Some Costly Things.

The State capitol at Albany, n. Y,
is the costliest building of modern
times, nearly 800, 100000 having already
been expended on it and it is not
yet finished. The highest price ever
paid for horse WAS $150,0Oo, which
the late Senator Stanford, of California,
received for his famous Arion The
most expensive paintings of modern
times are Millet's "Angelus" which
sold for $150,O0o, and Meissonier's
"lSl4' for which the purchaser paid
s170,o0o. The highest. price ever
offered for book was for a Hebrew
Bible in the Vatican, which Pope Ju-
lius II. refused to sell for its weight in
gold, that would have amounted to
Sl03, 900. The greatest SUM ever paid
for the telegraph tolls in one week by
8 newspaper was by the London Times
for cable service from Buenos Ayres
during the revolution of the Argentine
Republic. The cable rates to London
fer q single word were Sl.75, and the
cost Of the dispatches for one week
amounted to $4,000. AS many mil
lions Of English money were invested
in the republic it probably paid to make
this outlay for news. The costliest
meals On record were served by the old
Roman emperors who paid fabulous
sums for their feasts, the record show
ing that single dish sometimes cost
thousands of dollars.

Bad Spoilers.
rThe Speetator.1

ne SpecCatoI.J
A man who is constantly reading
ought, OF course to be able to spell the
words which he is repeatedly seeing on
the page before him. Yet, as we know,
if often happens that great readers are
exceedingly bad spoilers. Why is this?
We believe it is because the bad speller
sees and reads each word as whole,
as 8 grammalogue, or thought symbol,
that is, and not as 80 many letters. All
people, Of course, do this to some ex-
tent, but We believe that the educated
bad speller does it very much more
than the good speller.
The ordinary man, puzzled about q
word, writes it to see how it looks !;
and this look tells him at once whether
he has spelled it right or wrong. Inc
true bad speller is, however, not helped
the very least bit in the world by this
process. He is only the more puzzled
by the writing on the blotting pad. He
may write the word dozen ways and
not get one version which looks to him
better than the others. The truth is,
his eyes have some defect, probably of
focusing power. which prevents him
seeing clearly the letters Of the
words. When he learns to read,
be learns to read verbatim, and
not literatim-and hence he sees, and
has always seen the symbol for "re-
ceive," not "r receive" with the re"
always following the &c" and in front
Of the ST."
This is why bad spoilers will almost
invariably be found to have been slow
in learning to read literally. They
were taught to read literally, but found
great difficulty in the process owing to
defective eyesight, and 30 had slowly
and laboriously to learn the words as
symbols of idea, not as compounded
letters. In word, bad spelling is a
defect Of the eyesight, not of the mind
and, in all probability to learn to spell
might be cured in children by the right
pair Of spectacles.
1t is not short sight that makes the
bad speller, SO much as oversight and
difficulty in focusing the eye. Short
sighted people are, indeed, apt to spell
well. They hold the book close to thee
ye, and see every letter standing out
clearly; fo., as is we'll known, the
effect of the short-sighted eye is to
magnify. The long-sighted eye, Oh the
other hand, sees small print as con-
fused and indistinct mass. The general
look Of the word is detected, but not
the letters which make it up.

COUNSEL TO MBN OF LARGE
AFFAIRS.

During such a period of financial
disturbance as the present, you find
it necessary to concentrate all your
talents and energies on the manage
ment Of your affairs.
You cannot safely delegate the
work to another.
At this time, any one else, no
matter what his ability, would be
unable to successfully conduct your
business, or protect your invest,
ments, as well as you can.
But there is a chance that you
may at any moment be forced thus
to turn your affairs over to the
management of another-namely,
in the event of your death.
Remember, that executors often
think more about avoiding risks
and protecting themselves than Of
carrying out the spirit of the testa-
tors views. They generally lack
experience in the business they are
trying TO Wlnd up.
This inexperience and possible
lack of interest may cost 10 or Is per
cent. of the value Of your estate, or
more.
You cannot but recognize the
truthlof. this statement;nevertheless
you can guard against this loss by
assuring your life for the amount
which in your judgment your exc
cutors would waste in winding up
your estate.
You can easily, by economizing
a little in your living gexpenses, pay
from your income the premium on
a policy for $4,000 or 100000,
issued by the strongest financial
institution of its kind in the world,
the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety of the United States, 120
Broadway, New York.
Ifyou then chance to die, your
executor will be INSTANTLY in the
possession of s500,000 or 100000 Of
cash in hand; and ready money will
have a touyfo!d value if death comes.
On the other hand, if you live,
and take your assurance (for ex-
ample) on the 20 year Tontine En-
dowment plan, you will yourset
reap a rich reward on maturity Of
the policy.
The following is an illustration of
one out of many such policies
FEATURING in 1885,
r. J. RILEY.
| June 2, 1898.
N. B.-The aoriter Of the a6ovs letter
has applied to the Equitable for me,0
policy for fve times the amount Of the
original policy.

"INTO THE VALLEY OF DEATH" I"
A Survivor of the Light Brigade Dies In
New York.

Valentine R. Gurney's body will be
borne to its last resting place in Green
wood cemetery this morning, says the
New YORK Herald of Thursday.
Guerney was one Of three remaining
survivors Of the immortal Light Brig
ade, who rode Unto the valley of
death" at Balaklava. He was q cor
netest in one of the squadrons Of that
band of martyrs, and for his bravery
he received the Victoria cross-as high
an honor as can be paid for courage
Gus act in the British army.
GuerDey came to this country several
years ago and soon lost his accumu-
lated money in disastrous business
ventures. His last two years were
spent in toiling poverty, and he had
difficulty in eking out an existence. AS
an insurance agent his gradually fail
ing health rendered his emoluments
neagre, and be was not successful as
journalist. Several English gentle
men in this city at times assisted him
financially.

Geographical "Dont's."
LGoldthwaite's Geographical Maya

LGoldthwaite's Geographical Maga-
| zine.
Don't say or write Austro- Hungary.
The best writer's prefer Austria-Hun-
gary.
Don'tca the Chinese "Mongolians." !"
It is better to reserve the latter name
for the people who live north Of China
proper.
Dou't speak of a native of China as a
Chinaman. You would not say that
you had an Ireland man digging in
your garden. It is better to cali John
a Chinese.
Don't say that New York City is
located OF Manhattan Island. Such. a
misuse Of the verb "to locate" is trying
to the nerves of the best photographers.
Say New York City is situated on Man
haitian Island.
Don'tspesk of China as our antipodes.
Our antipodes is the point Oh the other
side of the world reached by straight
line passing through the place on which
we stand and the centre of the earth.
Our antipodes is in the ocean south
west Of Australia.
Don't forget that Oriental names
ending in ian" have the accent almost
invariably on the last syllable, as
Teheran, Beloochistan.
Don't say that the compass points to
the true north, for it doesn't except in
| certain places. The compass points to
the magnetic north, which is at present
considerably west of the North Pole.
When Lieutenant Greely was at Lady
Franklin Bay the declination of his
needle Was found to be very great, the
needle pointing toward the magnetic
pole in direction nearly southwest.
When you are writing novel don't
get your geographical facts so badly
mixed as TO reflect discredit upon your
early training. In one of the popular
novels of the day the Azores are re-
ferred to as in a southern latitude. The
writer also introduces his hero into the
Antarctic regions in January, and
speaks of the "inky blackness" of the
nights be experienced there. Ofcourse
anybody ought to know that the
month of January is the height of the
Antarctic summer, and the entire
month is one continuous day.

CHICAGO. Sept. 26.-Scarcely more
than 500 head of native cattle arrived
today, the remainder of the $500 head
on sale coming from Texas and the Far
West. Sales OF natives were on a basis
of Sl@5.70 for inferior to extra. Not
enough trading was done to fairly eS-
tablish quotations. There were about
$500 Westerns and 1.500 Texans, and
they were salable at SI.50@4 ard S1.40
@3 respectively.
Good hogs sold close to yesterdays
prices at tile opening of business this
morning, but a little later they were
selling slowly at 10015c off. Poor and
common grades were that much lower
from the outset and were dull and
weak to the end. Good hogs were
steadily held at the close. From 81 to
1915 for culls there was trading all
along up to 1878 for heavy and to 81 for
fancy light. OF the former there were
not many sales at better than 1866. and
the bulk of the lights went at $6.75@
$50.
Prices for sheep underwent no radi-
cal change. Although the demand APP
peared to be Indifferent, there was
enough competition to hold the market
nearly steady at 81. 2503 % for lnfe rior
10 medium, and s3.50@4.4O for good to
choice. Sales of Westerns were on a
basis of S1.7503. 90.
Receipts-Cattle, 1850 head; calves,
1.2O0 head; hogs, $4,000 head; sheep,
Il, 900 head,
