The physical collapse OF ccrnelius Van
derbilt, ST., is another excmplific alton OF
the American business mans reck less dis
regard of the ordinary laws OF health and
the elementary conditions to sustain the
vital powers OF the nervous system.
Here is a man of unhounded wealth, oDe
OF the richest men, II not the richest man,
in the United States: tontrolling vast in
terests; having as his aids capable men
who could have relieved him OF all save
supervisory work and yet he Iahorcd hard
er than any OF his employees, from the
highest to the lowest. He gave himself n o
rest; his working hours were night and
day: that recreation which disCards every
thought of business was an unknown guam
tity to him. There was constant CON
sumption but no replenishiDg OF brain
tissues; and the machine pUfrcd on, the
fuel getting less and less, until at last the
inevitable happened. Nature rehelled:
paralysis set in, and not the family and
friends are waiting for the end. He is
at that age where he should have been
in the full enjoyment OF virile strength
and nervous energy; but he disc ounted the
years ahead of him and crowded the work
of fifty years into twenty-five.
1t was no graspiug avarice that impelled
Cornelius Vanderbilt to oonsume his vi
talty in this manner. lie interested him
self in great educational charitable and
religious undertakings: founded churches,
hospitals, schools and libraries: called into
existence the Railroad Young Mems Chris
tian Association; patronized art, and did
hundred other things besides looking after
the vast railroad systems of which he was
/ the head He did it quietly and unostenta-
tiousIy; did not indulge in social dissipa-
tion, but lived for his business. and tl.ose
things in which he had interested himself.
Like hundreds, aye. thousands, OF other
American business men, he did not di-
vorce himself from his business when he
left his office, but took it iome with him
to his family circle. 1t abode with him,
waking and sleeping, and even in such

NEW EXECUTIVE MANSION.

In his annual report Col. John n. Wilson,
in charge OF public buildings and grounds.
renewshis recommendation for the erection
OF suitable building as an office Of the
President. The White House is none too
large for the residence OF the Chief Mag!s-
trate of the nation, and the ever-increasing
public business causes the office room IL
the building TO encroach more and more
upon the portion set aside for dwelling
purposes. Besides, il is not at all reason-
able that the President and his family are
thus crowded into a building. which under
any circumstances should BE- set apart for
either his dwelling or his Office.
The White House no doubt answered all
purposes when the nation was young, the
executive business not as onerous, and the
lack Of transportation facilities made WIS.,
itors from a distance a rare sight. Condi-
tions have changed very much since then.
The country has expanded. the population
augmentation OF railroads has brought the
most distant part of the country to the
very threshold of the capital and where
one stranger used to visit the city fifty
years ago a thousand visit it now. All
this has a bearing upcn the White House
and its occupants, and hence Col. Wilson'S
recommendations should receive at the
hands OF Congress more than passing at
tcntion. s,.-.. ...-a.
Some persons object to the abandonment
of the White House as residence of the
President on account OF the historical
associations OF the structure. There is
no need to thus abandon 1t, hut IL Retained
for dwelling purposes 1t ought To lie en-
larged and modcrnizcd in all Its interior
arrangements. In that event also Col
Wilson'S suggestion OF separate office
building, TO be conveniently connected with
the White House, should he carried out
and the President and his family per
mitted to enjoy that privacy OF the
home which is the privilege OF everyone.

TO my notice the other day said he, ''one

false teeth giving her gums pain, and at
last came to me to try and have the matter
rencdied. Much to the surprise of both Of

of teeth. In a short time she had cut an en-
tire new set above and below, and they all
seem to be s sound as the teeth of a person
in the prime of life. Buttie thing that must
seem beyond belief, and which is yet true,
is that one of the new teeth had gold
filling in it.
I'm a jaw tooth on the lower left side
piece of gold about as large as match head
was found, roughly, though solidly, i'm
bedded in the crust Of the tooth. The only
way the affair could be explained was
through the fact that the lady several years

mer teeth, andit is supposed to have worked
around in her body, like foreign substances
