.Art'S Tribute to Dewey,
Runran in design and PierrRd
uitlr Side Openings.

In the triumphal arch and colonnade
which is to be erected at Madison
Square for the Dewey celebration,
New York City is to have q work
which, in the opinion of the National
Sculpture Society, will surpass any
thing that has before been realized
for such purpose in sculpture dec
Grafton.
In general plan the arch will re-
semble the Arch of Titus. The Ro
mau design is altered, however, to Fl t
it for location at the intersection of
four streets by having the main piers
pierced on the east and west axis Of
the arch by smaller openings, as is
done in the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
This leaves really four piers to the
arch, for the decoration OF which a
series of bss reliefs and groups is sug-
gested, depicting the call to arms. the
battle, the return of the soldiers and
peace, At the sides of these groups
may be placed heroic figures Of great
American naval officers. Secretary
Long, at the request Of the society,
suggested for representation IN those
places the name OF Paul Jones,
Decatur, Hull, Perry, McDonough,
Farragut, Porter and Cushing.
Over the main entrance will
be bas reliefs symbolizing
the commercial Importance of New
York. For the group surmounting
the arch has been suggested ship
with figure of Victory in the bow
drawn by four sea-horses. The plans
include also a reviewing stand which
shall be part Of the general scheme
of decoration for Madison Square. 1t
is planned to have it decorated with
groups symbolic of Greater New York
and the five boroughs, and with flags
to make it contrast in color with the
masonry and sculpture effects of the
arch.

There is the best possible training for
q young man who desires to become
an accurate writer and q reporter OF
events. In the city one rarely if ever
meets the people he writes about, and
there are no consequences to be feared
on that score. But in the country
there is a personal accounting in store
for the scribe who garbes or errs in
statement of facts. This knowledge
drills the habit Of accuracy into one
as nothing else will.

A Colossal Memorial.

The most colossal monument on the
continent of Europe and second alone
in dimensions to the Liberty Statue in
New York is that of the famous Turull
bird recently erected on the summit
of the Banhida Mountain in County
Komorn, Hungary, in commemoration
of the Hungarian millennium, which
was celebrated with stupendous
amount of patriotic enthusiasm in
1896 in all portions of the kingdom.
The site is we'll chosen, seeing that
the monument occupies the spot
where Arpad slew Swatopluk, the
Slavic chieftain, on his invasion of the
Hungary of to-day. It was mainly
due to the exertions OF the famous
Magyar romancer, Jokai Nor, that the
collection for the monument was
started. This bird, fable has it. has
played an extraordinary part in the
destinies of the nation, so that the
poorest, moved to enthusiasm by the
eloquence of the popular poet. con.

Sources of fweil-Known Proverbs.

Nine persons out of ten attribute
the well.kncwn expression, "Man pro-
poses, but God disposes," to the
Bible, but it was the :good Thomas a
Kempis who said it in his limitation
of Christ" Another often used ex-
preston is "Comparisons are odious.
This is properly, so far as English
literature is concerned, attributed to
John Fortescue, who fourished in the
middle OF the fifteenth century, but
but we find it in Cervantes, Marlowe,
Hurton and Herbert, while Haywood
has it among his proverbs. Shakes
peare in his Much Ado About Moth
ing" paraphrased it into "Compari-
sons are odorous," and in this form
the saying has almost as much cur
rency as in the original. "Spare the
rod and spoil the child' is generally
thought to be a text from the Bible.
And in substance it is, for King Solo,
mon said, HE that spareth the rod
hateth his son." but it is found in
Buffers "Hudibras" in the neater
form in which it is usually quoted

The idea!

Nearly every one thinks she can
pick out a bridal couple, 10 matter
how sensibly they may dress or how
we'll they may succeed in pretending
Indifference; but certain ways of de-
Gliding were enumerated by woman
the other day. At the summer hotel
she declared that the man and woman
who sat nearest her at table were on
their wedding tour, but the other
woman didn't believe it. They didn't
look at all bride and brIdegroom-like
to her. But the first woman had her
proofs; for one thing, they talked on
such general topics, and were so care
fnl to keep the conversation we'll 60
ing all the time, and in the next place,
she overheard the bride telling her
husband that she never ate pie. The
idea! Wouldn't he know she never
ate pie, and just how she liked her
coffee, if they had been married long?

The Cemetery Problem.

There are no less than forty-eight
cemeteries in New York City and its
vicinity, where lie buried the bones
of over 1900, 900 men, women and
children. Over $4,000 are buried
annually in Calvary, about 5000 in
Potters Field, .4500 in Greenwood,
5000 in Holy Cross, 1900 in the
Lutheran, about 1000 in Mount
Olivet, about 1000 in Most Holy
Trinity, over 1900 in Woodlawn,
about 1900 in Cypress Hills and
nearly 1000 in the Evergreens. The
combined area of our cemeteries is
5000 acres. The total acreage of our
parks is only 66O0. By adopting the

A few days ago the foot passengers
down Broadway and across the City
Hall Park were watching with great
interest the figure of O man who was
engaged in painting these lofty poles,
and the question naturally arose as to
how this perilous work was done. The
answer will be found in the accom-
panying engraving, which shows one
of these aerial artists at work. His
climbing apparatus is one Of the very
simplest kind, aud consists of two
short lengths of rope, each of which
is provided with q slip moose which
encircles the flagstaff. The upper
rope carries an ordinary "bo'sun's
chair"-a plain piece of board which
forms a seat astride of which the
painter sits-and the lower rope ends
in a simple foot-stirrup. In climbing
the pole, the weight is first thrown on
the oot-stirrup, thereby releasing the
moose Of the upper rope, which is then
slid up the pole. The weight is now
thrown on the seat and the stirrup
moose being released of weight is
drawn few inches up the pole. By
thus throwing the weight alternately
on either rope and Stacking the other,
the painter is enabled to climb to the
top of the pole. The painting is done
from the top downward; the order OF
slipping the ropes being, of course,
now reversed. Underneath one end
of the seat is hung the paint pot, and
O dab of putty for filling up cracks and
knot holes is stuck conveniently upon
the came end of the seat.
