I low to make a living is a question that has to be met by every man not only for himself, but in the majority of cases for his sons and in too many cases, perhaps, for his daughters al so. The praises that we bestow up- j on men who are called self-made be ! cause they started in life from hum J ble surroundings lead men to believe 1 that there are particular vantage ; points in life from which to make the I i 1 ! start "that insures a safe trip, a sue-1 j cessful career and a grand climax." i In support of this notion we hear young men constantly bewailing j their fate, because they have no cap- j ; ital to begin business with; they j 1 wore born too poor or they lacked ; the necessary education to command j a position in the world. To expose the folly of these com ! plaints, let us take a practical view j of the real opportunities along with tne actual obstacles to success inai ; beset the paths of the rich and poor j success that ! youth of the land. We will take the instance of two young men born of equally virtuous parents and with equal mental endowments. The pa rents of one are rich and the boy at tends the most stylish and approved schools and academies in the haul, ends his scholastic life with a colleg iate diploma. He is now 22 years of age. and so far as the practical busi ness of life is concerned.- lit i but j born again into the world. ''ne f life is a i 01 pleasure ai m;- Mite 01 iuc i.- at ruling passion. The possession of pochei money, max no naru-earneu i experience ever taugut him the value of, opens every avenue to pleasure and dissipation. Men and women who have drilled themsoives in every 1 measure or method that is most sur to complete his destruction beset ins ; path. If he possesses a latent love I for liquor, cards, racing or any of i the other weaknesses of our nature, there is every opportunity and temp tation open to cultivate the passion in him. If he is a man of naturally strong passions he needs must have a strong nature to conquer these be setting sins. The boy born of poor parents re ceives a primary education in the public schools, where the teachers have no fear of offending the parents and, therefore, require every scholar j u. come u-, to u u.u muhuu.u. n'l. i. ... : li , l ,.i :.. jt. . .1 . ! i.ie on is ueu -.ouuueu in uie ea- , mentary branches, and-- if lie lias a genuine love for knowledge he will find no obstacles in the way of ac quiring it that a little energy cannot overcome. At the age of 17 or IS his necessities require that he should "go into business," which means that he must enter a store or take up a trade. Having never felt the im maculate purity that surrounds the youth of line clothes and tender bands, he feels no mortification, but an honest pride when he enters the humblest position in the store. At the age of 22, the time when the wealthy boy is being born again into ihe world, he lias acquired five or six years of business experience. Hav ing no time to waste or money to squander, he presents no attraction to the leeches of society. The gam blers, the fast women and the pro fessional "bracer" have no use for him. His passion must be strong indeed if he goes astray. The rich boy, if he weathers the storm, needs must enter a profession and waste from five to ten years of i,;.. i;r , r,,-. ntt.m,,, i,,m,i c-,.if . suTiPortimr. At this, the turninir period of life, enters the vital issue. Ciod lias implanted in our natures loves and aspirations. He who feels that he ha.j trod all the paths of pleasure and of pride has no invent-1 he to further action, and is almost j sure to become a 'gilded pauper," ! while he to whom these desires lire sent a freshness, a hunger of the heart, is sure to throw all his energy into the fight that masters the sit uation with an ease that challenges the admiration of men at the ac complishments of this self-made man.

My head is swimming now every thing is sminiming. We have been on the gulf today, anchored far out on the coral reefs, and while we fish ed the boat was gently heaving and rocking on the restless waves, and now that we are at home the same mot ion has followed us. The room is swinging like a pendulum. Sandford Bell, the old veteran conductor on the State road, told me that lie could tell where the train was in the dark est night by the swing of the cars around the curves, and just so the old sailors and fishermen can tell how deep the water is by the breathing of the billows. Major Shaw is an old sailor. He lives down the bay a few miles and came up this morning in his own boat to take the family to the grouper bank. My wife was afraid to venture, but the girls and I and Joe took passage on Ihe fast little craft, and with a good wind we crossed the harbor and through the pass and were soon away out a cou ple of miles into the dark-green wa ters of the gulf. The old major knows the haunts of all the fish the tarpons and grunts and groupers and red snappers and sharks. lie has passed his three-score years and ten, but is as lively and clieertui as a school boy. Tire girls sang some of their seafaring songs as we scudded along and the major joined in the cho rus and led the heavy bass like a true chorister. lie took his bearings from objects on the shore and when the two lines met he gave Joe his orders to let down sail and cast anchor. We are now in the center of th roupor bank." he said, "and if the ! ,rrouivrs are not at home thev ouirht ! to be." j ''Now, if you girls get seasick you I must brave it off. Feed the fishes j but don't stop fishing. I had some j Boston ladies out here last week and j one of them fed the fishes every ten j i minutes, but she never stopped fish- never stopped fish-, j ing and caught more groupers than j ida excels that of anywhere else.

The grunts are a species if largo bream, averaging about a pound apiece. They are known as the sailor's joy. and are the best of pan tish. When taken from the hook they grunt, making a croaking noise just like little pigs when sucking. We were out about live hours, and our catch half filled a dry goods box that was three feet square. I had never seen such fishing before. One of the girls caught two large group ers and seventy-one grunts. Anoth er caught seven groupers, but her grunts were not counted. Joe some times brought up two at a time one on each hook. We fished until the cords wore tender hands to the quivk and we were actually tired of catching tish. I thought about Mur phy and Theodore Smith, and wished that they had been there. Poor Murphy, who, when the dogwood is in bloom, goes down to the river and watches his cork all the day long and comes home swinging two or three cats and an eel and a redhorse and is I happv i We were not after tarpon this time, but we saw a school of them, with their silvery sides shining to the sun as they sported on top of the water. The old major caught a balloon fish. It was about 13 inches long, and had as an attachment a balloon filament on its breast and this was expanded or contracted with its breath. It was pure white and velvety, w ith beautiful lace points in regular rows all over it and when distended would hold a hatful of air. The major said he had been fishing here for eight years and had never seen one before. Even Joe, who had seen everything, had never seen one. 1. it , .. 1.1....1. ; laiye iiioiu 110111 a uuivi nnust n. ; iut it is barbed instead of smooth. j The barbs of the grain or spear sank into his liody and off he went for life and liberty, carrying the !oat with him, until he was exhausted. The J girls brought home its tail and sting I as trophies, but left the horrible ! creature in the sea. What did we do with the fish we caught? WI13' the old major walked up town after we landed and told the people there was a box of fish down there and they could go down and help themselves. Our girls are sup plying our table with fish now fresh fish that cost nothing but sport. In fact, it is sport all the time, for it is bathing or fishing or shelling or crabbing nearly every day in the week. They went out crabbing the other clay when the tide was unusu ally low and had uncovered the sand banks. In the skim of the water were numerous holes from four to six inches in diameter and in every hole was a crab. An expert runs his hand down and seizing a claw pulls with a strong, quick jerk and lets go just as quick, as soon as he is out. The creature when in the hole is folded up and helpless, but as soon as he is out he can strike a ter rible blow with his claws a blow that will go through a man's hand and never let go until it thunders. They brought home some that meas ured eighteen inches froru tip to tip of their savage fingers. Their flesh is fine eating, they say, but somehow I don't like to eat anything that is ugh' except, perhaps, a hog. Mrs. Aunsnaugh give us all a treat on Friday. She chartered a boat and took thirteen of us down to the Indian pass and gave us a splendid picnic there among the palmettos and cactus that adorn the island. Old Dad whetted his appetite on the raw coon ovsters that abounded there and he said they were good, The women folks all bathed in the surf while we men hunted for rare J and beautiful shells. At the dinner j hour we gathered at the festive cloth j that was spread upon the sandy; beach and such a generous feast , could not be found outside of Flori- i da.

The progress of business improve ment during the last week has been slightly retarded by the prevalence of unseasonably cold and storm v weather. This has momentarily re stricted demand for some products for current consumption; and labor troubles have interfered with the improvement in building trades, and have caused some falling off in the production of pig iron. The general tendency of commercial and indus trial affairs, however, is still in the direction of gradual betterment. Manufacturers of boots and shoes, iron and steel and textile fabrics are better employed, and the exhaustion of distributers' stocks has compelled larger and more general buying for their replenishment. Operations ex tending into the future are still con ducted on a very conservative basis, owing, in large part, to the uncer tainty resulting from the delay in tariff legislation. Purchases of Spanish coin for su gar payments in Cuba and a growing demand for active capital in Europe nave leu 10 the renewal 01 gold ex ports on a considerable scale; but in view of the large specie holdings of the banks, the outflow of the yellow metal has caused no uneasiness in fi nancial circles. Merchandise exports in two weeks of April have been $435,"(3 less than the' were last year for the corresponding period; but in the previous four weeks there was a comparative gain of "$7,7Ul?,014, and owing to the heavy shrinkage in im ports trade balances on merchandise account alone are stili running strongly in favor of the United States. Failures in the United States and Canada during the last week numbered 252, as against 20U for the corresponding period last year. Cotton prices have declined i of a cent per pound, as a result of specu lative discouragement by the contin ued liberal receipts and cautious bu--ing for consumption. The amount of.the crop in sight is already about 175.000 bales larger than the entire production of the previous year; and as yet there is no indication of the sharp falling off in the movement which has been predicted for several weeks past. European stocks are unusually large, and the world s sup ply of American cotton is only 277, ()0 bales less than it was at the cor responding period two years ago. when the big crop of IS'Jl was being marketed. Exports this week have fallen off, but for the season the to tai lias been vnj.uou uaies in excess of that of the corresponding period in lSirJ-tKl. Business in cotton good? has been comparatively qukt, owing in part to the check to retail distri bution by unfavorable weather. Bullish confidence in the wheat markets was given a considerable setback by the Federal crop report, which showed the average condition of the crop at the close of March to have been 9.3 per cent, better than it was a year ago. General and ex tensive liquidation followed this pub lication, and before the decline was checked values were C cents per bushel lower than Wy were a week ago. i rom the lowest point, Howev er, there has been a recovery of 2 cents per bushel in Chicago and cents in New York. There is still much of uncertainty as to the extent of the injury to wheat by the severe weather late in March and br the continued deficiency of moisture in the region west of the Mississippi River. There are complaints of dry weather in France and in some other parts of Europe, and of continued drought in California, which have given some support to the specula tion for higher prices. Export de mand has continued moderate, but the interior movement is smaller than it was at the corresponding pe riod last year, and visible stocks are slowly decreasing. Corn prices have declined 1 to of a cent per bushel, owing to larger interior receipts and the increasing movement bv the water routes to the seaboard. Foreign demand is not active, but there is a steady, fair in quiry, and weekly clearances from Atlantic ports continue to exceed those of the corresponding period last year. There has been a contin ued large export movement in pro visions and fair activity in domestic trade. Chicago speculation has been more active', and prices have ad vanced 80 cents per barrel on pork and 35 cents per 100 pounds on short ribs and lard. The Western packing continues large, and since March 1 has aggregated 1,4. o, 000 hogs an increase of 850.000 over that of the corresponding season in 1893.

Teach Them to Iiead the Newspaper. Under the above heading the Wel don News gives some good advice ti parents. A gotnl many people think they canuot atTord to sjhmhI a few dollars a year for newspapers for the the children to read.

There is at hast one man in town who has the courage of his convic tions on the liquor question. In one of his closets he has had a jug of peach brandy for a long time. It was getting along alxmt three or four years old and increasing in fragrance with each successive year, ft per fumed the closet so that whoever en tered it could smell the essence of the ripened poach. It smelt good, you may guess; in fact it smelt ten good, and that explains why it is not there to-day. The head of the fami ly didn't want his children coming in daihT contact with the temptation and didn't want to go too near him self. So the other day he took the jug and emptied its fragrant con tents on a pile of chips in the wood yard. There was a gurgling sound at the jug's mouth, a wild delirium of fragrance in the air, a word of re proach ''Boss, Boss, Boss!" from the hired boy, and that jug of peach brandy was no more.
