MEN READ FAIRY TALES.
Find Rest ana Recreation I'm Perus-
ing the Same Stories That De-
hight Their Children.

"It is surprising how many books OF
fairytales such as the Arabian. Nights
Entertainments, 'Grimm's,' Hans
Andersen's,' and others of that class
are sold at present to what there were
two years ago." said large bookseller
in Chicago few days ago to a Tribune
man. What Is more, the buyers are
not women and children, but business
men. When the demand began to
grow for this class Of literature, I
thought that the men were buying
them for their wives and families, but
now know different. They read them
themselves, and think that 1t would
be safe to say, that In large percent
age of offices occupied by lawyers and
other professional men you would find
books of this class. How do account
for 1t? Well, I could hardly tell you.
My opinion is that at the present time
business Me has got to be such rush
and turmoil, owing to the great compe-
tition, that men find they are in danger
of suffering from brain fag.'
"From early morning until late at
night all through the week they are
in their offices or else rushing around
under great mental strain. Night
hardly brings any rest. as there are
problems to be thought out when they
get home, and see that physicians say
that insomnia is increasing to an
alarming extent. Even on Sunday
meE don't stay at home and rest as
they used TO, and casual exploration

centage OF the occupants downtown

"The result Is that the brain has
no rest at all. the few minutes snatched
In which TO read newspaper being
work to great extent, owing to the
vast amount of knowledge of the
worlds doings that is required for a
successful business career at the pres
tent day. Such being the case, some
thing of recreative nature In the
way of mental food Is absolutely neces-
eary. This used to be supplied, by hc-
tional works, but that is now impoe-
sible. The time IN which to read Is
only minute or two at odd intervals,
and as a result 1t is impossible to try
and mentally digest a lengthy story.
This has called forth a demand for
short stories. and the less thought they
require the better they are liked.
Fairy tales I'LL the bin exactly, and
men whom you would never imagine
as being interested in such frivolities
buy the books with eagerness."

The gun guarding the harbor in
New York is the largest In the
world. 1t is ton and q half heavier
than any other gun in existence and
will throw shell weighing 1850
pounds, while the weight of the pow
der required for each charge Is 1900
pounds. 1t is said to carry 16 miles,
and every time 1t is fired means an
expenditure of $1,000, and it can be
fircd once in every two minutes. The
cost of making was more than $l25,-
o0o-the total expense, including it's
armament and placing 1t In the har-
Dor, amounting to 100000. The gun
is so large that a man could crawl

Value of ConsuIships.

are many factory chimneys. Do not
try for the fashionable capitals. Leave
them for the ambassadors. Go where
the air is murky. for there business is
lively. and many a consignment is sent
to the United States. This means fees
and fees mean q good income for the
consul"
In the course of his chat the con-
gresham made the general statement
that consuls who are making the most
money from fees are the Quietest, most
unassuming, accomplishing employees
of the government. They do not SET
|. up claims for salary instead of fees
he said. "Oh, no; but like the wise
boy where the raspberries are thick
they let the world forget, so far as pos
sible,' that they are on earth. Let
consular office be changed from the rec
to the salary system, and 1t at once
becomes alluring to voracious LOT OIL
aspirants. Some one finds out per
haps that the political support OF TINS
particular consul is weak, and then IN
fuence Is used, and soon there Is
