Acoustic difficulties make the utiliza-

Consequently New York will have in

large enough to fulfill most of the pur
poses of a cathedral.

wanting. The lofty choir with its eight
great granite pillars. its craven re-

The new part has been formed by filling
up the great tower arches with heavy
walls. They are built of concrete rein
forced with iron bars, and are about a
foot thick. Temporary as they are and
destined to come down just as soon as
the money is forthcoming 10 build the

upper tier. IS thirty-siX by fifteen feet
and is said to be one Of the largest in the
city On either side OF il is a narrower
light. and below it is a row of three
smaller ones. Entrance to the church will
be given by two doors at the north and
south ends of the western wall and by
doors through the north and south walls.
To cover in this space between the
arches IL was decided to erect a tempo

Satire of oliver Wendell Holmes.


From the Atlantic Monthly
The peculiarities which DIR. Holmes
found most amusing were those which
he himself shared. There Is indeed ali
old prudential maxim to the effect that
people who live in glass houses should
not throw stones. This. in natural say
ing, takes for granted that we should all
enjoy smashing our neig15ors glass II
we could insure tie safety of our own.
DIR. Holmes was OF a different disposi-
ton His satire, like his charity, began
at home. He quite proud of the
glass house in which he lived, and al the
same time he enjoyed throwing stones.
If he broke a window now and then it
was satisfaction to think that it was
his own. No one valued more highly the
characteristics of Boston, but
he also saw the amusing side of the local
virtues. You may have watched the
prestidigitateur plunge his hand into
