THE ENLARGED USE OF
SILVER.

Fred Gebhardt. the New Yerk
dude millionaire, who gai aed what
notoriety he has by following Mrs.
Lille Langtry about like n poodle
dog and spending fortune on her,
is at last married to a Miss Morris,
who, according to the sycophantic
newspaper and telegraphic organs
of the exclusive 400" is the mast
beautiful and cha, ming woman in
The world. But this is not what in
terests the western plebian beggars.
1t is Freddie's practical idea con
cerning the enlarged use OF silver
that attracts our fancy. As we'd
ding present to this most beautiful
of brides the groom presented her
with solid silver mot butter
knife bath tub. Its cost Was
nearly $6,500, and AS Fred Income
is $50, 900 a year, W. judge he paid
cash for 1t. The tub is highly or
namented, has cushioned seats, re.
cepticles for perfumes, soaps, man
icure set, elder down, etc. The
tub, instead Of baing connected
with the kitchen range. is to be
supplied with eu de cologne piped
some distance from cologne FAC
tory. Before each bath the tub
is to be smothered in violets, OF
which the bride is very fond. This
reminds us that some time ago Mr..

nary individual as eccentric, foolish,
insanely extravagant il not actually
sinful. II is nothing of the sort

which even Solomon was not pos.
sessed. Ii shows Fred as not

A New England merchant is reported
to have recently remarked that his ex-
penses have augmented every year, and
that he was all the better off on that
account. Being asked the reason, he
said that he took care 10 get good
help, which he always paid well, no
matter how the times were. He had
not adopted the proft-sharing system
and since his help did not divide his
profits, which as a rule were sufficiently
large, he did not feel that he should
expect them u share the loss. The re-
suit was that his employees never left
him-his interests were their interests
and each year he felt that their in
creased experience. coupled with their
unfiagging assiduity. entitled them &c
larger pay. He always had men. he
