AN Artist,s peculiar PredIcament.

Mr.. Charles e. Proctor is an artist who works
at his profession for love. not because he has
particular need for money. His father is Vice
President and his grandfather President Of the
Singer Sewing Machine Company. Mr.. Proc.
tor, the artist is, therefore. of rich but honest
parents. He is also very clever with pencil and
brush. A short time ago he painted a portrait
of the late lamented Fessenden that has at
tracted considerable attention. The familiar
background of the picture, the face of SlO
bill, was also reproduced with true artistic
skill. The whole was placed in jewelers. win
dow on Broadway and was very much admired.
couple Of these admirers shortly afterwards
called on the youthful artist and inquired II
the picture was really and truly his work, you
know.
"I'm the man" said Mr.. Proctor, scenting an
important order.
'Then, sir, will you kindly come along with
us7, said one Of the gentlemen. =.
"Yes. you'll have to come along with us"

THE FIRST COST OF GAS.

The statement that manufactured fuel gas
can be placed in the pipes at a primary cost
of 1Lc per thousand has lately been made as
conveying an assurance that the supply ofgas
will be permanent and ample in future. II
true. the fact that fuel gas is scarce at Is
cents per thousand when needed, and that
the mills are burning coal in a way to waste
millions annually in SCOT and smoke, indi-
Gates a radical deficiency somewhere in the
social and personal makeup of this great
industrial community.
A great deal has been heard in the past
of the cheapness at which manufactured gas
can be placed in the pipes. The figure has
been stated all the way from nothing
which the cost named above closely approx
imates-to IL per thousand, the figure named
by gas expert of this city some years ago.
The wide gap between the highest of these
figures and the charge of 81 90 per thousand
for illuminating gas, and that between the
lowest and the charge of 15 cents per thou
sand for fuel gas-with the expectation in
the average householder. But there is
anotner feature even more impressive. A
thousand feet of gas is, by a rough approx
imation. the fuel equivalent OF bushel of
coal. If manufacturers are burning coal at
614@7c when they could get gas at 1Nc, and
save enough on the cost Of handling the
coal and ashes, and the perfect regulation
of the heat, to pay interest on the gas plant,
they must be willing to pay q long price for
the privilege of darkening the atmosphere
and soiling the city.
The hiatus between the asserted cost of
producing gas and the rising prices of fuel
gas is calc ulated to arouse doubts as to the
accuracy of the first named figures. But
there is enough corroboration to be certain
that there are remarkable compensatlons in
the making of coal gas. One alone of the by
products, coal tar. has increased skiold In
price during the last fifteen years, while in
q more recent period coke has doubled in
price. It is we'll worth time to direct
authoritative inquiries as to the figure
which would afford, on q large consumption,
q fair profit above the first cost of manufac-
turing either fuel or illuminating gas.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-05-10
THE BEST WAY TO USE 1T.

The Governors recommendation, that the
money received from tho United States for
the return OF the direct tax shall be applied,
together with the uninvestod portion Of the
sinking fund. 10 the payment Of the debt
maturing next February, meets with almost
universal approval. This will leave undIs.
turbed the Invested portion Of the sinking
fund.
There IL no more business like disposition
OF surplus funds than 10 apply them to the
payment of drbt. No honest individual or
organization with money to invest can in
vest il more securely than In his or Its own
obligations. Besides this business propriety
this course would be appropriate from the
fact that part OF the State debt is the re-
suit of war expenditures, which would have
been lessened except for the payment of the
direct tax TO the General Government.
Governor Pattison's recommendation has
becn endorsed without regard to party
lines, and a bill has been introduced by
Mr.. Taggart for the same purpose. 1t is to
be hoped that the Legislature will direct
this ,lain, business-like disposition of the
money without permitting politics to creep
into the matter.

preserve the most popular feature of the
project.
The continued inability to comprehend
this most important and characteristic part
Of the project is evinced by a Journalistic
remark that it is proposed ''at some time In
the future" to establish district libraries in
various parts Of the city. 1t is one of the
condition. of the plan that the district libra
ries shall be completed and turned over to
the city as soon as the main buildings are
1t is not necessary to start work on them
first because it will only take two seasons
at most to construct them, while four sea-
sons at least will elapse before the main
buildings will be ready. The district libra
ries might be completed two years before
the main buildings if it is determined that
the city wishes to appropriate the money to
operate them.
When our esteemed cotemporaries fully
master the fact that the most important
feature Of the Carnegie donation, both in
popular use and in the amount of expendi-
ture, will be ample circulating libraries in
all the residence districts, their comments
will acquire the additional value Of intelli-
cence.

Habi. and the Restaurants.

Does 1t cost any more to cook and serve q
beefsteak or roast properly than 1t does to do
so impropsrlyf That Is q gu estion that bothers
a good many people who take their meals at
restaurants about town. There is no ruling
price, apparently for a single article Of food In
New York. A slice Of roast beef In good
restaurant is usually charged at S5 cents. al
though 1t can be had fairly good at 30 cents.
There is about cents worth of meat given in
such cut. When 40 and 90 cents is charged
the customer he generally gets little bigger,
IL not little better slice. but not necessarily.
In many cases potatoes are thrown in with an
order Of beef or any other meat, sometimes
not This will make 10 or Is cents difference,
II you know the town well you will know
where to get the best roast beef for the least
money. But this is q long and expensive
schooling. And when you strike it with one
particular dish it must be learned all over
again in other particulars. There are places
where the cooking and prices are fair but
where the service Is abominable, and vice versa.
If proprietor was smart be would understand
that dirty tablecloths and untidy walters take
away the appetite of sensitive people, and In
this way he loses much money.
There Is a curious phase Of human nature,
upon which the restaurateur exists, and this Is
force OF habit When a man has created a
habit of eating at a certain place he thinks OF
that particular place whenever he gets hungry.
good seat, good waiter, or got acquainted
with the proprietor, or got some favorite dish
to his taste, or met agreeable people-some in
significant thing struck him favorably. In
few days he goes there by habit. He gets
angry and dissatisfied every now and then and
tries another place, but he finds drawbacks
everywhere, and goes back again. Habit is
stronger than the attractions of superior food
and cookery-stronger than money considera-
tions. Even dirt is habit with some people.
If it were not for habit the good will of hotel
of restaurants around town would be closed in
a month,
