PRICE OF CULTURE.
The Cultivated Man Has Formed the In.
tellectual Habit.

The venerable maxim that ''there is no
royal road to learning urgently needs
restatement in a form suited to republic
an conditions. When the proverb was
coined privileges were for kings today
they are for millionaires. 1t was then
necessary to lay stress on the fact that
there IS no common measure of culture
and rank; it must now be emphasized
that culture cannot be expressed in terms
of dollars.
A hundred years ago Oxford admitted
members of the nobility to her degrees
without compelling them to undergo the
tests imposed on others That particular
relic of aristocratic advantage has long
since been swept away, but the spirit of

slmony which thinks it possible to ac-
quire by money or by knowledge of af-
fairs that particular asset which can only
be gained by the laborious application of
years to special task. One may not
do everything. Each man must make his
choice. If he prefers the quiet pursuits
of Il student. he must not complain if he
hnds that his very name is unknown in
Wall street. If his chief ambition is for
career of business success, he must not
expect TO be able to exchange his repu-
tation at will for academic distinction
No one, then, who has become a mil
llonaire has the right to suppose that his
business success will be counted to him.

NOT HARD TO CARVE GLASS.
No Diamond Is Needed to Sever the Brit
tie Substance with Ease.

It often happens that glass tubes Of
various dimensions have to be cut where
a diamond is not at hand, as in shops
and power plants where oil and water
gauge tubes must be neatly fitted. The
usual method adopted is to file small
groove around the tube and separate
the glass with a sharp rap at the place
weakened by the file. The result is not
always satisfactory, because the ends
often break unevenly owing to the dill
Guilty Of making a straight groove with
the file. Better results are obtained
when only small incision is made with
a file, just enough to cut through the
enamel of the tube on one side, and not
all around. While the tube is still warm
from the friction of the fire the tube Is
taken between the thumbs and fore
fingers, the thumbs opposite the file in
cision, and the forehngers around the
tubing, close, but not covering the in
csion. Pressure Of the thumbs lnvarl-
ably causes the tube to break in as
straight and clean a line as though cut
with a diamond.
blade (the finer toothed the better for a
saw is only another form of fle), and
this should be kept fed with white
emery, carbOrundum or pulyeriZed silica
sand of hard grit, moistened with cam
phor, oil, turpentine or water.
A straight, steady and even stroke
should be made, and when the work is
carefully done against a gauge the cut
will be as true as though it had been
ground. Nor is even a toothed blade
necessary if a suitably hard and finely
gritted abrasive is used and regularly
fed between the glass and the fine wire,
watchspring or blunt but even blade of
an ordinary table knife. The latter will
be somewhat slow, of course, but fine
steel wire run at high speed like band
saw, if regularly fed with fine emery or
carborundum, will give very satisfactory
results, not only for cutting either
straight lines or curves in window, but
pfate or optical glass, in such thickness
as makes cutting with diamond diff
cult, precarious or impossible.
Window glass, especially single
strength, can be accurately split either
in straight or curved lines by first max
ing an incision through the enamel of
the glass, and then holding a hot iron
close to the incision till a fracture is
started. The fracture will follow the
hot iron with remarkable fidelity. The
iron should be preferably round and
somewhat blunt and with a bulky head
Qike an ordinary fire poker, so as to
retain its heat well for long cuts, espe-
cially for thick sheets, to keep the frac-
ture going when once started, even if
two heated irons have to be used.-Na-
tional Gas Budget.

Being ROck-Ballasted.

Gas Struck Near Paris.

The people of this city have reasons to
be enthusiastic over the news that a
strong flow of natural gas was struck
Saturday afternoon on the farm of
William Meteer, at Hutchison Station,
seven miles South of here. Mr.. Meteer
was drilling for water, and at depth of
seventy-hve feet struck limestone rock
twenty feet in thickness. When the drill
pierced this there was loud report and
the drill shot high in the air A negro
man engaged at the work detected the
smell of gas and lighted a match some
distance from the hole A flame shot
several feet high and he narrowly escaped
with his life. His clothing was almost
burned from his body and he received
severe burns. The jet of gas also caught
flre, the blaze leaping high into the air and
threatening Mr.. Meleer's residence,
which is only short distance away.
The drilling force, reinforced by neigh
oors, worked for hours piling earth about
the mouth of the well. After much work
an inch gas pipe was placed and secured
In the mouth of the we'll After this was
accomplished the blaze might have been
extinguished. but Mr.. Meteer feared that
the gas would accumulate in the low
lands in which his house and the we'll are
located and disastrous explosion might
result, On this account the gas was
allowed to burn, the blaze rising many
feet into the air and Illuminating the sur
rounding country all of Saturday night |
and is still burning at this writing At
first the blaze was as large as hogshead,
but after the pipe was secured it was re-
duced to diameter of a few inches.
This is the first time that gas has ever
been struck in Bourbon county, and it
cannot now be determined in what guam
titles the gas exists, or whether it can
ever be utilized for practical purposes,
but one thing is sure, if great gas res
ervoir underlies the county it means
nuch, not only to Paris, but to the whole
Bluegrass region.

Good Wholesale Trading.

Bradstreet's summary on the state
of trade says:
Good feeling, in some instances
closely approaching optimism, dom
mates the general trade situation, bu,
the undertone is withal one of con
servatism, and there is a general de
sire to avoid overtradiug.
Past reports of good wholesale
trade are reflected in an in
creased speeding of the wheels of in
dustry; but, except in portions of the
west and southwest, where cooler
weather has helped retail distribution
and in the south, where good prices
for cotton induce free marketing oi
the crop, there is a disposition tG re
port the weather as too warm for best
results in final distribution.
