HOW A MAN MADE S7,ooo.
Because the Chap Who Lost It Told Els
 Business In CakL


 Business In CakL
 Don't discuss your private business Rffairs in a public place. said an old Brooklynite to the New Yorker who ap- preached him in cafe near the city hall Then the Brooklyn man, pointing out real estate dealer, said:
 Talking about business deal in this very cafe cost that man S7,000, and the money went into my pocket too You see, he represented a syndicate that wanted to build on some property il which I was interested as the owner of one house and city lot. The agent did not know ne from a Canarse clammer We'll he came in here with friend one of tko syndicate-for luncheon on an afternoon in last July. They took seats at this table. sat at the next one.
 .'I began to take notice, as grand mas say, when heard the strangers at the next table discuss quite loudly deal in relation to the property adjoin- ing mine. The agent had ordered fine layout for luncheon and was evidently we'll pleased with his deal. He said to his friend
 Well. I pulled off the trick for that property at 219 Cheap street today The owner thought I was doing him favor. started in at $15, 900 and final ly closed with him for SIS. 900. He bit in q hurry. Why, the property is worth S25, 900 if it's worth a dollar to us. Now must look for the chap that owns 221. He'll be glad to get SIS, GOO for his house. It's lucky for us they're net on to the fact that we want to buy that entire block.
 II didn' t need to do any eavesdrop- ping, you see. That little speech of the agent cost him exactly $7, 000 You can readily guess that I, as the owner of 221 Cheap street, was not especially anxious to sell after that. I kept MT. Real Es- tate Man on the jump for nearly five months, and when I let up on him I got my price, exactly $25, 000-a neat little profit of $7, 900 above what I would have gladly accepted. So you sea the point of my remark to you. Don t discuss private business affairs in a pub lie place. Now we'll go to my office and I'll listen to your proposition. "- New York Sun.

HIDDEN GOLD IN PARIS.
Many Fanatics Spend Their Lives Hunting
 For Buried Treasure.

many 1anablcs SpenC Their Lives Hunting
 For Buried Treasure.
 Some Parisians are actually kept from wandering by conviction that there is hidden treasure behind the walls or be- heath the flooring or i'll the chimney nook or under the roof, says Chambers Journal.
 1 You are told that during the number less sieges to which Paris has been sub- jected and the internal revolutions . has undergone there exists not cellar or garret out has become the recepta- cle of some part of the immense riches | accumulated in religious houses and old families. There is perhaps, nothing ir- rational ill jhe supposition that in the good old times when conyents were made the repositories not only of the secrets of the aristocracy, but of the family jewels likewise instances must have occurred wherein these deposits were buried and remain undiscovered, together with the treasures of the CO., fraternity. But human folly has of late years exalted this rational possibility into dazzling certainty. Every means is now resorted to and more gold and pre- Gious time expended than the most val uable treasure could repay in order to seize the secret which still resists dis eovery. "While you of the matter of fact, plodding Anglo-saxon race are toiling and broiling ill Australia and California, searching for gold, we gold seekers of Paris find it here beneath our feet in the old quarters of the city round Notre Dame and the Hotel de Vile, 'where gold is teeming in greater plenty than amid the rock powders of Califor- nia or beneath the soil of Ballarat, said Dueasse, the great treasure seeker.

CARE FOR EMPLOYEES.
The Plan Which Large Manufacture
 Found Successful.

Whe Plan Which B Large Manufacture
 Found Successful.
 The question, "What is 10 become ol the old mani? is one that is frequently discussed. Generally it is meant to ap. ply to men who have not been able to save sufficient money to support them tn their declining years and whose eco nomio efficiency has become impaired by the passing of years To be depend. ent upon their children or relatives is 8 humiliation that would imbitter that part of their lives which should be free from care. The almshouse is a horror of degradation from which they shrink. In some countries the governments have endeavored to solve the problem by Q system of labor pensions. This is done &n Germany; but, despite it's merits, 1t still savers of charity or paternalism.
 4 few individuals have sought for solution in this country. In at least one community the employer of 1000 men insures the lives of all his workmen uL to $3. 000 and after 25 years of eontinu. ous service an employee may retire and continue to draw full wages as long as he lives To do this the employer says that 1t costs him not over per cent of his wages account, which he regards as the cheapest possible insurance against strikes and against the disturbance caused by constantly changing his work, ing force. He puts by every year that small percentage of his profits to the ac- count of wear and tear upon labor, just as he does larger percentage to the ac- count of wear and tear upon machinery. He is an earnest advoeat8 of a national labor pension and insurance system-not by the government but by an associa- sion of employers. New York Mail and Express

1t is one of the best ways, so doc

thoroughly well there should not
be a difference of more than two
or three ounces either way in u
hours. If you loose or gain as
much as eight ounces you should
Immediately consult a doctor, while
the gain or loss of pounds indicate
that you are of serious illness.
This, of course, does not apply to

swEDREs TRAMP CURE.

There are few tIamps In Sweden.
We never hear Of great strikes or
labor disturbances 10 that country.
And when Swedes emigTate TO 9th
rr countries they are always vel
come. They are usually found to
be Industrious, intelligent and
handy men, who can make them
selves useful In many branches Of
industry
The reason for this is probably
10 be found In the "sloyd' system
Of education which has been so long
IN operation ia Sweden. a writer
IN the January Outlook shows to
what an extent the the teaching OF
"sIoyd" is carried ia the public
schools OF Sweden BY il the chill
dreu are taught TO make for them
selves every thing conceivable for
use in daily liie-all articles Of
clothing, furniture and conyen-
fence and TO cook well. They are
also taught how TO make first class
tools.
The one pitiable thing about our
| American work seeker is his utter
helplessness when cast on his own
resources. He is not a handy
man, He can do nothing unless he
is put in the ranks and supplied
with tools and "bossed," If he had
a school education which includes
sloyd, he would have acquired self
reliance. industrial habits and skill
in self help,
Less faddism and more practical
education of this sort in American
schools would be good.-[St. Louis

American Securities Abroad.

advices, very large abroad of late,
and there appears to be a tendency
toward increase in the sales. If this
state of things holds, there will be
an increasing influx of British gold
into this market This is good news
and demonstrates the faith abroad
in the stability of our credit. There
is another point OF faith for which
the people not only OF this but

for credence, and that is, belief in
the efficacy of Hostetter's Stomach
