Yachting and Others of working.

From the New York Press.
Merchants make it their business nova

For example. Mr.. j. Pierpont Morgan's
recreations are dog-fancying and yacht
ing. and he is one of the first to hear of
anything new 10 either line His friend
Arnold Morley deyotes all his spare time
to shooting, lishfng, stalking, cycling and
yachting. Another friend. Edward Eggle-
ston, who lives at Joshua s. Rock on
Lake George, gives up his leisure to
pedestrianism unambtious mountain
climbing, single-hand sailing, sculling and
collecting rare books and manuscripts re-
lating TO English and American culture
history. The shopkeepers and manufac-
turers, inventors and designers poster
these men nearly to death with letters and
circulars.
There are men who have no other recre-
alton than their daily routine. Joseph
Chamberlain, who will be great man
when England wipes the Beers off the
face of Africa, is one. He never had any
fun in his life except hard work. Presi-
dent Mckinley, ex-Speaker Reed, Secre-
tary Long. Henry Cabot Lodge, Senator
Hale. Ambassador Choate, Ambassador
Porter Senator Tom Plat, Senator Tel
ler Senator Morgan. John Morley, Sir

something About the Leading Ri

From the London Leader.
AT the head of all great ship~owning
companies of Great Britain stands the
British India Steam Navigation Company.
For some reason which I will not attempt
to explain, this great enterprise does not
loom nearly so largely in the public eye
as others of far less Importance. In the
East the "B. L." as it is CURLY designat-
cd is assessed at it's full value, for what
little out-of-the-way port along the coast
of Bussorah TO Mouknein is there where
the regular visit of the "B. l." boat Is
not looked for as confidently as is the re-
currence Of the days Of the week. OF
course. the nature of the trade precludes
the employment of vessels of such vast
size as. say. in the Atlantic trade, yet the
"B. J." run some big ships, too.
IL is, however, to the total of the fleet
