When We Have Enough Money

Cornelius Roosevelt. writing in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, draws a striking contrast between the French and Amer ican spirit. Here no man knows when he has enough money. The whole life k usually a scramble for wealth, and the richer man is the harder he generally scrambles. The ambition for literary artistic or musical fame i'll other Coun- tries is in the United States apt to be all centered in the one desire to be distin- guished for wealth. Il do not like your country, foreigners say frequently. "-All you Americans care for is to get rich. There is no leisure, Do rest. Everybody is on the rush. It Confuses me"
 In France MT. Roosevelt says man considers himself rich enough when he has accumulated sufficient money to live comfortably in his own station in life. There perhaps is the rub. In America. and it Is truly our glory hat 1t is so. there is no station in life" Tho highest station is within reach of the humblest. and he strives for it as long as he lives if he is true American.
 Yet the foreigner who rctircs on a lii
 tie competency IS happier. Who shall say whether he is wiser or not: With a certain little income. enough to meet his modest wants, the Frenchman retires to a place in the country or in a small town and lives at his ease, interesting himself in municipal affairs. The result Is thar municipal government in French towns is in the hands of the best citizens, who always Loyalty serve their country with out cent of pay. Municipal corrup- tion such as We are too familiar with ill America is unknown in France. Being 8 few degrees better off than the people among whom he lives, the retired French man is looked up to with immense ad- miration and respect, recalling the old saying about a dog among kings.
 A few of our own countrymcn are wise enough to curtail their ambition for wealth and seek quiet and sweet peace in rural delights. One of these is Joaquin Miller, who, keeping bachelors hall in his lone cabin in the Sierras. is singing \ some of the sweetest songs of his life Such, too, was the late Prentice Mul. | ford's favorite ideal. A little income, a | few devoted friends or ones family and life in the sweet, fragrant country is the life best worth living. It enables the writer to do his best work. the philoso- pher or scientist to think his highest thoughts. Six hundred dollars year. . home in the country, with roses. straw berries and fresh eggs, is paradise enOugl | for any rightly constituted person.

HOW TO WEAR GLOVES.
AAi How to Buy Them Before They Ar
 

Worn.
 The woman who labors under the de fusion that she has done her duty to her hands when she has bought pair of ''6s" or "6I $ in a presentable shade is making grievous error. She should al ways carefully examine her gloves, see ing to il that the kid in the side finger pieces and the triangle at the thumb is as firm and flexible as that of the wrists; that the thumhpiecc is broad enough; that the fingers are neither too short nor too long. and the haud If the glove large enough to prevent the palm from fold ing into creascs.
 The glove is the most forCible example of the adage about trees growing as the twig is bent. If a glove k put on for the first time Car,le~~ly, with seams awry and finger ends not snug, it is hopeless to try tu smooth it out at subsequent wearing. The seams will be twisted and the fingers haggy SO long as the glove endures. That k the reason il is wise tC have the gloves first put on by the firm experienced hands If a filter.
 If this is impossible, the task must bt undertaken at home when there k plenty of time The gloves must be carefully pressed on. every seam straight, every gusset i'll its right place, the tips of the fingers smooth and the wrist perfectly adjusted. Then it should be buttoned with the finest glove buttuner from the bottom. If glove which has been properly worked on will not button from l the bottom. il k too small.

WATERBURY CONN.

THE house of representatives having manifested laudable curiosity as to the exact treasury operations under the Sherman act, MT Carlisle sent them a full statement. The treasury has bought in three years, since the law went into operation, 161 ,521 ,OOO ounces of silver at a cost $95O, ,669, ,45O. The present mar ket value of silver-or, rather, the value at market prices, for it could not be sold at any such price-is S119, 9,510, ,OO0, showing a loss of little more than $50, ,OOO, 900. This is a small matter com pared to other losses it has inflicted upon us, but it gives an idea of the kind of business the treasury has been doing under the Sherman law.

The greatest speed on record attained by projectile was that made by a shell from the Brown segmental wire gun at Sandy Hook recently. Twenty pounds of smokeless powder sent an elongated projectile weighing 60 pounds from the mouth of the wire gun at q velocity, when first fired, of :, 2,s65 feet per second. If the rate did not diminish, the projectile would thus travel more than a mile in two seconds.
