Value orthe Worlds Railroads.

The railroads OF the world are to-day
worth from twenty-five to thirty thou
sand million dollars. This probably
represents one-tenth OF the total wealth
of civilized nations, and one-quarter, if
not one-thlrd, of their invested capital.
1t Is doubtful whether the aggregate
plant used in all manufacturing indus
tries can equal it in value The capital
engaged in banking is but a trihe be-
side 1t. The worlds whole stock of
money of every kind, gold, silver and
paper, would purchase only a third of
its railroad.
Yet these facts by no means measure
the whole Importance of the railroad in
the modern industrial system. The
business methods OF to-day are in one
sense the direct results of improved
means of transportation. The railroad
enables the large establishment TO reach
the markets of the world with its pro-
ducts; it enables the large cities to re-
ceive their food supplies, If necessary,
from a distance of hundreds or thou
sands of miles. And while 1t thus IA
vors the concentration OF capital, it is
in itself an extreme type of this con-
centration. Almost every distinctive
feature of modern business, whether
good or bad, finds In railroad history
at once its chief cause and its fullest
davelODment

IDEAS ARE WORTH MONEY.
Make Them and You Can Sell Them
for Big Prices.

A half dozen OF the most successful
nen were recently asked what chance
young men have to get along IN the
world these days, writes New Y ork
correspondent, Mr.. Jay Gould, Mr..
Russell sage, Mr.. James Gordon Ben
nett, DR.. NorvIn Green and Charles a.
Dana said the outlook was never SO
good as now.
"What one quality should they pos
sess TO succeed bestr" was asked each.
Russell Sage replied, Caution" Jay
Gould, perseverance," DIR. Green,
Hard work." Mr. Bennett, Enter
prise;" Mr.. Dana, brains"
Perhaps Mr.. Joseph Pulitzer. of the
TForEd, summed it up in the best way
MY dear sir" he said to an appli-
cant for a position on the Word some
time ago "what can you do?"
Anything" was the cheerful reply.
"Yes, but you must certainly be
able 10 do one thing better than an
other"
''Oh, yes" was the response. AZ can
write well on most any subject, am a
good executive man and am fertile in
ideas"
"Oh," was Mr.. Pulitzer's reply,
''fertile in ideas" And he drew his
CudlI up CLOSER 10 his VlSlIOT anu pe6TcO
anXiOusly into his face. "Then you
are just the man L want. How many
good ideas have you lying around loose
that L could utilize in increasing the
circulation of the World?"
''Oh, could give you twenty" was
the calm rejolnder.
Twenty" said Mr.. Pulitzer in as
tonishment.
es, sir, twenty"
"Well, now try it. Go home anu
write me out twenty good ideas or sug-
gestions for increasing the circulation of
the World. Send me your list to-
morrow. l will pay you 500 for each
idea L accept. My check for 81 900 will
be mailed to you at once if L accept
them all. and L hope I can, for we need
new ideas here all the time, and then
We can make a permanent arrange
ment. l will pay you SlO0 a week for a
good idea, and you needn't come to
the office, either. Yes, I'll do more;
III buy you fine pair of horses, so
that you may drive around town and
enjoy yourself in the park. Your for
tune is made If you can do as you say. +"
The young man did send in his
ideas, carefully written out, and they
were promptly returned to him as
worthless. Instead of riding through
the park In a luxurious coach he is
now holding down a chair In a Bowery
cheap lodging house.
He possessed brass, but not brains.

CAPTAIN THOMSON, whose vessel the
steamer Benvenue, was caught in the
recent great typhoOn in the China sea,
saws of the centre of the typhoon: 1T
was filed with lightning. and a heavy
roar made 1t impossible to distinguish
the noise Of the wind from that of the
thunder. The smell, too, of electricity,
like the smell of burning sulphur, was
so intense as to cause an almost over
powering sensation of suffocation, and
the biscuits and food not washed away
by the storm tasted so Of sulphur rs to
be unfit for use"

We've SaId the Same.

Now and then we see a boy smoking
tobacco In the street.
We saw three boys between twelve
and fourteen years old doing so In the
Bowery, New York. Two of them had
burning cigarettes In their mouths, and
one of them smoked pipe. They were
out showing of.
Don't learn to smoke, boysl
1t Is poor and foolish habit.
1t is a wasteful habit, in which good
money is spent for bad weed.
1t is an unwholesome habit. harmful
to the lungs, which take in the air de-
6led by it.
1t is habit that often gives offense
20 the fair sex and to the mothers of
many boys
IL is an unclean habit.
So, dear boys, don't learn to smoke!

THE Missouri Court of Appeals has
given great joy TO the railway dead
heads. It has affirmed the judgment
Of lower court, which decided that
notwithstanding the holder Of a free
pass agrees to assume all risks of acci-
dent, yet it is the duty of the railroad
company to do all that human care,
skill and ingenuity can devise in the
way Of safe coaches, tracks and ma
ehinery and to keep the same in proper
repair, and even If the passenger were
free rider they were liable for damage
that might follow Il disre gard of these
precautions.

Silver Bowls for Fruit and Salads.

Silver fruit dishes are In the shape
of low bowls, and are generally round,
although some oval and flaring forms
are seen with waving fiuted ornament.
These bowls have sometimes bulging
sides but they are usually straight,
and have a band like effect. This
band is enriched with repousse orna-
ment, designs in outline and polished
against an oxidized background, and
ornament modelled in relief and ap-
piled, Some beautiful designs of this
kind are seen in which hchrysanthemums
with detached petals are carefully
drawn from nature. The sugar bowl
and creamer usually accompany them,
and they are all luxuriously encased.
Silver salad bowls are plainly distin-
guishable by their ornament. They
are more irregular In form than fruit
bowls. The edges are curving and
crumpled in leaf like suggestions.
Crab sea weed and bits of net inclosing
shells and marine forms are among the
designs.

Two hundred million dollars for de-
fenses on the frontier of France against
possible attacks from Germany-that is
the proposed expenditure that agitates
France. Such works would get rid of
a surplus If France had any, but there
the surplus must first be crea ted by ad-
ditional taxation. And, after all, the
defensive works may be of no use as
was the case with Metz in the late war.

WILL IT BE ANOTHER vaudeville

read Irish history to advantage, at least
FOR the current year. Professor Gefcken
Is suffering from being lockei up, as
Vaudeville did. although there IS no
reason to suppose that scant food ana
Jail clothing have anything to do with
increasing it. 1t Is curious to note tha1
Gefcken's offence is only that OF max
ing public part OF the late Emperor
Frederick's diary. This is one OF the
offences where part is greater than
the whole. Vaudeville, the Irish

Tor the future to tell whether Germany's
political prisoner will have even thai
much Of consideration for his feeble

IT is a notable fact that in cases
where disaster or death occurs at a rail
road crossing, coroner's juries Investing
such accidents say that the fault is not
because the companies do not vlgilant-
ly guard and watch against such occur
rences. but because the crossings exist,
and the public are not prudent AMI
careful enough in their use.
