"CROCKER’S FOLLY.'*
A. K i"h Fence Built tiy a Millionaire to
Spite an Obnoxious Neighbor.
The $30,000 wall around the Hopkins
castle at Great Barrington, Mass., is
not a new idea. About fifteen years
ago Charles Crocker, one of the “big
four” Central Pacific railroad mag¬
nates, made a similar “improvement.”
Crocker built himself a mansion on
the brow of Hob hill, San Francisco.
The palace covered almost an entire
block.
A gentleman whose name is lost to
fame had a modest mansion in a corner
lot of that block. Crocker coveted
that lot, but could not get it at hi« own
price. He was somewhat incensed bo
cause he, a millionaire, was balked in
purchasing what he wanted at his own
price. The people of that vicinity were
i istonished on seeing a board wall being
built between Crocker’s palace and the
gentleman’s modest two-story frame.
The wonder grew with the fence, which
was built to the height of the roof of
the cottage.
This wall totally shuts out the light
from the west, also the sun after mid¬
day. The gentleman appealed to the
courts, alleging that no person had the
right to construct anything, even
though upon his own premises, which
would interfere with the rights and lib¬
erties of another; but the courts held
differently, though it was admitted by
Crocker that the fence was useless, and
he could give no other reason than
spite.
The gentleman removed his laundry
from the back yard to the roof, and
every day the family linen was flaunt¬
ing in the breeze from bis own house¬
top, which somewhat spoiled the view
of the Crocker family as they gazed out
upon the bay and dispelled the ro¬
mance of their evening promenades on
the eastern piazza.
Under the ruling of the court the
gentleman had a right to make an un¬
sightly nuisance of the roof of his
house. But he proposed to do more.
He inscribed upon his banner, “No
compromise,” and refused to sell at
any price. lie was on the eve of rent¬
ing liis house to a Chinese theatrical
company when the proud Crocker or¬
dered his wall to be torn down.
This wall, known as “Crocker’s
Folly,” was one of the objects of curi¬
osity of the city and was on the list to
be shown to tourists. It was visited by
thousands of citizens also.—Chicago
Times.
Importance of Foreign Languages.
On tho practical side foreign tongues
are useful to well nigh all professional
men. There are, in fact, few engineers,
school teachers, electricians, editors,
physicians, newspaper writers and lit¬
erary people generally to whom the
power to read at least two languages
other than English will not be found
of vital importance. The latest stages
of progress in the arts and sciences,
and in literature, are not infrequently
recorded first in the publications of
France and Germany, and the profes¬
sional man who cannot read these at
first hand is at a serious disadvantage.
The new material may come in the
shape of an article on some modern de¬
parture in the practice of Italian peda
gogy, an important paper in physics by
Helmholtz, hints of improved hospital
methods at Berlin, the account of an
engineering feat in Austria, the latest
developments in chemical theory from
the brain of Mendeleef, the newest
form of Weismann’s explanation of he¬
redity, fresh experiments from Pasteur,
a political speech, a government meas¬
ure or a literary essay, and all these
may be needed by specialists, if not for
general purposes, long before they are
likely to attain to reproduction in Eng¬
lish.—Boston Herald.
OI<l Heads and Young Hearts.
“Now, Samuel,” said his doting
mother, “you are going to see one
of the nicest girls tonight you evej
met, and I want you to make a good
impression. Now, the way to do that
is to show appreciation. As some one
says, ‘Be a good listener.’ Now. dvTt
you forget it. ”
“I won’t, mother,” answered the
dutifni Samuel.
At another house, the one to which
Samuel’s feet were tending, a loving
aunt was saying to her visiting niece:
“Now, if Sam comes, don’t you rattle
on as if you hadn’t any brains. Just
you keep quiet and let him do the
talking. He'll like you all the better
for it. ”
And to this day those matchmaking
women can’t understand why those
two young folk despise each ether,—

adventures with Lions.
Geras*!, tits famous French lion
killer, says in his “Adventures” that
teething is an important crisis in the
life of the lion cubs, and that a large
number of the young die during that
period.
When the cubs have finished teeth¬
ing the lioness leaves them for a few
hours each day, and on her return
brings mutton, carefully skinned and
torn in small pieces.
The Arabs, on discovering a litter of
cubs, watch for the departure of the
lioness, and then rob her of the whelps.
They post themselves on a high cliff
or a tree overlooking the lair.
As soon as they see the lioness go
down to the plain, and are sure that
the lion is not near, they creep to the
lair, wrap the cubs in the fold of their
burnoose in order to smother their
cries, and carry them to the edge of the
woods, where men are waiting with
horses.
One day sixty Arabs surrounded the
woods where there was a lair, and by
shouts tried to rouse the lioness. She,
however, remained in her lading place.
Several Arabs then crept into the
thicket and brought out the whelps.
The Arabs, pleased at their success,
were retiring to their tents, thinking
they had nothing more to fear. Sud¬
denly the sheik, who was on horseback
and a little behind his men, saw the
lioness rushing out of the woods di¬
rectly at him.
He called, and his nephew, Meeaond,
and his friend, Ali, ran. to his aid. The
lioness sprang at the young nephew,
who, facing her with his gun at his
shoulder, pulled the trigger when she
came within six or seven feet. The cap
only exploded. The youth threw the
gun away, and presented His left arm
wrapped in his burnoose.
The lion seized the arm and began
crushing the bones. The young man,
without a cry, drew his pistol and fired
in her breast She dropped the arm
and bounded on Ali, who fired a ball
iown her throat as she sprang at him.
He was seized by the shoulder and
thrown down, but the lioness, before
she could injure him greatly, expired
on his prostrate body. The nophew
died the next day.
Ready for Business.
A certain doctor wiio was noted for a
keen eye to business was driving along
the street of a country town when his
horse took fright and ran away. He
was thrown violently out of his trap
and rendered senseless. Presently he
recovered a little from liis unconscious¬
ness, and noticing the crowd which had
gathered about him, asked: “What’s
the matter, gentlemen? Anybody hurt?
I am Dr. B . Can I be of any ser
vice?”—San Francisco Argonaut.
Why Women Don’t Marry.
Mr. Andrew Lang lias written a
charming essay upon the text, “Don't
Marry Literary Men.” The advice
seems wholly unnecessary. Women do
not marry; they are married. Men do
the marrying. The misuse of that
word “marry” is very common, yet we
are surprised to find so careful a writer
as Mr. Lang committing the atrocity.
“Wed” is a much better word than
“marry”—Chicago News.
A Timid Man’s Kxpedlent.
A timid man, living alone in the out
skirts of Hartford, has hit upon a de¬
vice for scaring away burglars. Each
night upon retiring he places a huge
pair of boots outside of every bedroom
door in the house to convey the im¬
pression that every chamber is oecu
pied by an ablebodied man. A bur
glar who happened in would think ho
had struck a hotel.—Philadelphia Led¬
ger.
Lord Sandwich, who was a great
lover of music, and frequently had ora¬
torios performed at Hinchinbrook, was
so enamored of the thunder of the
drum that he had one side of his music
room strained with parchment, which,
upon being suddenly struck, so alarmed
the company as to throw many into
fits.
