HOW SOME BUILDERS BUILD.

Mortgaging One Story to Get Money to Con-
,struct Another-who Gets the Profit?
A glance at the business directory
will reveal the fact that there are
many hundreds of persons in this city
who follow the calling of builders.
Few of them are rich, all of them are
hard workers. The development of the
upper west side of the city and the an
nexed district has been the cause of so
many launching out into this branch of
business.
A prominent builder told Mail and
Express man the other day that some
so-called builders resort to all sorts of
schemes to procure money enough to
put up structure and pay the labor
ers. He said that one of these builders
who can scrape up few Thousand dol
lars will buy lot worth seven or
eight thousand dollars, making a
small cash payment, giving a mort
gage for the balance. Provided with
his lot, he can go TO one of the many
loan associations, and, by agreeing to
pay an exorbitant shave besides the
interest, procure what is known as a
builders loan."
The cellar is then dug and the
foundation laid. Credit can be had
for bricks enough to put up the base
ment or ground story, and arrange
ments can be effected with dealer
for brownstone. AS soon as the first
story is up the builder at once pro-
ceeds to raise more money by mort
gaging it. With the money he receives
he builds the second story, which, as
soon as completed, he mortgages, APP
plying the proceeds to the construction
of third story, and follows out tho
same line of conduct il fourth story
is needed. When the building is COM
pleted it is patched with three or four
more mortgages.
1t is then put on the market and a
sale is often forced. A speculator buys
up the mortgages, and after giving the
builder a few hundred dollars from
his profits puts it in the market. The
builder goes on the hunt for another
lot upon which to put up another
building, satisfied with a small profit.
The man with the money who buys up
the mortgages is the one who reaps the
benefit.--N Y. Mail and Express.

Smoke Strong Cigars.

An exhibition that is unique is now
IN progress at the Savoy hotel.
Whether the purpose of its projectors,
Messrs. Ritz and Echenard. was N
illustrate in striking manner the
fralitles and weaknesses of mankind
it is impossible to say, but whatever
the first idea may have been, the
result is sure to furnish the female
sex with ample arguments against the
males for many years. The exhibition
is nothing more or less than display
of'cigars-the cigars that are favored
by royalty, by the bon ton and by
the land holders and coupon clippers
of the British empire. 1t is exciting
great interest, and all London goes
there to study its lesson they think
it shows the refinement and luxury of
our method Of life. The display is a
collection Of the finest brands of
the crop Of 1888. Here are shown
the cigars that the Rothschilds smoke;
the fayorite brands of such connois-
seurs as Lord Northbrooke and the
Prince Of Wales. There are in all
100000 separate cigars. They are
contained in cabinets, caskets and on
shelves. One cedarwood cabinet con-
tains $4,000 Flor de Cubas of various
sizes, and this cabinet has the distinc-
ton of acting as a cigar gauge for the
Rothschilds, as that family here order
three filings of this cabinet at one
time, that is $4,000 cigars. BY max
ing the purchase on this scale the
cigars are obtained at 20 shillings
(Sl7.50) per hundred, the same being
sold to marquis es, princes and other
lesser connoisseurs, who cannot afford
to plunge in to this extent for Ct
$3.50 per hundred. Yet the catalogue
of the exhibition observes that these
cigars are only the stock the Roth
childs buy for ordinary, everyday use
to give away to cabmen, to smoke out
of doors where the wind may quickly
bear away the thirty-five cent aroma.
But for indoors, for social family
smoke when the nobility drops in to
see them, they affect the Henry Clay
sobranos, about as big as torpedoes,
and wrapped in gold leaf. They
come packed in an inlaid cedar cabi-
net, and costs about five or six shill-
ings (S1.20 to S1.50) each. 1t is
interesting to note that the catalogue
says the cigars contributed by the
prince of Wales show that he has a
craze just now for "green goods y
he wants them fine quality, but they
must be fresh, undred, green.-Lon-
don Letter.

Had Raphael seen a face
Like this inly trace
Full browed and sweet, with lily. lustrous skin,
Fond rosy lips and dainty dimplcd chin,
And large and soulful eyes,
Gazing in soft surprise
At all they saw in this strange world OF
ours
So fair a cherub then
He straight had limncd, that men
Had said; This passes art;
Earth hath no counterpart;
rhe master had communion with angelic pow
ers"
A glory, all too bright
To shine on mortal sight,
Save through the veil of matter, sildeth earth;
In uncreated glory II hath birth,
And comcth us to cheer,
Saying: Beyond not here,
pilgrim soul, thy native country lies"
IL gloweth near and far,
dew drop and In STAR
But in a beauteous child,
BY sin still undehled,
More purely than in aught beneath the kindly
skies.
Why doubt that Goa is love,
When daily from above
These little messengers TO earth descend,
To tell us He who made MS is our Friend!
And when brief Is their stay,
Why count II wrong that they
Like rested birds, again should take TO fightf
Their mission done, tbs time
They sought gladder cline;
Others their presence need,
And so away they speed,
To do Gods bidding in the realms of endless
light.
Proud was | OF the boy;
My heart leaped up for JOY
When first l scanned his goodly face and
frame,
To think that one like him should bear my
name.
The prophecy he seemed
or all my youth had dreamed,
Destined nobler manhood to attain,
And win those heights at length
That Knocked my feebler strength.
All me! Ere he could wis
The meaning OF my kiss,
He vanished from my sight, and all had been
In vain.
All vain? Did he not liver
Lord. my plant forgive,
would not raze his image from ny heart,
Though grief and might now forever part.
I've held him to my breast;
His tender cheek I've pressed;
! have embraced him IN my inmost soul;
And that will ever be
pleasing thought TO me-
dear restoring thought
With healing virtue fraught,
And Heavenly power to guide, admonish end

All vaini Does be not liver
Yea, gracious Lord, forgive
My momentary plant. He still is mine,
And ever will be, since he still Is Thine.
In faith lift mine eyes,
And lol in Paradise,
Tapped in perennial June, see the boy.
Forms radiantly fair
Move round about him there;
And as q mellow haze
Infolds him from my gaze,
Through all my being flows calm dissolving

o'clock "taps" our beds, which had pre-
viously been made, were hastily en-
tered as the lights were douscd.
Each "plebe" had To make his own
bed and help take care of the room. In
the morning the blankets, sheets, pill
lows, etc. (of all nine of us), had to be
folded and placed one above the other
so that their edges, in ~ vertical line,
should not vary a hairs breadth. II
they did they were kicked down by the
officer, and had TO be rearranged.
At all hours of the day and night hui
morous cadets would drop in TO make
a CALL" and then they would put us
through "a course of spouts," such as
compelling us TO sing, TO whistle, to
dance, and TO hop from trunk to
mantel and "chirp like n mocking-
bird" Another diversion for the cadets
was to catch 'plebe," when he was
compelled to go TO the yard, and play
horsey" with him, the 'plebe" walking
on his hands and knees with the cadet
astride of his back.
''Why stand it?" asked the prospect
i've ''plebe." Stand il or fight. If you
fight you will have to fight the whole
corps. Better to stand il and wait until
you become a cadet and the next batch
of 'phebes" arrives. Then you have
an opportunity of getting square.
After week of this brand of excite
ment we were marched to the hall
where our mental status was TO be in
vestigated, and ! desire TO state that
no ''plebe" is permitted to appear out
side his quarters unless he assumes the
first position of a soldier-shoulders
thrown backward, chest forward, toes
turned outward, and little fingers down
the seams of the trousers.
This position must also be assumed
whenever any frisky cadet knocks at
the door of the quarters, even if it is in
the early morning hour, and / have
seen nine shivering ''plebes," awakened

a soldier. Everybody must have real

thrown back, my chest was thrown
forward, my chin was depressed, and l
kept perfect step to the martial airs
produced by the organ grinders on the

nxsnensin of the Mind.

Benjamin Franklin said he made him
self an educated man simply by learn
ing things when he wanted them.
Whenever he had use for any kind of
knowledge, he acquired it. His appc-
tite was good, his mental digestion was
in order, and hence he assimilatcd his
knowledge and made II part of his i'm
tellectual organization. A man cannot
be made wise on knowledge that no
doesn't want TO learn, any more than
he can be made strong UPON pie which
he doesn't want to eat. Compulsory
pie can only result in dyspepsia, and
compulsory knowledge Is inevitably
followed by intellectual Indigestion.
