Dupin and the Epigram.

Dupin's belief in the omnipotence OF
epigram as moral veneer for political
as we'll as other immortality was to a
great extent justified by his thorough
knowledge of and his supreme contempt
for the majority of his countrymen, and
especially for those actively engaged in
politics. He knew that in France one
well delivered epigram is sufficient to
start man on a prosperous career, SUI
ficient to hurl the man at whom 1T Is
leveled from the pedestal he has climbed
with infinite trouble and perseverance.
And, seeing that he had not his equal

even in Talleyrand, that his peer in that
respect, Rivarol, had been in his grave

pin had never been very sparing OF
them. From that moment, however, he
began to sow them broadcast, taking
care not to hide his light under bushel.

sin. Rather than plead and not be re-

in fact he did when asked to defend

The Hum of the Metropolis Penetrates 1t
With Ever Varying Cadence.
The greatest attraction Of Hyde park
is one which Londoners. and most visit
ors fail to discover and appreciate. 1t is
a unique and subtle charm whose mean
ing only those can know who have fall
Ell under its spell. Hyde park, be it re-
membered, is the only great plot of
verdure in the world set in the very
center Of great city. Boston Common
is but a garden compared with it, Cen
trail park may soon be hemmed in by
New Yorks teeming millions, but not
yet. Hyde park is a grateful refuge of
silence in the midst of turmoil. Only
upon its outer borders does the restless
mob infringe. Within, away from Rot
ten row, away from carriage drive and
fashionable promenade, there is always
rest, tranquility, silence no, not ST.
lence, but in its place the thing which
is the mysterious charm of the spot.
Find seat upon bench in the midst
of the wide, sweeping, open green where

A Story of Hirsch.

One of the late Baron Hirsch's lido.
syncrasies, says the London Daily Cou-
rier, was somewhat Of an embarrassment
to the ladies with whom he was ac-
quainted, though some people might
not have objected to it.
The baron had a fondness for playing
cards with the ladies he met at country
houses and losing money to them. Not
few sixpences either, but el0. ego.
ESQ at sitting.
At first sight there may not seem any
thing very embarrassing in this. But
the fact is that the baron would take
pains to lose, and it was a common
thing for onlookers to say that such and
such a lady with whom he was playing
bezique, or whatever the game might
be, would be richer that evening by g5C
or so.
Fairly won. no lady would object
perhaps.
But the baron would carefully stop
or play badly, just so as to leave his
opponent the victor, and then what he
really enjoyed was pulling out few
bank notes and passing them over.
Not very vicious taste in multi
millionaire. Still, it is not every lady
in society who can take what is prac
tically present of money without feel
ing uncomfortable.
The worst of it was that the barol
was such a bad hand at deception
Everybody knew his little game.

There ave many fellows at college
who have money and use it we'll, but
the mere fact that a man has cash in
his pocket does not get him on to ath-
letic teams, or into college clubs or So
cieties, or at tho head of his class. 1t
helps him ON if he's good chap. 1t
holds him back if he isn't. Then by and
by, when you get through college, You
will find it just the same in businesses
of all kinds. Money seems to help q
good man along and seems to be the
worst enemy of bad man. So that to
think only of money first. and then Of
doing fine things with it after it ia
gained, is putting the cart before the
horse. And, if you want to be in the
senate. it's the wrong way to go at it to
go down to South America and work in
a gold mine for 20 years simply and
solely to ''raise the cash" for the pur-
pose of buying the votes Of state. even
If such procedure were moral and
right, which is unquestionably not the
case
Rather make up your mind what you
want to do and then try to make a
| financial success of it as well as all 9th
er kinds of successes. If it is the hide
and leather business, try to make money
each year, but try also to make money
fairly. to learn the trade thoroughly
and to keep pace with the literature,
the politics, the life of your own day.
If it is the ministry or law or litera
ture, try to make both ends meet each
year, and to make money just the same,
but don't forget that all these branches
Of work require something besides cash
| to make them successes. In certain
way it is just as wrong to try to believe
that money is an evil as it is to let your
self believe that money is the only
thing worth having. 1t is a great and
good thing when you have learned how
to use it and mighty poor thing wher
IL is abused Decide, therefore, on wha
work you will set out, without regard
to money, and then try to make finan
cial as well as an intellectual success O
it.-Harper' Round Table.

THE OLDEST oBEl!sK.
it Stands ON the Banks OF tho Nile Not
Far From Cairo.

Far From Cairo.
This Oldest of all the obelisks liz the
beautiful one of rosy granite which
stands alone among the green fields ON
the banks Of the Nile not far from
Cairo. 1t is the gravestone of great
city which has vanished and left only
this relic behind. That city was Beth
shemes OF Scripture. the famous On,
which is memorable to all Bible readers
as the residence of the priest of On,
Potipherah, whose daughter Asenath
Joseph married. The Greeks called it
Heliopolis, the city Of the sun, because
there the worship of the sun had its
chief center and its most sacred shrine.
1t was the seat of the most ancient uni
versity in the world, to which youthful
students came from all parts of the
world to learn the occult wisdom which
the priests of On alone could teach.
Thales, Scion, Eudoxus, Pythagoras
and Plato all studied there; perhaps
Moses too. 1t was also the birthplace of
the sacred literature of Egypt, where
were written on papyrus leaves the orig
inal chapter of the oldest book i'm the
world, generally known as 1.-The Book
OF the Dead, giving most striking
account of the conflicts and triumphs of
the life after death, whole copy Oh
fragment of which every Egyptian, rich
or poor, wished to have buried with
him in his coffin, and portions of which
are found inscribed ON every mummy
case and on the walls of every tomb. In
front of one of the principal temples OF
the sun in this magnificent city stood
along with companion long since de-
stroyed, the solitary obelisk which we
now behold Oh the spot. 1t alone has
survived the wreck Of all the glory Of
the place. 1t was constructed by User

nastic changes of the land and still
