ONE VICTIM OF VEsUvIUs.
American Who Lost His Life Fifty
Years Ago.


There came near being a tragedy on
Mount Vesuvius recently. when several
ladies ventured too near the crater and
were all but swept away by streams Of
molten lava which poured from the
mountain. This fact recalls the sad death
nearly fifty years ago of Charles Carroll
Bayard. of Delaware, who had many rQla-
tives in Maryland and who was widely
known in this state.
The accident which cost Mr. Bayard his
life happened in 1850 He was an officer
in the navy, and. arriving at Naples a
party of naval officers and others was
made up TO visit the crater of yesuvius.
which was then semi-sctive Among those
with him was the late Charles Tucker Car
rcl. now United States consul at Cadiz
Richard f. Bayard. father of Richard ii.
Bdyard. of Baltimore, and a relative of
the late Thomas +. Rayari.
The party had reached the summit of the
mountain when suddenly there was q
shower Of red-hot stones thrown high in
the air. All hands took to their heels.
and Il few moments later discovered that
Mr. Bayard was lying on the ground be-
hind them one OF the heavy hot stones
had struck him the arm, making n
fr.ghtfu wound. lie was taken hack TO
Naples and given the tenierest nursing
but he died, and mis- body is buried there.
his tomb having been suitably marked IN
later years.
The strange thing about the accident was
the fact that Mr.. Bayari was ioath 70

NIacAIonnies' Studio In Paris.

Those who expect to find in the studio
of Frederick MacMonnies in Paris a
sumptuous apartment, full of rare and
costly ''objets dart" and hung with
luxurious tapestries and brocades will
be greatly astonished upon beholding
its almost barnlike severity. 1t is a
workshop pure and simple, and its very
baroness is eloquent of the high and
serious plane on which the sculptor puts
his art. But those who have seen it pro-
nounce it fascinating for all that. There
is not even floor. One finds himself on
entering on bare, uneven ground. In
one corner is a big cage, and inside is a
beautiful wild leopard, continually pac-
ing up and down. MacMonnies is SO
fond of animals that he keeps this beast
in his studio for the pleasure of watch
ing the beauty of its stealthy move
ments. Scattered all around are numer-
Gus old casts of finished work, and also
the uncompleted fragments he is now
at work on. Among the former are the
familiar Sir Harry Vane of the Boston
Public library and the beautiful but I'M
fortunate Bacchante, and among the
latter are parts for the colossal groups
for the gateway of the Brooklyn park,
to which he is woodworking all of his
time. Chicago Inter Ocean.

Simla's Idea of Fun.

One of the most amusing incidents of
the recent Simla season was the imper-
sonation of two foreign noblemen by
two gentlemen we'll known in Simla So
ciety, one of them posing as the war
correspondent Of the italian paper
Roma. Skillful was the disguise, and so
admirably were their parts kept up that
the two distinguished foreigners spent
the evening with party in the COM
mander in chiefs box and afterward had
supper on the stage with the actors
without their identity being discovered.
AT supper the count appeared to find
the wines of the English more potent
than those of his own country, and the
speeches. horror of the mamma when
he commenced to pay marked court to
her daughter very nearly caused the
baron to die Of suppressed laughter and
apoplexy. Next day, when the hoax
was discovered, there was some iutter-
ing in the dovecots as to what they had
said to the foreign noblemen and what
the wicked count had said to them. The
rest of Simla roared. Lahore Civic and

Something to Know.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best remedy for restor-
inc the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Btters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone TO the nerve centers in
the stomach, gently stimulates TIE
liver and kidneys, and aids these or
gans in throwing off impurities in the
blood. Electric Bitters improves the
appetite, aids digestion, and is pro-
nounced by those who have tried it as
the very best blood purifier and nerve
tonic. Try it. Sold for so cents or

Duticr of Citizenship.

No citizen has a right to criticise
public affairs or bewail evil conditions
which may exist unless he is willing to
work, as all citizens should, to better
those conditions. Let him ask himself
IL he has done his own duty before he
laments the fact that others have failed
in theirs. Let him be certain that he
understands the duties of citizenship in
his country. Few perfectly understand
their obligations as citizens, although
the subject is one TO which every free
man should devote careful study. They
would then be capable of active and in
teIligent effort and would perceive the
folly of idle criticism. They would then
know that liberty, like all things truly
valuable, cannot be gained or kept with
out great effort and that it remains not
long with the undeserving.-S

Flow cold was Found on the K1ondfke

1.-The River Trip to the Klondike'' is
described in The Century by John Sid
ney Webb. The author says:
The famous Bonanza creek and the
more famous FL Dorado creek are very
like ordinary, everyday creeks in ap-
pearance-a little less civilized perhaps
than creeks to be met with in the east.
There are men living in Alaska today
who have hunted moose over these
creeks dozens of times; but, as the old
miners say, there were no surface indi-
cations TO lead any one to suppose that
gold might be found in them, so hun
dreds of miners passed by in their boats,
going to Forty Mile and Circle City.
The finding of such gold is always an
accident, and the old hands are usually
the last to realize the truth. "Stick
George" Cormack and his squaw's rela-
tives camped on the creek for dinner
one day and somehow got to digging
and washed out some gold. He went to
Forty Mile and made claim for discov-
cry, and soon the news spread like wild

Having had considerable experience
in turtle catching, ] know a swimmer
can frequently approach a sleeping tur-
tie from behind and leap on its back
before it awakes. The creatures first
impulse ia to dive, but if its rider
knows his business he can instantly
bring it to standstill by forcing his
fingers into its horny eyes, when it at
once floats motionless on the surface.
In the case of a midshipman whom /
know of he got ON a turtles back and
enjoyed a ten minutes ride, sometimes
on the surface of the water, sometimes
under, before he brought the animal to
q standstill.
Three things are certain-frst, the
ability of a man to get on a sleeping
turtles back; second, by sitting far
back on its shell to keep it near the
surface; third, 10 instantly stop its ca
reer by reducing it to blindness. Hav
