SEALED UP A STUDENT.

Curious Experiment. by College Professors
 In Studying Food Products.
 Professors Atwater. Rosa and Wood of Wesleyan university, Middletown, Conn, arc conducting a series of experi- ments to learn the value of food prod ucts. They have constructed an airtight room, 10 foot cube. in which student is confined. Fresh air is pumped in, and food, cooked under the direction of the professors, is conveyed through an air tight tube The room is lighted by cleo tricity and equipped with electricity. Tho temperature of the student is taken and condition noticed at frequent inter vals. All food and all waste are weigh cd, the object being to learn the exact certain kinds of foods that make bone, flesh and blood.
 The student will remain six days. So far he is doing well, eating heartily, sleeping well and devoting much time to study. The results of tho experiment will be sent to Washington for scientific use. New York Sun.

Mrs. Belmont Said to Have Given the Mar
 ble House to Her Son.
 It is said that Mrs. Oliver H. F. Bel mont presented Marble House, her pala- tiaI dwelling at Newport, to her eldest son just before her second marriage and when she was still Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt.
 Mrs Belmont's son is William K. Vanderbilt, ,Ir. He is 18 years old and is at school in Southboro, Mass. He is to enter Yale next term. He is not par ticularly good looking, but is very popu- lar among his sohoolmates.
 The other son, Harold, is now with his mother abroad.
 But Mrs. Belmont's friends say she will be entirely impartial. She gave her 1000, ,00o string of pearls to the Duchess of Marlborough as Q wedding gift. This cannot be regarded as an equivalent of Marble House, however, as the value of pearls varies and they decay with time

 tradicted.
 Miss Mary Garrett, who, until recent ly, was considered the richest woman i'll America, and who, notwithstanding her losses incident to the receivership of the Baltimore 65 Ohio railroad, still pos sesses q vast fortune, has left Baltimore for visit to Bryn Mawr college, near Philadelphia. A letter from her states that she is confined to her bed with ton silitis
 Miss Garrett closed her magnificent town house, corner of Cathedral and Monument streets. Baltimore, some months ago, and since then, with half a dozen male end female attendants, has been living at the Mount Vernon hotel, two doors above her residence She left there, taking number of trunks, leav= ing no word as to where she was going or where she could be found. On the night of the crisis ill Baltimore and Ohio affairs, when the thunderbolt of failure was announced, rumors spread through out the city to the effect that Miss Gar rett had succumbed, and that her health was impaired. The reports were false. as she was then snugly ensconced at the Mount Vernon hotel. Press

OUT OF POLITICS.
Certain Senatorial Employees May Be Put
 on a Different Basis.


 There Is a movement in the senate, which has attained to well defined pro portions, to place some of the employees of that body on basis something like that of the classified service. The steer ing committees of the Republican and Democratic parties in the senate have been considering the motion for several days.
 The proposition is to remove certain of the more important appointlye officers from tho influence of politics and to re- tain them permanently because of lit ness, and to then divide the remaining patronage equally among the senators, regardless of party utilization. This will give each senator, whether chairman or committee or not, one place about equal in salary to that of a messenger. In order to consummate this arrange ment it will be necessary for the Dem- ocrats to surrender about 20 places which they now control, and which will so to Republicans
 The Republican senators have not yet decided upon caucus to consider the matter, but it is understood that they are generally friendly to it. This move is announced to be independent of the proposition to change the offices of sec rotary and sergeant t-arms, but 1t Is generally believed that if it goes through that matter will not be further agitated this session. = Washington Post.

A shadow as of blasted hopes Hns fallen on their lives, And they regret with might and main That they are cabinet wives.

The visit was brief one, but for the few moments that they were together the conversation was so bril- liant that the electric lamps began to burn mistily and took on sallow look. A bit of the chat, culled at random, is as follows: Hello, Marshalli How are you?'
 "Oh, I am we'll, but I don't sleep much nights dreamed last night that was dead, and the heat woke me up. "
 Don't do that again. Where are you going?'
 Up to Troy. Does the Empire State stop there so I can get off?'
 Well, you can get off, you know. but that is not saying where you will alight. y

 He declares he must keep praying in order to keep the evil spirits from seiz- ing him. When he steps into his bed room, he holds his Bible with death like grip to his breast, fearful lest it be wrested from him.
