eons Mar Who Ordered Dishes Thst
Ne Could Not Eat

When people have more money
than they know what to do with
they sometimes develop remarka-
ble ingenuity in devising methods
of squaNisring it, as in the case of
the French marquise who has her
bed strewn with rare and exquisite
orchids, at a cost of several thou
sand dollars a week.
Even more remarkable is the sto-
ry told of a wealthy Frenchman
who dimes twice week at famous
.Parisian restaurant. His appetite is
the poorest, but he always insists
on having a tureen filled with spe-
.cially prepared soup placed before
him. Next comes huge joint Of
meat, from which he cuts one tiny
slice Then follow four quails or n
Urge chicken, of which he eats one
im0uthful. His dessert consists Of
four grapes and a sup of coffee,
Nwhile during the meal he just
,noistens his lips from bottle Of
expensive claret and another of the
finest champagne. At the conclu-
rsion of each meal, for which he pays
$50, he hands So to the head waiter,
81 to the waiter who had attended
him, So to the woman cashier and
81 10 the porter.

Why Women do Not Marry.

The bureau of labor in Massachu-
sets has been furnishing some sta
tistics that throw a sidelight upon
the subject of the decline in mar
riage. The number of single women
in 1885 was 7,070,15l. In 1895 the
number was 1868, 1863. There was
an increase in the number of married

Kissing Not Hygienic.

The Medical Journal says that all
formal kissing is foolishness, and
that women should never kiss one
another. Such kissing is the means
of disseminating germs. Any one
who is i'll in any way should never
permit themselves to be kissed, and
no one should kiss a baby on the
mouth.

Camphor Is made in Japan In this
way: After tree Is felled 1t Is cut
up into chips, which are laid in n tub
or large iron pot partially filed with
water and placed over a slow fire.
Through holes in the bottom of the tub
steam slowly rises and, heating the
chips, generates oil and camphor. OF
course the tub with the chips has a
closely fitting cover. From this cover
bamboo pipe leads to a succession
of other tubs with bamboo connections.
and the last of these tubs is divided
into two compartments. one above the
other, the dividing floor being perforat-
ed with small holes to allow the water
and the oil to pass to the lower com
partment. The upper compartment is
supplied with a straw layer, which
catches and holds the camphor in crys-
tai in deposits as it passes to the cool
ing process. The camphor Is then sep
arated from the straw and packed IN
wooden tubs. The oil is 9sed by the
natives for Illuminating and medical
purposes.

THIS FOR YOUNG MAN
Editor Goodwin Tells How He Can
Get His Political Bearings.
SO CALLED YELLOW CRY
1t is the Cry Of the Laggdrd and the
Man Who Wont Work.

Suppose a young, man is just
out of school, college, high
school or a common school, it does
not matter, and, looking out over
his country, wants to. choose an
avocatfon, what would he see?
He would see a few very rich
men, thousands rich, the great
mass fairly we'll off, and work
for all who desired to work at
fair wages, says Goodwin's'
Weekly.
He would see that ninety out
of every hundred Of the very rich
and the rich had made their. for
tunes from nothing or next to
nothing. He would see among
the ranks of the workers and the
idlers thousands who had a little
fortune when they began, but
who are poor now. He would
see, beside, a great crowd who
never had any money and who
have never done any honest work.
but who somehow seem to live.
Many of them wear fine raiment
every day and eat luxurious food.
He would pick up a yellow
journal and read that the worlds
wealth was at present most un-
equally and unjustly divided, and
that Society must be revolution
lied that justice might be done.
Reading a little furtherjhe would
read that the rich and the very
rich are all criminals, and that
justice never Will be done until
they are despoiled.
And dropping into some meet
ing at night he would hear one
of those Who have never done
any honest work declaimfhg in
the same strain against tie rich.
If the next day he determined
to investigate he would find that
the money which skilled laborers
receive for their labor almost all
comes from the bad men who are
rich or very rich; that those bad
men have had the genius and the
, tenacity of purpose to inaugurate
mighty enterprises which stretch
great transportation lines across
the country or build great indust-
: rial plants that seize and convert
, raw material into the finished
products which the world wants
He would discover, too, that
the farmers, who are the main
F; stay Of a country, who supply
food and textiles to the world,
I are in truth dependent upon the
rich or the very rich for either
q purchasers for their surplus pro
Y ducts, or who enable them tt
t transfer their products across the
land and the sea to those in for

$ That night he would again rea(

RICHES OF ALASKA
Country Just Beginning To Learn
Of Its Mineral Wealth.
Where the Poor Man Stands. on Equal
Chance With the Rich.

What the interior of Africa was
to Europe as an unknown and ex-
plorable land, that Alaska is to the
United States, says Mining Re-
porter. Most of the other states
and territories of North America
are so well known that little new
is expected of them. Even Mex
leo, coming mining country, is
but a resurrection of an old and
long-known country, and ancient
civilization. But Alaska has all
the charm of, novelty, all the in
terest of exploration and that pc
culiar interest which attaches to
the gradual development, pro-
gress and building up Of a pioneer
state or territory.
Geologically and Topographic
cally there is no other part of
America like it. Glance for a
moment at that. extraordinary
shaped region, with it's wonderful
ragged coast line, relics of a once
much more extended continent, a
region torn to tatters on the edges
by glaciers and glacial action; pro-
ducing coast line by it's f5ords
and old glacial islet extensions
comparable to and resembling the
northern coast Of the Scandinav-
ian peninsula but far SURPRISING
it in wildness of outline. 1t is a
region, too, in it's upper extension,
where the extreme of fire and
water meet, where there are
glaciers and ice sheets on one
hand, and on the other, like the
Antarctic region with its Erebus
and Terror, there are living active
volcanoes, and more than that,
new ones lately formed and others
likely to form and burst forth at
any moment.
Then consider the wonderful
discoveries of mineral wealth,
such as those Of the Nome and
other excitements; and gradually
as researches are being extended,
Alaska appears to be a treasure
house containing within its bound.

of those minerals so much desired
