By M. M. Breslotv
HE humanitarian spirit of the shoe manufacturers in" mark
ing the feminine shoe two OD three sizes lower than it ac
tually is may be apparent, but how about the-other Indus
tries which help woman to be that which she is not? vvnue
her artificiality as to appearance ends with the shoe, lt be
gins with the hat. Here is a condensed catalogue of twenty
three items-symbolic number-in which woman can de
ceive her looks: ; 1/ .
L Hair dyed.
2. Hair curled.
3. Hair rolled over a cushion of tfclse hair known as the rat. .
4. On top of which is worn a hat with the carcase of a bird or two.

* Why There Are Few
Happy Millionaires
By John Burroughs, the Naturalist ^
4>?of DO not believe in the doctrine^ attributed to John D. Rocke
J ' ? feller that if you want to make your wife happy, all you "have
J ? to do is to give her plenty of money. I do not believe^that
* I *
possession of money and happiness are synonymous. Ifi Mr.
?i ? ?> Rockefeller has been quoted correctly, he ?3'making a dec
?-. ? laration that I believe American women and women all
oyer the world will resent. They want love first , of ail, li
3io??tOOOCO lhey are provided with the right instincts.
I sat behind Jay Gould in school, and once he wrote a
composition on-a?slate for me when I needed ideas. Tnat day he needed 70
cents, an,d I gave the sum to him for two old school books. I saw him later in
life when he was worth $70,000,000, but I do not think he was happy. That
money fire was blazing m his eyes, and I am sure it reached his brain and con
sumed his life, sending him to an untimely grave.
The great problem of today is the making of money. It ls unquestionably
tile occupation that engages the minds of the vast majority of people. But
from what I have seen of life and those leading it,-when, one has obtained a
.competency money is superfluous, just like an excess of what is needed to
round out the figure and give it a handsome appearance. Piling up wealth
then becomes like piling on flesh, and greatly hinders the enjoyment of the
bast things of tills life.

'Revolution in New Yorks
Growth Within Ten
s
By William G. McJidoo, President of the Hudson
tWkmitmttfmj+mmfy+Ricer Tunnel Company*#J\f**n*mi\?0+mV%hj?
HE growth of New York is so extraordinary and the charac
ter of its development so remarkable that it is impossible to
see accurately even two years into the future.
Without attempting to predict, how great will oe the
change or how far-reaching Its effect, I will, say that within
ten years the revolution in existing methods of transporta
tion will be so great that it will be hard for pdople to real
ize that the present Inadequate systems ever, prevailed.
Within five y?ars I think it will be possible for one to travel
to not only every section of New York city itself, but to go to New Jersey and
the West and-to:'Long Island without stepping foot on the surface of a single
New York street.
Computing the time now lost each year by the people of New York in
moving to and fro on each trip they make, whether it be In New York city or
back and forth across one of the rivers, at Ave minutes, the saving under cou
ditions as they are soon to be will be nine hundred and fifty-one years in-each
year, or nearly ten centuries.
Tunnel facilities will in time establish on the New Jersey side of the river
a. city the size, of the present Greater New York. In fact, I firmly believe that
the growth of th? entire metropolitan district will, under the-encouragement
of the improved transit, facilities, exceed the most extravagant prophecies.
Building *>n Sand
By Frank W. Skinner
N New "York nearly all the tall office buildings have their
. foundations on the quicksand. In it, or under it, and as a
rule they are more difficult, dangerous and costly to build
than anywhere'else in the world. It ls required to provide
absolutely safe separate supports for from fifty to a hundred
columns, fifteen or twenty feet apart, each carrying loads of
from 100 to 2000 tons. Thirty feet below the surface the
sand ls found compressed to a hard, dense mass which, un
disturbed, will carry safely a load of 6000 or 8000 pounds
?er square foot When, therefore, the building is not too heavy, and there is
no expectation of uv.eper foundations being built alongside, the new founda
tions are often laid on the* surface of the sand, which has from one-half to the
trhole of its area covered with them.-r-The Century*.

I honor of General Stephen Lee's mem
ory, as less than two years ago, he,
my kind friend and hospitable host,
took me over these very -historie,
grounds at Vicksburg, and we recall
ed together the incidents of the fear
ful struggle which occurred here, in
1863, where he; and I had both been
wounded, General Lee serving during
that struggle, as a distinguished of
ficer of the Confederate army, and I
being with my father, who command
ed the forces of the opposing Union
army. We talked over the battles of
the past with no feelings of bitter- ,
ness, but only with rejoicings, that
peace had been established arid that
harmony, patriotism and loyalty to
one flag, now exist throughout our
great land.
"In the shadow of this beautiful
statue, built to the memory of this
knightly and chivalric soldier, I am
glad to recall the earnest wish eher- >
ished constantly by my own dear -
father, Gen?rela Ulsysses S. Grant,
for peace and harmony among the'
American people. . This wish was
shown in the terms granted here at
.Vicksburg, and also April/9, 1865,
when at Appomattox, upon reading
that the side arms, horses and private
property of his officers and enlisted
men could be retained by them, Gen
eral Robert E. Lee said to General
Grant,''These terms will have, in
deed, a most happy effect upon my
army, and upon the whofe South.'
'*T am glad to recall thai this sen
tence for harmony between the North
and the South, begun at Appomattox,
was cherished by General Grant un
til the end of his life, as shown by
him, during the administration of
President Johnson and the ' Recon
struction period, when General Grant
stood firmly and determinedly,' for
the promises he liad given to General
Robert E. Lee and to the South, as
he did also, throughout his own two
administrations, as President of the?
United States, even up to the last
hours of his existence. This is evident
in a message written by General
Grant during his' last illness, after
the loss of his voice, to one of the
physicians attending him, a short
time before his death, of which mes
sage, I will read a few lines:
"My father wrote': 'I am thankful"
for the providential extension of my
time, because it "has enabled me to
see for myself the happy harmony
that has so suddenly sprung up be
tween those ?ngaged a few short
years ago, in deadly conflict. It has
been an inestimable blessing to me,
to hear the kind expressions toward
me, in person, from all p^rts of, our
