X news Of which has just been re-

its Queerest crank He was the
last survivor of the little sect of naked
-worshipers which he established
on a tropical island He sought 70 re-
generate mankind by starting an Eve

two misguided followers possessed the
courage of their convictions and per-
ished rather than abandon their eX-
pertinent.
Englehardt was no ordinary man. He
was n native of Bavaria, a university
graduate, and an author OF considerable
merit. He might have made something
of d mark In the world il he had not
sickened OF civilization and its ways
1t is said that the failure of woman
to reciprocate his anection was the
cause of it. but this is mere conJee-
ture and due TO the fact that the fair
sex was excluded from his scheme for
restoring mankind to an earthly para
disc He believed that where woman
came the devil was sure TO follow, and
he didn't intend TO run any risk of get
ting into the same sort Of trouble that
Adam did.
1t was his opinion thaI the human
race originated in the sun blessed
tropics" and only there could 1t obtain
a fresh start on the right track. In
1901 he came to New Britain in search
of a suitable place for the establish
ment OF a community which ne fondly
hoped would form the first link in a
chain OF similar settlements that would
eventually grid the earth. he pur-

The Causes Of Failure.

''What is the secret Of most Of the
failures in this world?' l asked the
successful business man.
Lack Of originality and lack of init
ative"
"And originality?'
"Well, our training is somewhat re-
sponsible for that When we are small
we are more or less taught to be copy
CATS and suppose it is good for us to
certain point, but after that-and the
point Is reached very early in life-it is
individuality, and the stronger the bet
ter, which counts. The man who feels
that the world is his apple and that he
is going to cut out pattern Of his own
in the peeling is the man who is going
to succeed, and no one will be able to
do more than trip him temporarily. So
great is the power Of originality that
the knowledge alone that man pos
sesses it even in embryo form will
make others treat him with more con-
sideration. You can't treat free brain
as if 1t were slave any more than you
can treat a free man in the same way.
And what 1 have said about men," he
added, lis equally true of women"

AffOrdinE Consolation.

Mrs. George II. Gilbert, the grand
old woman of the stage" whose re-
cent death brought sorrow to the en-
tire theatrical profession, loved to re-
count her experiences to intimate
friends, and interesting they invariably
proved. One of the most humorous re-
lated to Mrs. Gilberts earlier days,
when she was member Of a company
presenting an intensely emotional
drama. Proof was furnished the fam
lily Of the hero that apparently stamped
him as criminal of an unpleasant
kind. Naturally there was much weep
ing on the stage, accompanied by
wringing Of hands and other accesso-
ries. Upon one occasion the strained
scene was completely spoiled by man
in the gallery (Mrs. Gilbert always
maintained he must have been some
what intoxicated) who yelled: Cheer
up, cheer up. 1t may not be true

Charity begins at home. Let the

one, even for those with money. How
much more so for the poor! Empty
your closets of all superfuities when
you do your spring cleaning. By su-
perfuities l mean things you will not
want right away-every old saucepan,
every bit of lace, of ribbon, even spools
Of silk whose colors you have no fur

"Scuse me, ma'am, but has you any

asked her colored laundress.
LET me see," remarked Mrs. Saveall,
going into the closet with difficulty ow

me, Judy, I'm afraid We'll have to take
larger quarters next year. We haven't
enough closet room. Why, yes; here are
three old suits. This brown one-oh,
but I might want to wear this in the
mountains this summer. With yard
or two of new cloth it would be all
right. No, 1 guess won't give you this
one, Judy. It's too good. Now, this
blue one-oh, well, mustn't part with
that 1t will go with a blue hat that
may buy myself soon. And this old
purple one? Oh, it will be just the thing
for some awfully wet day next winter,
you know, to wear instead Of my real
rainy day suit. No, I'm sorry, Judy,
but there is nothing today. Oh, here;

And the next year Mrs. Saveall added
another hundred to their rental because
they hadn't room in the old house.

How Daniel Webster Escaped.

Daniel Webster had behaved badly
at school, and the teacher called him
to his desk for punishment. On the
way from his seat to the desk Daniel
spit upon his right hand and wiped
it on his trousers leg. When he held
his hand out for punishment the teach
er was so shocked at its dirty condi-
ton that he said, Daniel, If you will
show me a dirtier hand In this whole
schoolroom 1 will not punish you"
Instantly young Webster thrust out
his left hand, which was so much
dirtier the teacher could not restrain a
smile, but he kept his word, and Dan
iel took his seat without punishment.
