NOT a HAPPY THOUGHT.
The Trials and "Tribulations of a Societ!
Young Man.

The Trials ana Tribulations of a Society
Young Man.
While the society girl is a subject of
so much sympathy and commentin the
newspapers, it might not be amiss to
cast d kindly glance toward the young
society man. Unquestionably the sea-
son, tells heavily upon debutantes, but
after they have been out for a year Or
two they thrive upon fashionable life
in a way that is wonderful to see. The
leaders who set the pace In the lively
circles of New York society are with
out exception magnificent specimens of
robust and beautiful womanhood. They
have bright eyes and clear skins; they
are quick of movement and apparently
happy. Although the years roll by,
many of the old LEADERS Continue to
keep in the van, and the incessant
round of balls and parties has no other
effect upon them than to emphasize
their charms.
Meanwhile how about the society
man? Any M who casts a~9glance at
the vacuous, round-shouldered and
narrow-chested youths who block the
doorways at evening entertainments,
and drag themselves YEARLY through
their social PAGES by day, will see what
veal and tear society exercises upon
the system of the masculine portion OF
the Four Hundred. The main trouble
with a society nan is that he does not
get enough sleep. His sister goes to a
ball in a comfortable brougham, very
often after having taken q cosy and
healthful nap after dinner, and dances
until about two OR three o'clock in the
morning with vivacity. The next
morning she sleeps snugly in her bed
until eleven or twelve o'clock. The
whole house is hushed that the beauty
of the family may indulge in her re-
pose, and after eight or nine hours OF
healthful slumber she lounges around
in an easy wrap over breakfast, and
then goes to walk, ride or drive, pre-
cisely as an athlete would who is train
ing and building up his strength.
AACL DAO04OA SOCo w AO DdIlS OdICCS
until three o'clock, lights a big cigar,
smokes it on his way home, tumbles
into bed at a quarter to four, is reused
at eight, dresses hastily, and runs
down town after hv riedly swallowing
a mouthful of breaIa asst. All day long
he works with a Reavy head. and at
short intervals he builds up his failing
strength by visits to the nearest cafe.
At the end of five years, or even at the
end of two, the difference between
brother and sister is wonderfully dis
tinct. Any body can observe the con-
trast who cares to look at society peo-
pie. Take any of the horseshoe curves
at the Metropolitan Opera House, for
instance, and observe the pallid,
wearied and languid men who sit be-
hind the radiant beauties that adorn
the boxes. It is a picture of full sig
nificance. Once a Week.

Old Hutch's Secret.

B. P. Hutchinson, better known as Old
Hutch, astonished the world by the manner
in which he manipulated the Chicago wheat
market-making, tits said, the enormous sum
of $4,000 600, on his wheat deals, in less
than a month. Eccentric; possessed OF
| little education, his success seemed marvel
ous. %
His friends and those who know bih best
were not surprised.
A prominent resident broSer Of Chicago,
who knows him web, tersely sums up
Hutchinson in these words: 'What he knows,
ee knows well, and that's Old Hutch's Sc
| cret.n
We once heard a prominent stock oper-
ator, speaking of Jay Gould, remark: "He
knew a year ago what the balance of US ere
just finding out. Gould knows his business
thoroughly and we don't, else we, too, would
be Goulds.'
A noted manufacturer Of certain medici-
nal remedies has achieved a worldwide
reputation simply because he possesses a
thorough knowledge of his business.
Enterprising and progressive, he was not
disposed to rest content with the introduce
ton of the only genuine remedy for the
prevention and cure Of I'll kidney and liver
disorders, the name M character of War
ner's Safe Cure being Familiarity known ir
every household throughout the entire CIV
ilized world-but he concluded to further
benefit the world and revive some old-fash-
Toned remedies which have, for 2 period,
been lost.
Re-discovered, they are the Oldest, the
newest and the best.
Used when the Pilgrim Fathers landed,
they have been much improved upon and
ore now known as "Warner's Log Cabin
Cabin S~arsaparilla,' - for the blood, and clog
Cabin Hops and Buchu Remedy" a tonic
and stomach remedy.
Old Hutch's secret is worth it's millions of
dollars to him, and millions of people in the
United States will rejoice that they are now
enabled to secure the best Of those old-tlme
Log Cabin Remedies through the use of
which our grandparents attained and en-
joyed rugged, healthy old age.

BASEBALL MAKING.

Machines which DO Their Work Auto
matically and with Great Rapidly.
The enterprising boy who has batted
the cover off a base ball has probably
investigated its internal organization
and knows of what it is made, but
perhaps the average boy does not
know how it is made.
All base balls are made in Philadel-
phia, and there is only one kind of
professional dead ball made, the sup
posed differences lyi1g in the stitches
and stamps only.
Winding base balls by hand is a
thing of the past. Machines have
been invented to do the work automat-
ically, consequently every bali is ex-
actly like its fellow. Each machine
winds two balls at one time.
A little Para rubber ball, weighing
three-quarters of an ounce, around
which one turn has been made with an
end of a skein of old-fashioned gray
stocking yarn, is slipped into the ma
chine. Then another, after which the
boy in charge touches q lever, the
machine starts and the winding be-
gins.
The rubber ball is hidden in a few
seconds, and in its place appears a lit
tie gray yarn ball that rapidly grows
larger and larger. When it appears
to about half the size of a regulation
base bali, there is a click, the ma
