MAN OF STRANGE CHARACTER.
First Duke of Marlborough We'll Called
 Human Enigma.

Herbert Paul, in his book on Queen Anne of England, paints a new pic ture of the great duke of Marlbor- ough.
 He was not truthful. He was not straightforward. He was not honest In his love of money and his capacity for hoarding 1t he rivaled those wretched misers who have done no more than contemplate their gains. And yet, such are the strange freaks in which nature indulges, this mean and selfish intreaguer was endowed with perfect courage. with an irresist- ible charm of manner, with a temper which even his wife failed to dis. turb, with a brain that no sophistry could obscure, and with military ge- nius before which criticism is humbly silent.
 He was treacherous even in a treacherous age. Wholly devoid of cruelty, and by nature humane. he is said never to have sacrificed an un- necessary life. He used his fellow creatures for his own purposes, and when be had no further use for them he forgot their existence. He made his plans and carried them out with the absolute efficiency of sheer intel ligence and the serene implacability of impersonal fate.

GAS AND ITS CENTENARY.
IIIuminant Was First Looked Upon
 with Much Alarm.

Gas. as a practical illuminant. pass ed its century mark on January 2S. On that day in 1907 there was in Lon- don "a new and singular spectacle" according to the account of visitor, "the whole range of Pail Mall, from St. James to Cockspur street, was lighted up by means of lamps fed with gas instead of cotton and oil, and cer- tainly in a style of much superior brilliancy. This was the first instance of street lighting by coal gas in Lon- don. or in any other city. The merit of the enterprise is due to Winsor, German company-promoting expert who was especially interested in the question of economic fuel. His pamph. lets, however, contained. so much ex. 'travagant fanaticism and quackery that they retarded rather than fur thered his schemes, which met with an extraordinary amount of opposi- ton. even from enlightened people.
 Sir Walter Scott wrote that there was a madman proposing to light Lon- don with smoke. Awful consequences were predicted. The gas would poi son the air and blow up the inhabit- ants; it was explosive, dangerous, of fensive and manageable: the pipes conveying it would be hot and apt to produce conhagrations. The lamplight- CTS to man opposed the new mode of street lighting, and 1t is curious to mo- tice the great hesitation as to Its pos sibility expressed in contemporary scientific and popular literature.
 When a chartered company was at length formed in 1s1O. the sharehold- CTS were pitied as idiots; and David Pollock, for 30 years its governor. re ceived some extraordinary answers In Goggerel rhyme from otherwise sober and staid individuals whom he had asked to take shares.

SAVED FROM PNEUMONIA.

Arthur J. Smith. the business man. ager of the Newtown, Conn. Bee. and one of the firm of Smith Bros, pub- fishers of that paper, writes under date of February 26:
 To the Editor of the Democrat:
 ''Linonine cured me of the worst cold I ever suffered with, and saved me from pneumonia. The membranes of my throat and lungs were so swollen and infiamed that breathing was painful and difficult. Linonine eased me from the first dose. and by the time I had taken one bottle my cold vanished. Linonine is certainly the real thing in relieving humanity of colds and I am glad to add my testimony to that of the thousands of others who have found it to be by far the best remedy of all"

CHINESE WOMEN TO STUDY.
Granddaughter of Lii Hung Chang
 Among Those at Wells College.

Granddaughter of Lii Hung Chang
 Among Those at Wells College.
 During the visit of the Chinese lm- perial commission to the United States last spring the commissioners made special study of the institu- tions of advanced learning in this country, and by particular direction of the empress of colleges for women. Wells college was one of those that entertained the commission.
 Three young Chinese women have this year been sent to Wells to be come acquainted with the college life of American women and to pursue the study of English language and literature. as we'll as other branches. The following letter received from $. c. Thomas Sze explains the intcn- ton of the authorities in China who have sent them, and the connection of these young women with families of men in high offices in China, who are seeking to secure for their, coun- try some of the best of the; ciyiliza- ton of the west: ..F
 towing to the fact that the cOnI- missioners who were in this country On a special mission last year were so much pleased with their visit to the different institutions devoted purely to the education of women. Chinese young ladies from the best families have been sent to this cOun- try to enter these institutions.
 This being the firsf experiment directed by high authorities in China it is watched with much interest. and the future education of Chinese wo- men abroad depends largely on the success of those who have come re- gently.
 Despite the fact that the broad Pacific has been shortened by the modern improvement facilitating trav- cling. the customs prevailing on the other side of the ocean differ greatly from those in this country. For in- stance. in the far eastern countries young people marry much earlier than they do in this land and hmi- dreds of other things differ as widely as do the hours of the suns rising and setting on the opposite sides of this vast ocean,
 ''I have intimated that only young women of the best families will be sent here, and I believe this practice will be continuous one. The young ladies who have recently come to this country tO further their education are from the first families of China. Mrs Bien was Miss Ii before she was married. and is one of the grand- daughters of Earl Ii Hung Chang. who visited this country in 1S96. Miss Chang's father was governor of the province of Anhui and died while in office. The grandfather of Mrs Sze is now one of the prime ministers in the capitol of the celectial empire, and is connected with all the import ant movements in Pekin.
 .'The three young ladies. through the kindness of Dr George NJ. Ward, president of Wells college. Aurora. x. Y.. are now attending that insti- tuition and are well pleased with the courtesy and hospitality extended them by the faculty and their fair western sisters. They expect to re- main here for a number of years and their country expects great things of them when they return"

An OId-Time Playful Prisoner,

The centenary has been noted re- gently in London of what the Annual Register called "a most unparalleled atrocity." It was only the theft of a pocket handkerchief from a pocket: but the circumstances of the deed ex- plain the vehemence of this denuncia- ton. Four men were on their trial for assaulting a man in his house at Ponder's End. putting him in fear and stealing from him: and one of them relieved the tedium of the trial, which lasted eight hours, by picking the pocket of one of the turnkeys as he stood in the dock. An official had the presence of mind to order the restora- ton of the handkerchief, and the pris- oner obeyed. with the most careless indifference" but the court. we read, were korror-struck." Justice, how ever, pulled itself together sufficiently to sentence all four men to death.
