Looking Down from High Places.

From the Chicago Journal.
A determined-faced, fne-looking man was
looking up where thirteen-story building
seems to pierce the Clouds After standing
and staring for some minutes he turned to the
Stroller: "All the money in Chicago would not
hire me to stand upon that corner up there
where I've often seen the men
perched with the utmost confidence

in the army-in many hot engagement. Men

never knew what fear was. Yet, whenever

almost uncomfortable impulse to pitch myself
headlong below. One night L with others

falling from windows, and whose tragic end is

Mrs. Jacob Greenup, of Bonnie Terre, NO.,

twenty-seven, singing favorite song in his
bedroom. She knew he must be at work in a

see him. As she stepped through the front
door men were carrying the ifeless remains
of the son into the yard. He had been killed

Yesterdays fog was simply horrible in

hanson which was buried in fog in the middle
Of roadway. My cabby had to walk, leading
his horse with his lamp in his hand, close to
the curbstone almost as far as the Marble Arch.
Even then he often got on the pavement. The
sound of the voices of those lost in the fog, the
ghostly glare of the hanson lamps, which
seemed strangely far apart, and the far-away

The Queens Household Expenses.

New York Tribune Cable Letter
1t is said that the queens household ex-
penses come to the enormous sum of f85, 900
ayear. There must obviously be great extrav-
agance somewhere. The complaints of the lord
stewards Office are constant, but it is said to
be quite impossible to cut the expenses down
or to see where economies could be introduced.
This sum includes the expense of the royal
stables, in which three hundred men are en-
ployed. This seems a large number, consider
ing how little there is to show, judging by the
turnout on jubilee day last year, which is the
only opportunity there has been for years of
showing what the royal stable could produce
