What It Cost.


1t is interesting to turn from the con-
sideration of the vast proportions of the
building itself to the human interests
that it will serve. 1t was to accommo-
date the constant demand for more
room i'm the busiest section of the me-
tropoliS that this expenditure of time,
money and effort, amounting altogether
to some 100000. was made. And the
addition which it makes in this direc-
ton is by no means insignificant.
AS was said before, the dead weight
of the building itself is about 10000
TONS But the addition of the maxi
mum load which the twenty-nine floors
are calculated TO carry, the total
weight of the structure will amount to
something like $4,000 tons.
There are $50 rooms in the building.
Counting four persons to each office,
this will make the permanent popula-
ton of the building nearly 1000, or
equal to that of many fourishing
county seat.
To this must be added a large tran
sient population, amounting probably
for one person to each resident at any
given time during business hours. This
would make an ordinary population,
resident and floating, of 1900 for this
one building. If twenty persons visit
each office during the day we have the
result of 5000 persons using the build
ing every day. In other words, an
army as large as that of the United
States will march in and out of the
building every day. The various eleva-
tors will have daily passenger traffic of
over 10000, or more than that of many
an important railway line.
1t is curious reflection that if the
regular occupants of the building were
placed shoulder to shoulder on the
ground that it occupies there would be
barely standing room for them, while
if all the persons who visit the building
during the day were gathered on the
ground site at one time they would
make a group standing fifteen deep
on one another's heads.
From the architects point of view
the planning of a building nearly 400
feet high, with a base only 100 feet.
offers many difficulties. The necessity
of a facade nearly $50 feet high is apt
to result in the bald, staring appear
ance of chimney or tower. which is
both ugly and painful to the sight. The
method of relieving this ten
dency is by treating the stories in
of four or five. This lessons the
effect of extreme height. At the same
time the width is made to seem greater
than it really is by the addition of
heavy cornices and projecting balco-
MES.
While it is perhaps too much to ex-
pect that a skyscraper shall become an
object of beauty these various devices |
do much to give the building personal |
ty and distinction and to lessen the eff |
feet of perfectly blank, staring walls. |
The architects aim is realized if the |
building can be made to look less than |
It's real height without losing any of the |
character of it's true proper
ions.

Grandpa, correspondent of Farm

bring a husband to terms; He add
vises wives thus: ''Humbug your
husband by loving him into think

world, and he is your slave for life.
You can love man into nearly any
thing; but if you freeze him him out,
and some other woman tries the

line, but they have been so thor

than that the same medicine will

You, perhaps, have been too busily
engaged for years to notice your
wife's caresses; you are freezing her
to death, and you do not know it.
Those wrinkles on her brow can be
kissed away; try it. Bless yoursoul,

Love is the cement that makes

am old, and at the very exit of my
life love is my theme, as it is to the
sixteen-year-old girl. 1t is the one
thing the more we give the more we
have to give away. 1t has made me
happy all through life, and love is

The last number ois The Chu1chn'GH
under the head lines of The National
Question gives to its readers one At tie
most impressive an thoughtful
editorials OH the sui jeet low uri'r-
most in the minds of American PEG
pie, that We have yet read. 1t says:
To-day we are face to face with
fact. Let us look il in the face and
see how matters stand with the ma
ton. We are confronted by situa
ton, the unprecedented responsible
ties, difficulties and dangers of which
have been fully stated and cannot be
overstated. What are we going to do
with it ?"
Taking up the ''crisis" that sis upon
us'-as one involving "a trial, u test
and judgment for those who are in
it," 1t asks the question. Are the
nation, the government, the admins
tration prepared, or are they seriously
preparing to meet it p 'Is the pres
ent administration rightly minded and
fifty constituted" it asks, Ito take up
the task before the nation in the right
spirit and with the right methodist"
This is the key note by which the
harmony of the united people must
tuned, and by which the pulse of a
free people must beat in unison.
"This," it says, is the only question
which concerns us all, which all may
comprehend and all may help to
answer. 1t must not be covered or
obscured by any other of the thous-
and questions that are distraeting
public attention. And in no "carping
spirit" it puts this interrogatory.
"Can we trust the administration, as
it is now constituted and now minded,
to lead us wisely and we'll into the

foundation of the National Constitu-
ton, the Gibraltar of their hope, and
all will be well.

THE BEEF QUESTION.

Major General Nelson A. Miles was
the first witness before the court of
inquiry which has been called 10 in
vestigate the charges made by him
respecting the beef which was sup
piled to the army during the late war
with Spain. He declared that the
report in a New York paper of an in
terview purported to be held with
him on December 90, 1895 was erro-
neous in as far as representing him to
have said that he had overwhelmi ig
evidence that the refrigerated beef was
treated with chemic ils, when the feet
was, that his only evidence WAS that
contained in the reports of officers and
statements of men who claimed that
the beef had the odor of an embalmed
body; that they had seen tlIid in
iected into beef and other indications
of chemical treatm. ut.
He said he first heard complaints
against the beef at Ponce. The first
direct statement that it mad been
treated chemically came, be believed,
from DIR. Daily. He did not reco.lsct
whether DIR. Days report was vol
unteered or whether he had been Or
dered to investigate and report on the
meat. He read long summary of
one hundred letters received by him
at army headquarters, giving he var
ious terms in which the army meat
WAS characterized. These included
''embalmed, decomposed, injected,
poisoned, spoiled etc. In addition
he showed a summary of reports on

G. G.. Yeamans from the Yosemite re-
ported the condemnation of 5000

James Hamilton Lewis, $1,000 pounds.
Col. Gillespie took part in the in
quiry when Gen. Miles had finished
describing the nauseating qua tiles of
the canned and refrigerator beef.
Colonel Van Horne, of the Thirteenth
Infantry, Lieutenant Colonel Miner,
of the Sixth Infantry, Major Henry
