It is not true that Tho tailor makes
the gentleman" but it is true that a
gentleman cannot safely neglect the
tailor's services if he wishes people in
general to take him for what he is. A
man prominent in Canadian political life
was somewhat too careless in this re-
spcct.
This statesman was once on his way
to call upon well known gentleman in
Quebec, and stopped an lrishman In the
street to inquire the way.
''Can you tell me whore Mr.. Hunter
lives?' said the Statesman.
''It's no use your going there, was
the unexpected reply.
But do You know where he lives?'
"Faith and do; bat it's no usa going
thcre."
The inquirer began to get angry.
II didn't ask your advice. simply
want to know where Mr.. Hunter lives. "
"Oh, well, he lives down that street
yonder, the first house round the corner;
but l tell you it's no use your going
there, for I've just been there myself
and he's already got man."

he answered.
One of the lads passed over the change
and took the kit, and Tim walked straight
to the counting-room of a daily paper, put
down the money, and said: 81 guess kin
write if you give me a pencil.''
With slow-moYing fngures he wrote a
death notice. 1t went into the paper
almost as he wrote it, but you might not
have seen it. He wrote:
'Died-Litul Ted-of Scarlet fever; gone
up to Heyin, left one brother
Was it your brother2" Asked the
cashier.
Tim tried to brace up but he couldn't.
The big tears came up, his chin quivered
and he pointed to the counter and gasped:
III had to sell my kit to do it, b-bnt he
had his arm around my neck when he
d-died.
He hurried away home; but the news.
Went to the boys, and they gathered into
group and talked Tim had not been home
an hour before a barefooted boy left the kit

Who Invented the Steam Eneine9

The Marquis of Worcester, while i'm
prisoned in the Tower of London in 1856,
invented and constructed perfect steam
engine, and had it publicly exhibited the
same year at Vauxhall in successful opera
ton, Thirt y-four years later, in 1890, Den
mis- Papin added the piston to the marquis
discovery. In 1893 Captain Savary devised
and built steam engine different in many
details from those made by Worcester and
Papin; and n 1705 Newcomb, Cawley and
Savary cons tructed their celebrated at
mospheric engine, which was complete in
every detail.
The above array of historical facts not
withstanding, James Watt, who was not
born until sixty years after these great
men had given the steam engine to the
world, enjoys the distinction of being the
veritable inventor, originator and author
of the most useful contrivance of the pres
ent day.
Fulton, who lived and worked in the
early part of the present century, is given
the credit of being the man who demon
strated that steam could be applied to
navigation; this, too, in face of the well
known historical fact that De Gary pro-
PEELED a vessel by steam in the harbor of
Barcelona in I543. Why does history make
such mistake5?-St, Louis Republic.

A Now York Student Who Puts HIS
knowledge Into Dollars.
In enc of the handsome flats in fash
irslable street in the city lives a gentle
man who is rolling up fortune by knowl-
edge. He Is not a writer or lecturer, he
holds 10 college professorship and does not
belone. to any learned body. He simply
knows it all, or as nearly all as mortal
man may, and he sells his knowledge for
tidy fee.
He owns very extensive library, to be-
gin wi Then, too, he is living index
to his own books. If you require informa-
ton on matters of history, science, the
ology, biography, art or anything else, you
have bat to apply to him and pay him his
charges to be enlightened. You may
make your notes out of his library, or with
the list of authorities obtained from him
consult the public collections. In one way
and another there is probably nothing in
the way of published information that you
cannot get track of through him, even if
he does not know all about it. He con-
ducts b is consultations with the fixed sys-
tenn of 9. lawyer or physician and always
has full list. There are times, indeed,
when he is so fully engaged that appoint
ments have to be made with him we'll in
advance
In theological matters he is especially
strong. The list of his clients is said to in
clude the most eminent divines of the
country. Thousands of sermons and re-
ligious discussions annually owe their logic
and their information to him. In the re-
vision of theological works he is found an
invaluable reference. In theological his
tory he Is probably-more learned than any
man living. When the enormous mass of
this sort of literature that is in existence
is considered, the fact that he can master it
as he has done is remarkable. But he car
ries the same authoritative erudition into
other bra inches of letters.
His strong point is his memory 1t fixes
everything in a literary way that is
brought before it. He has some system of
analogizing dates that renders it possible
for him TO give the day, month, year and
often even the hour of an occurrence on
demand, so that to trace it up and refer to
the published record of details is compare
lively easy for him. Outside of his memory
he appears to possess no literary gifts or
abilities whatever.
Commencing modestly enough, his
charges are now so high that they would
seem exorDitant to any one not conversant
with the value of special information to
persons of superficial education, or to those
even of well grounded and extensive, but
not symmetrically systematized, study
Many of his clients know a great deal more
than he does in their way, and are men of
much greaUer ability. But they have not
arranged their information so skillfully,
and cannot recall it when they need it. So
they pay him to nudge their memories, and
are glad to have him to help them as lie
does,-New York Cor. Pittsburg Bulletin.
