The Sort Of Tall Buildings Which Chicago
il Reaching For.

Ano SOrt OF Iall Buildings Which Chicago
il Reaching For.
From the Chicago Post
The plans are announced of an Odd Fellows
temple, to be erected on a downtown corne-
to the dazzling height Of $50 feet, an eminence
which surpasses the Washington monument by
one foot and the spire of the Cologne cathe-
dral by forty-ive feet. The so-called temple
will, in fact, be business building, except as
to that comparatively small portion used by
the Odd Fellows for lodge rooms.
There is no business building of this size now
in existence. The Masonic Temple, now being
erected in this city, will rise to the height of
twenty stories, or 275 feet, and the Auditorium
tower is eighteen stories, or go feet high. But
pile this Ossa atop of this Peion and the sum-
init would still come eleven feet short of the
projected Odd Fellows Temple OF other build
ings hitherto considered high Chicago has no
lack. The w. C. I. U. Temple is 200 feet high.
the Chicago Hotel 1863 feet, the Monadnock
building 204 feet. But the combined height of
these three surpasses the Odd Fellows Temple
by only II feet In New York twenty-eiRht-
story office building has been projected for a
lot on lower Broadway, but this is to reach the
trifiing altitude of only $50 feet
The millions invested in the sky-scrapers are
not paid out for sentiment, but to the end of
earning dividends for the investors. In this
commercial age that fact must be accepted as
an excuse for their existence. For however
interesting they may be as feats of architec-
tural engineering, these lanky structures are
essentially ugly and offensive to the eye.

Alfonso Nil and His Little wsys.

From the Galislani Messenger
From August the infant King OF Spain is Ia
be placed under the charge OF a governor.
Alfonso AllI has now completed his NTH wear.
and up to this time has been entirely under
female management His majesty is now giving
s.Sns that he requires a frmer hand To guild,
him. and a recent exploit Of his at a garden
party has caused the queen regent 20 decide
that the time has now arrived TO put her son
under stricter discipline than he has experi-
enced hitherto. The little king is very fond Of
gardening, and last year Queen isabella pre-
scented her grand with n miniature COPY Of
a manual engine, such as Is used b. the NIen-
nese lire brigades, 80 that he could water his
flowers. The king. however, determined 20 nus
his engine to more entertaining Use. AT .
garden party, which recently took pl-ce at the
palace, he pretended to be innocently engaged
in gardening and, waiting for his opportunity,
he called certain distinguished old general
who was attired in his full uniform to look at
his flowers. As soon the officer came near
enough the king turned the squirt upon him,
completely drenching him. Monsignor Merry del
Va, the son of the Spanish ambassador in Vienna,
who was attracted to the spot by the king
screams OF deligh', WAS served in the same man
ner 1t is not reported whether these two gentle
men gave the youthful monarch the thrashing
which he richly deserved, but Is Monsignor
Merry del Val is from August l TO have the
entire control of tie king, perhaps he may ar
range the matter with him later on.

WORK OF A CAMERA.
The Giant Strides of Photography in Half a
Century.

The Giant Strides of Photography In Half a
Century.
From the September Outing.
photography" it has been said, sis one of
the three great discoveries of the age-the
steam engine, the electric telegraph and pho
Biography. No five centuries in human progress
can show such strides as these" And photog-
raphy, let us remember, is the youngest of the
three.
The pursuit of photography gives exercise to
the body, while it diverts the mind, and de-
lights with ever higher Joy the sense for all
things beautiful. The amateur photographer
| is shown things by the camera which he never
dreamed of before, and is led by it into the
secret haunts OF nature, Of whose existence
even he was previously ignorant. Truly it is a
fascinating art any one that benefits in the
most vital and lasting ways, while it gives
pleasure to the devotee.
And wonderful have been the achievements
accomplished in less than fifty years, for the
daguerreOtype-the method which underlies
our modern process-was not made public uu-
til 1889. Dry-plete photography is about ten
years old, and most OF the process in this de-
lightful art-science has, heretofore been ac-
complished within the past decade. The drv
plate made possible instantaneous photography
and all the later advances, and simplified the
process to such degree that any bright bow or
girl Of ten can easily master it in a few days.
For the older ones 1t is refining accomplish
ment that is easily acquired and affords no
end of amusement and benefit.
A complete Photographic outfit can be pur-
chased from any reliable dealer for from ten to
hundred dollars, and the necessary instruc-
ton can be obtained in one lesson when the
purchaser obtains his equipment. It is, then.
merely question Of practice and taste. In q
short time all the remarkable achievements of
photography are as easy for the new amateur
as they were for the experienced workers who
first made them possible. The latest conner has
the benefit of all that has boon accom- plished be-
fore, well as an infinite field for progress.
What science. art, or recreation offers SO much
to the amateur?

A Solid Business Mans Talk With Q Tailor
Who Demanded . Deposit.
From the Kansas City Times.
He was a substantial and we'll known business
man of the city, and when he walked into q
tailoring establishment ON Main street the
other day he asked in business-like way to be
shown some plain gray goods for q business
suit The second piece shown him struck his
fancy and he asked the cost, told how he wanted
1t made and had his measure taken. Then,
handing the tailor his card, he said:
"Your place was recommended to me by
Mr.. -, who always deals here"
After asking when he should call for it he
started out
I'VE always require q deposit Of eI0," sug-
gested the tailor.
"A what?"
"A deposit Of $40. You know sometimes
people forget to come after clothes and they
have to be sent to the misfit man.
you mean you want ME to pay SO DOWN.
Yes sir; Its necessary in our business"
suppose you make a mistake in the fit?'
out" ~
=, Now see here, Mr.. Tailor, suppose you get
things mixed and cut out my cloth on the pat
tern OF that slab-sided. slope-shouldered,
bandy-legged dude you just measured do YOU
suppose altering would do them any goodl Not
much. Now you have had a square whack at
me; you have gone all over my anatomy with
that string and triangle You have punched
me IN the side and poked around to find out
where the joints were, and if you haven't done
1t right don't expect to pay for it. Hear? I'll
tell you what I'll do, though; I'll give you a
S5O0 bond to be here on time and take the
clothes If they fit. leaving the question Of fit to
a committee of three selected tailors But YOU
will have to pay the expenses. Or I'll do this:
II pay you Tor the suit now if you will give me
a bond OF the same kind to make the clothes tit
or return the money with interest But you
must pay all expenses. II you don't want those
terms, partner, you can look me up in Brad
streets and find out who 1 am and make the
duds or you can pay me for the trouble of sub
uniting to this measuring business. See! But
you don't get any contingent fee out of me on
a suit of Clothes
The tailor took the risk,
