MODERN ALADDIN’S CAVES.
The VaultH in Which the Millionaires
Store Stocks, Boiklm, and Jewel*.
The vast fortunes in stocks and bonds
of the millionaires of this city are not
stored in the brown stone dwellings of
the av l ntte. The tl in walls, black
walnut doors, and easily picked locks
of those houses would offer little or
no re-istance .against the violence of
a mob or the ingenuity of a burglar.
The days when skillful cracksmen
could capture large qunntitities of val
uable property in rich men’s homes
have almost passed away. Taught
by experience or admonished by ex
ample, persons with portable valua
bles have been forced to seek places
of storage and security. Within
nearly the last dozen of years there
have sprung up in answer to that de
mand buildings of massive structure
and exceptional strength. aH; that
inventive genius could discover or
money command has been employed
to render these places fire and burglar
proof. There arc many of tljcm scat
tered throughj the city from Wall
street to Harlem, all agreeing in their
main features pf massive strength and
inspiring solidity. These are known
as sale deposit vaults. They usually
occupy the ground floor of some
staunch fire proof structure, and the
mass ot locks, bars, bolts, combina
tionsand burg'ar-resisting contrivances
is really'wonderful.
z\ description of one up town near
the centre of the city'will answer for
the rest. Entering l'to:-.i the street
you pass up to a wail of solid steel
bus, every bar as thick as a man s
wrist, an 1 twelvejor fifteen feet high.
These arc firmly fastened to each otlv
er and into the stone floor, and across
them is placed/a
Two ‘keen eyes sharply survey you
i- from the interstices of the screen. If
their owner is Impressed favoialdy
I there is a clicking of locks, a rattling

gate swings back. N xt you fall into

! When one’s] eyes become nceus

, of vmious sizes. The depositor in
. serfs a thin key of curious make in
■ one of the squares.* He begins to
haul on the square, and it lengthins
8 out into an oblong box nearly three
1 feet long] and] divided into’ compart
ments. These] boxes are movable,
and may be taken out and brought
into a piivate room,’ where in the

Families breaking up housekeeping and
removing or going abroad, are obliged io
store their plate and valuables for safety's
sake. Mr. \V. H. Vanderbilt his an
immense amount of property s’ored in
this way, and frequently goes to tho vault
to cut oft the interest coupons of his
boi.d- with Ins own fingers, or to read the
laity ol his golden hoard in all the seclu
sion that this stone-steel vault can grant
Private papers of immense value lie there
in peilect security. Lawyers use the
little safes as depositories for important
papers, and the key to many a bitter
litigation is locked within those walls.
Many fashionable lauies keep their jewels
there, taking them out for an evening ,
and putting them back the next morning, j
Watchmen guard the vaults, within and
: without, and that all-potent agent, j
electricity, protects them by ingenious :
: systems of bells and alarms. Evensbouid I
1 a mob set out to pillage and destroy the
city u would rage in vain against these
: irondid structures. The companies
generally guarantee the safety of goods
left in their care, and charge only a few
dollars a year for all this bolting, barring
and urieasing vigilance. A small box
costs twenty or thirty dollars, from
that figure the rental of the boxes runs
up into the hundreds, but ail have the
same measure of protection.—A’ew York

Will RICH GIRLS DON'T MARKY.
1
It would seem that there ate many
nice . iris sighing fi r husbands wh. can
not get them, r d lor ouv reason thut
they are rich. This we learn from a
paragrapner in the Cincinnati Com
mercial. And thia is how he gives the
anecdote: ’’No doubt it takes pluck for
a man of modest fortune to ask a rich
woman to marry him, and no doubt rich
women often go unmanied for want of
the asking. The wri er onee asked one
of Boston’s loveliest women, something
past I.er first youth, rich, of excellent
family and an altogetherehaimiiig person:
“Miss I —,wl.y have you never married? ’
“1 am tempted to tell you the truth.’
si.e replied, with a vivid blush, ‘nobody
has ever asked me. I am rich and well
born, and my own mistress. A man
could offer me very little that I have not,
except his love, and 1 fancy most men
don’t appreciate that trifle at its full
value. At least they don’t know-how
should they?—how much a true man’s
I love is to a lone woman.’”
The excitement in England over the
; news from Egypt is intense. People and
’ government alike demand that Gordon :

j ized to do whatever he may think best I
under the circumstances.
THE BOSS BOY OF THE SCHOOL.
Dear Reader, do you remcmb«r the i
boy of your school who did the heavy
falling through the ice and was always
about to break his neck, but managed to
live through it all? Do ou e-s.’l to mind
tbe youth who never allowed anybodyel-e
to fall out of a tree and break his collar
bone when he could attend to it himself?
Every sc -col has to secure the services
of such a boy before it can succeed and
so our school had one. When I cote e>l
the school I saw at a g! nee that ili
boar J had neglected to provide itself win
a boy whose duty it was t> ni-.rl. krl
himself every few days in order t > .it
up interest, so I app ied for the > isirnm
I secured it without any trouble w i
ever. 'The board understood at o- e f
my bearing that I would succeed. And
1 uid not betray the trust they hid
reposed iq me.
Before the first term was over I had
tried to climb t * > trees at onee, and been
canied home on a stretcher; been pulled
out of 'he river with my lungs full ot
water and artificial respiration i .-“rie l
to; been jerked around over the north
'naif of the county by a fractious? horse
whose halter 1 had tied to my leg, and
which is now three inches longer than
the other; together with various other
little early eccentricities which I canriot
at this moment call to mind. My parents
at last got so that along about 2 o’clock
p. m. they would look anxiously out of
the window and say, “Isn't it about time
for the boys to get here with William's
remains? They generally get here before
2 o’clock.”
One day five or six of us were playing
“I spy" aroun 1 our bain. Every body
knows how to play “I spy.” One shuts
li':s eyes and counts 100, for historic",
while the others hide. Then he m-i-t find
the rest and say “I spy” so-sn I 8 > and
touch tho “goal” before they do. Il
any body heats him to the goal the victim
has to “blind” over again.
Wei', 1 knew the ground pretty well,
and could drop twenty feet out of the
burn window and strike on a pile of straw
so as to land near the goal, touch it, an
let the crowd in free without getting
out. I did this several times and got the
blinder, Jumes Bang, pretty mad A ter
a boy has c united five or six hundred,
and worked hard to get in the crowd,
only to j ered and laughed at by the
boys, lie loses his ten per. It was so with
James Cicero Bang. I knew he always
hated me, and yet I went on Finally, in
the filth ballot, I saw a good chance to
slide down and let the crowd in again, ns
1 had done on former occasions. I slip
ped out of the window and down the side
of the barn about two feet, when 1 was
detained unavoidably. There was a
“batten” on the barn that was loose at
the upper end. I think 1 was wearing
my father’s vest on that day, as he was
away from home, and I frequently wore
bis clothes when he was absent. Any
way. tho vest was too largo, and when 1
slid down that board ran tip between the
vest and my person in such away us to
suspend me about eighteen feet from '
tho ground in a prominent but very un
comfortable position.
1 remember it yet Jquite distinctly.
Jas. C. Bang came around where tie com 1
see me. lie said: "I spy Billy Nye un i
touch tho goal bofme him.” No one
seemed to symp.athiz ■ with me in my
great sorrow and isolation. Every little
while James C. Bang would con e around
the corner and any: ' Oh. I see ye. You
needn't think you're out of sight up
ihefe. Can see you real plain Y' ru better
come down and blind. 1 can see .you up
there!”
I tried to unbutton my vest and get
down and lick James, but it was -io u-c.
It was a very trying time. 1 can re
member how I tiied to kick myseii io -e.
but failed Sometimes 1 would sick (lie
barn and sometimes 1 would kick a large
hole in the horizon. Finally 1 was
rescued by a neighbor, who -aid lie didu t
want to sec a g rod barn kicked i to chaii.-
just to save a one-legged boy that wasn’t
worth over six bits.
It affords me great pleasure to add
that while I an looked up to and mad y
loved by every one that dues, not know
me, Jas. C. Bang is tiie brevet president
of a Iractured bunk, taking a lonely >
bridal tour by himself in Europe, ami I

For a prohibition state Maine conies
up with a bad showing. There were
eleven murders committed last year,
live of them being the work of men
furious with liquor, while there was
one criminal prosecution to each thou
sand inhabitants, : ot including pros
ecutions for violations of the liquor
laws or injloccl courts-^ln the little
town of Machms,’ where for thirty
years attempts have been]made to en
force the Maine law, drunkenness still
prevails to such an enormous extent
that one-half of its inhabitants have
united in an appeal, half plea, half
warning to the dram sellers to keep
away from the place, where they are
well-known.

A I-atly’s Opinion.
Mrs. Geo. Gilbert, Bryan, Ohio, writes.
“Dr. S. 14. Hartman & Co., Columbus,
Ohio: I commenced on the fifth bottle of
your Percn x this morning, and should
just as soon think of doing without mv
meals as without my medicine. I
have been doctoring for about four
years, and kept getting worse all the
time and was just giving up in despair
when I rot one of your books, ‘‘ The Ills
of Life.” I v.ns in bed at the time. I
read and re-read your book and felt like
trying your medicine. My folks thought
there w-as no use in trying an vtlung more.
I was too far gone, and might as well
make up my mind to die. 1 told them
PERUN A was the medicine I nced- -d. and
I intended tolry a botile. It proved a suc
cess in breaking the chills, and if it b.a.i
not done one thing more, I v. ukl have
been satisfied. Ent it has done more, an-.!
I feel like another pe son. Evervbodv
that sees me is surprised to see me iookir.g
so well, as tliey all thought 1 was dy::<
with consumption, an 1 nowmv own folks
have as much to r..;y for the PeKUN'a as
I. 1 recommen t i. t > every body I see.
There were two of our ne: ,libers in \es
terday inquirin;; :. ut the Fehuna. 1
gave the o -e my book to rend; told her
to bring it back, ns I priz' d it very high
ly. The other got the name of the Pk-
IIUNA to send to h’s son in Chicago. He
i> a telegraph operator My discaie is
somethin ' similar to Mrs. M io 'ngram’s, !
though nothing compared to being so bad.
There was a lump raised on mv collar
bone, and it w.u a long time before it
looked like opening. 'I t-.e doctor said lie
would have to lance it i.i a fjw d-iivs, but ;
I thought I would attend t:> that mrself. I
so I put a little fly blister on it and it
opened; then 1 put a poultice on n-. t then |
salve, and kept the salve ca ail the ti ne. I
It got so b.'d and spread upon n.y left
shoulder, and one place under mv left
breast. Then there were two places on i
my head, one near tbe temple mid one I
back of my car that was ju-t d eadlul. i
No tongue can tell what J suffered. My
head felt so strange sometimes. I thought j
I was going crazy. Since I have used I
the PEKUN'A (I don't use the salve anv '
more) my sores healed up right away, i
i And oh, what a relief it is to get around |
i without chilling and having to suffer with
: my sores. I feel like letting everybody
' know all about it.”
John Ferguson, Gallitzin, Pa., writes:
Your Perun A is a good medicine, and
we sell lots of it. Will you please send
us some more ‘ Ills of Life,’ with a few
