RISK OF A HUS1NI.SS MAN.
Notable
Siicccsh of a Wind Man in
New York City.
People who happen to 1)0 on
Fifth avenue, New York, between
7 and Hoclock every evejiing, re
lates the Chicago lieeord, can see
an old-fashioned carriage with
two seats driven rapidly uptown.
On the back seat sits an old gen
tleman comfortably placed, well
wrapjied up with furs and a
slouch hat drawn down over his
eyes. Beside him is.a young man
with an oKn newspaper spread
upon his knees and an electric
lamp in his hand. His mouth is
close to his compauions's ear, so
that the latter can hear distinctly
as he reads the evening papers
above the rattle of the wheels of
thousands of carriages aud de
livery wagons over the rough
stone pavement. Between (5 and
7 o'clock every morning the same
sight may be witnessed by eople
who get out so early.
The old gentleman in the car
riage is Charles Broadway Rouss,
a blind man who has the largest
wholesale notion store in New
York City, and that is the way ho
gets the news of the busy world,
lie says he has no time to have
the newspaiHjrs road to him ex
cept whie ho is riding between
home and his store.
In 1805 Mr. Rouss came to
New York from Winchester, Va.,
with $1.80 as his capital. Ho is
row ouo of tho richest merchants
:n that city and his wealth is esti
mated all tho way from $3,000,000
to $20,000,000. Hanging in the
most conspicuous place in his
store, just where every one who
enters can read it, is a framed
card bearing this inscription.

Mr. Rouss always spells phon
etically U) save time and labor.
Auother sign, which discloses tho
fundamental rules of his bus
inesses seen in every di rection and
ready:
NET CASH
DAY AFTER EXAMINATION
NO DISCOUNT,
which means that he always pays
cash for everything ho buys the
day that tho goods are delivered
and neither gives nor asks dis
counts. Another peculiarity of
Mr. Rouss is to pay his employes
every night. At the close of
business, at H o'clock, winter and
summer and everybody is ex
jKtcted to work eleven hours a
day tho clerks, jMirterB and oth
ers on tho pay roll go to tho cash
ier and receive thoir day's wages
iu an envelope, so that when Mr.
Rous? closes his store at night he
owes no man a dollar. Ho is al
ways tho first to arrive in tho
moruing, and is found daily at
his desk before 7. Ho is always
the last, except tho watchman, to
leave tho building at night, and
although he is blind and has
many millions of dollars, he puts
in twelve hours of solul work six
days in- the week.
Anothor sign that is seen in
every direction for Iho in forma-
tion of his customers is:
NOCKKIMT.
ON I'i BfLL AT A TIME
SIX DAYS OUR BEST TERMS,
NEVER THIRTY.
Mr. Rouss considers ouo week
a sutticieut -time for all his cus
tomers in the country to receive
their purchases, and he expects
the goods to be paid for as soon
as they reach their destination.
City customers are required to
pay cash, lie told tne that ho
burned his ledger eighteen years
ago aud now carries on his enor
mous business, amounting to
millions a year, with only two
bookkeepers, who simply record
the purchases of out-of-town cus
tomers aud credit them with the
pay when it is received.
"A fellow was fool enough to
trust me when I first came to
New York and I trusted others,"
said Mr. Rouss one day when I
called upon him. "I smashed nil
to pieces; owed $3I,(K)0,)aid it up
dollar for dollar, never trusted
anybody again aud never permit
anybody to trust inc."
Mr. Rouss' peculiar name is
his trademark. Ho was born in
Frederick, Md., clerked in a
country store at Winchester, Va.,
came to New York with an ambi
tion to emulate A. T. Stewart,got
a stock of goods and opened a
small shop on Broadway, but
customers were slow iu coming
and he painted a big sign, "Char
les Broadway Rouss," to attract
curiosity, which he boliwes was
the foundation of his success in
life. Overwork cost him hi eye
sight, but he continues to manage
his business and knows every
thing that is going on iu his great
store.
I asked Mr. Rouss what he
considered tho greatest of vir
tues. "Honesty," ho replied; "that
covers everything."
"And what is the greatest of
vices?" I asked.
"Idleness that is the source
of all vice; a busy man has no
time to bo bad."
Mr. Rouss is a practical phil
anthropist and has given away
large su m s of money. Be always
gives a dollar to everybody who
asks for aid or sends him a beg
ging letter.
"You would not want mo to
print that fact," I suggested.
"Why not?"
"Because it would bring upon
you multitudes of applicants for
money."
"Let them come. If a dishon
est man robs nio he will suffer
for it, not I; if I refuse a worthy
man tho aid he needs, I will suf
fer for it as well as he. I would
rather give $10,000 to people who
do not need it than refuse $1 to a
man who does.
THE LAST FARRAGUT VETERAN.
A Curlisler's Invention.
Mr. D. L. McDerniott, a veter
an of tho Civil War, residing in
Carlisle, is tho inventor of a new
style of projectile which may
compel governments to again re
model their armies aud navies.
Be is a man of a mechiauical turn
of mind and devoted his leisure
moments to devising a projectile
which would excel all others in
use. In this he was eminently
successful. His invention con
sists of a deep spiral rilling on
tho rear of tho projectile and over
this is placed a jacket of steel
which fits very snugly.
The powder charge which
drives tho projectile straight for
ward also gives it a rapid revolu
ton by expending its force in the
direction of the spiral rifling. At
recent tests it penetrated 20
inches of Harveyizod steel and al
most caused tho rejection of a
largo government order. There
is another form of projectile by
tho same inventor which carries
an additional charge of powder
that is exploded by impact.
During tho Spanish-American
war the shells of the dynamite
cruiser Vesuvius were made
from Mr. MoDermott's plans at
the Waterville, N. Y., arsenal and
were used with telling e-ffoct,
compressed air being used for
I)wder. Mr. McDermott has
allowed tho United States Gov
ernment tho uso of his invention
pending its patent, aud will give
the United States tho preference
for its purchase. Already sev
eral European natious aro very
anxious to possess it. Tho same
principle of the new projectile
can bo apiriied to rifle or revolv
er bullets. Hon. F. E. Beltz

ney and is looking up his client's
interests iu foreign countries

PROTECTION OF SONG BIRDS.
Consul General Dubois Describes the
Swiss Methods.
Consiil-Ceueral Ihihols, nt St. (Jail,
has made a report to tho State Depart
ment in regard to the methods pursued!
In Switzerland for the protection of
soiilt blnls, in which he suys:
"Switzerland has not tunny feathered
songsters, but those that do exist are
carefully protected, not only by law,
tint by the fostering: care of the people,
particularly the Uermaii-xpcakiiiK poo
pie of Switzerland. In lS7o a law was
enacted prohibiting the trapping or
klllliiK of song; birds or the robbing or
molesting of their nests In any part of
the Alpine Itopulillc.
"As the seasons couie aud go the
Swiss birds make their pilgrimage
south, and In going and returning
across the laud of Northern Italy and
the Swiss canton of Tessln they are
mercilessly pursued by hunters o' all
ages aud classes.
"One of the schemes Is to cover the
limbs of trees ami the rocks, ami even
tho telegraph wires, ulong tho lino of
the bird migrations with u certain
paste of such adhesive qualities that
whenever the birds stop In their (light
for rest or food they nre held helpless
cnptlvcH.
"Prlng the past year tho border po
lice of Tessln captured and destroyed
13,000 bird traps set to Imprison these
weary little flyers. Authorities are
being urged to take the most rigorous
measures to suppress the evil. The
criminal courts are having many more
bird law violation eases than formerly,
and bird catching and killing crimes,
which In former years were either
overlooked or punished very slightly,
nre now dealt with seriously.

THE HISTORY BOOK.
How Milk and Water Can Be Made
to Change Glasses.
A pretty bit of selcntlllc recreation
which comes In handily after dinner
Is sometimes cnlled by the high sound
ing title of "The Hevelige of tho Dnnl
ndes," In allusion to the daughters of
1 Minims, who, as a punishment for
their crimes, were condemned to for
ever draw water with leaky vessels.
Pill completely two glasses of ex
actly the same size and shape, one
with water, the other with milk.
Stretch over the mouth of the glass
containing the water a circular cover
ing of tulle or other thin goods, some
what linger than the glasses and pre
viously moistened.
Now smooth the lapping of the tullo
ns closely to the glass as possible,
and, holding the palm of tho right
hand squarely to tho mouth of tho
glass, seize the stem with the left nnd
turn It quickly upside down, avoiding
the entrance of air.
Next slide tho right hand softly
away from underneath, and, much to
your astonishment, the lulle will re
main sticking to the glass, while not
a drop of water will fall out through
that exceedingly leaky tissue. You
will very soon succeed Iu this experi
ment. Hereon follows the second part:
Place your full, but not dripping, glass
of water, thus turned upside down,
but not inside out, over the full glass
of milk, and you will soon see little
jets of white liquid penetrating the
tulle In every direction. It Is tho
milk, progressively mounting the su
perior glass, which In the same pro
portion yields water to the lower glass
In the opposite direction.
At the end of about a quarter of an
hour the exchange will be complete,
anil you will see the lower glass tilled
with pure transparent wnter, whllo
the upper one will be full of whlto
milk.
MAGIC OF FIGURES.
Trick In Simple Subtraction That Will
Puzzle Every One.
You never can tell what figures will
do. Of course they are truthful if
properly handled, but some of them
are capable of the most bewildering
antics. Here is a method by which
figures may bo made to tell secrets in
a way that will astonish those who
are not Informed about how to do tho
" figuring."
Ask some person to put. down nn
kuowu to you a number composed of
three figures (say U'J). Tell him to
transpose the figures (making 2(17),
and to subtract the lesser from the
greater. Then ask lilm to tell you tho
first figure of the result, nnd you can
tell him the entire number. Por In
stance, your first number in the pres
ent example Is 702, which transposed
makes 207. Subtract 207 from 702
nnd you have 4!)ft. The only figure
that you are told Is 4, the first of the
result. All you have to do Is to sub
tract 4 from 0, which will give you 5',
the last figure, and the central figure
Is always !). So your number will bo
4!)."i. This is true in all cases where
only three figures are to be used in
making up a number. The central
figure will always be 0 when the
transposed number Is subtracted from
the original number, and the two end
figures when added together will
make 0. So, knowing either the first
or last figure of the result you can
give the entire number.
ALL MAKE DOLLS.
Mothers Cut Them Out, Children
Stuff and Fathers Paint Them.
In Germany there are whole com
munities of people who make dolls,
whllo families work all day at doll
making, each one having his own part
to do. Not only do these families
make dolls, but the fathers aud moth
ers of these fathers und mothers made
dolls, and so did the grandfathers ami
grandmothers. A man making n doll
out of a piece of wood, using a knife
to do It, will draw himself up proudly
and toll you that his grandfather
made tho same kind of a doll,
Tln niolhers In the families cut out
the bodies, the children make and
stuff them, the fathers paint and trcut
the faces. In some families, where
there Is a great deal of talent, the
whole family makes heads.
Some of these doll makers have
come to New York, and they live near
together, making a little Gorman vil
lage of doll makers. These peoplo
make only the rag dolls which we see
In the stores, dressed in gingham nnd
wearing sunboiiuets on their heads.
Some of the women ami girls make
the clothing and bonnets, the boys stuff
the bodii's, and, as In Germany, tho
men muke the faeea.
Valuable Pebbles.

making stained glass windows, aud
there is sulliclent dcmojid for them In
New York to keep the owners of ouo
or two sloops employed iu gathering
them from the beaches, where tho

The Cunning Animal Wat too Wise
for the Eager Hunter A Claim that
Wolves are the 8ame Kind of Ani
mals as Dogs.
"One winter we were staying at our
main IoiIko on Lake MomexiitJo'.nmlnK,
In the Tarry Sound District," said aa
old hunter. "The Hint deep snow of
winter had Just come on, covering tho
bushes and trees Willi a heavy mantle
of pure while, and converting them
Into all sorts of fantastic Images and
shapes, bonilliiK the tall hemlocks un
til their branches almost touched the
ground or broke oh" completely. At
this time Is was cxcccdimsly illlllcult
for animals to travel through the
woods. The deer keep closely yarded
In some secluded thicket, so that a
wolf inlnht pass to leeward very close
ly without ever boin aware of their
presence, and the wolf has n very
hard time to jret his daily bread In
the shape of venison; and even when
it has the !ood fortune to raise a
doer, It has a lonjr, tiresome chase
pliinirlni; through the lose snow be
fore It brings It down.
"We were also blocked up In our
lod'e, for It Is Just us dilllcult, at this
time of the year, for the hunter to get
about as It Is for the jtame. However,
we Koiierally kept a trap set near the
lodge to accommodate any hungry
wolf that chanced that way. Knrly
one morning, going out to look at it,
we found a wolf had visited the place
and appropriated the bait, lint wit li
mit springing the trap. Wo reset the
trap and found next morning that the
wolf had boon there again, feasted
on the bait ami had sprung tho Imp,
but without getting caught.
" I now set two traps aud covered
them up ns naturally as possible, we'l
knowing that the wolf would bo very
suspicious nnd alert by this time and
exceedingly wary in approaching. I
knew, however, that he was prettv
hungry, and left my traps feeling con
fident of lindliig him liaril and fast tni
the morrow. : f- , ,. ,., i .i ..,,.i

I dug out the snow iu my parallelo

small traiis, so as to diffuse the smell
of the Iron. I covered them up and
set a large trap on top of them, and
then carefully sifted snow through my

" This was too much for the wolf.
I saw the next morning where it had

and 1 saw it no more. The only meth
od by which I could have trapped this
animal would have been by dragging
a piece of halt to water and hiding
the trap where the water would have
destroyed its smell.
" Whether the wolf should be
classed with the dog Is a mooted ques
tion with the naturalists. My own
conclusion, after observation under a
treat variety of conditions. Is that
they are one aud the same kind of
animal, differing only In such manner
as might be expected lu an aiiliual in
a state of nature, and one under do
mestication. They look alike, hark.
