James R. keene's Advice to Would
Be Wall Street Spectator.

James R. Keene, the daring specula-
tor and financial magnate, was sitting
one day in his Wall street office when
a lank Yankee, who in accent and ap-
pearance gave every indication of hav-
ing come from the rural districts, was
ushered in.
We'll, sir. what can do for your"
asked Mr.. Keene. genially. The man
gave his name and address, the latter
being small village in Massachusetts,
and announced that he had come to
New York to go into speculation, and
wanted MIR. Keenes advice.
III 'mmm-m," refectively murmured
the old-time antagonist of Jay Gould.
May | ask you how much money you
are prepared to invest?"
1t developed that the Yankees capt.
tai was exactly $40.
Go back to Massachusetts" coun-
seled Mr.. keene, solemnly, and don't
come here again until you have
amased at least S25. twenty-five dol
lars is positively the smallest sum on
which a man can begin and hope to
be success in the street"
The man who overheard the CONVEX
sation is still wondering whether
keene was joking or in earnest. In
view of Keene's wizardry it is quite
likely that he himself would be able
to do things in Wall street with a sum
no higher than s25.-Illustrated Sun.

PITY and Friendship.

Pity and friendship are passions in
compatible with each other and it is
impossible that both can reside in any
breast for the smallest space without
impairing each other. Friendship is
made up of esteem and pleasure; pity
is composed of sorrow and contempt;
the mind may for some time fluctuate
between them, but it can never enter.
tain both ogether.-Goldsmith

New Way of Touohenina.

In a novel method of TOUCHING lately
brought out, the metal treated is
placed in closed retort with a small
quantity of mercury, the retort is sub
jected to pressure, and as it is heated
to point below melting temperature
a current of electricity is passed
through the metal Besides increased
toughness, greater resistance is given
to corrosion by sea water and other
agents. The hardening is especially
adapted for iron and steel, but is
claimed to be useful for other metals.

Advice to Youna Men

If you are inclined to become a hus-
band, by all means select wife from
family in which there are numerous
daughters. In such a case the girl is
much less likely to be spoiled, and
consequently is calculated to make a
better wife Then you will render
yourself immensely popular with the
parents, who find it extremely difficult

Every Man a SCULPTOR

Every man is the builder of a tenn
pie, called his body, to the God he wor-
ships after style purely his own, nor
can he get off by hammering marble
instead. We are all sculptors and
painters, and our material is our own
flesh and blood and bones. Any noble
ness begins at once to refine man s
features, any meanness or sensuality
to imbrute them-Thoreau.

Gifted Women.

There can be no high society where
conversation is not the chief attrac-
ton; and men seldom learn to talk
we'll when not inspired by gifted wom-
en-. Women are nothing in the social
circle who cannot draw out the senti-
ments of able men; and man of
genius gains more from the inspira-
ton OF one brilliant woman than from
all the bookworms of many colleges.
