A Glorious Sight.

A very amusing mistake was that
discovered by proofreader in work
written by Dean Stanley. The latter
wrote, to use a colloquialism familiar
in printing establishments, the "vilest
hand" that ever puzzled the compost
tor. In one chapter the dean was de-
scribing q journey to Jerusalem, tho
frequent recurrence of the name of the
Holy City causing him to use the con-
traction "Jers. " Narrating the approach
of his party to Jerusalem, Dean Stanley
described their ascent up tho hills over
looking the city. He pictured in glow
ing language and striking phrases the
effect of the setting sun as it gilded the
hilltops in a golden haze, concluding,
as the compositor put it, in these words,
And as we slowly turned our faces to
tho east our eyes met with the glorious
sight of Jones. -

old.time Architeots.

As near as we can discover, the arch
Itect of we olden tyne did not re-
ceiye for his services a very exorbitant
sum. Recently some members of the
French school at Delphi unearthed sew
eral slabs of marble which bear In
scriptions of great interest, dating, as
they do, from the fourth century be-
fore Christ. The inscriptions. which
covered about 200 lines, give the price
of work for building 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 multi
piled, as 1t should be, five or six times.
Sir Christopher Wren received for his
services the magnificent sum of $1,000
per year for more than twenty years
while rebuilding London! His head
draughtsman 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, II was better than
the remuneration many of the older
architects received, for In the far east,
II an artist made a noble design and
erected building worthy of admira-
ton, his chances OF being suddenly re
moved" by order of the king were
many. This step was taken In order
TO prevent rival king from obtaining
the services of an architect who might
be able to so improve his plans that q
finer and nobler building would be exc
cuted.-Archltecture and Building
