WEALTHY MAYS HOME IDEA.
One Household Has Combined Hotel
 and Private Comforts.

and Private Comforts.
 ''I saw something in the newspapers the other day" remarked well dressed, eomfortable-looking man. about Vanderbilt giving up that great house of his down there at Asheyllle, and l wonder that he has worried with It as long as he has, not to mention the tremendous amount of money he has spent on 1t. Now, | am B0t so rich as Mr. Vanderbilt, but l have something for rainy day, and have more for that purpose by not spending II all on Il palace. l presume l might have put as much as $250000 Into Il home for my self and family, but instead of doing that l bought Il tract of land finely lo- cated in New York State. for which gave S10,O00. There WAS quite Il fake on 1t and some pretty sharp hills, whicl made 1t cheap land, and got plenty for my money, but It was what l wanted. It WAS conveniently located within three hours of the city and was not far from two or three good country towns and mile from the railroad.
 Here l built what you might call summer hotel. It was house of frame. costing. furnished In q plain, substantial way, S25 .000, and had forty rooms in ii, including office. ballroom and the usual SimilitudeS of summer no- tels In all their appointments, with e:ec- trlc light, water. sewerage, etc. On the lake 1 put Il small launch and q lot of I T n Stn ble accommodating a dozen horses and vehicles and added bowling alley, tell nls court, golf links and all that sort. Then I secured good small hotel man. ager and q force of servants sufficient to run my hotel In q pleasant and com fortable way, without any frills, and my family and l moved fin.
 My wife lived exactly as if she were In hotel, except that the manager conferred with her when she wished any changes, and she took none of the worry of housekeeping upon hersrlc. My sons and daughters had their apnrt- ments as in any other hotel. and l made no eXactlons except that the entire fam- fly should dine together every day when we were all at home. Of course We oli- tertalned and still entertain our friends, but there isn't any worry about them. We all live together as In one hotel. and everything we have is for them as much as for Us. and the manager in charge of us all.
 Tt Is the ideal way of living. and on an outlay ofS5.000 for the place and an expense of less than $10.000 n year We live better and have ten times as much good out of life as most of our rich coll temporaries g.t out of Sl00.oo0 a year or more. I may add that in winter the force is cut down and We live in town, but the house is always ready for any of Us who may want to go there - Washington Star.

 The men, while in "durance vile," are treated a great deal better than the women, although they are tried and dealt with in q much more summary manner. A Chinese prisoner is put to death for the slightest offense and there Is no doubt that if he could save his life by so doing he would gladly bear the punishment meted out to the ladies of the Flowery Land who come under the ban of the law.

Advertisers Are Immortal.

Great advertisers live in the history of the city and the prosperity of their firms long after they themselves have ''shuffled off this mortal coil;" their an- nouncements In the newspapers contin- ue to bear fruit after the advertisers are dead. On the other hand. the non- advertising business man is dead to the community long before he leaves this life; and his business is more than apt to die with him.-Savannah News.

ONE STAGE TRICK.

How the Blindfolded Juggler Performs
 Seemingly Marvellous Tricks.
 The next time you see a bllndfolded juggler tossing knives and razors with unerring skill and keeping half doz- en eggs unbroken in the air at at once. do not let your wonder and admiration overpower you. You have seen his as- sistant blindfold him with handller- chief. Then you have seen q bag of heavy burlaps adjusted over his head and shoulders to exclude even the light. And yet not one egg ever fails. Not one knife ever escapes him.
 As matter of fact, the coarse bur lap bag has threads drawn out Tn that part which comes before his face, and in the adjusting of it the assistant sim ply slides the handkerchief up or down little. In taking the bag off again he returns the handkerchief to Its place. The next time the blindfolded juggler

Art of Hog Driving,

The difficulty of driving a single hog was well illustrated at the foot of 9th street the other afternoon at about train time. Some men Were driving a herd of swine to Amherst, and as they approached the bridge one of the ani- malls became obstreperous and bolted toward the city, becoming thereby sep arated from the rest of the drove.
 The three or four men, assisted by volunteers, placed themselves between the city and the rebellious hog in a seuh-circle, while one of their number advanced cautiously and began to tickle the hogs nose with a pine brush. This would make the animal turn round, and each time he did so he would move a few steps toward the bridge and the rest of the drove. The mancuvers were watched with a great deal of interest by a large crowd of spectators, and when finally the waywnrd one returned to the bosom of the drove a very audi. ble murmur of admiration went up from the crowd.-Lynchbur News.
