FOR THIRTY YEARS UNITED
STATES SENATOR FROM
RHODE ISLAND.

thirty years United States senator
from Rhode Island, Republican
leader whose name was stamped on
tariff and currency legislation of his
party, died of an apoplectic stroke at
his home on Fifth Avenue. aged sew.
enty-four years. When DR.. Thatcher
left Mr.. Aldrich appeared to be recov-
ering from the slight attack of indi-
gestion which put him in bed. Ten
minutes after the physician left Mr..
Aldrich suddenly became unconscious
and died within a few minutes there
after.
Members of his immediate family
were summoned when he became un-
conscious and were at the bedside
when he died. They included Mrs.
Aldrich, his wife; Miss Aldrich and
Mrs. John d. Rockefeller Jr., his
daughters, and Winthrop Aldrich, his
son. John D. Rockefeller Jr. could
not be reached In time for him to

Perfumes at 500 an Ounce.

Genuine altar of roses comes from
the Orient. When perfectly pure it
is of almost fabulous value The Sc
cret of it's preparation is carefully
guarded, and the finest product is
usually sold in quantities not exceed
ing a few drops. Violet is one of the
perfumes that have been so closely
initiated that thoughtless people never
stop to discriminate and buy the manu-
featured for the genuine article. The
recent discovery of a chemical process
by which a perfume can be produced
which cannot, even by experts, be dis
tinguished from true violet extract is
matter of Importance, as this is one
of the most popular of odors. The sub;
stance, however. is worth 500 per
ounce wholesale. Lavender is a home
grown perfume.

EARWIG NEED NOT BE FEARED
People Generally Have Mistaken Idea
About Insect, Says Scientist Who
Ought to Know.

The earwig, one of the most familiar
types of insect life found in garden
and field, has been much maligned.
So says w. Harold s. Cheavin, F. R. NJ.
s., well-known British scientist
A great dislike for the earwig has
existed for centuries because of belief
that it delights to creep into the human
ear and cause death. The name, says
Professor Cheavin, probably helps to
keep alive this idea, which is absurd
to entomologists. He contends that in
seets considerably smaller than the
earwig would have trouble in entering
the human ear, and in nearly every at
tempt would fail. The earwig is a
fourth of an inch long.
That 1t is chiefly responsible for
damage to pet plants is another alb
surd idea about this insect, says Pro-
fessor Cheavin. Research proves that
it is boon, and not pest, feeding
largely on aphides and plant lice, and
preferring dead insects to fruit or
vegetables.

TRAGEDIES CAUSED BY LOVE
Women as Well as Men Have
Been Affected.

Love troubles have been the cause of
many curious actions on the part of
men and women who have suffered dis
appointment in that direction curl
Gus house owned by Doctor Picnic of
London was in class by itself its ex-
terror being ornamented with gilt
statues. 1t was built by the doctor for
his prospective bride who died few
hours before she was to have been
married. In the extensive grounds,
too. masses of carved stone could be
seen. The house, shut off from the
world, was furnished just as it was on
the fatal wedding day. Some of its
windows were boarded, others covered
by common saeking 1t remained a
mystery house until the doctors death
at the age of over ninety, few years
ago.
Women as we'll as men have become
hermits when loves young dream has
come to an untimely end. In the eigh-
teenth century there died a woman
who had not left her room for 80 years,
owing to love disappointment, and
just few years later a similar case
was brought to light. In the second in
stance the lady mad vowed that she
would never see the light of the sun
again" owing to being Tilted in love.
She religiously kept her vow. living in
a darkened room till the end of her
days.
This country has produced martyrs
on the altar of blighted affection. For
more than twenty years an old fellow
shut himself up in a miserable room in
Pittsburgh. At last, when it was de-
efded that he should be arrested on
the ground of insanity, it required the
united strength of four constables to
secure him.
The police, ON searching his house,
were astonished to find thousands of
dollar notes. The crate was filed With
silver dollars the furniture was stuffed
with them, whilst jars and bottles were
filled to the brim with money. So
much wealth was found that a wagon
had to be brought to convey it to the
bank, where it was found to amount
to over $50 600

Got in WronQ In the End

They're so particular about the Eng
lish that is used in one of New York's
big high schools that it IS considered
quite as much of disgrace for a boy
to make use of slang expression in
tie classroom as it is for him to stick
pins in his teachers chair-and get
caught at it. Part of the plan to dis
courage boys in the use of slang is to
have them write essays on their daily
Sation. One boy of fourteen
turned in really well-written essay
which was surprisingly free of gram
matical errors and totally devoid of
slang. At the end, however, he Of
fered this: THE majority of people,
after all, who do use slang, are low
brows and roughnecks."

EXCLAMATION Of Boundary.

Why the northern boundary of Deia-
ware should have been circular in
form is often source of wonderment.
1t came about in this way: After Will
liam Penn had obtained grant of
Pennsylvania he was DESTROYS of own
ing the land on the west bank of the
Delaware to the sea. He procured
from the duke of York. in 1852, a re-
lease of all his titles and claims 10
Newcastle and Il miles around ii. and
to the land between this tract and the
sea. A line that was the arc of a
circle Of 12-mile radius was then run
with Newcastle as a center. When the
three lower counties" on the Della.
ware became a state they retained this
boundary.

PROMINENT TRAITS IN DOGS
In Many Ways They Are Much Like
Human Beings, and in Some
Ways Above Them.

Mrs. E. Y Eltonhead has recently
completed an interesting study of hui
man characteristics in dogs. Among
her findings are these:
Grief is a certain Characteristic,
for many dogs have sought the miss
ing ones and have watched their lives
away on the graves of the ones to
whom their lives were devoted.
"Self-respect is evident to anyone
who has made study of dogs. Frol;c
and play are developed from puppy
hood until real old age stiffens mus
eles and loss of teeth forbids the car
rying of ball or other plaything
"Shrewdness is a trait, for where a
dog has been pet and child enters
into the family you will see at once
the sulkiness and dislike shown BY
the usurped one and sometimes even
a tendency to revenge on one who
caused the change
"One trait that is especially human
is lacking in dogs. They do not pre-
