$4,000 lbs. of cast iron for stairs; 5000 feet
of tile for floors; 5000 teet of plate glass
for windows. The cost of the building,
which was commenced in the spring of
1868, and now being finished, is $3.50, 900.
1t is fire proof throughout, the interior
walls being of brick. and the floor joists of
iron, with corrugated sheet iron between,
filed with concrete, to receive the floors.
As the illustration shows, the building pre-
sents a most commanding appearance.
The building was erected by the compa-
ny for the transaction of its business, and
for this purpose the entire first floor above
the basement is devoted, being thrown into
one room, with only two small offices off
The room is 81 by As feet, and 164 feet
high. In the basement are stores on
Wisconsin street and 8 on Broadway.
The second and third stories are each
thirteen feet high and have twelve large
offices on each floor. From the
fourth story hall occupies the remain
der of the building. 1t is 20 by "a feet
and % feet high. The building is warmed
by steam, and is ventilated Though
out 1t is supplied with water, and drain
age pipe take of all refuse. The interior
is frescoed throughout, and the furni-
ture corresponds with the appearance of the
building outside.
The architecture of the building is very
successful adaptation of themedieval Goth
ie to the modern commercial purposes, and
the effect is both novel and pleasing.

RYrnn,S GraHe.

/ Attention is directed, by a rather srongly-
worded letter addressed to an English pa
per, to Byron's burial place. He was
iaterred in the church of Hucknan Tarkard,
which the writer describes as a miserable,
poverty-stricken village, standing near a
wide sandy tract of unreclaimed ground,
with stunted bushes and blaekened furze,
which Robin Hood would certainly not
recognize as portion of Sherwood Forest.
Byron, his daughter and their ancestors lie
in the vault of the mean but ancient edi-
fee, which dates from the eleventh century.
The only memorial to the poet is plain
white tablet, without ornament of outline
or inscription, placed there by Mrs. Leigh.
She, after all, it seems, of the admirers so
loud-voiced in their praise, was and is the
only one who, out of her scanty means, had
more than words to offer as tribute to his
deathless fame.
The Dean and Chapter of Westminster
steadily refused to permit Lord Byron to
be buried in the Abbey, and the recent dis
cussions in regard to his life are not likely
to make Dean Stanley willing to move III
the matter so late in the day. Lord Byron
has, however, a wealthy sOn-in-law, Lord
Lovelaee, and two very well-to-do grand
children, Lord Wentworth and Lady Ann
Blunt, living, and these might find funds
to put the church in good order; the more
| so that the wife of the first and mother o.
the last also lies buried there.-NeIo YOrh

Where our Wheat txDOrts Go.

A reference to official customs statistics,
says the report of the Agricultural Bureau,
will show that Great Britain and her colon
les constitute our main reliance for a mar
ket of our surplus wheat Few NAV be
aware how small the quantity taken by
other countries actually Is. The amount
of wheat exported in the fiscal year ending
June 81, 1868, was Is, $40, ,899 bushels; of
this but three per cent (461, 1873 bushels)
failed to reach British or colonial territory.
The paucity of these expectations illus
trates the futility of attempting to grow
grain to feed the millions of Europe and
Asia, as follows: France, 260, 7o3 bus; Portu-
gal, SO, 100; Belgium, "a, 726; China, 29,S82;
Venezula %, 364; Peru, 20, 2S9; Holland,
Z, 1000; Philippine Islands, !, ,119; Cuba, $50;
Dutch West Indies, 400; Mexico, bushels
total 461, 1913 bushels The practical de-
ductiOn from these figures is, that there is
but one country in the world to which we
can look for a market for wheat, and to
that only for small portion of her supply,
and that portion at prices competing with
the markets IF the entire globe. The
prices of 1869, as compared with those of
1868, represent reduction in the aggre-
gate sent to Great Britain of eight millions
of dollars. If, as is asserted, the prices of
exports control domestic prices, the reduc-
ton of the value of the home consumption
IS equivalent to far more than the amount
from the entire exports of 1869,
and the farmers would have received more
money if this surplus had been allowed to

A Case of Mistaken Identify,

The Frankfort Yeoman irresponsible for
the following story:
We had the pleasure of greeting yester-
day, our friend, Colonel W. d. Lannom, of
Paris, Tennessee, who spent the day In
our city, it being his first visit to Frankfort
since 1901, when he represented the
counties of Hickman and Fulton IN the
Legislature. His visit recalls an amusing
incident which occurred on the memorable
excursion of the Kentucky Leg
islatu1e to Cincinnati and Co
lumbus at the invitation of the
Ohio Legislature, Just before the war,
while he was member. Among the party
were Gen. Scott Brown, of this county, then
Adiutant General; Clinton McClarty, Clerk
OF the House, and Gen. Geo. B. Hodge,
then a representative of Campbell county.
Now it happens that Lanhom and McClarty
strikingiy resembled each other, while In
features and gneral personal appearance
General Hodge and General Brown
were not unlike. One day,
while being entertained very Hospitality
in Cincinnati, it seems that Lannom and
Brown returned together to the Barnet
House, and entered the parlor arm-in-arm,
feeling very comfortable after their round
of pleasure and sightseeing. Opposite the
door by which they came In there was
large mirror, reaching from the ceiling tc
the floor. AIistaking this for door, ano
seeing their own images, Lannom
remarked, 'See yonder Brown, there
comes Clint, McClarty and George
Hodge" "Yes," says Brown; ''anc
as tight AS bricks" Lets go and take
them off to bed" said Lannom, and they
advanced to carry out their purpose, unit
they were first apprised of their error by
coming in contact with the mirror. Ian
nom says it was remarkable case OF mis-
taken personal identity, and not at all at
tributable, as some might infer, to the pc
culiar influence under which exeursionist
are generally supposed to labor.

The White Mountains in May

A visitor who paid his respects to Mount
Washington rather earlier than Is custom
ary, writes to western paper:
lone of the most signal adventures OF
life full of them has been the ascent OF
Mount Washington in the early part OF
Nav. before the winter fences and water
ways across the carriage road have been
taken down, when there are snow drifts
twenty feet deep to be shoVelled through
by the workmen repairing the road, ano
when the Summit House Is just emerging
from its wintry coyerlet of snow.
"The Top House is entirely free and
clear of snow, but on every hand the i'm
maculate element is still found In large
quantities, and the Summit House is hal
buried up.
.sThe views to be obtained from the
grand old mountain tops are now tal
ahead of any to be had in summer. The
sombre monotony of the panorama of the
mountains stretched out on every hand Il
relieved by the tops of lOftiest mountains
having caps of snow, while the lesser Onei
are as fresh looking as in the summe
time. Then in every gorge and wave

csdes so busy in taking away the SHOWS

So GREAT are the improvements in archi-
lecture in the West that this section is now
no mean rival to the East. AS specimen
of more prominent Western architecture
we give our readers an engraving of the
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany's Building just erected in Milwaukee,

is Italian Gothic, and it was built solely for
the Insurance business 1t fronts on
Broadway and Wisconsin streets, two prom
inent thoroLghfares, sixty feet on the latter
and one hundred feet on the former; is six
stories high, including Mansard roof. 1t is
built of stone, the fine grey limestone laid
in random courses rubble, while the arches,
piers, string courses, etc, are of finely cut
white Athens stone. Supporting the arches
of the first story are double row of polish
ed red Scotch granite pillars; supporting
the spandrels of the front porch entrance
are six similar columns, with carved Ital-
ian capitals. The porch has its jambs
handsomely enriched with carving, as well
as the face of the spandrels. The cor
nices are of galvanized iron, the roofs of
purple slate. In building, u, 900 cubic
feet of stone were required for the foun-
dation; 600, 900 brick were required for
various walls and arches; 10000 cubic
feet of cut stone for dressed work; 5000

A PRODIGY.
A Florida Youth Handles Poisonous
Reptiles with Impunity.
From the Key West Dispatch

For the benefit of the outside world we
have to put on record the fact that in our
island city there lives youth who, in HIM
self, is one among the great phenomena
OF the age. Listen, and be the judge your
self He can handle snakes, scorpions,
centipedes, or what not, with perfect i'm
punity. He makes pets and playfellows
Of the larger kind of rattlesnakes, twisting
them around him, and dsllying with their
fOrked tongues, and their ten or twelve rat
ties ! He actually has carried scorpions in
his bosom, and wasps and hornets In his
sleeves and pockets, without receiv-
ing bite or sting. In the loneliness
of the grove or forest, or in any secluded
place infested with snakes. he can by few
talismanic words call around him any num-
Der of snakes, whom he can charm into
perfect obedience to all his mandates. He
can pick them up and lay them down at
any given place, and at his bidding they
viii remain there until his return, after an
absence sometimes of hours.
He can take rat or a mouse, and so
manipulate it-so put that inexpIcable ty-
rant spell upon it-that it at once becomes
a mute suppliant for favor, is quiescent,
and may be tumbled about at pleasure.
The young magician AYERS that this mirac-
ulous power is given him by spirits, ,-wheth-
er good or evil he knows not
We could relate many incidents in this
connection illustrative OF our little friends
necromantie faculty of subduing the reptile
creation; but the foregoing must suffice.
