spurred our idol on until there were no
more honors for him to reap. Had he
remained an old bachelor he might
have invented a double-ended rat-trap
or a double barrelled cockroach exter-
minator. but that would have been the
end of it.
We now come down to the case of @.
Hope Jones, the man who stands before
you. 1t is without egotism that
bring myself forward, as I use my case
simply to illustrate. Five years ago
was a lazy shiftless, unaspiring young
man. About the only aim L mad was
to be elected constable of my village
Even my own father became so dis
couraged over my case that he would
no longer buy my beer and tobacco.
Then a sudden change came. I fell
in love- 1t is not necessary to give the
name of the girl. but love acted like
magic in my case. In a week l was a.
work in cornfield. In a month 1 was
leader in politics. In year l was
preparing to set out on lecture tour,
and reached the highest notch, and here
l am l didn't marry the girl I loved.
as she was unfortunately bitten by
rattlesnake. but 1 fell In love WITH am
other, and still a third, and today am
in love with the fourth. It's an orig
inal idea of my own. and once l can
recommend. If you want to climb up,
you can't love too often nor too many.
And now. in drawing to close, let
me recapitulate- Ambition Is sood TOT
80 cents on the dollar. but love is
worth an even 100 Perseverance is a
furnace to get up steam. but love is
the fuel to supply it. Integrity is a
good thing to brag about as long as
you don't get caught at it, but there
are no weak spots in the armor of love.
If not in love, go out and take
tumble. Love we'll Love as hard as
you can. When once started, keep it
on the Jump like a scared rabbit And
incidentally. ] would observe that the
fare to the next town in which I lee
ture is SO cents, and unless there Is
liberal contribution on the part of this
audience I don't see how l am to get
there. Some of you may not think
have given you 95 cents worth, but any
one who will follow my advice and go
and fall head-over- heels in love will
feel conscience stricken that he didn't
empty his wallet into my hat.

PARAFFIN VENEER.
To Preserve Sandstone of the Phila-
delphia Bourse.

To save the red stone on the exterior
of the bourse from crumbling into fine
powder it is being coated with paraffin.
In other words, to prevent further in
roads of a process of disintegration
which threatened to ruin the most inn
posing part of the big hall of trade,
it's face is being massaged, enameled
and given new complexion. Streams
of hot Vapor are first turned upon the
red stone. This opens the grain, or the
pores. Then the boiling paraffin is
spread over its surface, and when this
dries the stone becomes of a maroon
hue instead of its former red.
Workmen began the task of massag-
ing and enameling the 4th street front
of the building yesterday. They have
big platforms swinging out from the
structure far up from the pavement,
and on these are anchored little char
coal engine with which they heat their
vapor and the paraffin. They do their
work rapidly, for it is said that every
storm and change an atmosphAtc~ con-
ditions brings new cracks into the red
stone. To veneer all the affected stone
with the paraffin VIII be extremely
costly, but it was accepted as the only
way to save the handsomeSt portion OF
the s., 900, 900 structure from decay.
The stone. which was brought from
Virginia. extends upward for three
stories on the building and for some
time past it has been gradually crum-
pillars and ornamental frieze have be-
come Clipped in many places, and from
soft, discolored spots and dust has been
continually shed Frequently these par
ticles have descended 50 thickly as TO
almost blind persons entering.
Recently an expert made an exam
ination of the stone and reported that
if il was left exposed to the elements
the bourse's exterior would be ruined IN
a few years. OF course, this would in
no way endanger the stability of the
building itself, as in these days the
stone on skyscrapper is only an orna-
mental carving set in the steel frame
which is the real support of the struc-
ture. Every stone might drop out or
the exterior shell of the bourse and the
building itself would still stand.
His advice was accepted. and it viii
not be long now before all the red stone
has waxy cover. making 1t imperv-
ious to all sorts of weather The bourse,
as far as is known, is the only building
in this city treated in this way SO far,
but the oreration to which it is being
subjected is similar to that adopted in
order to prevent the destruction of the
tall Egyptian obelisk now standing IN
Central Park. New York.
1t was found that the change from
the Egyptian climate to that of New
York caused the surface of the ODE
lisk to crack and scale and that the
hieroglyphic Inscriptions upon 1T were
being obliterated. The obelisk is paraf-
fined every year. but the bourse VIII
