making prominent anarchist patron
of the greatest art exhibit in this
country. If appearance has anything
to do with the matter, the organiza-
ton might be pardoned for nistaking
an eminent anarchist for an equally
eminent artist for both professions are
apt to lead to wild air and careless
mien. This particular anarchist call
ed himself M. Louis Marcy. and claim
ed to be the brother-in-law Of a fam
Gus Spanish painter. In this guise he
made overtureS to the managers OF the
museum and presented to it some art
treasures, and then informed the au-
thorities that he had other precious
antiques which he would be glad to sell
to the museum. The matter was dis
cussed and it was finally decided that
the funds were not available with
which to purchase the art objects
which M. Louis Marcy was willing to
let go at a smaller price owing to his
great desire to foster art in this coun-
try, ETC., etc. Then it was that M.
Marcy disappeared, and in Paris was
arrested a famous anarchist long
wanted by the police. In his Paris
| home were found the best collection of
| imitation curios and antiques ever
seen, and this agitator and the patron
of the museum were found to be one
and the same. However, even if he
had been successful and palmed off on
this country some of his spurious an
tiques, probably not one in a hundred
of the visitors to the museum would
have been the wiser
Mr.. Alfred G. Vanderbilt had a most
trying experience lately and surely all
! hearts will go out to him when 1t is
| learned that he was caught in a terri
BILE storm and soaked to the skin. Mr..
Vanderbilt, with friend, was auto
MODELLING from Atlantic City to New
York. Everything was going smoothly,
| and not even child had been knocked
down and killed, when a terrible storm
| came UP and the two autoiStS were
| caught in the very worst of it and ar
| rived at New Brunswick in an exceed
J ingly wet and muddy condition. The
| two men went to a hotel. where they
| thought they could obtain some dry
clothes. Now it happened that the
| proprietor Of the hotel was short and
| stout, and Mr.. Vanderbilt is tall and
| thin. Nevertheless, Mr.. Vanderbilt
| borrowed of him suit of clothes, and
thus arrayed started for New York. 1t
may be that the millionaire thought it
| better to borrow than to send out and
| buy a hand down." or it may have
| been that he had no money with him
and was unknown in New Brunswick

! this tall young man went to New York
! in clothes built for short one, and if
| he was not recognized as one of the
| elect he had only himself to thank
| for it.
New York has a mystery and it is no
| less than the age of Mr.. William Ran
! dolph Hearst. editor and candidate for
| the presidency nominated by the jour-
| mails over which he presides Not very
| long ago Mr.. Hearst took to himself a
wife and in the report of the marriage.
the age of the fair bride was given,
which seems really to have nothing
! to dc with the case-but the age Of
| the groom was not stated. Equally ST.
| lent is who's Who in America" which
usually tells all about the famous. but
in the case of Mr.. Hearst says not a
word of the distinguished year which
gave him birth. Now when a woman
conceals her age or is silent on the
subject-as all well-bred women
should bet is put down to a hest
fancy in letting the public know her
age. but. in the case of a man. what
can it be? Whatever be his age, Mr..
Hearst is old enough to run several
papers which have revolutionized Jour
| nalism, and the public is anxious to
know what he is going to do next.
A writer in one of the July maya
zines prohesies an early change in the
methods Of teaching in fact he sees a
coming revolution in matters pedagog-
1c which means the overthrow of the
little red schoolhouse, so long worship
ed as our symbol of the influence Of
mind over matter. AS this writer sees
it. the past has kept it's dead hand
upon the present through the means Of
| the schoolmaster who has handed down
| traditions and theories now worn out
and decidedly effete. In this new way
OF teaching we are to give up the old
way of running the minds of the young
in one mold. producing uniform excel
lence, but little individuality. In the
future education must turn to individ-
uallSm If 1T would produce geniuses.
These ideas are in line with the
thoughts of a certain distinguished lee
turer who said the other day that chill
dren should not be corrected. He has
no children. After reading this learn
ed article upon the future children who
are going to grow up in their own
sweet way, it inspires in the reader
a deep thankfulness that he lives now
and not in ages yet to be.
There is hope in the operation re-
Gently performed for tetanus in Cleve-
| AoHos III Which SOIl6 PHYSICIANS inject
ed antitoxin into the brain of the VIC
tim. Perhaps the result of this, even
| If it does not cure this particular man,
! is full of hope for the future, for if
science finds way of injecting some
thing into the brain, or where the
brain ought to be, it is a tremendous
| step onward. Now, if scientists can
| lind out the active principle of mans
| brain, and can compound gray mat
| ter just as they mix anything else. it
! is only q question of time when brains
can be injected into the mentally de-
fective. The possibilities of this are
far-reaching and tremendous. Ulti-
| mately 1t might do away with educa-
| tional institutions, as brains already
educated might be used in the course
| of time. To follow this out would be
bewildering. but it is a hint of what
science may accomplish.
The case growing out of the stimuli

threatens to divide Paris into hostile
camps after the manner Of the Drey-

French lawyers a good deal of BUSH
