Tho Goulds' Social Tastes.

The Goulds themselves are people Of tho
least possible social pretentiousness No
doubt MIR. Jay Gould's business affairs rem
der social secretiveness policy with him, but
he, at any rate, was never man to HUNGER
for notoriety in fashionable sense. He is .
victim to his nerves, too, and people who
have been close in their intimacy with him
tell me that he feels his unpopularity keenly,
and this, no doubt, adds to his desire for re-
tirement. His children are chips of the old
block. The sons have the tastes and char
acteristics Of the father in marked degrea
The business Of money getting is their great
est pleasure. The daughter repeats, am as
sured by friends of the family, the amabls
and admirable t5aits of the mother. Al
though they live in abundant luxury, the
Goulds make very little show about It. His
steam yacht and conservatory are Jay Gould's
sole extravagances. He buys pictures which
he does not look at and books which he does
not read, as part Of the paraphernalia of q
rich mans house. Business is business with
him, frst last and every time, and his two
sons have already shown the bent Of their
tastes in the same direction.-Alfred Trum-

Institute Work.

The morning session of the teachers in
stitute yesterday was opened with prayer
by the Rev. Caleb Ben Ham. Professor
Abbey gave lesson in reading and pre-
sented the subject of penmanship in an
able manner. Mr.. Collister conducted the
class in arithmetic. President Winchester
then introduced territorial superintendent
Dye in complimentary speech and Mr..
Dye returned the compliment by giving
Mr.. Winchester a boom for reelection to
the office of superintendent of schools He
said Mr.. Winchester had brought the
schools up to their present standard of ex-
cellence, and expressed an earnest desire
that the voters of the county should retain
him. Having completed his political work
Mr.. Dye took his seat and the institute ad-
jOurned until 2p. M.
At 2 O'clock the institute was opened by
remarks from Mr.. Winchester, at the close
of which Professor Abbey delivered a
lecture on the Importance of teaching
drawing in the public schools. Mr.. Collis-
ter spoke on the different methods of
teaching division of fractions. Mr..
Abbey treated the subject of circulation
(not financial. and Mr.. Collister gave a
half hours talk on grammar.
After spirited discussion on the sub
ject OF grammar the institute adjourned
until a. m. to-day.

An Astronomical I,u..le.

Since Jupiter's satelites were discovered
by Galileo, in 1910, astronomers have been
greatly mystified by the phenomena of their
transits across the planets disc. The fourth
or farthest, satellite grows rapidly and in
creasingly fainter as it nears the edge of the
disc, shines with moderate brilliancy for ten
or fifteen minutes after contact, then disap-
pears altogether for a like period, and lastly
comes out as dark spot which becomes
darker and darker until it equals the black
ness Of its own shadow on the planet. The
second satellite, however, seems never to
have been seen otherwise than as pure white
during transit. The appearance of the third
and first is different still, the former having
been seen as perfectly white, and yet, even on
the next succeeding revolution, SO black as to
be mistaken for the fourth, while the latter
is sometimes a steel gray and sometimes a
little darker.
These singular anomalies, says Newcomb,
are very difficult to account for except by
supposing very violent changes constantly in
progress on the satellites surfaces After q
special study Of some years, MIR. 3. j. Spitta,
r. A. s., reaches a different conclusion, at.
tributing the apparent changes TO idiosyn-

Betrayed bx q Scar.

Jake Kinney, of San Francisco, was in his
time the finest short card player alive, and
when he sat down in poker game he simply
turned into wood. His face had no more ex-
preston in it than brick, and, although he
would bet his last dollar on ten high in just
the same sing song voice that he would on
four aces, it was very hard to catch him
blufing Finally he got into an argument
with a Los Angeles man, and the other fellow
cut him in the cheek with knife When the
wound healed it left scar under his eye
about the size Of dime, and that scar be-
came bulletin board for Jake's heart It
was naturally white but when he got the
least bit worked up, although he wouldn't
show it otherwise, it would turn pinker and
pinker, and finally bright red Old gamblers
used to say that they knew just what shade it
took for bobtailed flush, and just how near
salmon colored for four kings. Of course
that was laying it on thick, but there is no
question but that the scar broke him up as
card player and drove him our of the ts,si-

Geniuses ON the Stage.


Frank a1ayo in recent conversation with
Harrison Grey Fiske said:
"All this bother about geniuses flying
straight to places of eminence on the stage is
rubbish Acting is the most practical trade
in the world, to be learned and practiced to q
point of proficiency like any other business
like pursuit. OF course the dramatic capac-
ity of different people varies, but give me
person with fair voice, suitable appear
ance and sufficient intelligence, and III give
you good actor after few seasons Of hard
work.
''But the trouble with the profession, now
adays, is that novices aren't contented to
learn the dramatic trade. They apply them
selves industriously enough until they hap
pen to make a hit and then they become
spoiled. A little applause, a little newspaper
dattery, and then big heads are visible. The
development of the novice is arrested forth
with, and the people wonder why Miss
What's-her-name or Mr.. So-and-so hasn't
realized the early promise of her or his
career
"There is altogether too much hurry to
get on. The young people become profes-
sionally bow legged through taking the moro
difficult walks of the stage too soon. It's a
failing common to the human race When
God made man He waited to put the breath
into his nostrils the last thing, because if He
had done this before, man wouldn't have
stood still to be finished don't want
to know any dramatic geniuses; want to
keep at distance from them, and concern
myself with the people who don't know it all
at birth, but are willing to work and learn. I"

A Wen Meant Warning.

A lady with her daughter was travelling
from Cincinatti to New Orleans. She had
through the day occupied seat in the ordi-
nary day car, but finding as evening ap-
preached that it was becoming unpleasantly
crowded and warm, was desirous of moving
into more comfortable quarters: and when
the cars stopped at small station for supper,
went out on the rear platform of her car.
intending to pass into the next one, upon
the end of which was painted in large letters:
"Man Boudoir. La Zingara;;" but the door
was locked, and the officials within were
eating their suppers with deliberation.
While waiting, and wondering with her
daughter how long the Southern railroad
twenty minutes" really would extend, she
was accosted by a respectable looking Ger
man, presumably recent importation from
the ''Vaterland" VINO Just then emerged from
the day car, with the warning words, while
be pointed to the inscription on the boudoir
car:

They appreciated the kind intention and
expressed their thankfulness, but, neverthe-
less, as soon as the conductor appeared with

A VERY u.eful suh.tanc..

The material known as woodite, devised
by Mrs. Wood, clever Englishwoman,
promises to become very useful substance.
Its chief ingredient is caoutchouc. During
the past few monthsit has given good results
for variety Of purposes, and is now de-
clared to be especially adapted to many other
uses According to Sir Edward Reed, M. P.
it has been produced in divers forms, such az
fine sheets and ribbons for waterproof arti-
cles, dense blocks for resisting the blows of
shot or shell, and very satisfactory rings for
engine packing. One process converts it into
an elastic, sponge like substance; and an
other, in which it is mixed with whalebone
cuttings, gives it rough or frictional quality
for mats Some curious naval applications
have been worked out 1t is made into armor
plates, which on being penetrated by shot
close so tightly that no water is admitted.
and it is also formed into light and con-
venient cylinders for carrying compressed
air to drive life boats, torpedo boats and
scout boats, while it is suitable for making
floating or partly floating cables for pro-
lection against torpedo attacks, etc-Frank

AN oRNAMENreo RAILROAD.

a Chicago Newspaper Makes Good Sus.
neutrality-suspicious. In England.
Railroad companies are at great expense
in building beautiful cars and passenger
stations, but they give no attention to beau
tifying station grounds and the long stretches
along the sides Of tracks. The view from
the finest palace car window is not very
charming unless it Is q distant view. A
railroad ditch or bank is seldom thing of
beauty. All the barriers against snow arc
exceedingly unsightly. Rank and coarse
vegetation generally grows along the sides
of tracks till it is killed by the drought or
frost, when it is consumed by sparks from
the locomotive. The beauty of the passenger
cars shows by the contrast with the surround
ings, which are types Of deformity.
An ornamented railroad would do some
thing more than attract attention. It would
attract patronage. A large proportion Of
the persons who travel by rail during tho
pleasant months of the year are pleasure
seekers. They are making long journeys to
find pretty places. They would like to 50
pretty places all along the route They
would sooner ride througha flower garden
than desert. Beautiful hedges, that would
be cheap and lasting, could he formed of
arbor vitae, Norway spruce, Scotch larch,
hawthorn, crab apple and Judas trees.
The experiments in ornamenting railroads
in Great Britain and several countries on the
continent of Europe have been very salts
factory to stockholders and the travelling
public. There the ornamentation has besn
attended by scarcely any expense. Rewards
were offered to the station keepers who kent
their grounds in the best condition. These
places were soon converted into parks. The
desirability of improving the ground be-
tween places was speedily seen and acted
upon.-Chicago Times

Rea's Limbs Stretched.

The following appears in the Chicago
Times of the 18th inst:
Mr.. John A. Rea, the register of the
Office at Bismarck, Dak.,is in the city. Mr..
Rea is one of the republicans who have
held their offices under the democratic ad-
ministration because of the excellent man
ne1 in which they have attended to their
service in that Office MI. Rea has never
paid political assessment, has never
visited Washington, and has never pulled
a wire to keep himself in Office. It has
been his rule to do the work of the office
we'll and let that be his only recommends
ton. President Arthur appointed men to
take his place, but each time the secretary
of the interior prevailed upon him to with
draw the appointments; and all this with.

Causes of Nervous 1rritabi,ity.

A prominent physician is quoted as saying:
"Were to give the true reasons at the root
of the growing inferiority, nervous irrita-
bility and insanity, which are sapping the
vigor of the time, they would be two things
the want Of proper food by all classes and
the sedentary training, or want of training,
among young people," There is good deal
to be said in favor of the military training
of Prussia for our own boys nowhere get a
better physique than at West Point; but the
old style, which is yet the very common
style, of education involves our young people
in sedentary habits. We are nation Of sit
ters, and not of walkers, and are taking the
consequences i'll the way of stagnation and
congestion. Heart disease and brain disease
and lung disease and kidney disease and
other congestive diseases follow too luxurious
eating and inanition.-Globe Democrat.

Mr.. sponord and His Books.

When question arises in either house that
is likely to cause reference to the great
library under his charge. MIR. Spofford seeks
out at once every book or pamphlet which
may serve to throw light on the subject, and
when the applications begin to pour in upon
him he is ready to point out to the congress-
men the best sources from which they can
draw inspiration. He is not old yet, though
he was born in 1921 but he has seen the little
stock Of $4,000 volumes under his hands grow
up until it now touches fully 500 600 volumes,
and the ambition Of his life seems to be to
lengthen out his days until the great building
now in process Of erection for the library
shall be completed, and fitting home pre-
pared for his beloved books-New York

the Germans regarded water.
sI'll get the BATH" he announced, as be
serode into his room with q scowl, "if have

The utmost confusion reigned during the
next half hour. The one idea that seemed to
animate everybody in the hotel, from the Chef
to the chambermaid Of the top floor, was the
necessity of stopping the rash project of No.
A. Every effort was made, but the result
was failure, grim and complete. About lC
o'clock the putting and grunting of body Of
men was heard on the stairs, and presently
two walters and watchman staggered IN
with bath tub, which consisted in equal
parts of green paint, cast iron and rust.
They dropped it in the middle of the floor,
cursed their fate with whole souled, Teutonic
enthusiasm, took OFF their coats, pulled up
their sleeves, and fell to work with several
other attaches carrying water up from the
sub-basement to the third floor in small tin
pals.
By this time half the guests in the hote
had their heads out of the doorway, making
large vocal efforts to find out whether the
uproar meant a fire OF another dead emperor

colored People of Savannah.

The first people one sees in Savannah, as
the steamer nears her wharf, are the swarm
ing colored men, gathering to help the
steamer unload or give the operation the
benefit of their sanctioning presence. They
are the most motley crowd that any one ever
saw; their garb ranges from the most ap-
proved attire Of the modern dude to almost
no attire at all, or an attire exclusively of
patches; if any one thinks that clothes made
OF nothing but patches are an impossibiity,
he should see some of these people and be
convinced to the contrary. They stand and
sit in all attitudes of picturesque repose; and
when they seize the gangplank to run it on
board, standing SO close to each other on
each side of the plank that they are like peas
in pod, they grunt and groan as if each one
were lifting the plank all alone
This scene was the beginning of my In
terest in the colored people of Savannah, and
never ceased to observe them while I was
in the city. They are the mefriest, most
contented, most philosophical people in the
world. They sing or whistle almost cease
lessly. Listen at any moment, and you will
hear grand combination of whistles rising
on the air. In the evening the colored peo-
pie sit in the parks or on the street corners,
or wander up and down, singing, whistling,
or playing their harmonicss-a sort of in.
strument Of which they are very fond. They
improvise rather than perform, each negro
appearing to prefer certain notes, to which
he returns frequently and fondly as he pro-
ceeds with his sstune," which is for that mat

key. II there is really and thoroughly
