New York's a1illionairedom.

When you get up beside the park
and Fifth avenue, beyond the region
of superb hotels, you begin to come
into millionairedom. Everybody
seems to be some sort of a million
aire there. There are sugar kings
and railway kings, Wall street mag
mates and mining princes. In COM
pany with competent cicerone the
conversation is a series of names
great in the business and social
world. Here is the house of the
steel and iron millionaire, over there
is the house of the baking powder
one. There live the multimillion-
aire pork packers who ennierated
from somewhere in the west ten
years ago and do not know anybody
yet. Over against them is the palace
of the great railway king.
Some of these have names to con-
jure with in that mighty world of
fashion which in New York is SO
large and so serious a part of the life
of the idle rich. Others are names
known only in the business world
through the simple articles they
have made their fortunes outof. But
the agglomeration of wealthis stupe-
flying, almost terrible. These sol
emn palaces, brooding i'll bulky maj
esty in an endless vista suggest all
those fearful questions which n1ust
seethe in the minds of the unfortu-
mates who live across town, herded
in the misery of huge tenements.-

Already Rewarded.

The last jokeat the expense of the
French Society For the Protection
of Animals is to the following effect:
A country man, armed with an
immense club, presented himself be-
fore hepresident of the society and
claimed the first prize. He was asked
to describe the act of humanity on
which he founded his claim.
II have saved the life of wolf, "
replied the country man. II might
easily have killed him with this
bludgeon," and he swung his weap-
Oh in the air, to the intense discom-
fort of the president.
But where was this wolf." i'll
quired the latter. "What had he
done to you:"
"He had just devoured my wife, y
was the reply.
The president reflected an instant,
and then said
"My friend, l am of the opinion
that you have been sufficiently re-
wsrded. "-Pittsburg Dispatch.

The millionaire and His Family,

This anecdote is told of the late
Commodore Vanderbilt. At Sara
toga, on one occasion, when sitting
on the piazza at q hotel, Il some
what overdressed lady approached
him and claimed his acquaintance.
The commodore arose and talked
affably with her, while his wife and
daughters shifted the air with scorn.
Father, " said the young lady, as
the commodore resumed his seat,
didn't you remember that vulgar
Mrs. B. as the woman who used to
sell poultry to US at home?'
Certainly responded the old
gentleman promptly. "And l re-
member your mother when she used
to sell root beer at cents Il glass
over in Jersey, when I went up
there from Staten Island peddling
oysters out of my boat. -
AS this homely reply was heard
by group surrounding the family,
there was no further attempt at aris-
tocratic airs ON the part of the Ia
dies during that eason.-Nuggets.

What Is o Hobbyo

If it is somebody else that rides it.,
we are quite sure to call it a hobby,
but if it be our own selves who am
BILE along in this fashion we are apt
to dignity our steed by the name of
a very strong bent or an enthusias-
tic inclination.
We are quite apt to apply the
terms "crank' or "opinionated
idiot" to those who oppose our pet
theories, forgetting that we, in our
turn, may be even more intolerant
of theirs.
It is most difficult thing for the
ordinary man to maintain what
would be called a rational equilibri-
um. The tendency to extremes is
so strong in the average character
that often insensibly one drifts into
arbitrary holdings of beliefs and
ideas and is either unable OF un-
willing to allow that other manners
and methods can be even approx
mately correct.
Hobbies are very comfortable and
desirable things if one rides them
with tight rein and sufficient in
telligence to keep them from pranc-
ing over other peoples preserves.
But the hobby that lifts its heels
whonever it comes near to any of
our special friends, or that throws
dust in the eyes of the community
at large and mud spatters every
thing that passes by it, is simply a
nuisance, and it and its rider ought
to be impounded until they are
somewhat tanned down Or at least
taught the wholesome lesson of re-
spect for the rights of others.-New

JOHN SINGLETON coPLEY.

An American Boy Who Became Lord
Chancellor of England.
"What delicious coloring-worthy
of Titan himself!" exclaimed Ben
jamin West, president of the Royal
academy, on receiving a portrait,
unaccompanied by name OF letter,
OF beautiful boy with squirrel in
his hand. All he could say was that
the painter must be an American,
for the wood on which the canvas
was stretched was American pine,
and the squirrel was such as is found
only in American forests.
Vests powers of deduction were
not at fault. The artist proved to
be John Singleton Copley, a Boston
boy who, without instruction, with
out even, as he himself AYERS, hav-
ing seen a decent picture till he left
America, had produced a piece of
work that, contrary to all rules and
precedents. was at once given an
honored place in the academy oxhi-
bition.
Encouraged by West, Copley set
tied in London. He intended that
his son, who bore the same name,
should also be painter, but the boy
had other ambition. He would not
beknown as the son of "Copley, the
painter 81 The world should rather
speak of "Copley, the father of the
lord chancellor. -
The way to that eminence lay
through the law, but success tarried.
At last came to the young barrister
a case of great Importance, relating
to spinning jenny. Finding that
he could not, from a mere descrip-
tion, fully understand the points of
the case, Copley went to Noting
ham. His client explained the prin-
ciple Of the machine till at length,
impatient at his listeners apparent
Indifference, he exclaimed:
"What is the use of talking to
you? have been trying this half
hour to make you understand, and
you pay me no attentionl'
In reply Copley went into the
whole question, showing such a
mastery of it in every detail that his
client was astorished. Finally, seat
ing himself at the machine, the at
torney turned out an unexception-
able example OF bobbin net lace.
Subsequently, i'll court, his explana-
tions were illustrated by the actual

him.
Fees now poured in upon him; he
took rank as the leader of his circuit
and was recognized as man mark

mately rose as three times lord chan
cellor of England.
He did not forgot that he was an
American by birth. Scupulorsly
careful of the feelings of others, he
was keenly alive to any lack of cour-
tesy toward himself. On one occa

not quite palatable to the king, Viii

"Pouring Oil ON Troubled Waters. >,

Governor was satisfied that the haunts
were made known, and no one olse
inquired very closely into the matter.
On the return of the expedition
Tacon was about to pay to Captain
Marti the promised reward, when the
latter interrupted him with d peculiar
proposition. He said he was i'm.
mensely wealthy, and cared not for
money, while the treasury of Cuba
was poor, He proposed that, instead
of the reward, to him should be
granted q monopoly of the fish trade
of Havana, and that he be permitted
to employ his contrabandists as fish
ermen. In the event of such grant
he promised to build the finest fish
market i'll the world, and at the end
OF twenty-five years to return his
privilege of monopoly and the fish
market to the Government.
Tacon accepted the proposition,
seeing in it his opportunity to hold
control over Malti. And for quarter
Of century the Havana market was
supplied with the finest of fish caught
by smugglers, absolutely safe from
the law in all that they did.
This monopoly filed to OVERLOOKING
the already well-supplied purse of
Marti, and he looked about him for
another investment for his money. He
conceived the idea of a theatre mon.
opoly, somewhat on the plan of his
fish market. He communicated with
iacon, who granted him the privilege
for twenty years, on condition that
the building be made the largest of
the kind in the world and named
Iacon.
