HOW to Get Rich.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
The Constitution has great many
novel inquiries. Many we do not notice
because we haven't time, and they are
frequently frivolous. But here is one
that has merit in it:
A young man writes us to know how
to become rich. The formula is simple
and certain, and we give il. Save all OF
your income; don't invest your savings
in any thing that will build up the eoun-
try, but lend it at the highest rate of in
terest you can obtain; grind the needy
whenever occasion offers, never make q
donation to anything; never be hospita-
BILE; always remember the fact that fat
kitchen makes lean purse; never have
any politics or religion.
Observe these rules strictly, and if you
live anything like the allotted time fol
man to live you will be a rich man, and
whenever YOU die everybody, including
your heirs, will be glad of it,

CHANGING PIANIST5.
An Incidental Performance That Proved
Interesting.


Interesting.
Gas interesting as anything I've seen
in this town." said visitor to the city,
"was change of pianists that saw in
a variety theater. There was a man on
the stage singing song, and the pianist
was playing the accompaniment. l hap
pened to see the pianist glancing to the
left once, and looked in that direction
myself and saw coming down the aisle a
man that l judged must be the relief pi-
anist, and so he was. | imagined that
he would sit down for moment and
wait, but, dear me, was very slow.
"He was approaching the piano at the
bass end of the keyboard. When he had
almost reached the corner of the piano,
the man who was playing began gently
sliding off the seat to the right, still
playing. By this time the relief was
abreast of the bass keys, and +shese the
first player, who was still Gliding stead
lily to the right, now relinquished to him,
and then the newcomer, still standing,
but also moving steadily to the right,
struck in in perfect time and tune.
"There was brief time, a second or
two, when both men weFe playing-th
retiring pianist the treble and the on
coming player the bass-and for a frac-
ton Of a second they were both stand
ing. But now the new player is fairly
opposite the center of the keyboard. He
settles into the seat, and now it is his
hand that strikes the treble, and now the
whole piano resounds to Lis resolute
touch.
''In fact, there never was a minute
when the piano had anything to say
about it. There never was minute
when the men were not completely mas
tiers of the situation. There never was
an instant from the time the relief ap-
preached until he was firmly settled in
his seat when both men were not con
tinuously in motion, but the change was
made without jar or a slur i'll the mu.
sic and without the omission Of note. .

A ROYAL Book Buyer.

Empress Catherine II of Russia was a
great reader and lover of books. One
of her services to letters in Russia was
the purchase Of the libraries Of FOltaire
and Diderot. She was a warm friend
and admirer of these French philoso-
pliers, and their work interested her be-
cause she was-eager to learn new theo-
ries of politics and government. Vol
taire's library Of about 1000 volumes is
now a part Of the Russian imperial Ii.
brary III the Hermitage palace, and in
the hall devoted to It is Houdon's statue
of Voltaire.
The story of GATHERINGS purchase OF
Diderot's library is interesting 1t is
creditable to her tact and her generosity.
Diderot named $4,000 as the price of
his library. Catherine II offered him
$4,000 and named as condition Of the
bargain that her purchase should remain
with DiGerot until his death. Thus Did
erot, WITHOUT leaving Paris, became
GATHERINGS librarian in his own library.
AS her librarian he was given yearly
salary of $1,000.
One year this salary was not paid.
Then Catherine wrote to her librarian
that she could not have him or her Ii
brary suffer through the negligence of a
treasurer's clerk, and that she should
send him the sum that she had set aside
for the care and increase of her library
for so years. At the end Of that period
she would make new arrangements. A
check for G25,0O0 accompanied this let
ter.-Youth's Companion.

vine. as | had Thought it. And then III
a moment every tendril had become IN
stinct with life, and was twisting and
writing about him with the most horri-
blv snake-like motions matted around
his body and legs, holding his arms tight
and drawn across his face and clasped
about his throat.
Already when l looked around he was
helpless. During the single moment
while / stood there looking at him mo-
tionless with horror, his face had begun
to turn purple. And then all at once
recovered myself a little, and, snatching
my hunting knife from my belt, began
cutting and slashing at the horrible
writing tendrils in the effort to cut
their victim loose.
But before I had made three strokes
something had caught my aim and held
it: then something crawled swiftly about
my neck; over my head, across my face
Everywhere at once l was seized and
held. while wherever the snakey mon
sters touched went fierce pains, as though
my flesh wereSbeing torn from my body
l felt my consciousness slipping away,
but as it was going suddenly the dark
face of Ferrara peeped out of the bushes
in front of me, and cried with mocking
laughter.
81 hope you enjoy yourselves, seniors.
The panther is not far away, believe me.
ONLY wait for him until he comes. Adios
Adiosp'
The shock of anger aroused me little
in the midst of my racking torture, and
I saw Ferrara turn to go away, but all at
once. amid chorus of maledictions, a
dozen hands seized him and pinioned
him down, and we were surrounded by a
crowd of the laborers from the planta-
ton. With long knives they cut and
hacked at the limbs that were sucking
the blood from our veins, and in few
moments they had us free. How they
cot us home never knew.
1t was not until the next day that re-
covered consciousness, and l was unable
to turn in my bed, even, for two weeks,
The excavations on my face and hands
left painful wounds, which were a Iona
time in healing, and which made dread
full scars. These have all gone, however,
except the one on my neck, which re-
sembles the scar left by centerpede.
AS for Carlinos, he lay as if dead for
several days, and there were times when
he was pronounced really dead. Then
he went off into fever and raving DELHI
um. and it seemed that he could not pos
sibly recover. After awhile, though, he
did struggle back into life, but his health
was wrecked and he was never again
able to walk as much as 100 yards.
How did we happen to be rescued?
Why, some of Ferrara's fellow-servants
had heard his muttered imprecations
against us, and when we had gone and
they saw him sneak away after us, they
held consultation and decided to fol-
low. / have always believed that Ferra-
ra circled around US, got in ahead and
initiated the cry Of the panther himself
to lure us on. I have never been able to
find out, however. When ] had regained
my strength enough to feel some lutte
curiosity, and asked one of my rescuers
what they had done with Ferrara, he
answered, with the utmost unconcern:

with local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh
is a blood or constitutional disease, and
