Other and higher pursuits he tack up; the better ment of the condition of mankind by education bane his goal. In the es- tablishment of universities and li- braries he finds a pleasure he could néver have found in bis merk millions. As a money maker he could not but at times be conscious that his success meant the failure of some other pro- ducer; as a promoter of education he has the consciousness of doing good to many without causing any possible suffering. J. Prerpont Morgan is another strik- ing example, His millions, in them s:lves, brought io satisfaction. A mere gold-heaper he could not be, He became a hunter after the rare art treaswrds of the world. His anti guarian collection, his old-world paint ings kring him real pleasure.

In every instance the pursuit of sume object is the real source of ene joyment; the attainment of that ob ject leaves a void in the heart.

There fun and profit are strangely mingled in the marriage festivities, for the bride the i and rarely fsjls to get enough to en- able her to begin honsckeeping with comfort, After the wedding feast a dance is in order, and at that dence every man who would distinguish. lmself must onee in the evening at least claim the bride for a partner. The honor of dancing with her, however, is .not to be obtained lightly, The aspirant must win the privilege and pay for it. . in ope corner of the room mother of the bride has taken up her position with a plate in her lap. The wise woman has chosen that plate | carelatly. It is made after the plan {of an eating house coffee cup and could not justly. be described as frail. The gallant 'who wishes to dance with the bride--and, as has been said, all are in honor hound .to do so-- must pull out a piece of silver and throw it into the plate. Not until he has succeeded in breaking or chipping that almost invingible piece of crock- ery has he won the ' honor he seeks. Few succeed in making an impression upon the plate' for less than a sum equal to fifty cents of our money. The money thus accumulated goes to the bride and not unusually amounts to seventy-five or ome hundred dol- lars, even where the crowd is appar: ently as poor as it can well be, This sum in a gural district of Poland is enough to start the young couple fair- ly in housekeeping. hy HOMES OF WILD CREATURES.
