THE BACHELoR's ROOM.

The multiplication of bachelors apart
ment houses is responsible for the bachelors
room, which you will find nowadays as
often out of theapartment houses as in it.
The bachelor'srCom is not hall bedroom
or a three-storyback. tits fine, spacious
apartment which is supposed not only to
show at a glance that its occupant is a man,
but to give some evidence of the trend Of
his tastes. II he is artistic the fact is ex-
pected to declare itself in the fine virility of
the choice of proof etchings he has made;
water colors are held in more favor by
women. II he is musical his fiddle and
banjo. piano and flute proclaim it.
Oftener than either, however, one sees
an arrangement like this: Above the
mantel eros ed foiis with pair of fencers'
masks; upon the mantel, two pairs of box
ing gloves. On a long, unbroken side, a
panel of oars or paddles, fish nets and rods
with mounted deers' heads as climaxes;
upon the door q rawhide Navajo shield
HAND painted by some copper colored
impressionist with whitewash brush and
a pot of red ochre; upon another wall an
arrangement of guns of all nations, swords
and pistols; bronze of the Louvre gladia-
tor; a lariat in coil; a lacrosse or tennis
racket; minor trifies of sportive hue; no
pictures, except possibly some old line en-
cravings of hunting scenes.
The effect of all this is rather confusing at
best; it becomes comical when the bachelor
occupant is a soft-handed swell who couldn't
shoot a barn door at ten rods and never
pulled stroke oar in his life.

A LIVELY sCoTCHMAN.

l do not know any one who enjoys life
more than Andrew Carnegie. His lively
demeanor is an exception to the pomposity
usual among self-made millionaires. His
well-wrinkled face, with its frame of gray
hair and whiskers and its twinkling eyes, is
as CHEEKY as boys, aud his Niry little b dy
seems to know no fatigue. He thinks moth
ing of crossing the Atlantic in midwinter to
keep an appointment in New York, Pitts
burg or Edinburgh. To the three cities he
has made gifts aggregating millions of dol.
lars. The new music hall in New York
which was built for young Damrosch's con-
certs mainly by Carnegie's money is one of
the most splendid buildings of the sort in
the world. Mrs. Carnegie, splendid, tall,
well-rounded woman, with plenty of brains
and common sense but no pretensions to
beauty, is his constant companion upon his
travels, and their fine pride in each other
reminds one irresistibly of the romantic story
of their unsupported wooing and the we'd
ding which was a surprise to every one.

fCopwight)
NEW YORK, March 2s.-A densely packed
throng of well dressed people stood shiver-
ing before the door Of an immense brick
building in Brooklyn the other evening.
From time to time the door opened and
forty or fifty were admitted, when it would
be closed again until there was rooIn inside
for more Hurrying along the street came
rather short man, neither thickset nor
thin, with keen gray eyes, a shrewd and
kindly face, beardless except for a
short "chinner." He seized the situation
at glance.
"Come this way" be shouted to those on
the outskirts of the throng. "Ill let you in
at the back door" Then he started at a
dog trot down an alley at the side Of the big
building, followed by a hundred or so
people.
the man with the gray eyes was Charles
Pratt, and the building, Of course, the in
dustrial institute which he founded and
which is his pride and pet. Lit up in every
ness, 1t was an impressive monument to the
sagacity which has made Mr.. Pratt one of
the richest men in the country and the
generosity with which he uses his wealth,
as the waiting people at the door testified to
his unerring judgment in gauging a ''long
felt want" which would appeal to public
interest.
Within, the halls and passages were
crowded to suffocation. All the processes
of instruction were going on. There were
thousands of students, thousands of visitors.
There were boys and young men laying
bricks, doing carpenter work, sketching,
painting, plumbing, wood carving. There
were women and girls doing most of these
things and cooking, dressmaking and hat
trimming besides. There were rooms full of
splendid casts, books collections Of minerals,
curiosities. fabrics, art objects, samples of
student workmanship in every branch on
exhibition.
Two great buildings, one behind the
other, are already in use. Another larger
than either is soon to be built. All the
classes are full to overlooking. The best
experts obtainable are teaching them. The
completed plant will cover not lots but
acres and extend six stories into the air.
Yet it is only three or four years since
ground was broken for the first building.
