WHY INTERVIEWS PLEASE

John Burroughs, in the Atlantic.
 I have often asked my self why 1t is that the interviewer will sometimes got so much more wisdom out of a man and so many more fresh and. entertaining statements-in bidding the president good-by. He has not man can get out of himself. Is it because ones best and ripest thoughts rise to the surface, like the cream on the milk, and does the interviewer simply skim them off :? Maybe that in writing we often dip too deep, make too great an effort. Interviews are nearly always interesting-much more so than formal. studied statement by the interviewee himself.
 Many a piece of sound, excellent litera- ture has been got out of a man who had no skill with the pen at all. His spoken word is vital and real; put a pen in his hand and the fire is quenched at once Hence, the charm of letters, of diaries, of the simple narratives and recitals of pio- neers, farmers, workers or persons who have no conscious literary equipment. As Sainte-Beuye discovered, "every peasant has style," because he has reality.
 Who would not rather read bit of real experience of a soldfer In battle such as a clever interviewer could draw out of him than to read his generals studied account of the same engagement? ITO elaborate is of no avail" says our poet. Learned and unlearned feel that it is so." Only the great artist can rival or surpass the sense of reality we often find in common speech.
 In pr. Johnsons talk as reported by Bos- well we touch the real man; in the Rambler you touch only his clothes or periwig. Em- erson said of Alcott that his conversation was wonderful, but that when he sat down to write his inspiration left him. Most men are wiser in company than in the study. What is interesting in a man Is what he himself has felt or seen or experienced. If you can tell us that we shall listen eagerly.

GREATEST ESTATE.
rom inc Chicago News.


 Who would not like to own more of the earth than any one else? This distinction belongs to Robert Gillespie Reid, to whom most of Newfoundland, the tenth island in the world, belongs. Reid is Scotchman, who secured grants of land on promise to improEe them. He has built railroads and towns and spent his life in developing his property. Newfoundland is one-sixth larg- CT than Ireland, and MT. Reid owns 5.O0O,- 900 acres.
 Since Newfoundland, tired of official in- ertia, and lack of capital, decided to turn over It's assets to a private capitalist by means of what is known as the Reid con- tract, is has been discovered that New foundland Is not only a rich mineral coun- try, but actually the richest on earth. "Czar Reid," as the unassuming owner Is called, has already refused uncounted mill Hons for his property, and in spite of the agitation begun by the colony to rescind the contract, there seems every reason to believe that MT. Reid will live to enjoy one of the largest private fortunes of the period, as well as to be famous for his sagacity in exploiting huge island, which was barren when he appeared on the scene
 Forty years ago MT. Reid left Scotland to make his way in the world, and since then he has lived a life of unremitting toll. He has built railways over many of the rough places of the world, and hard work and exposure In the northern climate have at last rather undermined his health. He is in Algeria now, but even at that distance goes on developing his Newfoundland prop erty. At present there are working under him in Newfoundland small army of pros pectors and surveyors; mills are being built, railway 400 miles long is being op- erated, a fleet of steamers Is in process of construction. All this is the result of the energy and shrewdness of one man. He has two sons grown men. who are associ- ated with him.

THE ARMY,
THE NAVY.

The navy was always in active service. with its officers and men under constant strain. Beginning with the blockade of Cuba, and including the victory of Manila Bay, the search for Ceryera's fleet, the wearing vigil off Santiago and the final de- feat of the Spaniards, there was no mem- Der of the United States navy that w4s not subjected to the severeSt mental and phys ical trials. But so admirable was the dis cipline, so thorough the sanitary conditions, and so watchful and intelligent was the care of the men, that not a single death from disease resulted.
 The army lost 5277 men from disease, brought on by bad food, unhealthy camp sites, poor medical attendance and general neglect. The greater portion of the troops were in camp in this country and did not go to Cuba They were not exposed in a treacherous tropical climate There was every reason why they should have re- mained well. That they died by the thous- ands is due solely to the ignorance of their officers about the necessity of enforcing sanitary regulations. the loathsome food furnished them, and the general neglect caused by bad management in the war de- nartment. ,r
