Mr.. ANDREW CARNEGIE thinks that
within two years the improvements in trans
atlantic steamers will enable them to cross in
five days; and the New York Sun dissents from
that view because the ships to perform that
feat are yet to be built. True, but if Mr.. Car
negie gets his star spangled Scotch spirit suffi-
ciently aroused by the controversy he may
build the ships himself and show the Sun how
it is done.

Worlds Museum.

The performances at the Worlds Museum
and Theater this week are really good. The
wrestling match between the gigantic Chicago
butcher. who weighs 423 pounds, and the Mil
waukse brewer. at 1884 pounds, is very funny.
1t is impossible to say SO far who will win the
greater number of falls during the week, the
two men being apparently evenly matched.
Misc Millie Zuletta. with her troupe of trained
doves, is interesting, as was Frank Hatton,
with his mechanical scenes on the Mississippi.
In the theater is Mr.. Clarence Bennett in a
romantic Mexican drama "a Royal Slave"
He is supported by Miss Maud Bennett and a
good company. The play Is well rendered.
The show at the Worlds is good throughout.

else of proper care in handling business or
managing accumuIations of money is work,
though probably not so trying as some other
forms of labor; and while every man cannot
have inherited wealth sufficient to occupy

the satisfaction of earning his own living
and, if he wishes, OF owing dollar to no one.

tered, mouldy old hooks in many homes-the
old homes Wha= a fascination they had for
us in the playtime days, too. Nurses spook
stories aud fear of the "bogie man" did not
keep you from rumaging there. warrant. Old
books rusty with time tired your fingers and
puzzled your young brain. Little shoes and
stockings, bits of lace and linen. what you be-
lieved to be doll clothes, that had been care
fully tucked away in the old hair-covered,
heavy-scented trunk were pulled out and crit
ically examined. You couldn't see the
tear drops underneath the dust warts
on them, of course. They belonged
to one you never saw-to doll
you never dragged over the nursery floor. The
cradle, perchance, stood in dark corner there
and in it the mice had built nest. Next came
the old packets of letters tied with faded
strings, bearing traces of snakes, anchors,
hearts and arrows on their broken old wax
seals Some cracked and split under your light
touch; others parted at the time-worn reddish
creases letting fall bits of dry leaves and per-
haps tresses of hair. You read but you didn't
quite understand. The names they bore you
did not know then. but later the secrets the old
attic letters held were revealed by time, youths
greatest gossip. Into the dust you dove deeper,
turning over the papers and the packages, hold
ing a revel in the rubbish. The spiders stopped
their spinning and the only noise you heard was
af fhn oh rad iiaS nd 4ha
chirping of the swallows under the caves. And
YOU sat there and wondered why such rubbish
was hid away for the dust to defle and the
moths to destroy. Then the time came for you
to shut the attic door. As the years gave you
inches the letters, and the leaves, and the bits
of curled hair accumulated in your
pockets, your desk, your bureau drawers. They
are in the attic now, of course. Upon them the
dust is settling into them the moths are bor-
ing, over them the fly is buzzing in the death
trap set by the spider. Perhaps childish hands
will disturb them; but your secret is safe.
When they reach the light that will let them
see the skeleton in the closet they will close the
door And the dust will gather again-gather
in Jumps where the tears fell and make pretty
ring where the curled tress lies.

Neighbors and Social Relations.

While it is pleasant to have neighbors
with whom we are on familiar social re-
~lations, the fact that we are neighbors
merely is no reason why such relations
should exist. Certainly no one has any
reason to be offended if a neighbor
chooses to live in retirement, or does not
return obseQuious calls. Too many of
the calls on new neighbors, which are
considered a social duty in many dis
tricts Of the country, are simply prying
errands to see if the parlor carpet is
genuine Brussels Or rag, or whether the
new neighbor keeps her hair in curl
papers at calling hours, or is a good
manager or a hopeless slattern, OF some
thing else, which is no possible concern
Of the caller. New York Tribune.
