"Resolved, that it Is bet ter.td lr a millionaire than any- other kiid of a man," and one member dera .'on-iraiea-that It was. only' slightly more desirable to be a millionaire than a ror man somewhat as follows: rj've narurd it out that the mimpnalre only has the best of the poor man eight and a half hours: out of the" twenty-four, anilribere are tw-jity-four hours In a tiny ror the rich and poor alike. We all have to sleep and every healthy man ought to sleep at least eijfht hours each day; we can't spend money wmie we sieep, inererore the porjf man a Just as well off as the rich man a third of each day, for they are both dead to the world, and the rich man don't' know whether he Is sleeping In a" mahogany- hedwlth a camel's hair ntattrefiK on -or a' bench. Thin every man has to rat. and If, the poor man putt In a half hour at a meal to the rich man's hour, ench me enjoys his meal, the rich man because he has the Heastire-of ; soelng bis meal dished op In style, and the poor man because he Is tccx and hungry, so 'the poor man has half as good a "time In his hour and "a half as the rich man In his .three hours. That makes nine, and a half hours when they are equally well ; Oft. Kat ft man Is supposed to be In business and has to spetid an hour going to and from Itf by street car or the like, and there Is no "time to blow yourself on a street car, so yiere Is another hour, or ten and a half, containing the same amount; of comfort and happtnessj, fc IKior man and millionaire. Then when they are" at work both forget for :( the tlm that they are rich or poprl. For the sake of argument we'll! suppose that they work from ten until three, with 'one hour for lunch, the; average hours -of a banker: " he can't spend money on himself while he works.be; yond smoking 1 a few cigars neither can the-' poor martr who works J.elght hours and smokes a pipe; which to hlr taKte Is as flne; as a Fanatella, and ten to one If the millionaire Isn't sweating over some deal that worries him.ri 8o we'll call the millionaire and the work-N Ing man horsfs and horse during work- Ing hours,; four of them at any rate and there's fourteen hours and a hall when the poor man Is just as happy as the rich man After dlnneryor sapper, most merr read their papers for ; n hrnir- the Boor man Isn't thinking -of his poverty or his clothes or what knd of furniture there Is around him; 'so there is fifteen hours and a half when tl,cipc" tnan Is having just as good time as It he had a mtnton dollars But for the other eight hours and a, half thfe miiiinnnlrA has the best of iti "I-have Wn. trying Co figure It out some wa th;it I can take . ott three "or ' four more hours.

THE COIN IS PILING UP. The surplus In the United States Treasury Is piling up, notwithstanding the abolition of all the late war taxes, which went Into effect July 1st last. The amount of cash In the treasury at the close of business on the 29th ult. was Illght "water mark tn the treasury was June 20th, the end of the last4 fis cal year, when the cash in the treasury was 1208,077,694. It had been expected that the expenditures which In the flrst month of the fiscal year are always un usually heavy, would carry th cash in the treasury far beIo,w the two hun dred million mark, but this did not oc cur. The tremendous growtn ot me business of the country Is going for j ward much more rapidly than the work of Congress In reducing revenues to off set It. ' " Receipts' were on Xuly 29th; for In stance, 2275,561 more than tbe.expendU tures. For tHe- twenty-eight days of July they are 143.585,189.99, as against 145,432.327.26 for the same period last year, f The receipts tor customs nave been 12.500,000 more, and the receipts from Internal revenue have been In round, numbers about $5,000,000 lesiC- Judging from the way the fiscal year is beginning there will be a far larger surplus than $23,000,000, which was es llmated by the secretary of the treas ury. The, surplus at the" end of the flscsl year just closed wait $93000,000; for the next year It is liable to be near ly , $50,000,000fc unless, there ,1s a' great business depression, which Is not . now anticipated., ' ' CIGARETTE SMOKING BEING PRO HIBITED. pr. Charles II. SCowjeJi Is the author bran article on the subject of "The Cigarette and the Coming Business Man." it being a rational consideration it the effects on boys and young men of smoking cigarettes. 115 gives several easons for opposing the cigarette habit f boys under 21 jrears of age,:vU: , II essens the natural appetite for food md injures digestion, seriously affects the nervoua system, lowers the moral tene. creates a craving for strong drink. Is a filthy and offensive habit. ' Is ex pensive, is unlawful in nearly every tate in fhe Un!on.l should not be per mitted by employers. A few months ago J. C. Ayer &. Co of Lowell, Mass., posted announcements throughout their buildings to the effect that after a cer tain date they would not employ any young man under 21 years of age who wnokes cigarettes, the . Arm - believing ihat smoking cigarettes Is Injurious to mind and body, thereby unfitting young men for their best work. , , The full text of some of the reasons et forth by tr.'Stowell may be of In- erest to the reader, consequently thejl ire given 4n the following: . It lessens the Natural Appetite for Food and Injures Digestion. Any close observer will know at once how true s this statement. The boy who smokes hassa bad digestion and a poor apne tKe. Because of this Interference with appetite and digestion, the food ,1s not proporely digested and assimilated, cel lular activity Is checked, and the rrowth and development of the body is eriously interfered wKb by this early poisoning. . . , - v. x "It Serionsly Affects the Nervous System We often hear about the to bacco heart' of the adult. If tobacco s strong enough to affect the beating tt the adult heart, how much stronger must Its effect on the heart of a young erson, long before tissues have become fixed. The rush of blood to the head, the dizziness, the unsteady ''beating of he heart, the distressing dreams all how how seriously Is the n re vous sys tem affected.- - It Lowers the Moral Tone. Another most serious cnarge against tne tlgar- tte is that It. lowers the moral tone. Iioys Mho would not tell a lie on any other matter, not for a fortune, our best nl noblest boys, da not seem to hei- ite a moment to tell any kind of a'f eep from their falsehood in order to k arents the fact that they are smoking I tr.irettt-s. They- M ! the cig.irettes. Tli-y smoke them away from home. They try in every way to con-tal the ruJh. Indeed, th-y wi'l d all manner f thirds in order to deceive, those who re nearest and .dearest to them. "It .fa ii pes' t."ra ir.it for strong Irlnk. i Thf re lias 1 -n a grn.it deal of .

Water may, tern. - iporarlly relieve this dryness and may temporarily check the sinking sensa tion. But with the morfcl tone lowered and the mental power weakened, the desire to yield to the first temptation I s strengthened, because of the flimsy excuse that the boy must have some thing to wet his throat. And -so rt goes on. from bad to worse. - In other w ords the boy who smokes more easily accepts an Invitation to a treat than one who does not smoke. - - . ; "It Is a FIKhy, and Offensive Habit. No matter how stealthily the boy may do his work." sooner or later his cloth ing becomes saturated with the odor of -tobacco. And let me add right here. one of the' most Inexplicable things In this world Is that a well-dressed, highly accomplished young: lady will sit by the side of, a young man In a carriage or street ear. or will walk by his side In the streeVand. submit to Inhaling this most -offensive odor bad at all times. but of course Increased a thousand-fold when the -smoking machine is In full operation. , 4 . . " . 1 r ' ,; ' ; . ' ; . : ' The foregoing should apply - to all men engaged in the positions of clerks In business houses. ' The writer's at tention has been called several times to certain young and middle aged young men dry goods employes " especial ly-i- wno jnauige in the smoking habit dur ing work hours, thereby offending with their foul breath and soiled fingers' the persons on whom they are waiting. Then, again: Will not the smoke, per meate every portion of a room and sat urate the articles 'displayed for sale, making them less fit-for the customer? NEW COIN FOR PHILIPPINES.

VERY SLOW, The denudation of the Oregon" timber lands is progressing swimmingly. Some two hundred million feet of It have been shipped out of the state since the be ginning of the year. And dregon seems to think that Is all right. Chi cago Inter Ocean. f The denudation of the Oregon timber lands Is so far progressing very slowly. Two hundred millions of feet is not much for Oregon." ' But the progress of the.wprk will be very much fatter soon. - Over in Wash ington there Is" one logging camp using 250 men and sixteen r donkey engines. some of them t00 horse power engines.

We shall soon se logging camps in Oregon like the one mention ed above In Washington, and a lot of them. - - ' ' .-. ALL .THE WORLD CAN GIVE. One of the .Vanderbllts recently be ing interviewed, upon, the question of the enjoyment of great wealth, .pointed to his private secretary,; receiving a salary of $2,000 a year, and made the statement that this man working for wages worebetter clothes than he did. had as good fare as, he had. his worries were infinitely less, and his enjoyments more and greater. In -: fact, the . man with the moderate salary had a better time generally and got more out of life than the millionaire. On this same point a' writer In the San Francisco Bulletin has the following to say: : "The most that the world, can give a man Is not much, and yet It Is enough. A - good bed, good food, good clothes, work enough and play enough, a bath tub, a case of books a good wife-and a few good friends what more can one ask to have.

'SUMMER PEOPLE INDUSTRY." -A writer In "The World's Work" has been investigating what Is called the "summer people Industry" of ; New Hampshire; As the state of the White Mountains, and of picturesque scenerjr generally New , Hampshire has , many visitors annually, who spend a great deal of money ; and give ' employment to' numerous persons In providing for their necessities and pleasures.

' - " ';' Ellis county Is the banner county In Kansas for the harvest hands. - The State Labor Agent has no trouble what ever In securing help for the agricul turist of that county, though he is at his wits end to get help for their neighbors in' other parts of the slate: tn fact out of 10O0 applicants for work, 20 per cent Invariably express a pref erence for Ellis county. The agent fin ally determined to discover the cause of this singular preference and, after Investigation, the mystery was solved The men have to work quite as hard In EUI as elsewhere, but they are" treated more liberally by the farmers for whom they labor. Instead of the ordinary three meals a day, they are given five: and what Is probably still more allur ing to them-they are given a glass of whiskey before each meal; and this in prohibition state. The temperance advocate will stand aghast at this, no doubt. The Ellis county farmers have studied human nature and have applied the knowledge gained to the conduct of their business. No hint has yet been given that the farmers of the other counties are contemplating following their lead, but It Is quite evident that. it and see for.UJlUI tney take some such action, Ellis: county will maintain its position as the he favorite field of the harvest h aula of Kansas.

It is customary to - hand money about among the visitors to show the. coins In their different stages of development. If the party be a numerous one the nerves of the guide are strung, to such a pitch that at the Hotel de la Monnaie in Paris the man confessed that the sight of coined gold and silver was odious to him. and that he had , come to look upon every one who visited the min) . as , a . possible robber.
