Sunday With the Vanderbilts

The Vanderbils are all religiously
inclined. and early on Sunday morn
ing the children are washed and
dressed and sent to Sunday school.
At church time they go to their IA
theirs pew and sit there with him
and their mother during the service.
In the afternoon they go to Sunday
school again. They are never al
lowed to use horses or carriages, nor
to go out, except for short walk as
a matter of exercise. The day is
spent very quietly. They have an
early tea, and in the twilight the
children gather in the music room
while one of the ladies play the piano
or organ: Cornelius Vanderbilt, Will
liam K, Elliott F., Shepard and the
ladies of the families join for an
hour or two in song. The boys
sometimes bring out their violins, the
young girls play their harps, and
there is an hour or two of the most
delicious music that one could mag
inc. They sing hymn after hymn,
and when the twilight fades away
the little ones are put to bed, to get
up the next morning with the glow
of health upon their cheeks, and be-
gin their week of study and play,
that shall fit them to become strong
men and women, to administer wise
ly upon the vast fortunes that will
soon be theirs.-LadIeS' Home Jour-

Soon after tho rres were starred ne

and then found me place or shelter
from the rain in ono OF the wagons, In
which he proposed to spend the night
himself.
'1f we only had little money be-

"What is it?' / asked.
"Whisky," he whispered. Zone of

''How cheap?"
'Its worth it's weight in solid goold a
night like this, but he's only akin twin
ty dollars the bottle" replied Phelin.
/ drew one hundred dollar bill from
the wad obtained from Captain Jones
and told the sergeant TO buy the whis-
ky and keep the balance, an arrange
ment that gave him an immediate re-
spect for at least one Yankee.
Although Kentuckian, cared moth
ing for whisky, had never wet my lips
with it before the war, nor tasted it a
dozen times SINCE, but swear it did me
good that night, and 1t might have had
the samo effect on Phelin had he not
felt that it was his duty to drink while
there was drop left, and then to 90 off

till the provost marshal bucked and
gagged him and left him to cool off in

they were without blankets or overcoats
they suffered intensely from the cold.

cATARRH,
Catarrhal Deafness, Hay Fever, A New
Home Treatment.

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence Of living parasites in
the lining membrane of the nose and Gus
tachian tubes. microscopic research, how
ever, has proved this to be fact. and the
result of this discovery is that simple rem
edy has been formulated whereby catarrh,
catarrhal deafness and hay fever are perma-
nently cured in from one to three simple APP
plications made at home by the patient once
in two weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded by rep
utabls physicians as injurious. A pamphlet
explaining this new treatment is sent free
on receipt of stamp to pay postage, by A.
