WE ARE ALL TALKING ABOUT The project of building a Buddhist temple in New York le revived: but the leading Buddhists still opposed to it. of them said: know that there are bellevers enough in this elty to erect a temple that would rival in magnificence any in India, but the result would be to raise the cry that we were worshipping idols and to provoke persecution.
The Buddhist worship is contemplation. We do not need temple for that. The true Buddhist temple is the body, purified by fasting and kept clean by chastity. One of the rules of the Buddhists 1s not to seek to make proselytes. so that we need no temple for preaching, in the style of your We believe that.

In what is in all likelihood the most liberally managed one of the ladies' shopping stores in town the only fine imposed anon the salesgirls and clerks is a tax of a quarter of a dollar when any one is late in coming in the morning. That great store has the frat choice among the working girls, who hare found that the nystem of dues and penalties 14 reduced to such solence in come of the stores that no one on say how much or little he or she will receive at the ond of a week's work. One of the most ourious, costly, and charsoteristic dining rooms in New York is that of ex- Mayor Hewitt. It is literally Vonetian palace transported.

The wainscoting is of carved oak of elaborate and costly pattern, covering the four walls of the room except a wide space around the top. which has painted frieze of a succession of remarkable Agures that bear the traces of age and look 88 though they might have been done by Titian or so ne of hie pupile.

The furniture is in keeping. A section of the wall has a specimen of ornamental stuoco work done by the ex-Mayor's sons. On his last trip to Paris Mr. Hewitt's children persuaded him to sit to celebrated portrait painter, and the result was a portrait that gives him 8 much more pleasIna expression than most of those that have appeared. Mr.
Hewitt's health is muob better it was during recent busy publio life, and he is enjoying much rest. A very noticeable feature in New York city of late years is the increasing number of flower stores and picture stores. There is no quarter of the city too poor to support these luxuries. There is hardly a working girl In New York who does not find money during the week to buy a few fresh dowers. Generally she gets these for Sunday and nurses them through Monday and Tuesday.
With the in: crease of free reading rooms, libraries. and pupilo lectures, the cheapness of newspapers and the low price of books. the esthetios of the poorest need not lack cultivation. Whenever a bank breaks some unfortunate man is found with check on the broken bank which be has neglected to present. Pat MoCabe, clerk of the Jefferson Market, tells story of a narrow escape that he had from loss a few years ago.
He had been making dally visits to certain city department to collect about $7.000 due him. One day he found the Tressurer in his office. who blandly handed out checks for the amount due.

"I bare called several times to see you. and the check could not have become my property until I accept it from you. never did accept it.

It has often been noted with what faollity the names of leading citizens may be obtained to petitions, circulars, manifestoes, Boards of Directors, and papers of various kinds.

Each one thought the others knew all about it.
It would be dimcult to find anywhere in Now York two men more utterly dissimilar in sppearance than the famous gentlemen pigeon shots, Chauncey Floyd- Jones and Dr. Knapp. They are inseparable companions, and, when they're in town, Delmonico's Invariably sheltors them both at dinner time. Their conversation is nearly always of the confidential order so familiar in restaurants. They sit at small table, and from the beginning to the end of the dinner there is an amount of lowtoned and apparently humorous talk.

A well-known banker of Wall street was in a down-town restaurant on that day and saw at a dear tablo a clean shaven man. who looked very much like a Roman Catholio priest. The banker orerheard the supposed priest ask for some Isn't venison.

The waiter bent over and whispered: Dr. McGiynn, There is a barkeeper on Broad way who is temperance reformer.
He has been known to remonstrate against over indulgence in liquor at his bar. He has been known, while passing the bottle the counter. to warn customer of the danger of pouring too much into his tumbler. He ban been known to express satisfaction with the course of youthful tippler who cave up the habit of drinking. He has refused to furnish grog to a man who was already under its induence.
This remarkable barkeeper bolds that all men should be temperate under all circumatances, and be mourns over the folly of thone who are otherwise: yet he has stood behind his bar for many years. The Chicagoans, who are always registering at our hotels, are now more exuberant then over they were before in their talk about the prospects of the World's They over whelm any sedate Now Yorker who broaches the subject. It is to be the biggest thing in all it has the finest site to' be found outside of New York: its managers are sure to get all the money they need from Congress: it is sure to draw millions of people to Chicago: the nations of the earth will strive to beat each other's displas at it: it will raise the price of lots: it will be show worth looking at. you CAD bet: it will enrich everybody in Chicago; It will prove that the contre country is at one side of it: it will best all the other world's fairs that ever were held. and it will advance rates in the pork market.
Thus it is that the Chicagoans rattle away AS fast as they can when ther come to Now York. It is pleasant to listen to them for the Arst three or four hours of their discourse. The bad manners of the street car conductors are attracting more and more attention every day. Mark Twain apparently struck lar chord in his recent letter about the Sixth avenue railroad conductor, for the complaints since that time have been numerous and bitter. Women bare more to put up with from the majority of these ill- mannered public servante than men, for even the most reckless of conduotors are a little afraid of sending forth abuse where there is a chance of their something more than verbal rebuke.
During the storm of Saturday a conductor on a Broadway car not only spoke with unwarranted sharpness to women, but abused them with so much profanity that ho was eventually taken to task by a man who stood with the crowd on the rear platform. The conductor at once hegad a whining storz of the bardships of the life that he had to endure, ending up with the statement that people treated him As if be wasp't fit to shovel the snow from the street. That's what you ought to ba doing," MAId the irate passeuger. You are not it to ride on public street car, much less take the management of one." From the fact that young Mr. Barkley Warburton le again seen about town it is expected that his partnership with Dixey has been suudered.

WOULD OTHERS ARE of the Desire to Characteristles, Imitate Other Men's Some philosopher has observed that the PIcoptional man is pretty sure to be imitated, whether the characteristios which distinguish him from the rest of the world are meritorious or not. The influence of the conduct, speech, or Writings of a conspicuous man are sure to be felt. The same philosopher has also observed that when a man is influenced by other he imitates him.

Ho may cony the cut of his beard, or the twist of his moustache. or the style of his clothes, or a number of other things. It many persons admire one man they may be influenced differently. Each may copy different characteristic.
It some particularly striking characteristic. however, be prominent enough dwarf all others. it is probable that imitators will copy that. not observing any other. Kaiser Wilhelm.
grandfather of the present Emperor, had his beard trimmed in peculiar style, the mutton-chop whiskers and moustache being larger a than those usually worn. Probably several hundred thousand Germans in various parts of the world wore exactly the same atyle of beard. In fact, the ordinary German felt intensely happy if he could cultivate such a beard. He went into ecstacles. if anybody noticed A resemblance between his facial appearance and that of the Emperor No doubt the Iron Chancellor had thousands of imitators.
The late Bayard Taylor recognized the Imitative disposition of men in bis description of his visit to California in the days of '49. Taylor WAS 0 passenger on board sailing vessel which bure many gold hunters from the Isthmus of Panama 10 the Golden Gate. Ho. In common with most of the other passengers, was strongly Impressed by the appearance and actions of A taciturn man who bore a striking facial resemblance to the Aret Napoleon.

The valiant Frenchman may have copied his beard from the illustrious King Henry. but it was Boulanger's prominonce and not King Henry's that induced mon to copy the beard.
But to come nearer home. it would be interesting to know how many thousand. of persons are imitating personal characteristios of hauncey M. Depew. A prominent American said that he believed there are 10,000 Americans, many of whom have never seen Mr.

that there were many imitators of Rutus Choate. AB you will remember. this brilliant orator bad some culiar tricks of action. whiob were bardly noticed by his listeners in their admiration of his eloquence: but when the many orators imitated him they became ridiculous. His style of gymnastics did not detract from his oratory because of Its excellence, but when the mental matter was poor the athletio exhibition only made the Imitator ridiculous.
There were bundreds and thousands of men. undoubtedly, who wore influenced by Henry Ward Beecher. How MAnY copied his personal characteristios and imitated his personal appearance would be bard to say: I have DO doubt that many did.

Within a very short time after thin characteristio style developed hundreds of his admirers paraded the streets twirling their canes in imitation of his method. visitor to the law omce of Frederic R.

go by way of the offoe." He spoke in a very low tone, which impressed his listeners. What's the matter?" asked a gentleman. "There is a funeral party coming down here." The guests looked him in amazement. What! a funeral at this hour of the night," they exclaimed. The porter nodded his head aMrmatively and gently closed the door in their faces.
They went away. and presently a hearse and two carriages that had been standing in the shadow mored forward to a point in front of the entrancs. The coMn, covered with a black cloth, rested on two chairs in the centre of one of the small parlors up stairs. A gray- benrded man and a young girl of about 15 sat beside it. They were evidently the mourners.
The girl was weeping and sobbing. while the man stared heavily and broien heartedly at the blank wall. In one corner stood two men. They were the uniertaker and one of his assistanta. The former was giving the latter final instructions.
The liguts in the room wore turned low. There were no flowers and nothing to disturb the heavy, unpleasant, mourniul air. Soine of the turniture had been moved over into one corner to make room for the coma. About the time that theatre party had been refured the undertakor locked at his watch.

The assistant undertaker came over and helped bis employer, remove, the pall. The coffin rested in a wooden box lined with metal.
The cover WAS off and the slide in tho tup of the coffin was open. Under the glass 3 could be seen the face of a woman of middle age. There were some grAy hairs among the dark. but most of the wrinkies had been smoothed out by death.

The two lingered only for A fow momenta, While thoy were putting on their wraps undertaker's assistant closed the slide in the coffin and put the cover on the box. then he went out into the hall and nodded to several other men, who came in and belped him carry the coffin down stairs. The mourners 1ollowed direetly behind. They went at once into the first carriage behind the hearse.
The hotel were just putting the last items of baggage into the second carriage. One of the clerks came out. shook the man's hand, and bade him a sympathetic adieu. From the way in which he addressed him it was ev.dent that the man bad boen 8 frequent guest at the hotel. No sooner were the doors of the carriages closed than the undertaker climbed up beside the driver on the hearse and the two assistants went onto the boxes of the coaches.
The procession started down Broadwar at a rapid pace. There was nothing of the slow and dignifed about this funeral march. Time was valuable. At the junctiou of Broadway and Fifth avenue the procession turned off to the latter thoroughfare and weut down across Washington square, and South Fifth avenue. and thence through various dark and narrow side streets to the Desbrosses Street Ferry.
The ride, depressing enough to the mourners under Any circumstances, was rendered doubly Bo by the black, silent. and tortuous through which they had come. The undertaker and his assistants tildn't think of this. but congratulated themselves upon having come just in time to catch the boat they wanted. The mouruers still remained in their oarrage after the latter had been driven upon the boat, and did not loave it until they entered the Pennsylvania Railroad Depot in Jersey City.
All arrangements for their further travel bad already been made. The coffin in its box WaS quickly transferred to a baggage car and the mourners entered one of the sleeping coaches. Berths had been reserved for them. It was the 12:15 night express. As the undertaker stuck his bead into the car to bid them good-night.
he said: Every thing is all right. sir. I have made Inquiries. You will reach Pittaburgh at 6:50 to-morrow, and will connect there for Toledo, where your train, is due at 4:15. This was only a typical night funeral.
Probably many Now Yorkers have wondered at the of funeral processions passing through the dark side streets about the time that most citizena are going to bed. There are various reasons for them. One is of the sort indicated by this tale. Visitors to Now York who are stopping at our hotels and suddenly die there, are usually removed at The reuson for this is plain. By taking the body away at night the mourners are able to reach their homes early enough the next day to give time for the funeral services and the interment.
This is especially true where the destination 18 so far removed from this city that any morning train could not renob it until too late to permit immediate burial, The same thing may be true of country visitors to private houses in the city. but there is not the same necessity for immediate removal from a private house as there is from a hotel. Proprietors of hotels won't harbor corpses any longer than they must, because they know that many guests object to It. Patients who come to New York hospitals and die there are also usually remored at night. Perhaps there are more, night funerals from the hospi ale than from the hotels.
An undertaker of whom an inquiry WAS made 48 to this rather unpleasant custom. related a case that bad come within bis own knowledge. The victim was a lady who had come on with her husband to pass Thanksgiving with some friends.

nearly a fortnight the members of the Albany City Curling Club have been able to hurl the "stanes" orer the smooth surface of their "covered sheets" or "rinks," as ther are popularly but incorrectly termed. The game of curling is almost as old as Scotch heather and the pibroch and plaid, but the "covered sheets" are a now foature in the United States, although they have been in use for some time in Canada. Some years ago the Buffalo Carlers built covering over the but the organization did not prosper. and its buildings disappeared. Thus it chanced that the honor of being the first well-established curling club in this State to have a club house and "covered sheets" belongs to the Albany City Curling Club, which afforded almost sport enjoved by curling clubs of this section last winter.
The covered sheeta" of the Albany Club are typical of those now in use wherever a curling club of any size is located. A first requisite for a "sheet" is a solid earth surface of clay levelled up with fine gravel or sand. The length of this must be about 142 feet, and the width of each sheet from six and a half to eight feet. The surface. as prepared.
is divided by a plank walk extending through the centre and parallel with the longer sides. The two long surfaces on either side walk are the sheets." The whole is covered by a long. low, shod-like structure furnished with narrow but numerous apertures, through which cold air may ciroulate. One end of this building is partitioned off into two small parlors, provided with windows facing the shoots, where the more delicate of the club may comfortably sit and watch the With the first touch of cold weather the club's attendant goes forth with a large waterine pot and ovenly sprinkles water upon the prepared surfaces. This freezes almost as 800n n8 sprinkled.
und another lager of ice is quickly added. This la repeated until on either side of the central walk there 19 sheet of ice three or four Inches thick firmly and solidly attached to the prepured, surface beneath. Upon -e sheets" tho Atanes are hurled from tee 10 08 the several rinks contend for the mastery. Since the erection of the Albany city's club house, sheets hare heen prepared and covered by the Boston Curling Club. the Thistle Curling Club of New York at Hobokon, the Yonkers Curling Club.
and the Empire Curling Club of Albany. All will be ready for use and occupancy before the winter has fairly set in. With covered all that is needed is moderately old weather. and defance can be hurled at wind and -now and storm, which so frequently interfered with the sport on open and unprotected sheets. One feature of this season's sport will be the playing off of large number of the District Medal games arranged for last winter among the curling clubs belonging to the Grand tional Curling Apsociation of Amorica.
Nearly all the of this series that were played last winter occurred here at Albany. The dates of these National contests and also of the local clubeventa are to a large extent left open, in order to take advantage of the best possible conditions of weather and ice. The prospect of favorable conditions for forty-eight hours is sufficient to send a inessage humming over the wires from Now York or Albany to Boston. Utica. Buffalo.
or Montreal. For the curling DOW opening the Albany City Club. the larkest in the National Curling Association, has already outlined a programme, complete. and. with The the club exception has to of play dates.
off one of the District Medal matches of last year with the New York Curling Club, and will meet. as usual, the Utica Curling Club in the annual contest for the McCrodie medal. which was presented in 1870 by Thomas no Albany maltater and prominent Sootsman, for an annual test of skill between the Utica and Albany curlers. Another match that takes place every year is the against other nationalities; also the match for the Thomas McCredie Point Medal, given to the possessor of the best individual ourling record in the Albany City Club: also the Fasoldt Championship Medal. given for the best individual ettort.
The match for the Fasoldt medal will be the finish of the contest begun last year, but Was stopped for the want of good ice. A series of games is also to be arranged with the Empire Carling Club of this city. A rink medal has been offered in the Albany City Club, which will certainly benefit the club and develop new players. This contest contemplates the selec. tion of eight good skips from the club members.
who in turn will select first. second, and third players to All out eight full Then a drawing will take place, by which the players will be assigned to positions under one or tho other of the eight skips." aud these thirty-two players will then contest for the club supremacy and the rink medal. The delegate to the National Association from the Albany City Club has been informed by Scoretary Foulis that he may be called upon to say whether big club is prepared to send full rink" to Montreal to contest for the Gordon Medal." which isoplayed for each year on the sheets" of the Caledonia Curling Club at Montreal. The Canadians bave always been able to retain the trophy, and it is considered the most valuable one in the long list of curling medals, and by the clubs from the States it is considered a great honor to be on the rink" which is sent to Montreal to try conclusions with the holders of the prize. Heretolore the National Association bAs picked out special rink" from the best curlers in the different clubs, but this year it Is suggested that the rink" to be sent shall be taken from one club.
As the largest club, as well as one containing a large proportion of good players, the Albany City Curling Club liable to be ordered to send a rink" or two to meet the victorious Canucks for the medal in January next.
