course, the answers are not representative, but ara extreme instances picked out from many papers.

They' were- prospering, hvinir peace fully and having a good time. 'But there were dissatisfied citizens in Frogland, who a change, not because conditions were bad but because progress seemed to call for something different.
Prayers went up for a new ruler and suddenly one appeared in their miast in the lorm ol a solid, substan tial old stump with Its urotectinsr strength rising up above them. Prayers were again sent to Heaven and behold the frogs were sent another ruler in the shape of a stork, As. he stood in their midst his crafty eye surevyed the scene and he smiled to himself as ha saw what fine picking he was going to have in that land of frogs. The next thing the frogs knew the sharp bill or the stork was gobbling them up one by one. They had secur ed a radical change from their old peaceful and safe government' under a kind ruler.
For evermore they were kept busy dodging the troubles they had brought upon themselves by unwarranted discontent. The mora is that persons seldom know when they sto well The frog story runs closely paral lel to the dissatisfaction and rest lessness manifested in our own na tion have among us those who would cltanire radically our time tested and well established system of government, which Kivee to the mdi vidual all possible freedom in thought action ana ousiness. unhampered by restrictive interference with private activity.
