The New Styles of Architecture and House
Decoration. sE-E
1t has not been many years since the
house had to be finished in certain
kind of grand style or it was mere
nonentity. A great change has come,
and now house NAV be built with a
few thousand dollars, or even for a
thousand dollars. that will be as beau
tiful as good, as the reasonable heart
can wish. Beauty has at last escaped
the service of the rich. and has entered
into kind of conspiracy for the pur-
pose of making a cottage surpass u
palace. Not long since two friends who
had got along into mature years drove
leisurely out toward the great jackson
Park of Chicago, and passed a decided
palace, and soon after large wooden
cottage. In cost the palace far sur
passed the residence made of wood, but
the two men looked long and justly as
possible at the two homes, and after
viewing the two in all the lights OF
which they knew anything, they voted
in favor OF the cottage, its colors SO
blended, its proportions were so per-
feet. its architecture was so tull of va
riety and unity, the porches were so
ample, the ornaments so full of delicate
Judgment that it bore the prize away
from its costly competitor.
The world is just now taking q turn
toward those who are not sick. While
many are still suffering from the alb
sence of employment, or else from poor
pay for hard work, yet the planet has
become a little weary of turning over

Description of One of the Most Wonder
full Statues In the World.
The sphinx is not often thought of in
connection with statuary, but it is one
of the most wonderful statues in the
world, whether considered with regard
to its size, the workmanship displayed,
or the skill required in moving so inn
mense mass of stone. 1t is believed
to be contemporary with the Pyramids,
but for ages the purpose of its erection
has been lost The shifting sands of
the desert have buried it almost to the
chin. but several attempts at great
labor and expense have been made to
uncover enough of it to make accurate
measurements. None of these have
been L entirely successful, since the
desert winds blow back the sand al
most as fast as it is taken out; but
enough has been done to approximate
the dimensions of this enormous
statue. The head is twenty-eight feet
and six in ches from the top to the chin,
while from the top of the head to the
pedestal on which the body rests is
ninety feet. The body is that of q
crouching lion, and is one hundred and
forty-six feet long. while the paws pro-
ject in front of the head nearly fifty
feet. The breadth of the shoulders is
thirty-six feet, and, solar as has yet been
discerned, the entire statue is of one
block. An enterprising investigator
bored an experimental hole in one Of
the shoulders to depth of twenty
seven feet, but found solid stone with
out q seam. How the moss was ever
carved, or, being carved, how it was

"HAIL, COLUMBIA"

Mr.. McMaster's Account of the Origin of
the National Song of 1898.
Thousands of men who despised John
Adams. who detested the Federalists,
who Ioathed the influence Great Britain
had in Federal affairs, now turned to
support the Government with vigor.
Their hearts were still warm toward
France. But they could not suffer even
SO old and dear an ally to heap up in
suit on their native land. Such an out
burst OF patr otism had never before
been seen. 1t began at Philadelphia
and spread thence as fast as the post
riders could carry the news. Night
after night at the theater, pit, boxes
and gallery joined in one mighty shout
for the PRESIDENTS March," for ~ an
kee Doodle" or for the stirring music
of ..Stony Point" While the airs were
being played the widest excitement
prevailed. The audience rose to their
feet, stood upon the seats, waved hats
and walkng-sticks, sang. cheered, and,
when the piece was finished, demanded
that it should be given over and over
again. Then band of hardy republic
cans in some parts of the gallery would
. call for t.Ca ira or the ..Marseilla Sc"
hymn, till their cries Were drowned
amid storm of Kisses and groans
Not to be outdone, the republicans
thereupon bribed the music ans to play
no Federal tunes. The first night they
refused a storm of Indignation was
raised in the theater, and they gave
way. The next night they stood
firm. and Were well pelted for
the + pains. The Federalsts were
highly indignant. The theater. said
they, more than any otherplace brings
men of all classes together. The man
ayers should. therefore,, pay some heed
to public feeling in the selection of the
music. The present is no time to CRATE
the public ear with those Gallo muir
der-shouts, Ca ira and the Car
mognolen The enthusiastic clamor
with which the Presidents March"
had been called for, and the deafening
applause with which it had been greet
- ed. should have taught them this. Is
it the purpose of theater company to
please or to insult the public? The ac-
ton of pelting the fiddler and smashing
the fiddle is greatly to be condemned.
The firm and dignitied conduct of leav-
ing the theater and keeping away till
the managers solemnly promise that
the Presidents March" shall be the
first tune played in the house is much
to be preferred.
The theater. the Republicans protest
ed. was public house. and the man.
ayers would do well to keep this in
mind. If, however. they were deter
mined to make it the resort of the
British faction. then let them look to
that faction for support. Every earnest
: Republican and truepatriot would keep
away. This, was the rejoinder, is
i greatly to be wished. Men of sense
long for the time when the Jacobins
and their murder shouts shall be driven
from every decent resort. Let them
desert the theater and with the shilling
thus saved pay some of their old debts.
While the factions wrangled the ben
eft night of favorite actor drew near.
No man knew better than he how to
proht by the popular will. and at nc
time in the whole course OF his LIE mao
SO fine chance of profiting by the
popular will been offered him. Foil

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
The LILLE MAN.

Two wee ones in the rosy throng /
The village street adjoining.
Close, hand in hand, they trudged along
To school, nor missed a morning.
The others smiled to see them there
That lassie and her brother
And called the prim, ofd-fashioned pair
The father and the mother"
He helped her DER the crossings wide;
Her books and slate he carried;
And when the school was out, with pride
To take her hons he tarried.
All! but the sight to me was dear,
So trusting, she, so tenderl
He was her little cavalier,
Her watchful, brave defender.
"My little man." said, one day,
"Who is the best and sweetest, :.
The incest girl in school? And. pray,
Who do you think the neatest?"
Upon the wee one at his side
He smiled. and fondly kissed her:
Then answered, with a flush of pride:
''Oh, you must mean my sister."

A Machine for Manufacturing MoneA

A San franciscan has an ingenious
machine for the manufacture of money.
It consists of a small box entirely COM
posed of metal Beneath the cover is q
plate of brass with hole sunk in il
large enough to. hold SIS gold piece.
A funnel to all appearances leads to
this hole or die, and into it metal may
be poured so as to complete the illusion.
When the cover is shut down it presses
the funnel to the back part of the box,
and away from the hole in which the
S5 piece afterward appears. In the CEN
ter of the box is spring arrangement
entirely concealed frd.G sight by the
brass plate, and in it can be placed
about twenty $kzeld pieces. When the
box is closed, aftef the metal has been
poured into the funnel, the operator
passes small key through a hole in
the side of the machine and touches
spring on which lie the gold pieces,
and one of the coins is by this means
slid into the die, so that when the cover
OF the box is raised the metal has disap-
peared and instead is a half-eagle rest
ing on the die.-Los angeles Times.

CHOCOLATE.
The Growth of the Trade in This Article

The Growth of the Trade in This Article
in the United States. s.ssF .
Said well-known manufacturer to q
reporter: The consumption of choco-
late in the United States has had WON
derful growth. In 1873 we manufac-
tured into chocolate goods "a, 600 bags
of raw cocoa; last year we used 81, 900
bags. an increase of $4,000 bags in five
years. The next five years will see a
still greater rate of increase. When
Humboldt discovered the use of the
cocoa plant in his travels, he little
dreamed of the immense business that
was to grow out of the connection of
his first cup of chocolate. It is to-day
fairly in the way of becoming one of
the principal articles of food through
out the world, and tends eventually to
supplant tea and coffee as a beverage.
As a flavorng it already stands next to
vanilla. which heads the list, and it is
used in all branches of cookery, pastry
and creams, and for baking purposes
generally. Fifteen years ago l went
on the road to sell in a small way
chocolate goods of my own manufac-
ture, and I was laughed at for my
pains. At that time the consumption
was limited in this country to the few
large cities in which the foreign ele-
ment predomnated. The article was
elsewhere comparatively unknown.
THE taste for chocolate is an ac-
auired one and the public had to be
educated to the love for it.. and like
tobacco and beer it is at first distasteful
and even nauseating. but also like them
when once the taste is formed it is not
easily surfeited. It probably tires the
taste less than any other CONNECTION,
apd this accounts for its presence in
nearly all the candy that is sold to-day.
Chocolate is one of the most healthful
foods known, and in its pure state NAV
be used to ar unlimited extent without
harmful effects. In Europe it has taken
nearly half a century of unremitting
labor on the part of manufacturers to
fairly establish the public taste for
chocolate, but Americans take to it
rapidly, and in fifteen years have
learned to love it and look upon it
almost as necessary of life. The va
r.eties of chocolote preparations are
almost legion, for it enters into the
manufacture of both food and drink. -

MEXICAN ARCHITECTURE

Quaint Il and Striking-Its Inspiration
Transplanted from SpaiIH ...
Nearly all Mexican towns, so far as /
have seen them. have features which
give them d stinct individuality. These
proceed from their great diversity in
site and climate-from their local
building materials and architectural
forms, and from the customs of their
inhabitants. For many generations
they have been left to their own re-
sources, and this isolation has en-
couraged these variations. How UNI
like the growth of the smart towns of
our young west, which appear all to
have been cast in the same mold, or
rather, cut out by the same jig-saw.
THERE'S notable architecture almost
everywhere in Mexico. Some of the
humblest villages are ennobled by
churches, whose domes and towers
would give them proud distinction in
the greatest cities of our commonplace
land. The architectural Inspirations
of Mexico come from Spain; the art has
been transplanted, not developed here.
Therefore it shows characteristics of
the styles which make Spanish archi-
tectural history. Gothic, however, is
sparsely represented. and its influence
is seldom traced except in the light,
serial strivings of some purely renais-
sance towers. The Romanesque and
Moorish are found underlying the re-
Nuisance, which dominated Spanish
architectural thoughts at the time of
the conquest. The Romanesque infiu-
ence is manifest almost everywhere in
Mexico, and sometimes with striking
nobility in almost pure examples of the
style There is also much extremely
forid and undignified rocco. For
tunately, this often appears subject to
Moorish influence, and in such cases
its usual incoherence gives way to
piquant grace Cor. Cleveland Leader.

THE TENDER DEPREDATORs.

Serious Misrepresentation OF the scope
and purpose of the recent order OF the
Commissioner of the General Land Office
respecting timber depredations having
obtained currency in many quarters,
Commissioner Sparks made a statement
the other day for publication with respect
to it. He said that he had transmitted
to the Secretary over thirty cases OF tim
Der trespasses reported by special agents
against the Montana Improvement Com
panv. and recommended suits for the re-
covery from said company, jointly with
the Northern Pacific railroad Company,
of $3.50, 900 in damages to the United
States. This company has a stock cap
ital of 50, 900, 900, of which the Northern
Pacific railroad is said to W a majority,
and it is reported to the General Land
Office as one of the most extensive and
dangerous depredators on public timber
in the Northwest.
General Sparks denies specifically that
he has taken any official action relative
to the cutting of timber from mineral
lands for agricultural, mining, or other
domestic purposes" under the provisions
of the Act of June 8, 1878, other than
to submit to the Secretary for his con-
sideration certain amendments to exist.
ing rules, the chief object of which is to
prevent the taking of timber in evasion OF
law for speculation and export, and says
that these amendments, which are now
being considered by the Secretary and
himself, do not contain the asserted pro-
vision that individuals entitled to take
timber must cut it themselves, and can.
not hire the work done nor employ
servants to do it. The Commissioner has
made no such recommendation.
General Sparks says, emphatically,
that there is no truth in the statement
that there is GOODNESS between the head
of the Interior Department and himself,
and that no rules, amended or other
wise, have been promulgated by him that
have not been approved by the Secretary.
"This Administration, he says, "means
reform OF abuses and a return to honest
and just methods of government. No
man is more devotedly enlisted to this
movement than the Secretary of the In.
terror, and / am quite sure he has full
confidence that his Commissioner of the
General Land Office will do all in his
power to this end"
