The Advantage Of Wealth.

This is the great advantage of
wealth. 1t is not that it gives you
the opportunity of leading more
luxurious and self indulgent life; it
is not that you can have fine house
and garden, books and pictures,
travel and society, but it is that you
have it in your power to help others,
to lift them over hard places and
to give them the substantial encour-
agements that are so useful. But
this power does not reside merely in
the possession of money; it also goes
with good health, a cheerful dispo-
sition, knowledge, Skill. or any ad-
vantage that you have over those
less favored. All these things are
trusts, and we make the noblest and
most satisfying use Of them when
we use them as trusts, not for our
selves, but to promote the welfare
of others.

Wanted Democratic Ward.

A Philadelphia recently had occa-
sion to visit the chief physician Of the
asylum of the insane at Columbus, o. J.,
and was shown through the institution
by the physician and the superinten.
dent, who told him many interesting
anecdotes about the various inmates,
says the Philadelphia Times. One,
an Irishman, from Steubenville, that
state, had been brought to the Asylum
at time when it was filed almost to
its capacity; and the superintendent,
turning to one of the physicians, had
asked:
Doctor, what ward would we bet
ter put this new man into?'
The Irishman, recognizing that he
was the man referred to, spoke up and
said:
"Indade, an I car're little whas

THE SKIN OF A SEAL.
Operations Which II Undcrgoes to Dc.
velop the Fur.

operations (which 1t undcrgoea to De-
veloP the Fur.
If we look at lady's sealskin
jacket, we at once observe its rich
brown color and the velvety softness
and densepess Of the fine hairs COM
posing it.
If this be compared with the
coarse, hard or dry salted skin or,
still better, with the coat of the liv-
ing fur seals, one is struck with the
vast difference between them and
wonders how the coarse, oily look
ing, close pressed hair of the live
animal can ever be transformed into
the rich and costly garment above
spoken of.
Passing our fingers among the
hairs of the cat or dog, we may no
tice fine short hairs at the roots Of
the longer, coarser general covering
of the animal. This is so called un-
der fur. But in the greater num-
ber of animals the short hairs are
so few and often 80 fine as to be,
comparatively speaking, lost sight
of among what to our eyes consti-
tute the coat.
The remarkable feature. then, in
the fur seals is its abundance and
density. The operation which the
skin undergoes to bring out, SO to
say, the fur may be briefly described
as follows:
The skin after being washed free
Of grease, ETC., is laid fiat on the
stretch, flesh side up. A fiat knife
is then passed across the flesh SUBJ
stance, thinning it to a very consid-
erable extent. In doing this the
blade sewers The roots Of the long,
strong hairs, which penetrate the
skin deeper than does the soft, deli
cate ones under the fur. Thefrough
hairs are then got rid Of, while the
fur retains its hold.
A. variety Of subsidiary manipu-
lations in which the pelt is softened
and preserved is next gone through.

Uses for sl.ooo,oOO.

Seated with some congenial cronies
in cool corner of roof garden the
other night, was James Connor Roach,
actor, playwright, wit and raconteur.
They had been discussing wealth and
what it meant to be man Of millions,
when Roach said:
Snow how many of us here tonight
know what 81, 100000 really means2
How many people in general know?
Some think of million as q check
for that amount signed by Geo. Gould,
and indorsed by Russell Sage. Others
picture great heaps of gold.
"When hear poor chaps like US
speaking Of millions I think of the
story Of three Of my countrymen who
were digging sewer in Kensington.
"They had shovels with very short
handles, and the dirt had to be thrown
higher the deeper they dug, SO the
longer they worked the more energy
had to be expended.
"One noon hour, they were seated
along the fence, eating dinner, when

Romance In the Life Of Princess

There is a royal love story, which
is very human and very tender, Of
which very few persons know any
thing. When Princess Beatrice was
quite young girl, Eugene Louis jean
Joseph, who was son Of Emperor
Louis Napoleon, came to Windsor,
and the two fell instantly in love with
each other. For months they kept
the secret, but the day came when
their affection was discovered. Then
fates proved very unkind.
The engagement was broken off,
and the Prince Imperial went away,
filled with despair. With sorrow in
his heart he went out to the Zulu var,
where, sf.e. ash.;Hg With dared devil
desperation, he was unhappily killed
On june /, 1879, and nation mourn
ed his loss. The Princess, who loved
him, was heartbroken, and with her
own hand she placed wreath Of por-
celain upon his oofin.
II want il to last like my love for
him."
These were her only words. And
she went away sorrowing.
The two women love each other, and
when Eugene dies Princess Beatrice
will inherit ell the fortune which
would have been given to the dead
Prince, whom King Edward declared
had "lived the most spotless OF lives
aud died soldiers death"

Slow as q Wink.

We very often hear persons say
"quick as wink" when they wish to
express time that is very short. There
is no wonder that we use the compari.
SOD, for wink has been measured,
and it has been carefully ascertained
that the time consumed in the opera.
tion is four tenths Of second in the
average individual-that is, two
twenty-fifths Of second are consum-
ed in closing the eye, four twenty.
fifths in opening it again.
Wiuks come close to us, for we
make them and see them every day.
and :hsTs Is nothing with which we
are really familiar that impfesses ua
as consuming so little time; yet, sup.
posing we should talk to light and
electricity about "quick as wink, y
they would laugh at US; that is, if
they could understand us, and knew
how to laugh, for, when we start our
wink, if light should start to dart
around the world it would make three
circuits of the globe and be back in
time to see the wink completed. 1t
considers wink too slow for any use.
Electricity looks with yet greater
scorn on the quickness Of wink, for
while the eye-lid is closing it can
girdle the earth once, go around twice
more while it is resting and make the
fifth circuit by the time it is open.

Borers In Fruit Trees

Though other trees are not entirely
exempt, the peach. ounce and apple
are the three fruit trees which suffer
the most from the borer. All sorts
OF ways to get ahead Of this pest have
been discussed for fifty to one hun
dred years, the wrapping Of tarred
or greasy paper about the trunk, the
applying Of peculiar washes TO it, the
use of wire netting and other plans,
and il seems the consensus Of opinion
to-day that no more satisfactory way
can be named than the going through
the orchard twice year, in June and
September, and destroying what Dor.
ers may be found. The egg from
which the borer is hatched is de posit-
ed outside the tree, an inch or so
under ground, generally, and there is
where the grub from it enters the tree,
and is where it must be looked
for. II search be made in June, il
any are discovered they will be but
barely in the tree, and narrow blad-
cd knife or stiff piece Of wire will
reach and detach them. The same
process should be performed in Sep
tember, to catch any grubs which may
have entered since June. This work
takes no more time than any other
plan would demand, and there is then
q certainty that no damage is being
done the trees.

TO Capture Recruits.

The navy department. is drumming
up the entire country for sailors. New
ships are building which will have to
be manned, for war ship without q
crew is only junk for the purpose it
is intended to serve. When the gla.
NOR of war was over the country
young and old men sprang from every
where like dragons teeth to serve
either in army or navy. But now
that peace has settled over the land
and the breath Of prosperity is sweep
ing from ocean to ocean, the youths
are not 80 earger to don the garb Of
Uncle Sam. The navy is in worse
plight than the army can ever be.
Several hundred Of the enlisted men
of the army received commissions, but
one of the heroes of the Merrimao was
the only young fellow in the navy to
be sent to Annapolis, and his age and
other considerations were in his favor.
