TOO LAZY TO GET UP.
Russian Millionaire Who Has Not

An original character is Baron
Hugo Ortliet, millionaire. who
spends his time between his magnif-
cent palaces at st. Petersburg and
Moscow and his supurb country seat
near Kazan, but always in bed, says
lhe Philadelphia Press.
For ten years me has not got up
or dressed. There has never been
anything the matter with him ply
sicaIly, and even to-day, in spite of
his bulk. his bodily condition fur
nishes a striking illustration of the
fallacy of the assertion that much
exercise is indispensable to the pres
arvation of health. But somewhere
about 1892. after having exhausted
every conceivable form of pleasure
ard excitement. he took 10 his bed
from sheer cuuul and has remained
there ever since.
lie does not even leave it when he
travels. his bed being carried from
his rooms to ID ially-constructed
carriage and thence to his private
railway saloon. and he always tray-
els by special train. lie il quite an
average man in all other respects,
manages his immense property with
the greatest sagacity and ~hrewd-
aess. and is brilliant and witty in
conversation.

VIRTUE WAS REWARDED
AH Ohio Roy Receives Large Reward
for Simple POIiteness and Free

Items telling how young men and
young women have been rewarded for
returning packages of money and bags
Of diamonds w4th gifts VARYING from
one TO five dollars have been so nu-
merous recently that the old adage
about virtue being its own reward has
been beautifully exemplifed, accord

face of many evidences of a lack OF
generosity toward those who are truly
good, 1t is pleasant news that an Ohio
boy has received g, 100 from a stranger

Rig Trees of Florida.

1t is difficult even 10 guess at the
ace Of the ancient live oaks, says
Country Life in America, but some
of them must number centuries, and
the oldest and greatest of them all
is a monarch of the forest, with its
outer branches sweeping the ground
in a circle l2O feet across. with limbs
as great as ordinary trunks of trees
and bearing a garden of aerial ferns
and air plants upon their bark. This
venerable tree is supposed to be the
largest live oak in Florida. Enormous
grapevine trunks rise sinuouSly from
the ground and lose themselves amid
the quarter-acre Of foliage that
crowns this tree; the Saplings that
once gave them support have disap.
peared long years ago. their only
record being the angles and curves
IF grape vine stem to which they lent
their transient aid in climbing sky

LETTERS FROM HEAVEN.
dianapOlis Crank to the Nation
al Treasury Department..

For five or six years the treasury de-
,artment has periodically received a
etter or epistle from an indianapolis
nan who signs himself United States
n Heaven, and who dates his epistles
Heaven" The latest of these commu-
ications is in line with all the others,
and although brief is iuteres ting. as
showing the class Of matter which
sometimes reaches the executive de-
partments. This one is dated
Heaven, 50, 9, IS" and is as follows:
4 do not care to set up my opinion in
controversy with the others of the
American bar, but l have opposed the
Panama canal because l think it uI-
wise, because the French company has
a doubtful title" II is signed United
States in Heaven"
The communications from this cor
respondent are promptly transferred
to the waste basket, and from there
are carried out by the chaTWomen who
.lean up the treasury department. No
answer is sent to this alleged heaven
ly' correspondent. In some Of the de-
partments the heads are so exceeding
Iy courteous in their treatment Of cor
respondents that they might be dis
posed to insist upon an answer to com
municatiOns Of this kind, but this is not
so in the treasury department.

communication is always responded to

SNUG LITTLE FRENCH INNS.
Charming Old HoSteIries Which Have

Automobile.

"Thi, talk about the GecaGence Of
those delightful French and English
inns il ali nonsense" said a man who
recently returned from a European
trip. The advent of the automobile
was a godseud TO them. and their pat
roEage has been greatly increased

BOOKS ON STREET CARS.
New Workers Are NOtIcenbIy Given
to the Habit Of Reading " lille
in Transit.

The street-car-ridiug public of New
York has been having some nice
things said about it, says the New
York Times. The man who said them
is pretty well acquainted with the
street ear habits of every large city
in the United States. and his verdict
ought to- be worth something You
Gothamites may be great on the
push and pull and hustle" he said,
but if the number OF library books
seen in street cars these days are
an index To the public taste, you also
stack mp pretty well intelligently. 1
never struck town where so many
street car passengers read library
books. Even III the rush hours,
when i; is all a person can do to
find space for his body, half the peO-
pie are bent ON mental expansion.
Library books stare you in the face,
lab YOU in the back and hump your
elbows ON the right and left. l have
never taken the trouble to find out
the kind of literature that there
abouuds. but whatever the nature
of the books. the travelling libraries

THE ACTORS OF CHINA.
Theirs Is a Profession Which Once
Adopted L. Vital To Those Who
Follow Ii.

Actors in China are usually very
well paid, but likewise are much
despised. No actor or son of an
actor can compete at the public eN-
amina ations for the literary degree
which is the doorway 10 public office,
and consequently the actors profess
sion when once adopted, is vital TO
those who follow it, says the Brook
lyn Eagle. Once an English doctor
was called to attend a young actor
whose leg was i'll bad condition
from careless treatment. The foot
mad been cut off as the result Of IN
injury caused by a fall on the stage.
Filth and negligence had done the
rest and there was very little chance
of the mans recovery, still the doe
tor felt that he should take that
chance and therefore took off the
mans leo. To the surprise of the
doctor his leg healed al once. and in
a few weeks the actor was again
ready TO 90 on the stage. The doc
tor fitted him with an artificial leg.
and his good fortune began. He aJ
once undertook part where his leg
was knocked of to the horror of the
audience. After the apparent accI-
dent he was carried off the stage.
but soon reappeared, walking as Well
as before. The Chinese know very
little about artificial legs and each
time the dramatic incident occurred,
they regarded il as "a miracle.
