. Mosaic Portrait OF Garfield.


A remarkable portrait of the late
American president has Just been ex.
ecuted by Messrs. Sslviati and Burke,
of Regent street, the we'll known or.
lists In Mosaic and Venetian glass
The portrait, which Ia an undeniably
good likeness, Is oval In form, with
dimensions Of about 3 feet by % feet.
1t contains in all, about 5000 tesserm,
the largest Of which IL perhaps half an
inch square, while the smallest which
have been used for the treatment OF
the hair and beard, cannot be more
than one.tenth Of an Inch In diameter.
It should be mentioned that In all
MOSAIC work the Size of the tessere ID
determined by the distance at which
the picture is intended to be
seen. In the vast spaces Of st. Marks,
this portrait Of General Garfield
would be wholly lost and ineffective,
In the smaller compass of q modern
chamber mosaic from St. Marks
would seem coarse and unrefined In
color and texture. Visitors to West.
minister abbey will notice that In the
mosaic also by, Messrs. Savisti-
over the altar, which, though seer
from a distance, is approached and
spproachsble, this technical canon
has resulted In the use of medium.
sized tesser@. In the comparatively
far. off mosaics Of st. Paul's much
larger indivlduallpieces of color have
bson employed. The portrait Of
General Garfield Is q gift to the Amer
lean nation. and will be placed In tn,
capitol at Washington, side by side
with the mosaic likeness of Presiden'
Lincoln, which was presented b,
Messrs. Salviati some years ago. Tn,
gift has been officially accepted by tn,
American government.

CONGRESS proposes, but the lobby

made slight reductions In the enor.
nous duties on iron, Is being violent.
~ opposed In the house by the repre-.
uentatives Of the Iron and steel inter-
ests, and there seems 10 be no hope

Pennsylvania Is flooding members
with petitions and circumstances, and
pictures Of closed mills and blown out
furnaces are held up to the gaze of rep.
reservations who hesitate to maintain
the robbers' schedule of exorbitant
rates on these articles. The iron In.
dustrv Is suffering heavily, but II Is
suffering not from approximations of a
reduced tariff. Its present depression
Is due to overproduotion and an alb
normal increase In the capacity
for manufacture. This Is especially
the case with mills for the production
of railroad iron. Profits have been
30 enormous that two mills have been
erected, where one would have beer
sufficient for all the demands of the
trade, and now that the railroad con
struction L. being c~urtailed failures

WHILE the complaints Of hard times
oomos from n class Of our popula-
ton, another class, the working men
and the working women seem to be
saving money at q rate which offers q
strong argument against the reports Of
lack Of employment, and which al the
same time speaks we'll for the thrift of
our wages earning class.
In New York state the deposits of
the saving banks have Increased over
twenty four millions during the past
year, fourteen millions of which
amount is credited to New York city
alone. In Massachusetts an increase
OF eleven millions ID noted In the do.
posits Of savings banks. A four
ffths Of the depositsors Of Eastern
savings banks are working men
and workingwomen the increase Of
the accumulated capital of wage earn.
ers In these two states may safely be
put down at $35. 600, 900. The intro
duction Of savings banks In the United
States took place In 1916, when the
Legislature of Massachusetts granted
q charter to an institution of thi,
class In Boston. Since that time they
have multiplied In every portion Of
the country and have become pecu'
liarly the repositories of the working
classes. At the present time between
two and three millions Of people, ths
larger portion of whom are dependent
upon their wages for support, ar,
counted as ~depositors in the saving
banks of this country, and their de
posits reach the enormous total of min,
hundred millions of dollars.
These savings Of the poor represent
In nearly every instance q thrift ant
economy which has accumulated capi
tai at the expense of indulgence. Ii
this n they have fortified them
selves against want In q time Of adver
silly, and have laid the foundation o
. capital which, by and by, will fin,
its use In some Of the numerous chan
