ADVANTAGES OF BEHTO EICH. By A4m Mmj K rocker. If riches hava worth at all It la la relieving the mind of thoughts of money. It la la letting soul mtd sense freely flower unlmprlsoned by pultry pennies. The Ignominy of poverty is the barbarous necessity of Interpreting all one's experience, in terms of dimes aud dollars ; of counting pennies over food, shelter, amuse ments, charities, everything; of choosing evil things for lack of pennies to get the good. It Is vulgar thug to do violence to one's taste, to one's deli cacy, elegance, case. It Is vulgar te solace us with soft sentiments instead of expressing ourselves with art and leauty. It is vulgar to starve our aoult by denying them what they require, to chain them to earth when they are winged to fly to heaven. For pitaous aa are poverty's de formities of the body, her ravages on the life of the soul are sadder. By ugliness and squalor the baart la bru talized, the soul scarred. Millions of men snd women lire crippled, stultified, diseased of mind and morals by reason of tbolr beggary. Less Idle, ns the world is now ordered, are the conso lations of philosophy and religion. There is no lot; how ever bate and paltry, but yleids fantastically Uriah compensation to nn heroic heart. And there is no soul so mean but buds and flowers La some beauty peculiar to itself, be its environs as they wilL When the civilized man so attunes his life to his surroundings, so har monises organism to environment that each responds per fectly to the other, his pitiful battles for xlatence will como to an end. Wealth will abound. Trivial tell will supply all the gentle luxnriea he needs, and his superb mental and spiritual forces will be set at leisure to en gage in those noble exercises which are their proper and worthy employment MISSION OF AST TO UPLIFT MAN. ,' By Jtn Delvllle. There perhaps never has been a period In the history of man or in the annals of art when nature was more beloved sd more ap preciatively studied than by the poets and men of science and artists of our own time. And unquestionably this has hsd a fruitful Influ ence in many ways upon the modern miud and the sensibilities of annklad as a whole. Dut we are too greatly fascinated by the visible. too easily led away by their Immediate an objective side of things, and thus lose sight of their Inner mean ing, mysterious and divine. The beautiful, tho good and the true are harmonious In nature, and the glory of art consists in making this harmony arparcnt Left to themselves, the uncultivated grasp only what strikes their grosser senses; they see nature under lis ugliest and most illusory sspect It is tho mission of art to make them feel the Indwelling beauty which, like truth, always has existed. Art la so profoundly related to humanity that before knowing what the art of to-morrow will be we must know what will be its science and philosophy. If art docs not aim at tpirltuallzatlon of thought one well may ask the reason for its existence. The average picture has no inspiration for us. Unimaginative laud scape Is one of the illegitimate forms of art, but the Im aginative landscape which suggests the cosmic beauty with which tho artist's soul has communed enters truly Into the domain of art and gives us no mere physical impression, but a mental vision of .nature. THE THEATEE AND THE PUBLIC. By Otis Sklaaer. As is the character of the community and the age, so Is Its theater. It cannot lead; It must follow, for it reflects life and tendencies ''the Very age and body of the time." If the public selects the trashy play or exposition on which to lavish its favor, it Is because that portion of the public possesses cheap and trashy minds and uncultured tastes. Find the man who prefers the educated dogs, the burlesque Uebrow and the Impossible Irishman of vaudeville to a well-sustained, well-acted play, and you have found one who cannot discriminate between the merits of Raphael's "Madonna" and tho "Newlywedfl" and "Ilappy Ilooligan" of the Sunday supplement. We cannot blame them, but we can educate them. Begin at the t-glnnlux in the home, in the schoolroom, give the men and women of the future a start In the right direction the result will follow. ULEFH ANTS' TUSKS. Some of Them Arc Nina FeH and Welsh -OO rnili. Sixty-flvo thousand elephants were killed In Africa last year and more than a million aud a half pounds of Ivory were taken from rbetu and hipped off to Europe, writes Frank J. Carpenter. Of this fully one-third came from Zanzibar, another third was from Portuguese East and West Africa, And a 'large part of the balance was from the valley of .the Congo. Capo Colony furnished a huadred thousand pounds, Egypt 300,000 pounds, nd a large part came from the Kigur territories and Lagos. African ivory brings the highest prices In the markets. It is superior to any other in the size of the tusks. I have seen some which are nine feet long, and there are some which weigh pa much ns iKO pounds each. The average weight of a tusk la much lea than this and one of a hundred pounds ia quite valuable. In India the nvernge tusk does not 'weigh fifty poinds, but that of the African elephant is much heavier. Many f the tusks are broken when they are brought Into the market The elephants requires four porters to carry It Such men are paid from three to five cents a day for their labor,, so that the cost of transportation Is not heavy.

It's a poor excuse tkmt a woman won't accept when ahe wants to because nobody else will. The way a woman Judges how sick her husband isnt Is by how much fuss he makes about It When a girl wants you to squeeze ber hand it's a 6lgn she will make more fuss abont It than If she didn't care. There's always a lot more enjoyment In smoking when your wife worries for fear you will spill the ashcA 00 the floor. To maintain her social position a woman needs to have things in hor wardrobe whether she can wear them or not There's something about tho clothes women wear in summer that makes yon think how different they would fee if they were dressed. Something a woman can never learn Is that when a man who works hard all year gets a little holiday he'd rath er spend It enjoying himself than vis iting her relatives or have them visit Ulm. Every woman would like her son to go into the ministry except that she is afraid it would stand In tho way of his being President. New Tork Press. GIVE TACK THE RIVERS. Itukluu I i lb Paai.

They continued to be thoroughfares nn til the middle of the last century. Now they are used mostly for sewerage and drinking water. Yet sooner or later nature knows that human nature will come to its senses. It takes no great genius to dis cover that the Ohio, Teunessec, Illinois, Mississippi, Missouri and the Arkansas might very easily bo joined by the canals of the great lakes. They are raw materiel ready for a transporta tion system which will make tho Nile look like a strip of litmus paper. , The rivers themselves seem anxious to work. Not having farm products to transjiort they are transporting farms. . There is a good deal of agricultural land of Missouri and Illinois, not to mention half a dozen other states, to be seen In the Gulf of Mexico. Dig up a few sand bars, build a few levees, and blow up a few dams, and the rivers will be sobered. Then the region between the Alleghanles and the Rocklee,' the flulf of Mexico and the north pole can get its goods to market without worry ing about the shortage of freight cars. If it Is for the Interest of the country that wo should huve harbors on the Puclflc and Atlantic, It Is Just as neces sary that there should be wharves and light-houses and fourteen-foot channels on the big rivers. elf Satlxaed.

He Is sure of respectful remembrance as It la. Were h to have a diy to himself early in October, It would be a case ef football first, Christopher Columbus nowhere. Another objection to the proposed holiday Is the fact that the date Is too close to those of other holidays. Our holidays are too badly buaraeJ. Against the crea tion of any' more holidays, too, is the argument that business la troubled enough by the holidays that we have already Rut the best argument of all agstnt such a holiday is the truth that a holiday created in honor of a man should be celebrated to the memory of that man.
