WORLD'SRICHESTMAN
HE LIVES IN LONDON AMI
WORKS IN SOUTH AFRICA.
His Name Is Alfred Belt and H, e
Said to he = Billionaire-A Psrtu.r
of Cecil Rhodes and the hoths,-
schilds.
(London letter.

The richest man in the world is
without doubt a Londoner who spends
mostly all his time in South Africa,
and who is almost unknown in Eng
land. 1t is said that he is the only
living billionaire, and his power is felt
all over South Africa and the far east.
This man, Alfred Belt by name, Is only
As years old. In appearance he is
plain. almost shabby, and no one. un-
acquainted with him, would think him
possessed of millions. More than any
other man except Rhodes he is respon-
sible for the present war with the
Beers. AS young man Belt was sent
from Johannesburg to the diamond
mines at Kimberley. He was only %,
but he had skill enough to see that with
proper management the mines were
only at the beginning OF their life. He
had a rich father in kis German home,
who backed him with abundant funds,
and young Belt began buying with
marvellous results. He was soon Joined
by another man whose name is now
in the mouths of all-Cecil Rhodes.
Rhodes was backed by the Rothschilds.
Belt by his father, and together the
two succeeded in forming the great
diamond trust, which, under the name
of De Beers, now controls practically
the whole output of the most precious
stones in the world. At the De Beers
mines in Kimberley Messrs. Belt and
Rhodes do things on big scale. Nine
years ago they admitted that up to
that time they had taken something
like nine tons OF diamonds from their
mines. The mines yield a profit of
close on s9,O00,OO0 a year and pay a
dividend of 40 per cent. Last year

HINTS ON CARVING.
accomplishment Women DO Well to Ae-
quire Nowadays.

quire Nowadays.
In these revolutionary days when
women are usurping most of mems
privileges and prerogatives, and are
having thrust upon them SO many of
mems burdens, it is eminently fitting
and proper that they should consider
seriously the question of carving. Not
very many families dine in Russia
fashion from the sideboard with the
aid of a dignified butler. In most
households some one has to carve be-
fore the eyes of the assembled diners.
and it behooves women that they
should be able to perform the little
rite with grace and skill. If they sue
ceed in doing this they will do more
than their lords and masters have
often succeeded in doing. A good
knife of moderate size and great sharp
ness is necessity. The platter should
be placed near enough to the carver
to give her control of it. The roast
pieces, such as loins, breast, fore-quar-
ters and the like, the butcher should
have been told to separate the joints
SO that carving may not be impossible
In carving beef, mutton, lamb and veal
thin, smooth, neat slices are desira-
Bile. They should always be cut across
the grain, taking care to pass the knife
through to the bones of the meat In
carving leg of mutton the best slices
are obtained from the center and the
next best from the broad end The
pieces from the part next the knuckle
are apt to be dry. A sirloin of beef
yields its best slices from tn end near
the tenderloin. If it Is cut through in
this part. the pieces must be fairly
thick; If long. thin slices are desired
it should be cut across. In carving
chicken or turkey. place the head to
the right, cut off the wing nearest:
then the leg, and then the second
Joint; then slice the breast until a
rounded piece appears. Insert tho
knife between that and the bone and
separate them; that is considered the
best part of the bird. Next comes the
erry-thought." After this. turn over
the bird little. and just below the
breast will be found the 'oyster'
which can be separated as the Inner
breast can be. The side bone lies be-
side the rump and the morsel can be
taken out without separating the whole
bone. Proceed in the same way with
the other side.-Kansas City Journal

HOW TO CARE FOR UMBRELLAS
Fints From a Manufacturer Which May
ProIonK Their Usefulness.


Rints From Manufacturer Which May
ProIong Their UsefuIness.
Manufacturers and jobbers of UNI
brellas say that there were more UNI
brellas sold during the past year than
for the past five years. Especially is
this true in Baltimore of the finer
grades of goods, for which the de-
mand has been unusually great. Re-
tailers did remarkably large holiday
trade, and, of course, the manufactur-
ers and jobbers profited by it. While
Baltimore does not rank high az n
manufacturing center for umbrellas
in point of numbers. its reputation
depends on the fine quality of goods
made up in this city. 1t is estimated
that over 500 hands are steadily en-
gagged in the manufacture of umbrel-
las in Baltimore, and that an average
of 5000 complete umbrellas are turned
out every week. During some seasons
the figures are greater or less, but that
is the average production. Like many
other articles of manufacture, the max
ing of umbrellas has been reduced to
the assembling of the parts and turn
ing out the complete shelter from the
rain. One firm makes the steel tubing
which nowadays forms the stick OF
the umbrellas, another turns out the
ribs, another the various fancy han
dies, and so on through the list. silks
and other materials for the covers are
cut and sewed in the factory, where
the other parts are brought by the
thousand and put together. To such
a degree of perfection has the machin-
cry been brought for making the vari-
Gus parts of an umbrella that 1t is
said that it is actually cheaper to make
a new umbrella than to repair an old
one. That Is to say, that in the time
taken by a workman to repair an UNI
brella he can turn. out probably half
dozen new ones complete. Recent
sales show that while Baltimoreans
prefer the better qualities of silk COW
ering for umbrellas, they favor natural
wood handles or those tipped with
pearl for ladies' umbrellas. For men
the demand is for the combinations in
ivory handles, next to the natural wood
sticks and the silver mounted wood
handles. A manufacturer gives three
points about the care of umbrellas
which will tend to their lasting longer
while in service. In the first place an
umbrella should not be tightly rolled
and then put in a close cover unless
it is desired to have the silk cut to
pieces in every fold. Even when lying
in stock it is said that tightly rolled
umbrellas will cut out in few weeks.
The other precaution is to open an UNI
brella when it has been wet and let 1t
dry while spead open. This will pre-
vent the water gathering in the folds
and rotting the fabric which forms the
covering. Sun.

SUPERSTITIONS
That That Arc Cherised by tho Soldier"
of the Queen.

That That Arc Cherised by tho Soldiers
of the Queen.
Tommy Atkins of the British army
has many superstitions and faiths be-
side that recommended by oliver
Crom well--to trust in God and keep his
powder dry. If Tommy is lying awake
before reveille is sounded and hears
cock crow, it is accepted as sign OF
good luck, and his duty is done cheer
fully during the day. for he considers
he is safe not to get into trouble. II,
however, he should hear dog bark
before the summons to turn out Is
blown upon the bugle, it Is certain
sign of misfortune, and Tommy goes
about his duty during the day with a
vague sense of dread, and II he Is pun
ished for any neglect of duty or breach
of discipline, he puts 1t down to the
fact that somebody's wakeful terrier
barked before reveille. A soldier scion
of a long line of soldiers possessed
bent and battered button which had
been handed down to him from an an
cestor, Scots Fusilier guardsman who
had fought at Talavera and had been
struck by a spent bullet on that very
button. Succeeding generations of SOL
diers had carried that button about
with them, and it had acted as tails
man, for none of them had ever been
shot, though often in action. One car
ried it through the Crimean war, and
was in the hottest part of the battle of
Alma. but came through the campaign
without a scratch. In the cavalry
many men pin their faith to horses
tooth as talisman against injury In
battle, but it must be the tooth of a
horse which has gone uninjured
through action. A trooper of the Sew
tenteenth Lancers rode unscathed him
self through the charge of Ulundi. and
attributes his escape to the fact that
he had concealed about his person the
tooth of war horse which had sur
vived unhurt the charge of Balaklava.

Rahx KIIIad by Whiaky.

Peter Lafalc, of 100 West Houston
street bought half gallon of whisky
a few days ago and put it away in a
closet. His 4-year-old son, George
Washington, found it on Wednesday
night while his mother was busy, and,
filing a glass. handed it to his 2-year-
old sister Mary. who gulped down the
contents. George Washington poured
out another tumblerful, and Mary was
in the act of drinking this also when
her mother saw what was going on
and snatched the glass away. Mary
became unconscious little later A
neighboring physician prescribed for
her, but she did not regain conscious
ness and died.-New York Sun.

SpriRhtly Tempers-

Extremely volatile and sprightly
tempers seem inconsistent with any
great enjoyment. There is too much
time wasted in the mere transition
from one subject to another. There
seems to be no room for those deep
impressions which are made alone by
the duration of an idea, and are quite
requisite to any strong sensation either
of pleasure or pain. The bee to collect
honey, or the spider to gather poison,
must abide some time upon the weed
or flower Those whose fluids are mere
sal volatile seem rather cheerful than
happy men. The temper above de-
scribed is oftener an attribute of wits
than of persons of great abilities.

,I,,av and Gladstone.

An interesting anecdote is told of
the meeting of the late Evangelist
Moody and Mr.. Gladstone in England.
Mr.. Gladstone attended the Moody and
Sankey meetings, and was deeply i'm
pressed. Heartily grasping Mr.. Moody's
hand, the old statesman said to him:
81 wish 1 had your body" Mr.. Moody
Immediately replied: Il wish l had
your head" Mr. Gladstone respond
ed, 81 mean, 1 wish had your lungs"
