It has been dIscovered that a man may pos aess great wealth and still fall of , complete mastery of the science of government or the principles of po- 11t1cal economy. Nay , It Is evident that such a man may not even prove _ a reliable guide to the Inquirer who p' ! seeks for the , road to wealth. " , , One of the most didactic of our vivacious millionaires has recently declared - dared that riches are within the reach of every man who wishes to be ! rich. He asserts that there are but I two requisItes for the acquIsition of 4 wealth-moderate Intelligence and unlimited - limited Industrr. GIven these , he declares - clares that any man can get rich. Which is , of course , entirely false and misleading , even though it comes from a gentleman who has piled up great wealth and Is now engaged In piling up free libraries. Everyone knows that Intelligence and Industry are not the sole essentials to the acquisition - quisition of riches. Everyone.l news . of men highly intelligent and thoroughly - o oughly industrious who can scarcely make a living. It Is true that intelligence and industry - dustry are qualities favorable to the . . attainment of wealth , but it is not . , true that the possession of those i ) , qualities , even In the highest degree , 'p"constltute any assurance of riches. The money-making faculty 1s a , thing apart from other natural endow- m nts. An ignorant , illiterate man " who possesses it will get rich , and intellectual genius without it will remain - main poor all his me. Like a gift for music , it can be cultivated , but it can- not be acquired. The sayings of our loquacious millionaires - t , lIonalres , like the aphorisms in the copybooks , will not always bear analy- sis. In the present instance the fal- , : . slty of the proposition is evident to everybody , since a vast majority of the people , though they are intelligent j and hard working , never acquire so much as a modest competence , let alone wealth.-Chicago Record-Her- ald. 'f . . . WOMEN IN GERMANY. - The movement In Germany to open t. the doors of the universities to women - r . en has tailed in its chief purpose , : . but it bas led to something. Girls are to be admitted ' to the classical schools preparatory to the university . aa an experiment , but there is a posi- tive opposition on the part of the government - " ernment to a classical training for women. Instead , and "to maintain . the Ideal position of German women . f in the home , " the instruction of girls in the high schools is to be better adapted to domestic requirements. That is to say , the ambitious young : , " women are to be taught the art and science of cooking and of household . work generally. The minister of in- $ tl'uctlon does not seem to be impressed - ( pressed by the arguments In favor of erudite women , but he has a lively sense ot the importance to the coun- try of general good cooklng-Phila- dolphla Record. LIMIT OF LAWYER'S DUTY. A lawyer has no right to do any- thing as a lawyer which he would scorn to do as a nlan and a citizen. His obligation to the court and to the , public Is and must be paramount to " : _ ( his obligation to his client. Unless fj this is recognized the lawyers would 1 be the moat dangerous class In the I communlty-Indlanapolls News. I t WHOLESALE BANKING. "No personal accounts , largo or "mall , wanted here ; we do business only with large corporations. " This was the reply the president oC one of the $25,000,000 Wall street banks gave to an inquirer as to the minimum de- posit that institution would accept. It was a notification that this was distinctly - tinctly a "wholesale ban . " Such an answer would not have been made five years ago. But this Is a new a&e. The billion-dollar trust and the $25- 000,000 bank are to Wall street what wireless telegraphy is to olectrlclt ' - I wonders. The vast demands of mod- ern industry , often requiring the nego- tlatlon of a loan of $5,000,000 upon a few hours' notice , with frequent calls for stupendous accommodation from transcontinental railroads or syndi- cates financing foreign government bond issues , have called into being these new banlts-vorltable Incan1l1- tlons of power , holding , indeed , ' the safety and happiness of a people in their 11Ilnds-Saturday evening Post. THE CZAR'S PRIVATE FORTUNE. - Many newspapers have seriously reproduced - produced a telegram which appeared In n Paris journal announcing that the Emperor Nicholas had presented his private fortune , amounting to eighty millions sterling ( $400,000,000) ) to the Russian government for war purposes. It was added that this huge sum stands to the credit of the emperor - or In a bank of a country not friendly to Russia. Eighty millions would be a pretty sort of a sum to be held at call by any bank ; but the whole story is n romance , and so are all the other . tales about the emperor's dealings I with his civil list. The fact is that the emperor of Russia has no civil list , and he draws at his discretion on the imperial treasury , every rouble of which is supposed to be his prop- erty and absolutely at his disposal.- I London World. CURBING TREE BUTCHERS. - It Is satisfactory to note that public opinion is being aroused on the sub- ject of the wanton destruction of shade trees by the servants of tele- phone , telegraph and electric light companies , who are sent out to string wires and who carry the implements with which to male short work : of a tree which they deem in the way of their operations. Such outrages are usually committed when those able and willing to protect trees are away from home. Protests from women count for very little , and tears for even less. Against subsequent suits for damages the companies are well fortified. If a valuable tree Is once spoiled what its owner can recover by a suit at law would not tr uble any one-Chicago Chronicle.

The extent of damage done by insects - I sects which pre on the agricultural . interests of the United States is but little appreciated Twelve bugs , according - cording to reliably statistics , do an estimated damage to farm products ot $363,000,000 per annum.
