the construction of a safe. It was built into the wall on the second floor in small room to the rearsof his own sleep ing apartment. Thomas sleeps on the other side of it. Mir Astor knows con siderable about electricity and the safe is fitted with an electrical attachment. which would be difficult for thief to get around. The wires run through the safe itself and into the wall at the back to prevent their being tempered with. When the safe door Is closed the connee- tion is established and the slightest touch on the combination lock would set dozen bells ringing, also an alarm in the nearest district messenger office. MT. Astor and Thomas are the only ones in the house who know how to turn the current off. It would be almost as diff ficult to burglarze this safe as to rob the safe of big bank
 The Vanderbilt Safes.
 Tn the big Vanderbilt houses on Fifth avenue at Fifty-first street there are row of four safes built into tine wall in q small room on the ground of, the cen tral house occupied by Mrs. William H. Vanderbilt. No one outside of the fami- ly knows the value of the treasures con tained in these safes, but a million would hardly buy them. Two watchmen patrol these houses all night long and in addi- tion there is a watchman posted on the outside in the street.
 Commodore Elbridge T. Gerry was al- ways fond of mystery, so he keeps good-szed painting hung in front of the door of his safe, which is built into the wall in a room adjoining his sleeping apartment. The painting is supplement- ed by an electrical attachment similar to that used by MT. Astor, and burglars would have a hard time getting away with any of the Gerry treasures.
 Mrs. Hicks-Lord, the former society queen, lives in dread of burglars in her big house on Washington Square West. She is reputed to have the finest collec- tion of unique jewels in the country, and it gave her immenst pleasure to exhibit them to her friends. But of late years she has feared they might attract thieves, so she keeps them in the vaults of a saft deposit company. About eight years ago thief got into her house. and since then she has made a veritable for tress of her home.

You note the difference in children. Some have nearly every ailment, even with the best of care. Others far more exposed pass through unharmed. Weak children will have continuous colds in winter, poor digestion in summer. They are with out power to resist disease, they have no reserve strength.

Seattle. March I. 1895.
To the Editor: As a member Of the char
ter commission. / will vote for the adop-
ton of the charter largely for the reasons
given by my friend Joslln for voting
against IL.
The charter commission was elected to
simplify the existing charter by abolishing
boards and commissions and reducing ex-
penses- Let Us see how well they fulflled
the objects for which they were elected.
Al the boards and commissions of the
present charter, except the health board.
which Is established by act Of the legisla-
ture and consequently beyond the reach
OF the commission. and the board of public
works. which is recast and improved, are
virtually abolished. II Is true there is a
park committee. which is simply advisory.

parks being given the city council. and the
same IS true Of the library commission.

dual council of eighteen members is abol-
tshea and a single house or thirteen men,

large. substituted. Let me ask what more
would Won have done in the way If doing
