Young Mitchell pay Gallagher the compliment of being a' hard hitter ami a game tighter, but it is doubtful whether be really thinks Gallagher is made of the right "stuff."

Who Is the l-urky JallowT Talua ol lrM.Trana Tha Knvlronmanta of lllrlh A Man of Many Acelilanta The Iti-aton Wby, Without plunging very deeply into the uwtaphysiea of this mibje, we will have a few inomunts' talk ubout fate and luck. We sjieuk of a lucky fellow, meaning by that a man who is fortunate, and yet luck may b good or ill, the one quite as frequently as tb ol her. If wo mean by luck, however, an oft recurrence along the line of help or bin dnince, without iecial effort, work, thought, exertion on the ui t of him to whom the luck, good or evil, comes, why not believe in IK Home people go through life bathed In uiixhino perpetually, others walk forever in a vule of tears, and the shadow of the high mountain, imiiussublo, ungetoverable. Homo men, sunuy natured, easy tempered, limy, good for nothing fellows, to whom a thought would be a novelty, and an exercise a curiosity, find every door open at their ap pnsu h, and banquet spread with every imaginable and conceivable delicacy, with nothing to Interfere with the ongoing of their uleosure from the rising of the sun to the going down thereof, while other men, care ful, brooding, ever plodding earnestly, con- scientiously ulong first this road, then tb other, meet a continuity of disappointment and disaster,, wlilcn ansoiuieiy eusurouiui them In a gloom that Is never jienetruted by a ruy of hoie; confronted over by disappoint ment until the closing scene wipes mem from the face of the earth into the blackness of darkness liiqwnetruble, it will not lie gravely argued that birth has nothing to do with man's chances In life. I remember, when I began to work in 1WX), thinking that of all the men in the world whoso chance 1 envied, there were but two whoso opiHirluiiitie were seriously any better than mine. They were Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, whoso progress through the provinces aud tho stab's I was then chron icling for Tho Now York Times, and young Jim Dennett, whose father was then editor and proprietor of the great Journal with which his naino was synonymous. Do you mean to tell me thut young Bennett didn't have a better opisjrtuiiity for professional renown than any other young man about to embrace thut noblest profession, journalism! Unl the Prince of Wales have no ampler scoM than the other young men born In the British dominion? ut course, uinn anusociai dosi ion and iiecuuiury status have much to do with man's opjiortunities, hut when we discuss broad questions we must look with wide vision; wo must not conllne our Illus trations to extremes, but must take tbe aver ago. The nverniro man is poor, tue groat major ity very poor. If it be a fact, aud it unques tionably is, that of every 100 young men who go into mercuiitilo life ninety-live fail before they are 30 years of age, and of the other five, three get on fairly well, one makes a profound impression in his sphere and one alone becomes phenomenal, standing neaa aud shoulders ubove his fellows in all the world, where comes in the matter of luck I Where is the exception? Isn't it a fact that the groat multitudo toll and suffer through the blasts of winter and in tbe torriditio ot summer for barely enough to keep themselve from starving anil to cover their nakedness from tho jibes and snecriiigs of tbe world! I tell you tciniicrainenc decide almost everything. What would seem to one luck, of tho most growsomo uuturo, appears to another ou a similar plane of life simply au unhappy incident, tonqiorary in it nature, not lasting in its effect. Home men, worth f 100,000. groun over the luck of their neighbor who is worth $1,000,000, while an other man who cun honestly say "I am worth toduy $100,000," is so overwhelmed with rmiirmtion of his Independence, of the power in his hand to do good among the sulTei-iug und tho sick and the tired aud the weary of earth, thut be can find no words sulllf icutly rotund with which to express his satisfaction, his content, his delight. Home lieople say, "Whatever is to be will be. If I am fitted to bo rich I will have money, und if I am fated to be poor I won't have any. A man who was born to be liaiiKod will never be drowned, so whatever comes 1 bike it becauso I have got to. I didnt ask to come hero." Now that's silly. In tbe first place I don't know whether you asked to come hero or not. Neither do you. Thut two and two added together are fated to make four, yes, but are you fated! Is there any compulsion that forces you to put ono two under another two! If you stub your toe you full. Put why stub your toe! If you hack your linger with a Kmie, blood will llow, but why huck your finger! You umy assume thut you are fated to be rich. U hat difference doce your assumption make! lu order to bo rich you must be industrious, saving, scl(-sucritlciug, methodical, indus trious. Those factors enter lurgely into the problem ot success in life, aud if those factors uro properly grouHxl in your ease you will bo rich. It is a very rare combination, this honesty ot purisiso, this continuity of in dustry, this intelligent direction, but if you have them tlej result is certain, and if you huvo thcui and do not use them the result then is equally certum. You cannot raise figs ou a tlustlo tree or thistles ou a fig tree, and you cannot bring disgrace upou honor, nor can you crown dishonesty with integrity, I know a man who has lost an eye, who has broken au arm twice, who was shot through his right lung, aud whenever anything hap pens to him, ho ays: "It is Just my luck." My t': ."'id of the many accidents is a pecul iarly constituted individual. Had he looked ho wouldn't have fallen down the hatchway. Thut lie was shot through the right lung was duo to his presence iqiou tho Held ot buttle. That he lost his eye is attributable to the fact that when ho llahod his little pile of powder ho didn I shield his face, and yet be says, as accident ufter accident occurs, "It is just my luck." It is just his stupidity. And when you say that it is Jay Gould's luck, or it is Vuuderbilt's luck, or it is the luck ot this, thut and the otly.r, you at tribute to some unseen potentiality result which illicit much better be attributed to the natural forcings of perfectly well under- dorstood, but rarely possessed, elements in human nature.

I alwavs put on a bluck suit when I go to New Haven, for I cannot do business there in any other sort of clothing." New York Evening Hun. An Killtor's Pigeon Holes. When, in the midst of my writing, some thing turns up that "must go" in or before the next paier, I shove it into a pigeon hole marked "Immediate." This pigeon hole cluims Hint attention when I have breathing space. After this is cleared I turn to one marked "Advance" mutters that need time to develop, and want to be started well in advance. One marked "Current" is devoted to mat ters that ought to be attended to regularly with every Issue, though not necessarily be fore a given day. Things accumulate here sometimes, but sooner or later they are ground exceeding fine. Best of all is a pigeon bole labeled "Con tingent." It is practical, comprehensive, ami within human limits unerring; it is packed with heads and tails for which 1 know the missing extremities will some day lie crying: "Here is a curious contrivance; I want a description- of it; I saw one once; then I shall find it here" I do. "You promised." "Oh, nol" "Oh, yes! I have your letter here;" and I have, "What is the mnif s address; If 1 ever Had It it will be here;" it is. What date was it sent! There was a receipt. Look here." "Where is that circulur; thut price list; thut funny letter! What wus the size of that )age! How many did 1 count! Here!" "Oh, you want your 'Ode to a violotf I don't remember it; but if you inclosed stamps we shall surely llnd it here, without any name attached." A business man would have all these classi fied, because of a great quantity; but I have only aa "infinite variety" of "contin gencies," with ierhaps two or three of each kind; and it is easy to subdivide when the quantity presses. Every memorandum or paper which I want to forget until called for, and then find handy, I put hero; those whioh are likely not to be called for soon I put in a big drawer, which I label in my mi ni I "Remote Contingent." It is thick with tho dust of ages. U'olstun Dixey in The Writer. tjiieer dwelling Houaea. fJTho Gilbert Islander does not generally cure to have any sides to his dwelling. He seta iu tour coruor posts, about four feet high, made from the truuks of screw palms, cut olT and inverted so as to stand alone on tho stunqis of the branches. Lashed from ono to the other of these are long, slender trunks of cocouuut palms, and from these again spring pairs of rafters, which, lu their turn, support tho neatly thatched roof. The gable euils are thou closed, and the house is complete. Not a nail or a piu of any kind is used. All the beams, rafters and the thatch are secured by ingenious lashings, made gen erally from the palm leaf fiber, though some times braided from tbe owner's own hair. The floor siace is smoothed off, aud then covered with a thick bed of small, smooth pebbles or corah Ou this are spread plenty of soft, thick mats, niudo, of course, from pulm leaves, aud tbeu, with a supply of young cocoanuts at baud, with a string of shells tilled with a good supply of "toddy" hanging outside tbe house, and the huge fragment ot shuck, baked in a wide oven in tlie sand, the islander is content to eut aud sleep until hungry again. In tlie middle of every village is a "council house." This is a large hut, one that we measured being 130 feet long, 00 feet wide and tlO feet high at the ridgepole, built on the same plan as tbe dwellings, but intended as a place ot meeting, especially for the "old men," who rule each community. These "potent, grave aud reverend sciiniors" meet daily, and bear and decide ail complaints, anil issue all ordinances for the government of the people. If their decisions and ordi nances happen to meet with the approval of a majority of those interested they are adopted. If they don't, another lot are pro mulgated tne next day, and so on until the mutter is settled or dropped. San Francisco Examiner. Ad BOO-Tear Old Family.
