Men Who Win Women.

God has so made the sexes that wo-
men, like children, cling to men-lean
upon them as though they were supe-
rior in mind and body. They make
them the suns of their systems, and
their children reyolve around them.
Men are gods, if they but knew it, and
women burn incense at their shrines.
Women, therefore, who have good
minds and pure hearts want men to
lean upon. Think of their reverence
ing a liar, drunkard or libertine. If
a man would have a woman to do him
homage, he must be manly in every
sense; a true gentleman, not after the
Chesterfield school, but polite, because
his heart is full of kindness to all who
treats her with respect, even Difference,
because she is woman; who never
condescends to say silly things to her :,
who brings her to his level, if his above ;
who is never over anxious to please but
always anxious to do right; who has no
time to be fri volous with her. Always
dignitied in speech and act; who never
spends too much upon her, never yields
to temptation, even il she puts j. in his
way; who is ambitious to make his
mark in the world, whether she encour-
ages him or not, who is not over care
full about dress, always keeping his
place of the man, the head, and never
loosing it. Such department, with no.
BILE principles, a good mind, energy and
industry, will win any woman in the
world who Is worth winning.

A New Plan for Strengthening
Buildings.

Plan for strengthening buildings
which certainly presents some new and
important facts in regard to the arch
iteeture and safety of cities has been
introduced in Boston by Mr.. ID. L.
Emerson, California architect. Itpro-
vides for the insertion of iron uprights
an inch in thickness, and one-third as
wide as the wall is thick, at intervals
of ten feet, every front and side wall,
with cross bars holding the four walls
together and running through the floors,
strap iron being used at intervals, and
bound in with bricks. By these means
a building is perfectly Indestructible
by the ordinary means by fires and
earthquakes, the walls being strength
ened and prevented from cracking by
heat. 1t is the opinion of two eminent
architects, given after an examinations
of Mr.. Emerson's model, that if the
stores in the burnt district had been con-
structed in accordance with the plan
now brought forward, that at least nine
tenth of the walls would now have been
standing. Each part of a building be-
ing bound to the other part, and each
corner to the other corner, by means of
malleable iron wire and nuts, the resis-
tance as the entire structure is increas-
ed by two hundred tons, and intense
heat cannot buldge the walls. To iron
building, especially, this improvement
is valuable. As above stated, the plan
is the invention of Mr.. Emerson and
was brought out some four years ago
when committee appointed in San
Francisco offered a premium of $3.50 in
gold for the purpose of ascertaining
the best methods of Strengthening brick
buildings, as a precaution againt earth
quakes. Unfortunately, the chairman
of the committee died before the award
was made, and all the plans were given
over to the local architects for their frl-
ture consideration. Mr.. .Emerson's meth
od has received the unqualified approv-
al of Californian architects and build
erS.
