Sv BETTER THAN WOODEN FENCE Wall Constructed of Loose Stone* Has Many Points of Superiority Harmonizes With Nature. The New England stone wall, as a feature In landscape scenery, is some times spoken of us a deformity yet It cannot be denied that the same linen of wooden fence would mar the beauty of our prospect in a greater degree. On account of the loose manner In which the stones are laid one upon an other, as well as the character of the materials, this wall harmonizes with the rude aspects of nature better than any kind of masonry. It seems to me less of a blemish than a trimmed hedge or any other kind of fence, unless in ornamental grounds. In wild pas tures and lands devoted to rustic la bor, the stone wall is the most pictur esque boundary mark that has yet been invented. A trimmed hedge, ,ln-'8uch places would present to the eye an In tolerable formality. One of the charms of the loose stone .wall is the manifest ease with which it may be. overleaped. It menaces no inf'rlug.emeh|:tf/ou lib erties. WhenUv&ibokfcttj-cfyrfupon the fil^e. of a country subdivided onlv by lottg:'lines of loose stones, and over grown vrtfch vines and shrubbery, we feel no sense of constraint. Fences are deformities of prospect which we are obliged to use and tol erate.

The advice to the citizen to build his own home, if possible, is good. When a man builds for himself and his family he knows precisely what he gets, and he gets the kind of home he likes. It Is better suited to.the needs of himself and his family than Is one that has been constructed for some other family. The cost of such construction may seem high, but good judges of values believe that an in vestment of this kind, made carefully and wisely, is the soundest and most satisfactory in the long run. No Need of Haste. There was a rookie in the same squad I was in who objected strongly to drilling. Fie executed "quads right" and "squads left" in gloomy silence, but when "double time" was given he growled loud enough for the whole squad to hear, "Hey, what's the hurry? We ain't goln' nowhere."

It has always been a mystery to me why the word "blubber" should carry such a disagreeable connotation to mil lions of people, though not one In a million has ever tasted it, writes Vil bjalmur Stefansson in Harper's. I am often asked what seal tneut tastes like and am driven to saying that it tastes like seal meat, for It does not resemble any commonly known type of meat. But neither does mutton resemble any meat known to me. and still mutton is good eating, and so seal. But the fat is much easier to ence. It has a flavor very similar to that of fresh cow's cream, but when boiled it closely resembles the fat of mutton. For that reason Mr. Wllkins, who came from the sheep district of Australia,, was that member of our whole expedition who most readily fell into the eating of the seal fat. In general most men refrain from tasting blubber because it is named blubber, until they become so fat hun gry that they are eventually driven to trying it, and when they try It, to their surprise they invariably find it so de licious that, if not restrained, they overeat and, as is well known, overeat ing any form of fat causes nausea and other distressing symptoms. After one or two experiences of this sort I am now careful never to allow a man to eat all the blubber he wants the first time he tries it, for if he gets sick he is almost certain to blame the seal and not his own gluttony.
