The human race may be divided into three classes male, female and the sum-mer resort fakir. The term fakir is used in no derogatory sense, bnt simply for convenience, inasmuch as it can be made to apply as fittingly to the proprietor of the colossal hotel as to the vender of peanuts, "five a bag." To the fakir the rest of mankind i3 bnt means to personal aggrandizement. At the beach you will find him in his best estate. Upon the arrival of the boat or train he arouses himself from the lethargy which hangs upon him during the fallow hours of the day, and whether he be the Jehu who would thrust his carriage on to you that dusty and remote reminiscence of gaudy grandeur on wheehi the peanut purveyor, the hotel runner, the Gany-mede of the sod fountain, the pistol gallery man, the ringmaster of the fly-ing horses, or any other of the scores of varieties into which he is divided, the fakir is active and persistent. Here is so much humanity which must be coaxed, wheedled, forced we had al-most said swindled into giving up its dimes and its dollars. It is the fakir's fair game. What does he know or care of the pleasures of a day's outing, either In anticipation or in What idea has he of the tender relations of swain and lass, of husband and wife, or parent and child? Nothing. Every-thing is fish which comes to his net. He looks upon humanity merely as the bear-ers of money money which it is his business to acquire. He thinks of noth-ing else, he sees nothing else, he knows nothing else. Ask him a question. If he can make a dollar or a dime by an-swering it definitely he will answer it with businesslike promptness; but if there is no money in it you get no satis-faction out of him. He will answer you brusquely that he "don't know," or he will gaze upon you with a pitying inso-lence which is too deep for words, or he will put you on the wrong scent as a punishment for giving no cent to him. The summer rosort fakir is a cynic of cynics. Other people have their days of recreation. To the fakir the world is full of pleasure seekers. All that come within his purview are on pleasure bent. He only must work. It is not strange, therefore, that in a spirit of revenge ho should levy war and issue letters of marque and reprisal upon pleasure seekers in contempt. How can he re-spect those who will visit a place whose charms are as meretricious as the paint and powdur of the lady across the theatre footlights, and where one voluntarily lays himself open to the assaults, bland-ishments, contumely and despisal of the fakir aforesaid, to be bled by him, re-buffed and sent home empty and sorrow-ful? Boston Transcript. EIGHT HOURS ENOUGH A Lotter From John Burns Brought Out by a Heated Argument in New York. gEOET DAY OF LAIOE AND DRINK "Leizure Today Does Not Mean Drinking, but Opportunity for Thought," Says John Bums. At the ' temporance congress held in New York city in June Samuel Gompors said the eight hour movement was in favor of temperance, and that there would be less drinking among the work-ingme- n if the workday was shortened and thereby made loss exhaustive. Mr. L. Thompson declared that this state-ment was incorrect, and cited Chancellor Goschen, of the English exchequer, a3 authority for the assertion that the re-duction of the hours of labor of the London dock laWrers only tended to in-crease the drinkijjg habit among them. Mr. Gompers dottVted Thompson's state-ments and wrote both to Mr. Goschen and John Burns, leader of the dock laborers in their big strike. Mr. Goschen's secretary writes that Mr. Goschen never said anything of the kind. What he did say in his budget speech was that the recent increased prosperity of all claras in Great Britain has been accompanied by an increase in the consumption of intoxicating liquors. "All classes," he said, "have combined to toast the prosperity of the country." Mr. Burns wrote: "London, June 28. "Deab Sir The chancellor of the ex-chequer did not say that the increase in wages and reduction of hours of labor of the dock laborers of London had merely tended to increase their drunkenness and largely contributed to an increase in the treasury from the liquor traffic. His statement was that the increase of two millions was due to the fact that the peoplo had been toasting the prosperity of trade in the country. He had no refer-ence to any class, but did say that there had been a great increase in the duty from rum. "I attended a meeting last night of 6,000 dock laborers, and asked those who ought to know what was the effect of higher wages and better conditions, and the universal opinion was that the work-er-a of London who had received better wages are more sober than ever they were. As an abstainer myself I am de-lighted at the conduct of the dockers, and more than pleased at the diminu-tion not only of drinking, but of betting among them, due in no Bmall measure to the fact that their leaders, Messrs. Mann, Tillett and others, are temper-ance men. The greatest enemies I have in London are the betting men and pub-licans. Their enmity is a testimony to this fact, that we ask for reduction of hours, for more leisure and education, and urge the men to spend their higher wages in home comforts. In twenty years the amount spent in liquor per head of population has decreased 20 per cent., while the aggregato has increased through growth of population. "In England, as elsewhere, the short hours' movement has always tended to sobriety and increased the intelligence of the worker. In my own trade, twelve or fourteen years ago secretaries were bribed to transfer the meeting place from the Pig and Whistle to the Brown Bear, so that the publicans might have the profit from drink consumed. So great has been the change that the pro-prietor of the Brown Bear will almost give you 20 to take the meeting away, n3 the drink consumed does not pay him to have the meeting thore. At boat races, bean feasts, holiday gatherings, etc., the change in the drinking habits i3 most marked. Side by side with the demand for shorter hours is also the for free libraries, parks and open spaces, gymnasiu, cricket and football grounds. "Leisure today does not mean drink-ing, but the opportunities for thought, education and true thrift, which is to men whose long hours make them animals and content with a brutal existence. The rich man who drinks does so because he has nothing better to do. This means that the poor man, who provides him with the means for drink-ing, has to work longer hours than he should, and as a consequenco often heals the monotony of his toil by bouts of drinking, the cause of which the eight hour advocates are going to remove by equalizing the labor of both. Thus the lazy man will have something to take an interest in, while the previously over-worked slave will have leisure, without which manhood and its best character-istics are impossible. Yours truly, "John Burns." MARBLE1ZING PAPER. Dexterous Manipulation of Gum Senegal Does the Work in a Highly Sat-isfactory Manner. THE VIEWS OF MODERN JUDGES. Where Crimes Originate The Effect of Drink Upon Crime Crime and Women. One of the funniest things that any-body ever imagined in thiti world was the notion of marbling paper. That is the name applied to the sort of red and va.i-colore-d ornamentation on the edges cf nicely bound books, and on their bindings, too, sometimes. Every one has observed such markings, but it is safe to say that not one person out of 10,000 has ever taken the trouble to spec-ulate as to how the effect is produced. There is nothing commonplace about the process. On the contrary it is a marvel worthy of contemplation by the eewthote and the sage. You can seethe thjng done any time you please at the government printing office if you care to ask the privilege. There is a tree in Senegal, Africa, from which exudes a gum, just as any other ort of gum exudes from a cherry or other kind of tree. The natives of Sene-gal collect the gum from this peculiar tree and sell it to contractors, who send it all over the world in the shape of lit-tle hard lumps. It iB commercially known as "gum Senegal." 'J.ie most important use for it is this one of mar-bling paper. For this purpose a solution is made of the gum in water. A tank, say four feet long and two feet wide, is filled with the solution, and then the operation is ready to be performed. At the government printing office you can see it done any day; the courteous attendant in charge will show you how he does it. - To begin with, you will see nothing bnt a tank of a foot or so in depth filled with a liquid not especially doscribable. On a shelf close by are half a dozen paint pots filled with most brilliant water colors. The operator takes the blue brush and sprinkles the surface of the liquid in the tank with drops of that color. . Then he seizes the brush from the vermilion pot and sprinkles a spat-ter of bright red also. Next he reaches forthe green and distributes that. Final-ly a sprinkling of yellow is employed to wind np with. Now the expert takos a long stick armed with fine teoth like a comb, and with it combs the surface of the liquid in the tank just once from one end to the other. Then he gives it a single comb crosswise. The result of this is a most onrioua mingling of the blue, ver-milion, green and yellow.. Next, on the surface of the fluid he carefully lays a sheet of white paper, and lifts it off again by one corner. Lo, the sheet has reoetved a reproduction of the water color pattern from th liquid most elab-orate and most beautiful. To reproduce it, even Imperfectly, by hand would take months of labor. Each color in the pat-tern is as distinct and brilliant as water colors can possibly be. This, however, is but a simple pattern. . The expert takos a small comb with wire teeth and makes a wiggle waggle over the surface of the mixture. He lays down another white sheet upon it, and behold, a lovely design resembling a col-lection of conventionalized peacock's feathers appears. Another wiggle wag-gle of the wire comb and a sheet simi-larly treated exhibits a series of gor-geous arabesques altogether beyond de-scription as to their brilliance and in-tricacy. But this is not all. The operator stirs up the liquid in the tank again, so that all the colors disap-pear. Thon he chooses other paints, making gr.een the predominant one, and sprinkles them over the Burface. As a magician might exercise his wand over a reflecting pool he disturbs the smooth solution with the wires, and weird and fantastic dosigns spring into view upon . the white sheets that he floate for an in-stant and then lifts from the fluid. Giants, hobgoblins and monsters of all degrees pursue each other across the paper with glaring eyes and contorted attitudes. m When you were a little boy or girl per-haps yon have rubbed with your slate pencil upon your school slate, and then with a moistened finger spread the whitey substance over the wooden bound stratum of plutonio mineral. You have wondered thon to see what astonishiug demons and creatures inconceivable started out upon the slate, caught by the eye of your imagination. It is the same way with the wk of the artist in marbling for books, though he does not dare to produce such fantastic things to please the popular taste. Only the com-monplace sort of marbling does one ' find on books and such things; whatever extraordinary the expert produces ha keeps for himself, perhaps, to show what wonderful result the accidental mingling of random tints on a solution of gum Senegal will bring forth. Washington Star. Forgot to Lock the Safe. "I was down on the Kennebeo the other day," said a local traveling man, "and I took a run up to a bright little town not many miles from Merrymeet-in- g bay. The town was in quite a tir and the subject of the con-versation along the streets and in the stores, was the peculiar condition in which the National bank of the village had been loft the night before. The regular cashier was sick and his sub-stitute was an elderly man living some distance out of the village. Ho closed his work at the usual hour and went home. The next morning the passers by at daylight saw through the open win-dows the vault door open and the inside door as well. The time lock could be beard ticking merrily along, and there through the open door were piles of bank notes and cold cash. It was a clean case of forget on the part of the substitute cashier, but we conldnt help thinking how many a bur-glar bold or how many a tramp or sneak thief will roll over and kiek himself upon each of his most painful spots as he loarns of the fortune that lay there in this unexampled way all that long night, though almost within his grasp. Lewis-to- n Journal. Good Summer Drink for Hard Worker). A very good summer drink is made by putting about two spoonfuls of oatmeal into a tumbler of water, or, in making a larger quantity, two and a half pounds of oatmeal in a pail of cool water. It is made still more refreshing by the addi-tion of a few slices of lemon, though this is not absolutely necessary. The west-ern hunters and trappers long ago con-sidered this the beat of drinks, as it is at once nourishing and satisfying, yet A wide and long experi-ence, especially in Europe, warrants praise of the virtues of oatmeal water as a summer drink for men engaged in hot and laborious occupations. It is drunk in considerable quantities at many of tie rolling mills, blast furnaces and glass works throughout England and Scotland as well as in this country. It matters not what heat the workman undergoes, ho may consume any desired quantity of the oatmeal water without any injurious consequences whatever. New York Commercial Advertiser. The cases of eviction among the cloak-make-increase daily. Two very sad cases were added to the list today. They were E. Reiss, wife and four children, who were put out of their miserable home at No. 120 Orchard street for non-payment of rent. Reiss has been out of work for six weeks, and the poor fellow and his family are deserving of charity. What littlo furniture his rooms con-tained when the strike began has long since been sold for food, and two poor mattresses and a single chair are all that are left. New York Telegram. Boys Kill a Lion. While hunting cows near Rye, A. T., Arthur Gibson, a lad of 15, and his brother Bertie, five years younger, en-countered a lion which their dogs had brought to bay on a rock. Arthur sent his younger brother home for a gun, but the little fellow was so overcome with fright and fatigue that he did not reach home promptly. After waiting two hours Arthur left the dogs to hold the attention of the lion and went himself for the gun. He returned alone and kill-ed the lion, the dogs in the meantime having been badly torn by the animal. The lion was a full grown male, and measured eight feet from tip to tip. The name of tho circus from which it escap-ed is not given in tho dispatches. Ex-change. Views of Modern Judges. "Almost every crime has its origin, more or less, in drinking." Judge Gur-ne- y. "Ninety-nin- e cases out of every hundred are caused by drinking." Judge Erskine. "If it were not for drink, you (jury) and I would have noth-ing to do." Judge Pattison. "If ail men could be persuadod from the use of intoxicating drinks, the office of judge would be a sinecure." Judge Alderson. "Three-fourth- s of the cases of crime have thoir origin in public houses and beer shops. "Judge Wightman. "Intemper-ance has destroyed large numbers of people, and will, at its present rate of in-crease, in time destroy thecountry itself." Justice Grove. "I can keep no terms with a vice that fills our jails and des-troys thecomfort of homes and the peace of families, and debases and brutalizes the people of these islands." Chief Jus-tio- e Cotaridge. Virginia Law Journal. "He has the faculty of bringing out the worst in a man's nature, and he has succeeded in bringing it out of me so that I almost hate myself for it." I have ex-tracted the above from a private letter from an overseer who is leaving his position, chiefly because his employer has not studied to bring out the best there is in a man. What a text this would be for a minister who understood the truths of nature. Fibre and Fabric. A Queer rince to Swarm. Bees sometimes select queer abodes, but one of the queerest yet is the home of a newly swannod colony in Augusta, They have taken possession of a ventil-ator flue of the chimney leading from the clerk of court's office at the court house and as many as fifty are at times buzzing around Clerk of Courts Choate's desk. As yet they have stung no one, bnt the occupants of the room do not feel quite at ease. Lewiston Journal. The question has arisen in many men's minds, Is there any distinction between the rich capitalist and the poor laborer? Thoughtful citizens ask themselves, Is it possible that the law against con-spiracy can be so construed that it only applies to the man whose wealth is tho earnings of his hands and his training in the field of labor? The Louisville, Ky., trade and labor assembly asks for the passage of a law providing for a state board of arbitration with power to enforce its decisions, which shall be final. Losing Teeth ftt Sen. Those people who may be unfortunate enough to have taktm to artificial teeth should use exceeding circumspection when they go down to the sea in ships. "What a splendid dentist sea sickness is!

Several dentists have stated that it is by means an uncommon occurrence for persons to finish-- a voyage in a practical toothless And Difference In the Speakers.
