It must be confessed that our million
aires are learning TO spend their money
both wisely and we'll. We are most Of
as willing to admit that we could i'm
prove on their ideas and get more fun
out of their dollars than they appear TO,
but still, taken all in all, they are doing
fairly we'll
1t IS rather interesting to note just
how they are doing it too. A radical
change seems to be under way that
eventually will make a vast difference
In our social conditions. Just what the
results Of this change will be it is hard
TO predict. Up to dozen or 10 years
ago our millionaires seemed to have a
common ambition to build and live in
big city mansions. Certain streets in
each great city in the country bear evil

aspires to live like an English country
gentleman. AS he has about $40, 900, 600
to back him and all the luxurious tastes
of a gentleman of refinement and educa-
ton, it is no wonder that he has adm1-
rably succeeded. On the shores of Lake
Champlain near Burlington, VT, he has
an estate that was originally 40 distinct
farms He has transformed these into a
harmonious whole. He makes a special
ty of horse breeding and farms on an ex-
tensive scale. During the summer he
has over 400 persons working for him.
His employees live in sort OF barracks
near the farm buildings. He has big
game preserve and is constantly adding
to it.
Still Mr.. Webb is not satisfied He is
going to build on his estate palace
that will reproduce an old feudal cas-
tie. He is going to have banquet
room in it where 100 guests can sit
down at once, and when he gets 1t fin
ished he intends to entertain on mag
nificent scale.
George Pullman, the parlor car mag
nate, has gone way up to the boundary
! line of the Union to build his suburban
| home. There he bought one or the
Thousand islands, and on it he has
erected a picturesque structure which he
calls Castle Rest It is castle, too, and
occupies the biggest part OF the island.
In it he can entertain guests by the
score and can be undisputed ruler of the
whole island
| Whitelaw Reid, too, has a great estate
on the Hudson river, and his Ophlr
farm residence Is almost a castle. He
spends very little time in the city and
comes about as near living the life OF
an English country gentleman as any
millionaire in the country.
These are the kind of country homes
| our American millionaires are rearing.
and there are few of them who prefer &c
spend much of their time III their costly
city houses, where sunlight Is often
| luxury that wealth viii not buy and
where trees and green lawns are out OF
the question. SEWELL FORD.

A Question of Precedence.

The various noble orders of merit in
Great Britain have the following prec-
edence: knights Grand Crosses of the
Bath, Knights Grand Crosses of the
Star of India. Knights of st. Patrick,
Knights Grand Crosses of st. Michael
and st. George, Knights Commanders
of the Bath, knights Commanders OF
the Star of India, Knights Commanders
of st. Michael and St George, and
knights Bachelors.

Flowers as an Advertisement.

A Utah railroad man advertised his
road by sending carload of hlacs to
Colorado mining districts. The flowers
were gathered by school children, and
the. car left a trail of joy and fragrance
wherever it went.
