How to Be Wealthy.

From the Chicago Tribune.
There has been within the week q
veritable contagion of advice to young
men by financial luminaries. Mr.
Rockefeller the younger affirms that
any one may reach the goal of re-
spectacle wealth by pertinacitv. hon
esty and zeal. Mr. J.. w. Higgins
whose rise from messenger boy to chief
high general manager of thirty rail-
roads thrills the heart, contributes a
similar formula for success. Having
made up his mind what he wishes to do
Mr.. Higgins declares, a young man de-
sirous of success must work and work.
David r. Forgan, the Chicago banker,
also offers a means to fame and power
after the same manner, adding only
that a man must bring his religion into
his business.
The struggling and ambitious youths
undoubtedly listen and give heed to
these wise words. and forget promptly

High Cost of Education.
I'm the Hartford Courant.

From the Hartford Courant
Some idea of the high and increasing
cost of education may be obtained
from a little bulletin just issued by
the Princeton University Press Club
Ten years ago the estimated cost of
the buildings at Princeton was s3,23S.-
$40. Since then nineteen new struc-
lures have been erected at cost of
s4.157.4S0. Thus the amount of cap
ital invested in buildings has been
more than doubled. During the ten
years the teaching faculty at the uni
versity has been increased from 100
to 1876. and the amount paid in sala rie s
from S195.135 yearly to $401,31O. Yet,
in the same time the number of stu
dents has grown but slightly, from
1874 to 1,643. With an increase in
the number of students of slightly less
than 20 per cent, the investment in
buildings and the cost of the teaching
force have more than doubled.

4 GROUP of thirty reproductions of
~ Autographs by Whistler has been
placed temporarily on exhibition at the
Library of Congress with the object of
showing how admirable such mechan-

reproductions have been made through
the aid of photography. In any event
they are remarkably satisfactory The

Before this group of Autographs, pre-

stands amazed at the extraordinary
genius of that man SO full of eccen-
tricities and foibles and yet so supreme

is questioned by none. No matter what
he drew. it instantly became interest

like all Whistlers works. but each has
that touch which calls the initiated in

INDUSTRIAL organization in the
II United States is not as close and
systematic as in some other coun-
America for Industrial organization
and industrial economy is proved by
those industries to which Americans
have seriously applied themselves. The
progress which has been made toward
the elimination of waste and the utili-
cation of what was waste is stupen-
dous In the cotton industry the change
from careless methods to high degree
efficiency has been impressive. The uses
to which cottonseed--its' lihterS, hulls
and meats-is put are almost too many
for offhand enumeration by students
of the subject.
Some oil has been obtained from cot
tonseed by means OF crude presses
from time immemorial, but 1t was not
until late in the past century that ma
chinery for the economical expression
of the oil was devised. IT was. how
ever, not long ago that cottonseed had
but little value and was often con-
sidered nuisance. Several cottonseed
oil mills had been built in this country
prior to 1910, but as late as 1857 there
were only four mills actually in opera
ton. Formerly the chief purpose in
crushing the seed was to obtain the
oil; however. with the perfecting OF
machinery for. treating the seed and
the finding of new uses for its prod
ucts, the industry has had remark
able development. 'Cottonseed meal.
which formerly had very little value,
is now used extensively in the manu-

tributes a large part Of the value OF
cotton seed products. Hulls are in
great demand for feeding purposes,
while linters. which primarily were re-
moved from the seed for the better
separation OF the meats from the huIIs
are now used extensively in the manu-
facture of felts. hats, absorbent cotton
and explosives.
