RIGID ECONOMY AND HARD LABOR.

How One Boston Merchant Became Rich
and Influential.
ut would be well for the young men
Of today to take my recipe for becoming
prosperous" said Mr.. John Shepard the
other day as he sat before his little desk
in an upper story of his great dry goods
house on Winter street. 81 began life
ct the very bottom rung Of the ladder,
but with determination that would
succeed IL such thing were possible
with the talent that possessed Early
in life l came to the conclusion that
economy was the first great essential in
establishing a fortune, and that labor
was the second. / banished from my
mind all other considerations when be-
gan to work upon the road that / felt
sure would lead to the goal of which
was in search.

tempting display in confectioner's win

sweet tooth, and brought up standing
before the sweet collection as If sud-
denly arrested by some irresistible force.
My hand Immediately found its way to
the pocket that carried my ineager hoard-
ings, and before / really knew what /
was doing had invested cents in but
terscotch. When | got back into the
street, began to have full realization
of what had done, and it is safe to say
that no candy ever entered a boys mouth
that was SO little relished as was my
butterscotch. | regretted that invest
ment for years, and whenever the tempta-
tion again came upon me while passing
the store put it away instantly.
Excepting close to this line of strict
economy, | found myself at last in po-
sition to go into business. Then, how
ever, commenced to feel that capital
alone was powerless in the attainment
of success. unless it was seconded by UNI
firing labor. Here also met all the
necessary requirements, frequently de-
voting 20 hours of the "a to my business.
Gradually found that l was amassing a
fortune, and finally / established the
house which now bears my name. After

the enjoyment of life, believing that

there Is no use in filing boys head

Nervous irritability and desire to
distinguish himself were plainly visible
In Alfred de Musset at the age Of years.
Once he got q pair Of new red shoes. and
he went into raptures about them. He
was 80 impatient TO show himself In his
new shoes that he could scarcely wait to
be dressed. While his mother was dress

angry tone. make haste, mamma. or

lay Gould Iceland.

Marie Jonreau writes me that when
she was travelling in Iceland she found
that of all our great countrymen the
only one who seemed to be familiar to
the Icelanders was Jay Gould. One Of
the first questions her native guide asked
her ON learning that she was from Amer.
lea was: "You come from America. Per.
haps, then, you know Jay Gould? And
has he really more money than he can
ever count? Even far in the interior Of
the island, where the people could speak
no English, they begged the guide to ask
her If she really knew or had ever seen
the wonderful Cresus, who to them was
like some prince from the Arabian
Nights. - Boston Globe.

Horsepower and Speed.

Horsepower does not always mean
speed, for the City Of Rome--very little
smaller than the Teutonic--is Of II 800
horsepower, against the Teutonic's 49,
900, while the Paris, which is only 800
feet long, as against the Great Eastern's
$50 feet, Is of over 10000 horsepower.
Such comparisons show the wonderful
development in late years Of ship and
engine building. Marine Journal

An old New Hampshire man tells me
this story Of lawyer who prevented
Mr.. Pierce from winning one case. The
latter had fairly opened his plea and
was beginning to wax eloquently pathet-
ic when the opposing counsel spoke up,
Just loud enough to be heard by the jury
and the members Of the bar, "Oh, Frank
Ia beginning to pump for water againr
It Is needless to say that he got no water
from the jurymen's eyes on that plea
and lost the case, Boston Globe.

o,s custom uana.a Dow,.

How many can tell the origin Of the
habit of closing the eyes in prayer Far
back in the past the sun was the univer-
sal object of worship. AS 1t rose above
the horizon the devotee thanked it for
its return to bless the world. AS it set
in the west he implored its early return.
His face was always toward the sun in
prayer, and his eyes were closed to pre-
vent blindness. The habit has passed
down from father to son for thousands
of years. Though the object Of worship
has been changed, the custom survives.
