Hetty Green's fortune now Is con servatively estimated at $‘<!>.(MX).000. Home ¡fersons say she la worth $125.. 000,000, and they may not be fat from right. Her known investments foot up an enormous sum For instance, she has is real estate, txmds. mortgages and notes on Manhattan security to the umouut of $25,000.000; in western rail roads, Florida Iambi and coast invest ments she has $20.000.000; in stock in vestments, including industrial shares, she has $15.000.000. and in farming lauds throughout the west and in Chi cago holdings she has $20,000.000. She put $20.0iX>.000 In western railroads that her son, Edward H. R. Green, might become a railway magnate, a man of affairs, and have a chance to succeed in life. An Interview with Hetty Green Is like five minutes in a shower batb—It is invigorating. Her sharp, decisive speech, her pungent remarks, ready wit. her scathing passages regarding all she disapproves, her approving grunt which goes as an indorsement, form quite a contrast to tbe common places Interviewers usually have to endure. But Mrs. Green is not an easy woman to reach. She has not teen many newspaper men in her life. She hates them. And what is more, she is not backward in saying so. If she is tn the midst of some litigation she will see a newspaper man. He becomes harmless beside lawyers. Not that she hates tbe newspaper men less, but that she hates the lawyers more. As you approach Mrs. Green she will turn sharply and grasp her famous reticule in which she carries her keys, handkerchief, a few other oddments ind frequently some securities worth a couple of millions of dollars. You will notice she signs her checks with a com mon steel pen. Every one else tn tbe bank uses the usual bunkers' gold pen. but one of tbe ordinary schoolgirl stripe is good enough for Mrs. Green. Now. let us ask tbe complex creature to what she owes her business success. Here is her answer: "My business creed is sound, and. best of all. it is put tnto practice. It is not a theory to be ignored. If you owe a man a dollar pay him a dollar, a good dollar, on tbe day it Is due. Don't pay him a dollar and a quarter, and don't try to pay him 99 cents Then be will know you are neither a knave nor a fooL If you find a dis honest man in your employ get rid of him quietly if you can. but let him go This Is not harsh. It Is justice to bon est men and proper justice to men who violate their faith, if you have a fool around you let him go. I carVt abide a fool, and I have no use for a crook. There may be some about me but most of the time I know it.” “What about women. Mrs. Green?" "I have told yon eveiy woman ought to work. If women worked more we would see fewer divon-es But wbat can you expect? Some women never learn to keep bouse They get mar ried. and their sole ambition is to wear fine clothes, bleach their hair and wear fine ribbons and laces Home Is the last place they want to think of They go iiaradlng around with tbelr vulgar style and think they are beauties Poor things! They never get sense " Power of the Prose. The productions of tbe press, fast as steam can make and carry them, go abroad through all the land, silent as snowflakes, but potent as thunder.

DRNUN6 WATER WITH MEALS b SOMETIMES BENEFICIAL Occasionally one bears conflicting assertions in regard to the wholesome* nesa of the practice of drinking water at meal time; these assertions being often based upon hearsay or unfounded im pressions. Somewhat recent physiologi cal studies indicate that while tbe drink ing of water with meals has no appar ent effect upon tbe utilisation of tbe fats, sugars «nd starches, its copious use does result in the better digestion and absorption of the ingested protein—that tissue building constitute which is tbe most abundant of the solids in lean meat, eggs, and cheese, and that constitutent which also characterises certain other foods. Tbe conclusion to be arrived at, then, is that the use of water as a beverage, with meals, is a desirable practice. It may be added that drinking generous quantities of water during tbe course of the day is an important health measure in tbe up-keep of the general health of the body. An unfortunate eating habit is that of depending upon water as an aid to swallowing food. If one has not learned to thoroughly masticate food—swallow ing it without the aid of a beverage— then it would seem wise to subscribe to the creed of the “dry eaters.”—L. M. K. A. Boo’s Double Stomach. The bee has two distinct stomachs. In the first it stores away the honey it so industriously gathers up from the flowers until such time as it is ready to yield it up. while thp other stomach is used simply and solely for digestion purposes. Thus the food and the honey are never mixed. When the bee re turns to the hive and is ready to de posit the honey it has gathered It con tracts the muscles of the stomach, by which act the honey Is ejected through the mcvith. As to bee food. It is vari ous in kind, consisting largely of the honey it so patiently makes for other« No "Poor Land." “That land of yours was mighty poor when you bought It.” a friend of ours remarked to the wide awake owner of a beautiful farm we passed the other day. whereupon the owner delivered himself of a faithful saving and wor thy of all acce|<ation—or mighty near ly so. "You're mistaken,” he said. “There's not any poor land when you manage It right.” It is a true rule that “there is more In the man than t.tere la in the land "—Progressive Farmer. Superstitions of Royalty. Caesar, Napoleon. Bismarck and oth. era were not above the superstition of "lucky" and "unlucky” days.
