The coming of the skyscraper began the glorification of the cellar, the utilization of underground epace not previously deemed worthy of occupation. The rudi- mentary cellar of the last generation was put to few uses—so few, indecd, that where the surface of the ground war rocky there was no attempt at excavation. The demolition of old buildings to make way for new at ‘Thirty-fourth street and Broadway and at Long Acre Square during the past few years revealed a surprising absence of cellars under substantial business ‘buildings. Except for a half dozen rathskellers there was no sub- terranean New York up to within a few years. Ot how rapidly building {s now progressing down- ‘ward we get an idea from the underground ramifica- tions of the subway. Here {s a pressroom that will be entirely beneath a subway station, there an underground passage communicating with a department store. Pri- ‘vate connecting (unnels are to be had for the asking (at @ satisfactory yearly rental) by any adjacent landowner; several hotels and a library are to be so advantaged and ery likely the theatres near a station, as in the Long As noon as work wan over off to his yacht he whirled away In his big red auto, reading in the afternoon papers the accounts of the excitement in the Street.

With his coat off and a coo!- fooking pink ehirt on, he did not appear to mind the heat or the financial flurry As he was hurrying away from his office ho was asked {f It was true, as rumored, that ie had caused the slump. ‘Weil, me!" he replied, with a chuckle. oe Mrs. Ogden Goelet {s doing what she horses’ tails by setting the fashion ot banging their taffs, cutting them short and square on hér pair of roan horses. A source 6f amusement to any man who understands horses may be de- rived, by the way, in watching the steeds of the ‘400 parading Fifth ave- nue and the Park. The horses are all fashionad!® in looks, it 1s true, but a pitiably large number of them are manifestly unsoun@. Bpavine, heaves ‘Acre Square neighborhood, will eventually ‘be equipped with similar private transit facilities for delivering their audiences literally at their doors. This beginuing of pedestrian tunnels presages an ex- tension of their use which may make them one of the topographical features of city life a generation hence. Where so lately, in the general ignorance of what under- round accommodation might be, persons entered even @ rathskeller of the kind aforesaid with some misgivings as to personal safety, they now foresee advantages not yet availed of. Is it too much to expect that some day in the not remote future it will be possible to walk underground from point to point In the city in broad subways brilliantly lighted and lined with attractive shops? Say ‘on Forty-second street from Lerington avenue to Broad- way, on Thirty-fourth from Third avenue to Sixth, and under congested downtown streets as well? No doubt business will object, but business always In the end adapts itself to new conditions, usually with profit because of the enforced change. THE GOLF-MADE GIRL.

Smith, “Kill and burn! And In this last vol- ume Mr. Beckles Wilson gives the following instance of the frenzy of tury roused by a mere abstract disapproval of negro lynching: “A Georgia college professor, Sledd, himself a Southerner, contributed to the Atlantic Monthly a rational, moderate are ticle, recognizing that the negro race was inferlor to the white, pronouncing emphatically against intermarriage or amalgamation, und advocating the safeguarding of the ballot against negro preponderance. But he strongly condemned | lynching and maintained that the negro had rights which the while na was bound to respect. For this offense Prof. Sledd was burned in eiflgy by his students and resigned his char to avotd expnision.”’ ‘Tre negro Question by no means promizes to solve | self, as the Indian question solved itself. “Tne Injuns,’ temus Ward, “are being druv nearer and nearer to t sun. Ita rayther rough on the settin’ sun, but I contess 'm rejiced to hear !t."" But the negro population has absolutely doubled itself since the civil war. And the North, which fought then for abolition, is now nearly as intolerant of the negro as the South, says T. P. O'Connor, In the Chicago Tri- bune.

For this lady, the American wife of the French Ambassador, M. Weddington, rcounts here her experiences it. Petersburg, &c. amusing story of her little boy's impressions of the Tower: ‘My little boy heand some one ask me the other day if I had been yet to see Queen Victoria. I saw his face change a little, and when we were alone he asked trem lously: ‘Are you going to see the Queen?’ ‘Yes, my son.” ‘Ie she always so caoss?’ ‘Why, the Queen {s not cross, my child.’ ‘Won't she cut your head off?’ His mind had been running on the Tower of London, where we went the other day, and where the block on which Anne Boleyn and Lady Jane Gray had their heads cut off was, of course, shown. Afterward at my audience with the Queen, when she asked me what my little boy was doing, I replied that he was trembling at home until his mother should return, She looked @ little surprised till I told her of his preoccupations, when eho said, ‘Poor little boy! How glad he will be to see his mother back with her head on her shoulders.’ "’ This little lad, being American on his mother's side only, ‘was naturally not so smartly precocious as a pure-tread Yankee—a girl—who, upon being shown in the Tower a can= non which had been taken at Bunker Hill, remarked, “Yes, I guess you've got the cannon, but we've got the hill,’ PRIZE SENTENCES, The winner of a prize of one guinea offered by the London Academy to the person who should select the three most comprehensive and felicitous sentences from any authors, chose the following three quotations.
