Mere Money Getting.

Money getting is no new passion.
From the beginning nineteen-twen-
tieths of our American population have
had no other mastering purpose than
to make money. They have been bread
winners, fortune getters. by the lines
of least resistance, without dreams of
success in the professions or in the arts
or in patriotic politics.
But there have also been up to re-
cent years remnant, select few, a
company Of enlightened and gifted
people, who have put ideals ahead Of
money getting.
There was Agassiz, who refused to
lecture at $500 night because he was
too busy to make money. Charles Sum-
ner declined to lecture at any price be-
cause, he said, as senator all his time
belonged to Massachusetts, Spurgeon
refused to come to America to deliver
fifty lectures at $1,000 a night, saying
he could do better; he could stay in
London and try to save fifty souls.
Emerson steadfastly declined to in
crease his income beyond $1,000 be-
cause he wanted his time to think

The Literary Chap In Finance.


81 know literary chap, good writer
and all that, but with absolutely no
business sense, who suddenly decided
the thing for him to do was to start a
bank account" said the secretary of
financial institution. "He came in to
see me about it. / asked him how
much he had, and he said he had saved
$50. 1 told him we rarely started ac-
counts on such small deposits, but
would make an exception in his case
to encourage thrift and school him in
business.
HE went through the preliminaries
nervously, signed the signature card,
put his money in and got nice new
bank book. By that time he was all
fustered. They gave him n check book,
and he decided he would have to have
some money for present use. The re-
ceiving teller introduced him to the
paying teller, and he inquired the
procedure of checking out money. The
paying teller explained at length. Then
my literary friend went over to the
desk and wrote a check for his entire
$50, got the money and went out"

Where They Were Appreciated.


The government has with great lib
erality distributed public documents
from Washington to the remotest parts
Of the country. In his book on 1.-THE
Overland Stage to California" Mr.
Franklin Root tells how the overload
ed mails were sometimes relieved.
Before the daily mail went into oper-
alton and when stage went to Salt
Lake City only once a week some of
the boys on the line used to despise a
coach almost wholly loaded up with
public documents, but such mail mat
ter came quite handy at times.
Occasionally the drivers, as they
themselves said, would get stalled go
ing through bad slough in rough
weather and would be unable to move.
In that case they were obliged to take
out sack after sack Of the pub. docs" 4"
open the bags and pile the massive
books from the government printing
Office into the slough and by building
a solid foundation with them were en-
abled to pull the coach out of the mire.

EXerGreena.

The leaves of green plant are chief
ly useful as feeding organs, which util-
lie sunlight in building up plant sub
stance from water, carbonic acid gas
and simple salts. Deciduous forms and
evergreens have been evolved on diff
ferent lines as regards foliage.
On the approach of autumn the for
mer withdraw all nutritious substances
into their trunks anG branches. A layer
of cork is then developed across the
base of each leaf which afterward
falls off, leaving neatly covered scar,
which excludes air and germs.
These changes do not take place in
evergreens, for these possess tough,
leathery leaves capable of resisting
frost, which are shed gradually all the
year round as they become old and ef-
fete. Such plants use sunlight year
out, year in, while deciduous trees and
shrubs do during the warm season
only, though they work very vigorous
ly in summer, getting ready the buds
which open the next spring and stor-
ing up starch and the like to serve as
food till the new leaves are unfolded
and ready for work.

A ROYAL BOOK BUYER.
The Purchase of Diderot's Librar
nv Catherine IL of Rus.ia

The Purchase of Diderot's Library
by Catherine II. of Russia.
Empress Catherine II. of Russia was
a great reader and a lover of books
One of her services to letters in Russia
was the purchase of the libraries of
Voltaire and Diderot. She was a warm
friend and admirer of these French
philosophers, and their work interested
her because she was eager to learn new
theories of politics and government
Voltaire's library of about 1000 vol
umes is now part of the Russian i'm
perial library in the Hermitage palace
and in the hall devoted to it is Hou
dons statue of Voltaire.
The story of GATHERINGS purchase O,
Diderot's library is interesting. 1t il
creditable to her tact and her generos
ity. Diderot named f15,000 as the
price of his library. Catherine IL of
fered him f16,000 and named as a con
dition of the bargain that her purchas.
should remain with Diderot until hi,
death. Thus Diderot, without leaving
Paris, became GATHERINGS librarian il
his own library. AS her librarian ht
was given a yearly salary of E. 900.
One year this salary was nL paid
Then Catherine wrote to her librarian
that she could not have him or her Ii
brary suffer through the negligence o:
a treasurer's clerk and that she should
send him the sum that she had SET
aside for the care and increase of her
library for fifty years. At the end OF
that period she would make new ar
rangements. A check for f25,000 ac
companied this letter.

On the Wrong Tack.

A young man in New York was deep
ly impressed with the beauties of Free
masonry and after considerable effort,
mental and otherwise, had fitted him
self for the ceremony of initiation into
the order. He had heard of the goat"
and the "gridiron" and many other
things connected with the first degree
and was prepared to be surprised at
nothing. In the course of his first even
ing at the lodge he stepped on tack,
which stuck into his foot and gave him
considerable pain. He said nothing
and made no effort to remove it, pain
full though it was. Two hours later,
when 1t seemed to him that there was
nothing more to come in the way of
initiation, he asked if he might take
the tack out of his foot. His sufferings
were not ameliorated when he was
told that the tack had nothing to do
with the ceremonies.-New York Post.

The old Jevt.h weddine Rinr.

The old time Jewish wedding ring
was quite ponderous affair of filigree
gold, enameled in colors. A dome or
temple in miniature, which rose from
the middle of the hoop, was favorite
device. Sometimes the hoop was about
quarters of an inch wide and had
raised edges.
One ring Of this kind is described by
an authority as having five elevations
on the upper part, the center hex
agonal tower, with penthouse roof slop-
ing down to the hoop, the gables and
sides pierced with fourteen holes, or
windows, and the roof scored to imi-
tate tiles. On either side of this was a
smaller tower without windows. No
other ring could find room on a wom-
ans finger besides this.

His Estimate of Frouae.

Hannis Taylor, in his argument be-
fore the Alaskan boundary commits
sion, told a story of Edward A Free
man, the English historian, whom he
knew well. On one occasion, when
dining with him at hotel in st. Louis,
Mr.. Taylor innocently asked him, 'Mr.
Freeman, what is your estimate Of
Froude as a historian.f" Said Mr.. Tay-
lor: "He looked at me in a strange kind
of way, and then he replied: I will
tell you what think about Froude. If
ever you read anything he writes read
it with care. Read it over and over
again and fix it in your mind so that
you will never forget>it. for then you
will know one thing for certain, and
that is that by no possibility dir II
ever happen in that way"

Dog and Cat.

The effect of a dog on a cats tail is
well worth study. When cat encoun-
ters a strange dog the tail Immediately
assumes an upright position, the back
becomes highly arched, and the fur
stands out straight all over the body,
This sudden change dismays the dog
who brings himself to a halt, and the
two regard each other steadfastly.
But if the dog should turn his gaze
away for fraction of SECOND there is
a swish and a bound, and the cat has
disappeared over a fence or up a tree.
Stimulated by the presence Of dog,
cats have been known to climb to such
heights that they were unable to de-
scend the way they went up.

SOCIETY IN IRELAND.
a Person IL Judged There Entirely
UpOn HIS Merits

A Person IL Judged There Entirely
Upon HIS Merits.
An English scribe gives delightful
picture Of Irish society, in which, she
says, there are mo millionaires and no
nouveaux riches" Titles there are in
plenty, but position counts for moth
ing unless the persons in question are
good sorts" in themselves. Whereas
In England one is tolerated principally
for ones wealth, in Scotland for ones
birth, in ireland it would appear one
is judged entirely on ones merits.
'The average Irish household differs
from the English, in being less stiff,
more amusing and more hospitable.
Possibly the wall paper may be a
trifle moldy from damp and the stair
carpets not altogether innocent of
holes, while your bedroom jug and
basin may not match, but these are
counterbalanced by priceless old prints
superb bits of old silver and all the
fun Of the fair 1t is more anus
Ireland than in England. There is no
ceremony, but of hearty, sincere well
come there is no end. There is no anx-
iety about an Irish party amalgamat-
ing, for guests are all drawn into the
family circle, whereas an English par
ty does not thaw out until the visit is
nearly over and often only shows signs
of exhilaration when the hour of de-
parture arrives. 1t is mistake" con-
cludes the critic, "for the Saxon to
start plans for the improving of Ire
land. The Irish standard of morality
puts English society to the blush"

He Wnn Not Laconic.

John Morley in his life of Gladstone
tells the story of the statesman's ex-
animation for admission to Oxford uni
versity when he was a youth. The ex-
amincr. having utterly failed to floor
the candidate OH some point of the
ology. said. 1--WE will now leave that
part of the subject" mo, SIR" replied
the candidate; ''if you please, we will
not leave it yet" and proceeded to pour
forth fresh stream. The dean in Mr..
Gladstoue's day was Gaisford, famous
among other things for his trenchant
brevity. This laconic gift" observes
Mr.. Morley slyly, "the dean evidently
had not time to transmit to all Of his
flock"

A DOG OF UTILITY.
The Pointers Evolution From the
bloodhound Tyne

Bloodhound Type.
The evolution Of the pointer from
what may be described as the blood
hound type to the modern English
foxhound kind has taken, perhaps,
close on $50 years. He is essentially,
above all others, dog of utility, and
as the pointer has always been looked
upon as one of the chief helpmates of
the man who loves to take his pleasure
behind well broken brace of dogs, a
pair of barrels and straight powder, it
stands to reason that that man has
called in all his ingenuity and all his
knowledge Of breeding to provide him
self with a sporting dog that is best
adapted for the sport that is provided
for him. Therefore in some places in
America, where the plains are so vast,
a very fast and wide ranging pointer
is required-one, too, with bird sense"
Where true ranging, a good nose and
stanchness on game are to be found
embodied In one single dog, there, per-
haps, have we found the perfect ami
NAL, and retrieving pointer at that.
AS in other breeds Of dogs, there are
all sizes and sorts of pointers. The
short headed, cloddy shouldered and
often weak thighed and cow hooked
pointer has gone by the board 1t
stands to reason that, although the
cart horse can gallop, he cannot ,gallop
with the thoroughbred, the clean neck
ed, oblique shouldered, deep hammed,
live racing machine. Half day of
real going will knock up the heavy
headed, loose throated pointer. He has
had to give way to the more elegant
quantity; but even such as he should
not be too small.-Illustrated Sporting
News

Transparent Salt.

Some remarkable salt formations
are found extending for thirty miles
along the Virginia river in Nevada.
The salt forms mountains of crystal
and is so pure and clear that fine print
can be read through foot of it. This
region was evidently once occupied by
a great salt lake, as close by are some
wonderful wells, one of which, seven
ty-flve feet in diameter, contains wa
ter so intensely saline that person
bathing there will float like cork

The Red Lobster.

The question is often asked, says the
Lancet, without a satisfactory answer
being supplied, Why do Holsters and
certain shrimps and prawns turn red
OF boiling? One reason may be that
the black pigment of the lobster is an
iron compound in the lower state of
oxidation, which boiling oxidizes to
the higher state. Red human hair is
said to owe its brilhance to iron exist
ing in the higher oxidized state. and
by means of reducing agents, such as
pyrogallic acid or nutgall, the color
may be modified. In short, oxygen is
a great painter and probably accounts
for the beautiful autumnal tints Of
plant life.

BROWN ARMY SURPRISED
The Blues Make an Early Morn
ing Attack Upon the Brown
Army.

Fort Riley, Kan, Oct. 30.-Just be-
fore daylight to-day the Blue army,
commanded by Colonel Augur, made
sudden attack upon the Brown
army, under Lieutenant Colonel
Wheeler. While the officers Of the
brown army had no Information that.
they We're to be attacked, they We're
on their guard against such an at
tempt by the blues. Their outposts
were alert and the alarm was quickly
given to, the main body. There was
confusion and uproar in the brown
camp and it was some little time be-
fore the troops were able to fight back
effectively. Colonel Anger had the
advantage of the higher ground at the
opening of the fight, but the brown
army fought back strongly and in a
very short time had entirely recov-
cred from their surprise. II & 2a
The fight continued until daylight,
enabling the umpires to observe the:
relative positions held by the two
forces, when hostilities ceased and the
troops returned to Camp Sanger.
Tomorrow the troops will for the
most part, leave for their respective
posts. Some of them will march
overland, but the majority go by rail.
