Commenting on the tall buildings in America, a correspondent writes :— The Masonic Temple, Chicago, has 20 floors above ground, and a height from pavement to roof coping of 274 feet. The Pulitzer Building, New York, occupied by The World newspaper and by offices, has 12 storeys above ground in the main structure, with a roof of 191 feet above the pavement. On the top of this, however, is a six-storey dome, in which the highest room is 280 feet above the ground. The New Netherlands Hotel, New York, now approaching completion, will have 17 floors, and reach a height of 210 feet above the pavement. Among the new buildings erected in Chicago are the Eatahdin and Wachusset, each of 17 storeys, and 200 and 205 feet respectively from the pavement to the top of the roof. The Old Colony, another 17 storey building, will be 215 feet high.

It will brown nicely, and is liked by many as well as if dipped in beaten eggs. This makes a nice pudding, is a little preserve is added to each square of fried bread. In cooking acid fruits, if a email pinch of carbonate of soda is added less sugar will be needed, and the flavour will be greatly improved. The Customs returns prove beyond contra diction that Nelson, Moate and Co's fine tea are being appreciated by the niajority, for in spite of the numerous firms in every part in the Colonies that are copying them, the turnover is as large as ever, and the demand so great that they sell more Indian, Ceyon and blended teas than the whole of the inprtera and dealers pat together in and uwter of the Colony.
