FACT AND. FANCY. "Observer'4 Writes Ealeftaiainfciy oa Wotk and on the Strenuous Life la the Cities. Gi Ci vviUc Hews* 'Wife, I have nothing to do bat ride around over ih? oily ail day, sit ting or f tending at my pleasure." That1 was the glad message of a South Carolina farmer written from Augusts, Georgia. He bad become dissatisfied with the hayl work of tbe farm, and went to the city to secure a position^ He dropped readily, into the place of - a street oar ..mptorman at $40 a month. The work was surpris ingly easy and the pay was more than he would have asked. At onoe ho made up his mind that he would never return to the slow, unremnnerative hard labor on . the farm. He went to work at C o'clook in the morning and worked till 6 in the evening, taking fifteen or twenty minutes for dinner. At the <md of a week there began to he some suggestion of work about what seemed to bo play at first. In two weeks he was dono sight-seeing, the novelty disappeared, and he had settled down to work'; Snatching hasty breakfasts before 6\ eating din ner on a race, straining all day to make schedule time?at tbe end of three weeks he asked permission to go home to see his wife. "Is she dead," asked the manager. "No, sir; but I have been from home three weeks, .and would like to tat-e a short visit of a low days." "Tell her to come to see yon; the company did not employ you to go home and see your wife every month.. Your oar must ran every day." He remained at his-post ontiVtho month was out, every day and Sun day too, when he was convinced tLat he had never done a month of euoh continuous bard work in his life, and went home and settled down to farm life with a sweet content that was worth all it cost. In the cities the currents of life are swift and strong. To the casual ob server the city folk seem tobe a iesure class, driving, feasting, receiving cailers, visiting, living in stylo. But closer observation discovers an amaz ing amount of work. The great build ings do not grow like corn in the field. The pavements are not the voluntary induration of the earth. The stores, shops, factories and offices do not run by any automatic process. The city world wakes up every morning with a start; it moves out anxiously to the places of work, and re turns late to a wearied bed. The clerk is at his counter from 7 till 9 and later?fourteen hoars and more. The office man apologizes for arriving at 9 in the morning by recounting his labors extended far into the previous night. The morning paper bears no marks of the grimy .hands that have sent it forth, nor of the mental and muscular strain of tho great army of Workers that gathered tho nowa of the locality and the ends of..the earth into its orderly columns. A study of the signs among the principal streets at intervals of five or ten years will show how fierce has been the struggle in the competition of the business world. The door plates of the residence streets tell a story of the work-storm that goes on day and night. No autocrat can command this buBy world. Men may come and men may go, but it goes on forever. It Will fully encysts and. oasts oat the ob structionist Whether from indolence* inability or unwillingness. Whoever essays to oome from tbe country home with its untroubled life, its recurring periods of repose, its unstrained and. stainless power, its uojealous effort and its quiet growth, into the storm centers of civilization may not rule or rest, bat serve. If in the contact one is not able to take hojjd and work up, there is no help for him; for the mov iog column cannot slow down to his speed and power. Ho will receive beneficence and sympathy and burial, but these will be generously given on the march. No learning, no prestige will be taken as a substitute for work. All true educational processes tend to qualify and to dispose men to moro woik. better, work, harder work; to put a thousand eyes into the .head,a thousand-fingered hand* upon tho arm, and to equip one man-for doing the work of a thousand. This work is war, but it is the war of peace. It is gradually subduing the crimson energy of primitive man to the arts of industry; to construction rather than destruction. Strange as it may seem, even para doxical, it takes rioro work to evade workthau simpij to go aL it. The atory of ? wood thief in Maine has been often retold in proof of this fact. A very honest and industriels neigh bor lived near tho w-jod ?feie?? In summer the honest man prepared his wood for^sw. One very unarually ?old winter the wood thief mad? a secret entrance to'his neighbor's wood house, stole wood by the armfnl, car rying it by night to his home several hundred yards away. When atlas* he was detected it *&* demonstrated that h* ?cttt*5ly gdid mot? work in Bteaiiog the weed than was done by tbe rightful owner in housing it. There was added also both pain and shame. A truant boy deserted his hems' v.s the field for the fishing rod. Bis father devised a very effective punish ment when he presented him a box of tackle and sent him forth to the creek every day, requiring him to fish a cor tsin number of hours under very ex acting restrictions. The boy wao soon disenchanted; fishing became work in stead of play, and he was glad to re turn to real, useful work. That man cheats the world and himself when he^puts foremost in his short creed the comforting opinion that the world owes him a living. It ?h unpardonable egotism for . a man to make himself the center of the world, and count that for him all people and things exist. When a great man drew near to death, one of his followers asked him to sum up his teaching in one word that would express tbe whole duty of man. His reply was -.rcader flil?y ?fisc, ii hoi iu6:wist3$, and that one word was: "Servi*"*." * Observer." Almanac Weather Sharps. "Speaking of almanao predictions as Compared to weather bureau fore easts," said a veteran drug man of this oity, "every almanao prophet has a secret system of his own. There are less than a dozen in the country who are regarded as es perte, and as far as I know, their calculations are all based on the 'cyclo' theory. They assume in other words, that the weath er repeats itself at certain intervals. Whore they differ it is in the length of the cycle. "There was a man in Ohio who was very successful for a long time and who took half a century as the basis of the system. He was employed to get up the predictions for almanacs issued by a large wholesale drug house in Detroit, and in 1885 or 1886?1 am not quit? sure of the date?he created a sensation by the accuracy of his forecast. He was far more successful than the government weather bureau of that day, and of course he acquired an immense prestige. Next year bis peroentage of misses was muoh greater, but he matte one astonishing hit in predicting a phenomenally cold wavo that thrived exactly according to schedule. It is a great pity he didn't retire on his laurels, for he never duplicated those early performances, and finally went so far astray that he had to .riit. "The most scientific of the almanao forecasters estimate their cycles by certain astronomioal conditions. They go on the theory that the relative po sition of the planets has something to do with the weather, and they have a set of carefully prepared astronomioal maps for each year. When the condi tions are identical they assumo that the weather will be about the Bame. Some go farther and say that comets and sunspots produce tornadoes and other great disturbances. I dare say that the late total eclipse has played a prominent part in more than one set I of predictions throughout the oountry. Bat as a rule, the. almanao men fight shy of announcing great ohanges. Country people have a habit of treas uring up blunders of that, kind, and one or two of them will ruin the repu tation of a publication. Ab a rule, the predictions are generalities, deal ing with the average weather of ? sec tion, and in that respect the cyclo theory seems to be reliable. 'N "You would be surprised to know how many 'weather almanacs' circu late among the country folk. The average edition of any of- the older publications is never less than a mil lion."?New Orleans Times-Democrat. Taught By Experience. Even a lunatio may not wholly lack the power to reason. This truth ap pears in a story Life tells of the in spection of an asylum by the trustees. Walking through, the grounds, they oamo upon a party of workmen who were repairing a wall. One of the -harmless patients, apparently assist ing in the work, was pushing a wheel barrow along upside down. "My frieud?" said a kind-hearted trustee, gently, "you should turn your wheelbarrow over." "Not on your lifel" replied tho pa tient. "I turned it over yesterday, and they put bricks in it!" CASTOR!

The two famous Mills hotels in New York, one costing $1,000,000 And the other about $500,000, are profit able investments. The price of the sleepiug room with bath and sitting room privileges in either of theie houses is 20 cents a day and meals are 15 cents oaoh, making the total cost of living 05 cents a day. The Mills hotels are scrupulously neat. The meals are served in courses and moro than he can eat is given to each guest. Thus it would seom that everything above 65 cents a day is paid for luxur.r aud added oomfort. New York's first c'Uhs hotel population cf 50,000 could live in houses like the Mills hotels for $32,500 a day, or $11.802,500 a year. Figuring on that basis $280,000 a day, or $102,200,000 a year, is p&fd for luxury. Notwithstanding this tho demand is for greater luxuary, not only in New Yqrk, but proportionate ly throughout the ooncUy. That shrswd Lsiui Locpcr? recognise thin i? plainly evident. For, although tho number of.hotels costing trem $1,000, 000 upward, and in whioh tho cost of living is $4 a day or more, has dou bled within the past ten years, more buildings of this typo are now being planned and constructed than at any previous time. ! Tho actual cost of the Waldorf-As 1 toria, the largest aad most luxurious hotel in the world, has never been made public, but it is estimated at $12,000,000. When it was projeoted almost every one said it could not be made to pay. Yet to-day it is a very profitable property. It is hard to imsgine a house with forty magnifi cent public rooms, more than 1,300 guests' rooms and aooomodations for between 1,400 and 1,500 people, being praotically filled all the time, but these figures represent the Waldorf Astoria's accomodations, and it is con stantly crowded. The payment of $75 to$100 a day for rooms, exclusive of meals, in New York hotels is by no means uncommon. Thero are people living at the Waldorf-Astoria who pay $100 a day for their rooms tho year round. For tho famous royal suites $500 a day has been paid on several occasions for shor, periods. A woman who died recently had paid $75 a *day for a year at the Savoy in New York, for a oorner suite over looking Central Park. TheJ price did not inelude meals, and, as -she was a liberal entertainer, the aggregate of her hotel bills must have been very large. Last fall a well known millionaire went to tho Waldorf-Astoria to live, engaging rooms b\ the year. This bummer he deoided to establish his private office there also. Nearly, the entire royal suite has to Se given up to provide the oomfort vud luxury whioh this man demands and is willing to pay for. Taking the rooms by the year, he does not, of course, pay a rate proportionate to the transient rate of $500 a day for that part of the suite whioh he occupies, bat he probably expends in the neighborhood of $150 a day for his rooms. In this suite he is completely isolated from tho rest of the hotel, the suite having a pri vate hall. He has his meals served in a private dining room. His guests are received in a privatetfrawing room, furnishing as riohly as a room in a king's palace. No other hotel guest in the world lives amid such splendor. He is a lavish entertainer, frequently having fifteen or twenty to 1-mcheon and dinner. It would not b? surpris ing if his hills at the hotel averaged $200 a day while he is there. If main tained throughout the year this would amount to $73,000. Another multi-millionaire lives al most as luxuriously at the Waldorf Astoria, having occupied for almost two years the private hall corner suite fronting on 5th avenue and 84th streot. This suite has a drawing room, dining room and pantry, bed rooms and bath rooms for tho family and servants; in faot, all the advan tages of a private apartment combined with those of the hotel. Probably these two men pay the largest individual hotel bills in the States, if not in the world. . A million dollar* is invested in the furniture of the Waldorf-Astoria and 1,400 persons all told are employed at the height of tho soaBon, or an employoofor every guest, whioh is the average in most of tho larger hotels.?Boston Herald. ? The oensus shows some queer things about Texas. For instance, Bailey county has bat 4 residents, Cochran has 25; Andrews, S7; Lynn, 17; Oawaon, 36. Twenty-fivo others havo less than 500. Some counties have no runnning stream within their borders, some are hundreds of miles from a railroad, and others are almost wholly inhabited by prairio dogs, jaok rabbits and rattlesnakes. Tom Green county, the largest of th? State/ has 45,000 square mile.*, whioh is larger than the ?ru??e State of Ohio and has but 6,894 inhabitants. ?

Both parties are prominently con nected and the unfortunate necessity that caused tho homicide is deeply re gretted by Mr. Davis' many friends. It is a matter of gratification however that the verdict of the coroner's jury completely exonerates him.?The State. The Casein Industry. Tho most malignant opponent of trusts ?rm soarcciy tako exception to the one whioh in tho last ten years has developed the casein industry of this country into one of tho best in vestments for both the farmer and tho manufacturer. It is not so long ago that buttermilk was such a drug on the market that it was regarded as a food for pigs or as a waste substance to be thrown away. This has been changed, and, where formerly the dairyman obtained nothing for the li quid, he converts it into casein, either in his own dairy or in a factory owned by the casein trust. Casein is an al bumenose substance, best known to the average oitizon in the form of cheese. It contains as much nitrogen as meat, more than eggs, and much more than fish. Its food value is therefore very high. Thus far, this feature has not been utilized in the United States, all of our own casein being used for other industries, but vast quantities go to Franco nnd Ger many, where they are nauBformed into artificial foods. Tho manufacture is now Up in the millions of pounds, and is increasing annually. Some is oonvertcd into buttons. This is done by mixing the casein with fine clay and other inorganic materials mado in to a paste, rolled, stamped, and baked. It makes a light, glussy, and hand some button, andt is much stronger than tho one made of Chinaware alone. In the matter of small buttons and studs, it oan be mado iridescent or colored to suit the public fancy. Thus far in our own land, casein has been put to low utilitarian purposes. By chemical treatment, it is changed into a vory strong gluo, whioh is used in making veneers. Several great cooperages out west now make barrel heads of these veneera, and sand save one or two pounds of weight, and at the same time get a stronger and hand somer barrel head. These veneers are also employed for chair seats,'car seats, sounding boards, and piano cases. A second use is as eonstituont of paper pulp. Casein is snow white and, when mixed with wood pulp, straw pulp, and similar bodies, gives a whiter and clearer produot, and also one that is less brittle and more dura ble. This mixed pulp is made into paper for newspapers, writing paper, wall paper, and paper boxes. The white boxes which the more enterpris ing shoe dealers and department stores now effect are results of this indus try. Casein mingled with lime makes a liquid covering intermediate between whitewash and paint, whioh possesses a handsome gloss, and is very much cheaper than the latter. The lime re acts upon it and makes it bcth water proof and, to a certain extent, fire proof. As a finish for fine leather goods, it is now employed in at least 50 of tho leading works of the coun try. . It is particularly adapted for fiue kids, goatskins, dogBkins, calf and sheepskins. It is also used as a finish for the outside of lead pencils, pen holders and other wooden wares. ?

He essayed to fulfill his obligations, but after a few days his stomach revolted and he found it physically impossible to continue drinking. He has now become a strict teetotaler.
