The Spindle that Needed Oiling

An exchange gives an illustration OF
the way in which well known ven.
triloquist, who gives public exhibitions
sometimes exercises his gift in his idle
hours. He is great practical joker
Several years ago he was on board a
Mississippi river steamboat, and form
ing an acquaintance with the engineer
was allowed the freedom of the engine
room.
He took seat in the corner, and
pulling his hat down over his eyes, ap.
peared to be lost in reverie. Presently
certain part of the maollinery began
to squeak.
The engineer oiled it and went about
his usual duties. In the course Of a
few minutes the squeaking was heard
again, and the engineer rushed, oil can
in hand, to lubricate the same spindle.
Again he returned to his post, but il
was only few minutes until the same
old spindle was squeaking louder than
ever.
"Confound the thing" he yelled
cts bewitched" !" More oil was ad.
ministered, but the engineer began to
be suspicious as to its cause. Pretty
soon the spindle began to squeak again
and slipping up behind the ventrilo'
quist the engineer squirted half pint
of oil down the joker's back.
There" said he, 81 guess that spin
die won't squeak any more"
The joke was so good that the ven
triloquist could not keep it, and he of
ten tells it with as much relish as his
auditors receive it.

Quite an out-cry is being made about
the alleged dangers of the electric
light. Twas always thus. The wise
men of few years ago were afraid tc
use gas, for fear the gasometer might
blow them up as often as a shrewdish
wife. Others thought that applying q
match to gas jet would be analogous
to firing a train of gunpowder. The
light, it was argued, would run along
the pipe and cause an explosion every
time. Such, however, was not the
case. The explosions occur only quar-
terly, when the bills are brought in

DANGEROUS AMERICAN FORTUNES.
LONDON SDerf1tDr

There is evidence forthcoming from
America that fortunes may be aceumu-
lated on q scale Of which Englishmen
have little conception, and that when
they have been accumulated their in
crease may be sought from q motive
which is never quite satiatej, the thirst
for direct and indirect influence on
affairs. Europeans, even those who
study the subject, underrate American
fortunes, first, because they think the
rich must spend largely, and secondly,
because they assume, what is quite false,
that great wealth must be invested at
4 per cent. 1t may, as American ex-
ample shows, be invested by million
aires who do not care for rest in which
yields from three times to ten times
that rate. Now, the governing finan-
cial tact about the Vanderbilt railways
is that they are managed to yield, and
do yield, steady 10 per cent, and Mr..
Vanderbilt ought, therefore, 10 be pos
sessed of an income of e., 0OO, 900 q year.
1t is not, probably, so much, because
part Of his fortune must have been esti-
mated for probate duty on shares above
par; but, taking it at only million and
a-half, Mr.. Vanderbilt, who does not
spend unprOduetively the interest of his
dividends, nigh easily, at 20, own ESQ.,
600, OOe, yielding an average of s per
cent. None of his known rivals, per-
hapS, could do this; but their sons
might, and it is quite on the cards that
in 1920 the American Union may pos
seSS a dozen capitalists each with fifty
millions solidly invested, yielding in
comes of from three to four millions q
year. Be 1t observed, we do not in
clude any fresh making of money by
the millionaires, though they make it
every day; or any calculation about
compound interest, though there Is such
a force in movement in their favor.
We assume only that they live on the
interest Of their interest-in Mr.. Van
vest the remainder in the new railroads,
telegraphs, and steam lines which
they construct or regulate. The temp
tation so to accumulate, in country
where lazy wealth brings so little enjoy
ment, while working wealth brings
power, status, and celebrity Is great, and
the drawbacks to man not afraid OF
occasional threats, are not many. Rail-
way managers are easily found, other
stockholders take much work of the
millionaire's. hands, and rs against or
binary accident, so vast an investment
forms its own best insurance. If an
Englishman could own 81 per cent. OF
the Midland and Great Northern and
appoint any director he pleased, his
wealth would be fairly secure, much
more secure, than if he owned wheat
growing county in Fast Anglia. Is the
existence of a fortune of this kind, in
the hands of a man whose business in
life is the acquisition of power, safe for
the community. We cannot but feel a
doubt of 1t.

Romance and Reality.

Many ofthemagazine novelists cannot
write serial nowadays unless they in
troduee an editor among their Other
characters. II Is all right, Of course,
that they should make the editor do his
duty in fiction, but the novelist appeal
to have trouble in finding out the real
animal. As they depict him, the editor
attends all the 5 o'clock teas, passes
hours in the dining-rooms of swell hosts,
otherwise exhibits his intellectual brow
up town and down. The fact Is the
editor who edits dons his evening dress
ABOUT once o year, and during the other
1854 nights he may be found id the nth

Piles are frequently preceded by sense
OF weight in the back, loins and lower part
OF the abdomen, causing the patient to sup
pose he has some affection OF the kidneys
or neighboring organs. At times, symp-
toms OF indigestion are present, as hatu-
ency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A
moisture, ike perspiration, producing
very disagreeable itching particularly at
night after getting warm in bed, is a very
common attendant. Internal, External
and Itching Piles yield at once to the APP
plication of DR.. BoSanko's Pile Remedy,
which acts directly upon the parts affected,
absorbing the Tumors, allaying the intense
itching, and effectiDg a permanent cure
where all other remedies have failed. Do

produces permanent disability, but try it
