THE MONEY CRAZE.
Wrong Standard by Which the World
Is Prone to Measure Men.

Wrong Standard by Which the World
Is Prone to Measure Men.
The money craze, or tendency to
commercialize the ideal, is found In
all walks Of life Never before were so
many clergymen, especially young
clergymen, leaving the pulpit to go In
to business. The great commercial
prizes are so tempting that their own
pitiful salaries look contemplate In
comparison. There are clergymen In
the American pulpit preaching for a
few hundred dollars year who know
perfectly well, and everybody else
knows. too, that they could make many
times as much money in business ca
reers. Many of them do not see why
they should not become rich and pow
erful. They do not understand why
using this money making capacity is
not as legitimate for them as for 9TH
ers. In other words, there Is power
full temptation today for a clergyman
to turn his creative faculties into mon
ey making channels.
Many of our lawyers are looking for
big fees rather than for great legal
acumen or high standing at the bar.
They know that lawyers are envied
today not so much as members of a
great and learned profession, uphold
ers of the majesty and justice of the
law, as because many of them make
a great deal of money from their prac-
tice. They know, too. that they are
ranked by fellow lawyers largely in
proportion to their ability to get big
fees. 1t is we'll known that some OF the
men who get enormous fees and become
millionaires are not great lawyers at
all and have nothing like the legal
ability of others who are not paid
quarter of their fees. What is his prac-
tice worth? seems to be the question
by which TO measure lawyers stand
ing in the minds of most people.
Physicians and surgeons are measur-
ed in much the same way. How often
we hear ii said, why, that physician
has practice Of $25. 900 year." Some
times the sum named is twice or thrice
as great. Just as If this was the meas
ure of a physicians usefulness! OF
course in a sense, getting enormous
fees is some proof of his ability. but
1t is not the best evidence Of mans
real service to the world.
Many authors today do not seem to
think so much of putting immortality
into their compositions-of writing
books which shall live through all time
as of earning the largest amount of
money possible with their pens. Few
modern writer's would spend years upon
a tiny bit of composition or exchange
their lives for a few immortal verses or
single book that the world would
not let die.-Success.

Alaska capturing white sheep for the
New York Geological Park, I had an
experience with eagles which illustrated
how easily they could capture young
lambs.
We had caught and were carrying a
lamb from the crags, thousands OF feet
above the valley, to our camp. The
little fellow was being conveyed In a
sack swung from the neck Of my guide
We had halted for a few minutes rest
at a particularly steep and rugged
cliff, and were about to continue when
an eagle suddenly appeared, flying
along the side Of the mountain close to
the face Of the cliff. On seeing us the
huge bird quickened It's flight. called
to my guide and we both watched his
approach. When about a hundred
yards away 1t suddenly bowed Its
wings and made straight at the guide
Nearer and nearer 1t came like an ar
row: its sharp wings cut through the
air like the hum of a bullet, while we
too surprised to act, expected every
instant that the bird would change Its
course.
But It did not. l saw my guide
tighten his grip on the sack that held
the lamb. and l knew then that he
had come to the conclusion that the
eagle really intended to snatch the
lamb from his grasp. When not more
than ten feet from the man the eagle
turned suddenly upward, missed the
guide by only a few feet, and then con-
tinued its flight alsng the mountain
side as quickly as 1t had appeared.

Too MANY DocroRs.-A physician
has lust returned from China heavily
laden with stories of Chinese medi-
cine.
Medical consultations are carried
to their extreme limit in China, he
said. There, when any one becomes
seriously i'll, a consultation Of fifteen
or twenty doctors is held. The doctors
fill the house with their arguments.
They make as much noise as poiiti-
cal convention. But such a consulta-
ton as that would be considered
small and futile If a great mana
mandarin, say, of the third class
were to be i'll. To consult on his case
at least a hundred doctors would
gather together.
"a member Of the royal family was
taken sick while was in China. and
my Chinese host told me with good
deal of pride that the largest consulta-
ton known to history had been held
over the sick man. No less than
3l6 physicians, he said, had come from
every part Of the kingdom to study
and discuss the case.
'The royal patient, I heard after
ward, died. This mammoth consulta-
ton had been in vain."

WilIie's Mistake.

Speaking Of the turtles that were
recently found In Jersey. bearing dates
Of fifty and sixty years ago, recalls an
incident that once occurred on the
farm Of the late Henry !. Deacon,
well-to-do and influential resident OF
the land beyond the Delaware.
A youngster. who was fond Of roam
ing over the fine, well-kept farm, found
a turtle one day and it occurred to him
to make 1t one of the ancient date.
Nothing short Of the George Wash
ington era would do. So. taking out
his penkife, the boy inscribed, "G W..
1776," on the reptiles shell. The cut
ting, of course, looked very modern,
but this was easily remedied by rub
bing II in mud and polishing 1t on the
grass.
This done to the satisfaction OF the
boy, he rushed to the jolly-faced farm
er, exclsiming:
Look, Mr.. Deacon, 1 just found a
turtle more than 100 years old with
George Washington's initials on the
she'll"
"Thee has?" said Mr.. Deacon, hold
ing out his hand for the turtle.
YES, sir" returned the youngster
with a very straight face.
The good old farmer glanced at the
REPTILE lust one second, and then burst
out into a merry laugh.

broken by a hoarse shout which came
from an open window of the little
house:

TALK DROWNED THE RoAR.-William
Dean Howells has low, musical voice
and he hates loud voices in women
the Chicago Chronicle says. Mr.. How
ellis sometimes tells story In Illus
tration of the shrill power that is too
often to be noted in the feminine
voices of America. A guide, this story
runs, came to a western hotel TO lead
a party of tourists to a great water
fall. In stout boots the party set out
and for two hours ascended a winding
and pleasant road.
We are nearly there now," the
guide said at last, and with revived
spirits the tourists pressed on.
How much farther, guide?" asked
a little later, young man whose boots
were tight.

- There is quite a diversity of opin-
ion regarding skirts. Trimming Is
fashionable and people put it on short
as we'll as long shirts, but the simpler
the short skirt the better its style. Short
skirts were introduced for practical
purposes, in order to furnish woman
with a skirt that was at once plain,
practical, hygienic and comfortable,
and trimming such a skirt defeats the
very object for which it was intend
ed. Too much cannot be said regard
ing the foolishness Of trimming a
short skirt. For one thing, the untrim-
med short skirt is not nearly as try
ing as the trimmed one. The latter
takes away from the lines Of ones fig
ure and from the effectiveness Of ones
appearance.
THE black lingerie hat is one Of the
prettiest and most useful forms of
late summer millinery, which is not
only fascinatingly becoming but which
can be worn almost all the year

which possibly can be added to a

fon bow and a pair of tulle strings
for which will be needed yard and
half of chiffon. The strings are an

Just one of those little secrets which
make the difference between ugliness
and prettiness. Strings that come in
next to the face are always to be
avoided, but strings starting with
small choux at the edge of the hat
and carried i'm a thin wiSp under the
chin and back again to the starting
point form a frame for the face
which is childishly becoming.

INEXCUSABLE NEGLECT.

For more than a week the earth
eXcavated for the track of the
street cars, on Second street
around to Taylor avenue, has been
lying upon the granitoid walk
leading to the city schools. The
had weather and the sleet and
snow, followed by the thaw of
Wednesday, made the narrow
passage way for pedestrians, be-
tween the bank of earth and the
granitoid foundation for the iron
fence, from two to four inches
deep in water, and the cOnse-
quence was that the teachers and
scholars had to wade through this
water all the way from the school
to the corner Of Bridge and Sec
ond streets. many of them hav-
ing their feet thoroughly wet.
Whose fault this is, we do not
know, but it is simply piece of
inexcusable neglect and careless
Indifference to the rights of 9TH
ers.
We hope this matter may be
attended to at once. The atten-
tion of the Board of Education is
especially called to the matter.
The teachers fear that many of
their scholars may be made sick
by having to wade through the
water, as they had to do, to get
to school.
