as compared with construction methods in
other cities. There is always present the
temptation, especially to those who build
houses to sell, ito skin the job as it is
called, as they know before the defects are
discovered the heavy cost of repairs which
building of this class makes necessary will
fail on the shoulders of others. The men
who furnish money for, buildings of this
character, as well as the builders and the
architects, are well known to the trade and
to some extent to the general public so
that it is possible on inquiry to learn what
is the general reputation of the men con-
cerned In the erection of houses offered for
sale.

Appraisal of the Maria Teresa.

praisal of the captured Spanish cruiser
Maria Teresa and of all the war material
recovered from the other ships engaged in
the battle of Santiago bay. This step is due
to question raised as to the right of prize
money growing out Of the capture of this
ship. The Teresa was the one cruiser raised,
and although she went adrift while on her
way to this country, and is an abandoned
hulk on Cat Island. 1t is claimed in some
quarters that the raising was sufficient to
warrant the payment of prize money. The
appraisal OF the ship viii be based on her
value at the time she was raised. The
property to be appraised includes the cam
non and equipment recovered from the
other Spanish ships The board which APP

the result that he offers now to erect the

1t is believed that this advance, instead
of retarding the growth in the volume of

ANEcDorE OF THE IRON DUKE.

Justin Mccarthy, in his Reminiscen- ces, published by Harper & Brothers, gives an amusing account of a speech which the victor of Waterloo delivered ill the house of lords. The duke had given his opinion on a certain meas ure under consideration, and an1bher peer was criticising his remarks. In the course of his criticism the peer Ventured on the observation that he feared 'the iliustriCus duke" had not quite understood the measure now be- fore the house. This drew the illus trious duke, and, springing to his feet to reply, struck the table with an in dignant gesture.
 My lords," he said, 'tthe noble and learned lord has said that I don1 uu- derstand this bill. Well, my lords, all can say is that I read the bill once. that read it twice, that I real it chrea times, and if after that I don't under stand the bill, why, then, my lords, all l have tci say is that must be a damned stupid fellow" Then the duke of Wellington resumed his seat. and that" says MT.

 cult in his religion. He said, how. ever that he did not come here on mission of religion, but fer the pur-
 pose of furthering his researches in archaeology. He spoke briefly of his experiences with the Navajos. In a conversation with a chief he learned
 that there was no natural antipathy existing between the Indians and the whites The chief explained that the
 white men who first came to the Navajo camlps sccffed at the Indians when they learned their religion A religion is a delicate subject When white man goes into an Indian camp and witnesses the Indians in their nat ural state, he becomes unfavorably impressed. He may remark: Look at the dirty things Instead he should look at himself and say: 'TThank God, ann clean The Indians as we'll as all classes of people have their phi lcscphers. It makes little difference what a mans nationality may be; if he is a philosopher he cannot be an enemy to amy other philosopher in the world. In his lecture he enumerated many kinds of people, pointing out that they adhered to the same prac- tical beliefs although they would not admit the similarity.

End Of Trouble.

On the seventh day of the month OF
Schawwal, in the year 1884 Of the He.
gira-which is the Ara bian way of writ
ing December 25, 1s39-the sultan Of
Oman, whose name was Seyyid Saood,
Bin Sultan Bin Ahmed, addressed a
gracious letter to Ibis excellency, Mar
tin Van Buren,. president of the United
States of North America" in which he
informed the president that he had
sent by the royal ship "Sultanee" faw
tritles as token of friendship and good
feeling. These trifies consisted of two
Arabian horses and their groom, one
bottle of altar of roses, two pieces OF
gold, five demijohns of rose-water, one
Persian carpet, one gold ornament with
a silk tassel, four camel's-hair shawls,
one gold-mounted sword, two large
pearls, string of $50 pearls, one gold
plate, one bottle of diamonds, one gold
snuff-box studded with precious stones,
and one box of mixed precious stones
and diamonds. Under the constitution
the president is prohibited from accept
ing personal gift from any foreign
state or power, and as the sultan's gift
had arrived in New York and the COM
mander of the "Sultanee" would not
leave without presenting his masters
offerings, an embarrassing compliea-
ton was the outcome. The matter was
finally referred to congress, and after
three months of correspondence, red
tape, diplomacy and legislation the
sultan's Christmas presents were final
ly accepted; and then the president was
put to the trouble of selling the horses.
the shawls and the rose-water. while
Uncle Sam was given the further
trouble of finding suitable place to
store the remaining gifts, and was
afterward put to great expense in cap
turing the thief who carried off the en-
tire collection in bag and was only
caught after a long chase. - Ladies

It was not without reason that the
Greeks called beautiful woman "cow-

sey COW has borne Greek name, Hell
las, never saw cows comparing in beau
ty with the modern Jersey-so fine and
trim in shape and SO dainty in color and
shading, or with eyes so large and
liquid. For many years it was disputed
whether the breed were not cross be-
tween the cow and deer. The Jersey ss
much surpasses her ancient progenitors
in the richness and abundance of her
milk and cream as in beauty. At the
worlds fair at Chicago, il 1893, the
Jersey, putting aside all question of
beauty, challenged all other breeds for
quantity and quality of the butter. and
was triumphant winner over all COM
