THE TYRANT INCOME"
An English Lady On the Secret of FL
nancial Happiness.

nancial Happiness.
For several numbers past Of the
Cornhi!l Magazine ins ruction has
been given in the art Of liv ng on in
comes ranging from ELS to 10000 a
year, and now the whole matter Is
summed up by the Hon. Mrs. Anstru-
ther under the ti,le Of The Tyrant
Income"
The truth Is this" she says. The
secret of financial happiness lies in
your own personal attitude toward
your Income. If you treat 1t as a
friend. on whose ganerCsi you may
rely to hep you in time Of need, then
will you be doomed to disappoint-
ment. for few incomes have great
sOuls-they are mean and shrinking
things. incapable of heroic expansion!
But II. from the first instant that you
and it foregather, you treat 1t as your
natural enemy, then msy your life be
a happy one. Conquer it or 1t will as
suredly conquer you, and become your
tyrant- Yet on'y In one way can 1t
be hurnbled and brought low, and
happy Is the man wlo discovers the
way to this early In his career Keep
It hidden. for pub lefty is to 1t the
breath OF life, and one the g'are Of
publicity falls upon this unlovely
Galatea 1t will rise up and merciless-
ly Will 1t trample you and your most
precious possession-your independ-
ence. Therefore hide 1t. Never let
your nearest or your Arrest suspect
Its real height. or bread or length,
or power. Keep 1t as secret as you
would the knowledge of some
hideous crime; guard it from the pub
'ic gaze IS you would the most appall-
ing skeleton that ever sat in family
cupboard! Should searching Ques-
tons be put to you anent Its size, do
not hes ta.e to lie right royalty in
your responses. Swear 1t Is but a
small, weak thing. worthy of no con-
siderats on. incapable of sustained ef-
fort. and thus by your cunning words
force 1t to sit cowr ng In the dark
ness OF private life. not daring to as
sert itself or to tyranniZe over you

CollAPsing and Exploding Boilers.

There is good deal of inaccuracy
In the popular talk about boilers blow
ing up or exploding" said an old boi-
lermaker, discussing the wreck of the
City Of Trenton. IF too much pres
sure is exerted on the interior of a
boiler which is weak in any part. the
weak part will give and the boiler will
collapse. If anybody is standing near
1t at the time he runs the risk of being
fatally scalded by the steam, but the
boiler stays just where it was and
nothing is wrecked but the boiler. This
is what sometimes happens to kitchen
boilers, which never can. in the true
sense. blow up or explode. But when
the boiler is equally strong in every
part and steam is generated so sud-
denly that it has no chance to escape
through the safety valve real ex D
sion occurs, the boiler Is torn rr q
its fastenings and tears through the
air like tremendous cannon ball.
Such an explosion is attended by
general wreck OF everything in the
path OF the boiler and usually bv hor.

N.P.F2EIGAT DEPOT BURNED

Fire early Sunday morning de-
stroyed the freight depot of the North
ern Pacific r. R. located Oh Winter
street, West End
The fire was discovered at 4:30 and
10 less than two hours the large build
ing With its contents, was a mass of
ruins, with a total loss of about S12 900
which is covered by insurance. The
fire was supposed to have been caused
by the crossing of electric light wires
The fire department was called includ-
ing the company from the East End
but by the time the hose was laid the
fire was well under way bursting out
through the roof and making its ap-
pearance in other places. The fire
company worked hard and when it
seemed as though the building was
under control and could be saved its
hopes were dashed by the explosion of
a couple of barn els Of kerosene which
had been standing on the platform
The bursting of these barrels started
the fire anew and if there were any
hopes after that of saving the build
ing the Great Northern train settled
Them. The train came along, cut and
ran over three line of hose cutting off
the water from the fire at the time it
was most needed. The building was
all ablaZe by this time and when the
new hose was laid it was too late to
save the building and it burnt rapidly
until it was entirely consumed. q.
The depot will be replaced by new
one at an early date. Mr. Jackson
has lost no time but has started the
erection of temporary quarters, oppo-
site the union depot. platform will
be erected and roof put over it max
ing temporary freight shed. Three
box cars will be utilized as Offices for
the agent and bis employees. One car
will be reserved for the telegraph
operators and the telephone. It is
estimated that it will take at least
two months to rebuild the freigh,
house and in the meantime the cars
