Requires foundation. That is Just as
true of the building up of the body as of
the building of house. The founda-
ton of a strong body is a strong stom-
ach. No man can be stronger than his
stomach. A weak stomach means a
weak man.

Nature or to science-by digested and

as fitting reward for his loyalty.

HIS LIFE WORK DONE
Herbert Spencer, Greatest Philoso-
pher of Our Generation.
Has been Poorly Paid for His Unri-
vailed Contributions to the Worlds
Hest Thought - His Deep
Love of Truth.

Herbert Spencer, whose name will
live in the world of thought as that
of one of the nineteenth century's
greatest thinkers, has recently passed
mis- eighty-first birthday. After life
time of self-sacrifice and privations,
the great philosopher finds himself
at the threshold of the grave almost
as poor in worldly possessions as
when he started the career that has
brought him SO much fame, but so
little pecuniary recognition. There is
something almost pathetic in the life
work of man like Herbert Spencer.
The son of schoolmaster, Mr.. Spen-
Ger was educated very largely at
home by his father, though he also
went to school at Bath, England,
the headmaster of which was his
uncle. From 1882 to 1876 he piled the
profession of civil engineer, and for
five years later acted as subeditor of
the London Economist before he
turned to the work with which his
name will always be identified.
1t is as a popular philosopher that
Herbert Spencer seems to hold his
reputation, and yet one must read
the account of his self-sacrifce and
privation before one can realize the
tremendous battle which the best
known philosopher of this century
found any readers at all. "Social
Statics," certainly a rather unhandy
book, took IA years to SELL although
the edition ran only to $50 copies.
The principles of Psychology" with
a first edition of 750 copies, did not

PROFITS FROM WASTE.
Financial Gain of big City from
the Gathering of Tr!Ges in
Public Buildings

Very few people know what be-
comes of the waste which they scat
ter over the floors of the city hall or
throw heedlessly into the baskets of
that mighty pile, says the Philadel-
phia Record. Yet the city makes
from $500 to 5000 and 500 on this
waste every year. The cleaning of
the building has been intrusted to the
public buildings commission and to
the chief of the bureau of city prop
erty, the former having charge of the
corridors, the latter dominating over
the $50 odd rooms in the edifice.
Each, in turn, employs a large force
of sweepers.
On each floor are four receptacles,
with great bronze doorways, situated
in the supporting walls and opening
into a shaft that runs from the roof
to the basement, where it enters a
large room called the waste basket"
These rooms are cleaned out twice
week, and their contents carted
away-all except the paper, which is
always separated from the other
waste matter and sold.
In amount of rubbish the, city COM
missioners hold first place, the sur
vey bureau second, the council cham
bers third and the buildings commits
sion fourth. From them come speci-
fications, ballots, old correspondence
drawings and iron, copper and tin
waste, which all sell at good prices.
All the profits from this source are
turned over by the various heads to
the city treasurer,
