SPEND LITTLE ON LIVING.
Though Wealthy, Some Men COntrivc
to Exist on IA Mere PITT
tance.

Eight hundred miles east of the
coast of Peru is blazing desert where
rain never falls. It's very dryness
gives part of this great plain immense
value. for the soda deposits of nitrate
of soda have never been water-washed
and are of huge value. Twenty years
ago an Englishman called Howard
Webster invested over 100000 in a
great tract of this rich mineral land.
Then he settled down near the little
town of San Mario, in the mountains,
where he and his family live on the
fruit he grows on five acres of land.
Ten dollars a week cover their entire
expenses. His property on the coast
would fetch now ten times what he
gave for it, yet he neither sells it nor
works it. 1t is whispered that he is
waiting till he can dispose of it for
such a sum as will make each of his
children a millionaire, says the Chi
cago Chronicle,
knowing mis- son Matthias gambling
propensities, the late Baron Won Sit
lar, who made 81, 100000 in beet sugar
refining, very wisely left all his
money in the hands of trustees, who
were to pay Matthias the income half
yearly. The first weeks of January
and July in each year Matthias spends
in regal splendor, generally at Nome
Carlo. The rest of the time he lives
on borrowed money. But of late years
his friends have become tired of lend
ing, and professional money lenders
who know that he cannot touch his
capital, will have nothing more to dc
with him. At present this heir to
5000, 600 a year is living in back
street in Antwerp on less than five
dollars a week.
