blue water. dreamily watching the pri-

more of billionaires as they passed
up and down four or five miles off
shore. She heaved a long. tremulous
sigh as she thought of the hardships
that the poorer classes were forced to
endure.
"Alas!" she said, thinking aloud.

improbable, since the sons of our rich

variably means the uniting of two
fortunes.

MIR. cARxEcrE,s EprTAPH.

Mr. Andrew Carnegie recently pre-
scented 60 the Stevens Institute Of Tech
nology Hoboken. y. j., q laboratory of
engineering, constructed at "a cost of
SOS 900. The other evening the Stew
ems Institute formally took oyer the
completed premises. and Mr., Carnegie
was present to deliver the keys to the
faculty. There was a collation. and
some speech making. Mr.. Carnegie de-
liVered an im2romptu address, in the
course of which he dwelt upon the inn
port ance of chronological education,
and incidentally suggested an epitaph
for himself. The epitaph is as follows:
Here lies a man who knew how
to get around him a great many
men who were much cleVerer than
he was himself.
BY way of illustrating. Mr.. Carne-
gle told how he had once paid high
price for an ore with a name" that
contained a lower percentage Of iron
than a certain ore without a name, ;"
and how he had discovered his error
and made money by using the ore
without a name" through the employ
ing of chemist to anslyze the ores
and ascertain which was the better.
Up to that time no chemist had been
employed in connection with blast
furnace. Now every furnace has Its
corps Of chemists.
In an address delivered some days
ago Mr.. Carnegie asserted that il was
the man who did the thinking and in
duced others to work for him that
achieved the greatest success. He
therefore advised a liberal indulgence
in thinking. In his "epitaph' and the
have probably the key of Andrew
Carnegie's success. He had the ca
pacity to think, clearly and logically;
to think for the future and plan to
meet it. He was not himself equipped
to meet all Of the conditions that arose
or that he foresaw. He lacked tech
nical education. But he had the moth
er-wit to know what was wanted, and
the tact to get around him men who
were much cleverer than himself" He
continued to do the thinking. and in
duced those whom he had thus drawn
around him to do the work His first
chemists were made in Germany,
because there were none made in
America al that time. He did not hes
itate to cross the ocean for the talent
he desired, and his enterprise paid
him large dividends. Now he is using
a portion of his vast fortune to put
American young men in the way of
acquiring chronological educations, and
Is advising them to think as well as
work.

Englishmen Camping Out.

In a Pullman car on one of the
Southern's handsome trains a passen-
ger, rising betimes, slipped cautiously
back to the smoker to dress. confident
of being the first occupant of a berth
to get up, says the New York Press.
In the last section a strange spectacle
OF two English travellers cooking their
breakfast greeted him. They had a gem
of an oil stove done up in metal kit
covered with leather to represent a
Gladstone bag, ~ it was in operation
on the rear seat, cooking tea, toast and
tin of roast beef. The men had every
appearance of being rich and sensible.
They were fairly buried beneath a pile
of golf. shooting, fishing and riding
parapEernalia, and Aiken was their
destination. II was evident that they
were unaccustomed to American dining
cars, else they surely would not have
undertaken to prepare their own break
fast in a Pullman. Being in wild Amer
lea they thought they were camping

Very few can equal the Chinese in
patience and cheerfulness in unpleas-
ant circumstances, and Lii Hung Chang
in this gift stands first, writes Gilbert
Reid in the Forum. At the same time
he was a man of strong passion. He
would denounce his attendants, rage at
any who opposed him, blurt out con-
temptuous remarks to inferior rivals,
and hurl anathemas at those who diff
fered. 1t was hard for self-respecN to
endure his contempt and anger And
yet his greatest fits of passion had a
humorous side, and in consequence
could be gently overlooked. In his last
years one could feel that his disposition
was mellowing. and could admire aim
fer his self mastery.
AS an outcome of his peculiar tenn
permanent he became a champion tease.
Some times his teasing was tinctured
with small spice of spite, but more
generally it was made palatable by the
essence of real good humor. He loved
joke, but still more loved to joke
others. Pleasantly was a relief to him.
To poke fun" was his evening recrea-
ton after the performance of arduous
duties. Even serious deliberations were
Facilitated by laughter. Probably no
other Chinese official shows this trait
of humor and sarcasm to as large a de-
gree. Dignity is the more usual char
acteristic. Chinese have more humor
than foreigners suppose. but teasing is
seldom INDUCED in by those high in
rank In fact, it would generally he
regarded as unbecoming: even with
such a'great man as Lii Hung Chang
many found an inclination to resent it.
To appreciate it plaeidly one needed a
long acquaintance and an easy attitude
of give and take.
Not only was he champion tease,
but first-class quiz. Those who came
to interview him found, on leaving,
that they themselves had been inter-
viewed. His familiarity through 40
years with persons of all classes and
countries made it natural for him to
ask questions. His pseudonym might
we'll be an interrogation point. Many
of his questions seemed to a stranger
childish or perhaps disrespectful, but
through them all might be seen an in
curing mind eager for knowledge. He
was especially keen on knowing how
much money a man had or had made.
1t seemed to him as practical a theme
as any. Cash is the common talk of all
China; and Ii Hung Chang was eager
to discuss with others their way of
getting fortune, as ne himself was
eager to possess one and to make. the
wisest investments. Ones age was al
ways inquired into, as it generally is
by all Chinese. In addition, he would
ask If his visitor, whether gentleman
or lady, was married, and il not, why
not. Seeing that all respectable Chi
nese are married, he esteemed mar
riage an honorable theme for discus
sion, as also an honorable custom, to
observe His queries soon showed there
was method on his madness of quiz
zing. 1t he granted an interview, he
proposed to compensate himself by
gaining light upon some points This
was his purpose, even when fiattered
by persons who asked to be allowed an
interview because of his greatness.

. GREAT UNDERTAKING.

Some of the authorities of New York
are exercising themselves in the effort
to make the people sit down, and to
prevent them from standing in public
halls and conveyances. In New York
city there is Interpretation law
which provides that the aisles and 9TH
er places in theaters shall not be block
ed by persons standing. The law APP
plies also to all places Of public gath
ering. such as schools, churches. dance
halls and the like. as we'll as to the
alters. AS yet, however. there has been
no movement to enforce the law else
where than at the theaters, but the fire
commissioner announces that it is his
purpose to see that the law is COM
piled with everywhere. And upon the
heel of this effort to prevent standing
in the theaters comes the announce
ment OF a bill in the state Legislature
to force street railway companies TO
provide fourteen-inch seat for every
passenger or forfeit the right to collect
fare from all passengers not provided
with seats.
1t is easy enough to understand the
mo standing" order as applied to the
alters. In case of a fire alarm or panic.
crowded aisles and entrances would be
a serious menace to a theater audi
ence, as was demonstrated in a most
shocking catastrophe in a Brooklyn
theater some years ago. Nevertheless
probably every theater in New York
has made arrangements for a standing
audience in addition to those persons
who purchase seats. Yn about all of
the playhouses space has been left in
the rear of the seats for ISLANDERS, and
the managers never hesitate to sell
admissions" when those who buy
must necessarily be crowded into the
aisles. The managers are looking for
the dollars, and sell tickets as long as
there are purchasers. They go on the
old omnibus rule that there is always
room for one more. Cutting off the
privilege of selling standing room will
mean considerable financial loss to the
theatrical managers. 1t is estimated
that il will deprive the METROPOLITAN
Opera House alone of $780, year
in revenues, and various other thea
ters of from $4,000 to $4,000 a year
That, of course, viii be hardship to
the managers. but the question OF pub
lie safety ought TO outweigh any finan-
cial consideration.
How the mo seat, no fare" street
railroad law is to be made effective Is
not apparent. The crowding OF street
cars during the rush hours is some
thing that cannot be prevented very
well by the companies. unless the pros
pective passengers should be actually
beaten back with clubs. The building
of the new subway in New York was
made necessary by the inability OF the
surface roads to accommodate the
number OF passengers offering. Street
cars are now run as close together and
as fast as the law will permit, and they
cannot haul the crowds. Nor is the
inability to meet every rush with sufii-
Client facilities to give everybody a seat
peculiar to New York. II is to be
found in all cities. There are, no doubt
many improvements that might be
made in street railway service. but to
make a hard-and-fast law that every
fare must command a seat would be
apt to work as great hardshlps upon
the public ~ on the railway companies.
