NJ. GREvY, the future leader of the Re-
publican party of France, lives in the third
story of house No Rue st. Armand, near
the Grand Opera, Paris. He is an early riser,
well informed on all the movements of the
times, hard-working statesman and stu
dent and the most cordial and liberal Of
hosts. He is tall and stout, of austere ex-
preston of countenauce, with large black
eyes, and cold and reserved in demeanor.
He is man of imposing mien, and looks like
person born to authority. AS an orator he
is grave and impressive. and he has a clear
and well-toned voice. He has twelve
times been chosen President of the
Chamber of Deputies. As leader he is
discreet and safe, never committing mistakes
himself and restraining others from impul-
sive and compromising acts. In the present
state Of affairs in France he is the best leader
the Republican party could have selected to
lead it to victory and to inspire the public
with confidence in its sagacity and patriotism.

An Editors Wants CIasslcaIIy Expressed.


One of our contemporaries makes
known his wants to his patrons in the
following classical language: Hear us
for our debts and get ready that you may
pay, trust us, acknowledge your indebt-
edness, ard dive into your pockets, that
you may promptly fork over. If there
be any among you-one single patron
that don't owe us anything, then to him
we say: Step aside, consider yourself
gentleman. If the rest want to know
why we dun them, this is our answer
Not that we care about ourselves, but
that our creditors do. Would you rather
that we went to Jail and you go free,
than you pay your debts and keep us
moving? AS we agree, we have worked
for you, as we contracted, we furnished
the paper to you, but as you don't pay
we dun you. Here are agreements for
subscriptions, promises for long credits,
and duns for deferred payments. Who
is there so green that he don't take a
paper2 If any, he need not speak, for
we don't mean him. Who is SO green
he don't advertise If any, let him
slide; he amt the chap either. Who is
there so mean that he don't pay the
printer ? If any, let him speak, for he's
the man we're after.

5,555 ,555,505. If we take 1913 ,456, ,7S9 as
the multiplicand, and interchanging the
figures of 45, take 54 as the multiplier,
we obtain another remarkable product,
6,666, sos. Returning to the multi
plicand first used, 9S7 ,645 ,321, and TAX
ing 54 as the multiplier again, we get
53,333, 1888 ,334-all threes except the first

One Way to get Rich.

Nothing is more easy than to grow
rich. 1t is only to trust nobody, to be-
friend none, to get everything and save
all you can get, to stint yourself and
everybody belonging to you, to be the
friend of no man and have no man for
your friend, to heap interest upon inter-
est, cent upon cent to be q mean mis-
cradle and despised for twenty or thirty
years, and riches will come as sure as
disease and disappointments. And
when pretty near enough wealth has
been collected by all disregard of the
human heart, and at the expense of
every enjoyment save that of wallowing
in filthy meanness, death comes to fin
ish the work; the body is buried in
hole, the heirs dance over it, and the
spirit goes-where

Window Glass.

There are seventy establishments in
the United States devoted to the produc-
ton of window-glass. Twenty-seven of
these are in New Jersey; the others are
scattered through New England, New
York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio
and-elsewhere in the West. The capital
invested in the industry is about S6,OOO,-
600 in New Jersey alone, while the an
nual propuction of that State is between
100000 and 100000 boxes of the vari-
GUS qualities and sizes of glass. The
window-glass manufacturing interest is
now one of the principal industries of
this country, and is destined to check
the importation of glass to America; in
fact, many of the American manufac-
turers are now exporting large quantities
of glass and glassware. 1t is believed
that fully three-fourths Of the factories
are now stopped-some few in Pitts
burgh being in operation. Somewhere
near $4,000 men and boys are now strik-
ing, and it is not improbable that that
number will be increased. The plate
glass for the San Francisco Stock Ex-
change is 1856 inches long and 100 inches
wide, and is said to be the largest glass
ever imported.

ALL WELL PLEASED.

THAT Barbara Hawkins owed good
L deal to her step-mother was fact
that she could not have concealed from
herself if she had tried.
Her fathers house had been a very
home of discomfort during the dull
interim between her own mothers death
and the arrival of the youthful and
winning stranger who had been some
how persuaded by Squire Hawkins to
"come and take keer of his little dar-
ter"
The history of the next five years, in
which she herself had grown from girl
hood to womanhood, included all the
genuine sunshine of Barbara's life, and
she knew to whom that change, and a
good many other excellent things, were
due.
Then, since the Squire had been gath
cred to his fathers, what a notable man
ager had Widow Hawkins proved her
self for the very moderate property he
had left behind himl
1t was just there that the difficulty
was now coming in, for that which,
with such good management, had kept
the two women very nicely so long as
they lived together, could continue to do
so only under just that state of affairs
The widows share, if set apart by itself,
would be only another name for power
ty. True, and yet what suitor, or at
least which one of the two ROW nearest
to proper condition for consideration,
would care to "marry mother-in-law, !"
and step-mother at that, as well as a
wife?
"And she understands it," said Bar
bara to herself that September after
noon, as well as do. She's as polite
to both of them as if they were courting
her instead Of me. must say it's been
very convenient once or twice, for they
both like her. In thct everybody likes
