New York and its Iron Buildings.

Roger Riordan contributes 20 the
March Century an illustrated paper on
1.-The Architectural League OF New
I ork, which is a society of youno
architects. From a description of one
Of their meetings we CLEAN the follow
ing:
In spite of its advantages of site and
surroundings, New York is an ugly CITY.
Not ugly, merely, but architecturally
despicable. 1t is only in such weather
as would make wigwam or ruined
barn seem desirable shelter, that our
dimsy buildings can command respect.
Our architectural shortcomings, how
ever runimportant they may appear to the
average layman, are beginning to dis
tress the younger breed of our archi-
tects. Many of them have been to
Europe, and having seen the master
pieces of their art, are not content to
settle down to designing furniture or
counting bricks for the rest of their
lives, but want to do something worthy
OF comparison with the average of the
work of former times. Others have
been about at home ransacking the
older towns of New England, and Mary
land, and Virginia, for relics of colonial
buildings, and are sure that the beaded
ceiling beams, hand-wrought sashes,
and tiled fire-places of pre-Revolution-
ary times are good things in their way
and worthy of being reverently pirated
They all deem it essential to convert the
public from its prediction for evil
ways of building, and as a necessary
preliminary to clear up their own ideas
about the better way. This is the cause
that the Architectural League has at
heart.
One of these veterans of the profession
now moves toward the blackboard A
good dome-like top story to head, dis
orderly iron-gray hair; thick eyebrows,
sharp eyes; cheeks massing with neck,
quick and peremptory manner-per-
haps some of my readers may recognize
him as difficult person to deal with,
and stickler for the rights of his art.
The dozen or more drawings are
brought to him for criticism.
In conclusion he recapitulates the
faults and dangers of iron construction.
Iron is liable to rust, costs much yearly
for paint, and is affected byvibration to
an extent that is as destructive as the
dry-rot in timber. 1t expands and con-
tracts with every change of temperature,
making cracks and fractures unavoid-
able when other material is used in con-
nection with it; and it is the occasion of
peculiar dangers in case OF fire. Lastly,
its untitness for receiving fine form of
any kind, large or small, makes the pros
pect of an iron architecture ever aris-
ing a very small one.
The cheers with which this conclusion
is received show that iron has nothing
to hope for from the young architects
present.

Dolorous Literature.

Most OF the poetry manufactured IN
the present day is written by women. A
marked feature of almost all oft gloom
and low-spirited Woe There is nothing
cheerful about it. Women never pen a
joyous carol or a merry lay. They con-
fine themselves to raking up the cold
ashes of dismal past, and narrowing
our feelings with dolorous prophecies
regarding joyless and insolvent future.
This would lead one to believe that the
average poetess is bilious, but such is
not the case. We have known some
women who were the light of their re-
speetive households, the life of the social
circle; women who would darn socks
with hilarity, and construct rag car
pet with exultant glee; women whose
buoyant spirits was as sunshine in their
homes-and YET, these same women,
when they sat down with pen in hand.
and when the poetry began to boil up
inside them, would become unhappy and
filled with gnawing sorrow, bitter grief,
and brand of misery that would regis
ter away up above proof.
The first thing poetess, who thinks
she understands her business, does, is
to 60 back into the storeroom of her
memory and resurrect some corrOding
care or effete heartache that should have
been thrown out into the alley long ago.
She ponders over this until gloomy
anguish takes possession of her, her
heart begins to bleed, and severe pangs
of unhappiness run down into the hol-
lows of her legs. Her whole being be-
comes permeated with mournful sad
ness, and an army-sized wall begins
struggling to get out of her. Then she
is ready for business, and the poetry be-
gins to flow in short meter lamentations
about how cold and drear everything is
and how much she pines for solitude
and death; and as she warns to her
work she will probably have something
to say about ''faded flowers ''leafess
boughs, y .'blasted hopes" and "a hol-
low world"
There is too much of this unshed-tear
style of poetry going around. We know
that the world is hollow and that it is
fieeting show, and that women are tickle
and that all men are liars, and that life
is but weary interlude, and that death
will be a relief Especially from this
class of poetry, but Job and David and
Solomon told us all that long ago, and
we protest against these time-worn and
dismal truisms being repeated every
hour and thrust on us with all their de-
fective rhyme, halting rhythm, and no
reason at all.
Let there be revolution in this mat
ter, and the world will be all the better
for it. Let us have something cheerful,
some poetry with hope, and joy, and
gladness in it. Although the rose has
thorns; don't grieye over that, but rath-
er remember that it has beauty and a
sweet odor. Danish the clouds, sweep
out the dead autumn leaves, and give us
sunshine and budding flowers. Tegas

Charles Reade and Woman.

Regarding woman Charles Reade said
recently in an interview in the Philadel-
phia Press: She is just like a man, Ike
ourselves, but with certain tendencies
we call womanly. Like ourselves she
ardently desires love. She knows it is
the best, absolutely the best thing the
world has to give; that we are all born
for love, man and woman alike; that to
lack this consummate and supreme bless
ing is to lose the best part of life. She
desires above all things to be wooed,
and is forbidden to WOO on her own ac-
count. She conceals her own thoughts,
yet from her experience in hiding she is
quick at reading the thoughts of others.
She is satisfied with nothing less than
she herself gives, which is all herself
Her reserve leads her, in the lower
natures, to deceit and falsehood. Her
devotion, which is part of her nature,
leads her also in the lower natures to
suspicion and jealousy. She is always
in the house, therefore her mind is apt
to run in narrow grooves. The prodi-
gality and watchfulness of men are
things beyond her understanding or
patience. She is unversed in affairs, and
therefore understands nothing of COM
promise. She is generally i'll educated,
and therefore is incapable of forming
judgment, hence she is carried away by
every word of doctrine; as, for instance,
in matters ecclesiastical. Knowing moth
ing of the early church or its history,
she believes the poor little ritualist
curate, who knows, indeed, no more
than herself; or on art, where for want
of a standard she is led astray by every
fad and fashion Of the day and.worships
sad-faced fatnesses with rapture: or in
dress, where her taste being uneulti-
waited, she puts on whatever is most
hideous and unbecoming, providing it is
worn by everybody else. This is the
womaE present to my readers. She is
not, at all events, insipid-no real
women are. If she is artificial, the real
woman shows from underneath. What
/ love most is the woman whom fashion
has not spoiled; the true feminine
woman, with her natural passion, her
jealousy, her devotion, her love of adj
miration, her fidelity, her righteous
wrath, hermaternal ferocity, her narrow
faith, her shrewdness-even Der audae-
ity of falsehood, when that can serve
her purpose, and finally her self-abne-
CATION. That's the woman-that's the
woman believe in. That is the crea-
ture that is human. She is nature :

Hash and sparkle one sees in every pair
OF glriish eyes, for the Young women
here get the charms they boast of by
skating side by side with their brothers,
racing on snowshoes with the men, to-
bogganing, wherever toborganing can
be practiced, walking like Indians, and
running like a deer. A group of them
is OF as many bright colors as bunch
OF garden flowers, and one gets the i'm
preston that they dress loudly, but this
comes of che habit they have of tying a
brlght-colored worsted comforter over

or stood on the hilltops half-hours at a

girls dress, said New York woman
to her husband. First, they start with
flannel from head to foot-and such
flannel! Why, it's an eighth of an inch
thick. Then they 90 on like other
women, except that they put on more
skirts, and usually quilted one that is
as warm as wood fire. Then they put
on a dress, and over that chamois
Jacket that fits like shoe in the mud.
Then they put ribbed woolen stockings
over their stockings, and artics over
their shoes. They don't care any more
about the looks of their feet than the St.
Louis women do. Then they put on
knit wrlsters, then gloves, then a fur
cap, and finally coil of worsted COM
forters. When they are dressed, if they
are hurled at a speed of mile minute
from toboggan they are unhurt If
they fall through the ice, they are not
hurt If the thermometer drops to Is

Stealing a Minister"

We quote the closing sentences from
au editorial, entitled Stealing Minis
ter" in The Century for March.
The church that calls settled minis
ter is said to be guilty of an act pre-
cisely like that of the woman who hires
your cook out of your kitchen. But if
there is any wrong in this case, it is in
the fact that your cook is ignorant and
easily imposed upon; that the woman
who has coaxed her away offers her no
better place, and thus Injuries you with
out benefiting your servant. If the
servant is able to Judge for herself, and
knows that she is improving her condi-
ton by the change, what right have you
to stand in the way of her going, or to
complain of another for giving her
what you withheld? This kind of outcry
is never heard concerning any class of
employees save those who are assumed
to be unable to choose wisely for them
selves. The cashier of bank, the su-
perintendent of a railroad, is called
from one place to another, and nobody
ever thinks of questioning his right to
go, or the right of another employer to
offer him employment. There seems

should not be credited with as much
judgment, and allowed as much liberty,
as is granted to a bank cashier or
railroad superintendent.
There seems. then, to be no other
method for church to pursue, if it
wishes to keep its minister, than that
which every employer must pursue
who wishes to retain a valued servant.
The church must keep its part of the
contract. must see that its minister is not
overworked, must cooperate with him
in all possible ways, and must show
him that his labors are appreciated and
that his welfare is fairly considered. If,
after the church has done all this, the
minister goes away, common sense will
bring the church to one of two conclu-
sions: it win either bow to the providen-
tial decree that has removed faithful
teacher, or it will thank God that it is

Cheap Car Pare.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Times writes from Florence. Italy:
In Milan the fare in both cars and om-
nibuses is 2 cents, and they make money
at that.
In Genoa the car fare is 4 cents, but
the work is much heavier.
Here in Florence the cars charge 4
cents and the omnibuses cents.
They all have conductors as well as
drivers, and the horses are very good
and in excellent condition. From what
/ can learn, horse feed is dearer here
than in America.
OF course their profits are not so large
as with you, where 5 and cents are
charged. but they are very flourishing.
But this is benighted old country,
with King and all that, and is not bles-
sed with bosses or rings.
In Geneva, Switzerland, the car fare
is 2 cents and the company is very pros
