out of his term of ONCE, but he found 1t
very difficult. The President is the
hardest-worked man in the United

Mr.. Arthur was very fond OF the thea

liked to laugh. Above all things he de-

the White House, to which he invited

games regularly.
President Hayes was nothing OF a
sport In fact, it may fairly be said
that he had no amusement whatever.
He cared nothing for driving, and he
was never known to play any games.
He was socially disposed, however, and
used to receive visitors commonly In

Gen. Grants favorite game was
"Boaston." He used 10 play it great

Pronunciation.

Linguists tell us that the prOnun-
citation is slowly but steadily chang
ing. Sometimes it is going further
and further away from the or
biography; for example, either
and neither are getting to have in
their first syllable the long sound
intead of the long sound which they
had once. Sometimes it Is being
modified to agree with the orthogra-
pny; for example, the older pronun-
citation of again to rhyme with men,
and of been TO rhyme with pin, In
which ! was carefully trained as a
boy, seemed TO me to be giving way
before a pronunciation in exact ac-
cord with the spelling, again TO rhyme
with pain, and been TO rhyme with
seen. These two illustrations are
from the necessarily clrcumscribed
experience OF a single observer, and
the observation OF others may not
bear me out in my opinion; but
though the illustrations fall to the
ground, the main assertion, that pro-
nunciatlon Is changing, Is indlsputa-

been laid In New York, is to be one
Of the most beautiful buildings in
the new world, and perhaps as ex-
uuisite as any that have been erected
anywhere in modern ages. IL has
often been asked what the cathedral
and the grounds will cost when COM
pleted, but that is something that no
man can tell When pressed for an
answer it is said that the total cost.
will not be less than $1,000, 900 and
may be more than $4,000, 600. 1t is
very doubtful whether the cathedral
completed will be ready for dedica-
ton under fifteen years.
Some idea of its size may be gained
from a description of its dimensions.
Its total length will be $40 feet, it's
front width 1872 feet, the height of
the towers 248 feet, the height of
the central lantern, which will be at
the topmost point of the structure,
445 feet, and the height of the inter
Tor dome 253 feet. A building of this
size will contain easily not far from
$1,000 persons.
The first part of the structure to.
be built is to be the choir and ambu-
latory, and this is so large that it,
will contain easily 1900; it's height
is 154 feet, and height of its tower
100 feet. 1t is larger than most eff

is so large that dozen ordinary
dwelling houses in New York could
easily be contained within it's limits
and yet, in comparison with the

to be the choir, it bears the same
proportions that an ordinary extern

The work Of building tie fort fell
upon negro slaves, Indians and pris-
liners of war. Every stone laid in 1T
represented the misery of toiling,
suffering humanity during a period
of a century and half. When COM
pleted, however, it was considered a
masterpiece. While in the posses
sion of the British it was considered
the prettiest fort in the kings do
monions. OF this grim old fortress,
with its meats, barbicans, draw
bridges, frowning bastions and its
mysterious dungeons in which, years
ago, two skeletons were found in
cages, Margaret Deland says: "There
is no watch now; the fort has nothing
to fear. Visitors come and go, or
down in the grass-grown moat thin,
white donkey wanders about, crop
ping hungrily at the tufted thistles
that stand in the angles OF the bar
bican or crowd like sentinels around
stone which may have tumbled
from the ramparts. The offensive
attitude of these thistles, brave in
green and silver and with pink cock

the peaceful fort" a

Presidential Amusements.

F,Mr. Cleveland is probably the most
thoroughgoing sportsman that has ever
occupied the Presidential office. At
the same time the methods OF hunting
and fishing which he prefers are not
such as are regarded with the highest
appreciation by experts in the use OF rod
and gun. He does not care 10 cast the
fly for trout, but prefers to troll for
bluefish. Quail, which afford the finest
sport in the neighborhood of Washing
ton, have never served as game for him,
success with them requiring patient
walking and great quickness. He has
found it more amusing TO shoot ducks
from behind blind in the Chesapeake.
