"Never," said the millionaire with decision. "You never regret-you see, after all money is not everything, is it?" "That observation is frequently made," said the millionaire, thought fully, "and it is misleading. Money is not everything, but it is much nearer to being everything than anything else is. There is quite a good deal of cant talked about money. It is comforting cant, of course. One gets the same kind of thing about birth. Personal ly, I always mistrust anything that comforts." "But Is it all cant? Take the ques tion of health, for instance. Money > cannot give health, and it is better to be well than to be wealthy." "I often wonder why people go on saying tuat money cannot give health, when they must see every day that money does give health, and that pov erty causes illness. If work is injuri ous to me I can afford to give it up. If I have to winter abroad I can do it easily, without considering the ques tion of expense. If an operation is re quired, I can pay the man to do it, and under the very best conditions. The poor man can do none of these things. My ordinary way of life is much more healthy than his. The food that I eat is of the best quality and in perfect condition, while he eats adulterated rubbish and stale garbage. His house is ill warmed and insanitary, and mine is perfect in these respects. Thc poor man dies, and in nine cases out of ten it serves him right" "Isn't that rather a terrible thing to say?" said the curate, nervously, playing with his sp'oon. "In nine cases out of ten poverty is the result of stupidity. You Mame a man for his moral defects, and I blame him for his mental defects; one is just as fair as the other. And both the mental and moral defects aro about equally capable of remedy." "Surely not," said the curate, earn estly. "A sinner may be reclaimed, but you cannot give a man an intel lect." "You should use the same word in both cases. You may reclaim a man's intellect just as ycu reclaim his mor als. I have dont it. I did it in my own case. I admit that mental re clamation, like moral reclamation, is rare." "It all seems so dreary and fatalis tic," said the curate. "So it is," the millionaire agreed cordially. "As I told you, I don't like comforting cant The best fable that ever was written was the fabio of the fox and the sour grapes. Everybody's a gentleman who feels like it, and wealth is not everything. Oh, yes! I those who are out of it But they are only stories, and, as a matter of fact, wea* \ is everything, as near as you can get it What wealth cannot do nothing else can." The curate seemed to reflect for a - moment "Tell me," he said darkly, "do you value the affection of your relatives and friends and those whom you have about you?" "Of course," the millionaire owned. "Perhaps one values that most of all." "And do you mean to tell me." asked the curate, flushed with triumph, "that that kind of thing can be bought with money?" The millionaire concentrated his at tention on his cigar with the air of a man who can provide a platitude with out troubling to think. "But, of course," he said, "you can buy affection as easily as you can buy a pound of tea, and on almost the same commercial principles." -The curate stuck to it. if "Are you sure that it is genuine af fection?" he said. "There," said the millionaire, "I don't trouble myself. I get respect and subservience while I am there, and really I don't care what they say when I am not there. You see, I don't think about these people very much. It would annoy me if they showed hostility to me while I was with them. It would give one all the trouble of having to think of new things to say. But they are perfectly welcome to say what they like behind my back, because they haven't got any money worth mention ing, or any position, and they don't matter. But as a matter of fact, money can generally buy genuine -af feciionr, an affection that is just as reel as that where there has been no value received." "Really, this is too cynincal," said the curate. "Not at all," replied the millionaire; "in fact, I am on the whole les cyn ical than you. I still believe in grati tude, and it would appear that you don't Generosity is aa admirable and popular quality. You must admit that' And it is very easy for a rich man to be generous; he just plugs in a few present, as a gardener puts in seeds, and afterwards he gets the fruits-quite genuine fruits, too. I sometimes wonder how anybody who is not a millionaire believes in genuine affection; it is certainly a luxury for the rich." ' "Well," said the curate, with a sigh, "I must not let you off. We owe $250 on the Cnurch Restoration at St. Bar nabas. I'll fee if it makes me think more highly of you." "I never subscribe; I either do a thing or I leave it alone. I'll .ell you What I'll do. I'll wipe out this debt for you altogether if you preach the opin ions you have heard from me from the pulpit" The little curate got quite excited. "I'd sooner steal the money and then cut my throat," he said. "If I could have all your money at the price of having your .. iews of life as well, I wouldn't do it." The millionaire smoked for a mo ment or two in silence. "You're not a bad sort of fool," he said at last-Black and White.

How the Animals Chance Color - A Do mestic Tyrant. During the summer months much of the land becomes free from snow and ice under the joint action of sun and wind, and the snow that resists re moval is darkened by a deposit of dna ditiit particles. In this season the ani mals wear their darker clothing, and birds have, by way of change, a less gaudy plumage. The background against wh. ^h they stand would betray their prese-ico if the white dress of ?winter were worn now; then, too. it makes it possible for the foxes, ducks, and other animals and birds to gratify a natural vanity by putting on. for a time at least, another coat. In winter, white is again worn. The background is now snow and ice, and the only chance which the Arctic, chicken now has to deceive the fox is to roll up iike a sall, and simulate a lump of ice. The ice-bear is equiped successfully to creep upon the ever watchful seal, because he looks like tho other blocks cf white around him. He remembers, however, his black nose, and is said to be sharp enough to cover it with his paw while approach ing his dozing prey. The seal does not stop his search for food until he has completely satisfied his excellent appetite; then he takes a good nap, lying upon the very edge of the ice, or as close as possible to his breathing hole. The slightest sound will awake? him, and, without waiting to find out the source or direction, he rolls into the water. He can stay un der for only 35 minutes, but where he will come up none can tell. This no one knows betier than the bear; and if the bear realizes that it is impossible to steal upon the leeward side of the seal, having his black nose covered with his paw and his bloodshot eyes closed, when the seal has his open and on the watch, he looks about for a fa vorable point of departure, dives un der the icc, and if he rightly judges the distance and direction, he comes up at the very spot where the seal had ex pected to go down. The seal's fate is thus settled, and the bear's shrewd ness earns its reward. The beautiful eider-duck has often been cited as an ideal .mother, and touching stories are told of her pluck ing the down from her own breast to make the nest in which to hatch her young. It is also said that if the hunters take the down, she will despoil herself for the second time, not calling upon the selfish drake until she has literally stripped herself. The drake is de clared to be strict in keeping his mate to her duties, insisting that she shall attend to the work of hatching. If the duck ventures upon a walk, he does not offer to take her place while' she goes gadding about, but perhaps know ing she is to fond of idleness, cruelly drives her back to her household duty. The duck lays only five eggs, and il she feels that her nest is large enough and warm enough to hold more, she boldly robs her neighbors, carrying the eggs, one at a time, under hei wing, until she has seven or eight. However, when the brood is hatched, the drake becomes the teacher to. thc young. Not in swimming, fe?- that comes naturally, but in diving, which is a means of flight as well as for find ing food. Thc little duck, coming in to life above water, hesitates to risk il by going under, nor will he follow the oft-repeated example of his parents. When it becomes necessary to resort to force, the drake comes quietly neai the unwilling pupil, suddenly throws a wing over him, and dives down. The little one is let go under the water. even ff'somewhat startled, he is ready to start diving on his own account. St. Nicholas. PEARLS OF THOUGH,. The busy have no time for tears. Byron.

TJnllke most hens, Mrs. Specklespot knew how to hold her tongue, and not a single cackle did she say to disclose .thc hiding place of her eggs. She did not even tell any of the other hens and roosters, for she did not want them prying abouV. "The hens are a little short in their laying," said thc farmer's wife, as she gathered the eggs each afternoon. When Mrs. Specklespot had 14 fine eggs in her new nest she decided that was all she could possibly keep wa m with her feathery wings, and it was quite a stretch, indeed, to do that. But she persevered, and her reward was, as you saw in the beginning of this story, 14 beautiful little downy chicks-the prettiest babies you ever saw. When ?dio discovered that they were pecking their way through their shells she was too delighted for words, so she just said "Cluck, cluk," softly. The first t hing to be done was to find them some food, and she knew that the . big worms that she thought so deli cious would choke the babies. It was all cozy and warm in the nest, and thc sun shone down upon the chickens so kindly that the mother ran oft fer a few minutes to find something to eat. "Baby chicks are usually fed with soft food." she said to herself as she hur ried toward, the house. "I'll just see what I can find. Grains of cern arc too large for them." Pink and Posey, the twins, were sit ting on the doorstep, each eating a beautiful fresh sugar cooky, which mother had just taken from the oven, and they were delicious; the only trouble vas that Posy's cookie looked bigger than Pink's. "You ought to give me a bit to make lt even," said Pink. Posy didn't agree. "You're a greedy boy," she said, not very politely. "Your're selfish!" cried Pink, "eat ing all that, great cookie by yourself. Why, it's twice as big as mine!" And just as ho said the last, word he felt a little tug at his hand and in a second Mrs. Specklespot was almost flying toward the burn with a beauti ful, sweet, soft, warm cookie in her bill,' followed by several of her neigh bor's children. . "Cluck, cluck, darlings!" she cried as she broke it up on the edge of the nest. "That stupid boy was so impolite he deserved to lose his cookie. Wasn't it lucky he didn't follow me?" The little chickens thought so, as they pecked daintily at the crumbs. Pink shook his fist at Mrs. Speckle spot as she disappeared, and Posy, and Posy, breaking his cookie in two, gave Pink the Digger piece.-New York Mail and Express. When Johnny Wont to School. Johnny Newton's first day at school was very hard. The first day at Rchool is apt to bc trying when you are a 7-year-old boy who has always been too delicate heretofore to go to kinder garten even. Johnny felt so lonely and so homesick as he sat there, try ing to catch up with the other chil dren, who had all entered school in the autumn instead af waiting until well along toward spring, that he simply couldn't help crying. And of course, after that, a bigger boy in the same room laughed at him at recess, and Johnny, who was only to attend schol half of each day for some time, ran home to his mother, crying harder than ever. But Johnny's mother was firm in de claring that he must go lo school reg ularly, just the same. Her promises that he would surely like going to school later doesn't console him much, but the big hug and kiss she gave him y?hr.n hP stnrtPri off nft.-?r_ lunch gggfe forted him greatly. And four days lat er the promises about liking school later carno true. For three long, long days Johnny was the newest pupil, and as lonesome and wretched as ever. But on the fourth day there came a little girl who had been too delicate and sickly to at tend kindergarten, and she, too, was so lonely and so homesick that she cried. Johnny felt so surprised and queer to see any one cry in school, even though he had been attending only three days, that he quite understood how strange and amusing he must have seemed to thc bigger boy who had laughed at him. But he was so sorry for the little girl that he walked home with her after recess, and when it was time- to enter school in the af ternoon he met her at the door and went into the big, quiet building with her. Next day as she was a nice little girl and very sweet and gentle he went to her house and walked to school with her, and the next day the teacher let them have seats together. And after that Well, after that a lot of things hap pened, all of them pleasant, and it wasn't until Johnny's mamma had company to Iuncheon.ncarly two weeks afterward, that Johnny remembered that he hadn't always known the lit tle girl. "Well, Johnny," asked the visitor, "how arc you getting on at school?" Johnny blushed and was silent, but his' mamma answered for him. "Johnny didn't like school very well at first." she said, smiling, "but I haven't heard so much about it of late. You do like school now, don't you, Johnny?" "Why, yes, mamma," answered Johnny, slowly, surprised when he came to think of it. "I do-I do like school-a whole lot, mamma. And I'm learning lots and lots of things there, too!" "I know you are, dearie," smiled his mamma, patting his shoulder. "I know of one very nice and useful les son you lea.-ned the fourth day." She didn't explain, as company was present, that she was glad because he had learned that to try and make some one else comfortable and happy is the surest way of being oneself, but you and I know that she meant it. And Johnny, although he doesn't yet know how much he learned when he made up his mind to try and comfort the lonely, homesick little girl, knows just how he will try to act next time he is wretched and unhappy himself.-Chica go Record-Herald.

GEOGRAPHIC SCULPTURE. 8cheme to Make an Exact Model of the United States, An exact model of the United States on a scale of two and a half Inches to the mile is one of the pos sibilities of the future as an added attraction to the national capital. While this possibility is, strictly speaking, as yet only in the air, it nevertheless has some zealous advo cates who see in it not only a great educational function, but a feature of attractiveness to the people of the country not equaled by any piece of natural scenery. ' It will be recaller- that several years ago there was a project for an outdoor map of the United States on the Potomac flats, through which vis itors could walk as through a park. Bills were introduced in Congress for this project by Senator Cannon, of Utah. The idea was also zealously advocated by Mr. Gardiner Hubbard, president of the National Geographic Society. The present plan, however, contem plates a much more perfect repro duction than would be possible in an outdoor map. The country would be produced in strictly the same manner as the city of Washington has been in the models prepared by thc park commission and now on exhibition in the Congressional Library. This scheme carried out delicately and ac curately would make it possible to re produce every building, road, bridge and railroad in the United States, as well as the physical features of the country. A model of this character and on the same scale is now being made of Switzerland. This model will bs the first production on a large scale of what ls known as the new school of model making. The new idea differs from the old in that it eliminates the exaggeration of certain lines which was supposed to be necessary in or der to convey to the eye the impres sion a person supposedly gets by see ing the original subject. To accom plish this the scale in elevations had to be made different than that of the surface modeled, which fact has tend ed to destroy popular confidence In t,he accuracy of the old models. The new modeling is really "geo graphic sculpture," as some of its devotees call it. It aims at absolute accuracy and is made possible through the perfection in mapmaking and of dry-plate photography. There is no attempt at exaggeration of ele vations or any other illusion. The . new park commission models arc ex amples o' thc new school, only on a considerably larger scale than that proposed for the model of the coun try. It would be necessary to house this model in a well-lighted building, which would have to be about SOO feet long and half as wide. Visitors could sec it by walking over glass paths. These paths would be made on sliding sup ports, capable of being pushed side ways, so as to allow of an inspection of the whole surface. One of the possibilities of such a model which would rr.a?vc it appeal to statesmen as a practical proposition would be that of having any section desired removed and replica produc- (i tions made, as we!! ?s changes made in the model to suit changed condi tions, which might occur at any time. These replica sections could be made of paper pulp or any other light sub stances and used in school work, just as the maps of the gc. .ogical survey are now done, and sold at cost. He H?.d Six Months to *LTve;J~'-v'* The early life of Cecil Rhodes was frequently endangered by illness, and the slender boy gave little evidence of tue sturdy, lion framed man. Even his own physician did not believe al one time that the youth would ever live to grow up. and told the boy if he ever expected to live he should go to the Cape. Before leaving England ho again called on the doctor, and was informed that the physician was dead, and that his son was conducting the practice. The visitor then made him self known to the latter, who. on con sulting the register of his father's cases, said: "Yes, here is thc name, Cecil John Rhodes; but it can't be you. for there is a note after it which reads, 'Cannot live more than six months.'"

One Cow Skin. ? An Instance of military thrift and of a red-tape system which is not pe culiar to Germany comes from the Prussian war office. In 18C6 the guards were breakfasting hurriedly. They had, on thc previous day, fought the battle of Soor, and had accom plished, altogether, a nine days' march. This waa pot the era of can ned meats, and to each regiment had been allotted a certain number of cat tle, which had been killed, skinned and cooked; but while the men were still eating, scouts came in with the news that the Austrians were near at hand. The men got into marching order, and in a fe*1' minutes were in rapid advance toward the enemy. The Grenadier Guards, conspicuous al ways for their dispatch, hurried to such purpose that they failed to se cure the skin of a cow which had been made over to them for rations. When the official who was respon sible for the value of the hide came to ask for lt, it had to be reported missing. Inquiries were set on foot, I evidence was collected, and a vol uminous correspondence lasting four teen or fifteen months failed to ac count for the skin. There had been a cow. She had been made over to the guards. She had a hide. The hide was govern ment property, representing a sum fixed by official tariff. The govern ment must be credited with that sum. Thc hide was not forthcoming. Who should be responsible for its cash value? It was at last decided that the col onel of the regiment should be held accountable, and a year and a half after the conclusion of the Seven Weeks' War he was requested by tho war office to remit the sum of three thalers. the price of one cow skin lost by the Grenadier Guards.
