Made Vanderbilt Pay Price.

George II. Vanderbilt has just add
ed to his estate at Asheville, ~ c., a
small tract of land for which he paid
the owner, negro named Johua
Moore $3.50. The land would have
been dear at $50. but the negro re-
fused to sell at less price than the
amount he finally received. Moore's
wife was the real engineer OF the deal
with the multimillionaire. The nine
acres which the modern David covet.
ed were decided to her twenty years
ago by Erwin Hardy, a white man in
whose employ she had been for many
years. She had one child-a girl-be'
lore she married Moore, aIl the land
was to go TO her children. This daugh-
ter has just become OF age and she

doubt have sold long ago II he could
have made title. He says he got only
a small portion OF the money, his wife

GENIUS IN CONVICT oAaB.
Many Useful Inventions Are Due to
the Inventiveness Of Criminals.

1t not infrequently happens that
men immured behind iron bars in our
prisons give to the world inventions
whose value 1t would be difficult to
estimate. One OF the most impor-
tant of recent minor inventions Is
credited to the ingenuity Of a convict
in the New Jersey state prison
Charles Filler. II is blind lockstitch
sewing machine which will enable one
operator to do the work of many. The
device was invented by Filler while
he was at work in the clothing shop
of the prison. Outside capital was In

GOOD BEER THROWN AWAY.
WEARY Wiilies" Should Enter .
United Protest.

At Manchester, writes London
correspondent to the Atlanta Consti'
tuition, a brewery has been establish
ed where they make beer OF SUI
perior quality-and then throw every
drop of 1t away. Just as much pains
are taken in making the beer as II
1t were destined like that brewed at
Burton last summer for the table OF
the king himself, but its inevitable
fate is to be poured into the sewers
with a ruthlessness that would de-
light the heart of Mrs. Nation.
The explanation of the rather sur
prising procedure is that the beer
thus sacrificed is the product of a
sort of school of brewing run by the
municipality of Manchester. This
provincial city is progressive place,
and some time ago 1t decided to start
a municipal school of technology, at
which every trade practiced In the
north of England should be taught
practically.
When the school was opened 1t
was found that quite number OF It's
students were anxious to learn the
brewing business, so 1t was decided
to add a model brewery, on small
scale, to the rest of the technical
equipment. When the matter was
referred to the government, however,
the Manchester city fathers were told
that they could not be allowed to
start their miniature brewery unless
they would agree that every particle
Of its output should be destroyed.
And at regular intervals since the
brewery was started an excise in
spector has dropped in to make sure
that there is no mistake about this.
The saddest part of the whole story
Is that experts who have sampled
the beverage made by the municipal
students of brewing say that it is
firstclass.

Revivinq the Curfew.

The people Of Antrim have hailed
with delight the decision Of the town
commissioners to revive the ancient
custom Of ringing the curfew nightly.
At Antrim, as at a great many other
towns in Ulster, the curfew was In
former generations rung regularly;
but the practice, like that associated
with the maypole, has gradually died
out until now the places where it still
fingers are few and far between. The
action of the commissioners is based
on purely sentimental grounds. They
have simply revived an old custom be-
cause the people like to hear the bell
and are willing to pay for the privil-
ege, as is indicated by the fact that a
sum of money to pay all expenses has
been handed over to the vestry of the
parish church.

(The Voice had shown me my duty
And light shone on the way.)
And these. the words of the promise,
That my constant guide shall be:
I'm live my life for the living,

The dead since the earth was created.
Lived they not for you and me?

Diseases Known by Numbers.

In the larger city hospitals the
young doctors ON the house staff and
the visiting physicians never use the
nine or ten syllable words that they
employ in making q report of q clinic
for a medical journal or at a meeting
Of the County Medical society. They
refer to diphtheria as a case Of dip"
in some hospitals. and other CON-
plants, such as typhoid fever or pneu.
monia, are abbreviated In the same
way. SO that the physicians and nurses
understand them, even II relatives who
visit the patients do not. But In most
OF the hospitals numbers are substi.
tuted for names. The visiting physi.
clan is told that a patient is suffering
from a case of No. l, No. 2, or No.
3, meaning thereby smallpox, typhoid
fever, or diphtheria, respectively. As
such they go down on the hospital
books.

THE FAMOUS MARoUAND RUG.
Thirty-eight Thousand Dollars Paid
for Remark able Fabric.

Thirty-eight thousand dollars was
the price paid for a Persian rug at
the auction sale in New York of the
art collections Of the late Henry g.
Maryland. The rug was woven In
the fifteenth century as a gift from
the Pasha of Persia to the Sultan OF
Turkey. for the record held by Mr.
Marquand showed that It had been
found among the effects of the Sui
tan Abdul Aziz after his death.
Aside from the marvellous color and
texture, which is over FIVE hundred
knots to the sc",re inch, the feature
of the rug Is that the inscriptions
throughout It's border, as well as ara
besques in the medallions of the
design, are woven In silver thread.
1t is a companion piece for the
famous carpet owned by the Prince
Alexis Lobanow Rostowsky, which
was shown in the Vienna Museums
exhibition in 1889. The Rostowsky
rug was supposed to be without a
parallel in the world, but this carpet,
the most highly valued among the
textile treasures Of Mr.. MarQuand,
contains positive internal evidence
that 1t was made upon the same
looms and in TIC same perioI, and
doubtless for the same purpose as
that Of Prince Lobanow, which also
passed into the possession Of Its
present owner directly from the SER
aglio in Constantinople. So far as
can be ascertained this carpet is the
highest class oriental fabric now in
existence in this country.
