MONEY OF THE RICH.

Of More Use Fooiishly Spent Than
Hoarded or Lying Idle.
A great reservoir Of water undistrib-
uted leaves men and women to perish
of thirst and growing crops to parch
and die. So also vaults bulging with
stagnant money leave men and women
to perish in abject poverty and ripened
crops to rot within the fields and or
chards that grew them. Therefore
what happens to the dollars Of the
millionaire is question Of the first
Importance.
Those Of US who believe in praying
for material blessings will do we'll tc
pray long and earnestly that rich wo-
men will never cease to buy S100 hats
and $1,000 gowns. with diamonds and
other jewels to match; that they will
continue to give balls and teas and en-
tertainments Of the most expensive
kind; that they will be recklessly ex-
travagant in gewgaws and folderols Of
every description, because it will be
good for US who depend upon an in

Let US hope that rich mems sons will
continue to spend their fathers money
as foolishly as they are reputed to do
not because it will be good for them.
but because it will be good to have the
money poured into the wage earner's
money channels.
Let US doubly hope that the rich men
may be prospered in their money get
ting. because they will not let it lie
idle. Whatever their wives and chill
dren do not spend they put into stocks
and bonds and thereby turn it into the
wage earner's money channels. Let US
be thankful, too, that neither the dol

RAW DRUGS.
Castor Oil Comes as Pretty Little
Brown and Black Beans.


Upon going into a pharmacy and
looking over the mysterious jars and
bottles and boxes that line the shelves
did you ever wonder where on earth
all Of the drugs came from and how
they appeared before they were ground
up and made into oils or dried or pull
yerized or crystallized into queer
shaped Jumps? Each jar and box
seems to hide some secret which you
Immediately become curious to solve.
How many different lands do they rep
resent? And, after they leave the jars
that hold them now, what are they
made into?
Who, for example, would connect a
great pile Of dry, thin twigs, neatly
tied into small bundles, with sarsa-
parila? These twigs are the creep
Ing roots and rootlets Of a prickly
shrub that grows IN Jamaica. and they
are worth from 10 to so cents pound.
Somewhat similar In appearance is
fpecacuanha, which also comes to us
in dry twigs, which are part OF the
trailing root Of plant found III the
damp forests Of Brazil.
These roots receive no preparation
save drying before they are shipped off
70 the United States. They are packed
in large sacks, and the workmen who
open the bales must beware Of breath
ing the pungent, Irritating dust given
off, which is productive OF unpleasant
results if incautiously inhaled.
Castor oil, too, is hard to recognize
in the pretty little brown beans, spot
ted with black and with polished skins.
that arrive in bags from India. They
look far too attractive to suggest the
much hated dose Of our early days.
Aloes, the base Of many nauseous
medicines, may be seen in its crude
form as a solid mass resembling brown
sealing wax, packed in heavy wooden
boxes, from which it is Clipped
in fakes with a chisel and hammer.
It is of different qualities and prices,
according to whether it comes from
Arabia, Socotra or the West Indies,
and may bring any sum from 81 to
SIS per hundreweight. Aloes is the
Juice of the big feshy leaves Of the
plant Of that name. This juice is
pressed or evaporated from the leaves
and poured into chests or kegs in
semifuid state, hardening presently
into a solid block. Not infrequently it
is inclosed in the dry skins Of mon
keys and in this strange form brought
to market.
One Of the most interesting Of drugs
is opium. both on account Of its aw-
full potency and by reason Of it's great
value. A case Of opium, about 225
pounds, is worth $500 roughly. The
case is Of rough deal lined with tin
and contains a number Of soft, dark
aumps, like large handfuls OF dough
packed very closely together in a
Quantity Of dry, chaffy seeds.
The opium which reaches America
IS Of two qualities, one for medicine,
the other for smoking, and comes from
Persia and Asia Minor, China and In
dia.-St. Louis Republic.

Horse Sense,

A horse is so constructed by nature
that he has no desire to do anything
which will in1ure his health. He
walks around whatever is not good
for him and without a struggle. But
man is so constructed that whatever is
not good for him he wants to do. he
eats too much, and he eats too fast.
he drinks while eating@and there IS
nothing proper that he Woes without
an effort. Why this distinction in IA
vor of a horse? 1t may be said that
horse has only instinct, while man
has reason, which he should use. 1t
is pity that man was not given more
instinct and less reason--Atchlson

THE GREAT PYRAMID.
It illustrates the Wonderful Ability OF
the Ancient Egyptians.


the Ancient Egyptians.
The cost Of the labor and material
necessary to duplicate the great pyra-
mid of Gizeh at the present time would
amount to considerably more than
s5OOOO,OOO, according to a paper read
before the Society Of Engineers in
New York city by E. S. Wheeler, says
the American Architect. The cost OF
the material alone is estimated at $4S,-
100000.
This structure, one Of the wonders OF
the world, is founded on solid rock at
depth Of about 120 feet below the
surface level and rises to a height or
454 feet. Its base covers an area OF
almost fifteen acres.
Mr.. Wheeler's scheme for the repro
duction Of this pyramid contemplates
first the setting of base of concrete.
This would represent about 2,OOO,OOo
cubic yards Of material and would
cost st least s10,OOO,000. The estimate
for the superstructure is about $685.
100000, and it would contain 3,313,0OO
cubic yards of backing stone and l4O,-
900 cubic yards of facing stone. Mr.
Wheeler's estimate of labor is 24,OOO,-
600 days.
These figures are cited to show the
great engineering skill Of the Egyp-
tians and the fact that no task in con-
struction appeared to be too large for
a people whose extant monuments
showed their patience and ability to
overcome obstacles that would daunt
even the modern engineer.
