Few People Satisfied with Money Alone.
AS matter Of fact, the chief i'm.
preston produced by great wealth,
even in America, is simply curiosity,
not admiration, hardly even envy.
There are many things that people
really value more than wealth at any
time-perhaps, thinks Harper's Ba-
Ear, valuing wealth only as q means
for these things. In youth people
prize amusement, pleasure, love; and
wealth Is thrown away recklessly for
the sake Of such ends, After the
maturer tastes are developed, people
have no objection to wealth for the
sake Of other aims which it may pro-
mote, but it is not substitute for
those aims. An artist loves art, the
man Of science loves science, the
student loves study, the inventor
loves invention, the domestic man
loves home. Even the man Of action
loves action mainly as thing attract
i've in itself. lie would readily ac-
cept wealth as means Of achiev-
ing his other purposes, but he would
not sell those purposes for wealth.
The proof of this is that he does not;
indeed, he often impoverishes him
self for his own pursuits. Beyond a
very moderate account" wrote Cole
ridge, 81 regard money as a real evil.
The man of other pursuits knows
that one cannot possibly be very rich
and carry on those other pursuits
also, so engrossing is the mere care Of
property, and so difficult and absorb
ing is the wise use of it, Many a
prominent artist or author has been
simply ruined for the purposes for
which he was created by becoming
heir to a large estate; not that 1t de-
moralized him otherwise, but it left
him no time for his natural work.
Volumes have been written on the
suppression Of genius through pow
erty, but very little has yet been said
on the wrecking of genius through
wealth.

West on the Pennsylvania Road, and
will be placed on an open truck, so
that it can be seen by every one dur
ing the journey. A committee Of the
City Council will accompany the bell
and formally place it in the custody
of the Chicago authorities,
This bell has a most interesting
history. 1t weighs 1850 pounds,
stands four feet high, and upon one
side is an inscription and the Script
ure text: proclaim liberty through
out the land unto all the inhabitants
thereof" 1.-THE old bell, from its lofty
situation in Independence Hall, has
looked down on many stirring scenes
in connection with our early history.
Until its usefulness was impaired by
the flssnre in its side, which was first
discovered in 1885, it was rung on
every occasion of great public joy or
sorrow. The bell was made in 1850
in London and brought to Philadel-
phia the next year, where it was re-
ceived and hung with great public
rejoicing. However, a disappoint-
ment awaited the people, for the
very first time it was rung
it cracked. 1t was impossible to
send it back to London so some work
men attempted to cast over The
mold was opened March 10, 1853, and
apparently all had gone we'll. But
the bell did not have a good sound
and it was believed that too much
copper had been added and so a third
casting was made. This was success
full and the bell hung undisturbed UNI
til 1878, when it was removed to
Allentown, Pa, to avoid capture and
melting into cannon by the British.
Upon the evacuation of the British it
was brought back and has ever since
remained undisturbed, with the ex-
,ception of ten days in 1885 when it
was taken to the New Orleans Ex-
position.
1t derives its historic value from
the fact that the signing of the Dec
laratlon of Independence by the Con-
tinental Congress July 4, 1776, was
announced to the people of Pniladel-
phia by its ringing.

Gold Nnrpets.

One of the largest and most re-
markable shaped nuggets ever found
was discovered in an Australian mine
in 1887. 1t was fiat and almost the
exact counterpart in contour of a
colossal human hand held open, with
the exception of the thumb and fore
finger, which were closed together in
a manner so as to make it appear
that the thumb was holding the fin
ger in place. Its greatest length was
twelve and half inches. 1t was OF
the very purest gold, with but a lit
tie of foreign substances adhering
(mostly between the "ffngers"), and
weighed six hundred aud seventeen
ounces. The famous "Lady Brassey"
nugget, also found in Australia,
weighed fifty-One pounds of pure
gold, worth 1925 per pound. In 1891
nugget of fifteen pounds weight,
shaped exactly like cross, with the
exception Of the right arm, was dis
covered in the Buriss mine near the
same place.

necessary for Health.

The components of a good bed are
considered by DR.. E. G, Wood in the
Healthy Home. In conclusion he
says; There is strong temptation
to use a quilted cotton comfortable,
costing dollar, in preference to a
pair Of blankets costing I've times as
much, yet the blankets are far clean
er, sweeter, warmer Qor the same
weight), and better from a health
standpoint in every way. 1t is need
less to add that the good housewife
will see to it that bedding and clothes
have a daily airing sufficient to abol-
ish entirely the stale, unpleasant
odor which hangs around a bed and
indicates the presence Of an indefinite
amount of ancient effluvia. Clean
sheets and sunshine work wonders
with beds. IL you are compelled to
use a modern folding bed, be sure it
has ample spaces for ventilation and
that it is never put up in the morn
ing until sun, and air have worked
their miracle of cleansing.

1t is told of a well-known Ken
lucky Colonel that once he invited a
gentleman to dine with him at Cham

How to nave Pretty Hands.


A lady should have beautiful white
hands and no mistake. If the skin
be naturally white very little care is
required to preserve it. A good soap,
aided by pinch or two Of cracked oat-
meal, may be used for a thorough
cleansing twice day. and If needful
to still further cleanse them, warm
water-uot hot-wll do the necessary
work. Once a week they should be
rubbed front and back, between the
fingers and all, with slice Of lemon.
IG these exquisitely white hands are
inclined to chap camphor ice may be
applied at night and white gloves
worn to increase the softening effect
The best camphor ice is homemade
preparation Of pure white wax melted
and stirred to the consistency Of
cream, with the addition of several
drops Of camphor. Holes should ale
ways be cut in the palms of the gloves
to allow ventilation. For distress

inc, lemon juice, and rose water may

Daily applications Of lemon juice are
sure to produce a whitening effect.
Tight sleeves and snugly fitting finger
rings are frequent source Of red
hands, and the only remedy for this
is to remove the irritating cause.
Smooth, white hands may be difficult
to acquire, but they are certainly
within the reach of all who care for
them sufficiently to make the effort
required to secure them. brakes

money out of the Louisiana Lottery, lent 1900 to
Keenan, so he says, because keenan, had promised
to do many things which would be for the per-

Caulfeld. When he demanded the return OF the
money Keenan, refused to comply with his request.
Upngton was prevented from bringing a suit by
the fact that Keenan, had his residence In Canada
for some years after the alleged loans Of 1881 and
1882.
Upington has been the stand for several days.
