Seemingly AvarIcIous Action Of Cor
neIius Vanderbilt That Was Due
Wholly to His Careful observ-
ance Of Details.

II think that Cornelius Vanderbilt,
who was named for his grandfather.
the Commodore, Is the most punctil-
iously careful In his observance OF
details of any man ever knew.
said the late Commodore Alfred Van
Sanntvoord, close friend Of the Van
derbilt family, at the time Of Mr.. Van
derbilt's retirement. in 1879. from the
active management of the Vanderbilt
properties. Mr.. Vanderbilt is exact
ing in his personal business relations,
but he axacts no more Of others than
he does Of himself.
"A striking display Of this trait was
made at meeting Of a board Of d.
rectors Of the Delaware & Hudson
Railroad company few years ago.
Mr.. Vanderbilt and / were both mem
bers of this board. We received at
each directors meeting a fee OF ten
dollars. In case. however, a full board
was not present, then those who were
present divided the aggregate amount
of the fee. That Is to say. II the ag'
gregate fee was $50, then II nine mem
bers of the board were present, each
one received ten dollars; but II only
six were present. then each one re

Platform Sarcasm.

Ex-senator Edward o. Wolcott of
Colorado was once sent into a south
ern state to advocate Republicanism.
At n place he was politely informed
that not since 1883 had any Repub-
lican been permitted to finish a speech
there. He was introduced by the
chairmaD's first pointing at the audi
ence and then at the speaker. The
audience was in two parts; the white
below and the colored in the gallery.
For about five minutes Wolcott pro-
crossed all right, but giving away to
his Republicanism, he made a pointed
thrust at the opposing party. Where
upon q body of young mel downstairs
shouted: "Rats!" Wolcett paused a
moment and then, waving his hand at
the gallery, said: Waiter, come down
and take the Chinamen's orders!"

tongue, combs her coat of hair until it
is clean and curly. The horse, more
than any other animal, depends on
his owner to keep his coat in proper
condition, but often he will roll on the
green grass or rub himself against a
tree or fence.
Field mice comb their hair with
their hind legs, and the fur seal in a
similar manner spends as much time
as a woman in making herself look
smart.
Although the elephant appears to be
thick skinned and c%allous, he takes
great care Of his skin. He often
gives himself a shower bath by draw
ing water into his long trunk and
blowing it on the different parts of his
body. After the bath he sometimes
rolls himself in a toilet preparation of
dust to keep off the fiies.-Our Dumb

SUPPLY AND DEMAND IN FUR
Tiger Skins Go Begging In London
Less Siberian Sable Offered on
Market.

At the recent London sales tiger
skins We're neglected, of the 50 skins
offered only three being sold.
Japanese skins met with almost no
favor, marten n fox skins remain
ed unsold and only 1900 mink skins
out Of 1S.4e1 found buyers.
Only $3.50 real and bastard chinchil-
la skins were offered; the supply is
steadily decreasing, the demand was
good, and October, 1910, prices were
realized.
Only 81 Falkland Island seal skins
were offered; they sold readily. Lo-
Dos island fur seal skins, 1887, the
first offered in a little over two years,
brought high prices.
About 10000 sable skins are market.
ed each winter in N~icolaevsk, Siberia,
at s15 to $50 each. The number, how.
ever, is decreasing, but it is difficult
to say whether from the animals be.
ing exterminated or from the failure
OF the hunters to Stay them. The
hunting of sables is entirely by ma,
tives.
During a good season about LOCO
red fox skins at an average of 81 tc
IS each are sold in the same city OF
Siberia. The black fox is scarce,
about ten skins being obtained an
nually, bringing $100 to $3.50 each
Bear skins are plentiful, but owing
to the religion of the natives the heads
and claws are always removed, and
consequently the hides are of little
value, selling at $3.50 to $40 each.

How Words Pile Up,

There are now 400, 600 words in the
languages. Back three centuries
Shakespeare carried about in his head
five times as many words as the die
tionary then contained; today it has a
hundred words for every one which
a good writer will use. The greatest
gains in the number of words re-
corded within the last so years have,
of course, come from a minute raking
over of all accessible English docu-
ments and from special branches Of
human labor, particularly the sci
ences, in which changing conditions

China's Religions.

To the ranging eye the fruits
brought forth by the religions Of China
appear to be numberless temples,
dingy and neglected; countless dusty
idols p%ortraying hideous deities in vic.
lent attitudes expressive of the worst
passions; an army of ignorant priests,
as sceptical rs Roman augurs, en-.
gagged in divining, exercising and fur.
nishing funeral ceremonies for gain,
and a laity, superstitioua and irrev.
erent, given to perfunctory kotowing
and prayer prompted by the most

Russia Likes Fancy Sewing Machines.
Russians demand highly decorated

the appearance of the machines to
their peculiar tastes, such as bright
colors, gaudy decorations, lacquering,
nickeling and engraving, will Ameri-
can manufacturers succeed. While the
solid golden oak tables and drawers of
