MONEY MADNESS. The Evil* of the Manlu For Getting Hlch In « Hurry. The mania for getting rich -the mad, false idea that we must have money has played worse havoc among ambi tious people than war or pestilence. A member of the Chicago board of trade says that the men and women of this country contribute $ 100,u<)(),000 a year to the sharpers who promise to make them rich quick. They work the same old scheme of a confidential letter and shrewd baiting until the victim parts with his money. Thousands are plod ding along In poverty and deprivation, chagrined and humiliated because they have not been able to get up In the world or to realize their ambitions, for the reason that they succumb. I to the scheme of some smooth promoter wlu hypnotized them into the belief that they could make a great deal \cry quickly out of a very little. The great fever of trying to make a dollar earn $5 is growing more and more contagious. We see even women secretly going into brokers' ofiices and "bucket shops," investing everything they have in all sorts of schemes, drawing their deposits out of the banks, sometimes pawning their Jew elry—-even their engagement rings - and borrowing, hoping to make a lot of money before their husbands or fami lies find it out and then to surprise them with the results, but in most cases what they invest Is hopelessly lost. Thousands of young Americans are so tied up by financial or other entan glements even before they get fairly started in their life work that they can only transmute a tithe into that which will count in their lives.

Plato's Karly Effort* to Define This lataniclhle futility. In Harper's Magazine C. 11. Ilinton writes on the much debated question of"The Fourth Dimension." In open lug ills article he cites Flato as un early exponent of this idea. "Plato, at the beginning of the sev enth iHK.k of the Republic, describes a set of prisoners who are liekl In chains before the mouth of a great cavern, bound so that they cannot turn their face* In any other direction than look ing straight into the cavern. "Oil the wall In which the cavern ends they see their shadows projected by the sun. Their only experience of objects is derived by watching these shadows. If passers by traverse the roadway behind tlieni all they s<>e is the shadows of these passers by on the wall If an object strikes them what they see is the shadow of that object striking the shadows of themselves. "Plato draws the conclusion that they would Identify themselves with their shadows. Since events occurring among theae shadow forms arc the invuriuble accompuulments of all their sensations they would think that they themselves were those shudows and lived and moved In a shadow world. "Now the shadows can only move on the surface of the wall. They cannot approach and recede from it; hence the prisoners tliluk of themselves us hav ing a two dimensional existence only. And, says Plato, as these prisoners think of themselves as lens than they really are, so we iii our turn think of ourselves as less than we really are. His philosophy was an effort to find that greater which we really arc." HOW STEPHENS ESCAPED. Vhe llarlntc I'lot by Which the Feni an Leader Wn» Ht-arnrd. Among the thrilling stories of es capes from Jail that of James Ste phens, the head and front of the Fe nlau brotherhood in Ireland in 18t>5, from Richmond prison, Dublin, lias a place. Two men were chiefly concern ed in the affair, one named Breslln, the hospltul warden, and the other Byrne, a night watchman. Breslln procured an Impression of the key which opened Stephens' cell and which always hung on a nail In the governor's safe. lie had to distract the governor's atten tion, steal the key, at the same time putting another In its place, get the Impression and then return flic key to Its nail. The time came for making the es cape, and the few moments were ail too short. It was a dark night, and the storm howled furiously. Most dis couraging of all, the ladder provided for scaling the well proved too short. This fact seemed to promise absolute disaster. The wall was twenty feet high, and Stephens could not possibly reach Its top. Breslln in an agony of baste brought a table from the dining room and placed the ladder on it. It was still too short, and the prisoner bud to descend again. The rescuers, who were in as great danger as the prisoner, grew almost wild with apprehension. Another table wan and again Stephens made the ascent and this time, after a desperate struggle, succeeded iti get ting outside the wall. Once there he had to Jump twenty feet Into the dark ness, having no Idea where he should land or whether It would be with liro keu limbs or neck. He let go his hold of the wull and fell, fortunately strik ing soft ground. Meanwhile Byrne and Breslin had l»een obliged to return to their duties. Stephens now found him self In a garden surrounded by another wall twenty feet high. Over tills wall Breslin had told him to throw a stone as a signal to eleven armed men who were waiting outside to receive him Now a score of small er difficulties beset him. He could not find the garden walls and groped about In vain for a stone. At length he reached the wall and threw over a handful of gravel, whereupon a rojn» with a weight attached was tossed over to him. lie quickly climbed Ihe wall and soon found himself In the arms of his Joyful lxxlyguaril. Who conducted him to a house within sight of the Jail, where he remained four teen days. He afterward went to a fashionable boarding house in the finest part of Dublin and spent two months and fiiiHlly, when the hue and cry for his capture had somewhat subsided, took ship from Ireland.

William Gillette was seeking a young girl with a southern accent to play Esmeralda. Annie Russell answered an advertisement. She was in short dresses, with her hair down her back and sixteen years old. "Now, my little girl, run back to ! your good mother and your Sunday j school lesson." said the dramatist klnd ! ly. "The stage is not for such as you. Run along, my dear." The little girl obeyed dutifully, but with no Intent of accepting the dis missal as final. At the place where she was boarding was an actress who starred in the small towns In "East Lynne," and from her Annie Hussell borrowed an elaborate stage gown with a long train which fihe plastered with Jewelry, also borrowed. She put on high heeled shoes and piled her hair on the top of her head. Thus ar rayed she again applied to Mr. Gillette for the position. He talked with her without a suspicion that he had seen her before, and later he said to tho manager: "Well, I think that girl might do. Of course we can easily make her look younger, and some good fairy will have to teach her how to dress. But she Is certainly the most Intelligent look ing applicant we have had." And that is how Annie Russell se cured the engagement that made her fume. -Evervbodv's Muiraztne. A HOUSE DIVIDED. The Hriion a Planned Uvoie Dinner Won a Failure. Most persons have had the experi ence of walking with a friend out of step and trying to shift Just at tho moment when the friend also makes the attempt. This is an Instance of thwarted hurinony much like that which appears in a story told by a London Journal of an elderly couple. They were childless and had never been united by the bond of other Uvea linked with their own. So they were always In a state of well bred disa greement. On the subject of meals they disa greed thoroughly, and each usually suggested a dish for the Sunday diu ner which the other did not approve. One Saturday the man came homo from market with a basket. "You needn't worry about tomor row's dinner any more, Maria. I've got it." "And so have I, George. You were so undecided"— "Undecided! I told you what I want ed." "Well, I mean yon didn't decide as I did. So I bought a goose." "Why, so have I. I told you I'd like a goose." "Well, now we are agreed for once anyway." "Yes, and I suppose we'll have cold goose and stewed goose for the next two weeks." They relapsed Into their usual si lence. Sunday forenoon the wife asked, "Do you want a little quince In the apple sauce with your goose?" "Your goose, you mean?" "No, I don't. It seemed so absurd to have two geese In the house that " sent mine to Aunt Jane." "What! I sent mine to Uncle Joe!" Why Jap* Admire the Carp.

"The manufacturers ure the 'cells' which form the essential parts of every gland. Indeed cells appear be fore us as the veritable workmen of the whole body, ranging from nerve cells, which rule ns, to the cells that build up and produce our bones. Now, in the glands of the body these work men, each a microscopic unit of proto plasm or living matter, discharge the function of making from the blood whatever product a gland may offer ns Its contribution to life's processes. The cells which compose our liver are bile makers in addition to their performing certain other curious works represent ing the liver's duties. Other cells In the glands of our eyes manufacture our tears. Others again secrete the gastric Juice by which the food is acted upon in the stomach. A fourth set of cells produces pancreatic Juice in the sweet bread, and a fifth set supplies the sa liva. "Tears, saliva and bile and so forth are all employed directly through their being poured outward on the food or into various organs. Even the oil that lubricates our Joints represents a se cretion which Is perpetually being pro duced and Insinuated between the sur faces that move one upon the other. When, however, we come to consider 'internal secretions' a very different state of matters falls to bo noted. Here we meet with substances that are not poured outwardly, but inward ly. The work of internal secretion Is performed by certain glands. The thy roid gland in the neck Is one of them. This is a gland which grows very large in goiter or 'Derbyshire neck,' an ailment of hard water districts, if the secretion of this gland is not duly add ed to the blood disease of a very dis tinct type appears, and it is cured when the physician administers to the patient the thyroid gland substance of the sheep. "Even the sweetbread itself, though It does make a definite fluid of use in digestion, seems also to supply a some thing necessary to the blood, for we find that diabetes Is always of more serious type where the sweetbread Is involved.

He IJked to Preaoh. A Scotch minister tells of an old fashioned brother of the church who insisted on preaching two long ser mons every Sunday. This feature in his character he exhibited in the winter months to a very trying extent. 1 Mir ing the rest of the year there were two services, at 11 and 2 o'clock, separated by an interval of an hour or more, but when the days were short, as many of Ids congregation came from considera ble distances, it was desirable that they should be able to reach their homes before It was dark. Rut it was not only desirable, but imperative, that they should have two sermons. This was accomplished by having only one meeting, beginning at 111 o'clock, and doing away with the interval. There were then two sermons separated by the singing of a short psalm. Hl* Little Dtll. When Brander Matthews went to his club one evening, according to the Bookman, he went to the letter box and looked through the compartment marked "M"and found therein u very peremptory dun from a tailor. Mr. Matthews was puzzled, as he had had no dealings with the insistent tailor, until he again looked at the envelope and found that he had unwittingly opened a letter belonging to another member of the club? so he put the bill back In the envelope and returned It to the compartment. As Mr. Matthews was turning togo he noticed the mem ber for whom the bill was intended coining toward the letter box. A min ute later he came Into the reading room, where Mr. Matthews was sitting with several others. Taking from its envelope the bill, lie read it attentively for a few minutes, sighed, tore it into bits, then, with a wink and the leer of an invincible conqueror, commented, "Poor, silly little girl." The Fahl« In ItiiNnla. This fable, dealing with the fall of Witte, the Russian finance minister, Is related In a brochure entitled "A Glance at the Secrets of Russian Policy," pub lished at Vienna: "The czar dreamed the following singular dream: He saw three cows, one fat, one lean and one blind. The next day he sent for the metropolitan Palladius and begged him to explain the dream, but the metropol itan declined. The czar then sent for Father John of Kronstadt and made the same request of him. Father John stroked his long curly hair with his hand and made reply in the following words: 'Your majesty, I understand yotir dream In this way: The fat cow Is the finance minister, the lean one la the Russian people and the blind one'— 'Don't be afraid. Go on,' said the czar. 'The blind cow is your majesty!'" 'l'he Habit of I rihafipiiienn.

"It is not generally known that when a squad of United States regular sol diers tires a salute with what purport to be blank cartridges they are really firing bullets," said 1111 employee of Frankford arsenal recently. Continu ing, he said: '•Of course the only effect sought In a salute is tiie production of noise, and in the old days of the Springfield rifle, with Its perfectly straight cartridges, it was easy to load a blank with a charge of black powder and a paste board wad and insure its proper con finement by 11 heavy crimp at tho end of the shell.

I'IINMIIIIC of the Cowboy. The cowboy is gone from Indian Ter ritory. Allotment lias practically broken up the cattle business in that territory, and this year there will be almost a to tal absence of the big herds which have for years grazed its rich grasses. The In dian agent states that there seems to be no move whatever on the part of cattlemen to take grazing leases this year, and there will be none. Leases of this kind cannot be made for a pe riod longer than one year, and as most of the allotments are being fenced the cowman cannot longer handle his cat* tie under the old regime. The Here ford and Shorthorn have taken the place of the Texas ranger, and tho herds have been broken up into small bunches, owned and cared for by the farmers. MEN'S DRESS CLOTHES.

It puzzles us often, too, to know how It Is that for so many different occa sions black is considered to tie the most fashionable shade for our mascu line attire and not merely fashionable, but the only proper one, for which in our society there is no alternative. It may be argm-d, as it is with the silk hat, that it Is so severely respectable, but if we could accustom ourselves to the Idea the same might bo said of white, which would have the advan tage of being much less gloomy. Clear ly the black is an old fashion, and as for its application to evening dress, in which it Is most of all de rigueur now, while there was a time when our an cestors might tastefully dress them selves in almost all the colors of tho rainbow for the evening, the adoption of black simply came about through a paragraph In a celebrated novel, and it is the latter we have to thank for tho fact that we are not now permitted to wear aught but the most solemn gar ments at the time when we feel, to say tiie least, more satisfied with all about us and the world in general than at any other period of tiie day. JJulwer Lyttou's novel, "Pelham," was the cul prit, and it is a letter in this book pur porting to have been written by Lady Frances Pelham to her son that set the fashion. Lady Frances writes: "Apro pos of the complexion, I did not like that blue coat you wore when I last saw you. You look best in black, which is a great compliment, for peo ple must be very distinguished in ap pearance to do so." The man of the day read these lines and weighed them carefully, and what more natural than that he should straightway come to the conclusion that black was the one shade which for evening wear suited him perfectly? As soon as he could he discarded all his colors and took to It, every man of him. Chambers' Jour nal. Hraann Why Birds Make ToilH. As bird fashions do not change, the lady birds of today wear the same kind of dresses their Krandmothers wore and are never troubled about style. Two suits a year are quite enough for most birds, but they need to take great care of them. Each sep arate feather must be cleaned and look ed over and tiie useless ones pulled out You have seen a canary preening his feathers by lifting them and smoothing them out with his bill, and you have thought him vain to do this so often. If you neglect to comb your hair it will become tangled and look untidy, but more serious tilings happen to a bird who does not comb his feath ers. These feathers are not packed close together, you know, but lie loose, anil have places between them filled with air. When a bird wants to get warmer lie lifts ids featlters so that these air spaces may be larger, but If his feathers are tangled or wet and dirty he could not raise them, and soon lie could not keep the heat in his little body and would die, of course.
