TWO MILLI0NAIREs, rR0UBL rs.


Pity the sorrows of a millionaire. 1t
appears that milionaires have their
troubles. One of the troubles of Mr..
Stratton, the Cripple Greek millionaire,
is to keep himself from getting rich too
fast. What am trying to do" he
says, lis to keep my income down with
in the limits of decency." And Mr. e.
T. Hooley, an English Millionaire, is
troubled because he can't give away his
money so as to suit some people. Mr.
Hooley has long been in the habit of
sending checks for large amounts to
the various charities in the district
where he lives, but this, instead of add
ing to his popularity, simply melted his
political opponents-of course Mr.. Hoo
ley is the most convinced of Tories
to charge him with trying to purchase
a seat in Parliament. In an attempt to
meet this criticism he has now set
aside the exceedingly plump sum of

this hospital, and week or two later
a thousand to some other charitable

buy the voters and take Sir William
Fosters place AS 1 could not help

how mistaken they were. So I handed
over the sum of e4O0 900 to committees
to administer, and / constituted the
committees without regard to religion
or politics. There are Radicals and

on the committees. So there is no IA
voritism, and yet the papers grumble
more than ever
These revelations show that it may
hurt to be very rich as much as a
needle in a camefs eye would hurt
But such is the uneasiness of poor hui
man nature that it will never be con-
WINGED of this great truth until it has
become rich.

the weld, another set of specimens was
prepared, and cut taken from each
in the lathe, in order to reduce the
piece to a uniform diameter throughout
its length between the jaws of the test
ing machine, and common round iron
was used, Under this arrangement
three bars Of metal were taken at ram
dom, dimensions one and one-half inch
es long and three-quarters of an inch
in diameter, from each bar four speci-
mems being prepared, one solid, one
lap-welded, one butt-welded and one
split-welded. The result was that only
two specimens, both lap-welded, broke
at or near the weld, the fracture being
in one case slightly crystalline, and the
other flbrous, the strength in no case
differing much from that Of the solid
parts.

THE RUNNERS.
A Story of the Camp.


1t is true story, for 1 know the Of
ficer who told 1t to me for true.
A company of Indian scouts employed
by the United States army was sta
toned at Camp Tonic with the troops.
We were crowded, and the scouts camp
ed under the great sycamores that lined
the banks of the desert stream. They
We're an indolent lot-nomad barbara

pinch. but took their leisure seriously.
Among them q few were noted for an
endurance extraordinary even among
Indians; and foremost of them all was
4 tall, 1.-THE, sinewy young fellow named
Pablo. He was a famous runner, and
much in demand for carrying important
dispatches across the country.
Among the white soldiers at the post
was one Robertson, who had also con-
siderable repute as long-distance run
ner. Between him and Pablo a ficti-
tious rivalry had been created by the
idle talk of the soldiers. There was not
just then much else to do, and the men
tainted one and the other with inferi-
GRITTY. Robertson used to grow angry
and swear saVagely at these gatherings,
but Pablo simply held his speech and
refused to enter into any argument,
struggling his shoulders and walking
away.
But the men, for want of better oc-
cupation, kept up their banter and at
last a race was arranged. The officers
had become interested, and an opportu-
nifty was easily made. A dispatch was
to be sent to Fort Grant, 1876 miles dis
tant. Pablo was to carry it, and as
soon as he should return Robertson was
to make the same journey and try to
beat his time. The winner was to have
a handsome purse and the champion
ship.
1t was in summer, and the desert
nights were light and warm. Pablo
set out at shutdown. We all watched
him as he swung away in that long,
swinging stride. and peered after him
till the 1.-THE figure was swallowed up
by the distance and the gathering
gloom. He carried only a small sack
of jerked meat and few biscuits. The
trip across the desert was not without
danger. At one stretch it was thirty
five miles from water to water.

4 NEEDED PROFESSION.

The new tariff bill provides that
wearing apparel, articles of personal
adornment, toilet articles, and similar
personal effects of persons arriving in
the United States shall be free from
duty, but this exemption shall only in
clude such articles as actually accom-
pany and are in the use of and as are
necessary and appropriate for the wear
and use of such persons for the imme-
diate purposes of journey and present
comfort and convenience, and shall not
be held to apply to merchandise or ar
ticles intended for other persons or for
sale; and in case the persons thus ar
irving are citizens or residents of the
United States, the articles exempted
shall not exceed 500 in value, nor shall
the exemption apply to residents of
other countries, entering the United
States more than once in each year;
provided, however, that all the wearing
residents Of the United States, so re-
turning, as may have been taken by
them out Of the United States to foreign
countries and which have not been adj
vanced in value or improved in condi-
ton by any process Of labor or manu-
facture IN such countries, shall be adj
mitted free of duty, without regard to
their value, upon their identity being
established under appropriate rules and
regulations to be prescribed by the Sec
| rotary of the treasury.
This will place a check on the Excess
sive purchase by tourists of articles os-
tensibly for personal use, but really
constituting wholesale irlportations OF
goods that should pay duty. An Am
erican traveller, il the bill becomes a
law, cannot buy abroad a years supply
of silks, gloves, dresses, clothing, etc.
and bring them home, without paying
the regular tariff on such articles as he
should.

The rage for boleres is undated, and
it allows all sorts of happy expedients
in the way of combination costumes.
AS for instance a black grenadine is
made over an ivory striped silk The
jaunty short bolero is separate from the
brocaded ivory white grenadine of the
bodice. This bodice shows in perfect
modelling to the figure in the back and
is like a loosely pleated front from
chin to belt. The belt is simply a roll
of black satin, with a handsome bow
at one side for a finish. The little boil
ero turns back with pair Of jaunty
revers and under them is set a fall of
lace that the outline of the revers may
be made clear. This same little bolero
can be worn over black satin blouse,
the result being a very stunning black
costume. Of course the brocaded ivory
grenadine can also be used with some
thing else, as sleeves are provided that
hook on at the shoulder When the
sleeves are on the brocade it is at once
a complete bodice and worn under a
green velvet bolero and cashmere skirt
the effect is as jaunty as If it had been
made for use with the green.

took no notice of them. An official hav-
ing walked up to him with polite re-
monstrance, he quietly pointed to two
ladies seated in front of him with hats
much higher than his own, and re-
marked that so long as that sort of
thing was allowed he would continue
to keep his own head covered. Allu-
sion was then made to the police com

place, and requested that his money
might be returned, AS this was refused
he took his departure, but lost no time
in summoning the manager to appear
before the justice of the peace, who will
have to decide the rights of the case.
The document with which the manager
has been presented sets forth that there
is no rule compelling men to remove
their hats in theatres, and that, more
over, it is idle to pretend that their
headgear prevents the other spectators
from witnessing the performance, inas-
much as womens hats, which are now
of ridiculously exaggerated proportions,
are tolerated. Nor, it is added, does
the difference Of sex suffice to explain
this unfair treatment, seeing that men
are often in more need of a head-cover-
ing than women. Accordingly, the
plaintiff asks that the price of his stall
shall be returned to him, and that fifty
francs shall be paid as compensation
for his loss of the pleasure of Witness
ing the performance.
Success to this bold advocate of the
rights of Man. Sarah Bernhard has
become interested in the theatre-hat
nuisance, and she makes the sensible
suggestion that women take to using
mantillas in the evening at restaurant
dinners and subsequent visits to the
theatre. The use of wraps for the head
which are easily removed, has long
been customary in Germany.
