Egyptian architecture, the oldest Of
known styles, placed the weight firmly
on the ground. In the first stages of
building the strength of materials and
the art Of construction were but imper
fectly understood, and to obtain security
masses of material were placed on a
broad base, narrowing upward in the
form Of a pyramid. 1t suggested secu-
rity and permanence. The earliest eKtant
monument of the work of mantle
pyramids by the Nile-still rest on the
sand of the desert in their majestic
massiveness. The Egyptian buildings
were constructed on the model of the
pyramid. Truncated at various heights,
details and ornamentation. however
varied, left the same impression of Sc
curity and permanence.
The shelving base, from which springs
the propylon or porch, the multiplica
ton Of short, stunted shafts, the shallow
reliefs, are all subservient to the one
idea. The building rests on the ground,
aud you know it. The slender obeIisk
placed in front as a foil brought into
prominence the massive solidity of the
building The accessory sphinx, with
its front paws placed fat on the pedes-
tai, the body firmly recumbent and the
head 'solidly draped was a type of i'm

We are told regularly-periodically
told-that the eminent politician earns
his country's gratitude. We have much
to be thankful for, we little ones, but
we have indeed cause to be truly thank
full that we are not destined to earn such
gratitude as that. How many politi-
clans, say, during the past century may
be said to have earned their country's
gratitude? How many out of the great
multitude of politicians? Is there one2
Is there one man of whom his country
men are willing to say, with an even
nearly unanimous voice, 1--WE owe that
man our heartfelt gratitude; it is his;
we give it him." AS they sometimes
cry in the arena of his former struggles:
"Namel Name!"
Doubtless every man Jack of those ex-
tinct eminent politicians-fo extinct
they are as the dodo, to all practical in
tents and purposes-has his followers as
he had them then. And equally true it
is that he has his opponents, quite in the
good old way. What sort of gratitude
is it which consists in being set up by
one set of men for another set Of men to
knock you down? Those eminent poll
ticians have handed on their wrangles
to our eminent politicians. We are
wrangling just on the same old lines.
IL we look deeply into the matter we
shall begiHto doubt if we have advanced
much farther than they di6. We are
making the same old plunges in the
same old lucky bag. AL the Year

inquiry as 10 his reasons for wanting 10
stay. This so exasperated me that put
the man out myself, greatly to the
astonishment and apprehension Of the

In little ont of the way alley not far
from Stuyvesant square there is a small.
dingy barroom. II is the fayorite drink
ing place of dozen or more old men,
who are cronies and have met and played
chess there for many years. The aged
proprietor Of the place has filed the
room with curiosities-strange stuffed
birds, autographs of old New Workers,
theater tickets of quarter Of a century
ago, a few old fashioned collars, etc.
The old gentleman is facetious occa-
sionally. He has been chuckling over
his latest joke for a week or two.
Hanging from the ceiling directly
over the bar is a bamboo birdeage. The
four sides of the cage are covered with
cloth curtains. On one OF these curtains
is printed this inscription, "A Mexican
Bat" OF course every customer wants
TO see the animal. but on lifting the cur
tain one sees nothing but brick sus-
pended from the top Of the cage by
string. The experiment generally costs

Mrs. Fenwick Muller, London
writer of note, comes out strongly on
the subject of Lady Montague's methods
of discipline, and incidentally has some
plain words to say about punishments

ity, the shutting up of young children

norance, ring forth all kinds of terrible
and threatening things. No young chill

There is no crime that a child can
commit that would entitle us to expose
him or her to the mental agonies of soli-
tude in darkness, many peopled as it ia
with phantcns and terrors. We know
that even in our prisons this terrible
punishment IS only resorted to to subdue

Women who think it 50 strange that
New York men occupy seats in crowded
cars. elevated and otherwise, while femi-
nine passengers clutch for straps, should
draw the moral from an incident that
happened in Fifth avenue stage a few
days ago. One of those clumsy vehicles
was numbering mp the avenue with two
passengers. one middle aged man sit
ting 10y the door. AT Nineteenth street
the stage stopped. and an old lady. after
bidding an affectionate- farewell 10 a
friend at the step. climbed in and SAT-
down opposite the middle aged passen-
ger. The latter was gazing idly into
the street. when he felt touch. and
suddenly found himself in possession Of

newly entered passenger, though she
favored him with neither word nor
glance. 1t was equally plain that il
was her fare, and that she expected the
middle aged man to deposit it in the

the stage, dropped the nickle into its

seemed oblivious of his presence. The
bus rumbled on up Fifth avenue for
some minutes without incident, when
the old lady suddenly leaned over and
said, stop the stage at Thirty-fourth
street. The middle aged man flushed
slightly with evident annoyance. and
said decisively: Madam, you compelled
me TO deposit your fare few moments
ago, and omitted the commonest civil
ties in doing so. | am neither the driver
nor conductor of this stage. and though

Few Hours Before the Wedding.
1t was under circumstances Of peculiar
difficulty that Alfred c. became 8
benedict the other day. As the bride
elect lived out of town, in one of the
neighboring suburbs, he had arranged TO
go to the house of friend not far away
early IN the forenoon. There he was 10
dress for the ceremony, which was TO
take place, English fashion, at the little
village church before 10 o'clock. Send
ing most of his luggage on ahead, he
put his wedding toggery in hand
valise Zone of those fat soleleather af-
fRirs), and boarded the train at the time
appointed.
Although naturally very exact and
methodical person, he was, not unreason-
ably, rather nervous on this occasion,
and having left his seat TO speak to a
friend in the forward part of the car just
before reaching the station, he hurried
back as the brakeman called out the
name of his place of destination, and
seizing what he supposed was his bag as
it lay in an otherwise empty seat, he was
off and away almost before the train had
come to standstill. Arriving at his
friends house, he found that there was
an hour ahead of him before it was time
to dress, so he consigned his bag to the
servant and followed his host into his

gar before the momentous event.

bewildered, c., together with his
friend, followed the man upstairs and
found neatly ranged on the bed what was
evidently the contents Of drummer's
bag of samples cotton "union gar
ment,' child's size; four different styles
of braces, patent seam corset, eight
samples of collar buttons, half dozen
ties of fiaring colors stamped correct
style," and other goods of the same kind.
OF course the explanation was obvious;
he had taken the wrong bag, and his own
wedding suit was en- route for Boston,
without either bride or bridegroom, on
wedding tour of its own. Fortunately
his friend was man of about the same
size, and by borrowing an outfit he was
enabled to reach the church in time and
no one was any the wiser. The story
leaked out, however, and on his return
from the honeymoon trip he had lively
