The announcement that the vast
property accumulated by the lute
William Welghtmnu, of Philadelphia,
had paused by will to his daughter,
Mrs. Walker, and that therohy ahe bo
came the richest woman lu America,
was followed on tho next day by tho
gathering of such a crowd ulxnit her
residence as to destroy hor private life.
Hho was unable to go out of doors and
unable to keep the push away from
hor neighborhood. At every attempt
that she made to take a carriage there
was such a rush toward her that she
had to gtvo up tho plan. niche are
supposed to havo their chief value lu
bringing to their possessor the means
of securing whatever he wauta. Ono
of tho tiling we all most want is tho
privilege of moving about undisturb
ed nnd making what use we wish of
our time. This overwhelmingly rich
Philadelphia woman starts off a pris

In spite of cynical data to the con
trary, Diogenes would havo no occwalon
to keep hts lautorn alight very loug
these days. Honest men aro by no
means so rare as they aro reputed to
bo. The Chicago street sweeper who
found a diamond bracelet worth $2,000
and returned It to Its owner would
probably havo answered Diogenes' re
quirements. So would tho Now York
street car conductor who found $l,ROu
in bank nutos on the tloor of hU our
aud promptly hunted up tho owner
thereof, These- aro Incidents which
have como to light becauso of their
quasi-public character, Wo may ho
suro that there aro hundreds of others
which uro not heard of. Indeed, most
people kuow of such cases. Tho truth
Is nd It is an encouraging one that
pseyls aro far more houest than they
are credited with being. If It were
not so human actirity would como to a
practical standstill, slnco the ultimate
bnsls of all business transactions la
honesty. Without it no precaution
which ingeifuity could doviso would bo
sulllclent to protect against general
dishonesty. The element of honesty en
ters into all transactions. Man trusts
his fellow man to a greater or less ex
tent every tlmo ho bus or sells any
thing relies on his good faith for tho
accuracy of his representations and
places conHdeuce in verbal pledges
more than In written bonds. Cynicism
alono regards humanity as naturally
dishonest. Observation and experience
show the reverse to be the case. Men
are naturally honest It is usually
stress of adversity or misfortune which
makes them otherwise.
Everybody, male and female, old and
young, ought to learn to swim. Borne
people try all their lives to learn to
swim and do not succeed. They do not
appear to be timid or afraid of the
water, and they follow faithfully all
tho instructions given them, and yet
thoy make no progress whatever. Tho
ability to swim will not always save
a man's life. Ho may fall Into Uie
water from such n height and plunge
so deep oh never to regain control of
himself. Tho water may be so cold
ns to parnlyxo him and stop his breath.
He may bo ho far from help that his
strength will glvo out Ho may havo
on so many clothes that they may sink
him. A man may even drown because
ho Is a good swimmer. Ills very ex
pcrtuww may mako him rockle.t, and If
he Is of a heroic turn he Is apt to lose
his life trying to save other. All this
does not alter the fact that people
should bo able to swlln. Tho ability to
swim six feet or keep afloat for Ave
minutes may save their lives and en
able them to save others. Then tho
ability to swim delivers them from an
inordinate dread of the water. In any
ordinary situation whero the shore is
not distant and the water la not cold
they could not regard a plunge in any
other light tlmn as a laughable adven
ture when otherwise it is a matter of
life and duith. The pleasure of life
aro greatly enhanced for the man who
even knows that he could swim a few
yards. Learning to swim is one of the
moit Inscrutable things In human na
ture. What does it consist iuT Every
ono has soen beginners make all the
strokes correctly and still sink to the
.bottom. Hy and by these same begin
ners will make tho same strokes and
float on top of tho water. What Is the
difference in their movement T It ap
pears to be nothing but confidence in
one's self, and, strange to say, wiien
this confidence is onco acquired it U
never lost though a person may not
go Into the water for ten years. In
tome places peoplo learn to swim by
using a roduclble float of some kind.
This may bo a plank made in sections
that aro screwed tok other. Tho pupil
learns to swim on Uio whole plank and
then gradually reduces it in nlse until
he la ablo to dispense with It altogeth
er. Tills Is a stmplu and cheap expo-
dlont and leaves no excuse for anyone
who cannot swim.
CHILE 18 RICH IN MINERALS.
Coal,
Nitrates ml Copper Abound In
Houth Amerlcuii Country.
Tho famous coal mines of Lota and
Coronel have an annual yield of 1,000,
000 tons aud employ U.000 laborers.
This not only supplies Chile's needs,
but also coals nearly all tho European
steamers touching the borders. Tho
coal is what Is termed "soft," but it is
of good quality. The country Imports
some hard coal.
The most Important mineral Industry
Is, of course, the nitrate of soda. Chile
at present hss over 100 nitrate works.
The crude material (called caliche), is
found under a conglomerate, in beds
varying from a few Inches to twelve
feet In thickness. The process of ex
traction is one of leeching and refining
by cryatalttatlon. About 1,400,000 met
ric tons of 2,201 pounds each are an
nually produced, estimated to be worth
fot.000,000 In Kurope.
About four-fifths of all the nitrate
ei ported goes to Knglaud and the con
tinent. Or eat Britain alone taking one
third and Germany a little less. A
large amount of British capital Is in
vested lu tho nitrate fields, sixteen of
the largest companies alone represent
ing a capitalisation of more than 90,
000,000, The Chilean government ex
aots a duty of 911.52 a ton on all nit
rate exported.
In metal mining copper comes first,
both as to present output aud further
opportunity, The country needs mod
ern metallurgical processes aud knowl
edge of successful methods of han
dling low-grade ores. The present pro
duction Is 30,000 tons of copper annu
ally, Manganeso Is also an Important
Industry, Hllver, onco very highly prof
itable, has declined; 74,000 kilograms of
silver were exported In 1100. Promis
ing gold deposits exist, especially lu
southern Chile; 130,000,000 lu gold,
gold ores and matte, have beon ex
ported lu the pnst ten years. Kugln

A street cleaului; machluu has re
cently been tested In New York which
contains many features of Interest. It
Is drawn by a couple of horses, and
performs all the functions of a street
cleaning gaiiK, except scraping the
roadway with tho rubber squeegees
which aro used on asphalt, A revolv
ing broom sweeps the dirt to a convoy,
or, lifting It Into a covered bin. Just
lu front of tho broom there is a hori
zontal pipe through which Jets of water
aro sprayed on the street so as to pre
vent dust. Tho dirt collected lu tho
bin ta distributed uniformly through
It by means of a scraper, and when the
bin Is tilled It can bo dtichnrKed Into
a cart, or on the ground lu a heap, hy
letting down a door aud scraping tho
content out by a simple form of con
vejor. The water is carried lu n tnnV

Not many years after a boy hns
