A Chicago girl who lately fell heir to a
large fortune celebrated the event by join
ing the Thirty Years Marriage club.

will be quit of fortune hunters. When 30
comes l will have had my fill of travel,
and If marry my quiet hearthstone will
be animated by pleasing memories"
Both of these are in doubtful standing
among their fellow members. Their views
seem hardly to embody the club ideal
which is in the main, the doctrine of self
development. Pleasure is not the aim OF
the clear-eyed young women who have
signed the aO-year pledge.
The Real Aim.
Each of us was PUT into the world to
develop our own character. our own abil-
ity. We must follow the path that leads
to that" one of them said. Nor is the
object an entirely selfish one, for each
individual achievement raises the standard
of human excellence"
The speaker was a musician. just re-

The girls who share her nat are enthu-

The last of the three does the housekeep-

IS A FRUGAL CORPSE"
First Thing He Does on Reviving Is
to Extinguish Lights at
His Funeral
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Gable to The Herald.
VIENNA, Feb. 24.-An innkeeper at
Leutschap, Hungary, named Joseph
Schwartz alarmed his family yesterday
by coming suddenly to life after he had
been laid out for burial.
Schwartz found himself lying in an
open coffin surrounded by six lighted
candles and a quantity of flowers. His
children were singing funeral hymns in
the next room.
The first thing Schwartz did after
climbing out of his coffin was to ex-
tinguish the candles, because. as he af-
terward explained. it seemed to him
such a terrible waste. He then entered
the dining room, where his wife and
family were, still wearing his shroud,
and frightened them into Mysteries.
1t afterward transpired that
Schwartz. who suffered from painful
malady, had been given an overdose
of morphia by local doctor. He fell
into a comatose state, and when this
had lasted twenty-four hours his fam
lily concluded that he was dead and
made preparations for the funeral
without calling the doctor again.

LONDON, Feb. 24.-The old fash

fashion. Many are standing empty
and tenants are finding their way to
the newer development of the fat
where the proprietors virtually say:
You breathe and we do the rest"
In the latest flats in the West Cen
trail district the landlord provides an
electrophone, telephone and a con-
slant supply of hot water, so that his
tenant can enjoy his favorite actor or
preacher while he sits by the freside
with his feet in the mustard bath
which his latest chill has enforced upon
him.
The tenant is not even compelled to
choose his entertainment his landlord
does that, and makes the choice with
a view to dispeling "the blues" which
will occur even in the best regulated
flats.
Further west-opposite the station
at High street Kensington--a great
block of buildings is so near compile
tion that it will be ready for fiat dwell
erS in June.
The rents will range from e1OO to
C 260 a year. There will be flats for
bachelors, with two bedrooms and flats
tor the family man with five.
But the novelty of the building will
be the roof garden.
The ground floor consists of shops
These run out to the building line, but
the main building is set back. The
leads over the shops will be planted
with shrubs and on them the flat dwell
ers will be able to enjoy their after
dinner coffee.
Then there are the new and luxur-
iouS flats known as Campden Hill
court. These are 100 feet above sea
level and overlook the private grounds
of the Phillimore estate.

BARMAIDs' VOCATION BAD
London Lancet Is Out With a Leader
Strongly Condemning 1t for
Pernicious Influence
.cial Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, Feb. 24.-The Lancet, the
leading medical journal of the coun-
try, this week pleased the church and
Temperance advocates by coming out
with a leader thoroughly condemning
the vocation Of barmaid. Says the
Lancet:
1.-The vocation of the barmaid is at
tended by the perils from which young
women should as far as possible be
sheltered. Learning to tend bar has
no tendency to render a woman a bet
ter wife or mother; it affords her no
security of employment after reaching
the age of 80; renders her unacceptable
to employers of almost every other
kind; it often permanently Injuries her
health, and 1t exposes her to excep-
tional risks. If that be the case is it
consistent with a due regard to the
national welfare to allow the daugh-
ters of the empire to be offered up as
sacrifices to the Moloch of the drink
traffic, or, as too often happens, to be
employed as decoys for the purpose
of adding to the intemperance by
which the country is at once weakened
and disgraced"

LONDON, Feb. 24--Great interest

John Maginn, once an inmate of the
Mile End workhouse, has found COM
mon deal wood to be be "a valuable
food and medicine, IL cut small and
eaten"
Considering that some of our chief
tonic medicines are derived from
wood" said Or. Forbes Winslow.
there is no reason why wood should
not be used for food. / can quite un-
derstand the nationality of this. 1t is
worth investigating. Everything that
crops up in medicine, every new treat
ment of disease, is looked upon with
suspicion. 1t wants people with COM
mon sense and the courage OF their
convictions to establish something
new.
ut is like the case Of the man who
ate the first oyster. He was regarded
with suspicion-and so was the oyster
Is 1t possible to use wood as food?
Certainly 1t is. My mind Is very open,
and ! believe that everything that Is
brought forward is worthy of investi-
cation.
Monkeys eat wood in the forests
and you can often Sc dogs gnawing It.
Animals eat wood. The stomach of an
animal Is very similar to that of a
human being, and II wood satisfies
them why should it not satisfy u.s.
l see no reason why thin wood chopped
fine should not be useful to us. If 1t
is good for the animal world in the
forests 1t is good for u.s.
The further development of wood as
satisfying food may possibly lead to the
formation of a new sect of fresh-food-
ers-the wood-eaters, or the deal-de-
vourers-and wood, served in various
enticing forms, may soon figure on the
menus of English restaurants. The
possibilities of this development are
considered endless. "Grilled splinters"
and mahogany pie" may become re-
cherche items on the menus of lead-
ing hotels and restaurants.

PARIS, Feb. 24-Tired of single
blessedness, a retired merchant consid-
cred that the time had arrived for him
to marry. He could not make up his
mind as to the kind of wife he should
take. Finally he decided to put the
matter into the hands of a matrimonial
agency. He laid down two conditions
the wife selected for him should be
a blonde; also she must possess
small fortune. In due time q young
woman, 25 years Of age, was presented
to him. She fulfilled the necessary re-
quirements, and the marriage took
place, the couple setting UP at Auber-
villiers.
A few days ago the husband made a
double discovery, which sadly dis
turbed the happiness Of the honey
moon. To his amazement he found his
wife had hair as black as ebony. She
used hair dye.
Secondly, the information was con-
veyed to him that the only relative his
wife had in the world had died and
After these discoveries the retired mer4
chant was no longer interested in his
wife. The couple began to quarrel.
And occasionally the exchange of
words was accompanied by the ex-
change of articles-boots, knives, chairs
and other things.
Yesterday the disappointed husband
brought the situation to climax by
lodging a bullet in his wife's breast.
She is dying. The husband was arr
rested after a desperate struggle, in
which he unsuccessfully tried to end
his life.

LONDON, Feb. 24.-The eccentric life
of the late Horatio Bright, wealthy
retired manufacturer of Sheffield. was

which took place recently.
Before daybreak an ordinary cab

they were driven over the bleak moor
land to the village of Moscar six

in II for hours beside the coffins.
There was no religious ceremony, as
Mr.. Bright, although born a Jew,

NEW TYPEWRITER FOR BLIND
Frenchman Thinks From Experiments
His Machine Best Adapted for
Use Of the SiShtIsss
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Gable to The Herald
FRANKFORT, Feb. 24.-Mr. Dus-
saud, a Frenchman who has rapidly
become known through a number Of
important practical inventions, has in
vented a new typewriter for the blind,
of which it Is expected that it will revo-
lutionize the writing of blind persons
and enable them to write and read in
the same manner and under the same
conditions as those who can see. They
will. in future, also need only a single
alphabet instead of two, as heretofore.
The apparatus is supplied with a row
of keys, and If one, two or three more
of these are pressed down with the fin
gers, the desired letters or the desired
word appears. This new typewriter
with keys is by far the most perfect
instrument which has ever been offered
to the blind for writing. 1t can be rap
idly operated and furnishes regular
writing that the blind can easily read.
Another advantage of special impor-
tance is that the lines cannot RUN into
each other. Tests have been made at
the Ecole Braille for the Blind, at
Paris, which have given the greatest
satisfaction.

Special cable TO TIE Herald.

Special cable TO TIE Herald.
LONDON. Feb. 24.-The American
duchess Of Marlborough since her lat
est visit to sandringnam has been high
in Queen Alexandra's affectionate es-
teem.
The queen recently invited the
duchess, who was Miss Consuelo Van
derbilt of New York, over from Blen-
helm castle to drink tea en- tete-a-tete.
Although the death of the king Of
Denmark, Queen AIexandra's aged
father, was announced on the day set
for the visit, the duchess, receiving no
countermand, duly presented herself
at Windsor castle.
She was ushered into the boudoir,
where the queen had shut herself UP
from everybody since the morning. Her
majesty said most cordially that she
was expecting the duchess, kept her
chatting for an hour, kissed her ON
both cheeks when she was about to go
and said she would make her re-
turn private visit to Blenheim some
spring afternoon.
The duchess, who is passing few
days in Paris, had an agitating expert
ence before leaving. The dukes aunt,
Countess Howe, who has been con-
firmed invalid since she suffered a
paralytic stroke about two years ago,
has recently imagined herself well
enough to take house at Newmarket
and to attend all the race meetings
during the season.
The duchess. to whom the countess
is greatly attached, was summoned to
reason her away from the resolve. The
countess telephoned to her physician
and on his arrival excitedly bade him
to declare the true state of her health.
The doctor emphatically said that
the countess could not possibly endure
the fatigue that fashionables go
through at Newmarket.
Whereupon Countess Howe became
SO excited that in the presence of the
duchess and the doctor, she suffered
paralytic stroke, which caused
her death Friday.
