NEW PUBLIC ARCHITECTURE.
It Has Not Been Easy to Secure bu

It Has Not Been Easy to Secure but
 is Arriving.
 The Supervising Architect of the Treasury has invivted Northwestern architects to compete for furnishing plans for the new Federal building at Superior This indicates an interesting new departure. It will be remembered that Congress passed law some years ago authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to throw open the plans for public buildings to private competition instead of having them drawn in the office of the Supervising Architect of the Treasury. The purpose was to make these buildings the expression of the best spirit of national architecture instead of mere hack work by poorly paid employees of a subordinate bureau. But the law was merely permissive, and the Treasury Department has not cared to go far with it. Competition has been employed for some costly and monu- mental building, like the New York Custom House, but for the most part. public buildings have been ground out in the old machine fashion.
 The reasons were various. The treasury didn't like to give up a big lump of patronage. It didn't want to be bothered with lot of outside archi- tects, not always familiar with the needs of government work. The de- partment had the notion, too, that it could do the work far cheaper than private architects. That may have been true when building of this kind was dull and the supervising architect could hire all the draughtsmen he wanted at moderate rate, but the building boom of the last few years has changed all that. The last con- gress appropriated an unusual amount of money for public buildings, and a large number of plans are to be drawn soon. The supervising architect finds that he cannot get men to do the work in competition with the higher emolu ments of private work. His chief draughtsman has just left him to earn three times as much in private prac- tice, and he can hardly hold enough as- sistants to keep the office going.
 As result the bureau is considering largeh use of the power given it by congress to employ private architects. It is undeniable that this would elevate the standard of public architecture, and it is thought that it would not in- crease the cost greatly. The draught- ing division could be dispensed with, to offset the payment of commissions, but the cost of superintendence would be increased. There is a notion that it would be hard to keep politics out of the competitions, but this is based on the trouble politicians have made in a few big competitions, like that for the New York custom house. These have been exceptional plums for the patron

SOME CLOSE FIGURING.

Economy is sometimes the soul of wealth, and it is often the mother of many virtues. But there can be excess sive economy, and some will think that certain Maine man has carried econ- omy a little too far. He wasn't too economical to get married, and when his wife died he was generous enough to put stone at the head of her grave. His parents died recently. He wanted their graves properly marked, but he didn't feel that he could afford to get new stone. So he figured and calcu- lated, and the result was that he reck- oned that he could get along without buying a new stone. He had the stone that was erected to the memory of his wife eight years ago taken up. Then he had the letters erased and the names and ages of his parents graven on the stone instead. He argued that it was better to let his wife go without stone than both of his parents, especially as one stone would do for both of them and would not answer for his wife and either parent.
 This is pretty close figuring. Con- necticut Yankees are famous for calcu- lating, but we know of nothing in Con- necticut that can equal this Maine Yan- kee's reasoning and action.

 government is pretty paternal govern

 Barrow will get their letters regularly twice during the winter months. In the past they got one or two deliveries a year, and they were at irregular inter-
 vaIs, depending on the sailing of ves- sells of the revenue cutter service. Un- sels would arrive at Point Barrow in tine middle summer and probably anoth- GI ldIC III LIlE lclIis Is ClLlSSoJ ca "

The Revue Scientifique says that some Scotch herdsmen in Patagonia a number of years ago imported some Scotch collies to aid them in guarding their sheep, and when they first came in they were as we'll trained and dociie as their useful and intelligent breed commonly are. All went on well for some time, but after a while loud la ments were heard from the shepherds. The collies instead of protecting the sheep were eating them. What had happened? The shepherds had left a number of the dogs in the woods, and they had bred there, and, reverting to the wolfish ways from which ages of training had weaned them, looked on the sheep as a, provision which nature had made for them, and proceeded to consume them accordingly. These backsliding beasts hunt in packs and

The coroner was nonplussed at the nonchalence, if not the amount of business, of the lady practitioner and remarked to his sub- ordinate: T wish you had served the summons, then we could have dealt with her as the law permits. Go and explain to the lady that even doctor esses are not exempt from the opera tions of the law.

! The manufacture of cigars and cigar cites has become an important industry try in Germany. the number of those engaged in cigarmaking in 1902 being 175,00O. This work is largely carried on in villages instead of in cities. Those who till the soil live for the most part in villages during the winter and make cigars at exceedingly low wages. Thus 7 it happens that the city of Mannheim. which is an important center of the trade, has not a single cigar factory. Nearly half the raw tobacco imported is from Holland.

During the Czar's recent visit to Moscow, the populace had an unusual opportunity to see him at close quar- ters. He was taking a walk, with members of his family, on the wall of the Kremlin. At the Nikolski gate he had the choice of returning or going down into the street and up again to the wall on the other side. He chose the latter alternative, and walked, without military escort, through dense concourse of his subjects. These were wild with joy at seeing the inn perial couple among them; many be- gan to sob, and the Czar himself had tears in his eyes.
