Don't Envy the Rich.

The real virtue of riches is that
they add to the picturesqueness OF
life. Mlllionaires and even semi-mil-
lionaires do great deal toward bright
ening the landscape, and we ought not
only to suffer them to live, but to be
grateful to them. Who would will
ingly miss the gay pageant down
Fifth avenue on a spring afternoon,
and reduce the beautiful city with Its
glad decoration of we'll dressed peo-
pie to the gray level of the willing
poor? No; the world is best consti'
tuted Just as 1t Is, with all the varie-
ties of the people, and all the varying
scales of being and OF dressing Only
let the man not yet doomed to being
a millionaire realize that, like the pur'
pie COW. 1t Is better to see than be one.
And Joy, after all, is really and truly
not to be bought with money, nor to

earth, but is, in very deed, as the sages
have known in all ages. the kingdom
OF heaven within.-Harpers Magazine

HIS MEMORY WAS GOOD.
On This Occasion He Probably Wish

In self-governing Mohammedan
countries where the administration is
always bad, education of the masses
is generally suppressed, or at least
neglected. The native who would
write a letter or have one read must
visit little booth, about the size OF
a dry goods box A questionable char
acter of doubtful race sits Turkish
fashion in this box, peering out OF
the opening, on leevl with the road
way. Before him, says the Youth s
Companion, are a pot of thick writing
fluid, several stubby wooden pens,
some slips of coarse paper and pep
per box of sand, with which the ink
is sprinkled and dried.
A yelled lady, carefully covering
her face, comes up to the booth,
stoops and presents letter

the fascinating maidens and squaws
of a Canadian Indian settlement. The
powder is not a really golden yellow;
1t merely has that rich, creamy brown

simple process Of burning a little OF

at the toes, then the wooden shoes
of the ninth and tenth centuries, fol

long pointed and turned-up toes

wide that II lmpeded the process oi

wearing Of this by proclamations. The
proclamation ran to the effect that
shoes should not be worn wider than

SETTER THAN UNITED STATES,
s,mland, II Is Asserted, Would Make
a Good Name,

A certain class Of minds has been az
work for more than 100 years trying
to construct an original designation
in single word for the United States
Of America II was seriously proposed
at first to call the republic Columbia,
but no one wanted that, and finally
New Granada, In South America, came
along and appropriated the title.

pend OF History" conducted cam

euphonius than "Fredomia," but sue.
ceeded only in getting the name at.
tached to n village in this state,
whence II has been passed on to post
Offices in a dozen other states Of the
union, says the New York Mail Later
the English kindly attempted to re-
christen the country "Usonia and the
people "Usonians," by derivation from
the magical initials ~. s. But com
mon speech accepts none of these des-
] lBudllOIhs AlltIlNd anu hlllNll-
cans are good enough for the people,
who see no improperly whatever in
giving a continental designation to
the republic and its citizens,
But the fact that no original designa-
tion has yet pleased the fancy of the
people is no sure sign that none ever
will. The International Mercantile
Marine company has hit upon name
for one of its ships which has great
popular picturesque possibilities. The
steamer Mississippi of the Red Star
line is to be rechristened Samand, in
honor of Uncle Sam.
And "Samland" is good Uncle Sam,
the genial and shrewd abstraction of
the republic, is dear to every heart.
We can imagine "Samland' going
from mouth to mouth until the applica-
ton of h is transferred to the nation.
After that Americans Of the United
States may be calling themselves Sam
landers and the business will be done.

that he stood for principle, and
could not be accused justly of being
for or against prohibition, or any
