ENGLlsHMEN OF GENIUS.
Some Statistics as to Their Origin
and Length of Life.

Some Statistics as to Their origin
and Length of Life.
Havelock Ellis studies of the origin
and habits of the British men of gen
ius show that most came from bust
ness life, many from good families, /"
SO called, and few from the clerical
profession. OF 103 men of eminence in
ten centuries thirteen were the sons of
carpenters, five of shoemakers, five Of
weavers and four of 1blacksmiths.
Browning's father was clerk, and SO
was Bradlaugh's: Turner's was bar
Der, Carlyle's mason, Huxley's a
schoolmaster, Keats livery stable
man, Knox's peasant, Wolsey's a
grazier and Whitefeld's an innkeeper.
Men Of genius are long lived. Of
those on Mr.. ELS list more died be
tween sixty-fiye and seventy-dve than
in any other period. Those living be-
yond seventy-five numbered 230, those
beyond eighty 1870. and twenty lived
past ninety.
"A genius is not often an only son.
He is more likely to spring from a
large family. Nor is he often the son
Of distinguished father. He is some
times tall man. Twenty-six instances
are cited of great men who were six
footers and over. Among them are
Darwin, Millais, Sir Walter Scott, Ten
nyson, Borrow, Thackeray and Field

DUST PROOF DRAWERS.

sential feature Of the construction is a
wooden or metallic cover for each in
dividual drawer. Three edges of this
cover the sides and the rear. are pro-
vided with downwardly extending
fange adapted to close in the sides and
back end of the drawer. The front
edge terminates under fange form
ing an integral part Of the supporting
framework. This cover is pivoted at
some nearly central point, and as a
drawer is withdrawn beyond this piv-
otal point the cover drops down at the
back and raises correspondingly in the
front, allowing the drawer to be en-
tirely withdrawn without displacing
the cover. The drawers and covers
may be made of wood, metal or any
suitable material.

TWO COMPOSERS.
Rossini Was an Easy Worker, While
Meyerbeer WAS Strenuous.

GAO88A4A ~ al AlA E<A&dy W OEAAGEe w AAAAt
Meyerbeer Was Strenuous.
Giacomo Meyerbeer went at every
thing ferociously. The work of com
posing made him restless, excitable
and caused him many sleepless nights
This condition was always worst in
the spring of the year. He did his best
work when the wind 'howled, the rain
poured down in torrents and humanity
generally sought refuge indoors. Dur
ing such natural upheavals the great
composer was in his element Deluged
with ideas, his fingers charmed from
the piano the rarest and most wonder
full melodies.
Compared to Meyerbeer, Rossini was
an easy worker and always ready with
his pen Some of his most charming
compositions originated under the most
commonplace circumstances. One day
while the composer was still abed en-
PERTAINING few friends the poet To
tala brought him the words to the cele-

ing some sarcastic remarks on the part
of the former, said, 1T took me an
hour to write these verses.
San hour to write such verses?v
cried Rossini "I'll set them to music
In quarter Of an hour"
He asked for pen and paper, and In
ten minutes, while his friends chaffed
the author, the great maestro wrote
that inimitable prayer song in his OPP
era, Moses"

A growing plant should be kept in
the room with a piano, says a piano
tuner. AS long as the plant thrives the
piano will The reason that a piano is
injured by dry, overheated room Is
that all the moisture is taken out Of
the sounding board The board Is
forced into the case so tightly that it
bulges up in the center, and, though
the wood IS supposed to be as dry as
possible when this is done. 1t contains
some moisture and gathers more damp.
When this moisture is dried out the
board iattens and finally cracks.

An Experience In the Monkey Tenn
pie at Benares.
On the occasion of our visit to the
monkey temple at Banares we had
provided ourselves with popcorn and
other goodies which we expected to Of
fer their holinesses. But the monkeys
did not give us chance to do that.
They snatched the dainties from our
hands. and when our supplies were ex-
hausted they amused themselves by
mimicking us.
One of our party, who had bad
cold. used his handkerchief with con.
siderable emphasis. Scarcely had he
replaced his handkerchief In his peck
ct when a monkey seized the protrud-
Ing end. pulled 1t out and gave an ex-
cellent imitation OF the act. Then, Of
course. some of us had kodaks, and
after we had taken several pictures
another personification of impudence
picked up little block Of wood which
lay upon the ground and with 1t took
several snapshots at us.
A third III conducted simian "a vain
female. who deserted her infant for
the purposel grabbed from my shout
ders a red cluddar scarf and In few
flying leaps carried 1t to lofty nina
ret. There she put it on and evidently
"fancied herself" immensely. But she
was not allowed to retain her prize.
In about three minutes at least 40 mon
keys had bit a piece of my precious
chuddar
Then our native guide informed me
that the monkeys were very fond Of
scarfs and that they captured a great

temple while their owners were bath,

ciple that misery loves company" he
seemed to think his item of news
ought TO console me; but although the

we stopped in the temple compound
no longer found them quite so lu-
dicrous Chautauquan.

The Amounts Creditor May Accept
In Different Coins.
Ordinarily when debtor appears be-
fore long time creditor there is no
questioning of the United States coin
in which the debt is to be paid, but
the wide possibilities possessed by an
arbitrary creditor in STIMULATING just
what coins and In what amounts he
will receive payment are enough al
most to discourage borrowing.
You can't force mean creditor to
take more than % cents worth of
niclxels or % cents worth of copper
cents. II you could get as much as
SIS worth of old silver three cent pieces
Of another generation you could unload
IS worth on him, just as be would
have to take $5 worth Of the silver five
cent pieces and So worth of the OF
solete twenty cent pieces, which made
so much trouble in the late seventies.
But you can pay out $40 in silver
dimes and silver quarters and silver
half dollars. The trade dollars, OF
which there are d few still coming
into the trasury Of the United States
for redemption, are worth nothing,
while the standard dollar is an UNI
limited legal tender, as is the old 'dols
lar Of our dads the first Of which
was coined in 1794 and the last in 1873
Coins that virtually have disappear
ed from circulation are gold three and
one dollar pieces. the trade dollar of
silver. the nickel three cent piece, the
copper two cent piece. the copper half
cent and silver three and 1--WE cent
pieces.C Chicago Tribune.

Drawers without Dust.

Many a housewife and museum GU
rator has had good reason to regret
that drawers as rule are neither dust
nor vermin proof. To have your treas
ures, whether they consist of linens,
books or unreplaceable specimens, ru-
ined when they were apparently secure
from anything but fire is disheart-
ening, to say the least. Two Swedish
inventors of Providence, r. l., realizing
the field that exists for a dust and in
sect proof drawer, put their ingenuity
to work and have evolved very sim
pie but effective construction. The es-

When Theodore Parker first visited
Cincinnati, at that time the recognized
leader among western cities, he said
that he had made great discovery
namely, that while the aristocracy Of
Cincinnati was unquestionably found
ed on pork it made great difference
whether man killed pigs for himself
or whether his father had killed them.
The one was held plebeian, the other
patrician. 1t was the difference, Par
ker said, between the stick 'ems and
the stuck 'ems, and his own sympa-
thies, he confessed, were with the
present tense. IT. W. Higginson in

Generally speaking, dark blue, black
and brown are the favorite colors for
summer silks. There is new shade of
brown called the ''paquin cuic" which
is very rich and soft. The old fash
toned pin check is the very smartest
design in silks this season. This check
is preferably in white on a blue, brown
or black ground In the two toned
silks brown and yellow and blue and
green are the leaders. Embroidered
white dots are often introduced into
these silks. F

Cuban cave-Fishas.

An interesting addition has re. gently been made to the Natural History museum, South Kensing- ion, London, by the receipt of specimens of some of the blind cavs-nshes of Cuba The special interest of these Ashes lies in the fact that their alliance is with saltwater forms which exist in the nAighboring ses, and not with fresh.wateR fishes, as is the case with Amblyopsis and its allies of the great cAve ol Kentucky. There can he little doubt that the Cuban caves In which the blind fishes arc found were formerly in communication with the sea, and that the ancestors of these fishes entered tho caves from the adja- cent ocean.

SMALLPOX CASES
 AT WALNUT RIDGE.
Five New Cases Have Developed North of That Town in the
 Past Few Days.

Within the past few days, says the Walnut Ridge Journal, five new cases of smallpox have de- veloped at the ll-Fountain farm north of the city, but they are those of the family where the disease was first discovered.
 Dr. McCabe, who has been treating the first case that was developed, promptly notified the health authorities and steps were at once taken to guard against the further spread of the dis. ease.
 But little fear is entertained by the boardof health that the disease will become epidemic and radical steps will be taken to stamp it out as soon as possi- ble.

The immortelles' are gathered about the beginning of October, and come chiefly from the arid hills in the middle and south of France. They ar, brought to the markets in their natural condition, and the yellow blossoms are dyed green, red and white, and woven into wreaths by special workmen in readiness for All Sainty and All Souls days, when ali good Parisians visit their relatives graves. On these "fetes des mortsn the gates of the ceme- teries are besef with crowds of dealers in immortelle wreafhs, wire cruHBes and bead crowns.
