MADE RICH BY WORK,
Here's Proof that Man Can Get
Money Without Speculation.

1t used to be said that no man can
accumulate $1,000 ZOO of his own in
his own lifetime without doing in
justice to some one or making some
others poorer by his own thrift. This
was probably true before the modern
age OF improved machinery and great
inventions; it may be that even in these
tunes no man can make 81 600, 900 hon
estly In his own active life without
making others work for him. This is
saying but little, however, because as
soon as man has saved by his own
toll $4,000 he has enough capital, if
rightly used. to employ one other man.
AS soon as he has saved SO, 900 the
average man is the employer of four
men, and is on the road to become
millionaire, monopolist, plutocrat and
other things that campaign orators
hold up as something which voters
ought to put down. Yet the voters
and the orators ask nothing better
than to become one of that hated class
John Stephenson, the great car
builder, who was buried recently, says
the n. 7. Press, is an illustration of
what legitimate industry will do in
this wonderful country. He started
with nothing and he left about s., 000.-
600. He began at II working for 81
week and he died at 81, leaving an
income of 800 week. Yet it was
all honestly earned.
1t is said that Stephenson never in
vested dollar in his life in specula-
ton. He simply built with his own
hands the first street car ever made,
and he lived to see 5000 other men
building his street cars for almost
ever country on the face of the globe.
His great fortune and the esteem in
which all his men held him show that
no limit of "$1, 100000 honestly earn
ed" can be placed upon legitimate en-
terprise and industry in this country,

River Transit on Skins.

Ever since the time of Cyrus-and
how much earlier nobody would now
venture to guess-the people Of Asia
have used inflated skins of animals as
boats, says the Youths Companion
The practice may not be so widely
spread as formerly but in India the
skins of buffalos still serve the natives
for their wherries. They are called
deris. Their weight is not above SIX
teen pounds, so that they are easily
carried across the country from one
river to another. The cost of derl is
quoted at 3 shillings. An English
traveller relates his experience with
these boats as follows:
The skins used for this purpose are
those of bullocks and they are stripped
off in this manner: An incison is
made in the back part of a hind leg,
almost the whole length, and the skin
being flayed off from the hook upward
is turned forward. 1t is like the pro-
cess technically termed easing a
hare, except that the skin is cut
through and around the knees and
hooks, the legs being left adhering to
the body.
The hide is then doubled up and
buried for few days in order to suf-
fer SO much decomposition as will favor
the separation of the hair, which is
rubbed off by the hand or a blunt
wooden knife without abrasion of the
skin. The skin is then turned inside
out and the eyes and other openings
are stitched up. 1t is then turned
back again and the main incision is
sewed up with thongs of rawhIde.
The open ends of the limbs are tied
except one, which is left open as a
tube by which TO initiate the skins. The
thin tar procured from the deodar and
other species of pine is then poured
into the skin and SHAKEN until the flesh
inside is we'll charged with it and the
skin is then we'll tanned eXteriorily by
sleeping it in an infusion of pOme-
granate huskS.
When required for use the water.
man blows into it through the hind
tube and ties up the opening. A
double thin cord is fastened round the
inflated skin across which the water
man places himself on his chest,
holding the string with his left hand,
while with his right he manages a
short ore, assisting his passage with
his hands and feet.
Sometimes piece of stick is tied in
one of the legs and left projecting from
it for the waterman 10 hold instead of
the string.

LOUISVILLE Player Gives the Secret of
Her Success Last Winter.

1here are as many superStitiouS peo-
pie in the world to-day as there ever
were, says the Louisville COu1ier-JOur-
nal. and the belief in signs. charms
and omens has by no means passed
away. A charming young married
woman has won almost all of the
prizes at the progressive euchre par
ties she attended last winter. She
plays well, but, as friend told her,
1.-THE best players have to hold good
cards to win" At the end of the sea-
son she told what she thinks has been
the cause of all her luck. Il never fail
to cut my finger nails before breakfast
every Monday morning" she said,
"and that is my magical charm against
bad luck for the whole week" A pref
ty little woman, who was visiting here
from nei9hboring town, looked adj
miringly at her own dainty fingers and
anxiously inquired IF filing would do
as well, for cutting the nails Injuries
them So" but the lucky one was posi-.
tive it would not, and the pretty nails
would have to be sacrificed if their
owner wished to win.
One of the best women know shows
piece of silver TO the new moon each
month, and if she has to turn back
after she starts anywhere she careful
~ splits before she sets out again. The
most cherished possession of one of
the most successful singers now on
the stage is pair of old stockings she
wore on the night of her greatest
triumph. and she is so sure that so
long as they remain with her so long
her luck will last that she would part
sooner with cOstliest gems than with
these worn silk hose. 1t is said the
late Mr.. Belmont would bet heavily if
flight of birds crossed his path while
he was on his way TO the race course.

Canada?
