Gror.o's uslIness ana Good Humor.

Meagre as our information is, and doubtful
as we must be concerning much OF Giotto' 5
history, something At least we know of his
person aud character which helps 10 make the
great Florentine more than mere name, and
serves TO endear him to US with the warmth
and reality of living being. Little OF stat
ures and ill-favored Of countenance, Giotto' 5
exterior ugIiness formed striking contrast
TO the beauty of his mind, and was SO evident
that il formed the constant subject of his
friends good humOred jests, and is often al
luded to by contemporaries. Benvenuto da
Imola tells US that the artists children were
as ugly as himself, and Petrarch and Boecac-
clio both mention Giotto as an instance of the
strange fact that the rarest treasures of soul
are frequently hidden in misshappen forms.
But under this repulsive exterior dwelt the
kindliest heart and happiest disposition, and a
mind that, with all its many sided accomplish
ments, was far too large TO admit the least
shade of selfish vanity. None of that morbid
melancholy which frequently clouds the most
gifted natures saddsned the life or darkened
the soul of Giotto; on the contrary, he was
endowed with large share Of practical COM
mon sense, that rare accompaniment of genius,
with shrewd intellect, and excellent power
of reasoning, along with the keenest sense of
humor and most unfailing lightness of heart.
No man loved joke better, or was quick
er at repartee, or more full of innocent fun !;
and countless are the amusing anecdotes,
the mirthful sallies, and witty sayings which
dropped from Giotto's lips and are repeated by
his contemporaries and friends. Every one had
heard the story of the eourtier sent from
Rome by the Pope to inquire into the merits
of the respective artists how he entered
Giotto's shop and asked for specimen of his
drawing, and how Giotto, taking up sheet of
paper and pencil, and setting his arm firmly
against his side, drew perfect circle at one
stroke, and then handed the paper to the
astonished Roman saying, in reply to his ex-
cIamation and question if that was all, " It is
enough and more than enough whence the
saving, 90 Pn tOHo che 70 al Gi0tto," passed
into a common proverb in Tuscany. Charm
ing, again, is the picture left Us by Boccaccio
in the Decamsr0Hs, of the little, ill-fayored
painter trotting along the road to Mugello on
a hired nag, in company with the learned adj
vocate Messer Forese, one showery summer 3
day, both clad in old olOaks and hats. Dor
rowed at some peasants hut, and all bespat-
tered with mud from head to foot. swell,
Giotto," said Messer Forese, could a
stranger, happening to meet US now, ever
guess that you are the greatest painter in the
whole world ?" "Assuredly he would, re-
turned the quiek-witted artist, If, beholding
your worship, he could ever imagine that you
had learned your A. B. C."-Ths Nslc Quar-
tsrEU M1gaziHe.

An Improvea tenement building.

Three New-York capitalists, we are glad TO
observe, are building near the Grand Street
ferry block of tenements six stories in
height, on an improved plan, which has been
successfully introduced in London. The char
acteristie feature of the design is central
tower leading from the sidewalk to the roof.
In this tower are circular stairways inclosed
by fre-proof walls, and from the landing bal
comics with slate flooring give access to the
rooms. The danger from FIRE is thus reduced
TO the minimum. Each family has set of
two or three rooms entirely apart from the
tenements on the same floor, and each apart
ment has direct light and thorough yentila-
ton. Prom the Iiving-room door opens into
an extension which is fitted up as a wash
room, with water-closet in the rear. The
rooms are large, the windows are Of unusual
size, and all the appointments are excellent.
The building is closely modelled after the
three blocks erected BY Mr.. Alfred I. White
in South Brooklyn. 1t may not be in all re-
spects the model home for working people
which our architects we're planning last Win
ter, but it is thoroughly good design, aud,
moreover, it is paying Investment Mr..
White charges his tenants from 1921 to SI.95
a month for tenements Of three or four rooms
very low rentals, and yet his buildings
Weld him a fair return on the cost ofconstruc-
ton. The rentals of the New-Ynrk block are
to be set at high figures, from IS to $40 a
month, and there is every reason TO believe
that it will prove remunerative Investment.
