WORDS Of WTsDo ON;

A mere madness It to live like a
wretch that he may die rich.-Burton.
There is no ghost s difficult to lay as
the ghost of an injury. Alexander

He who increases the endearments OF
life increases at the same time the ter

Cheerfulness is not always sponta'

The desire Of knowledge, like the
thirst Of riches, increases ever with the
ACQUISITION of it.-Charles Hodge.
Any one can do his best, but the
trouble with most Of us Is that our best

WINDOW SHADE HOLDER.

An Ohio man has devised an entirely
new idea in Stockholders, an Illus
tration of which we show here. His
holder has quite a few advantages in
that it can be changed to fit any ordi-
nary window frame without destroy
ing its future usefulness in case or
change of residence with change in
size of window frame. The body OF
this holder is made of a bar divided
in the centre, the two parts being
adjustably attached to Il grooved hinge
by means of thumbscrews passed
through slots in the hinge plates. On
one side of the slots are projecting
teeth or a roughened surface to pre-
vent the bar from slipping by undue
pressure. On the ends of the bars
are pivoted metal heads, having rough
ened surfaces, which bear against the
window frame when the holder is in
place. Projecting from the ends of the
bars are adjustable journals, to hold
the shade rollers and are held in place
and regulated by thumbscrews. To
put the holder in place in the window
frame, the bars are first adjusted so
as to tighten it in the window frame.
Then the heads are placed in the corn
ers of the frame by holding the bars
with both hands. By pressing up
ward the holder is Immediately sprung
firmly in place. Next the journal
bearings for the shade roller are ad-

IN HONOR OF FRANKLIN.

When the two hundredth anniver-
sary Of the birth Of Benjamin Frank
lin is celebrated, on January II, 1905,
the kindly regard in which the memory
of the first American Minister to
France is held in Paris will be shown
by the dedication of a bronze statue
Of Franklin, given to the city by John
II. Harjes, at present the resident
member in Paris Of the firm of Nor
gan. Harjes 4 Co. The statue is. by
John j. Boyle. 1t will be a replica of
the one in front Of the Philadelphia
Postofice and will be placed in the
small ~grass-eovered plot in the Rue
Franklin, near the Place du Troca-
dero and just in front Of the Trocadero
Palace, which has been given fer that
purpose by the Municipal Council Of
Paris. The pedestal will differ from

Incentives to Marriage.

Apparently the German town Oh
Heaschmann does not believe in a state
of single blessedness. Annual prizes
are offered to the men who wee IN!
ugliest, the most deformed and the old
est women in the town. Sixteen
pounds is paid to the mar who marries
the ugliest, while but twelve POUNDS Is
the reward for the n marrying the
cripple. All women over forty VINO
have been Tilted at least twice BRING
their spouses sums which vary accord
ing to the state of the fund. which was

The average price paid is ten pounds TO

forth a special inducement to procure
the marriage Of some particularly un'
desirable woman.

What He Did to "Hamlet."

A group of actors at the Players
Club were once engaged in a discus
sion as to the ability and impartiality
Of certain professional critics Of the
drama, when the late Maurice Barry
more referred to a certain Denver jour-
nalist who was widely known for his
dramatic criticisms. "Hayward," said
Mr.. Barrymore. was certainly N OF
the ablest of them. He wrote most
learnedly, with the heenest analysis
of every phase Of the actors art, and,
above all, with no little wit. [ am
Just reminded of what was. perhaps,
the briefest dramatic criticism ever
penned. 1t will probably outlive every
thing else Hayward did. 1t ran about
as follows:

Model Tenements.

No account Of model tenements
would. be complete without the state
ment of the remarkable fact that they
not only offer the advantages outlined.
rent as cheaply as they do, and are
run as beneficently as if they were
d philanthropy. but that they also pay
annually four per cent. on the invest
ment, as a cold business proposition.
1t is not a theory that is being expert
mented with; the experimental stage
has long since been passed. 1t is an
accomplished fact. Ever since the ten
ements We're built, each half year two
per cent. dividends have gone regularly
to stockholders of record. The invest
ment is paradoxically a business ana
a philanthropy at once. Thus it comes
about that the $1,00o,O00 gift of Henry
Phipps, the steel %Inagnate, if put into
operation according to the best plans

pany of New York, as it undoubtedly
will be, will net $4,000 a year-it IS

C~arlyle's Opinion of Musicians.

When Joseph Joachim, the amous
violinist, visited this country in the 7es
he was taken by a friend to Carlyles
house in Chelsea and introduced as 81
well-known musician. Pleading an
engagement elsewhere, the friend then
left, and Carlyle, who was just then
starting for his morning constitutional,
begged the violinist to accompany him,
which he did.
During our long walk in HYDE
Park" said Joachim, when relating
the story to his biographer, Andreas
Moser, THE Sage of Chelsea poured
forth a stream of conversation about
Germany, the King Of Prussia, Bis
marck, Moltke, the war. etc. At last
I thought 1 ought to say something, an@
innocently asked the irascible gentle
man if he knew Sterndale Bennett
the famous English composer.

PhotoyraphIng Insects in Flight.

it was her turn to laugh, and she did
so right heartily.

The conversation might have lasted
a long time, for the Indian acted as if
he were interested in the chatter of
the little one, whose questions and OBJ

| than answer questions, some Of which
were of a most puzzling character.
Suddenly the voice Of the mother was
heard. The prolonged absence Of the
child had caused disquiet on the part
of the parent, and she was calling to
her.
That's my mother" exclaimed the
little one by way Of explanation. I
shall have to so now. Goodby."
She was off like q flash of sunshine,
but had taken only a few steps when
she stopped short and looked around.
"You won't forget to bring your little
girl to see me? Won't you tell me your
name?
The warrior had risen to his feet and
was moving away. He, too. checked
himself, and, turning his head, an
swered both questions, but unfortu-
rately, Dorothy did not catch what he
said. She repeated her queries, but the
red man, for some reason that cannot
be conjectured. did not look around
again, nor speak. He struck into his
long, silent stride, and quickly disap-
peared among the trees.
II guess he said he will bring his
little girl to see me-" murmured Dor
othy, as she hurried up the path to her
mother, who was waiting for her, and
to whom she related her singular story.

watched for the coming Of her dusky

NEW Philippine SEAL.

Several years ago, writes a Washing
ton correspondent, French d. Chad
wick discovered that the great seal of
the United States had been heraldical-
ly faulty for a hundred years, and
forthwith the design was corrected by
experts and a new die was cut for the
State Department. This led to a study
of the devices used by the other Fed
eral Departments, and new designs
were soon made for the Army and
Navy and for the customs service Of
the Treasury. Even the flag of the
President had to be altered. The ex-
perts who were consulted in these
cases about the same time devised
a new coat-of-arms for Porto Rico and
a new seal, which gave some indica-
ton that the island had passed from
Spanish sovereignty to that of the
United States. In the last few months,
however, Porto Rico has abandoned

FEW YORK'S FLOWER MARKET
How the Metropolis ia Supplied With

how the metropolis IN ouPPiieo ~
Cut Roses and VloIets.
The liveliest spot in Greater New
York at half past five in the morning
is in the building at the corner Oh
Sixth avenue and Twenty-sixth street.
! Express wagons, carts, and vans piled
| high with long and narrow wooden
boxes struggle for places at the curb,
their number continually augmented
by other that rattle down from Broad
way or drive around the corner from
| Sixth VENUE.
1t is here that the cut-iower mar
| ket of the metropolis is installed, and
! more than two-thirds of the flowers
| that fill the windows of the big deal
| ers on the principal thoroughfares, or
are hawked by vendors in the streets,
are handled at Twenty-sixth street
and Sixth avenue in the early morn
ing.
The flower market is divided into
| two branches, each comprising a sep
sarate class to sellers and buyers, who
do business at separate hours. The
third floor of the building is given over
to the humber of the branches-the
| small growers, almost all from Long
Island, who bring in their own wares
with their own hands, and whose Gus
! toners are almost entirely itinerant
pedlers, who sell in the streets, or have
small stands on the sidewalks. Prac-
| tically the entire business of this
branch of the market is done between
six and seven o'clock in the morning.
On the second floor Of the building
are the big dealers, who sell on COM
mission to the larger florists, and
whose wares come by express from the
great greenhouses up the Hudson or
across the river in New Jersey. Vio-
lets are a separate industry in this
market, and one firm Oh the ground
noor controls the entire trade in this
flower. These mere arfstocratic trad
ers find their busiest hour between
eight and nine o'clock, after which
period the fashionable florist has plenty
