There are in the United States bout
tOO children who, upon arriving at the
age of maturity, will come into the poa
session of very large fortunes. Therwill
each have many millions of dollars. In
fact one-sixth of the wealth of thwtJnited
States is supposed to be in the bands of
20 millionaire families, and each child of
each family will some day own the mil'
lions that have been accumulated for it
by its parents and grandparents.
The parents of the children who will
some day own one-sixth of all the wealth
in this country are very careful about
the training and the education of these
fortunate youngsters. They are bring
ing them up as carefully as ever the chil
dren of the royal families of England and
Grermany were brought up. Their teach
ers are selected, from the best in the
world, and they are taught, disciplined
and drilled, in a wonderful way a way
that many children would consider very
hard, strict and tiresome.
These millionaire children must be
well trained, because they will control
many of the railroads of America, tele
graph companies, and gold, silver and
oil mines, besides iron interests an&qther
great industries. i v ""
As a rule they travel a great deal, and
some of them have been over' our whole
country. " 1rr-"
Take the Vanderbilt children for ex
ample. They are constantly on the go.
In the summer they are at Newport.
Later they visit Lenox Then they go to
Europe in a private steam yacht aad re
turn just in time to spend ChristmiVat
home. From February until June they
travel through the west in a private car.
But during all these trips their studies
are uninterrupted. A corps of teachers,
governess and private tutors accompany
them everywhere. Their studies are no
more disturbed by a departure for Mexi
co than a public school child's studierare
disturbed by a hailstorm.
Some time ago Mr. Seward Webb and
his wife and children journeyed to the
World's fair in a special train. They
stopped to visit Mexico, Texas and Cali
fornia first. During all this loner trip
the Webb children and some little cous
ins who accompanied them went on.
with their studies as usual. There was;
a special car just for that purpose. The)
car was called the "Idler," and it was

fine pictures. It had a blue carpetiJftrV
blue chairs, and all its furnishings sug-
gested a daintily appointed schoolroom
rather than a railroad car.
While on such trips the children are
taught geography from observation, and
it is easy to see that they get a fine
knowledge of the country which they
will some day control to a great extent.
When the W. K. Vanderbilt children
are at home they are taught in a school
room which is beautifully decorated with
Mother Goose melodies and nursery
rhymes. There are also simple quota
tions from Shakespeare for the older
children. Nothing is spared to make
the book education complete.
In their daily lives, then goings and
their comings and their play, nearly all
of the little American aristocrats' are
brought up alike. And that is with ex
treme simplicity. They dress with one
half the elegance of other children, and
they eat plainer food. Such children'
these wear" no jewelry at-all. Th

Mrs. Paran Stevens, who is a very richi
woican, says that her daughter, who is
now 'the wealthy Mrs." Arthur Paget of
London and New York, went wild with
delight over a simple little ring given to
her when she was 18. It was her very
first bit of jewelry.
Mrs. Whitney, the wife of ex-Secreta
ry Whitney, used to make it a point to
take her lunch at the children's dinner
hour, and it was then that she took oc
casion to teach her little ones by precept
and example the little elegances of man
ner which mark the well bred person.
Mrs. Flagler, the wife of th6 rich Stand
ard Oil man, goes farther and often
lunches with her children in their school
room and devotes many hours to person
al instructions.
But of course the daily life of rich
children is not all discipline. Though
they do not have candy and jewelry and
rich clothes and rich food, theyhajM
luxuries which other children do not
have. They own beautiful horses and
fine dogs, all of the best breeds. A mil
lionaire boy has his saddle horse and of
ten his tandem team when at his coun
try home, and some of these boys have a
four in hand. When one of these boys
wants a new horse, he buys one or se
lects one from his father's stables. He
has a kennel of dogs, besides rare birds
and other pets. And if he wants to own
a collection of stamps of stones or but
terflies or any other one thing, his father
gives him money to buy the best 'that
can be bought.
when young William Astor (Jhanler,-
who is now exploring the heart of Afri
ca, was spending his summers at Lake
George not many years ago, he was
seized with a fancy for owning boats of
all kinds. He wanted canoes, dnci:
boats, yachts and launches. ,
And he got them all. But the chil
dren of the neighborhood used to say
that "poor Willie Chanler" was never
allowed to buy soda water or candy.
One day the temptation to buycsaidT!
became too strong for the boy million
aire, and he marched boldly into a candy
store with a company of Liake George
boys at his heels.
'Give me 25 cents' worth of candy,"
mid he, "and charge it to William A."

COLONEL PHILLIPS' SPECTACLES.
etexyef Their Ute aa Related hy the Big
Hairy Haa Frea the Pralrtea.
"The way you Chicago people look at
things reminds me of my old mena,
Colonel John Phillips."
The speaker was a large, hairy man,
with a biff slouch bat and a voice evi
dently better adanted to the acoustic
properties of the prairie than the smok
ing room. He appeared to realize this
as he glanced around and saw every man
in the room looking toward him, some
smiling, some scowling.
"Tell us about your friend, the colo
nel;" suggested a real estate agent who
had the hairy giant on the string for a
big cash trade.
"Why." continued the big man with
the prairie voice, "Phillips saw every
thing that belonged to him big and ev
erything belonging to me email
"That's human nature" the agent
was suggesting, but the prairie man in
terrupted with:
"No. 'twan't no human nature. 'Twas
spectacles! He got 'em made in this
town. I believe you people all wear 'em
too." 4
"What peculiar properties did your
friend's spectacles possesei" asKed a cu
rious listener.
"Just as I've said. They made his
property loom up in regular, Chicago
World s fair fashion, but squashed other
people's, stuff worse'n a Zimri Dwiggins
bank"
"How could he do this?"
"Why, the blamed lenses worked on
4m axis and showed things telescope f ash-
iont you know. S pose there was a horse
trade up; he'd let.you look at your own
horse through the ordinary little end of
his glasses, but when you came to look
at his he'd'get at his specks again under
some pretext gust flipping 'em over the
magnifying way and you d see a ma,
nincent animal, it was the same way
with houses, tracts of land, wheatfields,
cnanging money anytning. unce you
looked through his glasses at anything,
you were his victim, for you felt as if
you couldn't live until you'd traded just
as Phillips wanted you to. But he met
his reward. He tried a bluff game on
big Buffalo Jones, of Arizona, to whom
he had by that spectacled jugglery sold
100 jackass rabbits for burrows, uud
looked at big Jones' six gun through the
little end of his glasses, trying to put
him down small, you know. But, alas,
it didn't work!"
"What happened?" asked the agent.
"Big Jones' gun went off repeatedly
just as Colonel Phillips was adjusting
his glasses. It was as well perhaps,"
continued the prairie man, dropping his
voice so low that the bellowing of tugs
gorgeouslyhung'mthbluetaFsandJieardr ..for my friend had qnired
such a habit of trying to talk up to the
magnifying side of these glasses that his
'long enjoyed reputation for veracity
was entirely sp'iled: We buried him at
Big Jones' expense, and to prevent a re
currence of such a tragedy I took pos
session of the spectacles, and'
"Whatever became of them?" asked a
hungry looking man who had gone broke
on a World s fair hotel scheme.

A PERFECT SUMMER.
The Jury Salted the Lawyer.
A Chicago attorney, somewhat noted
for his sham practice, sent his client one
day to watch the case. Word came to
him that his case waB next on the docket,
.and he hurried over to find the opposing
counsel already beginning. In vain he
looked for his client. He was nowhere
,to be Been. In vain he asked for delay,
but the' court told him that tho careless
ness of a client would not allow such a
thing. At last he glanced into the jury
box and saw his client there.
The stupid man had thought he heard
his name called and had marched in
with the rest. The opposing counsel was
so anxious to hurry the case along that
he neglected to examine the jury. See
ing the thing was in his own hands, the
Chicago attorney turned to the court.
"I withdraw all objection," he said. "I
have my client where I want him."

eeme Are Baaked Aateatr the Netahlee ef
Fart Their Work aad Ufa aa era,
' The newspaper women of Franca are
Comparatively few. They are consfcamt
ly aoowed of a total lack of the critical
facmlty and of a want of perception of
the ridiculous. Furthermore, their idea
on ethics and philosophy are said to be
"stale." Nevertheless it is true that
their contributions to magaainea aad pe
riodicals are impatiently awaited and
widely read, after which many of the
masculine writers go into mental con
vuhions and tear their vocabularies in
tatters in trying to prove that these femi
nine effusions were worse than worth
less.
The women who, in spite of this, per
sist in writing do not have sinecures.
Not long ago at a celebrated criminal
trial a woman journalist presented her
self at the court as the judiciary reporter
of a leading morning newspaper in Pans.
The police are said to have been aghast
when Mme. Severine drew forth her pad
and pencil and demanded admission to
the press tables. The guards were some
what taken aback, and, with a deplora
ble lack of French chivalry, wanted to
turn her away. But, by wit or wiles of
some sort, she gained her point and
cleared a pathway for all women report
ers who shall come after her. .
.Mme. Edmond Adam is another wom
an journalist, perhaps the leading one in
Paris. She is a politician, author and
editor. She has been honored by the mu
nicipality of Pans in having her name
given to one of the streets of the capital,
an honor rarely bestowed on a person
during his lifetime. It isn't much of a
street, to be sure, the Rue Juliette Lam
ber but it is young and may grow some
day. Under Napoleon UI Mme. Adam
had a salon in opposition to the imperial
government, and there she reigned. She
was young and handsome then, with soft,
pretty hair and bright blue eyes. She
was an intense republican and a great
friend of Garibaldi. At the close of the
Franco-Prussian war she had no one in
France to particularly oppose, so she se
lected Bismarck. Such phrases as these
have been attributed to her: "Bismarck
and me!" "Bismarck was to have been
overthrown by me I" "At last the czar
condescends to folio winy political views!"
She is a good speaker and can talk on al
most any subject. Her dinners are de
cidedly interesting. One-fourth of her
guests are usually officers of the French
army, another fourth is composed of po
litical men, and the others are artists and
literary people. The dinners are usually
followed by receptions, which are at
tended by cabinet ministers, deputies,
senators, diplomats and journalists.
There are, except on special occasions,
few women.
Mme. Severine is both more valiant
and more sentimental than Mme. Adam.
Severine, as she is familiarly called, is a
well known figure in Paris. She has
been nicknamedMamzelle Gavrocheand
Jenny L'Ouvriere, and although she is
much given to literary floods of tears,
she writes vigorously and well. She has
her own particular conceptions of good
and evil. Severine imbibes her political
views from TheCri du Peuple (The Voice
of the People), and Mme. Adam drinks
of the fountain of La Republique Fran
caiso, founded by Gambetta. Severine's
ambition is to secure the abolition of
capital punishment.
Mme. Yver is a curious figure in the
newspaper world. She frequents the
prefecture of police, aud is remarkable
for her persistent praise of ther police
and the justice thej dispense. "Good,"
in her mind, is represented by the prefect
of police, the detectives and the gen
darmes, but never by tho prisoners.
Gyp is another woman jonrnalist- hut
her name Mine, do iaartel is better
known in connection with novels on Pa
risian high life and as author of a few
comedies. She is a noted contributor,
hxa very h'ght vein, to that lively publi
cation. La Vie Parisieune. Gyp is popu
lar, and, besides being a writer of great
talent, paints with success.
Perhaps the most successful newspa
per women in Paris are those who write
about the thing they know best fash
ions. But men are encroaching some
what upon this territory, and altogether
woman's place in French journalism is
not all that could be desired. New York

Why Is Itt
Why is it that a woman can struggle
until she is red in the face and worn out
both in temper and body by a window in
a railroad train in her vain endeavors to
close or open it when all that a man has
to do is to walk up and go over exactly
the same line of action that she has al
ready exhausted, and down comes the re
fractory window in a jiffy? It is a most
humiliating fact, but a very true one
nevertheless, that not five women out of
a dozen ever succeed in arranging a win
dow to their satisfaction. They pull and
tug until they are- embarrassed, and
finally, in a pleading manner, look around
at some slip of a man, who, without any
nonsense, brings about the desired effect,
while tho woman looks on in silent won
der at his marvelous skill and dexterity.

Birds Enjoy a Shower Bath.
A friend reports a pretty incident.
During the hot, dry weather the birds
about her house were apparently much
in need of bathing places, and the lady
discovered that every day when she
went out to water her flowers a little
bird hovered about as if he wanted
something. Presently ho revealed what
he did want by getting under the sprink
ling of the water pot or beneath the
dripping plants, and fluffing his feathers
in this shower bath just as he would in
a pool, and plainly enjoying it in the
highest degree. He began to watch for
the daily coming of the lady to water
her plants and gave himself up to his
bath with gay abandon. Boston Transcript.

Ancient girdles were in some respects
like the chatelaines not long ago so much
the rage among the ladies, but they dif
fered therefrom in being more useful,
more comprehensive in regard both to
sex and to articles worn, and when com
pletely furnished more costly. It is
partly for this last reason that we find
girdles bequeathed as precious heirlooms
and as valuable presents to keep the
giver's memory green after death. They
were not infrequently of great intrinsic
value. One of King John's girdles was
wrought with gold and adorned with
gems, and that of the widow of Sir
Thomas Hungerford, bequeathed in 1504
to the mother church of Worcester,
was of green color harnessed with silver
and richly jeweled.
Not a few wealthy commoners were
able to afford the luxury of gold embel
lished belts and were not superior to that
pardonable vanity so long as no regula
tion prohibited them. Those who have
studied our social history will not be
surprised to learn that enactments were
passed restraining them. Edward UI
forbade any person under the degree of a
knight from wearing girdles, gilt or sil
ver, unless he should happen to be an es
quire of substance valued at more than
200, when a reasonable embellishment
was tolerated. Henry IV confirmed this
regulation, but it does not seem to havo
been stringently enforced, for Edward IV
was constrained to impose a penalty of
40 pence upon the wives of servants and
laborers who should have the pertinence
to aspire to be as good as their masters'
spouses. Chambers' Journal.

Whatever beast is kept it should have
its own quarters in which it is at home
and free from intrusion and to which it
can retire when it chooses. This home
should be kept clean and sweet by fre
quent changes of bedding and the use of
soap and water. No one has a right to
keep an animal in confinement who finds
it too much trouble to attend to its health
and comfort. It should be regularly fed
on food that is most healthful for it, and
what is quite as essential to its happiness
and consequently to its health, it should
be talked to and noticed as much as any
body.
I am certain many animals and birds
suffer and die in our homes from pure
loneliness and from being regarded by
their human neighbors as creatures of
an altogether different nature. Whereas
the truth is, if one will but cultivate
their acquaintance, he will be astonished
to see how the dullest and most stupid
will wake out of its apparent torpor and
show understanding and character.
I know a family very fond of pets, in
which the creatures show most extraor
dinary individuality. Their cats do
things no cat was ever before known to
do; their parrots and other birds show
what we call human nature in a won
derful degree, and their dogs almost
talk. The reason is plain; the animal or
bird is made one of the family. It is
talked to and petted as well as cared far.
I Its intelligence develops, and the beast
j becomes very like the human being.
