Eomething About the Astors.

Look at the Astors. Only few gen.
orattons ago and they were butchers,
selling meat to whoever would buy it;
now they are considered the most ex-
elusive family in New York. The As
tors, by the way, will celebrate the GEN.
tennial OF the arrival of the first Astor
in New York some time next month.
Old John Jacob Astor came over here
from Germany hundred years ago
and set up butcher shop in the Bow
cry. where he made a great deal Of
money. The brothers of the original
Astor were musical instrument makers,
and when the famous John Jacob start
ed in the fur business in New York he
had musical Instruments rs one Of the
departments of his trade. Between
flutes and furs he made about $3.50, ,OO0
in sixteen years. They were real mer-
chants i'll those days and owned their
own ships, and Mr.. Astor used to load
his own vessels with furs asand send
them to London; from London they
would go to China and return to New
York with csr load of teas. 1t is said
that he often netted rs much as $40, 900
on single importation OF that article.
The greater part of his money, how
ever was made by ludicious investments
in real estate. The Astors bought prop
erty up town when other people were
buying below Canal street. l believe
.hey own as MANY as 800 houses in the
most thickly populated uptown dis
tricts. Most of their houses are built
of grayish yellowstone, and are devoted
entirely to renting. The Astor home is
now on Madison avenue--at least that
is where Mr.. William b. Astor. the
senior member of the family. resides
and is built of the same colored stone
as his tenant houses. Over the front
entrance is glass and stone inclosure
devoted to flowers, which breaks the
monotony of the stone walls and gives
It very pretty appearance from the
street. Mr.. William B. Astor looks ev-
cry inch the millionaire. He is not
pretty, bat he is distinguished looking,
is tall and stout, with ruddy COM
plexion and close-cropped mustache
and longish sidc-whiskers that grow
straight down from the ears. But Mr..
Astor is very much afraid of getting
too stout, and used to walk all the way
from his office, which was in the lower
part ct the city-Prince street, think
up to his house ON Madison avenue.
This is about the only exercise most Of
the New York men get. They dislike
walking for walking's sake, but will
walk up or down town once day as q
sort Of duty. | fancy they find It pec-
essary, because most Of these bankers
and brokers are high livers, and if they
do not take some exercise are very apt
to be visited with ills that come from
high living. The wealth of. tho Astor
family now is said to amount to tjc,
700. 900 apiece for William and John
Jacob, the two oldest. John Jacob has
but one son. William w. Astor, famil-
iarly known as Willie. the presan'

Marriage Becoming Popular

The British House Of Lords at il
last session rejected bill permitting !
widower to marry his dead wife.
sister. This subject comes up every
year, and while it passes the Commons
by large majoritics, it is annually de-
teated by small majorities by the
Lords, temporal and spiritual. The
debate on the motion brought out some
curious statistics. 1t seems that mar.
riagc is once more . POPULAR institu-
tion in Great Britain. Twenty-Five
years ago the middlc-class Englishman
was reluctant to marry. One of the
popular songs of that day was. why
don't the mch propose, mammal" But
now marrying is again in order, but the
lid conditions Of conjugal life are very
greatly changed. There ID more free
dom in marriage. The wife rs well rs
the husband is more her own master.
The former is no longer the mere echo
Of her consort while the latter resents
being tied to the apron strings Of hia
wife.

English and American Genius.

Men of letters have lightly overlcaped
all political boundaries and obstacles.
Our wares may be excluded from tho
markets of the United States: but there
IL and must be reciprocity in all the pro-
ductions OF science ana imagination.
Our authors were the first taste the
fruits Of this tendency toward unity.
Their books circulated (sometimes
even without their leave) in the United
States as widely as here. Mr.. Arnold,
for example, who has just gone there,
will find that his poems and essays are
as readily procurable in bookstores on
Broadway or Chestnut street rs in
London. A reputation achieved hero
in any walk of literature is also forth
with won in Philadelphia and Chicago.
A novel or poem can no more be sue
cessful in London and ignored in Birm-
ingham than it can be much read in
Englard and little known to the
educated public Of the United States.
And now .clOrs begin to reap the same
advantages as poets and novelists have
long enjoyed. Mr.. Booth and Miss
Anderson meet here with warm ad-
mirers: and Mr.. Irving aud Miss Ellen
Terry, TO all appearance. will have nc
cause to regret their visit. Mssltitudes,

Tbs Prodaotion Of 0uinine

The next step in the relief of MALE
rious sickness on the grand scale was
the extraction of the alkaloid quinine
from the clnchona bark. The powdered
bark was not only very unpalatable,
but it was cumbrous to carry and dis.
pense, and, although the principle Of
the remedy remained the same, it has
proved Of infinitely greater service In
the form Of quinine,. and in the form Of
the cheap alkaloidal mixture known in
Bengal as 'squinctum.' The first ex-
traction of an alkaloid was In the case
of morphia, from opium, in 1906; the
'discoverer was an apothccary Of Ham,

than the celebrated piper of that town,

Inc was discovered in 1920 by the
French chemists Pclleticr and Caven-
ton. The sciences and arts Of botany

merce of the world has taken cinch0na
in hand, and there are now plantations
Of the trees not unworthy to be named
beside those of coffee and tea. Tho
value of the Grade bark imported into
England alone in 1882 was nearly twa
millions sterling. The original and
native cinchona region on the damp
eastern slopes Of the Andes in Peru Is
still source of wealth. and q still
greater source of wealth are the new
plantations on the Andes in Bolivia.
The Indian Government has success

planters have followed in the same
