THE WORLDS WAY.

A prophet is not without honor
save 10 his own country, is a strange
truth of almost daily fulIfilment. Few
men can recognize in those nearest
to them anything of special great
ness. And the real great have often
to appeal to strangers and distant
time for full recognition of their
worth. The secret of it is, that the
majority of people take their opin>
ions second hand. Men who set
themselves as intelligent critics, and
ought to be able to recognize true
worth wherever it is, are as depend
eut upon a set of ideas that has
grown up in criticism as any one
else is dependent upon some other
mans thought for his judgment of
things. In Michael Angeles days
there was a multitude of these Sec
ond hand opinioned critics who could
see no good in any contemporaueous
work, but went into ecstacies over
any uneartbed work of antiquity.
Angelo chiseled fine statue of a
sleeping beauty, broke one arm off
and then buried it where be knew
it would be discovered. 1t was dis
covered; the critics went into costa
cies over it. 1t was pronounced 81
perior to any modern work. When
Angelo had enjoyed sufficiently the
exhibition of their ignorant preju>
dice, he produced the arm, and
proved that the statue was of bis own
handiwork. The modification of the
critics was a splendid lesson. And
a lesson, dear reader, that you need
to lesrn in many things. Find the
real heroisms of life in your own
home, the noblest traits of character
among your own friends. The beau
ty and worth that lies near is the
best. Rocks may lie close to the
blossoming violet, bat the violet is
just as beautiful, just as fragrant as
any that grows in the great garden
in the palace over the mountains
Don't wait till all the tongues go
clacking about something before you
can learn to love anything Find
your own objects of love and admi
ration be your own discoverer of
the continents of worth. Honor the
prophet, though he be of your own
country and your own kin.

A LESSON IN MONEY BORROW
ING

Mr.. Peter Cooper was always a
careful and prudent business man.
He was strongly opposed to the
methods of many merchants, who
launched out into extravagant enter~
prises on borrowed money, for which
they paid exorbitant rates of inter
est. Once while talking about g
project with ali acquaintance, the
latter said he you'd have to borrow
the money for six months, paying
interest at the rate of three per cen
tum per month. "Wby do you Dor
row for so short time 7" Mr.. Coop.
or asked. "Because the brokers
will not negotiate bills for longer"
Well, if you wish, said Mr.. Cooper,
II will discount your note for SO,
900 for three years at that rate
Will you do it ~ "Of course | will, i"
said Mr.. Cooper, "just sligo this note
for $40, 900, payable in three years,
and give me your check for $500,
and the transaction is complete. y
"But where is the money for me 7"
asked the astonished merchant
"You don't get any money" was the
reply. "Your interest for thirty six
months, at three per centum amounts
to l08 per ceutum, or $40 500;
therefore your check for $500 just
makes US even" The force of this
practical illustration of the folly of
paying such au exorbitant price for
the use of money was such that the
merchant determined never to Dor,
row at such ruinous rates, and he
frequently used to say that nothing
could have as fully convinced him as
this rather humorous proposal of Mr.
Cooper.

READ AND REFLECT.

We commend the following extract
to the careful consideration of those
who are ever finding fault with editors
and the way they conduct their pa
pers San editor is often obliged
to occupy a very delicate position.
His sense of right will often cause
him to attack or defend a man, a
business a class or cause, at the
risk of making enemies of others,
ouly to find those 10 whose interest
be has labored display ingratitude
Of course no level headed editor ex
poets to fDd much gratitude of char
ity. He must generally be content
with the approval of his own con"
science, aud pursue the course be
believes to be right, regardless of Ell
Their frowns or smiles, supposed by
bis conscious rectitude. II will come
all right in the end. 1t is hard to
be misunderstood, and to find those
to whose support you have earned
right, desert you, to meet alone the
attacks of those you have inceused
in pursuing the course you were
convinced was right but you will
hereby learn q lesson Of self reliance
and from habit of judging entirely
for yourself that will be invaluable.
You will always be able to tell the
truth, however distastful, and refuse
20 utter falsehood, no matter how
much pleasanter it may promise to
make things"

A FORTUNE SAVED.

Twenty years ago, says one OF our
exchanges, a large manufacturing
concern in New England, running
several mills, and using about fifty
steam boilers, began to burn anthra-
cite screenings under their boilers
in their mills. When they first com.
menced, the fuel was purchased very
low, as it was then a waste and a
drug. With the improvements made
in combustion, it's use has become
more general and the price has ad.
arced, so that the difference is now
only about two dollars ton. Now,
allowing that this difference is all
that has been saved from the start,
and estimating daily consumption
of one ton of fuel per boiler, doing a
duty of three hundred days a year,
we find an economy of between five
and six hundred thousand dollars
over what it would have been if
lump coal had been used. This firm
are now changing their boilers to
use this fuel by utilizing the waste
gases with hot air on top of the fire.
AS there is estimated to be millions
of pounds of screenings wasted at
the mines every year, it is astonish
ing that none of the large cotton
mills adopt this fuel. There are
several mills in Lowell, Lawrence
and Manchester that burn from ten
to twenty eight thousand tons of
lump anthracite coal every year,
while actual experience has demon
strated that the screenings, when
properly fired, will make as much
steam per ton as the best grades.

WHAT Is THE USE OF SNAKES P

c. G. Hopey, in his very intert st
ing work on Snakes, writes of their
usefulness as follows:
"Persons who dislike snakes con-
tinually ask, what is the use of
them 2 That they are not without
use will, l hope, appear in the
course of this work, were it neces>
sary to preach that all things have
their use. But in one habit that
offended Lord Bacon, namely that
of going on their BELLY lies one of
their greatest uses, because that, to-
gether with their internal formation
and external covering, enables them
to penetrate where no larger carniv-
orous animal could venture, into
dark and noisome morasses, bog jun
giles, swamps, amid the tangled veg,
citation of the tropics, where swarms
of the lesser reptiles, on which so
many of them feed, would otherwise
outbalance the harmony of nature,
die, and produce pestilence.
"Wondrously and exquisitely con
structed for their habitat, they are
liable to exist where higher animals
could not; and while they help to
clear those inaccessible places of
lesser vermin, they themselves sup
ply food for number of the smaller
mammalia, which, with many car
nivorous birds, devour vast numbers
of young snakes. The hedgehog,
weasel, ichneumon, rat, peccary,
badger, hog, goat, and an immense
number of birds keep snakes within
due limits, while the latter perform
their part among the grain-devour-
ing and herbivorous Lesser creatures.
Thus beautifully is the balance of
nature maintained"

THE AVERAGE JUROR.

A writer iu one of the leading jour
nails in the country says: There is
something phenomenal in the way
that many meu lose their sense as
soon as they are drawn to serve as
Jurors. Individuals who, 10 the walks
of private life, are regarded as espec-
isly bright specimens of humanity,
no sooner take their seats in the jury
box than they are suddenly trans
formed into imbeciles of the most uu>
happy description. Very few, in
deed, seems to understand that their
sole duty 10 to render a verdict &C
cordiug to the evidence before them.
Nearly all imagine that they are to
act as interpreters of the law, and a
great majority seem to regard them
selves as arbiters entrusted with the
settlement of dispute according to
their individual preferences. In
many instances jurors will spend
many weary hours OF consultation
and debate over cases which, to the
mind of the court, the bar and the
outside public, are as plain as the
MONDAY sun, and then come 10 with
a verdict entirely in conhic! with the
evidence and at variance with the
conclusion to which everybody else
has arrived. Their methods, too, are
often very singular. Property, ! b.
erty, and even the question of life
or death, have been made to depend
upon the tossing of coin in the ju
ry room. There is, il fact, hardly
any eccentricity of which the aver
age jury man is not liable to be gull
ty."

DUDLEY's TELEPHONE.
The Rapidity with Which the Business of the
Pension Office Is Conducted


Special to New York Tribune.
1t is interesting to wonder what the cir
cumlocution office-if it can be possible that
there is still such bureau anywhere under
any government-would think of Colonel
Dudley's telephone Colonel Dudley is the
Commissioner of Pensions-a brisk, ener-
getic man at the head of probably the busiest
bureau in the government He has SOL
dier's impotence with slow processes, and
no fondness for following red tape through
all its convolutions. So there runs over his
desk an ugly metal elbow, and on the end,
within easy distance, is the telephone. The
Commissioner is on the second floor of the
building. That floor is full of clerks and
there are four floors more of clerks above
him. Two blocks away on the avenue is
a large building also full of clerks, and
there are others-nearly 1000 in all.
The telephone commands the entire army.
The Commissioner wants to give direction.
He signals the operator: Give me Smith"
Smith is probably on the third floor of the
building two blocks away, but he has a tele-
phone on his desk also, and he answers al
most as quickly as if he were talking to the
Commissioner across his table. The direction
is given in an instant, and the Commissioner
turns to the next matter space mas been
apnhiIated and red tape is nowhere. A con-
gresham asks for information of the status
of the claim of the needy mother of boy
who was shot dead at Atlanta. ''Give me
Gibbs" remarks the Commissioner to the
telephone. Gibbs is promptly bestowed
upon him. Tell me the status of claim
100000, Mary s. Brown, mother of Paul
Brown, Twentieth New York volun-
teers" Gibbs wants to know if
any additional evidence has been
filed-that is, evidence supplying points
which were wanting in the evidence first
submitted. There has been, but when the
congressman does not know. Give me
Peters," says the Commissioner turning
away, and in a moment Peters Is busy look
ing up the record. A moments talk, the
bell sounds, the Commissioner listens. and
then tells the congressman that the case
needs better evidence of the mothers de-
pendeuee on the son, and cannot be passed
until that is furnished. And so on. The
whole cost of the telephone service is 5000
year, less than is paid to one messenger, but
doing the work of many,
The amounto of business transacted by this
bureau is enormous Its monthly mail is as
large as that of city of 10000 inhabitants.
During March there were received about
$1,000 pieces of mail matter, and there were
sent over 130000-not all the communica-
tons requiring acknowledgment.
