infirm,'' and there is a commentary on
the ironic whims of circumstances in
the fact that since that time three nun
dred thousand dollars have been paid
out in benefits.
In that first year seven merchants
were aided at an expenditure of thir-
teen hundred dollars, while in the year
just passed DIRTY three benefciaries
were on the roll and $4,000 were dis
bursed. Comparison Of these figures
might afford matter for interesting
speculation. Is the merchant of to-day
more reckless than he of half century
ago, or is it that the number of mer-
chants has increased, and, therefore, of
course, the number of unsuccessful
merchants.
More than four hundred thousand
dollars are now in the invested fund Of
the organization, and it is almost con-
stantly receiving accretions, so that
there is plenty left wherewith to pro-
vide for unfortunate plutocrats of the
future, if the supply of unfortunate
plutocrats holds out.

So it is a good time for the Coal Strike

the operators 1873, besides called by the
Commission. 1t remains to hear the ar

five and one-half days, and will be
made this week.

Union club, and the popping of corks
and discussion about the liquor situa-
ton are continually heard where for
merly such things were rigidly exclud-
ed. The drink-mixers of Washington
formed the club for mutual benefit"
and when the organization was casting
about for quarters some facetious
member suggested that the drink-cure
building was vacant and probably
could be secured. This was done, and
the bartenders have carried the irony
of fate further by permitting the old
temperance sign to stand above the en-
trance to their club. They affect to see
rare humor in this placarding of their
club as 1.-THE Anti-Drink Institute"

ADVICE FROM SADT.


OF the distinguished authors of Per-
STA none perhaps has enjoyed wider
popularity than Sadi, who lived in the
thirteenth century. He was a great
traveller and a. close observer, and his
anecdotes and short stories are de-
scribed as being founded on his own
experiences and observations. In Per
sian Poetry For English Readers" Mr.
S. Robinson quotes the following from
Sadi's writings:
A Pupil said to his instructor, What
am to do, for people incommode me
with the frequency of their visits to
such degree that their conservation
produces a great distraction of my val
liable timer"
The teacher replied: ITO every one
who is poor lend and from every one
who is rich borrow. They will not
come about you again.
Another example embodies excellent
advice: A silly fellow, having pain
in his eyes, went to farrier and asked
him for remedy. The farrier applied
to his eyes something which he would
have given to an animal, and it blind
ed him, upon which they made an APP
peal to the magistrate. The magistrate
said:
This is no case for damages. 1t is
plain that this fellow is an ass or he
would not have gone to a farrier."
No man of enlightened understanding
will commit weighty matters to one of
mean abilities.

MORE TROUBLE IN CHINA.

Testimony that trouble is brewing in
China increases. G. J. Kavanaugh, O.
newspaper correspondent who has been
stationed. for some time in the southern
provinces Of China, has just arrived in
San Francisco, and he reports that the
natives of South China are making ac-
and, profiting by the failure of the Box
err troubles in the north, have shown
more shrewdness in their preliminary
arrangements. Canton, up the river
from Hong Kong, appears to be the
center of activity, and the foreigners
are made daily aware of the serious
trend of affairs. According to Mr..
Kavanaugh, arms are being secretly
landed in China by filibustering expe-
ditions, in which Americans, Germans
and English figure prominently. The
identity of those who have undertaken
this work or who are prominent in it's
execution is, of course, hard to deter
mine, but high Chinese officials, as we'll

in the country, are aware that adven-
turous citizens of the three great pow

NO Va r. For HON ER.

Andrew Carnegie is a very rich man,
and he apparently favors literature. At
least he gives much money with which
to buy many books. But he has his
prejudices in literary matters. For in
stance, at the inauguration of Alexan-
der Crombie Humphreys as president
Of Stevens Institute of Technology the
other day he spoke as follows: There's
one thing that I'd like to say, though,
and that is that I coincide with the
speaker who remarked that the techni-
cal school is not the only institution of
learning that can be improved. 7 be-
lieve that there's just as big a field
for improvement in the university.
think for one thing that it would be a
very good thing for the universities to
Danish the antique heroes upon which
they have been feeding their students
for centuries. 1t might have been very
well in past ages to Defy such scoun-
drels as figure in Homer, but that time
has now passed. There have been
enough heroes and heroines in this
country to write about and perpetuate
without filling the minds of students
with extravaganza tales of mythical
pagans."
The spectacle of Andrew Carnegie
| despising and rejecting Homer is an
interesting and improving one. If he
were not Scotch we might perhaps be
permitted to see him dispose of the
| Bible as he has of Homer.

HELPS MEN WHO LOSE RICHES.
The Peculiar Province of a Quiet Phil
adelpfia Charity.

The Peculiar Province of Quiet Phil
adelphia Charity.
More than a century and half ago
Alexander Pope wrote of Humble AL
len," who with conscious shame, did
good by stealth, and blushed to find it
fame" Modern bards could not easily
find inspiration in such a theme.
Humble ALIENS are not many nova
days. Charity has become an institu-
ton, and, like murder, it will out. Phi
lanthropists are sorely distressed to
avoid publicity for their benefactions
and one cannot endow a refuge for or
phans or INDECENT cats without noisy
flourish from the housetops.
1t is curious and somewhat startling,
then, to find that right here in Philadel-
phia has existed for nearly fifty years,
without the knowledge of more than a
few persons, an association of men de-
voted to q unique and unostentatious
well-doing. Public ignorance Of their
enterprise is all the more remarkable
from the fact that among these men are
some of the wealthiest, most influential
and best known citizens in the commu-
nifty Included in the membership list
are such names as Jay Cooke, N. Paf-
ker Shortridge, Lincoln Godfrey, Joel
J. Baily, Justus c. Strawbridge, Isaac
II. Clothier, John H. Converse, Richard
Wood and others of equal standing.
But it is the unusual character of
their beneficence that attracts interest.
All these men are wealthy-some be-
yond the dreams of avarice--but their
purpose has nothing to do with the
amelioration of the condition of the
pauper. On the contrary, theirs is a So
ciety for the rescue of the decayed mil
lionaire.
They call it the Merchants Fund as
cociation, and the forty-ninth annual
meeting was held the other day in a
little old room in South Fourth street,
away from the clamors of the more pre-
tentious virtues.
In a word, the plan of these kindly
old gentlemen is to relieve once veal
thy companions Of their early days,
who have since lost their fortunes or in
other ways suffered the vicissitudes OF
time.
The act of incorporation, dated 1854,
says that the object is "to furnish relief

and especially those who are aged and

According to the Electric World and
Engineer, Professor Edmund O'Neill,
of the chemistry department of the
University of California, declares that
he can produce potassium cyanide from
the atmosphere at less than half it's
present cost. If he succeeds this will
reduce the heavy cost of treating gold
ore. Using simple apparatus, gas of
petroleum or coal is mingled with the
atmosphere, which is four-fifths nitro
gen. Subject to the influence of an
electric arc, the resultant is hydrocy-
anic acid. This, when treated with
potash, rapidly yields potassium cya-
hide. The cost of materials is small
and the requisite energy to produce the
combination is also inexpensive. The
process of producing potassium cyanide
Is. it is said now so expensive that
more than 100000 is spent annually
on imports of the chemical. Its use is
sosgeneral that besides the amount i'm
ported eighteen factories in this coun-
try turn out large amounts of it yearly.
Professor O'Neil says he can produce
it for five cents a pound. Under old
methods it costs twenty-five cents a
pound.
