Burden Of Wealth.
om the Nashville American.

From the Nashville American.
Doubtless there is a certain sort Of hap
piness in making money. in being success
full in business, and there are many who
take more pleasure in making, in accumu-
lating money than In its possession. Doubt
less, also, that inherited wealth tends to
destroy ambition, personal energy and that
spirit of activity calculated to develop the
best that is in man. The man who is born
rich and who has no need to labor for liv
ing should find unending pleasure In the
imroyement of his mind; in wandering
amid the delights Of the field of literature
or of art or of science; In travel and OBJ
seryation of this mighty world and its
changing wonders: IN entertaining friends
way: in dispensing thoughtful charity and
benefactions: in laboring, An the many ways
offered for the improvement of man. of the
home of government; ip-oh, well, there
are SO many ways man or woman OF
healthy mind and Inherited wealth might
attain happiness 1t Iseexns absurd to sug-
eest at random any of the methods through
soul NAV be achieved The man Of wealth
who lives in, with and for his money, who
thinks only of himself or his immediate
family lives a narrow mean and selfish
life and wealth can hardly give him any
more satisfaction than It can give a mon
key, a prize pig or pet dog. The posses
sion of wealth imparts obligations which
alty imposed by, the law of compensation.
Wealth, inherited or acquired. should be a
stimulus to the noblest ambition to the
nearest approach to unselfishuess, to eff
forts to add to the sum total of human hap
piness and to the dissipation of ignorance.

venturous monarch Ferdinand VII, when
he rode his favorite horse to the top Of
the tower of Seville Cathedral This, how
ever was a less hazardous performance
than that of the Dane, for there Is a fairly
wide inclined pathway which climbs the
tower. although to the spectators 1t seemed
impossible that the king could ever emerge
from the venture alive. There ts an ac-
count of a feat of horsema nship which
seems more wonderful than either of those
described. II is stated In the records that
in the year 1900 a man rode to the top OF
St. Pauls on his horse Morocco. to the

the Imagination of it's chronicler, II Is prob
able that the ascent was made by a stair
case which may have been a feature of old
st. Paul's.
Almost equally wonderful are the feats
recorded of a pair of thoroughbred Arabian
horses. the property of Prof. Holloway of
Wyoming. These horses have been trained
by their owner to make dives of seventy
feet and more into a lake. "At a signal
one of them starts up an incline at quick
walk until he reaches a platform seventy
five feet above the lake below. The pro-
fessor is standing on the shore and as the
horse looks down from the platform he
the horse, without a seconds hesitation,
leaps from his pinnacle and, flashing
through the air. disappears In a cloud Of
spray. from which he quickly energies and
swims briskly ashore"
1t Is doubtful whether any horseman,
however daring and expert, can excel the
skill of some Cossacks. When riding at
full gallop they will pick up child from
the ground, toss 1t high In the air, and

FALLING SUPPLY OF TURTLE.
Tax Imposed on Fishermen by Nicara-

ers who like green turtle soup. The Mos
quito coast, off Central America, Is the
green turtle fishing ground of the world,
relatively the same as Newfoundland bears
to codfshing. The trade is almost entirely
in the hands of the Cayman fishermen.
Fast little boats run from the turtle fish
ing grounds to Kingston. Jamaica, and
other ports close to it, whence the turtles
are shipped to New York and to all parts
Of the world.
Dealers here have noticed lately that
the turtle shipments have been falling on
and were at loss to account for 1t. Now
we learn that the Nicaraguan government
which controls the Mosquito fishing grounds
has imposed tax on turtle fishing that
amounts almost to prohibition. The tax
has been in force more than month, but
there seems to have been some difficulty
in collecting it. The Cayman fishermen
resent interference with an industry they
have followed without hindrance for more
than 100 years. Now we hear that Nicara-
qua threatens to send a gunboat to the
turtle fishing grounds to enforce the tax.
This news comes to us from sailors on West
Indian STEAMBOATS, anu III ieteere from Iner-
chants in Kingston interested in the tur-
tie trade.
AN average-sized turtle Is worth from
$50 to $50 in the New York market. The
soup is retailed at an average price of 50 a
quart Under the new tax, II 1t is enforced,
we may reasonably expect that this price
will be doubled The Kingston merchants
claim that their trade Is already sufficiently
handicapped by the great mortality In the
turtles taken for export trade. Sometimes

will survive the long voyage.

She had lived. she said, in the particular

the native idolatry was bound up with

had known cases of healing worked by
those natives who professed to cast OUT
evil spirits. She was convinced that they

She went on to give instances OF exor-

Chinese had for a long time obtained COM

mediums and of planchettes the latter
were formed from sieve with pencil
attached to one side. Two persons placed
their hands on the sieve, and the pencil
would then write messages. She had her
self known of one instance In which great
f1ood was accurately fOretold by a PLAN

about the planchette was that II only

Dogs of War.
rom the Army and Navy Journal

From the Army ana Navy Journal.
Instructions have been issued to the
jaeger or rifle troops of the German army
in relation to the use of war dogs. The
principal work in which they are to be
employed is scouting and patroling, the
transmission of intelligence from outposts
and the maintaining of communication be-
tween sentries and the posts to which they
are attached The breed most suitable
for the service is the Airedale terrier, but.
at the same time, and until further orders
are received, the Huhnerhund, a rough
haired German dog, Is to be tried. 1t is
recommended that only pure-bred animals
of known origin and good qualities be en-
ployed. Diligence is to be exercised in train
Ing them to carry messages from outposts
and return. and to be vigilant In attracting
the attention of the sentrfes when stran-
gers approach. Each company is to have
at least two well-trained dogs. and the
number of animals attached to battalion
will not exceed twelve.

ROOSEVELT AND THE MONEY

Following in the footsteps Of the New

the Eastern papers which, IN contradls-
tiuctlou to the yellow journals, claim ic
belong to the conservative class, are now
making n combined assault upon Presi-
dent Roosevelt and bis administration,
Various schemes are being resorted to
for the purpose of undermining the
presidents standing and influence, which
up to the present time have been so re.
-putable and powerful among rich and
poor alike.
The president Is made out to be a man
who has recanted his principles, gone
back on his friends who put him in Of

which there Is no returning or stopping
This venture involves the laws, the court
decisions and the trusts. Congress gave
the attorney general a half million
dollars for the legal warfare and equip
ped him with brand new law 10 ex.

according to these Eastern papers, and

they will expose themselves to the ac'
cusations Of Populsts, Democrats and
labor leaders, who will hold them up to
the contempt of The nation as men faith

pie.
This assault now roaring 80 loud a.

ton doubtless will increase In violence
