MODERN ARCHITECTURE.

Writing in the Booklover's Magazine of the modern
office building, popularity known the ''skyscraper."
Mr.. Albert W. Barker dilates happily the construct
i've genius that succeeds in combining utility and
beauty with remarkable originality. THE office build
ing of moderate size" he says 1.-The modern hotel the
store building, and even the dwellng-hou all owe
to the stringent demands Of the skyscraper than
to any other other single long series of dis
coveries and inventions in method, material and de-
sign, in which simplicity and economy are combined
with completeness and efficiency"
The skyscraper is design born of necessity. In
its majesty it e1emplifes the old, old saying that
necessity is the mother of invention" The skycleav

would be little difference in respect of present
possibilities, between him and his white equal.

WEAKENED PATRIOTISM.

Mr. Cleveland afiirms that patriotism is not dead.
bnt is still able to foster and bless the best American
citizenship But" he asks, lis there not to
the contentious between the employers and the en-
ployed that they either unconscious of its re-
straints seek avoid its exactons by giving lodg
ment to the deudins notion that their quarres do not
the general good?'
The suggestion is worth considering and in
broader application than that which Mr. Cleveland
makes. May it not be applied generally to disturbing
governmental sphere, and to elements which hold in
dividual above considerations of public
national welfare?
Where for instance in the present political leader
ship of the nation is there evidence Of that higher pa
triOtsm which Is able to foster and bless the best
American citizenship? In the administration of Amer
ica's Government conducted with the dominant pur
calism allied with and largely submissive interests
inimca to industrial and economic welfare, higher pa
triotism any patriotism worthy the name finds
place.
That which is mistaken for patriotism is too often
bombast and gunpowder and hurrah. 1t is some
thing partaking of noisy and ipsincere tribute to
former patriotism. The patriotism of to-day the pa
triosm of peace love of country for country's and
not merely for wars sake, is too little of faith and
not enough of principle. Conviction and conflict
principle forced into municipal and national admins
traon and Industrial affairs would speedily bring
lief from the nations great and imminent evils.

MANY long, long year ago,
Nantucket shippers had a plan
OF finding out, though lying low"
How near New York their schooners ran
They creased the lead before it fell,
And then, by sounding through the night
Knowing the soil that stuck SO well,
They always guessed their reckoning right.
A skipper gray, whose eyes were dim,
Could tell. by tasting, just the spot,
And SO below he'd "douse the glim''-
After. of course. his something hot"
Snug in his berth at o'clock,
This ancient skipper might be found;
No matter how his craft would rock,
He slept, for skipperS maps are sound.
The watch on deck would now and then
Run down and wake him with the lead:
He'd up and taste, and tell the men
How many miles they went ahead.

NORDICA'S DIVORCE.
Musical World Surprised by
Suit Of Great Vocalist.
WANTS HER FREEDOM At ANY COST
Hungarian Tenor Doeme, Husband
of Artist. Said 10 Have
Become Infatuated with IA Pa
risian Singer of Note.

NEW YORK, Dee. 12.-The musical
world, already greatly shocked by the
news that Nine. Lillian Nordica has
sued her husband, Ioltan Docme, a IA
nous Hungarian tenor. for divorce, will
he still more surprised to learn that the
principal correspondent named in the
case is said TO be one of the most celc-
brated singers who ever appeared in
opera or concert in this city.
Because of the prominence of this
woman in the world of music and art
and her conspicuous position before the
public at the present time every effort
is being made to keep her name out OF
the case.
Nine. Nordica and the correspondent
were formerly great friends. Under
Maurice Grau they shared honors at
the Metropolitan Opera House for sew
eral seasons and their attachment for
one another was Il matter of remark.
1t was a year ago that Nine. Nordica
first noticed the growing friendship be-
tween her husband and her friend. For
awhile she thought nothing of it; then
when further evidence of an intimacy
between them came to her she could no
longer stave off the inevitable and con
frontcd her husband with her suspi-
cions. Herr Doeme denied the charge,
declaring that it was a libel on a good
woman but when Nine. Nordica pre-
scented her proofs her husband shriv-
eled up and was next heard of singing
in Paris.
Nine. Nordica never had a chance to
face her rival, for that woman, warned,
it is said. by Doeme, 0 went to Paris
herself. In Paris the intimacy between
Doeme and the woman was Il matter of
comment. They We're seen much To-
gether and made very little secret of
their close friendship.
Nine. Nordica's furious Jealousy,
which developed when she first diScQv-
cred the truth, gave way to an immov-
able resolution to be free at any cost.
even the cost of her husbands and her
former friends regulations.

artist named in the suit has been de

Media.
The two singers have been friends
for years. They are each too great to
be rivals and have never been such.
When Nine. Nordica first determined
to bring action against her husband for
divorce she consulted her friend Melba
and received her sympathy and friend
ly tears as a solace in her time of trou-
BILE.
Doeme and his wife appeared to be a
very happy couple. Nine. Nordica
seemed proud of his good looks and his
fine voice. and he seemed very proud of
her. Their domestic life was said to be
ideal and was the admiration Of the
Metropolitan Opera House set for sew
