'The late Francis Murphy" said a
Pittsburg man, was perhaps the
greatest temperance reformer our
country has ever seen. Over 10000, 600
people, thanks to his labors, took the
pledge.
"Mr. Murphy. a plain, sincere man,
hated snobbishness hardly less than
drunkenness. At q dinner here in
Pittsburg I once heard him rebuke,
with little anecdote, snobbish mil
lionaire.
He said there was rich and snob-
Dish English woman living in the
country. Her husband put himself up
for a political place, and in order
to help his campaign along the woman
gave a garden party to which every
voter for miles around was invited.
Among the humble guests was a
very Independent grocer. The grocer
made himself quite at home. No
dukes manner could have been easier
and freer Indeed, the mans total
lack of subServience angered his hos,
tess extremely, so that in the end,
thinking to axe him down a peg she
said to him, significantly:

OF all the appalling waste of wealth
at Newport, there is none more in
applicable to the outside world than
the leaving idle Of enormous establish
ments that cost millions to build, and
millions more to keep UP. Some Of
these palaces have surrounding lawns
and gardens covering as much as ten
acres; but most Of them lie close to-
gether in bewildering succession. In
Europe such magnificent structures
would each own a spacious park of
many hundred acres, The Newport
villa is built, however, not for COM
fort, not in rhyme or reason, but pure
Iy for show. 1t is stage setting,
gorgeous surely, but suggesting Meth
er solidity nor permanency.
One is surrounded by tree-covered
wall, which cost over one hundred
thousand dollars. 1t is empty; the
owner is away in Europe. The white
marble palace, a Vanderbilt residence
is also unoccupied. There's THE
Breakers" also owned by the Wander
bits, the maintenance Of which costs
a half-million dollars a season, says
the Broadway Magazine. And the Ber-
wind villa, the garden Of which cost
hundreds of thousands and yet SO dis
pleased its mistress that she turned it
over to her servants and will not
enter it. is also idle.
You note splendid trees in some Of
the yards. They have been trans
planted, most of them, from many
miles inland. That beautiful tree with
the great trunk and spreading branch.

teams Of horses, with many tons of

But that is a mere item in the sum

Wind.Power Stored un

OF the great drawbacks to the general
usc of windmills is the fact that
when most needed the wind Is at
fault" says the Technical World
Magazine for June. "They may serve
passably VOL for milling and pump
ing purposes ms they do when placed
in localities where there are regular,
brisk wind to depend upon. But for
mechanical work that can only be
carried on during the ordinary eight
to- ton-hour work-day this becomes n
serious Inconvenience. AS wind-pow-
er is available in most places from
five to eight hours. and often twelve
hours In tho twentyfour, Il means Of
storage of power for use ut tho time
and place required would make it pos
sihlc To obtain uniform power dur.
Ing eight or ten hours from the in
termittcnt power of the twcnty-four.
This Is exactly what Il new power
accumulation just brought out is de.
signed to do, and not only to accu-
mulntc Intermittent power for twenty
