RULES OF RICH MEN.
Some Queer Ideas Entertained by
Those Possessed of Large
Fortunes.

Several anecdotes of the careers OF
some of the holders of large fortunes
in the world have recently been pub
lished. From them poorer folk may
get a view OF some of the peculiarities
of these men and gather hints as to the
effects of enormous wealth upon their
lives.
The founder of the Vanderbilt prop
crty made this rule: ''Never buy any
thing you don't want, NOR sell any
thing you haven't got" which at once
barred out all stock gambling.
Another inflexible rule was never to
share his secrets with any other per-
son. II know nothing about him, %
once said his son. Il never knew from
him single one of his business meth
DDS. If he thought his overcoat had
found them out he would burn it."
His plan with regard to Young men
was, "Stick boy down anywhere. If
he is worth anything he'll earn his liv-
ing and save money. If he can't do that
he isn't worth saving!'
He was therefore pleased if his sons
Or grandsons entered into business to
learn it as ordinary boys learn, and thus
commenced to make their own way
upward.
a woman who is one of the richest
in America, refused to send her son
to school after he had learned to read
write and cipher, because more learn
ing than that binders a man from maxi
ing money"
Poorer folk are apt, when thinking
of the success and advantages the mil
Ionaires seem to possess over ordinary
people, to forget that a man can find
personal use and enjoyment in a very
limited income. His accumulations
over that which will give acceptable
food and raiment are simply weight
Of capital, to be handled with anxiety.
The care of it becomes trade, bust
ness, an occupation. seldom an enjoy
ment.
The man who is popularity supposed
to be one of the richest in the world,
i'll speaking of a neighbor, said: HE
is not worth q thousandth part of my
fortune: but his house is as comfort
able, he can eat as good :. food, his
health is better, and he can trust his
friends. / am not sure that have any
disinterested friends."-Youth's Com.

local parlance as mesa" 1t is two
or more miles long, and nearly 1900
feet high, and, after several visits to
the Zunis, 1 learned that this great
mesa was inseparably connected with
the mythology, religion, history, TO-
nance and tragedy of that simple
hearted people.
Here, long centuries before the
Spaniards came, they had established
religious and sacred shrines upon it's
SUBMITS. Here their maidens from
time immsmorial had come to petition
"Those Above" (as they called their
sods) to give them good. loving hus-
bands, and the young men preferred
their requests for home and child-lov-
Ing wives. When they rebelled against
the Spaniards and drove them from
their homes, and by and by feared the
vengeance Of the warlike white men,
they fed to the summit of this mesa,
fortified the almost inaccessible trail
and established their homes where
they felt they would be more secure.
But they were finally wheedled down,
and again submitted to the yoke of
Spain.
When Mexico freed herself from
Spain, the Zunis became subject to

worship.
Now I began my siege with Tsnehay
about the shrine 1 was so DESTROYS Of
finding. I asked him to take me to it.
"Me no sabe!" he replied.
"Nonsense!" cried. "You know well
enough where it is, and want to see
it before I go down."
NO! Me never see it," he answered,
and no amount of persuasion OF talk
could get any other answer from him.
At length, somewhat out of patience,
I declared: 81 know Unaikah has a
shrine up here and I'm going to find it.

Seeing that l was thoroughly deter
mined he held n long and private con-
sultation with the two young men, and
then announced that ''for considera-
ton" his son would take me to it, but
that he himself had spoken only the
truth when he said he did not know Of
it's existence.
Slowly we wended our way across the
mesa top. In the far-distant valley we
could see the Zuni pueblo. Suddenly,
on the very edge of frightful preci-
pice, the son stopped and said: Here

nothing. While my attention was thus
diverted the young man disappeared.
Where had he gone? Had he commit
ted suicide? I looked over the preci-
pice, but could neither see his falling
body nor his mangled remains at the
foot of the cliff. Where was he? While
was thus puzzling heard voice:
"You come!"
But where? Again I looked down,
and this time the young mans head ap.
peared from a recess in the face of the,
cliff, and, pointing to fringe of rock
that stood out a little way from the
dangerous precipice, he suggested that
l step upon that. I don't think I am
