OLD AND NEW BUILDINGS.

The great glory of Chesterfield house,
London, is q marble staircase, each step
of which is formed of single block
more than 20 feet long.
An important work is soon to be be-
gun at Spalato, in Dalmatia. This win
be the building of a central museum in
which the collection at present scat
tered among four buildings will be
brought together, including the objects
found in Salona and in the palace Of
Diocletian.
The architect, NJ. Redon, who has
charge Of the Louvre, has resolved to re-
store the Tuileries garden to the condi-
ton in which it was in the days of La
Notre. AS the palace does not exist to-
day, it is impossible to say whether the
old artificial style will be more pleasing
or not. i
Students of architecture may have
often wondered why the two towers of
Notre Dame, at Paris, were not of the
same size. A writer in one of the Eng
lish magazines has found rather curl
Gus explanation. 1t appears that when
the cathedral was built it was the cathe-
dral of suffragan bishop. who was not
entitled to two towers Of equal height
and for centuries the bishop of Paris
was suffragan to the bishop of Sens.

REGARDING FOOD.

Sailed fish and meats are hard on the
btomach.
Apples not only are good, but contain
medicinal juices.
Rice forms the food of one-third Of
the human race.
Oatmeal is strong food and builds
up the muscle. 1t should be eaten to-
gether with bread.
Plums should not be touched unless
wholly ripe. and apricots are richer
than peaches.
Cheese. if partaken Of sparingly. viii
not hurt one. If toasted it is rendered
rather indigestible.
Butter, If eaten moderately, will not
prove hurtful. The system needs oils
and pure butter furnishes these.
Potatoes as a food vary in valve, ac-
cording to the way they are cooked.
Roasted they are in the best form for
eating. Peasants eat potatoes to-
gether with milk. and are correct in
principle, as the milk furnishes the ele-
ments lacking in the tubers.

Chicago, July 12.-Trustees of the
Chicago sanitary district will memori-

the drainage canal to secure the CO.
operation of the general government
and the state of Illinois in making the
