REJECTS PROPOSAL OF
EQUITABLE OFFICERS
Insisted They Make Full
Restitution.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-(SpeciaD D.
James Hazen Hyde and other mem
bers of the old directorate of the
Equitable Life Assurance Society
have offered to turn back more than
$1,000,000 into the treasury OF that
institution 1t is understood that the
that amount which Mr.. Hyde alone
offers to restore is nearly $1,000,000.
Apparently, the motive behind the
offer of Mr.. Hyde and the other di
rectors is to get the attorney general
to discontinue the suit which was
begun on behalf of the State against
the entire board of the Equitable two
years ago. Samuel Untermyer, Mr..
Hyde's counsel, wrote to Attorney
General Jackson some time ago,
setting forth the settlement which
Mr. Hyde and other directors had
proposed to the society's present
board of directors.
Mr. Jackson referred the cOmpro-
mise offer to Deputy Attorney Gen
eral Donnelly, who reported adverse
~ to it's acceptance on the ground,
primarily, that it did not cover all
the matters referred to in the com
plant as basis for the alleged losses
suffered by the society under the old
administration
Of the general question of syndi-
cate profits derived at the expense
of the society, Mr. Donelly says in
his report to the Attorney General:
II am of the opinion that any pro-
position for settlement short of abso-
lutte restitution of every dollar of
profit realized by the defendants in
their manipulation of the funds of the
Equitable Life Assurance Society
should be rejected What the amount
and value of the money and property
alleged to have been misappropriat-
ed by the defendant is cannot be
ascertained without an accounting:
For instance, whether the amount of
profits realized by James H. Hyde
arising out of the socalled syndicate
transactions is $62, 1881, or a much
greater sum is something of which
the Attorney General can have no
knowledge without such accounting.

Frederick S. Newell and one of the

woman with wonderful business ca
pacity and leaves an estate valued at

tons in which the Balm estate held
stock. Mrs. Newell was noted for her
gifts to Kenosha institutions.

Won Both Fee and Girl.

n young lawyer in a western city
was asked by a business man against
whom a So 600 claim was about to be
pressed to incorporate his business so
as to render him Judgment proof. 1t
was his first chance for Il fat fee. and
he did the job with immense success.
"They couldn't find cent? jubilantly
exclaimed the client after the usual
supplementary examination. Pocket
ing his fee, the attorney fastened to a
summer resort to press his suit for the
hand of a fair maiden. Only the pa
ternal consent was lacking, SO he de-
termined to make himself particularly
agreeable to the father. One evening
as they were putting their after dinner
cigars the father suddenly asked if the
lawyer knew Mr.. -. Most assur-
edly the sutton did
swell, that old rascal owes me $685.

ney. He told the whole story-and

Orchestra Tuning Explained.

Doubtless many theater goers have
wondered why it is a practice Of or
chestra musicians to make their ap-
pearance SO far ahead of the time Of
beginning the performance and sit in
their seats with nothing to do. Then,
at seeming given signal, all hands
begin to tune up" torturing the ears
Of the early arrivals with series of
squeaks and scrapes. The mystery
was explained by an orchestra leader
the other day ''The instruments have
to be in accord with the temperature
Of the house." said he ''There may be
several degrees difference between the
temperature of the music room below
stage and the house itself If we tuned
our violins downstairs they would all
be fiat when we take our places in
the orchestra. For that reason we
come upstairs earlier and let our In
struments get the house atmosphere
before the actual tuning begins

Toothpicks.

Toothpicks were in common use in
ancient Rome. Sometimes they were
made Of quilts, but preferably of the
wood of the mastic or lentisk txaa,
whose astringent and aromatic gum is
known to modern dentistry. MartiaPs
epigrams frequently mention the dem
tiscalpium, or toothpick, and recon-
mend the wooden kind above the quill
The toothpick was taken to England
by travellers from Italy and France.
AS Mares says, 1.-THE using Of it in
public was long deemed an affected
mark of gentility." Shakespeare takes
this view when he makes one of the
characters in King John remark:
Now, your traveller
He and his toothpick at my worship's
mess.
And when my knightly stomach is sur
feed
Why, then [ suck my teeth and catechise
My picked man of countries.
The most fantastic use to which the
tOOthpick has ever been put was the
sixteenth and seventeenth century fash
ion of wearing it in the hat as tro-
ply or an ornament.

A Small Horror.

The weasel is one small horror AS
tonishingly strong, apparently fearless
and as perseyering as an ant when
once he has settled to the track of a
rabbit that particular bunny is indeed
in grave peril. The rabbit seems to
know it, too, and the knowledge to
half paralyZe him, for he seldom at
tempts the one saving chance - a
straightaway, long sustained run at
top speed And the end of the patient,
if-wedo-but wait the-h0Ir sort of pur-
suit. IT'S indeed bloody murder. The
fiend within angel garb finally tolls
within deadly distance. There is a
snakelike stroke, most likely aimed at
the big vein near the butt of the rab-
bits ear. Once there, the brute sticks
leechlike to the blood sucking, while
the trembling, wailing rabbit totters
aimlessly about till it's drained body
falls Imply to pay it's tax to mother
earth.-Edwin Sandys in Outing Mag

Hours of SIeeu.

The belief that the hours Of sleep
should be artificially restricted is con-
trary to ordinary good sense. If the
human body does not need sleep for
the upbuilding of it's tissues it will not
call for it. A rule of health which can
not be wrong is to sleep If possible as
long as any inclination for it exists.
The erroneous view on this subject Is
undoubtedly due to the fact that when
the mind and body are thoroughly rest
ed it is often difficult to arouse the
mind from it's comfortable lethargy.
On the other hand. the man who is
under mental strain and sleeps only
five or six hours at night is keen and
alert soon after awakening. But it Is
an unhealthy activity. His nerves are
at high tension. He is on edge, so to
speak. Such strain long continued
results inevitably in a nervous break
down.-Cleveland Leader.

In most Of the houses in Constants

or the so called 'smangal" This CON

burning charcoal. A mangal may be
nothing else than such simple brass
or IRON receptacle or may be quite an
artistic and expensive article OF most
rare and valuable workmanship. The
charcoal Is first thoroughly burned
through. and when 1t no longer emits
any flame or 0dOr the mangal is
brought into the room for purposes of
heating. Sometimes 1t happens that
proper attention is not paid to the
burning charcoal, with not infrequent
fatal results.

Forcs Exerted by the Heart.

The force exerted by the heart equals
12O tons lifted one foot. In other
words, the work of the heart Is equiv
alent to raising its own weight 10000
feet In one hour. A strong man can
raise himself but 1000 feet in an hour
This enormous force, If exerted by the
heart through fixed rigid pipe. would
shoot the blood along with each jerk
at rate Of 200 feet second How
ever, the arteries, being elastic, are
distended by the jerk or beat Of the
heart, and when the heart pauses after
the beat the contraction of the arteries
sends the blood along in steady non
intermittent flow, which averages
about one foot a second.

If the Tree Falls, What of the Ivyi

eii~ &c 0AtSy vvH@L Vi ItiS IVY
We hear a great deal about the mod
ern girl developing mannishness, indie
pendence and losing her femininity. A
great many people are much alarmed
because girls are not trained, as for
merly, in womanly gentleness. 1t is
a beautiful figure of speech to describe
the feminine character as the ivy
which clings to the masculine oak for
support and in return covers and beau
titles it's hideous knots and scars.
But If the oak falls what becomes Of
the ivy?
There is too much Of this ivy clinging
and identifying idea in training girls.
They should be taught that it is just as
necessary to be independent, to be
self supporting, as to be able to cling
and beautify. In. other words, they
ought to be able to stand alone il the
tree falls and not go down with it.
