MAN, WOMAN, CHILD.

A soft summer wind whispered
through the leaves Of two sister ma

Of a lane bordered by rows OF stately
locust trees.

fell like incense. sweetening all the air.
With every ripple of breeze the blos-

deep purple shadows in the arcade

Back from the naples a White farm
house stood, and all about lay the hush
Of amidmorn in the time when spring
is turning into summer.
Suspended between the murmuring
naples a hammock swayed softly n
in the hammock a young man and a
child lay sleeping. The arms Of the
child were clasped around the neck OF
the young man and his wet cheek
pressed the cheek of the older sleeper.
Straylng locks Of his curly brown hair
fell damply across his chubby face.
Below the hammock a tousled dog lay
hattened against the ground, sleeping
too, after the morning romp.
The child was "Bobs," who had been
christened Marshall Edward Alloway,
the son and heir Of John Alloway,
whose broad acres reached down to the

Some or Its Dangers and How they
Are 20 he Avoided.
Numerous accidents occur annually
in the use Of gas for lighting, cooking
or heating, through either carelessness
OF Ignorance. says Casters Magazine.
The largest number OF accidents, prob
ably, occur from ignorant persons eth
er blowing out the gas or turning il OF,
and subsequently turning the cock on
sufficiently for the gas to escape un-
noticed. Many other accidents are the
result of the bad practice Of turning
down a gas flame, particularly in a
bedroom. This is always ill-advised,
for such a turned-down flame may be
either blown out by a draft Of air from
an open window, or else It may be ex-
tinguished by a sudden variation or
reduction in the pressure. When this
happens in a small bedroom without
ventilation there is great danger Of
asphyxiation, particularly so If water
gas is used. Much can be done to avert
this danger by a proper arrangement
Of the gas piping in houses. Another
dangerous custom is to shut off the
gas at the main sarvice or at the gas
meter during the night, and numerous
accidents, some Of them fatal, have re-
suited from It. It is almost equally
bad to turn off the gas at the meter
during the day. Notwithstanding the
universal introduction Of gas lighting,
there are still many persons who would
be benefited by receiving plain instruc-
tioEs on the use of gas in the house
hold. Gas companies would benefit
themselves and tie public by paying
more attention to this matter. Among
available statistics may be found nu-
merous incidents Of death or accidents
due to faulty management of gas.
Among the more~rcmote causes the
writer finds the following mentioned:
In n of two adjoining rooms, sup
piled with gas from n ~so-called pre-
payment gas meter, a man retired for
the night when the gas supply from the
meter was exhausted, but forgot TO
close his gas burner. The occupant of
the adjoining room came home late at
night, dropped a coin in the slot of the
gas meter and got a fresh supply of
gas, which meanwhile also escaped in
the adjoining room, killing the occu-
pant. Escape Of gas and explosions
have also happened in the use Of gas
cooking stoves, where boiling water,
running over the vessel, extinguished
the flame. It has already been men
toned that the So-called independent
gas connections with two keys may
lead to accidents by the wrong one be-
ing turned by mistake. Where the gas
in the cellar freezes in winter time it is
dangerous to attempt to thaw u the
gas meter or service with a flame. A
gas meter should never be examined
with a burning light, nor should any
tools be used near a gas meter known
to be leaky, IN account of the danger
of flying sparks.

MRS. CORNELIUS VANDERBILT JR.

of Dufferin, British ambassador to
France, became very devoted, and her
friends expected a betrothal. About
this time Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr.,
began to assume prominence in the
college world. An upper class man at
Yale, prominent socially, unpreten-
tious with all the great wealth to
which he was to be the heir, he was
one of the most popular young men in
New York. He became attentive to
Miss Wilson, and when he was grad
uated he announced to his father that
he intended to marry. The late Cor
nelius was opposed TO the match and
ordered his heir p~resumptive to forget
the girl of his choice. Obediently,
young Cornelius went to Paris, After
six months the Wilson family also
went to Paris in the course of their
yearly visit to the continent. Upon
hearing the news Mr.. Vanderbilt, Sr.,
sent for his son, asking him to return.
His request was not complied with for
some time, and when he finally came
to New York he told his father that
the idea OF being ~disinherited could not
keep him from the woman he loved.
Without his parents consent he was
married to Miss Wilson. Not one Of
the Vanderbilt family was present at
the ceremony. The solicitations of his
brother and sisters I'm his behalf were
unavaillng; his father would not yield.
When a little child was born to them
It was thought that his tiny hands and
bright little face would soften the
grandfather's heart, but he, too, was
powerless.
Several times IT was said that Cor
nelius Vanderbilt had forgiven his son
for his love marriage, but when the
will Of the manager of the Vanderbilt
interests was probated it was found
young Cornelius had been left but one
one-hundredth part Of the vast estate.
There IS considerable difference be-
tween one and sixty million dollars,
but Alfred. his brother. came forward
generously and gave him enough to
equal the share OF the other children.
Mrs. Cornelius. Jr., had remained neu-
trail throughout the whole affair: UNI
willing 10 give mp the man she loved
and yet not Wishing 10 do anything
p%reiudlcial 10 his interests. a digni-
Ned silence, not trying 10 influence her
lance IA amy way, created gr,t.t re-
spect for her. and her friends were
very happy when She was finally, mar
ried. These two young people disre-
garded everything but love In their
choice OF a partner for life, and there
are few men or women la the world
possessed Of q grain OF sentiment who
DO not approve OF the course they
chose.

In all probability no woman in New

eyes of the public during the last two
years as Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr.
Event after event occurred which CON

which were OF great interest to all
who have known OF the Vanderbilt af-
fairs. Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt. Jr.,
was born Grace Wilson. one Of the

called the Napoleon Of matchmakers

cess; II is doubtful II four children Of

brilliantly than her children. Before
Mrs. Vanderbilt was married she re-
ceived more than her share OF the at
tentions of prominent men. Col. John
Jacob Aston was one of the first to
admire her at her debut, and at one
time rumor, which is so %precipitate

A queer fact, well known by medi.
cal men connected with hospitals. is
thai the doctors can tell with almost
absolute certainty which classes of ia
talities and accidents fit in with given
days and even hours, One of the doc

nishes by far the highest proportion of
mishaps to work people, but l must
say hat this proportion is rapidly di-
minishing. Nearly all the attempted
suicides come in during the very early
part of the day, and the first accident
patches early in the day have a large
number of men who work on scanolds
among them. Hardly a morning goes
by without a scaffold casualty case. At
ter IL o'clock in the morning most Of
the cases arise from street accidents,
and when evening comes cases arising
from drunken rows and deliberate as
saults begin to come in, Nearly all the
domestic cases-where wives have

take me a long time to group the Tegu-

AMERICANS CLING 70 BUTTONS
Useless Sartorlal Accessories That Are

Useless Sartorial Accessories That Are
Deemed Indispensable by Men.
Americans cling to old customs near
ly as much as do foreigners. Prob
ably nothing is more useless than the
buttons on the back of a mans coat
and yet they have come down through
many years and no coat is considered
complete without them. In the old
days, when every gentleman wore a
sword, nothing d~etracted more from
his dignity than to have the sword
belt sag down in the back. The but
tons were placed on the coat so that
the belt might rest on them and be
even all around. Later, when swords
were discarded and in the revolution
airy days, the gentlemen wore coats
with flowing skirts. The skirts were
considered highly ornamental when the
wearer was standing still, but when he
went for his walk the tapping of the
skirts caused him to present an an
pearance more ridiculous than dignf-
fed, so the skirts were made with a
small buttonhole in the corner and our
torefathers buttoned the skirts on the
back of the coat when they sailed
forth with their canes and snuf boxes.
The buttons are all that remain to lis
OF the costumes of those days. The
buttons on the sleeves come from the
same times. The gentlemen o neith-
en- mittens o gloves, but instead he
had the sleeves of his coat made long
so that he could draw them over his
hands, even to the tips of his fingers.
1t added more to the dignity of the
gentleman's appearance to go forth
with his hands clasped in front of him
and his sleeves meeting so as to COW
er them than it would have done to
wear large and clumsy mittens. On
warm days the gentleman did not de-
sire to have his hands covered. SO the
sleeves were made with a slit back
to the wrists and the gentleman turn
ed back the sleeves and buttoned them
so that they made a cuff. Hence. the
buttons on the sleeves and the slit in
the sleeve frequently made and care
fully sewed up on the coats of the pres
ent day.-Indianapolis Press.
