cost Boni 100000. The Duke could
have given better one in Russia for
one-twentieth the sum. A hunting party
for the King of Portugal cost only $50,
600, for his Majesty is very stout, and
his activity as hunter is limited to
shooting at released trapped birds or
freed deer The luncheon which fol
lowed was responsible for SO large an
expenditure. No extravaganza was too
stupendo.s or too astonishing to be
neglected by Count Boni once he had
conceived the idea for an entertain
ment. His dinner to the King Of Por-
tugal made him famous. According to
various reports it ran the Count about
$4,000 in debt
Another entertainment which was
the talk of "all Paris" was little
dance, Louis XVI. style" This cos
tune ball was very charming, and not
too dear at 100000. A more modest
dance-Louis XIV. style-cost $4,000.
Both of these fetes were appropriate in
the palatial setting which the Castel-
the palace, that of the Countess's room,
was decorated ut an expense of SlGO,-
600, as an evidence of the Counts graf
itude.
When the Countess lawyer de-
nounced Boni as a monumental spend
thrift" he evidently was well inform
ed, for the rapidity with which the
Count showered money-and obliga
tons for more money-has perhaps
never been equalled.
There is far more fiction than truth
In the accounts of the royal spend
thrifts of former ages. For instance,
the statement that Caesars supper bills
for four months were more than five
millions sterling-or almost S2O.OOOOOO
is probably exaggerated Some eN-
planatory notes are needed also with
the anecdote of Antony giving his cook
Il town of $4,000 inhabitants. Next
morning, very likely, Antony rcbuked
him for failing to take a joke. But the
case of the Count de Castelanc is one
of those modern instances which. in
measure. is open TO the inspection of
the world.

almost unbearable and the least exertion

NEW YEARS CALLS.
New Drink TO Replace the Old
Time "AppIe-Jack."


Twenty five years ago the custom Of
making New Years calls was a delight
ful one for all concerned, until some
of the boys got more 'eggnog or apple
jack than they could successfully
carry.
Then the ladies' tried to be charita-
bic and the gentlemen tried to be rs
chivalrous as ever and stand up at the
same time.
II anyone thinks there has not been
considerable Improvement made IN the
last quarter Of a century In the use OF
alcoholic beverages, let him stop to con
slider, among other things, the fact that
the old custom Of New Years calls and
the genteel tipplIng is nearly obso-
letc.
The custom OF calling on ones
friends, however, at the beginning OF
the new year, Is good habit. and an
other good habit TO start ut that time
is the use of well-madc Postum instead
OF coffee or spirits.

Count Bon de Castelane has squan-
dered 100000 in four years. Half
Of the millions were the Gould millions
and the other half belonged to trusting
tradesmen. Notwithstanding the i'll
timed boasting Of Pliny, Seneca and
Juvenal, now principally read by col
lege boys against their will, of the abil-
ity of the royal money spenders in their
time, the Count de Castellane appears
to deserve the palm as the king Of
spendthrifts. Starting out to vie with
Apicius who, upon the statement Of the
ancient writers mentioned, squandered
4,OOO,OOO on riotous living, he has sur
passed Lucullus, who "at one meal de-
voured a whole estate"
Although the late Jay Gould is cred.
tied with having left an estate of $50
100000 in rapidly increasing invest
ments, the dowry Anna Gould brought
to the French nobleman was only So
100000. This was regarded as ample,
considering the fact that it was prac-
tically 100000 more than the Count
was accustomed to enjoy. Under the
French law the husband has full CON
troll over the income of his wife, so
that at stroke Of the pen the poor
Count had millions to spend.
Wisdom does not appear to have
guided any expenditure of which the
Count has been guilty. He put his
wife's whole dowry into a town house
in Paris, modelled after the Little Tria-
non. Then there is a country house
which cost another half million. A
yacht cost 100000 and a yacht cannot
be kept in commission for nothing. nor

other 100000

ing was of a character responsible for
leading him into court as a defendant
in a suit for divorce. Yet it was not at
all equal to the eXtravagant way in
which he provided entertainment for
royal guests. He gave a bear hunt for
the Grand Duke Boris of Russia. This

Keep in Good Health.

There are many thousands of people all
over the world who can attribute their
good health to taking one or two Brand
reth's Pills every night. These pills
cleanse the stomach and bowels, stimulate
the kidneys and liver and purify the blood.
They are the same fine laxative tonic pill
your grandparents used, and being purely
vegetable they are adapted to children and
old people, as well MS to those in the vigor
of manhood and womanhood.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use for
over a century and are for sale every
where, either plain or sugar-coatcd.

bacteria in coal. \ long continued re-

These bacteria attacked vegetable It's

DENSITY OF THE EARTH.
Central Part Is Heavier Than Outer
Crust

The density of the earth as whole
has been estimated. with close agreement
among the several scientists who have
made the determination by different
methods, to be about 51a times as heavy
as an equivalent sphere of water. On
the other hand the average density of
the materials forming the accessible por-
tons of the earth's crust is between
% and 3, so that the mean density of
the whole globe is about twice that of
it's outer part. This indicates that the
central part of the earth is composed of
heavier materials and may even be me-
tallic, which would accord perfectly with
the nebular hypothesis.
