The romance of electric inventions has not
its counterpart in fiction. Alittlc more than
a decade ago, Telephone Bell, who is now
worth Sc, 0Oo, 900, was walking about Wash

telephone stock for tcu cents on the dollar.
Shortly before this he was teaching Il deaf

OWNS Il magnificent residence, and his soul

The telephone gavca great impetus to elcc.

followed it. and there is II millionaire in
Cleveland, named Brush, who was working

Where one business man dies of solid, honest
hard work, n score pass the slladowy portals

The Cost of an Education.

In speaking Of the relative cost Of college
cducations in the great universities in Europe
i'll comparison with the expense necessary to
complete the course in American institu-
tions of learning Il recent graduate of tho
Glasgow university, Scotland, said to Il rp-
porter:
1.-The total cost of Il college education in
The old country is considerably smaller than
1t is hero, and especially is it true of the Scot
fish universities, where | imagine the outlay
is at Il minimum, even below that required ut
the great universities of Germany. ! know,
personally, that there AFRO many students at
Glasgow who are able to pay all their collegi-
ate expenses. including their living, clothes
and books, for about $3.50 per Year, and they
are the envy of their fellows, many Of whom
are compelled to he content with much less.
How far, think YOU, would that sum &C at
Harvard or Yale! Everything connected
with life i'll Scotland tends to make the
student economical and forces him to cut
down his expenditures to the lowest possible
figure, and nobody convcrsant with the facts
will deny that an education can be bought in
that country cheaper than i'll any place in tho
world.
"In the matter of discipline" the speaker
added, "tLc rules of the Scotch universities
are the most stringent, and such rs would not
be tolerated by tho American college student
Of today, but | think that the results are bet.
t2r there than here, for when you find IL mar
who holds his degree from Il Scotch college
you will, in nine cases out of ten, find /;
yrandly educated gentleman and an honest
man. Such, at least, has been my expert
cnce, and | would advocate the practic,
among parents who havethoughtful, studlou:
sous of sending them to one Of the universe

and where the surroundings of the SUDDEN
are such that, in order to maintain Il rcput

A Steamers Roustabout Crew.

On a short regular run like wo have pco.
plo generally suppose we have the same
roustabout crew from one end of tho season
to the other. Some rousters do stay right
along, but we don't nave the same lot on two
trips by any means. They change around,
SO on some other run, lay up for n time, or
something, we don't know what, but some Ct
them we never see again. The %rouster, low
ever, is not such a bad creature as he is gen.
orally supposed to be. He does an enormous
amount of work, and in time that beats rail
road freight handling all to nothing. Then
he is not particular as to his quarters or his
bed. Anything is good enough for him, and
n pile of rope or cordage is a luxury. Then
he don't need to be hammered and cursed at,
as is generally supposed, and as ho often is.
My mate will stand on the bow of the boat
and watch them work, and direct tho manner

where any kind of labor is employed, but
where there is considerable noise and hustle

Tho electrical inventions of the patent Of

Since that time over eight thousand have
been granted, and we now give out over u
thousand patents or electrical inventions
every year.
And still electricity is in its infancy. 1t
has made many of the big fortunes of today,
and the Bell telephone ard the Western
Union telegraph are founded upon it. There
are now electric street cars in many of the
cities of the country, and a company has been
formed in Baltimore to run a lighting ex.

Being with our o:n so mucl, va grew ac-
quaintcd with all the personal n .'u!:arities of
each. They were not blooclri cattle, with
Short horns and heavy bodies, but great,
ran..y. picbald creatures. with long. keen
horiis, and wild eyes when reused. We cX-
ul,al when tive strong and rcsolutc steers
approached each other with the fcrocious
| signs of battle. The lowered heads and
lolling tongues; tho stiffcncd, swelling nccks;
the wrinklcd skin round the rolling eyes;
the deep, ominous roar of their voices; tho
cautious, sidelons approach, like skilled box
crs-all these led up to the sudden crash
ings of the meeting skulls and horns.
And then follow the straining thrlsts,
the sudden %rclaxations to get an adj
vantage, the clashing of shaken and
interlocked horns, the deep breathing,
the terrible glare of the bloodsllot eyes. Now
the brindle gets the upper hold and presses
the white to the ground, nearly shutting off
his breath; now the white gathers himself
for one last, mighty effort, and lifting tho
other upon his horns, literally runs away
with him.
This ends the battle; for, curiously enough,
tho victor i'll such cases is not vindictive-
once fallen always beaten, is the rulo with u
steer or cow. Each herd had its champion,
and SO accurate did we become in the reading
of these bovine characters that we could tell
