New Yorh'e aa,,lionairedom.

When you get up beside the park

Of superb hotels. you begin to come
into miliionairedom. Everybody
seems to be some sort of a million
aire there. There arc 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 tho business and sociul
world. Here is the house of the
eteel and iron millionaire, over there
is the house of the baking powder
one. There live the multimillion-
aire pork packers who emigratetl
from somewhere in the west ten
years ago and do not know anybody
yet. Over against them is tile palace
Of the great railway king.
Some Of these have names to con-
jure with in that mighty world of
fashion which i'll New Work is 80
large and go serious a part of the life
Of tho idle rich. Others are names
known only in the business world
through the simple articles they
have made their fortunes out of. But
the aggloneration OF wealth is gtupe-
flying, almost terrible. These sol

What Is o Hobby?

we are quite sure to call it hobby,
but II it be our own selves who am
ble along in this fashion we are apt
to dignity our steed by the name of
very strong bent or an onthusias-
tic inclination.
We are quite apt to apply the
terms "crank" or 'opinionatod
idiot" to those who oppose our pet
theories, forgetting that we, in our
turn, may be even more intolerant
Of theirs.
It is a most difficult thing for the
ordinary man to maintain what
would be called u 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 I'M
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 it's heels
whenever it comes near to any of
our special friends. or that throws
dust in the eyes of tho community
