Recluses Live Apart
From the World.
dne day in the early fifties a Cam
bridgeshire woman passed from hu
man ken. For over thirty years she
had been seen by none, her meals hav
ing been left outside her room to be
taken in when no one was by; and it
was only through her neglecting to do
this for three consecutive days that
apprehension as to her safety was
aroused. The door of her room was
forced and she was found dead on
her bed. The reason for her eccentric
conduct never transpired.
An equally mysterious recluse dwelt
In a Kentish town. A trusted civic
employe, he one morning quit his post
for no ostensible cause and retired to
his house, where he lived on a' scant
annuity he possessed. Such food as
he needed was purchased by a blind
sister, with whom he lived, and he
gave no sign of existence, save when
at night his steps could be plainly
heard pacing his backyard, which, that
he might escape prying eyes, he had
roofed in with canvas. The mystery
at his death remained unsolved.
A physician named Blore, who lived
at the end of the eighteenth century,
was suddenly seized with a hatred of
his kindand resolved until his death
never to see or be seen by man. So
he had made a large bell-shaped struc
ture of wickerwork, open at the top
to admit air and food. Into this, hav
ing caused it to be placed in the hall
of his house, he, having bidden a sol
emn farewell to his wife and daugh
ters, descended through the aperture.
In this case Insanity was at the bot
tom' of the matter and .Blore perished
by his own hand in less than a week
after he had taken possession of his
odd dwelling.
Another curious instance of mania
was that of a gentleman whose family
was well known to the writer. He
was stricken with the strange fancy
that he possessed a Gorgon's head, so
that everybody who beheld him would
be turned to stone. He therefore re
tired to a couple of attics, to which
he would admit no one, and, though
doubtless he might with propriety have
been, relegated to an asylum, his fam
ily' respected his bizarre whim and
he remained religiously secluded for
over three years, when he recovered
his normal senses.
The victim through an accident of a
ghastly disfigurement, a wealthy Pa
risian, says the London Tit-Bits, made
a vow never to be seen again by man.
He kept to a special suite of .rooms
in his house, where he was . waited
upon by two well-trained blind ser
vants, who were the intermediaries
between himself and the other mem
bers of his household. No exception
was made even in the case of his wife
and children, who, from the day of his
accident to that of his death, never
again set eyes upon him.
The late E. P. Whipple, the Ameri
can lecturer and critic, used to tell
of an eccentric New Yorker who, hav
ing read a pamphlet on immurement
as practiced by the mediaeval religious
orders, was possessed by an Irresisti
ble desire to copy their procedure
though not in his own person.
This he gratified with the assistance
of an elderly pauper, who. In consid
eration of a handsome annuity allowed
to his wife, agreed to be confined In a
small dungeon built in the walls. In
this cell he spent four years of his
life, being fed through a small aper
ture so contrived as not to permit a
sight of the voluntary prisoner.
A strange fancy seized a Viennese
watchmaker some years back. He
shut himself up in his .house, and till
his death, seven years later, was never
again seen by mortal eyes. All the
windows were closely shuttered and
such communication as he had with
the outside world was carried on after
dark through an aperture made in the
door. He continued, to some extent,
to work at his trade, at which he was
an expert; watches, clocks, etc., to be
repaired being taken . in and returned
through the same small opening.
PICKING OUT THEIR CAREERS.
Children Begin in These Day aa Soon
as They Talk. - .
A group of five Brooklyn children,
cousins, were playing in the nursery
a few mornings ago, the eldest perhaps
10 years of age and the youngest, the
only boy, nearly 5. Their mothers are
club women, alert and intelligent, and
these youngsters had heard much dis
cussion of "the new woman" and of
"advanced" topics mentioned in ad
dresses before the clubs. They had
absorbed more of the Information than
their parents realized, says the Brook
lyn Eagle.
On the morning In question the chil
dren were talking oyer what they had
heard and the oldest .said: "Well, ev
erybody's got to be something now
adays. Mother says you can't be just
humdrum and comfortable and sit
around home any more. Must have a
career. I shall be a musician. People
wll come to hear me play and will clap
and give me lots of 'plaws.' "
"I," said Jeannette, "shall be a sculp
tress. I already make very nice things
In clay modeling at school."
"ProudeeI" yelled the others.
"No, I ain't, "I know my llminut
tatlons,' as mother says -when she
reads a paper. But I know what I can
do! So now!" ' ' .
Marie thought she would be an act

which, only that she "would know a
lot" and wear a long gold chain.

brother. . " 'Nen If you ain't good I'll

Dear little Marjorle, 6 years old. who
had many dolls to care for, sat content
idly In her little chair rocking, hugging
her baby doll and crooning a "bye-low"
to it. She bad not spoken and was ask
ed to contribute her Idea of a career to
this symposium. She glanced up, a
puzzled look on , her contented little
face. "Yes, I heard you all talkin',"
said she with a sigh. Then her usual
happy expression returned, she lifted
baby doll to her shoulder close under
her chin and said: "I'm just goln' to

There was evidently something on

that the coffee was cold and that the
cook and the housemaid were quarrel

"It can't be the dressmaker's bill,"
mused the wife, "for she has only sent
it to me twice as yet; It will only go
to his office as a last resort. Any
how, If it is anything, unpleasant he'll
speak of It soon enough," and she
poured herself another cup of tea,
which was hot.
At last he spoke. "By the way, my
dear, it seems rather dreary for you
alone all day In this large house. How
should you like a visitor this win

Mrs. BIghead stiffened. "It ia quite
Impossible. In the first place, the
guest chamber isn't fit to be seen and,
anyhow, I don't want anybody to sleep
in that lovely bed. It would spoil the
set of pillows. Besides, I shall be too
busy to talk to anybody this winter;
the house takes up all my time."
"But what I was thinking was that
you might be glad of a little help in
your housekeeping."
"That is just where you are mis
taken, Clarence BIghead. When I want
any Interference in my domestic af
fairs I'll let you know. Oh, yes, I
know just how much she would enjoy
putting a finger into my pie."
"You quite surprise me, my dear.
Still, you must know her better than
I."
"That Is the first time since our
marriage that you have shown any ap
preciation of my judgment, I'm glad
you've learned its value at last."
"Oh, well, I only thought to give
you pleasure."
"Great pleasure, I'm sure. I only
hope you haven't already invited her.
If you have, I give you fair warning
I shall just expose myself to smallpox
and have the house quarantined, so
she can't come."
. "Of course I haven't asked her. I
thought I'd Just suggest it, lest you
didn't like to, and you'd enjoy asking
her yourself."
"And enjoy hearing all winter how
she brought up ten children without
ever a sealskin jacket or ever going to
balls or partleof any kind."
"Really, I was not aware that you
"Of course you were not aware of
anything. Well, I'll not have any
company thlswinter, that's final. I'm
going to fit up the guest chamber as
a private gymnasium and I'll have no
room for any one."
"Very well, then, that settles It;
we'll say no more about it. I wasn't
overanxious for it myself." He was
struggling into his coat as he spoke.
"I only thought you might like to ask
your mother down for a little visit"

- LIFE IN THE SEA.
The Cnrions Thlnss that Thrive in
an Aquarium.
Mr. Spencer, the superintendent of
the New York Aquarium, a few days
ago was busying himself by picking
a lot of sand fleas from a dipper and
dropping them into a jar of anemones.
As they fell into, the water they
straightened themselves out and then
slowly dropped to the bottom, kicking
as they fell. A few of them alighted
on the body of an anemone, which
promptly closed up. One, unfortun
ately, found himself, when he had set
tled, on the tentacles of one of the
anemones. These began to serve the
purpose for which they were bestow
ed upon the anemone, and the flea, or
scud, suddenly found himself inside
the capacious maw of the anemone,
and the life was soon squeezed out of
him.
"All is grist that comes to our mill,"
quoted Mr. Spencer. "These were on
a lot of mussels which came In a
little while ago I thought I would
save them. There is life everywhere
in the water. Ixok-at this!" He held
up a dozen mussels, held together by
what appeared to be a vegetable
growth. "That is an animal growth,
known as serturlaria," said he. "In
this bunch you will find all sorts of
animal life There are scuds, or sand
fleas, and rock crabs. Look!" He
held up one of the valves of a mussel
shelL On it was a sea anemone. "No
tice that reddish coating,, part of
which has flaked off. Look at it
closely. Doesn't it look - like, lace
work? That is the bryoza coral, the
lowest form of mollusk coral. You
will find life on nearly everything
that comes from the sea. Here's one
of the rock crabs." He took out of
the nest of mussels a little crab, about
the size of one's finger nail, and drop
ped It Into a jar of. water. New York

Peruna is such a perfect specific for each
case that when natients have once used it
tliev can never be induced to nnit it until
they are permanently cured. It begins to
relieve tne disagreeable symptoms at once.
The backache ceases, the trembling knees
are strengthened, the appetite restored, the
digestion made perfect, the dull headache
is stopped and the weakening drams are
graauany curea. xnese results certainly
follow a course of treatment with Peruna.

to go to bed and stay there when I was so busy
that I could illy be spared. It was therefore a
simple godsend tome when Peruna was brought

new life, and every dose made me feel much
better, and I promised myself that If I found
that it cured me I would advocate it so that
other suffering women should know of It. I

Mrs. Anna Martin, 47 Hoyt St., Brooklyn, N.
Y., writes: "Peruna did so much for me that I
feel it my duty to recommend it to others who
may be similiarly afflicted. About a year ago
my health was completely broken down, had
backachS dizziness and irregularities, and life
seemed dark indeed. We had use for PeruNa
in our home as a tonic, and for colds and ca
tarrh, and I decided to try it for my trouble.
In less than three months I became regular,
my pains had entirely disappeared, and I am
now perfectly well." Mrs. Anna Martin.
Mrs. Wni. Hetrick. Kennard, Washing
ton county. Neb., writes;
"I am h'fty-six years old and have not
felt well since the Change of Life began ten
years ago. I was in misery somewhere
most of the time, mv bnck was yery weak,
and my flesh so tender it hurt me to lean
against the back of a chair I had pain
under my shoulder blades, in the small of
my back and hips. I sometimes wished
myself out of this world. Had hot and
cold spells, dizziness and trembling of the
limbs, and was losing flesh all the time.
After following your directions and taking
Peruna I now feel like a different person.
Mrs. Win. Hetrick.
