Dickens, in his American Notes."
described one Charles Langheimer
delving In his little garden outside his
eastern penitentiary cell and the
thought coming to him that the man
was digging his W grave, says the
Philadelphia Times. He further wrote
of him: "a more detected, heart-brok-
en-, wretched creature it would be diff
cult to imagine. I never saw such a
picture of forlorn affection and dis
tress of mind. l never saw or heard
of any kind of misery that impressed
me more than the wretchedness of this
man" That was in 1841. In 1870 Dick
ems died. In 1885 L~angheimer was
still alive. But that is not all of the
tale. When the novelist saw the Ger
man thief he was serving his second
term of Imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary. After that he served twelve
more, fourteen in all, in the same in
stitution. The narrator ace saw him
in the quarter sessions after he had
been sentenced to a brief imprison-
ment in the county prison. With tears
pouring down his cheeks he begged to
be sent back to the ~penitentiary, ven
though his time had to be doubled.
His request was granted. When Lang
heimer was 80 years of age and free of
prison and without a penny in his
pocket and almost too feeble to steal,
he either reached the conclusion Or
was advised that he had better end his
days peacefully in the almshouse, where
| he would be taken good car of. He
was given an order of entrance to that
institution and went there and was
treated with extra consideration. He
remained there but two days, when he
walked out, travelled to. the Eastern
penitentiary, called upon Warden Cas-
sidy and with a broken voice and with
tears in his eyes begged that kindly
official to let him die in his old cell.
His wish was granted and there a few
days later he breathed his last, but
not as a convict. Solitary confinement
that permits people to die of old age
cannot be such a dreadful thing.

Skipping 0 p exercises for middle
aged gentlemen affected with oliver"
or indigestion is the latest alleged
medical fad to which the humorists
of the press have directed their atten-
ton. The London correspondent OF
the Gazette asserts that this novel
form of adult exercise is being used
on rainy mornings as a substitute for
the mile and a half run before break
fast, which has been prescribed by a
west end physician as a~remedy for
that condition of the liver which in
London is due to want of outdoor ex-
ercise and late hours, hard work and
bad air. There are professional men
and others who take their run in he
park before breakfast every fine morn
ing and who bless the good physician
who discovered this simple way of re-
storing health. It's effects in some
cases have been marvellous. BY "run"
is not meant a sharp walk, but actual
running.-Birmingham Gazette.

Mad Dogs ViciousnesR.

Monroe (Ga.) Advertiser: A mad
dog took in the community around
Brent some weeks ago and bit four
COWS, all of which have since died
from the rabies. Three of the cows be-
longed to two negroes named Battle
and Mays, and one to Mr.. A. j. Zell-
ner and was a four-gallon cow valued
at $50. While the dog was in the lot
biting the cows his back was broken
by the animals who were chasing
around the place in mad confusion, and
the owner of the cows hearing the
noise hurried to the lot and killed the
dog. Had not the cows disabled the
dog by breaking his back, he might
have escaped and bitten some n in
the neighborhood, and it was indeed a
narrow escape for the residents of that
community.

Just as at the exhibition of 1889 the
great thing was to mount the Eiffel

is to roll around the circle Of the Trot-

for the Trottoir roulant, or the plate

as it indifferently is termed. Imagine
exactly what it is-a sidewalk built
twenty feet above the ground, pro-
tected on each side by ratings, with
steps to climb up to it at short inter-
walls. From below 1t looks like an ele-

from Yale in 1899. He was making a
tour of the world, and had reached
Japan when his father died. Return
ing home, he found that his father had
passed by his eldest son, Cornelius j.,
and had left the entire fortune of
800, 000, 900 to himself. Very gener-
ously, however, Alfred Gwynne disre-
garded this arrangement, and turned
over some $1,000, 900 to his brother.
This action was a noble one. A family
feud i've the distribution of the Van
derbilt interests would inevitably have
affected many innocent persons who
were interested in Vanderbilt proper
ties. 1t seemed proper and correct
enough to settle all dispute by giving
away a kings ransom, but how many
young men are there just out of college
who could have done it so quickly and
so gracefully. Alfred Gwynne is q
modest young man, and is said to have
inherited the Vanderbilt genius for
finance. Young Vanderbilt inherited
the Vanderbilt millions in accordance
with the traditions of the family. At

lam H. Vanderbilt. who was said to
have inherited about $40, 000, 900 at the
age OF 56. When William H. Wander
bilt died he left the bulk Of his fortune
to his eldest son, Cornelius, who in
herited about $50, OOO, 900 at the age of
AZ. And now Alfred Gwynne has in
herited 800, 000, 900 from his father, the
latter cutting off the elder son be-
cause of his marriage, which dis
pleased his father. His bride-to-be is
a daughter of the late Ormond French,
who was tenth in descent from Edward
French, one of the founders of Fps
witch, Mass, in 1886. She is an heiress
in her own right, and is an athletic
young woman, with a fondness for
sailing, riding, swimming and tennis.
She was a playmate of her future hus-
band in her childhood, and is Fl years

It is a common experience among
mountain climbers to find butterflies
lying frozen on the snow, and so brit
tie that they break unless they are
very carefully handled. Such frozen
butterflies on being taken to a warmer
climate recover themselves and fly
away. Some insects which habitually
hibernate, as larvae OF pupae, do not
suffer from being frozen, even for a
heightened period; but what is known
as an open winter, with its alterna-
lions of wet, warmth and cold, is far
more fatal to them. Six species Of but
terfies have been found within a few
hundred miles of the north pole.

There are no stops, no starts. AS
fast as the crowds pile in it receives
them. 1t has not yet found its limit
the packed standing room around It's
entire surface.
The length of the sidewalk Is 1870
meters Zone meter equaling S.3 feet),
and it's total moving width is 2.8 me-
tiers, which makes a total surface OF
-9,436 square meters. AS four adults
to the square meter is considered a
liberal n~on-crowding average, 1874
persons might move around with the
trottoir at the same time.
The company that operates it has
put a notice up: "The payment of one
fare of so confines entities visitors
to one trip only round the Sidewalk"
1t is a dead letter. Old ladies even
bring their folding camp stools n
sit calmly taking in the panorama.
Indeed, there Is no better way to get
a quick view of the fair. Here we pass
the Rue des Nations. Walking with
the platform one seems to stride past
the national pavilions in seven-leagued
boots. The effect is curious. Then If
you walk against it, you stand still
with respect to the outside world. AS
everybody must have read by
this time, the moving side
walk moves with two different
speeds. The right-hand strip
goes at the rate of a stroll. The left
hand strip goes at the rate Of something
more than a brisk walk. If you have
walked ahead of your party you have
only to step on to the slow strip and
they will soon roll up and overtake
you. Or you may step on to the sta
tionary strip, when they will seem to
come rolling twice as fast. Some peo-
pie like to ride standing still. The
nervous man who likes to walk a little
now and hen has only to step on the
slow strip to stroll on beside his stand
ing friends. Few people can resist the
temptation thus to play with the side
walk. The little children jump from
combination to combination squat
ing ecstatically. The girls-great big
girls-are almost as bad. Hopping
from strip to strip, preserving their
center of gravity by candid clutches at
: utter strangers, skipping back and
forth with engaging abandon, these
lively mes realize much of the tourists
preconceived ideal of the Parisienne,
frolicsome and coquettish. We saw
