IT Is common mistake to regard
wealth as merely material thing.
1t has some subtle subjective attri-
butes which have never been sufa-
GENTLY recognized. For example here
In Chicago was poor carpenter. He
lived solitary and uncontrolled, sew
Ing the buttons on his own trousers.
When he whacked his thumb nail he
simply put the bruised member in
his mouth and rolled his eyes little,
and went on with his toll, lorn man
whom nobody thought about. The
other day he inherited a million.
Presto! It projected him, as it were,
from his uncomfortable solitude into
q regular sea Of sympathy. Many
score of estimable ladies instantly
took their pens in hand to express the
tenderest solicitude for his happiness;
to express the most touching willing
ness to sew his buttons and poultice
his thumb. Perhaps this is the real
secret Of why wealth is so priced by
the discriminating.

Barbary states; purchase of Louisiana,
Florida and Alaska, together with
portraits of the rulers of the earth and
their prime ministers, showing the

The great seal of arms of the United
States will be emblazoned on canvas

to display in the rotunda Of the main
buildings the alcoves of which have
been devoted to this purpose alone the
most interesting and valuable collee-
ton OF state papers ever brought to-

will comprise the declaration of indie

the United States. Among the treaties
with foreign powers will be displayed

The Rev. T. De Witt Talmage has
put forth his contribution to the lit
erature Of the Sunday-closing move
ment in connection with the Worlds
Fair. "The proper solution" says
he, lis to have every workshop, fac
tory and store closed promptly every
Saturday noon during the whole Elk
position. Give the working classes a
half-holday every week during that
time. Then Sunday let the great
preachers who will be here from all
parts Of the world hold services in all
the Worlds Fair buildings which
will admit Of it." The first objection
which naturally suggests itself is that
this plan affords an opportunity for
Chicago working people to visit the
fair, but ignores that vast army from
four neighboring States, who, by
travelling at night, could spend Sum
day at the fair and return to their
homes without the loss of working
day. If, however, Mr.. Talmage holds
to the religious argument alone one
can not fail to note that in order to
observe that portion Of the command
ment which says "Keep holy the
Sabbath day" he Is willing to break
its other command, tSix days shalt
thou labor" Moreover, Mr.. Tai
