Vacation days are spending days. The style in gowns is certainly dose to nature. The plug hat Is to be abolished even to English society. Occasionally the mercury volplanes to order to get a fresh start. » One way to keep cool Is to avoid —ding rules about how to do it. It is predicted that the sheath skirt Will disappear with the summer girl. Ton cannot convince a sunburned man that there are spots on the sun. Wait until cool weather comes before you wear tight collars or discuss politics. According to a Boston savant, Americans will eventually be a flatfooted race. It takes a hero to go about in his shirt sleeves, and a martyr to keep his coat on. Bathing suits bought early In the season now call for talcum powder and a shoe born. ♦ It might help some, these days, to go down in the basement and fondle the snow shovel. Once in a while a baseball .writer speaks of a player’s fingers as fingers and not as “digits.” "The black death” is leading to a general crusade throughout the country against the rats. That New York man who left his $250,000 estate to his landlady may have been fond of prunes. * The only effect hot weather has on the small boy is to increase the popularity of the swimmin’ hole. The national fly swatting campaign Is a huge Joke on the flies and a huge effort to stay the hand of disease. A French surgeon recently performed a remarkable operation on himself. Maybe he cut his own hair.* How important it must make the small boy in the bathing suit feel to be told that he has a riparian right! In this brand of weather the amateur gardener clings to his hammock and lets the weeds grow where they will. Two and a half millions of Americans live by writing, including, of ' course, those who write home for money. •• California woman died as a. result of wearing too small a corset. Some women would rather die than be out of form. Just one little favor! When the sun begins to broil again, please say: "Hot. isn’t it!” Instead of: "Hot, ain’t it!" You Can’t induce a self-made man to believe that his son would ever succeed in getting anywhere without a lot of help. There are said to be 10,000 music teachers in New York. We presume that this is in addition to those who teach ragtime. Statistics show that every New Yorker takes some sort of car ride every .day. New Yorkers «• certainly crave excitement. They are fighting the grasshopper pest in California with vacuum cleaners. And, strange to say, there seems to be money in it The man who tries to cross the Atlantic in a dirigible balloon or an aeroplane is pretty sure to succeed in crossing the Styx. A scientist warns us that if women do not behave the race is in danger of decay. Just like a mere man to lay the blame on the women. Somebody asks a western editor how to stop shoes from squeaking. It’s none pf our business, of course, but one way is to take them off. Grand Circuit trotting races are being held this year as usual, notwithstanding the fact that trotting races are hardly ever accompanied by fatalities. Concerning universal criticism of rats who desert a sinking ship, it seems that ordinary justice to the rats will give them credit for knowing 1 when the ship is sinking. - The hammock is one of our most popular institutions these days, especially when there is a girl in it.It is a good thing that the post of weather man is not an elective one, for Just now everybody in the country would vote unanimously for his retireasent to even hotter climes. There is a good deal of Intelligence on the bench, a judge having decided that a man has no right to cross his legs in g car and muddy other people’s >**»«•

OLD HERMIT IS ILL

Last of Schooleys Found Near Death on Farm. Aged Man It Last Member of an Old Family in New Jersey—Has Lived Alone Since Death of Hia Brother. New Lisbon, N. J. —In the tumbleflown farmhouse where Asa Scbooley, an aged farmer and a descendant of one of Burlington county’s oldest families, Jived for years as a hermit amid surroundings that seemed to indicate direct poverty, a commissioner appointed by the court has unearthed a small fortune in old coins, antique plate and chmaware. That considerable money is hidden about the old home is the belief of neighbors, who recall that Schooleyand his brother made a good income from their farm nd to their knowledge for years spent not a cent outside the taxes. Asa Schooley was found nearly dead to a field on his farm recently, when after days of suffering without medical attendance he was dragging himself toward the public highway to seek aid. He is now a ward of the county in the asylurh at New Lisbon, and the county court has ordered that his estate be converted into cash. Since his brother Joseph died many years ago Asa Schooley has been the sole occupant of the homestead farm, about three miles from Burlington, on the Columbus road. The brother was missing for several days before neighbors learned from Asa that he was dead. Then Asa Schooley tried to prevent the men from committing the body to a grave. “I fear the living more than the dead,” he shouted as they lifted the corpse from the bed where Joseph bad died. “He can do me no harm, but others who are living can and will. Following his brother’s death Asa Bchooley shut himself away from the ■world, and some glimpses of how this man, apparently driven mad by,bitterness of mind, existed during intervening years are being uncovered by Attorney Reginald Branch of Burlington, who was appointed by Judge Horner to settle up the estate. From a man of pleasing appearance

TO JAIL TO SHIELD FATHER

Boy Thief Wouldn’t Even Reveal Name to Escape Penalty on Theft Charge. Atlantic City, N. J.—Harry Stein, sixteen years old, of No. 807 Greenwood avenue, Jenkintown, Pa., was before Judge E. A. iligbee in the Juvenile court on the charge of having stolen $7 from William Shayne of No. 1612 Parrish street, Philadelphia. Shayne told how he had befriended the boy here three weeks ago, giving him food and shelter after finding him penniless and half-starved on' the street, only to wake up one morning and find him missing and the money gone The court was inclined toward leniency. “Write to your father, get $7, return it to Shayne, and I’ll let you go on par role,” Judge Hlgbee said. The boy refused to do this or even feveal his father’s name, so the Judge sentenced him to six years in the Jamestown reformatory. The boy took the sentence stoically.

Slain With Wheelbarrow.

Milan, Italy.—A live man was bound to a wheelbarrow with a sailor’s scarf and belt and both were then hurled from the pier head Into the sea at Satona. This new and barbarous form of murder was discovered by a party of bathers who chanced to see ths body and the barrow at the bottom of the sea in twenty feet of water. The police were promptly informed, but so far they have found no 'clew to the identity either of the victim or of his murderers.

DENVER'S DISASTROUS CLOUDBURST

Schooley changed so that the youngsters who saw him come to town oneea year to pay his taxes knew him as “the wild man of Borneo.” The old farmhouse, built In colonial <iays, fell into decay dnder his neglect. Dust that has been years In collecting covers everything. Judging from appearances, Asa Schooley never moved the furnishings following his brother’s death. He apparently slept for years on the same feathered bed. When the ticking wore away, he did not change it for one of nearly a dozen mattresses in good condition found Btored in an upper room. Nor did he change the bed coverings, although mahogany chests and bureaus were found to be packed full of fine bed linens, quilts and spreads. For illumination at night the old man went back to tallow dips, which be made for himself in an antique mold. He is believed by neighbors to have subsisted almost entirely upon honey from his big colony of bees, fruit and what poultry and the few vegetables he could raise on his farm. How he managed to exist through severe winters they cannot understand. The bees alone of the creatures on the farm show signs of care and the hives apparently contain several hundred pounds o£ honey. Thus the old man’s illness was unknown to neighbors until a woman walking along the road heard sobs and groans and found Schooley lying in a field. Schooley is said to have a niece residing In a nearby town and one or two distant relatives, whom attorney* are trying to find.

BEHEADING IS LONG AFFAIR

Victim Is First Fed—Not Until He Voluntarily Bows His Head Does the Axe Fall. Paris. —An execution In Slam Is on extraordinary business, according to a correspondent of the Chronique Medicals. The doomed man, awakened at dawn, is led in chains to the temple, where candles are lit around him. He Is exhorted to think of nothing, to disassociate his mind from mundane affairs and Is given the best meal of h!s life, the menu being carefully

Heredity Shown At School

Deductions From the Study of the Records of Three Generations Published. Berlin. —Do children inherit their mental gifts or shortcomings from parents or grandparents? The question is discussed in an article published in the German Umschau by Dr. W. Peters. With characteristic German thoroughness the author has visited most of the state primary schools in Germany and Austria with the object of gaining information on this point by comparing the school reports of parents and grandparents, where availble, with those of the present day school child. He has complete sets of records of three generations, with the following results: , ~ When botn parents had good to average school records to their credit, 76 per cent, of their offspring produced the same, while the rest, 24 per cent, fell in* various degrees below the average. » When one parent had a good. aAd the other a poor record, 69 per cent of their children furnished good reports and 41 per cent, inferior ebes. When both parents were distinctly below the average, only 38 per cent of their progeny turned out well and 62 per cent badly. The dependence of children on their parents in this respect seems, therefore, to be fairly well proved. Dr. Peters, however, also found that when parents were equal those children whose grandparents were above the

chosen according” - to the social status of the criminal. There are two executioners. One is hidden in some brushwood, while the other, dressed in vivid red, conducts the criminal to the place of sacrifice, toeding be seated on banana leaves, "In order to be entirely separated from earth.” The condemned man is then put Into position, awaiting the axe. Earth is put in his dars. For two hours or more nothing happens,, Siamese law demands that the criminal shall bow hsi bead .voluntarily to the axe. This he does finally from sheer exhaustion, and Immediately beadsman No. 2 rushes from his hiding place and does the rest. The executioners are then sprayed with holy water and otherwise purified from contact with the victim’s soul.

WILD DEER DINES IN GARDEN

Enjoys a Meal of Physician’s Lettuce, Then Dashes Back Into ths Forest. Lenox, Mass.—While on the lawn at Halldon hall, In Stockbridge, Dr. William Gilman Thompson saw a wild deer stalk down the mountainside nearby, enter his garden, nibble at the lettuce for a few moments and make off to the forest again. All last season there were three or four deer about Halldon hall, and several times this month Dr. Thompson’s employes had to drive them off the estate. Dr. Thompson has forbidden any one to shoot the animals, although they have a right to do so under the law of this state. The physician said he wished the deer would keep out of his garden. Halldon hall is about a mile and a half from Stockbridge Center. A part of the estate Is a beautiful mountain forest That two moose, supposed to have escaped from the Harry Payne Whitney game preserve on October mountain, are at large In the wilds of the town of Washington was proved by Fred Schultz, who says he saw them Just west of hfs house.

Dog Keeps Watch for Master.

Philadelphia—Thinking that Oswald Saeber, the young master, was still in tho Northwest General hospital, Gypsy, a French poodle, kept constant vigil outside the institution for four weeks.

average were the best scholars, and vice versa. Generally speaking, the children’s records followed those of the mother more closely than those of the father. Wherever the father, however, possessed distinctly better abilities than the mother the children without exception tended to favor the male parent From this Dr. Peters concludes that the greater intellectual faculties exercise a stronger hereditary influence on the offspring than the lesser ones. A curious point in the statistical tables prepared by Dr. Peters from his material is that for reading and writing the marks gained by children corresponded closely to those of the parents; for arithmetic, less 60; for grammar, again less, and least of all for “Scripture.”

FOR SAFETY TO THE DRIVER

Mirrors Installed on Btreets of English Towns Have Proved of Material Benefit. Mirrors at street corners to provide for the drivers of vehicles a view of the cross streets have been Installed in at least two towns in England. In Folkestone there Is an acute angle street crossing where one corner is built up close to the curb. On thiji corner is placed a 24x24 inch mirror supported on gas pipe standards at such an angle that drivers of vehicles coming toward the built-up corner from either of the two opposite streets can see up the streets at right angles to their path. The engineer in charge states that owing to the Impossibility of motorists seeing any on-coming traffic several accidents and narrow escapes have occurred at that point Since the mirror has been fixed he has not heard of anything approaching an accident. The damp, mist, rain or frost have no ill effect on the mirror, which is occasionally cleaned by a passing lamplighter when cleaning his lamps. At Malmesburg, In Wiltshire, a mirror five by eight feet in size, supported on standards so that its top is 15 feet above the street, occupies an angular position at the apex of a closed right-angle curve. The engineer in charge ?ayß: "The mirror requires scarcely any cleaning; only a wipe over once in about three months.”— ' Engineering News.

What He Bought.

A Syracuse business man living in one of the suburbs decided to give up his spacious back yards to the raising of currants as a profitable side Issue. So, wishing to absorb all the information he could acquire on the subject of the currant industry, he went down town one Saturday after nojp recently and returned with his arms full of hooks. “Well, Teddy*” Inquired his enthusiastic spouse, as' he dumped the volumes on the table, “did you succeed in getting what you wanted?” "Sure, I did!” he replied, proudly pointing to the books. “I bought a whole year’s edition of a standard work on current literature.” —Exchange.

America’s Athletic Missionaries.

Writing under this title in Harper’s Weekly, Edward Bayard Moss describes our athletic triumph at Stockholm In the Olympic games. “Some idea of the caliber of the athletes and the competition can be gained from the fact that thirteen new Olympic and nine world’s records were established during’ the games. The victory of Arnold Jackson of Oxford in the 1,600-meter run was the only feature that redeemed England’s poor display.”
