ON HOW TO eEr ~,cn.

Since some OF our very rich mcn
have taken to public discourse upon
all sorts OF matters their utterances
have somewhat diminished their repu
.ation for infallible wisdom. II has
been discovered that q man may pos
sess great wealth and still fail OF
complete mastery of the science OF
government or the principles Of 20
litical economy. Nay. II II evident
that such q man may not even prove
. reliable guide to the inquirer wha
seeks for the road to wealth.
One Of. the most didactic C our
vivacious millionaires has recent'g de
ciared that riches are within the
reach OF every man who wishes to be
rich. He asserts that there are but
two requisites for the scquisition OF
wealth-moderate Intelligence and un
limited industry. Gwen these. he de
clares that any ian can get rich.
Which is. OF course, entirely false
and misleaciry. even though 1t comes
from a gentleman who has piled up
great wealth and is now engaged in
piling 10 Tee libraries. Everyone
knows ;hat Intelligence and industry
are not the sole essentials to the ac-
quistt.Jn of riches. Everyone knows
Of men highly intelligent and thor
pughly Industrious who can scarcely
h.sske living.
II Is true that intelligence and In
dus.ry are qualities favorable to the
attainment of wealth, but 1t is not
true that the possession OF those
qualities. even in the highest degree
constitute any assurance of riches.
The money-making faculty is a
thing apart from other natural endow-
ments. An ignorant. illiterate man
who possesses ii will get rich. and
intellectual genius without 1t will re-
main poor all his life. Like gift for
music. 1t can be cultivated, but it can
not be acquired.
The sayings of our loQuacious mil
lionaires, like the aphorisms in the
copybooks. will not always bear analy-
sis. In the present instance the fal-
sity OF the proposition is evident to
everybody. since a vast majority OF
the people, though they are intelligent
and hard working. never acquire SO
much as a modest competence. let
alone wealth.-Chicago Record-Her.

Get four boards about one inch
thick, nine inches wide and three

inches longer than the others to leave
ends sticking out at top and bottom
by which you can fasten the house
to the tree trunk. Now nail the
boards together to make square tube,
but first cutting OIL the front board
to leave an opening four inches wide

the box and roof on the top. Next,
In the top of the front make hole

All that is left to do is to make a
drawer to fit tightly into the opening

PHILIPPINE HOMES

cothran & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

The market was rather peculiar. This was due as much to absence of business as to the factors at work.
 Had we good supply. of cotton in New York and plenty of contracts to do busi- ness there is little doubt but that prices would work off more as the movement is heavy and dry goods reports are far from good.
 But every time any one comes in and buys a few thousand bales, up goes the market and so when sellers throw cotton over, away goes the price. Under the circumstances 1t is hard to know just what to do Thus far there is no induce ment to play the short side. We need more cotton for this. But prices have had a sharp rise and we could easily have A setback towards 101zc.
 This would be the place to begin buy ing. There is not going to be a running break as long as the frost question re- mains unsettled. There is no need of be- ing afraid to buy on good break But towads Il cents we would take a cautious position and look for a spot to get in on.
 Wheat-London wheat opened ssc up. and Paris was Sc up. but Liverpool did not respond to our advance of yester- day, their market closing only hc higher. this caused a somewhat lower opening here, with shorts good buyers.
 Later in the session, the market took
