THE BRITISH MERCHANT WHO WANTS THE AMERICA CUP, some Idea~ of Sir Thomas Lipton's Ira- melees mmenee Business Interests iu Two Hemispheres -London, Ceylon, chi. cage, iiambur;: and Berlin All Pay Tribute to This Mau Who Was Once a Dock Laborer, Sir Thomas Johnstone Lipton, obellen- ger for the America's cup iu a yacht race to b a eh 8d in A a9 don l x ��� w a llabor- er in New York City thirty years ago• His wealth is now conservatively placed At $20,000,000.

He is not a Yacht:mut, although a member of the Royal Hester Yacht Club. Hie challenge, which bas awakened marine sporting men in ell parts of the world, is said to be due wholly to his uuobangeeble polity of keeping the name of Lipton before the world. Sir Thomas was a passenger three or four years ago on an bast Indian steamer bound for Ceylon. While in the Red Sea the boat was disabled and it became necessary to throw overboard a part of Sher cargo. Lipton was an interested speo- tator of the preparations for lightening the .ship. He suddenly bolted the scene and by a 45 dicker with the chief engineer secured a stenoit, a paint brush and a pot of bleak paint. Then, to the astonishment of the cap- tain and passengers, he cheerfully labeled 'each box and bale thrown overboard: 'USE LIPTON'S TEAS. The cargo, 'of course, floated ashore, .and for miles in Araby and other lands the natives saw that legend. Subsequent - 1y the passengers of tbe injured steamer wore compelled to abandon it and take to ,emnall boats. On reaching land Sir Thomas was the first to make a cable 'office and wire the destruction of the boat and safety of the travelers to. London, Tha messageas wsigned. "Lipton." Of course hist name wan in every Eng .lisle newspaper the next morning signed to that message, and he was th.o best ad- tvertised wan in the kingdom. These two incidents in his career are charaateristio -of the man's purpose through his entire .life to always keep himself in evidence. His motto in dealing with the publio "Fair wares for a fair profit, and al• ways remember Lipton." He is a merchant pure and simple, and reputed to be the biggest merchant in. the world. He owns more stores and sells anon) tea than any .living man, anti be leas never been an adventurer or gambler, His money bears upon it no stain of blood. Here is a partial list of his ienniense time -Mess interests in two bemispberest In London sixty stores. In London and other places forty-two 'stares. Largest individual land owner in Cey- aon, raising tea, coffee and cocoa. Employs in Ceylon 4,000 natives. Warehouses in Colombo, Ceylon. Warehouses in India, with headquarters at Calcutta. Stores in Hamburg and Berlin. Paoking-houses in Chicago, where he kills as high as 3,000 hogs a day. Depot at Malta for the serving of mils- tary supplies to the British army and navy. A printing -house for bis own advertis- eng, employing 900 printers. He has on his pay rolls 10,000 people. The man is a Scotsman by birth, al- though be thinks tbat way baok in the vast some of bis people lived in County Ulster, which would make him Scotch- Irish. In manners, business methods, ,shrewdness and quickness of action be iappears to be a combination of Scotch and Irish. County Uistee was largely -settled by Snotsmen and the Presbyterian -faith prevails there as it does in John Calvin's "sin land." Sir Thomas is a Presbyterian, and a very good one at that, those say who know him best. His religion and nothing else ever in- terferes with the bigness of his inten- tions. Thirty-eight years ago Sir Thomas Lip ton was a messenger boy in a stationer's shop in Glasgow, and his father was a 'day laborer. The boy's wages were 0 'shillings and 0 pence per week. At night, 'when through with his work, he attend • ,ed wheel and in that way received his education. Some five or six years later, or about the time he was 18, he ran .away from borne and took passage in the -steerage of an Anchor liner for New York. Among his fellow passengers he found many who were sick and who needed the tittle comforts of life. He did for them the best he could and won their friend- ship. Arriving at the dock in New York •City, the place was lined with runners Sor various boarding-houses, all eager to ,capture the passengers. Lipton pushed through them and ran to the nearest betel. Bolting in on the surprised proprie- tor of the place, he shouted at him: "Will you board me free for a month if I bring, you forty patrons." The proprietor said he would. , Then Lipton returned to the dooks. found his friends of the steerage, brought them to the friendly hotel and lodged them. The landlord gave him a vocal with two other mem, and there he lived, boae•d free, for a month, .During this time be obtained work on the docks and saved a little money, Two years' ago, setting at dinner in Chicago, Sir Thomas turned to a Western friend and said to him: "When I carne over this time I was offered the best eabin and tivarters for my man and secretary. The best on the ship was at my command. It made ane. think of my first journey over in the. steerage, it was so different. I)o you ;enOW I never come to- New York but what I go and look at that hotel where I was lodged, the room in which I slept. and talk with the proprietor? You may senile; you kava always traveled. first* class, I once was not able to," After a short stay to New York be. traveled to South Carolina and worked in the rice fields, then visited Texas, and finally returned to New York as a stow- away o .neaten steamship, hip. "At that tinge," he said, years after. ward, "my sole ambition was to maks enough money to buy a barrel of Aneeri* can ,liolar and an American racking chair for my mother. I had the money in a year's time, and then I started back to. Scotian°, with the flour andthe rocking chair. I reached nip home in the night and waited until morning before going to .my parents.' house. I then took a cab, loaded myself, the flour and the chair into it, so that all the neighbors would see the collection; and I drove to the borne of my mother." The business start of Sir Thema% was a humble merchant of provisions, meati of the inferior order. Kis parents bad 2100 and they let hien add this to what ata brought baok with hien.

Eying his own remark that be lel.ored twenty-five hours out of the twenty-four.. At tate time he was a business man of some note the middleman was a groat factor in all transactions. What the con- aunier desired to secure from the producer bad to be secured through the inediutu of a third party, Lipton worked to do away with this third party, and when be bad he was able to sell cheaper than bis competitors who made no change. So far as possible he produced what he bad for sale and was content to enjoy only a penny's profit, providing there were many pennies coming in.

MINUTE SUBDIVISIONS, This Article Gives You e: Faint ilea of Jest Hew Small an 4t•ra Ia, You have probably been of the belief. which is very popular, tbat an atom is, lot us say, for example, a grain of sand, or a single particle of any fine granular substance. Such a fractional subdivision, however, whieh may be seen, felt and weighed, would, if put under a powerful microscope, assume the proportions of a huge bowider compared with an aotual atom, Some very interesting experiments have bean carried on by scientists to illustrate the minute subdivision of mat- ter that can be attained. Quite the most remarkable is that a000mplished with common mineral quartz. The substance was melted at a very high temperature, and then drawn out into fibrous threads that were of greater delicacy and tenuity than bed ever been obtained with any other substance. So great a fineness of thread, es It were, of this material has been attained that it bas been Invisible to the naked aye, and this exceeding thinness would taper in suoh a degree tbat the ends were invisible beneath a mioroscape. A fiber of unspun silk is about one - five -thousandth of an inch In diameter; if a hundred quartz filaments were woven like the threads of a rope they would about equal a thread of unspun silk. The most ingenious plan conceivable was devised in this experiment with quartz. The professor, after reducing the quartz at a very high temperature, touched a little very light arrow to the melted subetance, and discharged it by means of a small crossbow made for the purpose, which would cause the arrow to carry about 50 feet. As the arrow fiew through the air it spun the exceedingly fine thread of the fused quartz. If a piece of quartz of the size of a pipe bowl were fused and drawn out into a continuous thread it would make sufficient to girdle the earth a half-dozen times. Yet infinitely fine as is such a thread, a section of a thousandth of an inch long, it is estimated, would contain a million atoms. NOT VERY GRACEFUL. 1111111111111 Th.

Who Peculiar Featuresof the Eistedd- fod, the :Great welsh l(ational restive'. What the Isthmian games were to the anoh'nt Greeks, Eisteddfod is to the modern Welshman, an event wbioh brings the people together, ignoring all differ- ences. of opinion as to politics and reli- gion, Conquering all sectional feeling, and cementing the bonds which bind Welshmen; together in a common brother- hood. Title institution, peculiar to Wales. is of very ancient origin, The present name, however, which manse "session" or"sitting," was probably not used be- fore the twelfth century. in the fourth century, upon the departure of the Romans, Owainat Maxen Wledig was elected to the chief sovereignty among the Britons, and it was about this time that the motto, "The truth against the world," was adapted, and the laws of the Gorsedd codified. The first one held, of any note, took place in the sixth cen- tury. The Prince of North Wales wished to prove that vocal music was superior to instrumental, and he offered a prize to the bards and minstrels, who should swim over the Conway, The harpers. found themselves unable to play. es their instruments were wet, but the minstrels. had no trouble with their voices, Upon the annexation of Wales to Eng- land. Edward 1. deemed it wise to sanc- tion the Eisteddfod. by the famous seat- uta of .iihuddlan. During the times of Henry VII., Henry VITT., and Queen Elizabeth, the festival was held with the royal permission, Ta1T7 was a Welshman, Taffy was a thief, WAS` . the sneering couplet of the Engltah- rnan once upon a time, but he knows better now, realizing that the Welsh leave done a great work in the way of furthering native talent and fostering the latent genius of their country, and mho Eisteddfod has been the meansof brin ing before the public almost all the liter- ary men, musicians and poen of the little country, 'The Welsh declare that the Eisteddfod has been held since the time of the Druids, and seek to preserve some of the ancient forms, as the sacred stone, but whatever znay have been the history of it. from very ancient times it has been held annually. and only twice out of Wales, once at Liverpool and once .in London. The first part of the Eisteddfod is the Gorsedd halo by bards under the preei. doncy of the chief Druid. The word Druid. as here usad, ha* a loose construc- tion, and moans any minister of religion admitted c0 the Gorsedd. Thee ministers are, as a general thing, nonconformists, although sometimes even a bishop of the Ohnroh of England, has been known to nasi it, The Gorsedd is held within a circle of stones, in the light of day and in the open air, No Gnrsedd can be bald at night, or under a roof. In modern Welsh the word means "judgment," but in mediaeval Welsh 11 signified a "tumu• lus" or "hill," It is probable that the judgments of the Druids were given from a hill, whtch may account for the double signification. Gorsedd was the court and Eisteddfod the "sitting" which had been determined upon a year and a day previ- ously, The opening ceremonies are very im- posing. Three times the presiding Druid asks "is there peace?" while he and some assistants hold an unsheathed sword. As soon as he has received an affirmative answer three times he sheathes the eword and the court is declared open. A. prayer is offered to the Deity in the vernaoulart God, impart Tby strength; And in that strength reason; And in reason knowledge; And in knowledge justice; And in justice the lova of it And in that love the love of everything; And iii the love of everything the love of God, 0 Jesus, repress Injustice. The festival lasts for four days, and from all the villages, colliers, quarrymen and laborers, with their sweethearts decked in gayest attire, betake themselves to the 'steadied. Tha Eisteddfodam are held alternately in the North and South of Wales, and this year it was held in Cathay's Park at Cardiff. There was an innovation this year, delegates coming from Brittany, wearing the picturesque Breton costume, and other Celtic representatives, in the delegates from Scotland, wearing the Highland dress. Thoueands of persons witnessed the ceremonies of the Gorsedd on the first morning. There was the outer circle of red Radyr stones, 12 in number, in honor of the Apostles. as some think, each draped in tbe Gorseddio colors, white, blue and green. In the centre was placed the "Maen Llog," or sacred stone, symbolizing the whole earth, and repre- senting the top slab of the cromlech. Here, robed in his garments of spotless white, stood the venerable figure of "Hwfa Mon," the Archdruid, wearing the breastplate of gold and the wreath of oak leaves; surrounding hint were his fellow•Druids, bards and orates, olad in their respeotiva robes of white,' blue and green, and in the background was the grove sacred to the Druids of old. Thera were pennillion sung, as there have been since the days of the fourth century, and the presentation of "Hiriais Horn" was made, and another quaint feature was the offering to "Hwfa Mon" of the horn fill- ed with "mead" by one of the lady ovates. The presence of the Breton delegates suggested a pretty ceremony. The halves of two swords, a Welsh and a Breton sword, were head aloft by the Archdruid, the parts placed together and tied at the handles with white, blue and green rib- bons by one of the ladies. This was call- ed the ceremony of "the united sword," and was suggestive of the time when the various Gaelic peoples were one The came of the Archdruid is the Rev. J. Williams, and he is Welsh Congregational minister at Llangollen, In these tourneys of song and poetry the fact is never lost sight of that each ceremony is for the purpose of keeping alive the interest in the Gaelio language and perpetuating the memory of the ancient Welsh customs. The Catholio priest and the Anglican pastor are for the time being eager learners ill the .school of the Celt,, • The Welsh language is not simple patois, abandoned to the inferior olasees, The same right is claimed for it as for the Enghsh, and perhaps the fact that it is maintained so well in the midst of the English-speaking masses is due to the Eisteddfod. The ancient rites of the Druids are by the people, although the Druidism of to -day is Christianity, but they love to guard the archaic formula and ceremonial, and to unite Welshmen of every 'creed in one ardent oult of the old Celtics iiatherlarig" CHILDREN'S COLUMN.

"I am a soldier," said Walter, and he marched up and down in the playroom with his gun over his shoulder. "And I," said Alice, "am a sailor and live in a ship." Then Alice climbed up in the big, tall basket and made it rock so that it went toward the stool, where her big doll, Julia, was sitting; "Watch out! she said to Julia. "You are the Spaniards, and I am going to shoot big cannons at you." Then Alice began to growl deep down in her throat, to sound like the noise of a cannon, but Julia nev- er blinked her eyes nor looked scared a bit. "Watch out!" said Walter. "I'm going to cut your head off with my sword." Then the fighting became iouder and louder, and Walter and Alice came closer and closer to poor Julia; till at last Wal- ter got too close and did an awful thing. He never meant to do it, but he gave one great cut with his little wooden sword, and off came poor Julia's pretty heau, fly- ing right into Alice's lap. "Oh, my poor dolly!" cried Alice. "We didn't go to hurt you," and she kissed the broken head, while Harry stood red and sorry beside her. Then mamma came up to see what was the matter, and she took the poor dolly's head and looked at it. "There, there," said mamma, "I wouldn't cry any more. I can mend Julia so she will never know she was hurt." And of course if mamma said she could do it they knew it was all right and went down to supper. And, sure enough, the next day they had Julia back again, with her head on her shoulders and smiling away as if nothing had ever been the matter.—Cincinnati Enquirer. A Thoughtful Grasshopper. Professor M. Victor Goodrich tells this story: Last summer, in our yard at Rock Fails, Ills., two grasshoppers became en- tangled in a web. A third grasshopper, near by climbed slowly to• the web and with admirable judgment freed the hind legs of one grasshopper and then the other, in which he was aided by the en- tangled insect. Having freed it, he re- turned to his place, and, after resting, he went back and loosened the other, and the three sped off.

The reason son hot:water names a simmer- ing noise is a very simple ens. As the water heats little bubbles of steam are formed at the bottom of the mettle.
