BUILDER OF THE TABERNACLE.
im. johx "wood.
Sir. John "Wood Dined and Glvea a TFell
Earned Testimonial.
After the burning of Dr. Talmage's
tabernacle in Brooklyn some time ago,
the pastor and his flock began to arrange
for the erection of the new and imposing
Btructure in which the services are now
held. Work was begun, advanced rap
id!' and reached satisfactory completion
largely through the efforts of Mr. John
Wood, treasurer
and chairman of
the building com
mittee. So the
other day, after
all business and
mechanical de -tails
had been
cleared up and
retried for good,
the board of Tab
ernacle trustees
gave Mr. Wood a complimentary dinner
at Cottage City, Mass. The board then
presented him with a series of elegantly
engrossed and gold framed resolutions
complimenting him on his "sleepless
vigilance, forethought and wisdom," and
declaring that "it is to his business tact,
financial ability and general skill that
the final completion of the great edifice
it largelj' due.'
In his reply to the address accompany
ing the resolutions. Mr. Wood 6aid that
"it was a standing disgrace to the life
insurance companies, banks and trust
companies of New York and Brooklyn
that they refused their aid because it
was a church. For their lack of faith
and works let them be condemned in the
old Piesbyterian fashion, and for the
friends that did assist, glory and honor
and praise."
A Cotton IMantcr's Reautifal Wife.
There was until recently summering
at Alanitou, Colo., writes Fred R. Fas
set, a blond, whose symmetrical and
perfectly rounded figure is character
ized by all the languorous grace of
the south. Her complexion has that
toft purity seldom seen beyond baby
hood in the north, but which southern
women seem to have inherited the secret
of retaining at will. She is fond of dia
monds, and as the sparkle in profusion
about her person her face, in its soft
moonlight beauty, reminds one of a deli
cate opal framed m a setting of brilliant
diamonds. Upon her white, tapering
fingers jewel studded rings seem no more
out of place than do the myriad glisten
ing dewdrops on the stalks of valley
lilies. But while her person gives every
evidence of daintiest care, one has only
to listen to her brilliant conversation to
learn that her mind is no neglected
ivaste. Blossoms of thought and fancy
are luxuriant and wreathe her every sen
tence. For two seasons she reigned as
Miss Fenton, a noted southern belle, but
is now Mrs. W. A. Snead, wife of one of
the wealthiest cotton planters of Mem
phis. An Ancient Parsonage Torn Down.
The oldest parsonaj in Kings county.
N. Y., has just bee torn down. I
stood in Flatbush, near Brooklyn, and
was erected during the latter part of the
Seventeenth century. Originally it was
surrounded with palisades and, thus de
fended, formed a refuge tor the settlers
against Indian attacks.
Johannes Johnson built it, and in 1714
cold it to the Reformed Protestant Dutch
church as a residence for Dominie Free
man. It remained a parsonage until
1818. Since then it has been a harness
shop, an inn, headquarters for the Flat
bush Republican association and an
Italian boarding house. It was a char
acteristic specimen of Dutch architec
ture. It had an old fashioned double
door entrance, Binall panes of glass in
the windows and shingled gabies. Its
OUTDOOB BECOEATIOK
DOW THE OLD HOUSE LOOKED.
Bolid foundation walls were of the native
stone of the region, and huge chimneys
of the same were topped with brick.
The large, square timbers showed the
inark3 of the ax with which they were
hewn before the days of sawmills. The
long, sloping, overhung roofs made cov
erings for the piazzas in front and rear
of the house without posts to Bupport
them.
The Kind or Men They Like.
Reading about the superb management
pf a big fire the other day, a certain girl of
my acquaintance remarked: "Is there any
thing o grand in man as force? In my es
timation, thooe firemen ami the chief vho
so splendidly coutroilod them are as far su
perior to the dancing j'ouths we meet at
parties and hops as meat is better than
foam." Put that into your pipe, jou cal
low striplings who aim to bo lady killers!
lt It is not your tennis suits, nor your small
ffj feet, nor j-our ability to dance and lead the
german that makes a woman's heart
kindle at your approach.
It is your response to an emergency, your
mucle in a tilt against odds, your endur
ance and force that will win the way to
feminine regard. As for me, there is some
thing pathetic in the sight of a big, hand
some fellow in dancing pumps and a Prince
Albert coat. 1 would nther see him swing
ing a blacksmith's hammer or driving a
plow through stony furrows if need be.

A Scientist-Diplomat.
Sir George Baden-Powell, who has been
appointed by the British government one
of the agents in the Bearing sea matter, is
in this country now. In diplomacy he has
not yet won fame, but as a naturalist or a
follower of Sir John Lubbock Sir George
is widely and favorably known. He has
written several brochures which have been
translated into all the Continental lan
guages. Sir George is, notwithstanding
this success in a by-path, an accomplished
diplomatist. He was at Berlin during the
early years of his career, and is said to
have formed himself on German models.
When Sir Julian Pauncefote's successor is
appointed, if Lord Salisbury be still in
office, the post at Washington is expected
to fall to Sir George Baden-Powell. His
colleague in the present British-American
discussion is Dr. Dawson, of Ottawa, Can

New Yobk, Sept. 7. Times occur In the
history of every city and town when civia
pride demands some attempt at street deco
ration. The visit of some famous man,
the holding of a fair, the celebration of an
anniversary each calls for decorative dis
play to impress strangers with the publl
spirit of the place and its ability to do jus
tice to the event. When General Grant

HOUSE FP.OXT DECORATIONS,
nent, after his trip around the world, his
line of march was one mass of decoration
from San Francisco to Chicago and still
farther east. Ornamental arches spanned
the streets, flags hung from every window,
festoons of bunting draped the buildings,
and portraits and medallions of the war
rior statesman were suspended across the
streets and, wreathed with evergreens, re
posed in the windows of prominent stores.
The effect of this profusion of color was
inspiring but bewildering. No expense had
been spared to make the various displays
effective. Every device that could bi
thought of was employed to do honor to
the distinguished guest. But there was a
painful lack of harmony in many of th
decorations. It seemed as if every citizen,
while apparently co-operating, had allowed
his individual taste to prevail, and artistic
harmony was often lacking. The fact is,
we have much to learn in this matter oi
street decoration.
Perhaps one of our greatest faults in
this respect is the too lavish use of the
Etars and stripes in decorating. While it
is true that we cannot too highly honor the
national dag, it would be better to use it
more sparingly as a means of decoration.
It is a truism in art that no flag is in itsell
a thing of beauty. It is almost impossible
to artistically blend square or rectangulai
pieces of bunting. The American flag is a
brilliant piece of color, which may be used
to accent artistic decoration, but should
not altogether take its place.
England is fond of displaying her na
tlonal colors, and carries the fad to almost
as great extremes as Americans. On the
continent Venetian flags are almost exclu
sively used for decorative purposes, and
they are the only kind which can really be
used artistically. They consist of long
streamers attached to embroidered ban
ners. The wind plays curious freaks with
them, blowing them into all manner oi
fantastic forms that delight the eye and
impart an air of gayety to any festive scene.
Oriental rugs, prayer carpets and devices
of flowers, natural or artificial, deck th
fronts of the houses and give a most pic
turesque effect.
Some of the European fetes have passed
into history as wonderful pictorial dis
plays. The celebration of the eleven hun
dredth anniversary of the founding of the
city of Munich, about thirty years ago
was one of the most notable festivals oj
modern times. Its leading feature was aD
historical procession, headed by Carl Pi
loty, the famous artist. The costumci
represented every century since the found
ing of the city, and models of the princi
pal buildings went along with the proces
sion. The houses on the line of marcl
were hung with tapestries connected with
wreaths of flowers, and Venetian flags
floated from tall masts in the streets. At
night there were illuminations, many ol
the pieces being elaborate designs of parti
colored crvstals. The celebration onlj
lasted one day. Every one who took part
in it bore his own proportion of the ex
pense. Brussels, the capital of Belgium, is wide
ly known for the number and brilliancy oi
Its fetes. Its citizens are lavish in the use
of tapestry and flowers, and they always
intrust the adornment of the city to some
well known artist. This seems to be the
general practice in Europe. It is recog-
If we wish to attain to the highest de
gree of success ia public decoration we
mnsfc atady the subject more thoroughly,
and gmd of each citizen decorating his
own house or place of business without re
gard to the general effect, the whole
scheme must be placed in the hands of the
most competent person available, and not
in charge of a committee selected at ran
dom because of the success of Its members
in other than artistic lines.
Natural products can be employed to
give a characteristic touch to the decora
tions. In a wheat seetlon a number of
pretty devices can be constructed from the
sheaves and ears; in a cotton district the
plant and its product can be arranged in a
variety of pretty forms. Captain Alfred
Thompson, the well known New York
artist, once adorned a ballroom in Kent
with nothing but hop plants, hanging
them in graceful festoons from the win
dows and working them into a variety of
fantastic forms. The scent of the hop
plant is very sweet, and the senses of the
dancers were therefore doubly gratified by
the arrangement.
But this use of characteristic products
may be carried too far. Queen Victoria
once signified her intention of opening a
museum of art in a rough district of Lon
don. The citizens wished to mark the
event by an elaborate decorative display.
They knew little of such matters, how
ever, and yet were averse to employing
professional aid. In the midst of their di
lemma two gentlemen went among the
tradesmen and claimed to be a royal com
mission on the embellishment of the dis
trict for the visit of her majesty. Their
instructions, though of the most grotesque
kind, were received with delight. They
told the venders of meat, vegetables and
groceries to arrange their goods in all man
ner of odd shapes. The proprietor of a
corset shop was commanded to put stands
of his wares on the outside, and a haber
dasher was advised to stuff stockings of
every hue with sawdust and hang them in
front of his windows gayly festooned with
ribbons. The timely discovery that the
commissioners were none other than John
L. Toole, the comedian, and Lionel
Brough, the burlesque writer, prevented
the consummation of this huge hoax.
Any city or town having occasion foi
decoration, and wishing to avoid the stiff
mechanical garniture of its neighbors,
should first decide what amount of money
YEJTETIAX MASTS AND STREAMERS,
nized that the citizen, ns a rule, knows lit
tle or nothing of decorative art, and indi
vidual effort at public embellishment is
frowned upon. The result is that Euro
pean cities present a much prettier appear
ance en fete than ours.
Triumphal arches, as they are called,
are not in favor as adjuncts of strest dis
plays. They are looked upon as unsightly
obstructions. Historical processions are
the leading features, and great care is
taken to insure correctness of detaiL In
Paris a custom prevails which seems well
worthy of adoption in the United States.
At appropriate intervals on the line of
march groups of statuary, representing
episodes in national life or satires on some
current sensation, are erected. These look
like costly pieces of sculpture, but are in
reality cheap though attractive affairs got
ten up for the occasion.
Rough models are made of wood or
straw; heads, hands and feet are molded is
plaster or pans, and the drapery rnr-y .
of canvas dipped in weaK plaster ox parts,
which carrier out the general illusion as it
dries. Uader the manipulation of a com
petent artist those groups are made vory
effective, they can be erected in ten min
utes, and will stand considerable bad
weather. Except on the stage, this method
of imitating high class sculpture has, so
far as I bae been able to ascertain, never
been attempted in this country. It might
be used to great advantage, especially as
we have not a superabundance of historic
statuarv, and our annals are rich in sub
jects which could be appropriately repre-

it will devote for the purpose. Then, il
possible, it should call in the services of an
artist of experience, who will give the best
result for the sum appropriated.
In the main streets of roost cities there ia
often a monument of some kind. Groups
of statuary could be used very effectively
to illustrate events associated therewith.
They could be set upon draped pedestals
and surrounded with appropriate accesso
ries. The cost of such groups would be
comparatively little, and unless destroyed
by a storm it would take a tornado to
completely obliterate them they could be
stored away for use on some other occa
sion. Instead of flags, prayer rugs or strips
of carpet should depend from window to
window of the buildings, and each win
dow should bo framed in evergreens.
Those frames should be connected with
flowing lines of flowers or evergreens.
At intervals portraits or medallions,
suitably decked, might be introduced with
good effect. Balconies could be treated io
the same way as the windows, the simple
rule being borne in mind that all success
ful decoration depends on graceful lines
and harmony of color. From corner to
corner of the carpets or prayer rugs, fes
toons and wreathes of flowers may bo hung.
On the streets Venetian masts should be
erected at intervals. They should be fes
tooned from top to bottom with flowers; a
cheaper mode of attempting the same effect
is to paint them in bright colors. The
streamers from the tops can be allowed to
float with the breeze or be loosely tied at
either side of the street. When this is dono
and wreaths of flowers affixed, the effect
is very fine. Tripods filled with flowers or
palms may be placed between the masts.
In this way we would approach the decora
tive beauty of continental cities and escape
the stiff, upholstered look of our past efforts
in public embellishment.
If illuminations are required they can be
easily provided for, either in simple or com
plicated form. In fact, almost any effect
can be secured. Everything, as I said be
fore, is governed by the taste of the manip
ulator and the amount of money at his
disposal. John W. Postgate.
