Dr. B. W. Richardson... of , London, m
an address to workiuguieh.at the cou
gm of the Sanitary institute of Great
Britain, declared that "Work, . to an nil
'work and that, too, of a resolute kind
is alisolntely necessary f or every man.'
Be spoke also . f the inipor tauce of lo
ing one's work, not merely to get it
'done, bat with a feeling of pride in' do
ing it well. lit this connection he said:
I was invited not many years ago to
.lecture at St. Andrew's university and
to listen .in the evening to a lecture by
another man. like myself, an outsider.
I was not personally acquainted with
this other man. but I knew that he filled
u important judicial office in Scotland,
and was considered one of. the, most able
and learned, as well, as one of the witti
est men in the country. -.He
chase for his subject "Self Cnlt
. are," and for an honr held us in a perfect
&ream of pleasure... For my own part 1
oould not realize that the hour had fled.
The lecture ended at 7 o'clock, and at 6
1 found myself seated at dinner by Lht .
aide of the lecturer at the house of one of
,tbe university professors.:, , In -the course
of the. dinner I made some .reference to
.the hall in " which the exercises of the
U hal Ivjuti IiaI Vi i nr mvul it- ll'uc fir
sound and what a fine structure to look
opon. ,
'And did you like the way in which
the stones were laid inside?" asked my
new friend. " ' '
Immensely," I replied. "The man
who laid those stones was an artist who
-must have thought- that his work would
live through the ages." ' ., . '
. "Well, that is pleasant to hear," be
said, "for tho walls are my ain doing."
He had the Sootoh accent when he was
in earnest. ' ' -
'Fortunate man," I replied, "to have
the means to' build so fine a place," for I
thought, naturally enough, that being n
"rich man he had built this hall at his
own expense and presented it to the uni
versity. .tFortuuate, truly," he answered, "but
not in that sense. What I mean is that
I laid every one of those st-ones with, my,
ain hand. I was a working mason, and
the builder of the hall gave me the 'job'
f laying the inside stone work, and I
never bad auy job in my life in which I
took so lunch pride and so -much pleas
ure." That workman still lj ves, and is one
of the heads of the' university. While he
was working with his hands he was
working ' also with his brain. ' He took
bis degree, went to the bar, and now he
is a man honored throughout the coun
try. - '-' '
But I refer to him here only as the
mason at his work, proud of his labor.
That man had the idea of the paradise.
It sweetened his work; it made it great.
We applauded his brilliant lecture, but
those silent, beautiful stones before him,
which echoed our applause, must. 1 think,
have been to him one cheer more, and a
' big one. ' "

she went on, "most of my intimates do

that nowadays I do not know any of the
people who do keep carriages. Quite an
inverse ratio, is it not?" she concluded
witnaiangn ana a sigh. When one

"Hardly. As soon as the icicle melted

"An extraordinary escape, truly per

. Cassell'B Journal.
The greatest rivalry among railroad
men is in the getting out of guide boon
Several years ago a ..rich southern rail
road published a luxuriously gotten up
book as handsome as almost any example
of a rich edition of Shakespeare that men
and women display upon a parlor center'
table It was thought -then that tne
limit of enterprise and expenditure had
been reached, and that there never would
be anything finer bearing the imprint of
a genera) passenger office.
But that elegant volume is almost for
gotten now Its .defects, were that its
pictures were ready . made, and repre
sented a low grade of art, .while the
letter press, or reading matter,; was tne
work of the genera passenger agent a
clever man but not a professional, writer.
Today no such ' pictures and no such
writing. is accepted for .a representative
guide iiook.
. A school of artists has . grown up to
meet the demand for such work, and
they are salaried by the big printing and
bank note engraving companies that get
ont these books.. They produce careful,
artistic and clever pictures, ami manage
to give them the appearance of the
choicest pictures in the magazine.
As a matter of fact, the latest guide
books are imitations of the magazine in
every particular except that they in
clude no advertising pages. But the
more wealthy railroads will .not employ
these professional guide book illustrat
ors They secure high class artists who
Are too independent to sign their names
to what they do, but provide the best
work of which they are capable, because
they are better paid for it than ' for any !
other work that they do. .
- BIG PRICES PAID FOR WORK.
Men who study such matters are able
to recognize -the personality of the art-
Eta in their methods of drawing, and
such persons often see a painting or a
tudy or a picturesque place in one ot
the art galleries or at an art sale at the
Same time that they , receive a copy of
some guide .hook illustrating other beau
ty spots, in the same region in a set of
drawings by the .very same artist, who
has . been whirled hither and thither in
that part of the country in a special .car
at the expense of the railroad company
that monopolizes the traffic.
In that same car with the artist goes
the general passenger agent, but he no
longer writes the matter in the book.
He has secured the services of some
well known literary man of the second
or third class to describe the region with
his pen for a higher rate of remunera
tion than the writer could get for any
other work. Two thousand dollars is
below the highest price that has been
paid for the illustrations in a single gnide
book, and in all probability no first class
book of the kind has been written for
less than $500
These books have ' been poured from
the presses of the nest printers in the
"country in editions of from 5,000 to 10,-
000 cotiies, and. have cost tho railroads
from five to twenty cents a copy. : Some
are designed to appear like novels, some
like stories ot adventure and some like
books of travel Their titles are such as
ara likely . to-4rove attractive to large
bodies of citizens.

show what sort of bait they throw to
the public, they may be said to be named

KOMH MOTABUK PECULIARITIES.
Some of the very best map making
that hits been done in this country has
grown out of the competition in guide
books. - Just at present the rage is for
bird's eye, views, however, and these are
cleverly made to show every hill and
stream and village aud patch of forest
in vast areas of country. They all omit
every indication. of marsh- land, and, nil
are printed with green ink, in order to
produce the most astonishing effects
of universal: greenery, shade and cool- j
ness. - ,
It is a noticeable characteristic of all j
them that they show only one railroad, j
never any more." No guide - book pub- j
lished exhibits Chicago as accessible by i
more than oue railroad, and enormous
tracts like North Dakota and .Utah ur
suade to appear to depend upon- a single
line of rails for their means of internal
traffic- In such maps railroads seem to
reach a degree of; perfection that is not
noticed by those who travel most upon
them. - ! -
' For instance, they are always straight,
direct lines from point to point, precisely
like the great highway that Nicholas
marked down . npon the map of Russia
with a pencil and a ruler ia order to
show his engineers how he would con
nect Moscow with St. Petersburg. Not
even the Rocky mountains are; able to
hinder the absolutely straightforward
course, of any railroad. . On, the maps
the line of the tracks goes straight along
past the mountains as if they. were .mere
ruts in a wheat field. The reading mat
ter in the guide books shows that each
railroad avoids mosquitoes anil malarial
regions with the same success.
- Where there are no mosquitoes the
writers say so, and where they are a
thick as peas in, a pod the most dignified
silence ia, maintained with-; regard, to
them. But there one sees how greatly
competition .has. elevated .this, cliiss ,o
literature, for only a few years ago these
books were as unreliable as the old
fashioned circus posters. . They do not
lie today. The next thing will be that
they will tell the truth. New York Sun.
