The chief thing about the great republic is, after all, that it is very big, but one little intaglio, found at Delphi or Olympia, is of more inter. ost, in one way, and infinitely more fascinating. The opprobrium of gi- gantic newness lies upon the Amer. ican continent, and there are num. bers of Americans who would ex- change all New York, and Chicago into the bargain, for one ancient monastery or one battlemented for. tress of the past. Our transatlantic cousins are a wonderful and delight- ful people, but they cannot show a single antique, unless they have im- ported it from the old world. It is not surprising, then, that as soon as they have ‘‘made their pile,’’ or are on the way to making it, the first thing Americans think of is a visit to Europe, and, most of all, to the old land. It has been said that the strongest wish of every American is tobe an Enyvlishman. But, if they unly knew it, they are Englishmen -—Jonaon Siandar a, wm: A som ‘Chet Wanted. There was an interesting episude one dary in a well known Washing. ton cafe. The proprictor has « Frenck chef in his employ, and the result is thet the menu cards can be guaranteed to puzzle any American. Two gentlemen sat atatable. One was from the west, and his French edneation had becn neglected. The other had buf recently come to Washington from Paris. After read. ing the menu the westerner said to the waiter: ‘‘I can’t read French Bring me a good dinner.”’ Meantime the Frenchman was try ‘*Par. den, monseer,’’ he said, ‘‘eet ees not ze Francais.

How the Commons and Lords Are Fur nished With Illumination, Although gas, candles and_ oil lamps are used to light the parlia- ment buildings, says the Westmin. ster Budget, incandescent lamps are in most general use. The system of electric lighting is controlled from the basement, and throughout the | building the lamps themselves are every where arranged with great care and forethought. In the dining rooms, for instance, they are placed very high up, so that while the sup- glare over the tables. In the tea- rooms, besides the lights from the ceiling, there are wall brackets over the tables and even movable table lamps for those who care to use them. And inthe kitchen and the service room adjoining the com mons dining room all the fittings are made of iron, rather than of brass, so that they may suffer as Jit. tle as possible from the steam. With a staff of about 50 men the superintendent is able to make ali sorts of ingenious and pretty fit. tings. And, as another specimen of the economy which is everywhere visible, it may be mentioned that he has succeeded in making many pret ty electroliers out of the old gas fit tings. Tho big electroliers— notably that in the central hall, which | weighs 18 hundredweight and bears 93 lamps—and the smaller ones in tho peers’ chamber, St. Stephen’s bull and elsewhere are made to be raised and lowered for purposes of cleaning or of replacing brukeu lamps. This big electrolier has, high up in the dome, a crane, which moves over it on tram lines, by which it is raised and lowered, while the electric wires are carefully drawn aside on another tramway sc that they may not be damaged in paying out while the electrolicr is beiny lowered. And in the roof above the house of lords there are siinilars arrangements, but with simply a weight and a couple of earthenware pulleys in place of tle crane. The commons chamber is no} lighted entirely _ by electricity. Round the arched doorway are ten incandescent lamps, which are prin. cipally required to show up the carving and the clock face, and un. der the sido galleries there isa lamr placed behind each pillar, so that while it cannot itself be seen, it pre vents the members who may be sit. ting there from being in deep shade and so invisible to the speaker. The principal lighting here, however comes through the painted glass lamps are used, gas being preferred to electricity here both on account of its superior spreading powers and because the heat creates a draft, and so assists ventilation. | the glass is avery fine wire net- work, so that were a breakage to oc. cur there would be no danger of a cabinet minister being decapitated In the lobbies and the libraries electric lighting is used, however. In the libraries and reading roomé it is placed lower than in most parts of the building, for obvious reasons. And in all the larger electroliers the lamps are divided into three groups, which light independently of one another. Thus, on a dull day one set of lamps would be in use; if it wore toggy, there might be two sets, and at night all three are employed. Ruskin and Science, Qne of the worst enemies of sci. ence is Mr. Ruskin. When Agassiz publisired his beok on ‘‘Fossil Fish- es,’’ which was deemed of such im. ages of the strata in which they were found that the United States government contributed to the ex penses of publication, Mr. Ruskin, in ‘Preeterita,’’ volume 2, page 112, says, ‘‘ Agassiz was a mere blockhead to have paid for all that good draw- ing of the nasty, ugly things, and. that it didn’t matter a stale herring whether they had ‘any. names or not,” a piece of criticism written with the pen of ignorance. But what shall we say when we see the same writer speaking of ‘‘little Mr. Faraday” finding a hydrocarbon oil in heaven which makes a stink? (1 quote from memory.)
