For n Young Man with Money.

If were young man with certain
amount OF capital and desirous to in
crease it at the expense of fools, |
should become dealer in pictures and
in works Of art. The prices paid at
auctions for such articles by few
dealers bidding against each other are
abused, although vast number OF
very wealthy fools who purchase them
from dealers are ready to pay still
higher The mere fact that some
article has been sold In an auction
room at n high price attracts theta,
and they buy 1t from the dealer at n
higher one In order to be able to poln!
to 1t in their houses and to tell their
friends how much 1t cost them. The
dealer consequently makes much
money by acting us middleman.
Whether there is any arrangement to
run up the price among dealers Go
not know, but l have always Won
dered whether this is the case and
whether the original owner always
gets the scll!ug price at the auction

The Way Hunter Got One and Why

Once, and only once, / caught a

West in Recreation. 1t was In July
In the Laurentians in little lake far
back in the forest covered hilis-loons

when they are very young and on a
perfectly calm day when you can see
them the instant they come up.
l followed the bird SO quickly that
was always near when 1t rose and by
shouting and brandishing the paddle
frightened it into diving before 1t had
regained its wind. At length 1t could
not dive more than foot or two be-
low the surface and then l caught It
in my hand. 1t was savage and sea-
sick in the canoe. The mother kept
near 1t from first to last, swan round
the canoe. calling most plaintlvely the

After dinner, while they were dane
ing. the earl sought Dorothy out in the
star sprinkled night, where she had
wandered to n hammock under the
trees, far from the chattering groups
on the ve.anda.
"I've been wondering who was be-

seriously, drawing in her breath deep

honest heart a-throb. He sat down OH
a stump of a tree close by. You're
plucky enough, | fancy

have. T. She faltercd, and under
the sweet, sudden spell of sympathy
her lips trembled piteously. The earl
leaned forward impulsively and gently
imprisoned one of her hands.

measured him, not understanding.

held out his hand to her like n knight

Dorothy tried to speak, but her lips
would not respond. Then she did a
curious thing. She took his outstretched
hand In her own and pressed it close
against her eyes, and they were wet.

Modern Card Playing,

of English society. We shall never
again see the days when General Scott
won a fortune of 100000 at whist,

high play, it must never be forgotten,
Is a relative term. When Lord Stavor-
dale gained ELL 900 by single coup at
hazard, his only comment was that If
he had been playing deep" he might

account the widest cxcesses ever wit
messed at the card table would have a

A Lesson From Henry Clay.

A we'll known southern politician
who died just before the civil war not
infrequently spoke of an incident that
took place in his first term in congress,
In which he received lesson In state
craft from the great Whig leader,
Henry Clay.

astic Whig," he said, land entered

serve my party and to distinguish my
self. l was on my feet shouting Mr.
Speaker" dozen times n day. 1 op-
posed even petty motions made by the
opposite party and bitterly denounced
every bill, however trivial, for which
it voted. Before the session was
half over had contrived to make my
self personally obnoxious to every
Democrat that met.
"One day after an Ill tempered out
turned and saw Mr.. Clay watching me
with twinkle in his eye.
"'C..' he said, you go fishing some

"'Yes.'
Don't you find that the best rod Is
the one that gives little at each joint?
1t does not snap and break at every
touch, but bends and shows its
strength only when n heavy weight is

Il caught his meaning. I had seen
him chatting familiarly with the very
men whom was berating. Yet

was the one man whom they feared.

and coolness. 1t is the strong flexible

Virtue which Commands Love.

that it is enough sometimes to be Il

typical anecdote proves this. Gomber-
vile, the old courtier, somewhat of a
poet, too, was known to be paying a
deal of attention to certain lady of
the hotel dc Rambouillet. One day
some one had this conversation with
him:

The Guinea Worm.

The famous guinea worm Is an In
habltant of the tropical regions of
Asia and Africa, existing in ponds,
rivers and swamps. 1t penetrates the
skin of any portion of the human body
without being felt and when once 1t
finds lodgment grows to an enormous
length. The body of the creature sell
dom exceeds in diameter that of
large pin, and 1t inhabts the flesh Just
beneath the skin When full grown it
Is not less than twelve feet in length
and in order to accommodate itself
must wind several times around the
legs or body. Should the guinea worm
find home under the human cuticle
and grow to n large size there Is dam
ger of modification setting in when
the parasite bursts, rs it is sure to do
sooner or later. In order to guard
against an accident Of this character
great care is exercised in extracting
the unwelcome intruder. The skin Is
opened near one end Of the creature
and the body pulled out and wrapped
around a small round stick. This stick
Is turned very slowly for days, or even
weeks, until tho entire worm has been
extracted.

1t Is IN Greenland that the hunting
ability of the Eskimo reaches its high
est development He has a fine me-
chanical skill Bones, ivory, stones, a
little driftwood, skins and the sinew
of the reindeer are the materials from
which he must make his boat and
weapons. There is nothing else Says
a Greenland traveller: "Of these the
Eskimo builds canoe, its frame Of
bones and driftwood. its covering Of
translucent sealskin sewed together
with sinew. This kayak is decked over,
except for hole in the middle framed
with wooden ring. The Eskimo
wriggles into this hole, his legs extend.
ed into the fore part of the boat
Round his waist there Is cylinder
of sealskin, the lower edge of which
draws over the wooden ring and Is
pulled tight with thong, making all
water tight to the armplts. For heavy
weather the cylinder is part of n skin

hood to the face and cuffs to the
wrists. while pair of long sleevcd
mitts protect the hands and arms.

cranky that only about two-thirds of

four Danes in all Greenland have
dared use a kayak"
