Mrs. Lewis has an exceedingly pleasant voice and manner, and her paper had a clever individuality seldom found in critical essays, Through her interpretations one followed Howells in his carcer from reporter to novelist Wwith anxious interest. His painstaking mauner of carcfully feeling his way from ono department of literature to another before making his changes was skillfully shown from his published works.

The play is repre- Members Dolf Hats Only When They Speak. One of the first peculiaritics to strike a visitor to the House of Commons, says Chambers’ Journal, is the freedom which permits members to keep on their hats during the progress of public business. But this liberty has its limits. A mem- ber may not wear his hat as he enters or leuves the house, or when he stands at the bar, although he may put it on as soon as he takes his seat. [ a colleague engages in conversation with him he un- covers his head. and so must he, of course, when hoe arises to address the house. Another requirement is that a member must only make a specch from one of the accustomed seats, never from the entrance, the bar or the gangway. OThe same rule is observed when he rises to order in the course of debate, but if he raises a point or order concern- ing a division which has already been called he must keep his seat and speak with his hat on. Even the speaker in such cases does not rise when he inter poses with the rulings, so that the pro- ceedings assume a somewhat easy goi conversational character.

NEW YORK AND PHILADELPHIA COMPA ED Density of Population Averted and the Pab- 1o Health Pr of the World's Congress—The Repeal Bill Stelvod - National Statistic oted—Prograu The rapid development of building and loan assoctations within recent ye is amazing. Within less than a score of years they have grown from an insignificant num- ber to a total of 7,000 in the United States, collecting and disbursing annually a sum variously estimated at from §200.000,00 to £300,000,000. This vast sum represents the suvings of peopleof moderate means invested with a view of home getting The benefits derivable from these associa tions are not imaginary. They are real, substantial and visible, Individuals are taught habits of industry and frugalit which dircetly to the prosperity of community. But the community gains even more substantially. In encouraging and facilitat- ing the acquirement of homes the building: loan socitty contributes to the stability, unity and pride of u community. Livery nome owner is an active force in all move- ments caleulated to advance the comimon weal, He isa fixture in the community. He quires a financial interest in_its welfare which makes nim alert and vigilant in all that concerns its progress and prosperity. A Sample City. Philadelphia is an illustration of the bene- fits flowing from the practical operation of building-loan principles. 1t is estimated that #0,000 workingmen have thus been en abled to build Ggmes in that city, Seven thousand homes were built in 1891 and 8,000 in 1802, These splendid results ave rendered more impressive when contrasted with the condition of the working classes in New York Mr. Erastus Wiman, adistinguished writer on economic topics, presents in_the North Amer teview figures showing the rela tive conditions of the people of both cities in the matter of homes. OF all the cities on the continent, says Mr. Wiman, New York is the most exaggerated specimen of failure in the matter of homes for the classon whom, to a greater degree than any other, its prosperity depends. A recent census port of New York shows tnat there nearly four families (3.52) for every house in the metropolis. When it is recalled that there are thousands of beautiful homes in New York oceupiced by one family only, it will be realized to what extent in other parts of thecity crowding occurs, when to ac- commodate an average of new-ly four fam ilies to cach house the remaining houses only arc available. Comparing the condition of New York with Philadelphia the_differ. ence is most mavked, as in Philadelphia the average number of families to cach house is one family and one-tenth. In New York the average for cach house is nincteen people, in Philadelphia it is not six. The death rate tells the rest. In New York it is twenty-eight in every 1.000; in Philadelphia twenty-two. While New York has nineteen people to each house, London has only seven, with a death rate 3 per cent lower than New York Crowding Checked, The disposition toward density of popula- tion, Mr. Wiman points out is not contined to New York, hence the encouragement of home building is an economic and patriotic movement. In his opinion this can best be done by fostering building-loan associations. These are simply societics for saving, with the aceumulations sacredly dedicated to the payment for homes solely for members of the society. Any one who can save £1.50 a monch is cligible for membershin. Any group, how- ever insignificant or remote, can form society. The only thing necessary is a trusty . who shall safely hold the combinei monthly savingsof the members until enough 15 aceumalated to build a home. Then the accumulations are loancd to one of the mem- bers, to be paid out, not to the member, but to the builder of the house as it progresses, or in one sum to the owner of the house if it is completed and ready for transfer to, the member. The society takes a_mortgage for the amount advanced, which mortgage will be liquidated by the member paying up his monthly installments for a given period, which generally averages nine years, The member enters into possession. pays a little more than rent, while his payments are toward a purchase and not toward rent. At the end of nine years, if he were u tenaot he would have a bundle of landlord's receipts, and be no better off than at the start. If he is & purchuser. and_every month pays his dues and interest, at the end of nine years he has a deed, free and clear, to his own home. The Iosurance Plan. Mr, Wiman urges the general adoption of the insurance future by which the associa- tionas well s the family is protected in event of the death of the borrower. The payments for this insurance being divided into monthly sums are very small, and are made simultancously with the principal and interest. As the lustallments reduce the debt on the home, the insurance risk equally diminishes, and the cost of it declincs, so that, toward the end, it is almost infini- tesimal. Meantime the' safety obtained im- proves the security of the loan'to the society, and, above all, makes the passession of the home certain to the family. If the bread- winner lives he pays by his installments for it; if Nhedies it is paid for by the insurance company, so, whether living or dyiug, the home is sccure Only about every fifth individual is of an economical turn of mind;: it is important to cultivate the virtue of thrift in the oth four. In order to do so the facility afforded by the building-loan associavions presents itself and its dicipline of rezulavity by de- manding a monthly contribution 1o i1s cof- fers. ‘Ihis periodicity has a great force, and as soon as the expenditures of any consider. able number in & community, m a workshop, in a church, in & soc in an organiz tion of any kind, arc so_arranged as to allow ntributions toward these , it will be seen that the rivuiets soon become rivers, and_rivers soon become oceans in amount and influence. s Through.

The practice is to limit pay ments to withdrawing sharcholders to one half the monthly receipts, the remainder to be loaned There is no provision for cmergencies, nor are directors given sufficient latitude to provide for = spe cific obligations, such as the nia turity of shares.
