Copied His Name,

A gentleman travelling in Europe en-.
gagged the services of a courier. Ar
irving at an inn in Austria the traveller
asked his servant to enter his name in
accordance with the police regulations
of that country. The man replied that
he had already anticipated the order,
and registered him as an American
gentleman of means. But how did
you write my name?" asked the master.
II can't exactly pronounce it; but |
copied 1t carefully from your portman-
teau, sir" But 1t Is not there" was
the reply. Bring me the book" The
register was brought, and revealed, in
stead of a very plain English name
Of two syllables, the following porten-
tous entry: Monsieur Warranted
Solid Leather"

upon this tiny plot a building which
this vast sum.
All these problems made the work
Of the architects peculiarly difficult
They planned an eighteen-story build
Ing, It's foundation resting on bedrock
rising 900 feet above the sidewalk
The architects planned one office for
each floor, and in order that these Of
fees might not be spoiled by pillars and
dividing walls omitted all internal col
umns, relying upon a steel frame, sci
entifcally braced, to withstand the
wind or the earthquake, for all sup
port. This frame will be covered with
skin Of stone.
1t required some ingenuity to utilize
every inch of space, but this was es-
sential, for land at 5000 a square foot
may not be wasted. On each floor are
to be toilet rooms for men and women,
telegraph, telephone and electric light
wires, power, ticker service, messenger
and police calls. Each floor Is to be
ventilated with a specially designed APP
paratus, which keeps the air pure and
cool without opening windows, for in
such building draughts would be in
evitable were the widows alone to be
relied upon for ventilation.
The plot on which this building Is to
stand is about the most valuable bit
Of land in the world. The original
owner held 1t for a long time, and
many years ago would-be buyer offer
ed to pave the plot with silver dollars
and give them as its price. The owner
was at first inclined to accept this
offer, but on figuring on 1t a while
said he would not sell for less money
than would pave it with gold dollars.
This proposition was rejected. Many
offers have been made since, but none
Of them came up to the owners idea Of
its value until some st. Louis capital
lists, who now own 1t, made the offer
Of 81, 100000, which was accepted. So
far as can be learned, no other piece Of
land ever brought so high a price.
The total investment will be S., 1Oo,-
900. Owners Of Office buildings expect
to get 10 per cent a year in rents,
which, after paying interest and ex-
penses Of management, leaves them
only about four per cent. Therefore
these owners must get $4,000 a year
for the eighteen floors, or more than
$4,000 a floor. This means that for
less than 1900 square feet of office
room tenant must pay more than $23
a square foot

IllneSs.-A famous physician upon

ceaseless intrOspection in which sc
many of the rising generation of nerv.

Not Reduced to That.

The traveller through a part Of New
Hampshire where the stones seemed to
be especially thick stopped to comment
TO her driver on a man who was at
work in a field the surface Of which
was little more than a mass Of stones
of all sizes and shapes.
Eyes, Jake's having a hard time of
it," said the driver, who apparently
knew every one in that region. Hes
been at that field now for two years,
off'n' on. The wall all came out of
the ground, as you might say, and you
see there's still consid'ra material
left to work on"
II should think he'd be perfectly dis
couraged, poor man, to own such a
piece of property" said the traveller
"Oh, he doesn't own it, ma am, Jake
doesn't" said the driver, hastily.
Jake isn't so poor as all that 1t be-
longs to Squire Farnum, and he's hired
Jake to clear it, that's all"

Henry Ward Beecher once spoke OF
the frying pan as 'the modern image
that fell from heaven that all men are
In duty bound to worship"
At the risk of dethroning this idol we
strongly recommend that sausage be
baked in the oven and not fried in the
pan. Our selected castings are exceed
lngly delicate and burst in frying, and
the sausages do not present nice ap
pearance; besides, they are not as vel
cooked and the flavor is not as good
when the sausages are fried. If you
want perfect sausages, bake them In
the oven.

After All, There Is No Occasion for
Mans COnceit.
1t Is the general idea that man Is a
wonderful work-a perfect workout,
as Haeckel and comparative anatomy
point out, the human body is, as a mat
ter of fact, structure at once incom-
plete and redundant; a structure lack
ing many necessaries and crowded
with superfluities, with obsolete mus
cles and nerves, which have become
shriveled and paralyzed because there
Is no longer any use for them. 1t is
amusing to think of improvements that
might be made in the human body,
writes pessimist.
Take the eyes, The two eyes are
very good in their way, but if there
were three of them how much better
it would be. If man had an eye in the
back of his head, as certain insects
have he would never be run down,
never be stabbed from behind, pever
be kicked. Man, with three eyes, could
see and do twice as much as now.
