NEw YORK, September 1S.-At the fac
OF the season, when the last Of the social
celebrities are departing from Newport,
Mrs. W. X. Vanderbilt has given orders
to have the famous marble palace put in
order. Many rumors are afioat. One is
to the effect that she intends to take up
her abode in Rhode Island in order to
secure divorce, the laws in that State
being almost as liberal as those in South
Dakota. Another report SAYS Mr.. and
Mrs; Vanderbilt have patched up their
troubles, and that they are to live to-
gsthsr in their Newport home.

THINK THEY HAVE A CLUE.
ohcers Believe the Short Line Train
Wrecker is Charles Somers,

Boise Cry, September 17.-Oficers
here believe that the leader of the gang
that attempted to wreck a Short Line
train Thursday is Charles Somers, A
notorious train robber. He has an aunt
living in this city, and it is said he has
been here recently. He is credited with
having boasted of eating at the same
table with the Chief of Police in a Boise
restaurant. Officers say he has head.
quarters in 0wyhee county. Somers
was arrested in San Francisco about a
year and a half ago for train robbery in
Mississippi. He was tried and sentenced
but escaped from the penitentiary. One
of the guards disappeared at the same
time, and is supposed to be with him
now. Local banks were notified some
time ago by Pinkerton OF Somers' pres.
ence in this section and advised to be on
the lookout for him. The Marshal's
party in pursuit of the gang has not been
heard from.

A Singular Man.

The Hon. Henry Cavendish was a
mathematician, astronomer, geolo-
gist, alchemist, recluse and-eccen-
tric. Mr.. Cavendish was intensely
shy. He had quite a diseased aver
sion to all and especially to female
society. The only way to get him to
speak was never to look at him
Talk, as it were, into vacancy, then
it was not unlikely that he might be
set going. Nevertheless men were
a trouble to him and women an in
tolerable nuisance. We mention this
as an eccentricity, but there are
doubtless many men who share his
prejudice. He avoided communica-
ton with his female housekeeper by
depositing notes on the hall table.
A female servant he would never
see. If an unlucky maid showed her
self she was instantly dismissed. In
his villa at Clapham he had second
staircase built so that he might pre-
vent the almost inevitable encounters
with the hated sex To Mr.. Caven-
dish's town house in Cover street
few visitors were admitted. The
favored ones who crossed its thresh
old reported that books and the nee
essary apparatus for a science stu
dent were its chief furniture.

An act of parliament that was
passed in the reign of George II for
the suppression of profanity is still
occasionally brought into force
Under it the Wisbech magistrates
have just convicted a man named
Abraham Pye of Walpole, who was
charged with publicly using four pro
fame oaths, for which he had rendered
himself liable to a penalty of shil-
lings, being shilling for each oath.
The defendant admitted his guilt, and
at the request of the chairman the
clerk explained the provisions of the
act, which imposes a penalty of 1
shilling per oath when uttered by
laborer, 3 shillings when the offender
is above a laborer and under the de-
gree of a gentleman, and 5 shillings
when spoken by any one above the
degree of a gentleman.
1t was also explained that the con-
sequences are the same whether the
oaths are uttered by person on his
own premises or in the public streets.
The bench fined the defendant shil-
lings and 13 shillings costs, and init
mated that they intended to suppress
the use of bad language in the public
streets as far as they possibly could.

What We owe to Fire.

1t is worth while to note how few
of the things, besides the fire on the
hearth, that go to make up a modern
freside could ever have come into
being except through the agency of
the fire. Trace the origin of the
book you have been reading in your
cozy corner of the hearth Speech
itself is partly growth and partly
an invention, but were we not so
familiar with them we should bow
our heads in awe in the presence of
these wondrous arbitrary characters
we call the letters of the alphabet,
by means of which we represent
thought and speech, so that ideas are
preserved age after age. We look
at these characters and straightway
in our minds are reproduced the
speculations of Plato, the. poetical
imaginings of Virgil or the teach
ings of Jesus.
Through picture writing, hero
glyph, such figures as children play
with and call the rebus; by steps like
these-and the steps were many cen
turies-the race climbed to the attain
ment of a phonetic alphabet. Then
many centuries still passed by, until
at last, after the benefcent fire had
helped men smelt and shape the
stubborn iron the movable type was
invented, and all the thoughts of the
world are the common property of
any who will learn to read. Measure
the distance from the hut of the bar
barian to the freside of modern
home, and you measure the total adj
vance that man has made in civiliza-
tion.-Rev. M. J. Savage in Peter
sons Magazine.

Animal worshiD.

Mr.. j. McLennan, in his paper on
'"The Worship of Plants and Ami
mails" calls our attention to many
evidences that the early Romans, as
well as the Greeks, worshiped to-
TENS. The Old Testament records
show many indications of animal
worship among the Israelites, which
must have lasted for ages before the
prohibition inculcated in the second
line of the decalogue was formulated
At a comparative late date Jehovah
was worshiped under the popular
symbol of bull, while the IL oxen
upholding the laver in Solomon's
temple, as well as the horns adorn-
ing the altar, were drawn from the
prevalent bull worship Modern
research has also proved that the
cherubim were represented in the
form of winged bulls. NJ. Lenor-
mant, in his famous book on the
Beginnings of History" says that,
during the time of the kings and
prophets, most assuredly the cheru-
bim, as there described, are ami
mails. Popular Science Monthly

What sleep Is scientifically.

The great German scientist, Herr
Rosenbaum, says that the anemic
condition of the brain is due to an
excess of water in the cells of that
body-a sort of water on the brain.
Sleep, according to his theory, is es-
pecially a matter of nervous action
the fatigue of the nerve cells which
communicate with the heart and
bring about a change in the circula-
ton The nervous cells are full of
water when sleep comes ON, which
during sleep passes into the venous
blood as waste, while the nerve cells
receive nourishment from fresh ar
terial blood. When the process is en-
tirely, over the sleeper awakes, unless
he is disturbed sooner.
According to Rosenbaum's theory,
sleep is not only healthy because of
the rest it gives the entire body, but
actually invigorating in itself Those
who have imagined that slumber was
simply quiet and rest for an over
worked and fatigued mind or body
will be surprised to learn that the
scientists are divided in opinion as to
whether it is pressure on the brain,
similar to vertigo and other attacks
which produce Inconsistencies, or a
mild form of hydrocephalus. New

The Last DAYS of kosciusko.

Kosciusko, wounded and made
prisoner at the battle of Maciejowice,
was kept two years in the prisons of
st. Petersburg, and, amnestied by
Gar Paul I, went first to England,
thence to Italy and then to Paris.
Here he struck great friendship with
the charge d'affaires of the Swiss
confederation, M. de Zeltner. and
finally went to live the last years of
his life in his friends house at So
Ieta, where he died on the 18th of
October, 1917. The heart of the hero
remained in the possession of Kos
ciusko's goddaughter, Mile. de Zelt-
ner, and on her marriage with Count
Morosini passed into the keeping of
that family.
The descendants of those among
whom the great Polish patriot passed
away protest most anxiously. and on
the best authority, against the phrase
attributed to Kosciusko when falling
wounded on his last battlefield, ''Finis
Poloni@" This exclamation was new
er uttered by Kosciusko, who him
self refuted the legend, saying in his
last days, ''These are the words of a
self conceited braggart, and as far
from my heart as they are from my
hopes. London Saturday Review.

Waking Up Freezing SIeepers.
One of the principal duties of the
Russian policeman is to awaken those
unfortunates who have fallen asleep
in the streets during a hard frost.
These are usually either the isvoschik
in his sledge, waiting for a fare and
doing off ere that fare comes into
the sleep of lethe, or drunken men
who have tripped and fallen on the
pavement and have not the energy
to get up again.
The orthodox method of awaken
ing such sleepers is to rub their ears
violently backward and forward-a
plan specially to be recommended,
because it not only rouses the slum-
berer, but also puts him into such
rage that he is far too angry after
ward to fall asleep again. Temple
