/ confess that when | consider this
charming young nation with its romantic
past and its most attractive future pros
poets, feel n little thrill comparable to that
with which watched the fortunes of the
water in It's Wentworth valley; so full of
surprises must its life be-so splendid i'm
its ventures, in its fearlessness, In its Joy
Gus seeking Of dangers, in It's bold plunges
into midair, in its enjoyment of the calm
prosperity of peaceful moments, and in its
ceaseless progress to new adventures and
conflicts. Its future is hidden, like the
stream in the forests at the bottom of the
gorge, but the sea is far away still for the
young mountain torrent, and the long
course is full Of fair scenes and great ex-
periences.
Australia will not be one of the happy
countries without history, but will sure
ly know, in Carlyle's sense of the word
the "blessedness" Of having history. Its
varied and progressive population, its con.
trasts of climate its relations TO Asia, It's
important position In the Pacific, its vast
resources and It's social progressveness all
unite to assure II of very significant
place in the future tale OF civilization. -

American Wealth.

Not greater than the wealth OF America
was the tabled wealth Of the Indies. There
are thousand Americans worth 81, ,0O0, 900
or more. There are ut least five Amer
leans richer than CrCesus Of song and story.
The wealth Of the Duke Of Westminster,
whose fortune is the greatest in Europe, is
at careful estimate GlO,OOO, 600, or $50, ,00O,-
600, and 1t is the accumulation of a long
ancestry. Most of the American fortunes
are the accumulation Of single genera
tion.
The aggregate wealth Of the Rothschilds
reaches nearly $1,000, 100000, but it is dis
tributed among 50 many that no individual
Rothschild is worth over s400V0,OOO, The
Vanderbilt family wealth foots up nearly
S25O,OO0OOO and is held in comparatively
few hands There are scores of Americans
who are richer than any ruling monarch
Of the eastern hemisphere. The incomes
OF many monarchs are large, but they are
derived from the civil lists of the countries
over which they hold sway. and do not rep
resent the aCcretions of their own fortunes.
As a people the Americans are the rich
est in the world. Money is more easily &c
quired here than anywhere else, and it is
likewise more literally spent. What are
considered moderate fortunes here are in
other lands regarded "a stupcndous aggre
cations Of wealth. There are no such op
portunities Of making money in other
countries as in this, and therefore it may
be expected that the number of American
milliouaires will be multiplied and the
fortunes of the present millionaires dou
bIed, tripled and quadrupled within tht
next two decades. New York World.

1t is evident that the makers of America
belong to the middle ranks Of society, and
that here is the center Of our hopes in re-
gard to the nation. The rich families
cannot be large in number with US, nor
can they maintain in successive genera
tions their hereditary prestige. The war
broke up the old order of things at the
south, and the fact that at the north there
is no room for the man who is simply a
gentleman Of leisure has prevented the
people who represent social distinction
from taking an active part in the legisla-
tive life Of the country The old families
have less influence today than they ever
had, and the leaders in legislation, in the
professions, in making and guiding public
opinion, and in contributing to the pros
perity Of the country are, for the most
part, men who have come from the ener-
getic middle class families everywhere.
These are the men who have derived most
benefit from our institutions and best un-
derstand how they are to be still further
developed. We do not care how rich man
is, nor who his grandfather was, but we ask
what his capacity may be and what his vir-
tues are, and we give him our confidence
chiefly on the basis of what he is and what
he can do. This current opinion as to what
constitutes family excellence has a wonder
full effect in the shaping of American fami.
lies. If the making of money is the ambi
tion Of most Americans, there Is a second.
ary ambition that concentrates itself in the
integrity and purity and strength Of the
homes of honest and industrious and intel
ligent people Boston Herald.

While there are doubtless many printing
presses in existence that would fulfill a
more useful mission if transformed into
road rollers, still it has fallen to the lot of
a newspaper in Middlesborough, England,
TO make the first adaptation Of a steam
road roller TO printing purposes. and it was
with such a unique machine that The
Northeastern Daily Gazette printed an edi-
ton of 1900 copies. The motive power Of
The Gazette office is gas engine, but on
the day in question an accident to the gas
works suddenly cut off the supply of gas.
A gang of workmen were hastily OBJ
tained from a neighboring establishment,
and heavy iron plates were laid in the yard
adjoining the printing room, in the walls
Of which large opening was made. A
fifteen ton steam roller was then pushed
into the press room, shored up and belted
to the shafting, and an hour after the
usual time Of going to press the presses
were started and the entire edition was
run of without hitch. - Newcastle

PlaYing Cards in Alabama.

Burr Mcintosh, the actor and quondam
newpaper man, relates funny anecdote.
About a year ago our company was de-
layed several hours at little way station
in Alabama near Birmingham. Several of
the party, including one of the ladies, sug-
gested a quiet game of hearts to pass
away the time There were absolutely nc
signs of civilization about the place except
ing an old COW and pig grazing quietly
near by, but we hadn't been playing five
minutes when big, burly fellow came
along swinging club and pompously
said, You are all under arreStp We
thought he was joking, and paid no atten
tion to him until he repeated the remark
when one Of the party did consent to say
'Ratsp
But the deputy saaR4E, or whatever hi
was, wouldn't have il. HenFrested us all
even the lady, although we protested that
the game was for fun and not money, anC
took us before the mayor who fined III
81 each and then tackled on costs enough u
make 1t 49, got even with the sheriff I
few days later on our return by throwing
bottle of ink all over him as our trail
passed the station, but never again at

The Great Chain at West Point.

One of the most notable events connect
ed with the manufacture of iron was the
making of the great iron chain which in
IT'S was stretched across the Hudson river
Mt West Point to prevent the passage of
British vessels Losing, in his Field
Book of the Revolution" gives Il very in
tcresting account of this work, of which
we can quote only the leading facts
"The iron Of which this chain was con-
structed was wrought from ore OF equal
parts from the Sterling and Long mines In
Orange county. The chain was manufact-
ured by Peter Townsend, Of Chester, at
the Sterling Iron works, in the same
county, which were situated about twenty
five miles back OF West Point, The chain
was completed about the middle of April,
l77S, and on the lst Of May it was stretched
across the river and secured. 1t was fixed
to huge blocks on each shore, and under
cover of batteries on both sides OF the
river"
at Is buoyed up" says DIR. Thacher,
writing In l7S0, "by very large logs OF
about sixteen feet long, pointed ut the
ends, to lessen their opposition TO the force
Of the current at flood and ebb tide. The
logs are placed at short distances from
each other, the chain carried over them
and made fast to each by staples. There
are also number Of anchors dropped al
proper distances, with cables made fast tC
the chain to give it greater stability" The
total weight of this chain was $50 tons.
Mr.. LOSING visited West Point in lSiS
and saw portion of this famous chain
and he tells us that there are twelve links
two clevises, and portion OF link re
manning. The links are made of iron bars
two and half inches square, and average
in length a little over two feet and weigh
about 100 pounds each. Nv. f. Durfee il

One Way of Making a Living.

There seems to be no limit to the variety
of ways in which dollar can be earned by
n sharp witted man. know one who
makes comfortable living by attending
auction sales Of furniture. He Is not in
collusion with the auctioneer; in fact he
will only attend such sales as are genuine
and peremptory, where every article Is sold
for the highest figure bid, no matter how
low that may be. Ny friend simply trades
on the weakness OF human nature, espe-
cially Of the feminine variety. Many
women attend these sales, and Rre really
desirous Of securing certain articles, but
shrink from the publicity Of trying to out.
bid some other would-be purchaser.
They prefer to give two or three dollars
advance on the price paid by the successful
bidder. This man secures all he can Of the
best bargains offered, and then disposes oI
them at a small advance upon his OUTLAY
to one or other of the disappointed bidders
It is not unusual for him to clear from ter
to twenty dollars day. There Is no loss
for even IL tho articles are left on his handl
he gets his money back by sending them Il

The war alluded to is the war of the
Spanish succession, caused by contest
between Austria and France as 70 whether
an Austrian or French prince should sit
on the throne of Spain. The war had been
determined on for several years before the
death Of the old King Charles II, but
about the time of his death an English lady
in Paris was raising II glass of water to
her lips at n crowded reception. A French
gentleman jostled against her and spiltth
water on her dress. Her escort took up
the matter and duel resulted, followed
by so general quarrel between the French
and English residents 'that IL was face

1t must be remembered that at 81 a pound
aluminium is really not SO high as It looks,
for the rcIction Of pound Of aluminium
to poun0 Of otfkr metals Is something
like that of the famous pound Of feathers
to the pound Of lead aluminium is almost
three times as bulky as iron, weight for
weight; it is more than four times as bulky
as silver, and more than seven times as
bulky as gold. Thus, If silver were 81 an
