Pay Of Old Time Architects.

AS near as we can discover the archi.
tect of I'VE olden tyne" did not receive
for his services very exorbitant sum.
Recently some members Of the French
school at Delphi unearthed several slabs
of marble which bear inscriptions of
great interest, dating as they do from
the fourth century before Christ. The
inscriptions, which cover about 200
lines, give the price of work for build
ing operations in Greece at the period
named, and from them we learn that an
architect was paid at the rate of $3.50
per annum or less. This was little
enough surely, even if its purchasing
power is multiplied, as it should be,
five or six times. Sir Christopher Wren
received for his services the magnificent
sum of 81, 200 per year for more than 20
years while rebuilding London. His
head craftsman received about $500 per
year, while assistants received from
$50 to $125 per year. French and Ger
man architects were not even so well
paid at the same period. Bad as this
was, it was better than the remunera-
ton many of the older architects re-
ceived. for in the far east if an artist
made noble design and erected build
ing worthy of admiration his chances of
being suddenly removed" by order of
the king were many. This step was
taken in order to prevent rival king
from obtaining the services of an archi-
tect who might be able to so improve
his plans that finer and nobler build
ing would be executed. Architecture

KLONDlKE DOG EXCHANGE.
Promoters Of Novel Canine Scheme Be
lieve 1t Will BE Successful.

Promoters Of Novel Canine Scheme Be-
lieve 1t Will BE Successful.
One of the most novel schemes which
have yet come to light in connection
with Klondike expeditions developed in
Chicago recently coincident with the
arrival Of J. H. Ingram of New York
and Thomas Wilson of London.
1t contemp plates the organization of a
dog exchange at Dawson City OH the
plan Of the horse exchanges of civiliza
ton; dog livery, where teams of we'll
trained dogs will be rented out for use;
q store where dog supplies will be ex-
clusively dealt in, speciality to be
made of condensed foods for dogs; a
hospital for dogs, where they will be
treated by an experienced veterinarian,
and lastly dog express route from one
of the principal seacoast towns to Daw-
son City and other important interior
mining towns by means of relays of dog
teams.
Mr. Wilson is the originator Of the
scheme. He interested Mr. Ingram, who
has the capital, and the two are on their
way now to put it in operation. During
the summer months they will turn their
hands to some extent to other projects,
but as summer constitutes but a small
part of the Klondike year they expect to
give their time principally TO their dog
business.
II suppose, said Mr.. Wilson, "that
many people will look upon this as a
crazy project, but in view Of the value
of the dog in that country, the impor.
tant uses to which he is put, and the
fact that 1t has been demonstrated that
transportation by this method during
all the winter is perfectly feasible, it
strikes MS that there is much on which
to base hopes Of success. "-Chicago

A CLEVER CAPTURE.
A Brave Lady Catches u Theft and
Receivers Her Property.

Mrs. VIM, Lanyon, lr., and daugh-
ter, Miss Daisy, are still absent, on u
pleasure trip to the west and south
west, and do not expect to return
home until some time in January.
They visited many places of interest
in California, and stopped at many of
the larger towns on the way out, and
returning. One night, between Ogdon
and Pueblo, they had very remark
able experience. Intending to change
cars during the night, they did not
take sleeper, but remained in re-
clining chairs, and soon fell asleep,
On waking, Miss Daisy missed her
collarette, and searched for it, but
without avail, She informed her
mother of the loss, and together they
looked for it; but while they were un-
able TO find the collartte, they found,
sitting behind them, u suspicious look
ing Mexican, with large and suspic-
ious looking bundle of clothing tied
or strapped together, Mrs, Lanyon
inquired of him for the collarette, and
he disclaiming that he knew anything
about it, she asked him to open out
his bundle of goods, so that she might
see whether it was among them or
not This he refused TO do, and when
the train reached Pueblo he got of
and went into the depot. Mrs. Lanyon
and Miss Daisy also got OH, and fol-
lowed the Mexican into tho depot: and
Mrs. Lanyon being we'll persuaded In
her own mind that he really had
stolen the collarette, went up TO him
and demanded that he open his pack
of goods, threatening that If he re-
fused she would call n policeman aud
have him searched. He reluctantly
opened his bundle, and made pre-
tense of showing that the collarette
was not contained IN IL. But Mrs.
Lanyon caught hold of the bundle and
soon found the stolen property. A
policeman coming up, inquired the
cause of the trouble, and on being In
formed, arrested the thief; and the
next morning trial was had and the
Mexican was found guilty and SEN
fenced to term Of Imprisonment.
Mrs. Lanyon should be commended
for her bravery. Doubtless she sur
prised rs we'll rs discomhtted the
sneak thief. Badger blood will tell.
