Millions That Gladys Vanderbilt Hand
i ed Over to Titled Husband Are
Devoted to Rehabilitating His
Ancestral Home.
! The fortune which the former
♦lladys Vanderbilt took to Hungary as
the bride of Count Szeclienyl Is being
used to build up one of the greatest
pstates in that empire. This fact was
learned from Morris Cukor, an attor
ney, and intimate friend of the count
while the latter was a visitor in New
(York.
Already hundreds of acres of land
have been added by the countess to
the family estate of her husband. Mr.
Cukor stated he had learned that the
real estate was being purchased by
tlie Szechenyis for investment pur
poses. Most of tin* land is best suited
for agriculture.
The count's love for large estates
was made known during bis visit to
New York in 1907. He found fault
with Newport because the estates are
loo close together. He was quoted as
saying: "If Marble house had been
erected in Hungary it would have
been surrounded by acreage ns large
as half the state of Rhode Island, in
stead of being wedged Into a village
street."
k The ancient seat of the Szechenyl
family at Horpacs is surrounded by a
beautiful park of more than eighty
acres, while in the entire domain of
♦ he family estate there is over 20,000
acres. It is one of the finest estates
in Hungary.
i.asue uermezoe, wnere me count
took liis bride immediately after their
marriage, is.situated on a pictuosque
knoll. The grounds about it are
densely wooded. A large slice of the
(Vanderbilt fortune was spent in tit
jting up the old castle with modern
conveniences for the use of the bride.
Air. Cukor does not attach much
importance to the report that the
Countess Szechenyi has begun to in
(vest in sawmills. This announcement
.was made a few days ago in a dis
patch from Budapest. It was stated
that the nobility of Hungary was
’shocked to learn that the countess
had let her American business enter
prise get the better of her judgment
as a member*!*! the aristocracy.
“The sawriiill,” said Attorney Cukor,
probably just happened to be on the
estate that the countess bought. She
i purchased the land and took the saw
mill with it. Many of these big es
tates in Hungary are like old time
plantations in this country. They
(have on them factories to supply peo
ple on the estate with needed articles.
The surplus is sold. I think this will
i>e found to ho the explanation of the
mud) talked of sawmill purchase.”
Methuselah’s Age.
The most astonishing news is every
now and then cabled or sent by spe
cial correspondents from Europe, the
Christian Register says. Some ancient
bit of speculation comes for (he first
time to the notice of an ambitious
(correspondent, and forthwith lie im
jparts liis knowledge to the world. The
llatest from London, as special to a
(Sunday newspaper, relates to an
(ancient speculation that the great age
(of the antediluvians may be account
ed lor by the discovery that the years
(spoken of in Genesis were not solar
(years, imi lunar months. In this way
It he 909 years of Methuselah are re
duced to SO years and nine months.
!Thn enterprising correspondent and
itbe editor of the Sunday paper ap
iplied the rule to the great ages, but
not to (be lesB. For instance, Me
thuselah was born when his father
'Enoch was 65 years old—that is, ac
cording to this reckoning, five years
'and five months, liis grandfather was
also five years old, as was his great
grandfather. when his first child was
Ibnrn. Adam was ten years and ten
liuonths old when his third son, Seth,
(was born. This is the kind of careless
inditing that gives currency to stories
(about signaling Mars, photographing
thought an'd weighing the soul.
The Condescending Tone.
'hero may be little use in pointing
tout the absurdity of the condescending
iti general. A man may be cured
hy instruction, or experience, of some
(particular national or sectional preju
dice, but the tone of condescension
toward some other nation or section is
llfkely to be substituted. Boswell was
unable to eradicate Johnson’s antip
athy either for the Scotch or the
American, and if he had been able to
dc so, the Big Bear would have
prowled at other bugbears. And New
Yorkers as a rule, that is, New York
< who have the proper civic spirit,
..*e too busy to bother much about the
prejudices of their neighbors. A good
pu»t of their industry fortunately goes

GUIDE BOOK OF ETIQUETTE
Probably Compiled by One Who Has
Suffered from the Bad Manners of
the Human Herd.
Persons traveling on the continent
will find the most economical means
of travel a canoe or small Oxford punt.
These are the only two places where
you are not expected to keep tipping.
Having partaken of a seven-course
dinner on a transatlantic steamer, it
is well to remark "Punk food” sharply
upon arising from the table. Other
wise the crew will thipk you arc not
used to any better at home.
Upon returning from a country
boarding house where the only excite
ment is wondering what form the ham
will take the next meal, it is well to
speak of your vacation as “a delightful
experience at a quaint old place close
to nature." This sounds romantic and
doesn't mean a thing.
Young gentlemen desiring to play
stuss over Sunday in the rear of a
beer saloon may allude 1o their ab
sence as "a week-end spent on a duck
farm."
When invited on a yachting trip
always arrange to sit on the bight of
the main sheet. Occasionally rap the
deck sharply with your heels. This
will please the owner of the boat im
mensely. If you can arrange to tie a
few knots in the main sheet, all hands
will usually take a pleasant little swim
before the day is over.
No picnic is complete' without a
young lady who thinks she sees a
snake. It is not good form, however,
to comment upon the bugs in the but
ter and the grasshopper in the pickle
bottle. One must not tie too literal In
summer.
I hose sitting on the rear seat of an
automobile should always sing. Close
harmony and the odor of gasoline
make a very classy combination.
It is not proper for young ladies to
go in bathing without a chaperon, if
you have a chaperon, however, not
much of anything else is necessary.
At the seashore never throw' sand
in a gentleman’s shoes. Put it down
his neck. It will get to his shoes ulti
mately. If he's in a hurry for some in
his shoes, he can put it there himself.
There is plenty of sand.
If you should find a magazine lying
around at a summer hotel, carry it up
into your own room immediately. It
you don't the owner is almost sure to
come hack and take it away.
Explosion Wrought Havoc.
A terrific explosion occurred at Dls
tington ironworks, near Workington,
England, recently, causing damage es
timated at £20,000, and so wrecking
the place that work will be suspend
ed for some months, throwing about
200 men out of work. Eleven gas-filled
boilers are used at the works to gen
erate steam for blowing the engines
which supply the furnnaces with the
blast, and it is supposed that there
was an explosion of gas. The report
was terrific and the effect disastrous.
Three of the boilers were blown into
fragments, while a fourth was found
in a field a considerable distance away.
The boiler is reported to have flown
through the air at a terrific speed, at
a height of about fin feet, "just- like
an aeroplane." Part of another boil
er crashed into Hie fitters’ and black
smiths’ mill, bricks and stones were
shot up as high as the works chim
ney and then rained down on the
works yard and the high road leading
into the village. About 50 men, most
ly fillers and pig-lilters, were work
ing at the front and back of the
blast furnaces, a hundred yards away,
at the time, but they all had a re
markable escape from injury.
A Brave Man.
Former Gov. William Sprague of
Rhode Island celebrated last month
his seventy-nimh birthday, lie is the
only surviving war governor.
A reporter questioned Gov. Sprague
one day at Narragansett about
bravery.
“There is a finer bravery shown in
civil than in military life," the veteran
statesman said: "1 remember one of
our Providence fire chiefs.
"A green fireman resigned from the
Providence service because his chief,
he said, was cruel and inhuman.
"‘How cruej and inhuman?' they
asked him.
" Why,- the fireman whined, ‘at last
week's tenement lire he ordered me
to carry a section ol hose right in be
tween two walls that were just on the
point of tumbling.'
"‘And what did you do?'
“ ‘I refused, of course. 1 told tire
chief it was as much as a man's life
was worth to go in there, and 1
wouldn't do it/
" 'Well, what did the chief do then?’
" ‘Ha, ha, ha. The crazy fool car
ried the hose in himself.’”
The Dirigible Soap-Bubble.
The catastrophe of ItepubliqUe re
minds mt oi what a French engineer
I and constructor, M. Gandillon, told
me quite a year ago: "The weak point
, of ail dirigible balloons is that
the safety margin in every detail of
their construction is too low," says a
Paris letter to London Truth. “In or
dinary steelwork, say a bridge, the
stress put upon the rods is but a frac
! lion of what they could really stand.
In air machines, where lightness is
! ihe paramount consideration, it is nec
essary to cut tilings very fine indeed.
So that if you read in the papers that
1 the France dirigible balloon made a
| run to Verdun at the rate of 43 kilo
| meters an hour, it means that at this
l speed all her parts were strained
nearly to breaking-point, and that she
would have been quite unable to mak<
say, 45 kilometers.” A dirigible bal
loon is still somewhat of a soap-bub
| ble.

Dear Friend:
All flour is made

other kinds.
When you get real
