Cigarette Rinus.

Aristocratic women in London are
wearing gem ring cigarette holders.
It's the very latest wrinkle. The rings
are advertised in British magazines
as made by his majesty's jeweler You
have to be aristocratic or plutocratic
to wear one, because they cost from
$3.50 to $500 apiece.
The rings are gold or platinum, set
with precious stones. You press a
tiny catch on the side and up springs
q dainty metal finger with q circlet at
the end through which you insert your
cigarette and then pun away. The
women wear the rings on their fore
fingers. The holder. according to the
advertisements, prevents nicotine
from coloring the fingers. So far the
rings haven't reached this country,
but American jewellers expect the fad
will soon appear on this side of the
water

HIs Suggestion.

"The majority of people In and
around Wayoverbehind declined to set
their clocks ahead, and are still going
by old time." said Farmer Hornbeak.
1T seems to me that government
commission should be appointed to in
vestigate the matter. Those OF us
who are outraged by the refusal of
those moss-grown procrastinators to
act in harmony with us will feel that
we are going to be avenged, and the
commission will move so slowly that
1t will not be ready to commence to
do anything until after the time has
been changed back again. and then
there will be no cause for action. Ac-
cordingly those nonprogressive but en-
tirely worthy persons will not be dis
turbed. and the rest Of us will have
the happy consciousness Of having
done our whole duty when we shouted
into their affairs.-Kansas City Star.

Darius Cobb, artist. who died recent
ly, and Cyrus Cobb, sculptor, were
twins whose similarity, not only in ex-
ternal features but in the nature and
development Of their talents. is one
Of the most remarkable in scientific
history. At fourteen both were paint
ing views Of the Mississippi river.
At sixteen they were both leading or
chestras. having simultaneously taken
up the study Of music. About the
same time they both wrote poems for
. paper published by the father. the
Rev. Sylvanus Cobb.
When the twins were nineteen years
old they started painting, profession
ally, Cyrus painting the portrait Of
their father and Darius that of their
mother. At twenty they added litho-
graphing 20 their accomplishments.
In the Civil <war they enlisted and
fought side by side. At the close Of
the war came the first diversity In
their activities. Cyrus then devoted
himself to sculpture. designing a num-
Der Of soldiers monuments and his
.t0rie figures. Darius became a his
torical painter. His head Of Christ,
upon which he labored "a years, was
regarded rs his masterpiece.

FREAKS ENTITLED 70 FAME
European Families That Had More
Than Ordinary Claims to
Worries Attention.

There is living at Bilbao, Spain,
family Of seven who between them
possess no fewer than 1874 fingers. One
OF them has % fingers, another p.
while Of the remaining Eve each can
boast q couple Of hands with IL fin
gers apiece.
At Koshilivo. Russia, a very similar
phenomenon exists In the fifty or more
descendants Of a peasant with extra
fingers on his hands, who married at
the beginning Of the last century, all
Of whom are lowered with from one
to five fingers In excess Of the normal
number.
The last surviving member Of what
was perhaps the record family with
regard to weight was, in the person
Of Charles Atkins. a few years back
inferred at Harrow, England. He
weighed 476 pounds. his brothers. who
predeceased him. being NO less than
604 and $50 pounds.
The family record for longevity has
not been beaten since Robert Parr, the
great-grandson of the celebrated
Thomas Parr, died in 1857 at the age
Of one hundred and twenty-four. His
father lived to celebrate his one hun
dred and ninth birthday. his grand
father reached one hundred and thir-
teen. while his greatgrandfather was
162 at the time Of his death.
There is mentioned In the Harieian
htaQallonu Gnnfnk
wife who were the proud parents Of
81 children. 80 Of whom reached their
majority.
Large as this family was, its fame
pales before that Of q Russian, one
Ivan Wassilig. who was the proud fa-
Their Of 81. BY his FIRST wife he had
90 children In the following order:
Four times bankruptcies at a birth,
seven times triplets and 10 times
twins. By his second spouse he had
twice triplets and slx times twins.
Undoubtedly the record for misfor-
tune belongs to q Belgian family
named Adnst. The father, Jean Ad-
net, was drowned; his wife committed
suicide. while Of his two sisters one
was killed by the kick Of a horse and
the other by blow received from a
falling scaffold.
Jean Adnet had six children. four
sons and two daughters. OF these the
latter persisted through the overturn-
ing Of a pleasure boat. One Of the
sons was stabbed In drunken brawl,
another was crushed to death by a
heavy wagon. while the remaining
two. who emigrated to America, were
slain In 1891 while fighting for Bal
maceda against congressists.-Stray

Plundering Burlington.

from trenton 13n16S.
A few days ago the Times noted that
New Brunswick has just negotiated a

that the bonds were disposed of

the award of q road contract, which
was likely to be held up because there
was but a single bidder, when the
bonds were to be sold without any com.

By the transaction the taxpayers Of

Stunning that the road bonds are as d..

A grand jury is about to investigate
the alleged padding OF pay-rolls in Bur

be requested to charge the same jury I.

ded pay-rolls were mere petty larceny
in comparison with the plundering o.
the people OF more than $31. 900 in q
single deal, which seems to have been

Justice Kalisch has already charged
two grand juries to inquire into roaC

should present q petition asking fo
the appointment of commissioners t,

That will be more satisfactory than 6

How would you ike TO nave SIX

Such was the experience of Sew
enth infantryman on guard not long
ago.
According to the guards own story.
he was In charge Of six prisoners who
were digging hole near the rear OF
the Liberty hall at Andernach. Or
three sides were walls of such height
that 1t would be impossible for the
prisoners to scale them. On the re-
naming side was the guard, bayonet
fixed and ever on the alert for disOr-
ders among his charges.

walls was sure that they had not
passed me. and yet In the fraction of
second they had disappeared from
sight"
Visions of serving the sentences of
the six fugitives flashed through the
mind of the guard. Then he decided
that some action must be taken, and
taken Immediately. He rushed to the
edge Of the hole and peered into its
depths. At first he found no clew to
the mystery. Then In one corner Of
the excavation he saw a few loose
bricks and an opening into what
seemed to be an underground passage
way. With one jump he reached this
opening, and showing his gun and bay
onet ahead of him, he crowded his
way along a narrow brick-lined tun-
mel A few steps along this and he
found himself in large cellar. amply
stocked with ancient vintageS from
the vineyards along the Rhine.
Seated on the wine casks. and EVIL

prisoners, smiling at the discontinue
Of their guardian.
With his charges once more in hand
the mind of the infantryman instant
ly formulated plan. Hurrying the
"willful six" back into the daylight,
he began to brick up the entrance to
the discovery with plan for future
reference.
Just then the officer of the day
came on the scene.
