If you wanted bottles, you had to ask for them over a few miles of wire, wherever you happened to be ; and if Macdon- ald said he would supply them You would get them to the second at the time specilied—but it was no use hoe thering him for less than 50,000. He had a staff of clerks at each of his works, whom he never saw, but who were always in touch with him —by wire. But kings and princes dealt with "Jerry" Vandevell, the "quickest dealer on earth," in his eight foot by eight stockbroking OFFICE IN LtaitiBARD STREET, LONDON. with which not the most palatial, marble-halled firm in London could compete for certainty and despatch. Few of his clients had a better benk- ing account than "Jerry"," though they might be of royal blood ;• but though he had three rooma, full of clerks in an office near the "House," he stayed in his own little nook, and dealt over the wires that led , to his desk *with 'all thc peoples of the earth. 'The Sultan of Turkey was among his client e ; So was the King of Italy and so, on several occasions, was Kruger. All the news of the werld hummed on the tape -machines of that little den, where there was hardly room for two people to pass each other. He was known as "the straightest man in Europe," and he died worth $10,000,000—poor "Jer- ry'Vandevell. HUGE. BUSINESSES THAT THRIVE IN' ATTICS , Nen Who Have 'Made Furtuaes in Very Small and Obscure Places. The whole of the $3,500,000 that Jacob Murray left when he died, master of one of the biggest busi- nesses in the world, was made in the little attic in Bury Street, Lon- don, that formed his office—a rQ0E11 not fourteen feet square. What room there was, was mostly filled with telephones, public and private, and tape machines ; and in the midst of these, at a little desk, sat the owner, controller of i business that turned OVER 8400,000 A YEAR. 'Murray practically "ran" the tin trade, not only for his owie, eountry, ' but for the States, and two-thirds the rest of the world. 1Th managed the brokerage of nearly all the fac- tories for tins, and controlled a round dozen ol them himself, worked by his subordinates. Every nation on the globe had its wires to this attic, direct through the cable ex- changes, and there Murray talked in train -loads, and counted in tens of thousands. It was not meannegg' that kept him in this tiny third-fidor attic, for he was a generous man ; ' but he liked to feelehis own finger e on the keys Of the great business and to strike the chords. himself. Hehad three 'splendid houses, but he cycled to the office every day, and seldom saw anyone when there. He lived on the electric, wires, and from his $3 pane chair he could have paralyzed be canning trade of the world., Even the Governmentehad to Speak softly to Jacob Murray. •Alongside princely offices of firms doing one-tenth the amount of busi- ness, "Heneage's" was the most startling office in London until re- cently. It even went one better than Murray's, for Heneage's, in John Street, WAS ON THE FIFTH FLOOR, and was a foot smaller, for the only man who ever interviewed Mr. Hen - cage in his lair measured it with a foot -rule. This tiny pigeon -hole, for all that, had seldom less than a score of ocean-going steamers tramping the seas in all parts of the world under its control. Mr. Heneage never miss- ed a single week -day's attendance up to the day of his death ; and it was his pride that, by his telephone, • which he could reach from almost • any part of the room, he• could set 40,000 tons of Shipping and, 1,000 men'to work 'within a few hours. • Heneage's, was easily the .largest ship -broking business in Britain, and probably in the world. One solitary clerk kept. the old man's books, and when 'people wondered he remarked that the work was light, for it was easier to cipher down 250,000 than $250 a thousand ' times. But the • clerk got 835 a week nevertheless. For one whole year the hide and leather trade of three' continents was' controlled NOT IN A GARRET, but in a cellar ; and the genius who performed that feat was the famous John Astley Baines, whom many say was the cleverest financier Britain ever produced. His office—though he could show more assets than any merchant in the country—was the little converted wood -cellar in Pert - pole Street; London, paved with enamelled brick,, that made him al- most better known than did his mil- ' lions, 'up to his tragic death last year. For that twelve months, which was almost his last,: he outpaced even TIeneage, for • he kept no clerk at all, though a generous man, and loved by allwho knew him. He entered his 'enormous transactions—he sel- dom, touched a lot of less than $25,- 000—in a ledger, and -the ledgers, , perfectly kept, showed a profit of $1,500,000 'at the end of thet year. 'America (both North and South), the East eIndies, Africa and Austra- lia,' had their great hide trades' prac- tically under the thumb of Barnes in that little' 'cellar, working entirely by wire ; and several times he held every hide -laden ship in every Brit- ish port, as well as numbers more on their way there. He was thrown out of a trap and killed - in Paris last year, and his fortunCreathed- THE $1,500,000 MARK. To juggle with a hundred square 'miles of forest in each hand, sifting in a room twelve feet square, is a pretty big feat ; and that is what h'Barten Greaves did most days of his life, in "the cupboard," as the com- mercial world called his microscopic garret in Todd Street', Londdn. Though 'his room was Smaller, , he couldn't quite Mann Barnes's dis- tinction, for there was still a tinier anteroom • attached to the "cup- board," about the size of a' boot - closet ; and therein sat one clerk, who, drew an income any three aver- age men would be glad to share, be- tween them, and tried to writc. with- . out knocking his pen against the walls. • It was; an extraordinary place to •!thaw 82,500 a week profit ; but Greaves had his hands on the reins • of quite half the • world's timber trade, and he steered :the rest of the teams as lie pleased from his desk , in the ''cupboard."

This Condition Causes More Gen- uine Suffering Than One Can Imagine—How a Well Known Exeter Lady Obtained a Cure After She Had Begun to Re- gard Her Condition as Hope - lees. " Fran,' the Advocate, Exeter, Ont. „ "A run' down system!" What a world of misery those few words im- ply, and yet there are thousands throughout this country who are suf- fering from this condition. Their blood is poor and watery; they suf- fer almost continuously froni head- aches; are unable to obtain restful sleep and the least exertion greatly fatigues them. What is needed to put the system right is a tonic, and experience has proved Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to be the only never -fail- ing tonic and health restorer. Mrs. Henry Parsons, a respected resident of Exeter, Ont., is one of the many who • have tested and proved the value of , Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.FOr many months she was a great 'sufferer from what is commonly termed "a run down sys- tem." To a reporter of the Advo- cate she gave the following story in the hope that other sufferers might benefit from her experience:—"For many months inSt health was in a bad state, my constitution being greatly rieVerlown. I was troubled ,with continual headaches, my appe- tite werib, p,00r and the least exertion greatly fatlgued me. I consulted a PbYeieian but his treatment 'did riot appear to benefit ine' and gradually became worse, so that 1 could hardly attend to my household duties. - then tried several., advertised reme- dies but Without result, and I began to regard my condition as hopeless. A neighbor called to see me one day and urged inc to try Dr. Williams' "Pink Pill's. Having tried so many medicines without receiving benefit, I was not easily persuaded, but finally I conSented to give the pills a trial. To my surprise and great joy I noticed an improvement in my eondi- tion before I had finished the first box and by the time I had taken four boxes of the pills I was fully re- stored to health. 1 no longer suffer from those severe headaches, my ap- petite is good, I can go about my household cluties without the least trouble; in fact I feel like a new wo- man. All this I owe to that best of - all medicines, Dr. • Williams' Pink Pills, and I would strongly urge oth- er sufferers to give _them a trial." Dr. Williams' rink Pills are recog- nized the world over as the best blood and nerve tonic, and it is this power of acting directly on the blood and nerves which enables 'these pills to cure such diseases as locomotor ataxia, paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheurnatisin, ner- vous headache, the after effects of la, grippe, palpitation of the ,heart, that tired feeling resulting from ner- vous prostration; all diseases result- ing from vitiated humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic ery- sipelas, etc. Dr, Williams' Pink.

SET THEMSELVES ALIGHT, MICE, DUST AND GLASS WIN- DOWS DANGEROTJS Defective Electric Wiring Has • Many Sins to Answer -for in These Days, About a year ago a fire occurred in a warehouse in Liverpool, and as the cause of the ontbreak could not, be discovered, there was, a strong suspi- cion that the building, had been set on fire purposely. The warehouse was rebuilt, and soon after it was finished there ,was another outbreak, but this time it was so promptly dealt with that lit- tle serious damage was done, Then an electrician solved the problem, He found that electric wires had been laid beneath the floors, and that mice had gnawed away part of the insulating material. Sparks had then been produced by the hare Wire, and the result was a blaze. The overwhelming fondness of rats for sulphur has been the cause of much destruction of property. The chief of a local fire brigade Said that he had in several cases seen nests of matches which the rats had made be- tween the floors of buildings. It is no unusual thing, when structures are being torn down to find that the rodents have lined their abodes with the sulphur matches. '1'he gnawing process results in the ignition of the matches, and there follows a myster= ious and suspicious fire. There is a mysterious property in dust :which, and& certain conditions, produces violent explosions. There have been instances in post -offices where the dust 1 t'oms the post -bags suspended in the air of a close room has exploded with terrific' force. Duet explosions are of frequent, occurrence IN FLOUR AND DRUG MILLS. • The origin of many fires in tailors' shops may be traced to the so-called dry-cleaning of clothes. A rag dip- ped in naphtha is frequently used in removing grea,se-spots from gar- ments. The rag soaked with inflam- mable fluid is thrown upon the floor. When the shop is cleaned up and the air confined, the naphtha -soaked ma- terial will of itself generate fire. There passed through the streets of Glasgow a few years ago a load of hay, which suddenly became envelop- ed in flame. The driver of the hay - wagon was about to assail a "guile- less youth who was smoking a cigar- ette near by. The trouble, how- ever, had nothing toed() with the ci- gagette-smoker, but was caused by the tire of a wheel rubbing against an iron rod on the side of the wag- on. A bystander had seen the spark caused by, the contact between ,the pieces of metal fly into the inflam- mable hay. In all manufacturing establish- ments a frequent cause of fires is the rubbing of leather belting against the edges of the aperture through which it passes from floor to floor. One of the most stubborn fires which ever visited London had its origin in a plate -glass window. The vitreous pane concentrated the heat of the sun upon A CELLULOID COMB. The comb blazed and spluttered, and soon the other samples of cellu- loid which were around it were on fire. In one of the principal English towns, the laboratory of a perfumer was nearly wrecked by a terrific ex- plosion. The maker of scents be- lieved that a discharged employee had set fire to the building, but he hadn't, The fire was due to slow evaporation of a high spirit in the -room in which a small laboratory gas -stove had been left burning. The houses of the wealthy, even in these days of fireproof construction, are often wrorSe fire -traps than the meanest tenements. In many cases only the width of a brick intervenes between intense heat from a large fire and highly -varnished and ieflam- inable cab*t-work. Rich hangings and upholstered furniture give the food noon which ;the conflagration feeds.' DefeCtive electric wiring has many sins to, answer for in these days. Electricians -Who :aim supposed to be competent *ill Cross wires and vio- late nearly every principle of com- mon sense and of electrical science. Some of them lead strands of wire through wooden boxes, which, in the event of fire, become roaring flues. Many of the most destructive fires known in the large cities have been due to carelessness in placing the wires for electric lighting. 4 • WHEN DO YOU WIND YOUR WATCH? In the first place a watch should be wound -up at regular intervals; that is, you should have a stated time for doing this and not perforin the operation just when you happen to think of it. Those who adopt a regular , interview generally choose night or morning, and of thee two the morning is the better. After you have wound eyour watch the spring is kept tight for some hours and is relaxed during the remainder of the twenty-four. If you, wind it in the morning you have the tight Spring during the day, and while you are on the move; and at, night, when the spring is relaxed, your watch re- mains quite still. This is the better course to pursue, for if the spring is relaxed during the , day while you are inoving about, the chances are that your watch will not keep such good time. THE SULTAN'S THRONE ROOM.

Mr. Allan's hotel is at 463 St. James street and en joys considerable popularity with railroad men.

' 0 - BOON TO POOR MAN. Edison to Cheapen Building and to Bring Down Rents. Thomas A. Edison; the wizard of electricity, has discovered how to make "Portland cement" at an ex- tremely small cost. This statement, at firet thought, seems to be com- paratively unimportant. Yet Edison knews the immense value of his dis- covery. He expects that .his cement will drive out quarried stone and brick as building. materials. 1 -le fore- casts as the result of his discovery that it will cost very little to build houses, and that therefore rents will be very low.

The inventor says ce- ment, combined with steel, will be the building material of the future, and continues : "My impression is that the time will come when each contractor will have standard forms of houses, 20 or 30 varieties. The forms will be made of wood, and a contractor, using one of the standard shapes, will simply go out and 'Pour' a house. "There will probably be hundreds of designs. The contractors will put' up their concrete mixer and have their beams and forms ready. They will pour the form for the first story and so on. To do that all they will reqhire will be common labor—a few men and one boss. "That i$ what I think will be done eventually. And such a house can be made very cheaply. It seems to me that there will not be much use for carpenters then. There will be cabinetmakers, to be sure. Why, CVall the floors and stairs will be made of concrete." Mr. Edison was asked if Portland cement would be cheap enough for general use. "Yes, I think so," he said. "When the price of cement gets to one dol- lar a barrel or five dollars a ton, and people know they can get it for that, there will be enormous quanti- ties of it used." The inventor said that one part of the cement, three tarts of sand, and five parts of broken stone would be the mixture for concrete, and that broken stone was better than broken briick. In reply to a question as to the thickness of walls, in the ordinary house he said : " Thr bottoni of couree, ought to be of Portland ce- ments twelve inches up to the first Story and eight inches above the first story.
