"It would be well for the young men of today to take my recipe for becoming prosperous," said Mr. John Shepard the other day as he sat before his little desk in an upper story of hisgreat dry goods house on Winter street. "I began life at the very bottom rung of the ladder, but with a determination that I would succeed if such a thing were possible with the talent that I possessed. Early in life I came to the conclusion that economy was the first great essential in establishing a fortune, and that labor was the second. I banished from my mind all other considerations when I be gan to work upon tho road that I f elt sure would lead to the goal of which I was in search. "I remember very distinctly going" down Marshall street one day and hay ing my attention attracted by a most tempting display in a confectioner's win dow. I had what is known as a very sweet tooth, and I brought up standing before the sweet collection as if sud denly arrested by some irresistible force. My hand immediately found its way" to the pocket that carried my meager hoard ings, and before I really knew what .1 was doing I had invested 2 cents in but terscqtch. When I .got back into the street, I began to have a full realization of what I had done, and it is safe to say that no candy ever entered a boy's mouth that was so little relished as was my butterscotch. I regretted that invest ment for years, and whenever the tempta tion again came upon me while passing the store I put it away instantly. m "Keeping close to this line of strict economy, I found myself at last in a po sition to go into business. Then, how ever, I commenced to feel that capital alone was powerless in the attainment of success, unless it was seconded by un tiring labor. Here also I met all the necessary requirements, frequently de voting 20 hours of the 24 to my business. Gradually I found that I was amassing ax fortune, and finally i established the house which now bears my name. After I had accomplished what I started out to do, there came over me an entire change. I had no aspirations to become abnor mally wealthy. "All that I wanted was a safe guaran tee against possible disaster in the fu ture. I devoted a portion of my time to tho enjoyment of life, believing that I had earned my right to do so. oNo, sir;' there is no use in filling a boy's head with all the new f angled ideas of getting rich, as they are not practical. Econo my and labor are the only elements that enter into the great plan of successful business life." Boston Herald. Pet Economies. At a dinner the other evening every one was asked to state truthfully vhat were his or her pet economies, and the result was very amusing, each person being convicted of some small meanness which contrasted oddly enough with his or her stylo of living. "I must confess I can never resist hatpins," said ono grand dame. "I simply hate to buy them, and I alwaj-s feel a disposition to take one whenever I see a well garnished pincushion at a friend's house." MI am so thankful to hear you say so," exclaimed another magnate of society who entertains charmingly in her lovely house on Murray hill, "for I am a veri table kleptomaniac about rubber bands. Whenever I attend ono of my charitable meetings I always feel an almost irre sistible temptation to put several more than I need around my papers for home use." . , "I think tho only thing I am really stingy about," admitted a rich bachelor who is renowned for his hospitalities, "are matches, x always iignt over an old match" if possible, andinvariablyjrowi the servants if they buy too many." New York Tribune. Words Ib the Telephone. Long distance telephoning has become j little science on its own account and has called into existence a class of oper ators who are valuable by reason of the clearness and (sharpness with which they can pronounce words while speaking rapidly. It has also developod the fact that the French language is better adapted to the purposes of tho telephone than the Eng lish. The ordinary business of the long listance telephone between Paris and London is carried on in the French lan guage. It is stated that the considerable proportion of sibilant or hissing syllables in English renders it a less easy and ac curate means of communication. Certain English words are especially difficult of transmission by telephone. The word "soldier" is cited as one of these. Proper names frequently occur in the midst of an otherwise perfectly audible and intelligent conversation which the ear cannot possibly catch. These must be spelled out, involving de lay. Expert telephone operators in the press service between Paris and London have succeeded in transmitting messages in the French language at tho rate of 190 words a minute. This is at a much swifter rate than ordinary speech. Youth's Companion. Tho Profit In Foam. Some people deplore tho use of foam ing preparations in soda water, claiming that such additions are totally uncalled for and unwarranted, but it must never theless be conceded that soda foam can bring forward several valid argument. in its own favor. In tho first place, it aids greatly in keeping the gas from es caping too rapidlyf rom tho tumbler. In tho second place, it undoubtedly adds greatly to the dispenser's profits, for it is claimed that by adding two ounces of foaming preparation to a gallon of sirup tho confectioner can draw 50 more glasses than without the foam. Thirdly, we must remember that tho appearance of any article of food or drink plays fully as important a part as its taste in increasing tho appetito and stimulating the gastric secretions, and whenwo bear all theso facts in mind wo shall be inclined to look upon the snowy foam with more leniency. And, indeed, however wo may look at it, there is no denying tho fact that it has come to stay, and to stay probably for a considerable period of time, so wo must make the best we can of the matter. Thomas War wick in Confectioners' Journal. . Story of a Lustrous Diamond. . One of the finest diamonds in tho world was found not longsinco in the Brazilian sands. It came in a novel form. A small quartz rock was found, about the size and shape of an egg, lying in tho sands alongithe bank of the Amazon in Brazil. This was carried home by a Brazilian peasant, who was attracted by its odd shape and light weight. For some time it lay in his home with a number of other geological specimens, a mere cu riosity. Happening one day in handling it to drop it on a stone block, it burst open and lay in halves on tho block. The hollow interior that gave the light weight to the stono was filled with blood red sand. In this sand lay the diamond, a sparkling stono of tho rarest quality. The stono was later sold to a diamond merchant an-1 left tho finder exceedingly wealthy. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Effect of Music on Animals. At the zoo the zebra, wild ass, deer and ostrich went into paroxysms of rage at the sound of the piccolo, although they had manifested various signs of pleasure over the violin and flute. The tiger was asleep, and refused to bo awak ened by tho fiddler and flutist. But when tho man with the piccolo began to play the animal sprang furiously to its feet and rushed angrily up and down the cage, lashing its tail. So extreme was the beast's anguish that the piccolo man speedily gave place to tho flutist. The difference in effect was at once apparent. 1 Tho tiger stopped, listened, Isy down and purred like a kitten in its enjoyment of tho grateful sounds, and presently fell asleep in luxurious repose. London Spectator. The Daily Dinner In Some Houses. In no way has the spirit of the' times brought more change than in tho dinner hour and costume. The grandfathers of tho present generation thought 6 o'clock a late hour to dine, but now 7:30 is con sidered early. The master should also don his dress suit, although the Tuxedo coat in one's own house is allowable. The mistress dresses as though for a ball, tho only difference being in tho ma terial, which is plainer, and tho eeve3, which are worn long. The same formal ity must be observed in serving the din ner as obtains when a number of guests are present. Vogue. A New Game In Paris. There is in Paris a game called draw ing room confidences, which consists in the presentation to each guest of a little album containing a series of questions on one's personal character, tastes and predilections, to bo answered in writing. The game is certainly not new. It used to be very familiar in London and the provinces some years ago, and perhaps it still lingers here and there in certain-. English drawing rooms. London Letter. IIow Gluck Composed. Of Gluck it is said that when ho felt himself in a humor to compose he had his pianoforte carried into a beautiful meadow, where, with a bottle of cham pagne on either side of him, ho was able to do justice to his muse. Harper's Bazar. Making a Frencli CooK. The making of a man cook in France is a lengthy and tedious process" When a young man decides to pursue a culi nary career ho selects his nominal in structor, to whom he pays a fee of $500. The aspirant is first assigned to the veg etable cook, who teaches him how to prepare the raw materials. When he has mastered this, he is initiated into tho mystery of cooking them. This thor oughly learned ho studies the way of cutting up raw meat, of preparing fish and how to stuff, dress, truss and lard game and poultry. When he has thor oughly learned this, he is placed before tho range, where he receives instruction in the various processes of broiling, fry ing, roasting and baking. When he graduates from this depart ment, he passes under the control of the second cook, who reveals to him the mysteries of sauces and soups. The in terest of this functionary in his pupil it is necessary to accelerate with liberal and frequent tips. The young man is now turned back to the pastry cook, to whom he serves a long apprenticesliip in all that pertains to the concoction of - Where Styles In Hats Rarely Change. Dr. Doran tells us that the Natal "fashionables" wear hats a foot high in height, made of the fat of oxen. They first gradually anoint tho head with a pure grease, which, mixing with the hair, fastens the hat on during the life time of the wearer. Tho Myantses make hat ota board 12 inches by C. They k on their heads, draw, the hair over it ana seal it wim wax. xney can not lie down without keeping their necks straight, and when they comb their hair, which they do once or twice a year, they have to spend considerable time in melt ing the wax before they can get their hats off. Philadelphia Ledger. - Bound to Get Even. A man went up on the elevated who chuckled delightedly to himself and finally confided to his companion tho cause of his mirth. "You see," said he, "mj- wife is al ways giving me things she wants house furnishings and the like for a gift. I'm .going to get even with .her. "I'm going to givo her a year's sub scription fo three scientific magazines I have to take." And the gentlemen chuckled in unison, while tho women going up town with drawing room bric-a-brac to present to their husbands glared frigidly at the plotter. New York World. Scientific Calculations. An electrical writer has calculated that the firing of a small pistol sets free about fiOO foot pounds of energy, while a watch consumes about 1-54,000,-000th of a horsepower, the energy of tho bullet being sufficient to keep tho time for two years. An Edison telephone transmitter requires about 1,000th of tho energy in a watch. It would therefore bo worked for 2,000 years on tho energy exerted in the pistol. A lightning flash of 3,500,000 volts and 12,000 lampheres, lasting 1-21 ,000th of a second, would run a 160-horsepower engine for 10 seconds. New York Telegram. Frozen "Water Not Pure. The popular idea that water is puri fied by freezing has been again dis proved by recent careful experiments, which show that the average amount of impurity retained by the ico is 34.3 per cent of organic matter. As organic matter is the more objectionable of the two, the case is worse than was for merly supposed. New York Press. Worlc of the Types. The editor who at tho last moment had to substitute "dead" for "ill," but who forgot tho qualifying adverb, furnished his readers with tho surprising news that "our esteemed fellow citizen, Simon Smith, is lying dangerously dead." Washington News. John Nihle's Brave Deed. An old comrade of mine, Sergeant John Nihle, attached to the United States cav alry, was out with a scouting part, and they were surprised by a party of In dians four times their number. They exchanged shots with them, wheeled about and made for camp, some miles distant. The Indians continued firing, and final ly one of the white men was hit and fell from his horse. Quick as a flash Nihle dismounted, dropped on his. knee and fired at tho foremost Indian, bringing him to the ground. Jumping up he placed his wounded comrade across his horse, jumped up behind him, and by keeping up a continual fire at his pur suers carried him into camp. Congress awarded Nihle a medal and also a cer tificate setting forth the facts of his hero ism. He was the champion shot of the nrmv for several years, his left breast f being decorated with medals to the value of $700, but tne ono no prizes most is w simple one of bronze awarded bycon- gross. i T-t... ic vorv mrwlpst and as brave as a uuuuu : , , , , mroiita tviqItipsi flTwl lfPQ 'Fli'a pnninlafoc ,i i, i i: ,i oa cnrli lm is rctraraea by ms 1113 wuiiii.il j cuuuuiiuuj ctiiii uu 13 jiu- t null, auu . rmrPfl tn nssnmfi tho Trtlfi nf a f-nmnotpnf ; (rtmmrlps at WilletS Point.

Am Ancient City Noted For Its Many Groves and Gardens Phoenicia as She Appears Today The Dress or Its People Their Garments and Their Arms. The dewdrops glittered in the light of the just rising sun, and tho air was heavy with sweet odors of hundreds of orange and lemon trees with white blossoms. The scene was a picture of marvelous fertility. Orange thickets, yellow and white with their double burden of fruit and flowers; lemon, apricot and fig trees, interspersed with tho more tropical palm and date, all growing in tho greatest luxuriance. At times we saw tho queer shaf tliko leaves of tho banana, often 10 feet in length. An occasional mulberry orchard explained the presence of an en terprising silk manufactory near by, Every few yards little brooks babbled along, the absolute essential of this lux uriance. It is not strange that this paradise of flowers and fruit is much frequented by tho inhabitants of tho crowded, dirty town. No ono can ride through these fair gardens and fail to perceive why the worship of .the old Sidonians was so closely connected with tho grove, and how from nature's rich profusion about them they learned to worship tho idea of fertility, which was tho essence of their religion. Tho ancient Sidbn, too, was not crowded down close by the sea, but was situated farther back in tho plain, and thus was enriched by a ring of em erald. On tho outskirts of tho gardens we came to tho catacombs of old Sidon, which havo been excavated by tho French. In the soft limestone rock ex tend long series of connected chambers which havo contributed a few rudo statues, several sarcophagi aud mum mies to tho very few mementos which wo have of that enterprising people who secured their alphabet in Egypt and carried it to Greece, and thus trans mitted, with certain changes, the letters with which wo communicate our 19th century ideas. More of the resthctic art of Phoenicia is to be recn today in Athens than in all Palestine. There in tho Mycenra room one can see the richly inlaid daggers, tho beautiful ornaments and the facsimiles of tho beaten gold cups which were also manufactured by these artisans of oriental antiquity to grace the temple of Solomon at Jerusa lem. Ever ruin of that ancient world, whether in Phoenicia or not, when laid bare bears ample testimony to tho skill and enterprise of this Semitic nation of traders. Leaving theso old tombs and tho thoughts that they inspired, we were soon studying Phoenicia as she appears today. On our left extended the Leba non range, while in tho distance rose Mount Hermon, clad in snow, glistening like Pentelicus marble in the midday sun. On tho right was tho blue sea, in to which wo ero long took a plunge. Be fore U3 tho narrow bridle path extended, now through fertilo although only half cultivated fields, now over a rocky prom ontory, which often jutted into the sea, Habitations were raro and generally huddled together for protection against the Arab incursions. On tho highways wo often met theso modern representatives and probable de fendants of tho ancient Midianites Tall, muscular fellows, with tho dark Semitic countenance and black beard, clad with tho striped abba, a square pieco of goat hair cloth folded and sewed above the shoulders, the chief garment of tho patriarchs and the mantle of Eli jah the Tishbite. Underneath they wore the kimbcz, the long flowing tunic, which appeared when they threw back their abbas. About then: heads was tight ly wrapped the silken kefiyeh, crowned with tho two heavy goat hair coils, which encircled tho tops of their heads like a large, black serpent. About the waist was lightly bound tho girdle, adorned with huge, odd shaped knives, or, if he be a civilized Arab, with pistols. An ugly looking speer 15 or 20 feet long completed the outfit, an outfit well calculated to engender green envy in tho heart of an American cowboy. A little detour, enabled us to visit tho black tents of Kedar, tho abode of these perennial campers out. It is a rectangular edifice 15 or 20 feet long, supported on poles which 40 or 50 centuries of inherited ex perience has taught them to skillfully place at exactly tho right angle. This palace of thickly woven goat hair cloth is held in position by strong guy ropes. The sides arc raised or lowered at will, according to the position of tho sun or tho direction of the wind. Within a curtain separates the wom en's apartment from the common re ception room. Tho cooking outfit, liko the dwelling, is characterized by its se vere simplicity, since fortunately tho Arab does not demand a many course dinner, and long years of practice have taught him to dispense with a super fluity of dishes, which is generally more than ono for a family.

Few Schoolboohs In the Home. Thero is one effect of the law requir ing towns to provide free textbooks for schools that will operate a little against tho public good, though probably not seriously. This is that scholars go out from tho schools at graduation without the little stock of schoolbooks as private property common to former yeara. In many households these schoolbooks comprised in the main the family li braries, and they havo doubtless in thousands of instances been sources of information and means of study to "chil dren of a larger growth" in tho homo circle. Now tho books havo almost en tirely disappeared from the country stores, and the citizen who wants ono has to send abroad for it. A Maine man who tried to purchase a textbook the other day in a villago containing 40 stores couldn't find one for sale. Low ision Journal. Manners at a Tea Drinking;. On one point at least we may con gratulate ourselves, and that is on the improvement in tea table manners. Some old fashioned folk used to signal ize the conclusion of their tea drinking by turning tho cup upside down in the saucer. In other circles the recognized sign of a disinclination for more tea was the placing of the spoon in the cup in stead of in the saucer. When the queen's first prime minister, Lord Melbourne, was a lad, residing at Glasgow in tho house of one of tho university professors about tho end of tho last century he wrote to his mother an account of the Glasgow table manners. "We drink healths at dinner," he writes, "hand round the cake at tea and put our spoons into our cups when we desiro to have no more exactly in the same manner that we used to behave at Hatfield, at Eton and at Cambridge." All the Year Round. An Odd Kind of a Club. The Locust Grove Swimmers, had a dinner once a year, and each- saan, whether member or guest, was obliged to eat a whole duck and ono complete lemon pie. Ho who cleaned his plates most effectually was presented with a piece of silver plate. Suspended over the dining table was a great wooden paddlo, which was taken down when the toasting began. The significance of tliis article became apparent when a mem ber, in responding to a toast, told a story which had been heard before. Another member whistled "Anld Lang Syne" and finished the story, thus proving that ho had heard it before, and tho paddle was put into vigorous uso upon tho of fender. New York Times. Oddities Abont Men' Weight. Professor Huxley declares that the proper weight of man is 154 pounds, made up as follows: Muscles and their appurtenances, 63 pounds; skeleton, 24 pounds; skin, 10$ pounds; fat, 28 pounds; brain, 3 pounds; abdominal viscera, 11 pounds; blood (that which would drain from tho body), 7 pounds. Tho heart of such a man should beat ,75 times in a minute, and he should breath 15 times during each minute. At that rate, in 24 hours ho would vitiato 1,750 cubic feet of pure air to the extent of 1 per cent. In tho same length of time he should throw off through tho skin 18 ounces of water, 300 grains of solid matter and 400 grains of carbonic acid. Philadelphia Press. Effect of Sun and Moon on Steel.

The writer remembers a case of a dy ing woman some few years ago in Sus sex. Sho was gasping, and apparently was undergoing tho last struggle in great distress. Tho nurse went to tho window and opened it. At onco the dying wom an breathed deeply and expired. The writer said to the nurse, "Why did you open tho window?' The answer given was, "Surely you wouldn't have her soul go up tho chimney?' Popular Science Monthly. Navigation on the Nile. From the beginning of winter to tho end of spring that is, while the Nile is navigable the north wind blows steadi ly up stream with sufficient force to drive sailing boats against tho current at a fair pace, while, on the other hand, the current is strong enough to carry a boat without sails down against tho wind, ex cept when it blows a gale. That is why ancient Egypt did not need steam power nor electric motors for tho immense commerce that covered the Nile, nor for the barges carrying building material for hundreds of miles.
