The delusion that there Is no ! more satisfying purjiose than the ac i cumulation of money Is the chief ob stacle In the way of man's happiuess. Young Alfonso begins his reign with a treasury almost empty, but if he can sell a few more insurrections at S'Ju. Cm,ixh apiece he ought to be able to meet current expenses and perhaps lay up something against a rainy day. A New York paper calls attention to the fact that it Is felony to stamp a piece of lead a nickel or a quarter, while it is not a crime to stamp white sand as sugar. This is perhaps because the crime iu each case consists in being found out. "To keep up your French?" related the old teacher, whose favorite pupil was lamenting that, sin -e graduation, she found no time to study. "Well, to read ten minutes a day is not much but ten minutes every day is much." The trouble with those of us who ac complish little is that we dwell upon "ten minutes" instead of emphasizing "every da v." "What does tne university require of Its president?" inquire a v.riier in tt current magazine. Well, the recent weight of opinion seems to no that he outtht to be a combination of the church debt-raiser, the gold urick operator an 1 the moral philosopher. As such men are rather rare, some col leges have had to be content with ex ecutives who are strong on the two Drst-named qualifications, but a little hafcy on the third. Auction-room rivalries do not ulways end so pleasantly or with such credit to both parties as did the recent sale in Hew Y'ork, the sequel to which Is that the Metropolitan Art Museum becomes the owner of Hubens' painting of "The Holy Family," which is said to be the most notable painting ever offered at a public sale. Two men bid for It. One, who desired to present the picture to the Metroolitan Museum, ottered forty-nine thousand dollars, Lut the pic ture went to his rival on a hid of fifty thousand. It then developed that the purchaser wished to give the painting to a museum iu the West. The two men got together and talked the matter over, and the conference ended iu an agreement on the part of the purchaser to allow the other bidder to have tne painting for the sum he had paid, in order that it might go to the Metropoli tan Museum. It ought to be a matter for rejoicing that such a noble picture Is to he forever a possession of the American people. Rev. Uenry Itasmus is right when he ays that a woman's truest capital is not In her beauty of face but loveliness of character. He carries the matter farther than circumstances warrant, however, when he says "it was the wisdom of the Almighty to give to womanhood a retiring disposition. Eve took the intiutive in family matters in the Garden of F.den, and gave a con trolling direction to et-erything that has occurred since that time. Sarah, the wife of Abraham, decided the fate of nations, and Itebekah's cunning de vices had far-reaching political effects. The fact Is that progressive woman hood of the modern type Is not essen tially different from the old-fashioned sort. In both cases they have usually made, not to say taken, every advan tage of their opportunities In further ing their own power. There is abun dant evidence to show that women are of "a retiring disposition" when they are forced to retire, but this does not by any means prove Dr. Rasmus' point, that the Almighty gave to wom an a retiring disposition.

In addition to this very considerable gaiu tuere is the advantage of giving em ployment to several kinds of workers, and of providing the final owner with garments so skillfully renovated as to be much better than those to be bought elsewhere for the same money. Altogether, the clearing-house scheme Is so admirable that one wishes a simi lar plan might be devised for the brains of some of us.

Something curious lu the shape of fake oil paintings are now on the mar ket. They are such poor imitations, however, that It is easy for one to de tect their real character almost at a glance. These pictures, generally copies of famous paintings of the nude figure, are simply chronios pasted upon a can vas. The background aud surroundings are then painted over in oil, and also parts of the figures, especially the clothing or drary. but when it conies to the exposed body. faee. head. etc.. the very parts where the greatest amount of skill would be necessary in painting, they are left untouched by the painter's brush. Going into a store and asking the price of these seemingly beautiful oil paintings, the prospective purchaser Is astonished when the dealer snys t- or something lower, and turning the bogus painting up to the light, he soon sees that It Is only a cheap chromo, over cer tain parts of which a little paint has been daubed. reign began the typewriter has beea I only child.

In the late reign the private secretaries were supposed to, and actually did, write every letter with their own pens, but when Edward VII. ascended the throne a modern change was quickly Introduced, saving a large amount of time aud labor. All sorts of conditions of people write to the King. Many of the envel opes bear no stamps, as if Buckingham Palace were a government office, and some are boldly addressed in a pencil scrawl. The East End postmark is a predom inant feature: there are many poor peo ple, who, alas', fondly believe the Klag can redress their grievances and miti gate their woes by a wave of his hand. It is no secret, however, that In sev eral Instances, after discreet Inquiries have been made, suffering has been re lieved in poor districts as the result of a letter to the King of Queen. Usual ly the channel of relief is one of the philanthropic societies, of which his majesty Is either a patron or Interested in, to whose office the deserving letter is privately forwarded.

It does not Insure a per fect digestion, which Is the basis of good health, to use West Philadelphia city water. It Is not healthful to breathe sewer gas In bouses the plumb ing of which has been passed by an Inspector who receives Christmas gifts from the plumber. There are many other conditions which are not favora ble to the best physical health. How ever, in spite of other drawbacks and disadvantages, there is every warrant to affirm that never has the standard of health, strength and agility beeu as high as It is to-day.

Clark Howell of the Atlanta Consti tution was driving with a New York friend along, a roadway in tieorgla. The Northerner noticed that mauy of the negroes along the way took off their hats as the carriage passed. "They seem to know you pretty gen erally down here," he said to his host. "Oh. no. They don't," replied the latter. "Then why do they bow?" "That," said Mr. Howell. "Is one of the privileges we allow the darkies down here." New York Times. Whistling Language l'ed. The aborigines of the Malabar Islands employ a perfect whistling language, by means of which they can communi cate with each' other over long dis tances. A stranger wandering over the Islands is frequently surprised to hear from a hilltop the sound of loud whistl ing, which is quickly repeated on lue next hill, and so is carried from summit to summit until It dies away in the distance. American Looms Abroad. American ribbon looms are being im ported by Swiss manufacturers. These looms are much more expensive than those made in Switzerland, even leav ing freight and duties out of account but the manufacturers find It profit able to use them because of their great solidity of construction and the much larger amount of work they do.

HAD WHOLE CAR TO HERSELF Woman Journeyed from Atlanta to Washington in Solitary Grandeur. A plucky Southern woman scored a victory over a grasping corporation re cently and is one of the proudest of ber sex in consequence. She got on a Pullman car attached to the South ern's train at Birmingham and showed a ticket aud a Pullman car coupon for w ashlngtou. hen the train arrived at Atlanta it was found that the wom an was the only passenger on the car ticketed for the North. When she was asked to transfer to another car at tached to the North bound train she produced her Pullman coupon from her card case and said: "This ent.tles me to a section In this car to Washington." "That Is all right madam." renlled the conductor. "Other arrnnemUi.io have been made and this car will not go through." "1 think it will," said the lady. "My coupon says I am to ride lu this car to Washington and I don't propose to leave the car." Efforts of the officials to make the womau leave the Pullman were in vain. She was perfectly cool and de termined and finally the railway offi cials admitted defeat by attaching the Pullman with its single passenger to the North-bound train and carrying it through to Washington. The car was without a conductor or porter and pas sengers along the way thought it a deadhead car. hut J. M. Culp. traffic manager of the Southern, and J. I. Cox, of Atlanta, a soliciting freight agent for the road, who were on the train, told the story of the occurrence at Atlanta and admitted defeat for their company. The name of the worn an was not given by the Southern offi cials. She was well dressed and dis tinguished looking.
