VIRGINIA..
A Ajuh Philosophv.

Few women have the tall mans
chance to overlook the world; but the
girls who work in the top stories of
the new Singer building in New York
ought to become possessed of a fine
type of philosophy, If the proverbial
bird's-eye view can give it. Forty
seven stories in the air-66O feet
above the street-familiar sights are
strange. First, one notices that every
body looks like everybody else. The
crowds of eager human beings throng-
ing the streets of the city are reduced
to mere scrambling ants, whose pur-
pose in life is to ive-neither more
nor less. Diamonds and velvets, rags
and dirt disappear from view. But
the passion to keep on crawling about
and climbing up and down is seen to
rule all alike-a strange passion, capa-
bile Of sweeping up wealth and sex and
genius In its universal grasp. Six
hundred feet above the street one sees
the works of mans hands as at once
marvellous and absurd Here huge
structures rise in the air, there vast
tunnels are being bored, and there
again hundreds of men are filling in
the shadows with earth to double the
size of Governors island. What toll
and skill 60 into these human efforts
to stay on the particular spot of this
little planet where is room for them!
exclaims the Youths Companion.
North and west of the crowded streets,
helds and hills invite in vain. The
busy woman, snatching a moment for
rejection at her lofty window, sees
also that men and their works and
ways make a deal of smother in the
world. The great volumes of black
smoke marking the centers of activity
below her contrast strangely with the
white clouds sailing over her head. To
the sage's question, why so hot, little
man." she must add, why so dirty"
But her criticism is checked by the
thought that she, the critic, is herself
an atom in this vast surge of human
life; and If some impatient force were
to sweep away all its scramble and
smoke and change, she would herself
be snatched from her lofty and in
structive point Of view.

Tolstoi's reason for trying to stop

W ciety is on the wing, and in a

thing in these days to stay too long in
any one place. One must lead SIM

Lady OF the Mount" in various. cafes
IN different parts of France. At Tours
where the writer called for paper and
ink one day, the waiter, an inouisitive
mortal, noticed that Mr.. Isham num-
bered his page of note paper 104

said the writer, and the garcon, who

REFUSES TO STAY Buried

James McClurg Guffey, multi-mllionaire oil
operator, gold, silver and coal mining owner and
Democratic boss of Pennsylvania the man who
was pronounced two years ago to be politically
dead beyond hope of resurrection, has swung the
convention of his state and elected delegates-at-
large pledged to oppose Bryan. 1t is less than
two years ago that Julian Hawthorne wrote of
him:
Those who would fatter him call him q
fool. He is too stupid to see the handwriting on
the wall; but 1t is no matter; his power is
ended"
Mr.. Hawthorne failed to take into considera-
ton Guffeys natural cunning, which has saved
him from humiliation on several occasions and
which has brought him to the front once more.
This is no sudden dislike for Bryan on Guffeys

Lovejoy began with Carnegie as telegraph

hard worker who had little to say, especially
about the Carnegie Steel Co. Carnegie recog-
nized his worth and made him partner in the
steel business. Then came the break between
Carnegie and H. c. Prick. Lovejoy, who was
then secretary of the Carnegie Steel Co., sup

BUTTERFLY A BUSY BEE

The earl of Crewe, the handsomest man and
the most stylishly dressed in the British house
of lords, has been promoted from lord president
of the council, a position almost a sinecure at
$4,000 year. to secretary of state for the colo
MES, portfolio that provides lots of work and
a salary Of $4,000 year. In his old position
his principal duty was to carry big, twohanded
sword at the opening of parliament and do his
best to prevent it from getting entangled be-
tween the legs of some state functionary. This
duty would occupy about half an hour a year,
and the radical wing of the government party
have been raising fuss about the salary being
out of all proportion to the services rendered.
There was some danger of the post being abol-
ished, so it was deemed advisable to provide
Lord Crewe with position of real responsibility.

During his secretaryship it appears

village in the Appenine mountains that
he was making mints of money in

Their inquiries, in the form of an
appeal, were drawn up by the enlight-
ened mayor Of the village, who for
warded them to the British embassy

of his own prehistoric atlas.
