TOWER SCHEMES

It is assumed that Chicago must have
a tower for the conspicuous attraction
of its fair, and that it must be some
thing that will put in the shade the one
at Paris. The fabrics that come from
the active brains that feel called upon
to contribute to the solution are often
marvels of ingenuity, and show faith
unlimited in the mechanical and en-
cheering possibilities of the age. One
would have tower 1000 feet high and
4s0 at the base, with vast hotel and
theater in the lower parts. One of the
most recent is pyramid 1000 feet
square on the ground and 1000 feet high,
with all sorts of uses for the forty to
sixty stories. An electric cable in
clined will run around the structure
and up to near the top and down on
another track. The view would be irs-
mense, and the ride more exhilarating
than wine. The structure should re-
main for permanent use, as in the case
of the Eiffel and the one to be built III

VERY CONSERVATIVES.

The Presbyterian general assembly
was eminently prudent and conserva-
tive in taking the new steps dictated by
the lower bodies. The action OF the ma
iority of the presbyteries was accepted
and a committee given year to formu-
late the new version. There is to be no
radical work; the dogmas that are dis
credited are not to be rudely extirpated,
but to be restated so as to leave out the
phraseology without forcing the comics
sion that the distinctive doctrines OF
the denomination have been miSconcep-
lions. 1t was stated IN the assembly
that a revision was desired that did not
Impair the integrity of Calvinism.
To the untutored observer this would
seem like an elimination that removes
nothing. The concession would be
avoided that the old statements meant
the severe things they were understood
TO. A restatement of the old doctrines.
and not new ones, was indicated in the
report of the committee as the end
sought There is natural reluctance to
seem to discredit the faith that has
wrought such surprising results in the
past two centuries.

CHEAPER CAR FARES.

In one of the neighboring cities a
paper is attempting to figure out the
time when electric street cars will have
lower passenger rates than five cents.
The argument is that with similar dis
tanceS and patronage the electric should
charge. but two cents where the cable
has five. The cost of the cable is put
at Ss4, 600 per mile and the electric road
$4,000. The operating expenses are
about the same, but in favor of the
electric so far as there is a di ference.
Then, if the profits of the cable are 10
per cent. or IS, 400 per mile. the electric
will need but profit of $1,000 per mile

A MANS PHILOSOPHY.

The question was asked the other day
of an old man, if he would be willing to
live his life over precisely as he had
lived it, in the minutest detail. He said
he had lived pretty comfortably most
of his life, suffered little from sickness,
had not found marriage failure, never
had been in jail or found out in special
ly disreputable acts, although he had
been in politics, and more than once
been elected to Office. Still, he had no
desire to repeat the experience. He
could pick out some days and weeks,
here and there, that he would be will
ing to duplicate; but he knew of no
year or month he would repeat with all
its mental or physical experience. Still,
he had no bad opinion of the way the
world was constructed and operated.
He was not sure that he could improve
Oh it if he were employed as the
architect. There were people in it
that he would not, perhaps, have
made, except to keep up all
assortment, and several things he did
not fully comprehend. 1t was pretty
fair world on the whole. He had never
seen better. aud was not in any haste
leave this. There was no eccentric
ity aboat the man. and he had the phil
osophy OF life pretty fairly understood.
He said that could he go through life
again. with the benefit of his expert
ence, he would be very glad of the op-
portunity. He had made mistakes that
now seemed to him easy to avoid. Still,
he was hot indulging in vain regrets.
He liked the world so we'll that he had
no desire for date to leave it. In his
estimation, as age came OH one felt him
self to be outgrowing the world, and
the ties that held him to it were being
dissipated. 1t was constantly less
| matter of concern as to the time of de-
| parIure, but interest in its affairs did
not become lost. The true theory was
to jog along as if there were no jumping
! off place.

Brown-But what has that to do
with it?
Fogg = Everything, my dear boy.
WicklewaSh has brain that would fill
a dessert spoon; nothing to boast of in
itself, you know; but man with a
brain like Wicklewash's must always
occupy commanding position among
men with only teaspoon of brain
apiece. There's where Wicklewash's
executive ability comes in. He never
makes mistake, and when vacancy
occurs he invariably selects for the
place man with the smallest possible
amount of brain.
