oreat Fortunes and Their uses.


The series of articles in the North Anleri-
can Review, relative to the proper use to be
made of wealth, written by Andrew
| Carnegie, Mr.. Gladstone, Cardinal Manning
| and Cardinal Gibbons, have attracted a
| great deal of attention. The last Of the
series is by Cardinal Gibbons, and it ap-
pears in the April number Of the RerterC.
1t is entitled wealth and Its Obligations
The motive for the writing Of these arti-
cles is found in the rapid increase in the
amount and number OF great fortunes, and
the gradual widening Of the gulf which
separates the rich from the poor. The
wealth of the world is increasing at rate
that almost SURPRISES belief but it is being
concentrated in a comparatively few hands
And the greater this concentration is the
more dissatisfied the poor become.
In his article Andrew Carnegie said that
it was the duty Of a rich man to live unos-
tentatiously. stunning display and extrava-
gance, and, after providing literally for
those dependent upon him, to hold the
remainder of his wealth as a trust fund to
be used for the benefit of those less fortunate
than himself Mr.. Carnegie is acting, to
some extent, in accordance with these
views He has already invested several
millions Of dollars for the benefit Of the
poor.
Cardinal Gibbons commends the views Of
Mr.. Carnegie in so far as they favor the
distribution of the surplus wealth of the
rich among the poor. He treats the sub
ject, however, from the standpoint of a
Christian rather than that of statesman or
philanthropist. He thinks that the selfish
ness displayed by the rich hardens the
hearts of the poor against religious inhu
ences. He says: "Those familiar with the
daily lives and sentiments of the laboring
classes know what a stumbling-block to
their faith is pious penuriousness, the
charity that begins and ends at home.
They cannot reconcile godliness and greed.
For most other forms Of human weakness
there is tolerance, even at times compassion;
but for the man who acknowledges our
common fatherhood and brotherhood, with
his hands tightly closed upon his purse
string, there is a fierce contempt, curses
loud and Deep 1t may safely be affirmed
that one sanctimonious misery millionaire
in community works more deadly harm to
Christianity than dozen isolated cases of
burglary or drunkenness. In Europe, we
are told by competent authorities, the des-
peration of the poor is fast driving men into
atheism"
Wealth has responsibilities which few
rich men recognize in the way they should
recognize them. They do not in any sense
regard themselves as trustees of that part
of their wealth for which they have no use.
They do not think that those less fortunate
than themselves have any claim upon their
surplus riches, and they do not seem to care
if their extravaganza, their ostentatious
display of their possessions and their selfish
ness have bad effect upon the community
in which they live.
II the mutterings Of their less fortunate
brethren fail to arouse them to a sense of
their responsibilities, it is question whether
the state should not do so for the common
good.

Judging from the trite aphorisms that
Snowman Barnum left, it is only fair to as
sumo that the old mans life was not SO
wholly given over to money getting fo- the
mere love of the dollars as was popularity
supposed. If he was really influenced by
his own very sage but benignant axioms his
endeaYors were actuated largely by motives
of a far broader and worthier character
than sheer love of notoriety or greed for
gain. Surely it doesn't appear natural that
man whose guiding impulse in life is ex-
pressed in the belief that innocent amuse-
ment transforms tears into rainbows," and
who went about giving shows even partly
0et us say because he thought that "whole-
some recreation conquers evil thoughts"
would be wholly governed by sordid motives
nor altogether devoid of the noblest aims
that Christian enlightenment has made
known to mankind.
When a man goes about the country en-
gagged in the somewhat humble occupation
of giving shows not solely for what profit
he may realize upon the venture but partly
because he thinks childish laughter is the
echo of heavenly music" he makes the world
better for having lived and is public beue-
factor equally with him who causes two
blades of grass to grow where but one grew
before.
These noble sentiments of the renowned
Snowman demonstrate that a man ennobles
life by nobly living it through in whatever
stratum or however humbly his lines may be
cast. After all, the conditions of life and
the results Of living depend much more upon
the individual than the environments that
the mutations fate and circumstances may
bring about
No man ever loved children in the way
Barnum did who was altogether without
that native nobility of soul which makes an
honorable man and worthy citizen.
Who would ever expect TO find an
exemplar Of the higher virtues in the person
of a Snowman? Yet Barnum was a plain
man whose unostentatiously correct private
life might well have been emulated by much
more pretentious people of eminent station.
There is very wholesome moral in the
old mans long and notable career that is
well worth studying and rejecting upon.
Clearly he did the best he could with what
he had. More could be asked of no mortal.

Better Call Again.

From the Nelo York Herald.
I cannot understand her, l must confess,
What did she mean when she answered ''No9"
Her gances were tender and half said Yes
But her words were cruel and babe me 60
Was it her father or was it my purse?
The question is idle, cannot tell.
She might have had me for better or worse.
Her manner was heaven, her language was
well.
There's many another who d answer me ''Yes, -
And, unmoved by affection, would come to
my side;
Their GOODNESS would chill me; their words
might careSs.
But who would be charmed by an unwilling
bride?
Farewell, then, to love, to affection farewell,
She might have said Yes" and she told me
to go;
But I'd give half my life were able to tell
What her eyes strove to say when she an
sWered me no"

Preachers are said to be forming sort of
evangelical trust in the Iowa Presbyterian
church to prevent young men from enter
ing the ministry. Usually it has been the
custom to suppose that the ministers always
put their trust in Providence. But these
thrifty dominies are getting their trust To-
Gated nearer home and so arranged as to
personally and pecuniarily benefit them
selves. Possibly they intend to put up wages
in that way. Next they'll be going out on
strike for more slippers and fewer dona-
ton parties. Truly the world doth revolve.

the ministers to the Columbus Dispatch at the
pastors union.
What was it?" naturally asked the observer.
II had been working and talking to the boys
about gambling, and they finally turned all the
cards in the camp over to rue. The next day the
battery was paid off. The following day was
passing out and saw a blanket spread out with
two Jumps OF sugar on one corner and about
half the money in the camp spread out
What were they doipgi9
They were betting on which lump Of sugar a
fly would first light, and all the money on the
blanket changed hands on the result"
What did you say to the boys?"
Il said: Here, boys, come get your cards"
Language was not equal to the emergency"

All of the metropolitan papers have lately

nouncement that "Our Mary" had little
lamb, as one of the most facetious Of them
put it. But it now appears that Mrs. Ma
varro has not become a mother at Bourne
mouth, Eng, at all. On the contrary she
is said to be contemplating an early return
to the stage. Such an error could only have
originated ia merely idle gossip.

CLIMATE AND HEALTH.
Why Climatoiogy should Stand Alongside
Hygiene and DietetIes.

hygiene ana Dietotcs'
The Importance of climatology is
gradually becoming recognized No
one can doubt that of the many factors
which contribute to help or hinder
physical well-being, very large share
must be attributed to climate, under
stood in its widest sense-t. e., to those
conditions of atmosphere and oil which
are constantly operating upo us by
day and by night. The air we breathe,
its temperature, humidity, pressure and
purity, the amount of sunshine we re-
ceive, the character of the winds to
which we are exposed, the nature of the
soil on which we reside-all these fact
ors have potent influence upon the or
ganism in health, and still more potent
influence upon it in its more unstable
and sensitive condition when the sub
ject of disease.
While few will care to question such
obvious considerations, climatology is
still comparatively neglected, and does
not yet rank where it will probably
some day stand-viz, alongside hygiene
and dietetics. The reason for this COM
parative neglect is probably the vague
ness which has hitherto for the most
part surrounded this subject, and the
paucity of accurate and definite data re-
lating to it 1t is also unfortunate that
the available information is so often OBJ
tainable only from interested persons,
whose natural bias in favor of certain
localities will often, in spite of the most
upright intentions, lend more or less
unreal coloring to their statements
