What. Vanderbilt Might Do with fill
Money.
8omo one has mad® a very enriou*
calculation of what Mr. Vanderbilt could
do with his money. William li. Van¬
derbilt's income from his investment® in
$$1,000,000 4-per-eent. (tovenuneni
bonds te repr««*nted at $5,000 daily,
minute, which ia $2*18.25 5 per hour, second. $3,47 pi-r
or over cents tier As¬
suming he that possibly ho is spend paid by the second,
cannot his money, as
he could not select ms purchase* and lay
down the prices fast enough. He could
not throw it- away; to pick up, cast, re¬
cover. him pick up and eaat again would take
two seconds, and, if he worked Ml
through the twauty-four hours without
rest, he could not dispose of one-half Ins
•nconic. By living he economically, saving
up for four years, could, placing hie
foewat pieces auto by side, make a nickel
belt around the earth, or by ccmvcrting
hi» «»visgB into 1-erast phx«* and mount¬
ing ilwau ta a pile, he would, in twenty
years, erect- »toad to the moon and have
$500 to invert when he got there.
Should his amusement take a charitable
twist, he could, out of a ytw’R veceinfo,
donate to every man, woman and cliiM
m the Crated State* 20 cents and have
money left over. Other vast possibiH
tec* occur to the glowing fauev of the
ealflttlaior. Ia one d.reu,i«, day he could go to
8,000 different «t 10,000
pints lemonade, of peanuts, drink 5,000 glasses of
a,nd have money left to get
his boot* blacked. He cun afford U

Who was Rluebeardi
A gentleman who saw the gray, forbid¬
ding castle of Bluebeard rising above the
sationof Champtoo®, France, tells who
tiie frightful hero of the imrsery
Soane reader may ask, “ Who was this
real, historical Bluet**«r<l?”
I answer that in Brittany he was tho
Sieur Gilies de Retz, a great feudal lord,
wIm) |x«sessed va«t estates and great
power in this neighborhood in the latter
part of the fourteenth and beginning of
the fifteenth centuries, and was, besides,
ft marshal of France.
This castle was his stronghold, and he
ruled it and the Loire country around
with a hand of iron and a swcenl of fire.
Gifted in youth with physical strength
and ho impaired beauty, and both au enormous fortune,
dulgences. by all sorts of in¬
Wien too late, with a defiled nnd
bloated body, he found himself lashed
by the scorpion whip that is always sure
to follow sin.
Instead of growing penitent, he only
became more bloody and relentless.
Seduced by a wicked and cunning
alchemist to txdleve that by bathing fas
human blood hefaoold olftim back his
vanished health, beauty, and spirits, he
entrapped both children ami young persouK of
sexes, murdered them m the dun
geoim of the castle with hi« own hand,
and bathed in their warm blood.
It was believed that more than a hun¬
dred were thus murdered.
After years of impunity the matter be¬
came so notorious and spread so much
fear through the country that the people
rose in a mass against him, made him a
prisoner, and carried lam to Nantes.
There he was tried by his suzerain
lord, the Duke of Brittany, and con¬
demned to be burnt alive at the stake, a
judgment earned into execution in 1440
oil what is now the Chaussee de fa Alado
foine, on the Gloriette Island, iu front of
where the groat hospital now stands.
