The city of Glasgow is reputed to be
one of the best governed municipalities
in the world. Its municipal council con-
ducts the ctys business on business prin-
ciples, and the citizens. to whom the
whole municipal plant belongs, obtain
the benefits. A correspondent of the
Outlook gives some of the figures on
which the scheme is carried out. A small
house of three rooms and a kitchen rents
at $3.50 year. and the tenant (who in
Glasgow has to pay the city taxes d.
recD is taxed $24 a year. This tax
would represent an assessed valuation
on the real estate of about $1,000, accord
ing to the Philadelphia tax rate. OF the
$24 thus paid, $1S is made up of munich
pal charges, and the balance consists of
charge of $3 as a poor tax, and So as
a school tax-the former rather high and
the latter rather low, according to Amer
lean ideas. There is an extra tax Of So
for water. But real estate which is as
sessed at only $1,000 would hardly rent
for $3.50 year (the tenant paying the
taxes), so the inference is that the prop
erty is worth more than that sum. and

Turkish Women Prohibited Society

The absence of social gatherings and
amusements among Turkish women often
appears extraordinary to English visitors.
Bat. they are not encouraged by the pow
ers that be, and il is not to be wondered
at that people are chary about inviting
friends to spend an evening with them
when the result may possibly be Danish
ment for life. A few days ago no less a
parsonage than the Kaimakam, or gov
ernor of Prinkipo, one of the Princes
islands, gave an entertainment to which
some 100 guests were invited, including
several Christians. Soon afterward he
received orders to leave at once and take
up new post at an almost unknown
place near kharput, in the interior, and
that because he had collected number
of people together without permission of
the Sultan. A party of soldiers came to
see that he left at once on receipt of the
order. and bundled him off. 1t is not
likely he will ever attempt a soiree again.

Modern Office Building Planned for
London.

London, Nov. 22.-An influential An
gl0-American syndicate has planned the
erection in the heart OF London of one
OF the largest and handsOmest office
buildings in the world at a cost of $40
100000. \ written Application Will By
submitted to the London county council
for a y99-year lease of n three-acre site
in the Strand. where the new street Is
being opened to connect the Strand and
Hofborn, the two greatest thoroughfares
OF the metropolis.
The site of the proposed building is
unrivaled in the metropolis. Ii has a
frontage on the Strand of 100 feet and
extensive fr0ntages on the adjoining
streets. Its area Is 125.000 square feet.
The new building will be close to the
law courts and midway between West
minister and the city. There is no more
valuable land in London. The drawings
which accompany the application show
a building seven stories in height, of steer
construction, with a sandstone exterior
and every possible modern convenience.
A special feature will be a spacious ro-
tunda in the center of the building, form
ing a general rendezvous.
1t is said that the interior decorations
will be handsomer than those of any
other building in the world. Fifty thou
sand dollars will be expended on the
dome Of the rotunda.
The basement will contain safety de-
posit vaults, restaurant and the ma
chinery for running thirty elevators. The
first floor will contain banking rooms and
stores, the upper floors offices. The rent
ing space available will be 100000
square feet, embracing 5000 rooms.
Rents will include heat, light, cleaning
and telephone. No other building in Lon
don will offer such facilities. 1t will be
open day and night.
The estimated cost of maintenance is
$4,000 year. This includes the wages
of an army of 200 scrubwomen. 1t is
expected that the construction Of the new
building will take thirty months. The
promoters are anxious to obtain a free
hold site, but the county council never
sells its land, though willing to grant a
lease for the longest term allowed by law

Giant Snow Mushrooms.

Vaughan Cornish, f. II. G. s., who has
recently made journey across Canada
and British Columbia to study there the
surface forms of snow, describes in Pear
sons Magazine the great snow mush-
rooms that he discovered in the upper
valleys of the Selkirk mountains. Mush-
rooms of great variety in shape and size,
he says, are produced by the large flakes
of sticky snow falling on the fiat tops
of tree stumps. Some of the mushrooms
have long stems-I noticed one on tree
trunk twenty-five feet in height-others
are little more than bosses showing above
the snow on the ground. Mushrooms on
short stalks always have hOllows beneath
them-into which one may easily fall
for their caps shelter the ground beneath
from its proper share of snow. The
mushroom that formed on the 25-foot
trunk measured II feet G inches in diam
eter. The diameter of the tree itself at
the top was but four feet, so that the
snow projected beyond the trunk for four
feet three inches. Its depth was about

Yankee Thrift.

Speaking of the trade in war relics
just after the close of the Spanish war,
a Havana correspondent of the Boston
Transcript writes: Zone live American
we know of gave it out that he had
bought the last Spanish flagstaff from
Moro castle: a week or two later-as
soon as shipments could be got from the
states-this same man was selling walk
ing sticks said to have been turned from
the aforesaid flagstaff, Some of these
sticks were of oak, other of ash: some
were mahogany and others OF ebony
but nobody in those days questioned lit
tie things like that. The man might
have made fortune had he confined
his business to walking sticks. He
didn't, though. He began Offering small
articles of household furniture, then
larger ones, and at last. becoming real
bold, he tried TO float a general furniture
factory-all out of wood from this large
flagstaff. That was his death knell. and
though the man is alive now. his sales
are few and far between. and are lin
tied to walking sticks again"

Eggs valued by Collectors.

A peculiar fact in collecting birds eggs
is the wide difference in values of eggs
of the same family of birds, For in
stance, there is the great family of
hawks. Some hawks eggs are worth
only few cents each and other hawks
eggs find ready sale at So, So and 81
each. 1t makes 500 bill look dilapi-
dated to buy Il complete set of even
Western hawks eggs, while a full set of
all known hawks eggs cost upward Of
5000. The eggs of marsh hawk, a red
backed hawk and a copper hawk may be
bought for 20 cents each, and the broad
winged hawks eggs will bring 81 each
the world over. The eggs of SwainsOn's
hawk and the buff-breasted hawk are
worth $50 each.-New York Evening

HER SALARY THE HIGHEST.
Miss Lillian Norton the Best Paid
Woman in Uncle Sans Employ.

The highest-salaried woman employee
in any government department in Wash
ington is Miss Lillian A. Norton of Mas
sachusetts. She has just been appoint
ed superintendent of postal finance in
the pOstofice department in place of a
man. Albert W. Bingham. who died
about ten days ago after holding that
post for more than thirty years.
1t isn't a wonderfully high-salaried
post after ALL though, compared with
some of those held by men. 1t pays
$2250 year, but that is excellent pay
in Washington for woman, and Miss
Norton is envied, naturally, by her sis
ter employees of Uncle Sam. She has
been in the government service for fif-
teen years. beginning as a stenographer
in thes dead letter Office. At Mr.. Bing-
hams death she was the chief clerk of
to this post simply because she knew
more about the work of the division
than any person in 1t.
She has accepted her elevation in a
modest, sensible way. Speaking TO a re-
porter about ii she said:
"Of course, | am very much pleased.
| feel that it is Il great compliment that
Gen. Madden has paid me. | am the
highest-salaried woman in the employ
of the executive departments here, and
that is a distinction TO be proud of.
There may be assistant postmasters of
my sex who receive salary as high or
higher. but no other woman in the gov
eminent departments can rival me-
There is a possibility, however, that
Miss Norton's incumbency may be only
temporary. SO good a post is greatly
in demand, and a man had been chosen
to fill the post. For some reason his
appointment at this time was not
deemed advisable. but il may be made
early in the new year.

is charged to that state. though she
