A Millionaire's Hard Fate.

;. How sadly deficient some people are of any sense of humor when the subject is themselves Take the Duke of Devon shire, who delivered a speech at tine opening of ''Passmore Edwards House" for epileptics. So long as he kept to the epilepties the duke managed we'll enough, but before he sat down he must needs get ou the subject of him self and the sorrows of the poor mil lionaire:
 It might perhaps be considered pre- sumptuous for one who was reputed to be rich himself to offer advice to other rich men which he had not taken him self or was not himself prepared to fol- low, but perhaps he might be allowed to point out that there was some difference between those who happened to be ill the possessi ,n of wealth inherited from several generations and those who had created their own fortunes. Their prede- cessors, ill cases like his own, had gen erally contrived to find quite as many channels by which wealth flowed out as by which it flowed in, and those who had for the benefit and advantage of their successors created great estates, en- tailing much labor in administration and many responsibilities, had not left to their successors legacy of unmitigat- ed advantage.
 The spectacle of the duke inviting the commiseration of his audi nce for the cruel fate which compelled him to keep up Chatsworth and Devonshire House instead of founding homes for epileptics is indeed excruciating. West minister Gazette.
