A CURIOUS CALCULATION.

Did you ever think, asks q Paris
paper, how many male and female
ancestors were required to bring you
into the worlds? First, it was neces
sary that you should have father
and mother makes two human
beings. Each of them must also
have had father and mother-that
makes four human beings. Each of
those four must have had father
and mother-that makes eight human
beings. And so we must go back
for fifty six generations, which brings
us only to the time of Jesus Christ.
The calculation thus resulting shows
that 139,245,017 ,4S9, ,534, 4,976 births
must have taken place in order to
bring you into the world-you who
read these lines. But remember we
are only taking the case of yourself
--one human being-and there are
1,000,000,0O0 of human beings in the
world with the same history, and we
have only carried back the calcula-
ton to the time of Christ. How
monstrous the calculation becomes
if we carry it back 5000 years. How
CHASTITY it becomes if we push it back
250,00O years, which DE Mortillet
and others give as the age of the
human race. Just count three gen
erations to a, century, or thirty to
every 1000 years, and reckon up the
history of one individual. Imagine
the number of births necessary to
bring into existence one member OF
the 7500th generation.

SILLY PROPHETIC MYTHS.

One of the most singular and per
sistent of modern prophetic myths is
the one that Identifies with a Napo-
leon the antichrist who is expected,
in the expiring days of the age to
head the final revolt of the world
against Christ. Since the time when
the well-known philanthropist and
champion Of the slave, Granville
Sharp, went to Pitt, Bible in hand to
show him Bonaparte in the "little
horn" of Daniel, and provoked the
astonished statesman to exclaim,
Good God, sir, you don't mean to
call Bonaparte little hornr' the
romance. has preserved its vitality
through al the vlcissitudes of the
Corsican family. We well recollect
with what exhultation Prince Louis
Napoleon's selection to the Presi-
dency Of the French Republic in 1913
was hailed by one of the ablest advo-
Gates of this strange identification,
whose faith had been sorely tried but
not overthrown by the untoward
death of the first Napolean at st.
Helena nearly thirty years before.
Here" said the aged prophet to us,
here is the solution Of the mystery.
Wounded to death! Yes: but the
deadly wound is healed. Napoleon
lives again in his nephew and legal
heir, whom you will presently see
make himself Emperor of Rome, and
gather the armies of the earth to the
battle of Armageddon." Well, that
Napoleon has gone the way of all
flesh, and his poor son, toe; but the
myth lives on, and in its latest form
points, we believe, either to Jerome,
with Gambetta for his forerunner, or
to some yet unborn member of the
family, whom the soul of Nero will
come back from the abyss to animate.

THE VANDERBILT FAMILY.

Vanderbilt has eight children and
eleven grandchildren. His four
daughters are married to New York
ers, and two have been presented with
small palaces costing 5000, 900 apiece,
while he is building houses for the
other two at the corner of Fifth ave-
nue. and Fifty-fourth street, adjoin-
ing st. Thomas Church. The ground
for the two buildings cost 100000
last spring, and L suppose the house
will cost double that. His two eldest
sons, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., who
seems destined to occupy toward his
father the same relation that William
II. held to the Commodore, and Will
liam X. Vanderbilt, the second son,
are already millionaires in their own
right, and are now finishing palaces
which even eclipse the new home
which Vanderbilt moved into last
year. Cornelius Vanderbilt is the
financier among the sons, while VIII
liam X. is the aesthetic member of
the family, having employed Richard
M. Hunt to build his white stone
chateau at the corner of Fifty-second
street and Fifth avenue, and having
paid 1886, 900 for the carving alone
on the inside of his house. Some of
the tapestries of his house are now
on exhibition at the Metropolitan
Museum, while the painters and
decorators are giving the last touches.
The house has been three years in
building and has occupied the whole
time of two architects, working un-
der Hunt, and six draughtsnen.
The designs for one of the mantels
alone required three months work
by two men. The $150,000 which w.
H Vanderbilt spent in bringing the
obelisk over here was the first con-
tribution of the Vanderbilt family
toward the art monuments of the
city, but it is probable that it will
not be the last. 1t is even whispered
in this connection that there is a
probability that Vanderbilt will con-
tribute the quarter of a million dollars
needed for the building of pedes-
tai for the enormous statue of Lib
erty which the French nation intend
presenting rs with next spring
Hartford Times.

A POOR MINERS CHRISTMAS PRESENT

A nugget Of gold was on exhibi-
ton at the clearinghouse of A. B.
Carlock last Thursday that attracted
much attention 1t weighed 1901
ounces and was valued at $2500, but
it was almost untold wealth to the
finder, Sam Howard, a miner on In
dian Creek, near Happy Camp. Mr..
Howard has been under Fortuna's
ban for many years. He owns the
claim on Indian Greek from which
this chispa was taken, but it has not
been a rich piece of ground, and, as
rule, has left but little after ex-
penses were paid. His health has
been poor and to crown his misfor-
tunes his wife died a few years ago
and left four small children, which
he has been trying to care for with
only indifferent success. The strug-
gle with sickness and gaunt poverty
has been an unequal one, but he has
never yielded nor lost courage One
day last week, while sitting on the
bank watching a Chinaman in his
employ at work in the claim, he saw
this glistening messenger of relief
fall out of the dirt into the cut. AS
might be expected. for time it COM
pletely unnerved him. 1t is related
that he had the nugget all that day,
and could hardly decide what to do
with it. After few days the excite
ment wore away, and the mass of
metal is now on its way to the mint,
to ha ooipo1 into coch {hnf shall food
clothe and educate his children and
bring comforts to his lowly home
The piece is fiat, would, if squared
up, be about four inches square, and
one and one half inches thick 1t is
little worn by washing and has sew
eral pieces of quartz still sticking to
one side of it. AS a specimen of
crude gold it is one of the handsom-
est we ever saw.-[Scott Valley News.

Blinkers.

The question has often been asked.
"WAy do horses wear blinkers:9' We
can not answer the question. It seems
to us that they are useless, ugly. and,
TO some extent, injurious to the eye
sight. The most beautiful feature of
the horse is its eye. If it were not ''hid
from our gaze,' it would serve to de-
note sickness, pain or pleasure" Many
a time would a driver spare the whip
on seeing the animals imploring eye.
The argument in favor of blinkers is,
we believe, that horses are afraid OF
passing carriages. This objection. if
valid, IS Of little weight, as such timid-
itY would soon be overcome. We trust,
now the cruel bearing rein has been cast
aside, that blinkers will be abandoned

be attended with advantage to both man

Nebb,s Death.

DIR. G. W. Palmer, of Lockport, N.
T., who was one of the physicians hold
ing a post-m ortem examination on the
body Of Captain Webb, furnishes the
following account of it:
There was found marked rigor NOR
tbs. The body was in state of active
decomposition. All the tissues were
greatly distended by gases. There was
a scalp wound on top of the Uranium,
three and one-half inches in length, not
involving the bony structure. No bones
were found broken. There were sew
eral other local injuries of the body,
but unimportant as to the cause of
death. The scalp wound was evidently
produced after death.
The muscular texture was peculiar
By cut longitudinally with sharp
scalpel shreds of dessicated muscle
would be carried along with and collect
on the edge of the scalpel. All the
blood presented distinctly red color
in some places remarkably red
showing that the blood was not deoxid-
lied by asphyxia in drowning, but that
death ensued prior to that condition.
None of the characteristic symptoms OF
death from drowning were present,
neither was there any local injury sui
ticient to necessarily produce death.
The muscles were pale and presented
the peculiar appearance for which we
could find no better name than Tx
desiccation, the filament being ragged
and broken and separating with remark
able facility. The examination on each
extremity and upon the various portions
of the trunk and neck presented uni
tormly these conditions.
AS the result of our examination l am
led to the conclusion, and in this | am
seconded by my colleagues, that death
was caused not by asphyxia or drown
ing Or by any local injury by the body
coming in contact with any hard sub
stance, but by the shock from the reac-
tionary force of the water in the Whirl-
pool rapids coming in contact with the
submerged body with such force as to
instantly destroy the respiratory power,
and, in fact, all vital action by direct
pressure and force of contact shock
Of sufficient intensity to paralyze the
nerve centers, partially desiccate the
muscular tissues, and forestall any
probable sequel of death by drowning.
Inc cause OF death IN passing through
these rapids being thus constant, and
in no way accidental, as might be
drowning or an injury received from
rocks, forces the conclusion that no liv-
ing body can, or ever will, pass through
the rapids alive; a fact established of
no little Importance, and an ominous
warning to all future adventures.
The river bed at the whirlpool rapids
is much narrowed, and also suddenly
assumes greatly increased precipitancy.
The water strikes the unyielding rocky
banks with great violence, and by reac-
ton meets with such resistance as to
form in the center q mountainous ridge
of encroaching waters from twenty to
thirty feet in height. Into this Captain
Webb was submerged after passing the
first breaker, and instantly subjected to
the immense pressure indicated upon
his body as the cause of his death.

s. Full. -

The time was midnight and the stu
alton near the World office. The man
was fearfully and wonderfully full. He
walked up to the fre-alarm signal-box
and placed nickel in it. Then he sat
down on the curb.
ssWhy don't the car start??''
He received no answer.
Why don't the car start?''
Still no answer.
ssGimme back me fare, then!''
1t was not returned.
Then he jumped up, grabbed the tcle-
graph-pole around the waist. and at
tempted to trip it up. There was
spirited tugging for several seconds, and
then he made a terrific kick at the
feet of his adversary, and the result
was that he kicked himself over on his
own head.
As he executivized himself he moved
off, saying:

thought yer wuz, but believe now that
