daughter Mabel They had been her com
panions from her babyhood and she was
now years old. One day she and they were
frolicking in the garden when the little
girls attention was attracted by peculiar
noise in bush at her elbow.
She peered into the branches to see what
had made the noise. Instantly the head OF
Ia snake reared itself before her, and the
sound OF its rattles was repeated. Mabel
stood as IL fascinated. The gardener at
work not far off screamed TO her TO run

have been too late but for the dogs.

COPYING A CAPITOL.
Yhs National Edincc n Model For Many
State Buildings.

The architectural relation OF the state
capitol buildings scattered throughout the
country 10 the national capitol at WASH
ington is quantity comparable with that OF
parent and progeny, for the present legis-
lative homes of the states have all been
constructed since the Washington capitol
took shape, and the architects whose plans
they enlbody almost instinctively turned
10 the edifice by the Potomac-if not rs
model, at least rs suggestion.
This is nowhere more evident than in the
western and southern states. The capitol
Of Kansas and that Of Texas, for instance,
are but modified reproductions of the moth
er edifice In Washington. North Dakota,
Nebraska, Colorado, Tennessee, Missouri
and tho other states in that part Of the
country, however, while preserving the
main features of the national building in
dome, pedimental main doorway and base
ment story, have not INDUCED in the col
umn ornamentation. This tends usually
to give denuded look to structures of that
character, but the architects have us IA rule
been SO happy in their combinations that
such a consequence was escaped.
The south affords striking instance of
Vitrovius' accuracy in saying that the ar
chitecture of n state is history in stone OF
its past. Her capitol buildings form an ar
chitectural aristocracy, poor, 1t may be, and
not gilded, but impressive still. The struc
lures, with Texas as the exception in rich
ness emily, show refined taste with dignilied
poverty.
The cast affords a specimen of every type
New York's building ut Albany has had the
misfortune to be connected with an unsa
worry faint Of jobbery, and its undeniablt
grandeur seems disrcgarded in general con
demnation of the system which gave it be
ing. Alone among the states the Empirt
commonwealth has freed its official HON,
from the architectural domination Of tn,
icity Of the Potomac. The consequence, ar
Itistically, is success The capitol is a pal
ace. The law of harmonies Is obeyed in let
ter and in spirit, The dome tower of th'
structure is the fitting crown Of monarch
in marble.
The influence Of architecture upon gov
ernment is the topic this creation will pre-
: sent in the next generation to philosopher
who have exhausted the interest of archi
