"I make more money in a day than Michael Angelo made in a month, ." said q popular illustrator. "Ive been studying up the wages those old chaps got. It is amazing.
 Michael Angelo was paid $40 a month while doing the cartoons of the battle of Pisa, and Leonardo, who helped him, got the same rate. They were both docked for lateness and off days, but there was no overtime allow ance. Correggio got for his Christ In the Garden S7.25. Carracci's 'Resur- rection' only brought the painter $6.50. Albert Durer for his pen and ink DOT traits was not paid in cash. A bag of flour, a hundred oysters. pair of boots-Durer would gladly do your portrait on such a system of remunera- tion.

THE EIGHTH WONDER.
Hudson River Bridge to Be an Ex-
 traorGinary Structure.

The magnitude of the projected Hud- son river bridge does not at first strike the minimizing person, but when it does strike it comes with breathless, aerial significance. It will be the eighth wonder of the world. and the eyes of foreign engineers are turned to New York with expectancy.
 The plans of the new structure are practically those of the original North river project. It was long step from a 1,700 foot span (then and still the longest in the world) to over 5000 feet, the distance to be covered between the piers on either side of the broad Hud son. To make bridge almost double the length of { Brooklyn bridge meant building the towers nearly twice as high, and in order to allow for addi- tioral roadways and tracks the bridge of double length must be also twice as wide. Thus the proposition involved was really very much more than build ing a bridge with double length span, for three dimensions had to be con sidered. making the entire structure nearly eight times as large as the Brooklyn bridge.
 At first other engineers were loath to believe that modern materials made possible so great bridge. But the en- tire profession is now agreed that the bridge is possible and practicable. and their estimates of construction cost vary between S35.OOO.OO0 and so 0O0,- coo, depending upon the numbe tracks and the carrying capacity d
 mated. These figures do not include
 cost of approaches or right of way.
 It is an astonishing feat that is con- templated. this of suspending between steel towers distant more than half a mile eight great railway tracks and four driveways. says Charles II. COch- rane in the New Broadway Magazine. As triumph Of engineering the work will have no equal. There will be four stupendOus towers at the piers. each suggesting in appearance the celebrat- ed Eifel tower These four towers will be about s0U feet from the foun- dation stones to top. They will carry the eight mammoth steel cables that will curve gracefully across the noble Hudson and support the two deck steel truss bridge 14O feet wide. capable of transporting 10000 persons in one hour without undue crOwding.

That difficulty in securing recruits and in getting soldiers to re-enlist is partially due to the opportunity of re- ceiving higher pay in civil life, there is no doubt, says a writer in Army and Navy Life That so many men desert soon after enlistment is due to the fact that instead of being called upon to perform purely military duty they are put at hard, manual labor for small pay, is equally certain. Most men who enlist in the army do SC with more or less pride in the uniform and a desire to participate in the 'pomp and splendor of military pa geant." When, in the place of natty uniform. they receive suit of over alls; and instead of rife or sabre they are given the tools of the laborer or mechanic, the disenchantment is too sudden not to cause dissatisfac- tion. Knowing little or nothing of the consequences of such an act, ire quently they desert. The result is de- pleted ranks. and purely military duty must he partially or wholly suspended to enable men to do the policing nec- essary to sanitation.

It is the talk among politicians who are in the know that developments of a most sensa ational character may grow out of the Twins investigation of the Ryan-Belmont traction interests in New York. Indeed, it is said, that if the probe goes deep enough one of the Now York candidates for the pres idential nomination may have his hopes blasted for all time by the pro duction of evidence tending to show that he is the political creature of cer- tain monied interests now in excess lively bad repute. says a New York writer.

A MARRIAGE FICTION.
The Old Time Motion That Matches
 Are Made In Heaven.

The polite fiction obtains that mar riages are made in heaven. This TO- mantle viewpoint is particularly popu- lar in America. where 1t is held to be highly improper for parents to make any move toward securing good hus- bands for their daughters and immod- est for girls to manifest any interest in the subject themselves.
 The conventional theory is that the matter is on the knees of the gods anc that in due season husbands will be provided like mamma in the wilderness for sustenance of the faithful Unfor- tunately this miracle does not always come off for every woman. The supply of mama gives out. There are no: enough husbands to go around, and these are unevcnly divided Some wO- men get three or four. while others get none. But neither the old maids nor their parents realize that the reason that they did not share fin the dispen- sation was their own fault, because they did not put themselves, as old fashioned MethOdists used to say, in an attitude to receive the blessing Dorothy Dix in Ainslee's.

Too much has been said and writ ten already about the cocktail in cident of MT Fairbanks reception to the president, but the friends of MT Fairbanks are much exercised over the appearance of an article in a reli- giOus paper in which the blame for this affair is put upon the shoulders of an intimate woman friend of the family. Doubtless the story was in spired by some misguided friend who thought thus to shield the vice-presi- dent from criticism, not realizing, ap- parently, that he would be placed, by such an excuse, in a position wholly intOlerable to any man and all the more extraordinary as the hospitality of the Fairbanks establishment in Washington is famous throughout off cial and social circles, where it is well known that wines are served at their delightful dinners and punch is served at their popular receptions.
