Cornelius Vanderbilt Is not man

he can enjoy n Joke when 1t Is on him

This was proved by his experience at

Saratoga In 1900. He attended that
convention as delegate from one of
the Manhattan districts. The city
editor Of one of the yellow newspapers
across the river wanted to get him to
tell his impressions of the convention,
so the editor telegraphed to the re-
porter who was covering the c0nven-
ton to ask Vanderbilt to write signed

The reporter knew that Mr.. Wander

porter wrote a colorless article describ-

As the experiment had succeeded the

that he was doing very clever work

yet the victim would like to know, Just
for curiosity, how long 1t was to be

THE ABANDONED FARMS.
New England FarnhOuses That Have
Become summer Cottages
and Residences.

The evolution of the abandoned
farms into something better and more
profitable than they ever were before
has become a noticeable feature in the
rural sections of New England. The
Boston Transcript calls attention to
the change in Berkshire county, Mass,
where abandoned farms a few years
ago were so numerous that it was
feared the western part of the state
in some sections would soon be depop-
ulated. In place of that there has
been a record breaking period of con.
struction of street railways. The cree
ton of big and modern hotels has been
noteworthy. \ large number of new
industries of minor importance have
been inaugurated. In many cases the
former abandoned farms have become
summer residences for those who have
plenty of money to spend and who are
anxious to spend it. The advent of the
summer boarder has caused the desert
of the last decade to bloom as a rose
garden. The abandoned farm house
has now become a summer cottage,
whose picturesqueness delights the
trained eye of an artist"
All this, says the Chicago Tribune,
is but the natural outcome of the
movements of social summer life.
Originally the season lasted only from
June until September and the seashore
was the favorite resort. Gradually
the rush for investments became 50
great that nearly all available sites on
the New England shore from Stoning-
ton to PASSPORT have been taken up,
as well as the islands near shore.
Those that are left are held at such
high figures that only millionaires can
purchase and improve them. Little
by little the summer cottages have
been pushed farther inland, and as the
season has now been extended from
September, when the seaside resorts
clos, to Thanksgiving time, and the
social locality changed from the shore
to the hills, there has been a steadily
increasing demand for these "aban-
doned farms" as autumn residences
and summer residences alike. Not "A
few of them also have been bought for
golf links and the old farm houses
turned into clubhouses.
Thus what was at one time serious
problem has been most happily solved,
and those who have been lucky enough,
after moving away to the cities or
elsewhere, to hold on to their land
will make handsome profits. The
wornout old farm has more than once
proved to be bonanza

WEIGHTY OPINIONS.

The battle against alcohol is the
most significant phenomenon of our
age; more important than all po-
1tical action, wars, and treaties of
peace.-Adolf Flick, NJ. D., Professor
of Physiology, University of Wurz-
burg, Bavaria.
"What becomes of the alcohol which
is absorbed into the circulation? Some
of it passes to the liver, and some cir
culates in the blood to every part of
the body. 1t is only an inference to
say that alcohol is oXidized; this is not
proven. If it is oXidized, it is strange
that it continues to exercise physio-
logical action, and TO be eXcreted in
small quantities hours after it is
aaken."-Dr. Ridge.
The fear that statements concern
ing alcohol and its effects should be ex-
travagant and not represent the real
facts is hard to explain, and does not
appear in other matters or questions
of reform. Why untrue statements in
regard to alcohol cannot be discovered
and disproved as quickly as any other
errors, and why the truth of this drug
should not be welcomed and accepted
with as much confidence as any other
statement. are psychological mys-
teries.-Journal Inebriety.
The New York school of clinical
medicine has attracted unusual at
tention in establishing a chair for
the study of spirit and drug
psychoses. The need for such a
work is recognized, and up to The

Thought it of any interest except to
make casual reference to it in
their lectures. The startling state
ments noticed in this copy of the
journal are the clearest evidence of
the need of special instruction in
this new field

The eggs of blue-bottle fly, If
placed in the sun, will hatch in two

that the larvae of three blue-b bottle
flies will devour the carcass of

rapidly do these insects increase, and
so voracious do they become.

ACQUIRED DEGENERATION.
Alcohol Is the Most Important Factor
in Producing This Condition
of Mind and Body.

Alcohol is the most important factor
in acquired degeneration. The disas-
trous effects of alcohol upon the devel-
oping egg has been proved expert
mentally. Fere found that the iniec-
ton of few drops of an alcoholic solu-
ton beneath the shell was followed by
a great variety of developmental de-
fects. 1t is rather difficult, however, to
determine the relationship in which
idiocy and alcoholism stand. to each
other. Drunkenness of parent at the
time of conception has long been re-
garded as a fertile cause of imbecility.
Young man." said Diogenes to a

When, therefore, the child of a
drunkard turns out feeble-minded. it
seems as though there may well have
been cause antedating the alcohol

sons are frequent among the forbears
of idiots. Ireland, in his Mental Az

An Autumn Dainty,

Oyster sandwiches are an early
autumn dainty that is a speciality OF
a certain country-house chatelaine
at her hearth-fre parties. The oys-
ters are cooked about two minutes,
just enough to make them firm. They
are then stirred into a stiff mayor
naise, and spread between thin slices
of sandwich bread. The dressing
should be highly seasoned, a bit of
finely-chopped red pepper being an
Improvement. Small oysters are used
by this housekeeper, and they are
not chopped, which is an innovation
over most sandwiches. Another way
to make oyster sandwiches is to fry
large oysters, placing one between
bread slices with lettuce-leaf
dipped in French dressing to which
good dash of cayenne pepper has
been added.-N. Y. Post.

1t appears that in the little town of

proprietor named Arnell. After sew

his house, and his little girl only six
years old, hearing him coming and
fearing him in his condition, ran up

the shot, ran upstairs, and was met by
