They Are Carefully Educated and Sye
tematieally Trained.
Although all the members of the Van
derbilt family entertain on a magnificent
scale they never permit their children to
remain np.late at night, are extTemely
carefni in their education, and, in a
word, are fitting them for life as well as
any mother or father could do. It is
one of the roles in all the houses of the
Vanderbilts that the children shall go to
bed early and rise early. The little boys
and girls are up before 7 o'clock in the
morning. Their nurses immediately
take charge of them, see that they are
properly bathed and dressed, and then
they go down to breakfast, which is
served at half-past 7 o'clock.
It is an unpretentious meal, with
plenty of fresh milk, eggs, oatmeal and
a bit of steak or h chop that will add
strength to their physique and color to
their checks. After breakfast there is
an hour of study. There is something
for these little ones to do at all times
during the day. They go through their
studies systematically, nnd then, about
half-past 9, are taken out for a walk.
They are allowed to romp in the streets
and in the parks to thoir hearts’ content.
At 11 o’clock they are brought home,
and a light luncheon of milk and bread
is served, after which there are more
studies—either French, German or draw
ing—and then another breathing spell;
it may be horseback riding, or a drive
out through the park and along the
country road.
Back they all come about 4 o'clock,
and there is another hour of study, and
then they are through for the day. They
are allowed to do just as they please
until tea time, when after their meal
they spend a pleasant hoar or so with
their fathers and mothers and others
who may drop hi to call. Promptly at 8
o’clock they are all in bed to sleep
toundly, and get up the next morning to
jo throngli the same programme. . So it
a not strange that all the children of the
Vanderbilt family are further in ad-
rance of their little friends in the mat-
ler of education. For they study, study,
.tndy all the time. They are all fond of
music nnd most of them can play on the
piano.
The girls afe learning to play on the
harp, and the boys are famous among
their friends as violinists and banjo
players. If you were to see these chil
dren on the street yon would not for a
moment suspect that they were other than
children of parents in ordinary circum
stances. They make no display at elalio-
rate dress. The eldest of Cornelius Van
derbilt's daughters is dressed plainly in
little, pretty, cheap dresses without any
braid or ornamontation. She wears snug
fitting cloth jackets,and the little cap that
sits gracefully on her head could be du
plicated for n'couple of dollars.—Cor. La
dies' Home Journal.
A Condemned Man’s Nerve.
One of the coolest and most deliberate
attempts at suicide recorded is that of
Benjamin Hunter, the murderer of John
Armstrong, in Camden, N. J„ in 1879.
Hunter was confined in the “murderers’
cage” in the county jail nnder charge of
the death watch. He complained of
chilliness one night, and was permitted
to wrap his lower extremities in a
blanket He had previously torn off the
rim of his tin enp with hit teeth, and
had it concealed in his trousers pocket
Talking on commonplace topics to his
guard. Hunter secretly took the jagged
strip of tin from his pocket, and, con
cealing his movements with the blanket,
began cutting into an artery in his left
leg.
The blood spurted out . in jets, and the
flow was concealed by Hunter spreading
the blanket out like a skirt He became
so weak that he was unable to continue
the conversation, and the guard’s sus
picions were aroused. He made an ex
amination. and found that the murderer
was bleeding to death. Physicians were
summoned, a ligature was applied and
Hunter's life was saved. He was after
ward hanged, and it was pretty gener
ally believed that he was dead from
fright and sedatives before the cord
tightened around his neck.—New York
Press.
j Nuisances In Greet Cities.
Not tho least among the various of
fenses that meet the eye. and seldom
with shy palliating incidents, ore the
signs of all kinds that disfigure meet bf
the buildings in the business districts,
A plain signboard, giving the name of
the company or Individual proprietor
and the nature of the business, is unob
jectionable, however large, ir set hp
against the wall, over the entrance or at
the threshlinld. The largest concerns in
the city-have, however, abandoned even
these, and are content to use a small
metal plAte for their names.
But the popular idea in signs seems to
run to as great a display as possible, and
in its indulgence taste and safety are
sacrificed. What can be more hideous
than those great aerial wire structures
that project from the tops of buildings
or are hong across the streets? They are
dangerous, too, as experience has shown.
Then there are those dazzling monstrosi
ties which, in colored glass, call tho at
tention of the passerby to the game of
billiards and other pastimes. Some of
the porticos which project over the
whole sidewalk are utilized for similar
purposes.
Exaggerated hats, bonnets, clocks,
mortal*. saws and other symbols of the
merchandise for sale within the stores
fiannt before the gaze at every tnm.
Most of these are illegal, as the law al
lows bnt three feet nearest the building
for the display of signs and merchandise,
and this is availed in many trades for
the profit it will bring, not only to them
selves, bnt in some cases by compensa
tion from frnit venders or other small
trades not connected with the regular
occupations.—America.
Valuable Sand Lota.
Accident in making what afterward
turn out to be good investments is always
a favorite theme for discussion. An in
stance was cited where a yonng man
went to Tacoma on a flying visit in the
early days of the place, when the prin
cipal part of the town was its name.
He waa there only a few hoars, bnt in
that time was induced to buy several
lots for almost nothing. Those lots
made a fortune for him so suddenly that
he conld hardly realize that it conld he
possible.
Mark Sheldon, the wealthy real estate
owner of San Francisco, made his fort
nne out of a bad debt. He had grown
rich and poor in several ventures, and
when hard pressed once tried to collect
all tho money that was due him. One
debtor was unable to give him a cent,
bnt compromised his debt by handing
over to Mr. Sheldon some sand lots in
what is now Market street. San Fran
cisco. 1 ,
Sand, lots were not very valuable in
those days, and Mr. Sheldon fonnd no
opportunity to dispose of his nntil he
saw that he might make a pretty sum of
them. So ho held on to them, and there
is no more valuable real estate in the
Golden Gate city today than Mark Shel
don's Market street propertr,—New
York Tribune.

If Men's Mnsetes War* Lib. Ann. IV
A gentleman residing on the west side
noticed a very large June bug flying
around his piazza and proceeded to cap
ture it Ho placed the captive nnder a
heavy glass tumbler which rested on a
newspaper* expecting to examine the in
sect a little later in the evening when he
had leisure.
On returning to the table where he had
placed the bug, soma half hour later, he
fonnd that it had moved the tumbler
nearly a foot by placing ita head against
the side of the glass and pnshtng It along.
In order to be certain that the glass bad
been moved by tho captive, he carefully
marked ita position on the newspaper
with a pencil, and of the expiration of
another quarter of an hour fonnd it had
been moved nearly five inches. Aa the
tumbler weighed at least fifty times ai
much as the bug, the ease with which it
waa moved around on the paper was a
source of considerable astonishment.
The June bug was less than an inch in
length, and was restored to liberty in
view of the exhibition it had given of its
strength.
The story is vouched for by several
witnesses,/who were called in to see the
insect as it was pushing the glass along.

tbs Rosetta Stone.
The “Rosetta 8tohe,” a famous Egyp
tian cariosity now in tho British Mu se
em. was discovered in the year 1799 by
M. Boussard, a French explorer, near
Rosetta, a seaport of lower Egypt It is
of black basalt, about forty inches long
and thirty inches wide, with three en
graved inscriptions upon its surface.
The first of these is in Greek, the second
a conglomeration of hieroglyphics, the
third in enchorial writing, n system used
by the Egyptians in recording every day
mattera. After years of- laborious re
search the savants of Europe ascertain
ed that the three inscriptions were three
versions of a decree in honor of Ptolemy
Epiphones by the priests of Egypt, be
cause ho had remitted their taxes. This
wonderful relic dates about two cent
uries before the beginning of the Chris
tian era.—St Louis Republic.
