IS So STORIES THE LIMIT?

Special Correspond to The Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-Has the
limit at last been reached in sky
scrapers?
New Workers are asking them
selves this question almost daily as
they look at the huge tower of the
Metropolitan Life building on Madi-
son square. The city has at last
taken up the question. Building
commissioners are now making
tests and experiments to ascertain
just how high 1t is safe to go with
skyscrapers.
The present opinion seems to be
that hereafter the building permits
will allow the construction only OF
buildings not to exceed As stories
in height.
If such law should become eff
fective the Meti'-,,1.;I r,ru, .,,--
which IS 81 stories above the side
walk, would remain the highest
building in the world. 1t would
probably then refererred to as one
of the seven wonders" as well as
a good an advertisement for the in
surance company that erected it.
The Metropolitan tower, all told,
is 1924 feet high. In the tower
alone, 5000 tons of iron were used.
The entire building has over 25
acres of floor space.

BY COUNT LEO ToLsToY
Trust yourselves, youths and
maidens who are emerging from
childhood, when first the questions
arise in your soul:
What am /? Why do | exist :?
Why do all who surround me ex-
-ist?- And chiefiy-most agitating
of questions-am l and are all
around me living as we should do?
Trust yourself then, also, when
the replies to these questions which
suggest themselves to you do not
agree with those impressed on you
in childhood, and do not agree with
the life that you and the people
around you are living. Do not fear
this disagreement, but, on the con.
trary, be assured that in this dis
agreement between you and all that
surrounds you is expressed the very
best that is in you; that divine prin-
ciple whose manifestation in life
constitutes not only the chief but
the sole meaning of our existence.
Trust, then, not yourself-the in
dividual Bill, Jack, Annie or Molly,
son or daughter of king, minister
or workman, merchant or laborer-
but trust that self, the eternal, rea-
sonable, and holy sourse which
lives in each of us, and which, for
the first time, has awoke within
you, presenting these most import
ant of all questions, and seeking
and demanding their solution. Do
not, then, trust those who, with a
condescending smile, tell you that
they, too, once sought replies to
these questions, and did not find
them, for none can be found eX-
cept those that are accepted by ev.
erybody.
Do not believe this, but trust
yourself alone, and do not fear to
disagree with the views and
thoughts of those around you, if
only your replies to the questions
that have presented themselves to
you are founded not on your per-
sonal wishes, but on a wish to full
fill the purpose of your life, and
to fulfill the will of that Power

Tho orioin Of Lepreeh.un.

What is the origin of the word leprc-
chaun? Some writer's, probably inhu-
enced by the sobbing propensities as
cribed to the little fellow, have plaus-
IDLY traced it to leith-brogan (half a
shoe); but it Is explained with more
likelihood as corruption of ''luchor-
pan," which literally means Tiny body"
An early Irish writer classes the 'lu-
chorpans with the Fomorachs, Goat.
heads, and other misshapen things, as.
serting that all these are descended
tury tale. published by S. II. O'Grady
in his SILVA Gadelica," deals with the
adventures of two of these little peo-
pie at the Ulster court in style antici-
patory of Swift. Why and how the
"luchorpan" came to be regarded as
a shoemaker is not very clear, but the
beginning Of the tradition is to be
found in the tale referred to, wherein
the pigmy king is obliged to abandon
w IIC ClSlcI ClllGlldul Ills ILlOSI pE0C-
icus possession before he may return
to his native land. He recites long
list of his belongings, ascribing a pecu-
liar virtue to each, and last on the list,
but apparently not least i'll his cstima-
ton, come his "brougues of white
bronze, of virtue marvellous" the
wearer Of which could travel with ease
either on land or sea-. The "luchorpan"
was of sterling character, prcternatur-
ally wise, and of great musical talent.
The pigmy musicians when captured
would offer to perform. and they would
play firstly such melancholy strains
that their hearers wept, then a merry
tune to convulse them with laughter,
and lastly slow, restful melody which
lulled them into slumber, and while
they slept the tiny performer would
take himself off.

Dodsina the "Grippe."

Very sensible, very practical advice
is that given by DR.. Richard Cole New
ten in an article in The Ladies' Home
Journal on How We Can Avoid the
Grippe" DIR. Newton says:
First of all drink plenty Of water;
two full glasses (hot or cold, as YOU
prefer-it makes no difference,) when
you get up and before you eat break
fast; then one or two during tine
morning; another one or two during the
afternoon, and two glasses just as you
80 to bed. Eight glasses a day is ideal; {;
IL you haven't the capacity for so mucl,
take less.
Don't drink water or anything else
with your meals. This is one Of the
worst habits imaginable. 1t prevents
or forestalls proper masticatlon and Sc
riously interferes with digestion.
AS to your food: Cut the quantity
down. Cut down on meat; eat it only
once a day or once in two or thu &c
days. Don't get the notion that meat
creates strength. 1t doesn't It creates
stimulation and stimulation alway:
burns out quickly. In it's. place &C.,
vegetables and fruit. Eat lots of salad
Nuts are the best substitute for meat
The peanut alone contains six times
as much nourishment as an equa.
weight of meat.

country as long as they refrain from
holding meetings and otherwise con-
Quoting themselves without breaking
the laws of the country.
80, while they know they are con-
stantly under surveillance by the gov
ernment's agents as long as they are
on English soil, all anarchists also
know that England is practically the
only country in the world in which they
are comparatively safe as long as they
behave themselves. And they do not,
as a fraternity, intend to curtail their
privileges as law-abiding citizens of the
English community by breaking faith
with Scotland Yard.
This happy state OF affairs brought
about by the superior diplomatic quail
tiles of the men directing the secret
service department, accounts for the
immunity of the members OF the Eng
lish royal family from the anarchists
bomb when many rulers and royal per-
sonages on the continent are living in
constant fear of their lives"
This dispatch bears out all that was
said in an article in this paper a few
months ago about England's treaty
with the anarchist leaders. The price
of immunity is that they do not molest
the English royal family. To enter into
such a treaty with the open foes OF
al government is worthy of the same
power whose Prime Minister, Mr.. AS
quith, refused the Catholics the right
to carry the Host in the Eucharistic
procession.
No doubt the anarchists fully ap-
prove Asquith's action in the matter
AT all events they are the only organ
ized body in London outside of the
Protestant Protective Association that
has not condemned his action. -,
