sung People Who Travel-All. Over the
Civilized World Without Interruption to
Their_ Studies—Plain Food and Few
Sweetmeats For Most of Them.

There are in the United States about
l0 children who, upon arriving at the
e of maturity, will come into the pos-
gssion of very large fortunes. They will
, b have many millions of dollars. In
t one-sixth of the wealth of the United
tates is supposed to be in the hands of
D millionaire families, and each” child of
sch family will some ‘day own the mil-
bns that have been accumulated for it
y its parents and grandparents.

The parents of the children who will
ome day own one-sixth. of all the wealth
a this country are very careful about
be training and the education of these
brtunate youngsters. They are bring-

g them up as carefully as ever the chil-

rs are selected from the best in the
Iorld, and they are taught, disciplined
nd drilled in a wonderful way—a way
bat many children would consider very
ard, strictand tiresome.

These millionaire children must be
rell trained, because they will control
nany of the railroads of America, telc-
graph companies, and gold, silver and
i1 mines, besides iron interests and other
:reat industries.

As a rule they travel a great deal, and
ome of them have been over our whole
ountry. '

Take the Vanderbilt children for ex-
.mple. They are constantly on the .go.
ii the summer they are at Newport.
Later they visit Lenox. Then they go to
.Durope in a private steam yacht and re-
urn just in time to spend Christmas at
lome. From February until June they
rave] through the west in a private car.

But during all these trips their studies
are uninterrupted. A corps of teachers,

overness and private tutors accompany
[hem everywhere. Their studies are no
nore disturbed by a departure for Mexi—
)0 than a public school child’s studies are
listurbed by a hailstorm. .

Some time ago Mr. Seward Webb and
lie Wife and children journeyed to the
World’s fair in a special train. They
ltopped to visit Mexico, Texas and Cali-
brnia first. During all this long trip
lhe Webb children and some little, cous-
-.ns who accompanied them went on
with their studies as usual. There was
i. special car just for that purpose. The
:ar was called the “Idler,” audit was

o'rgeously hung with blue tapestries and
fine pictures. It had aiblue carpet and
blue chairs, and all its furnishings sug-
gested a daintily appointed schoolroom
rather than a railroad car. '

'While on such trips the children. are
taught geography from observation, and
it is easy to see that they get a fine
knowledge of the country which they
will some day control to a great extent.

When the W. K. Vanderbilt children
are at home they are taught in a school-
room which is beautifully decorated with
Mother Goose melodies and nursery
rhymes. There are also simple quota-
tions from Shakespeare for the older
children. Nothing is spared to make
the book education complete.

In' their daily “lives, their goings and

their comings and their play, nearly all
of the little American aristocrats are
brought up alike. And that is with ex-
treme simplicity. They dress with one:
half the elegance of other childre, and
they eat plain’er food. Such chil en as
these wear no jewelry at all. They do
hot know what it is to have gold rings,
bangle bracelets and necklaces. Nor do
they carry watches.
' Mrs. Paran Stevens, who is a very rich
woman, says that her daughter, Why is
now. the wealthy Mrs. Arthur Paget of
London and New York, went wild with
delight over a simple little ring given to
her When she was 18. It was her very
first bit of jewelry.

Mrs. Whitney, the wife of ex-Secreta-
ry Whitney, used to make it a point to
take her lunch at the children’s dinner
hour, and it' was then that she took oc-
casion to teach her little ones by precept
and example the little elegances of man-
ner which mark the well bred person.
Mrs. Flagler, the wife of the rich Stand-
ard Oil man, goes farther and often
lunches with her children in‘ their school-

al instructions.

But of course the daily life of rich
children is not all discipline. Though
they do not have candy and jewelry and
rich clothes and rich food, they have
luxuries which other children do not
have. They own beautiful horses and-
fine dogs, all of thebest breeds. A mil-
lionaire boy has his saddle horse and of-
ten his tandem team when at his coun-
try home, and some of these boys have a
four in hand. When one of these boys
wants a new home, he buys one 0r'se—‘
lects one from his father’s st’ables. He
has a kennel of dogs, besides rare birds
and other pets. And if he wants to own
a collection of stamps or stones or but-
terflies or any other one thing, his father
gives him money to buy the 'best that
can be bought. ‘

When youn'g William Astor Chanler,
who is now exploring the heart of Afri-
an, was spending his summers at Lake
’George not many years ago, he was
seized with a fancy for owning boats of
all 'kinds. He wanted- canoes, duck-
boats, yachts and launches. .

"And he got them all. But the chil.
dren of the neighborhood used )to say
that “poor Willie Chanler” was never
allowed to buy soda water or candy.
One day the temptation to‘ buy candy
.beCame too strong for the boy million-
aire, and'he marched boldly into a candy

‘ store. with a'companyiof Lake George

boys at his heels.
' “Give me25 cents’ worth of candy,”
said he, f‘and charge it to William A.”—
New York Press. '

j A View of the Common Heli-

ne society journal Vogue has as one,
of its cortespondents an'alleged member
of the ‘lFour Hundred,” who writesas
follows: ,“What is the attraction yearly

'at the horse show, which is always

jammed to the doors? The horses? No.
Society in the boxes, and the people
cheerfully pay their money to be able to
gaze at the beings so far removed from
them, constituting an inner circle. It
was this feeling which caused Broadway
to be. choked with a howlingmob on the
day of the, wedding of Miss Bradley-
Martin to the Earl of Craven, and it is
this same impulse which prompts the
crowds in the upper tiers at the opera
and in the orchestra stalls to spend the
time of the intermissions. in gazing
around the house at the fashionables as
if they were waxwork from Mme. Tus-
xsaud‘s orthe Eden Musee and following
them up by aid of the little printed list
on the bill, whereby each box owner is
conveniently numbered and catalogued.
“We stand as royalty does abroad, and
we are prepared for this homage. Those
who cannot see us read of us, but unfortu-
nately frequently through the medium of
writers who commence their observations
in the style of one who a few years ago
started his paragraph in this way, . ‘I
dropped in at Mrs. Astor’s last night,’
and evoked, consequently, the pungent
reflection of Mr. Joseph Howard, J r., a
writer of the people, who evidently knew
his man: ,
“ ‘Dropped in at Mrs. Astor’s! Good
heavens! for what—the ash barrel?’ ”
“’ashington’s Cabin. "
There are few buildings that attract
the admirers of Washington that have

more of interest in them than a decaying

cabin which stands alone in an old pas—

oture field a half mile from Berryville, in
the beautiful Shenandoah valley of Vir-
ginia.

The old cabin was the home of Wash-
ington when he was a surveyor. He
came here direct from the maternal roof
to begin the arduous and at the time
dangerous Work of surveying the lands
of Thomas, Lord Fairfax, who owned
all the northern part of Virginia under
the king’s patent. The work was ardu-
ous because of the physical aspect of the
country, then a dense ”wilderness, and
dangerous because of the character of
the inhabitants, who were principally
Indians or scarcely less wild ' trappers or
squatters upon his lordship’s domain.

Washington had been selected by the
nobleman because of his belief in the
youth’s ability to cope with these ele-
ments early in 1748, just after the com-
pletion of his sixteenth ‘year, his only
companion being George William Fair-
fax, nephew of old Lord Thomas.

Whether these boys erected the build-
ing or found it already in place history
does not state, but well authenticated
tradition says that they built it them-
selves.
kept their instruments there and ‘slept
in the upper room there is ample proof.
-—Washington Post.

Cement-ing the Russian Empire.

The czar of Russia shows undoubted
sagacity in adopting the best physical
means to-hold together his vast empire.
He has pushed the transcaspian military
railway scutheastward until it has al-
mast reached the frontiers of . British In-
dia. and China, - the two powers .most
likely to dispute with him the acquisition
of further dominion in Central Asia.
Having thus assured the safety of the
Russian position in the southeast, he has
undertaken a more stupendous work in
beginning the construction of an un-
broken line of railwayto connect Eu-
ropean Russia with a port on the Pacific
ocean. The whole length of the Asiatic
or main Siberian line is 4,800 miles.

The estimated cost is $200,000,000. The
work, which is now progressing from
both ends to ward the center, is to be
completed in about 10 years. There will
then be a stretch of railway, all located
upon Russian territory, about 6,000 miles
in length. holding European Russia and
Asiatic Russia firmly together with a
continuous band of steel. Until the pro-
posed railway ,running north and South
to connect the two Americas shall have
been built there will be nothing on earth
to rival this great stretch of eastern and
western railway across the Russian em-
pire,—-Omaha Bee.

Folly of Hoarding.

It is really remarkable that so many
people in this country, who have funds
from which they might earn a good rate
of interest, persist in looking up notes in
safe deposit vaults or pack them away in
old stockings. Money will earn today
large returns, with the best of real es-
tate security as first class collateral to
protect the lender, and yet a great many
individuals, waiting for they know not
what, decline to take advantage of what
is an unusual opportunity for making
money. The currency .of a. country is
intended to circulate as evidence of cred-
it. If it does not, it becomes absolutely
useless to everybody. In afamine a com-
munity would be 'no better off if it'locked
up millions of barrels of flour than if it
had none at all. The same is precisely
true of money—Washington News.

Browning to Coleridge. .

Browning loaned Lord Coleridge one
of his works to read, and afterward,
meeting the poet, the lord chief justice
said to him: “WhatI could understand
I heartily admired, and parts ought to
be immortal. But as to much bf it I
really could not tell whether I admired
it or- not, because. for the life of 'meI
could not understand it.” Browning re-
plied, ‘-‘If a reader. of yonfiscalibefun-
derstands 10 per cent of 'What'I write, I
think I‘ ought tobe content.”;San Fran-

. The Pumps of the Egyptian.

A representative piece of mechanism
occurs frequently on the sculptures of
early'Egypt. It has the appearance of
and is generally belieged to be that of a
portable pump. The hydraulic screw is

main reliance seems always to have beer
the Shadoof, seen everywhere along tl
banks of the Nile, an invention so sin.
ple and so well adapted to their need:
that it remains today substantially thi
same as it has through all the centuries
since history began.

The same may be said regarding the
chain pump in China, an invention the
origin of.which antedates the Christian-
era. This simple machine, which seems
never to have been improved upon, is in
such common use that every agricultural
laborer is in possession of one. Where
irrigation is conducted on a larger scale
the chain pump is made proportionately
larger and moved by a very simple tread
wheel, and still larger ones are operated
by yoking a buffalo or other animal to a
suitable driving machine.

The application of steam to raising
water is of uncertain origin. Long be-
fore. the Christian era. certain applica-
tions of fire to vessels containing water,
by which effects were produced calcu-
lated to astonish ignorant worshipers,
were practiced by the priests of Egypt,
Greece and Rome, but their knowledge
seems never to have been turned into
any channel of secular usefulneés.—-En-
gineering Magazine.

We Owe the Eat to Asia.

We owe the hat to Asia, for it Was in
that country that the art of felting wool
was first known, and from the most re"
mote periods the art was carried on by
the orientals. In India, China, Burmah
and Siam hats are made, of straw, of rat-
tan, of bamboo, of pith, of theleaf of
the Tallport palm and of a large variety
of grasses. The Japanese made their
hats of paper. The modern hat can be
traced back to the petasurs worn by the
ancient Romans when on a journey, and
hats with brims were also used by the
earlier Greeks.

It was not until after the Roman con—
quest that the .use of hats beg'an in Eng-
land. A “hatte of biever,” about the
middle of‘the twelfth century, was worn
by one of the nobles of the land. Frais-
sort describes hats and plumes which
were worn at Edward’s court in 1840,
when the Garter order was instituted.
The merchant in Chaucer’s “Canterbury

' Tales” had “on his head a Flaunderish
beaver ha ,” and from that period on-
ward there isfrequent mention of “felt
hattes.”—Washington Star.

No Law Against Removing a Dead Body.|
“Where in the world,” asked the law-
yer who volunteered information with-
out. a retaining fee, “did peeple—espea
cially people in the country—get the idea
that one cannot touch or remove a body
until the coroner has arrived? That is
almosta general belief in the country,
and there never was a .more ridiculous
and absurd piece of nonsense than this.
I have seen a body lie in everybb'dy’s
way because the people thereabout
thought that it was unlawful totouch it.
This foolish tradition amountealihost
to a superstition, and you may besure
no coroner takes the troubleto enlighten
stupid ignorance upon the subject. The
coroner is only too willing-to aggandize
his influence and power, and'tllerefore
rather encourages than discouragesthis
silly 'superstition.”-New York Tribune.

 

Bending the Kneeto Foreigners.

A clever New York woman of assured
social position frankly admitted to a
horrified Frenchmn of rank that noth-
ing of a lower grade than the imperial
or republican head of a. great nation, in
-his representative capacity, could win'
from her a bend of the knee. The
princelets, male and female, were but
everyday folk in her eyes, quite without
social “divinity,” and-to them‘shere-
fused to make obeisance. The ladyjs
distinction is self respecting and truly
American, and as a rule of conduct it
is commended as an antidote for the in-
discriminate courtesy craze—Vogue.

left to be laundried. The next thing
was to find Frank Kimball. Chief

Vollmer returned to South Norwalk‘

and went to work to unravel the rays-
tery of the robbery. He soon ascer-

ing took the 6:10 a. in train for Bridge- .

tained that two girls by that name had '

been employed at the Corset factory
about six years 9.00 and that a brother
named Frank had also been employed
there. He next traced the family to
New York state where it was learned
that some years ago Frank and a com-
panion had held up a farmer and had
been arrested and served a term in jail
for the offense. Still following the
trail the chief ascertained that the fam-
ily had removed from New York state
and were living in Bridgeport. Hav-
ing located the family the Chief com-
municated with the Bridgeport police,
but Frank was unknown to them.
few days after the Chief found a party
who knew Kimball and had seen him
in South Norwalk on the day of the
robberies, and also had his Bridgeport
address. Provided with this the Chief
again visited Bridgeport, and in com-
pany with Detective Cronan of that
city, visit-edthe Post Office pool room
on Bank street, but failed to find their
man. Detective Cronan then took
charge of the Bridgeport end with the
result that Kimball was arrested in the
pool room Wednesday afternoon and
brought to South N orwalk later in the
do by Chief Vollmer and locked up.

en arrested Kimball denied all
knowledge of the burglaries and at-
tempted to draw a revolver on the de-
tective, but was quickly disarmed.
When searched at police headquarters
one of the revolvers stolen from Stur-
tevant’s was found, also a diamond
glass cutter and a canvas bag ev1dently
used as a sand bag. . _

The prisoner confessed to Chief.Voll-
met that he had robbed J. W. Miller’s
machine factory, Bennett &=Husted,
Bodwell, Cuneo and Sturtevant. He
said that he alone robbed Bennett&
Husted, entering .the market at about
nine o’clock by Jumping over E. A.
Woodward’s brick wall and climbing in
over the fan light, securing $92 in cash.
When he robbed Miller’s factory he
was also alone and had applied to Mr.
Miller for work a few hours before
burglarizing the place. When the oth-
er robberies were committed Kimball
says he was accompanied by a young
man called Charley, whom he had met
in the Y. M. C. A. rooms in New York;
that they entered Sturtevant’s about
10.30 o’clock, shortly after_ the store
was locked up; and that his partner
robbed Cuneo’s about 12 o’clock, while
he remained outside and watched officer
Conley, who was patrolling he beat
near the Mahackemo h tel“ They en-
tered Bodwell’s store i ediately after
leaving Sturtevant’s, about 11 o’clock.

Kimball is about 22 years of, age,
good looking and dresses in the height
of fashion. _

When brought before Justice Bar-
rett this morning Kimball pleaded not

guilty to all of the charges and was .

ound over to the Superior Court un-
der $2,000 bonds. . .

When removed to a cell in _the lock-
up Kimball weakened and agreed to
plead guilty to entering Bodwell s and
Bennett &. Husted’s. _ He was again
taken before the Justice and changed
his plea on these two counts to guilty,
but on examination by Attorney Tay-
lor he implicated himself in all of the
burglaries and was found guilty and
bound over under the same amount of
bonds. 2:: ... t... .

Chief Vollmer deserves a great deal
of credit for the able manner in which

be secured the arrest of Kimball, and

theassistance rendered him by officer
Gladstone and the rest of the force is
also highly commendable._

The story of the robberies as told by

Kimball in court this morning clearly

exonerates the South Norwalk police '

from the charge of neglect of duty,
which the people of that city have been
too ready to heap upon them. He
stated that when Sturtevant’s store
was entered it was about 10:30 o’clock
and he was standing in front of Pod-
mOre’s and watched officer Ireland pa-
trolling his beat' ready to give his pal
the signal. When Cuneo’s was entered
'he stood upon the depot platform
watching ofiicer Conley, and when
Bodwell’s was entered he stood watch
while his companion broke in. As the
burglaries were committeed between 9
and 11:30 o’clock the police were all on
their long beats and it was an .easy mat-
ter for the thieves to evade them.
