HETTY GREEN'S SUCCESS.
She Does Not Believe in Speculat ton,
and Does Everything with
All Her Mind.

Hetty Green was recently induced
to talk to writer for Ladies' Home
Journal of her business methods that
have won her $50 100000 or more The
secret of her success is worth know
ing: Il don't believe in speculation
as a rule" she says, "and I don't
speculate as much as people think
When offered so many shares of stock
at so much l buy one share and then
send out to see what it will bring.
If it's a good advance l buy the rest.
If not, l don't. This was my plan
when I used to deal in horses. l
would get days option on horse,
and see what it would bring before
buying it. I attribute my success
chiefly to the rule of always buying
when everyone wants to sell, and sell
ing when everyone wants to buy.
There's price on everything I have.
When that price is offered I SELL l
never buy anything just to hold on to
it. Not much And I try to steer
clear of Wall street. Anyone who
hasn't a whole fortune to back his
deals had better do the same. I do
everything with all my mind. If there
is lawsuit on hand l 60 into every
detail of it with my lawyer. It's the
same with everything else"

THE AGULHAS CURRENT.
Cape Horn Extremely Di0cult
And Dangerous.

Going south, we find the Agulhas cur
rent, beloved of homeward-bound sail
ing ships round the Cape Of Good Hope,
pursuing its even, resistless course
around the southern horn OF Africa
changelessly throughout the years,
says the Spectator. How its stubborn
flow frets the stormy Southern sea!
No wonder that the early navigators
doubling the cape outward bound. and
fearing to 60 south, believed that some
unthinkable demon held sway over
those wild waves. The passage of Cape
Horn from east to west holds the bad
eminence to-day among seafarers of
being the most difficult in the world,
but what the outward passage around
the Cape of Storms must have been
before men learned that it was possible
to avoid the stream Of the Agulhas cur
rent by going few degrees south we
of these later days can only imagine.
What becomes Of the Agulhas current
when once it has poured its volume of
Indian ocean waters into the Atlantic?
Does it sink below the surface some
hundreds of fathoms and silently,
smoothly glide south to the confines of
the Antarctic ice barrier, or does it
wander northward into warmer re-
gions? In any case, it fulfills the one
grand function Of all currents, whether
of air or water-the avoidance of stag
nation, the circulation Of health among
the nations of the earth.

DANGER IN A FOX BITE.
An Ba6lish Baronsrs Son Was Bitten
and Died OF Blood Pot
s0ninG.

Blood poisoning frequently occurs
in cases Of wounds from the teeth or
claws Of animals, especially those that
feed wholly or in part on putrid flesh,
and it is easy to understand that, in
the cases of such species as eat only
game Of their own killing, there must
be traces OF their feasts, in the shape
of shreds of animal matter, left ad-
herring to their claws and teeth to
decay and become poisonous in time.
1t is for this reason that few meA
who have been "mauled"-as the Eng
lish express it-by lions or tigers ever
recover from their injuries. Arguing
along the same lines, it is possible
that the number Of deaths on record
from the bite Of the western skunk,
or "hydrophobia cat" may be trace
able to blood poisoning rather than
the rabies. The skunk seems to have
mania for biting people, but in this
respect he is not unique. The com
mon house rat where allowed to be-
come overbold from their numbers,
or toes of sleepers in dark rooms. But
rats are not wholly carnivorous by ma
ture and in consequence there is less
danger in their bites. The eldest son
of Sir Pryse Pryse-a fox-hunting
baronet of Cardiganshire, England
died recently from blood poisoning,
superinduced by the bite of captive
fox

DOWNING A COLORED BRUTE.
Aat0r Chanler's Common dAble Meth
cd Of Protecting a Girl from
InsOlent Conduct,

One day not long ago Representa-
tive William Aston Chanler was rid
ing in an open car on Broadway in
New York, says an exchange of that
city. In front of him sat young
and pretty girl. Into the seat with
her stepped burly negro, who soon
began to annoy her with his rude
stares. Chanler carried light cane.
With the cane he touched the negro
on the shoulder.
Don't do that" he remarked, in a
quiet but firm tone, and the negro
glared angrily at him. A moment
later the annoying attentions were re-
sumed. Once again Chanler touched
the negro with his cane.
Don't do that" he remarked. Il
really do not like it."
"And who the devil are your" said
the colored man, angrily.
Chanler laid his cane on the chair.
Then he arose, seized the negro by the
shoulder, threw him bodily into the
street while the. car was running at
high speed, settled back again in his
seat, lighted cigarette and smiled.

soifs LIFE m PORTO RICO.
S.rvaval ef the Fittest /. Houss Fur-
AisAing Follows Experience In
Unplsasant Features.

To one unaccustomed to tropical con-
ditions, the furnishing of the Porto
Rican home would at first sight seem
meager, but it is quite ample, says
Harper's Bazaar. A short residence will
demonstrate that nearly 500 years Of
experience with the unpleasant fea-
lures of life in the West Indies have
been crowned by survival of the fit
test in furnishing as in other matters.
Austrian brentwood furniture and
willow ware constitute the main equip
ment Of the parlors and living rooms.
Upholstered furniture is unknown and
undesired, little or no attempt being
made at decoration, except in the mat
ter Of embroidery and fine handmade
lace work. Hundreds of yards of cro-
chet work are used in the embellish-
ment of a single canopied bed. The
work is the chief delight of the Porto
Rican housewife.
The walls are for the most part bare,
but here and there painting Of merit
may be seen. The sofa pillow is one of
the great features of the home; it is
everywhere, in every conceivable size,
shape and material. Ferns of gigantic
size and exquisite formation, as well as
broad-spreading palm leaves, are used
to festoon the walls and arched door
ways. Cut fresh from day to day they
render the dark, cool rooms inviting
and attractive. Potted tropical plants
in great variety abound within and
without the house.

EXPENSIVE TARGET PRACTICE.
1t Costs Over $500 to Fire a Twelve
Inch Gun, and They Often
Miss the Mark.

A single big gun of the many now be-
Ing put in place for the protection of
seacoasts costs a large sum. Some in
teresting figures on this subject have
just been submitted, says the Scientific
American.
A 12-inch breech-loading rifle, with
its disappearing carriage, costs $141,-
900; a ten-inch breech-loader, $99,250.
and an eight-inch, $72,Or" The figures
show that modern high-powered guns
cost great sums, and the cost OF firing
them is proportionately large.
The report of experts who have in
spected these guns and the devices for
securing an accurate aim shows that
great saving is effected by modern
range-fnding and position-finding de-
vices.
''The demoralizing effect of hit a.
compared to MISS" said one of these
reports, "cannot be reduced to money
value but it costs big money to shoot
big gun and then miss the mark.
take, for example, the 12-inch gun.
To miss the mark is simply to throw
away s561.7O. With the ten-inch gun
the loss is $322.40, and with the eight
inch rifle it is $164.65."

PURPOSE IN ANIMALS.
alton with Which They SOms-
times Act.

An amusing incident. which shows
that animals are subject to feelings
very like those which occasionally ruff
f1e the bosoms OF men, occurred some
little time ago at the Jardin des Plantea
in Paris, says Youths Companion.
A large elephant, formerly the cen
ter Of attraction, found himself sup
planted in public favor by new arrival
"a young camel. The camel was the
latest acquisition, and very naturally
engaged the attention of visitors.
The elephant for long time showed
signs of dissa tisfaction, and at last its
jealousy reached point where it must
find expression. When the usual crowd
gathered about the camel, the elephant
prepared for action. 1t filled its trunk
with water, and with deliberate aim
discharged the water all over the peo-
pie who stood looking at the baby
camel.
This method Of throwing cold water
upon the admirers Of rival brought a
laugh even from it's victims.
Equally wise in making it's calcula-
tions was cat that chose a peculiar
spot for bed. Comfort was the cats
object, and the chosen spot did not
seem to be calculated to afford it. The
cat was found fast asleep in large
shipbuilding yard, lying on what
seemed to be very muddy path.
1t was found, however, that the spot
chosen by the cat for its couch was
the point at which lot of steam pipe
passed under the road, so that the mud
was baked into warm, dry clay, which
made not only clean but an artificially
heated sleeping place.
