Minnesota Capitol Bui1din. to BE Lo-
Gated at st. Paul.
The Minnesota capitol building, to
be located at st. Paul, will cost, ac-
cording to estimates and specifications
submitted by the architect, $1,27O,992.
Mr. Gilbert says the cubical contents
Of the building will be 4,415,693 feet.
1t is of modern style of architecture,
and the awarding committee described
it as scholarly, we'll proportioned and
refined. The first clements consider
ed in making the design, says Architect
Gilbert, have been the practical ones
of economy and good construction.
Next, and hardly less important have
been the questions of suitable and con-
venient arrangement of the interior
of the building, giving ample light and
ventilation to all it's parts and con-
venient access between those parts OF
the structure most requiring it, and
finally, that it shall express in all it's
parts as a whole the dignity OF it's
purpose.
"Rooms most used have been located
in the first story, and the most impor-
tant ones, so far as practicable, have
been placed on the south front and so
grouped as to best accommodate the
business of the State officers.
t"rhe House of Representatives, the
Senate and the Supreme Court have
been placed in the second story, and,
being large rooms, extend clear through
to the roof, being lighted from the top

were scattered over the Island OF Etna
by the Spanish domination. He is now

he was project ut Palermo, and in that
year of the revolution he tried to re-

was ferocious. neither giving nor ac-

was that by which Beranger, the poet,
summed up Victor Hugo's relation to
the great republican spirit of France.
Hugo. although it is said that he was
not republican at the very begin
ming of his career, became a most en-
fhusiastic and outspoken one. He rep
resented the pictorial, dramatic side
of popular feeling and became SO pic
turesaue figure in French politics
that he could not have failed to- serve
as popular idol.

NO sooner have the X rays given sur
geons an interior view of the human
body than new surgical operations have
been projected more wonderful than
the x rays themselves. There is
| man in Chicago who, having under
gone a resection of the femur, had
three inches of a calf's bone inserted
to preserve the length of The limb; but
even this feat is to be eclipsed. DR..
Miller, Of Fertile, Mimi, is experiment.
ing to test the practicability Of trans
ferring the kidneys of one animal to
the body Of another. He has already
attempted the operation and overcome
the most serious obstacles, and is con-
fident he will soon be able to replace the
diseased kidneys of man with those
of dog. The prospect which these
experiments open up is rather confus-
ing. Evidently the time is approach
ing when Bright's disease will lose it's
terrors, for if this malady attacks a
man he will simply get a new set of
kidneys and go about his business. But
the danger is that the knowledge that
this can be done will only encourage
self-indulgence, and result in general
breaking down of the system. On the
other hand, there is a prospect that
new livers, hearts, and lungs may be
provided in the same way, so we are
all at sea again. One thing to be con-
sidered before one submits to such OPP
erationS is the effect Of these organic
repairs on character. II, as material
lists assert, every mans character is the
inevitable product of his physical ma
ture, it follows that no serious change
can be made in the organs of his body
without corresponding change in his
mental traits. Probably no one doubts
that if mans brains were taken out
and replaced with calf's brains it would
make change in his way of thinking.
But it is just as obvious that if he had
a calf's liver it would make a proper
Tomato change in his character; and so
on with the other organs. Then the
question arises whether these changes
would injure human character or i'm
prove it; and this of course depends on
the man. Some cynic has said the
more he saw of men the better he
thought of dogs, and probably he would
consider that the more dog there could
be transferred to a mans body the bet
ter man he would be. Certain it is that
there are men, here and everywhere,
| who with some traits of the dog, the
hog, and even the hyena introduced
into their character would be better
citizens. But one thing leads to an
other, and we are next brought face to
face with IN awkward problem con-
corning personal identity. If one part
after another of a pocketknife is chang
ed it gradually ceases to be the same
knife. Much more if mans vital or
gans give way to those Of the sheep,
the calf, and the dog, he must become
a different moral being. Is he a man
at all? Has he soul? Is he account
able and immortal? After all, it is diff
| ficult to tell whether DR.. Miller should
be encourage Or not in his daring ex-
periments.

The Community OF Letters.

Writers have liked to speak of the Re-
public of Letters, as if to mark their
freedom and equality; but there is a
better phrase. namely, the Community
of Letters: for that means intercourse
and comradeship and a life in common.
Some take up their abode in it as if
they had made no search for place to
dwell in, but had come into the freedom
Of it by blood and birthright. Others
buy the freedom with a great price,
and seek out all the sights and privil-
eyes of the place with an eager thor
oughness and curiosity. Still others
win their way into it with a certain
grace and aptitude. next best to the
ease and dignity of being born to the
right. But for all it is a bonny place to
be. It's comradeships are liberal edu-
cation. Some, indeed, even there. live
apart: but most run always in the mar
ket place to know what all the rest
have said. Some keep special company.
while others keep none at all. But all
feel the atmosphere and life of the
place in their several degrees. Cen
