From the Industrial WORLD.
In q letter recently received from Bur-
NAH characteristic sketch is given in
illustration of the state of the country
under its present ruler, In which it is
stated that at Sagine there is what is
called the Kings workshop, which was
erected at the instance Of the last ruler
at al enormous expense, his idea being
to build steamers for his own and the
country's use. The shipbuilding yard
is Of Mandalsy, and the place at Sagine
was designed as foundry, in which
cast and wrought iron was to be
treated. Two large furnaces, if
teen boilers, three furnaces for cast
iron, seven large engines, five roll
ing mills for bar iron, and a quantity of
other machinery (including large
steam hammer, lathes, punching and
shearing machines, and stone and ore
crushers) hnve been put down. All
that is required is to start the fire and
raise steam yet this valuable property
is meantime cvergrown with the prod
ucts of the soil The large steam ham
mer is twined round with the beautiful
creepers; from out of one of the furnaces
grows a large prickly cactus; the roll
ing mills are shaded with large tree
ferns. The machinery, however, is not
rusted, though nearly ten years have
elapsed since the last king died. The
works were suspended at his death, and
the present king will neither spend
more money on the undertaking nor
sell it to others.

How Man lost a Fortune by
Needing His Ne1ghbor's Advice.

Patrick ODougherty was once we'll
TODD son of the Emerald isle in Water
town, n. Y, and owned a valuable
water-power, which the Remingtons
wanted for manufacturing purposes.
O'Dougherty was then enjoying pros
perity; the Remingtons were just begin
ming business which has since made
them the wealthiest family in Water
town. The property mentioned was
valuable, and $4,000 was offered for
it. As this was nearly five times its
original cost. O'Douglerty consented
to sell it willingly, and elated over the
big price of his property, he told his
good fortune to his friends. Quickly
he was informed by some wiseacre
that the Renlingtons would have given
him $40, 1000 more if he had asked
for it. He waited until a check
was presented him for the proper
ty at tho hour mentioned for clos
ing the bargain. This he refused, al
leging that it WAS not legal tender, and
then declared off; but the Remingtons
got their backs up and engaged a
lawyer; O'Dougherty also got his Irish
grit up aid employed another lawyer,
and the matter was taken into court.
There it has remained for years, and
there it is to-day. ODougherty is
dead, lawed into the grave, and his
property was solI to pay up costs
against him and bid in by the Reming-
tons. The latter then endeavored to
settle with their opponents lawyer, but
they could not, he being, in their
opinion, more stubborn than
O'Dcugherty, and on the question Of
costs the case is being carried from one
court to another, appeal following ap~
peal. The Remingtons have millions
to back them, and the suit may be ex-
pected to continue for years, or until
O'Dougherty lawyers funds give out.
This suit has probably cost nearly
500. 900, and is the result of meddle-
some neighbors and 'stubbornness.

the eleven months, S554, 100000 There is little

ed with May l, there is no change in the inter-

the debt for the month therefore consists of
incrcased cash III the treasury, which deducted
from the obligation, shows that the treasury is
stronger by the sum stated than it was one
month ago. The available cash balance is

600. This is the largest balance held by the
treasury since July, 1881, when it exceeded
Sill ,0GO 00O, and it is doubtful whether the
present balance has ever been so large with
the single exception named Most of the de-
ticiency appropriations made by congress
have been paid, together with other large sums
provided for extraordinary expenditures such
as Alabama awards and New Orleans expo
sition.

that the cost shall not exceed the le-
ultimate sum afforded by the provider,
whether that provider be the wearer,-
or husband or a father. If the cost
of the dress be beyond the$@sum that
can be afforded without effort of self
denial in things Of greater Importance
in the family life, it cannot be, no
matter how artistic, a source OF pleas
ure to the wearer or those whom she
dresses to please.
No husband can rejoice in the pos
session of a wife who is dressed in such
manner that he knows the thought
she will suggest to every friend is,
How can they afford it? No father
can rejoice in the consciousness of
stylishly dressed daughter when he
knows that his friends would have q
higher respect for him and for his
family if they dressed in q manner
suited to their position financially.
1t is the Christian duty of every moth
er to educate her daughters to this
fitness Of position, to time and place;
and this education must begin in
childhood. Whatcan be more incon-
gruous than to see father with hands
grimed and disfigured by his daily
labor, coat old and shabby, shoes
showing intimate acquaintance with
the cobbler, leading by the hand q
tiny little one clothed IN plush coat,
deep cotton-lace collar, and head COW
cred by a monstrosity of velvet and
featherse But the baby is filled with
the sense Of her fine clothes, and is
learning her first lesson, that the COM
fort and peace Of the family is second
| AIRY to the style and cut of her clothes.
1t has not been an unniIlgated bless
ing to the laboring and poorer classes
OF our country that cheap grades of
expensive materials are possible be-
cause of the mechanic arts. 4 thing
may be beautiful in itself that will not
be beautiful, or even pleasing, when
| not surrounded by harmonious condi-
tons.
a dress that, all other conditions
being equal, would be delight in the
parlor ON a reception day, seems sac
~ out of place ON Fourteenth street,
with the wearer's arms filled with
brown paper parcels, and the wearer' s
face drawn and haggard because bat
tie OF buying ten dollars worth OF
goods for tive dollars has been going
on for hours. We know when we
look ut the wearer that the costume
must answer for all occasions-party,
church and street. All the money
that could be gotten together went to
purchase an outfit that is out of all
harmony with the wearer's position in
life. Instead of looking with pleas
ure, we give sigh for weak humanity
and its lack OF independence, and
pass on.

ize the enormity of the sin OF living

daily papers will record fewer en-

Men Who Break Down.

MIR. COnant, says an eastern paper,
belonged to a class which, taken in
the larger sense, includes nearly all
professional men-physicians, lawyers
and clergymen, as we'll as journalists.
This class is misnamed the intellectual
class, for the work of merchants, bank
ers, inventors, builders, IN fact all
men who are required to necessarily
use their Judgment and designing
faculties, is as strictly intellectual as
that of the man who edits newspa-
per, writes poem or composes SER
mon. Bankers and builders, mer-
chants and master mechanics, break
down as frequently as editors and
preachers, the only difference being
that they are not SO prominent, and
consequently not so much talked about.
l know a floor walker in a great dry
goods store whose mental organization
is exactly like that of certain clergy
men and journalists, and once in
awhile breaks down just us some
preachers and editors do, and for the
same reason: l know contractor
who is of pure mind and correct hab-
ITS, but for once, after having secured
a contract in which there was sure
little fortune. strayed from home and
was not found and brought back until
his family and business friends had
given away to the cruelest suspicious
as to the cause Of his disappearance.
What is the matter with these men?
Well, the same trouble that drives
thousands OF women TO the mad house,
the invalid chamber, or untimely
death. Their work is never done
not if they are fit for their respective
positions. A managing journalist may
have the pleasantest position and most
considerate employers in the world,
but he wants it better; his competitors
are as energetic as himself. and the
doings Of the day will not arrange
themselves according to the mental
convenience OF any man alive. So the
editor falls into rut--that is, he
his work. His office hours may end
daily at stated time, but his work
does not end with them; he fills his
pockets with manuscripts, another
with books, takes handful of news
papers and starts for home to continue
his daily routine. In the course of
time he finds himself forgetful or
sluggish of mind; then he consults
either physician or a barkeeper and
swallows whatever is given him. With
the relief thus temporarily obtained
he goes on, imagining himself cured,
but soon he finds himself obliged to
return for stronger doses. !
In the course of time stimulants, no
matter how honestly taken, cease to
stimulate, for the simple reason that
nothing is left to work upon. The
man is used up and the day comes
when the tired mind, incapable of do
ing anything else, begins to turn upon
and destroy itself. just as any other
broken down machine always does.
But where one editor fails in this way
a score Of other professional men fol.
low SUIT.

About Dress.

No observing person will contradict
the statement that there is a moral in
Huence in good clothes. Any school
teacher will tell you that the most in
corrigible pupil is more pliable, more
teachible, when clothed in new Jack
ct or dress; even new paper collar,
the remains of Sunday finery, has been
known to eiyilize and humanize while
it remained unsoiled; and new bow
of ribbon on a girl who scarcely sug-
gested a feminine quality has made a
gentle, womanly monitor while the
ribbon remained bright. There are
hundreds OF teachers who would glad
ly keep stock Of clothing as an aid
to discipline were it proper or feasible
to do SO
The influence of good clothes is not
confined to the ragged, unframed ele-
ment of the community. A glove or
shoe without buttons. q dress with
braid in ragged condition, has thrown
an able woman from her usual poise OF
calm and dignifed self-reliance into
one of distrust and helplessness. In
deed, il is an accepted fact
that ono must be clothed in har-
mony with the time, the place,
and the position in order to be self
forgetful. f., #~@ = t.%~ 81 e
By the same law can woman be
hidden behind the gorgeousnoss OF her
attire. How many carry away from
an assembly only the remembrance OF
an extravagant' or self-asserting cos.
tune, and no consciousness OF the
wearer! How often women on the
