WHAT VANDERILT LIKED.
The Doughnuts and Indian rud.ltuss lie
liiiil C'ooUed for Him tn Newport.
Down in Newport the other tltiy this
anecdote of the lato William K. Van
dcrhilt was told: t'The husband of a
woman, who for many years annually
nelped the bousckoepor at the Vander
built summer house pack the poods
which it was intaudod to take back
to the winter home, said he went down
to tho Vandcrhilt place to meet his wife
one day, and as he was coming away
Mr. Vandcrhilt came out on the lawn
and stopped him, sa.yingf: ' Do you
know where 1 can fret a pood cook for
four weeks? I am (rmno; to stay here u
in mth longer, and the cook is tfoinp; to
leave to-morrow. Can't you get me
one?'
"I said I didn't know. I would try,
and then Mr. Vandcrhilt said: 'I don'I
want any French, fancified cook. I'n
poing to he here almost by myself, an,
1 want one who can make old-fnshiono
Ihinps. I've been just lonine; fo
some Indian pudding, some douprhnut
and cheese, and some brown bread.' 1
knew whore tltcro was an old cook, am,
although she had piven up the business
I pot her to po for tho month. Shi
said she pot orders to cook all old-style
thinps. One day she told me Mr. Van
dcrbilt sent for her, she went in, anil
he said: 'Do you know how to mala'
doughnuts?' r he said she did, and
then he said he wished ho could have
some such as his mother used to make.
Then he said he wanted an old
fashioned Indian pudding, with that
amber-colored jelly all round the out
side of it lie used to invite other
elderly men to come to cine with him
and would praise it all, and ask tlicmii'
it didn't make them think of old times.
"Said the Newport man: 'One day I
met Mr. Vandcrhilt again, just as hi:
was about to leave for New York f, r
the winter, and ho said: 'I'm much
obliged to you for sending me thateook.
I have had a good time. I've hud the
best thinps to eat that I have known iu
many a year.'" N. V. Advertiser.
Etiquette of a Practical Sort.
A housewife of the East, end con
cluded that the only solution of the
servant-girl problem was to teach a
green girl herself. Sho had experience
with girls who thought they knew
iy she engaged a girl from tht country I P, . , , J
who pruiested to know nothing and! l,trlmu ,,y of 1,nte VCilrS kI''s an in
commenced training her. One of tho I J" J lZ f.08?R I"'1
new servant's duties was to attend the
door, and the lady of the house tried in
many ways to impress upon her mind
the necessity of taking a tray or salver
with her when she answered the bell to
receive cards, letters pto n..,.ir.ni .i
afterward the servant appeared at her
mistress' door, saying: "If you please,
ma'am, the vegetable man is at the door
and wants to know if you want any
pood potatoes." Tho lady looked up
from her sewing and then fell into a
lit of laughter. The servant was stand
ing, as she had been taught, holding
the silver tray with three largo pota
toes on it in the most proper manner.
The servant's sense of tho fitness of
things was evidently undeveloped.

SUN AN J KrtlN SHADES.
An Kngllsh Philanthropist the f irst Man
to Habitually Carry sn Umbrella.
About a hundred and forty or fifty
years ago a bloodless revolution was
brought about in London by a single
man, says the New York Evening
l'ost. He was Jonas Ilanway, a well
known philanthropist and founder of
the Magdalen hospital, who first had
the courage habitually to carry and
use an umbrella in public. Up to this
time the umbrella had been considered
as essentially an article of feminine
equipment and luxury, and the innova
tion . was naturally for a long time a
subject of derision iu general, but.
most especially, from the hackney
coachmen and 'chairmen of the day,
who considered the use of them an in
vasion of their vested rights. Mae
donald, a literary footman of that
time, who wrote an autobiography,
informed his readers that he had "a
fine silk umbrella brought from Spain,
but could not with any comfort to
himself use it, the people calling out:
'Frenchman, why don't you pet
a coach'.'' " So remarkable was
the appearance of an umbrella
in those days that the "debut" of
one in many other English towns was
quite a news item, like the monster
gooseberrv or sea serpent of later days.
So we read of a red le
horn umbrella
appearing in Uristoi about 1780 and
creating quite a sensation. In Eilin-
burgh a Dr. Spens was said to have
been the first to carry one in public.
Horace Walpole tells also how a Dr.
Shebbeare, who was prosecuted for
seditious writings in I'M, "stood in the
pillory, having a footman holding an vvleru the ro-ids arc good,
umbrella to keep oil the rain." For, jiihs i)OI), u,,. t,cst of English women

Murder a Product of Lack of Civ-
U;zj.tion.
The Restraining Influence of Bellgloaa
Sentiment-Countries Where th
Moat Murders Are
Committed.
Murder, geographically considered
is the product of lack of civilization,
writes Prof. Oettinper in his "Moral
statistics." Whenever a state of pov
ernmcnt is in a state of disorganization
Lhe people become demoralized, educa
tional and religious progress is at a
tandstill, and murder is bound to in
crease. It is essential to lay preat
tress on the religious feeling of a
ommunity, because comparatively few
nurdcrs occur in Turkey, a country
Icranpcd and unsettled in its af
iiirs. wherein a large proportion
.f the people are lacking in civil iza
ion and culture. Ilut the Islam faith
i productive of a certain religious
sentiment in these uneducated masses
which prevents murder, the greatest
erime against human and divine laws,
-'ompaivd with Turkey, Greece, once
the scat of civilization, but now de
moralized and degraded by Turkish in
liiience, without the prohibitive power
of the Mohammedan religion.manifests
the truth of this assertion by rolling up,
in a population of less than 3.000,000
people, 310 murders, and 473 felonious
assaults, an average of one killed or
maimed for every :i,SO0 souls. This
number overshadows demoralized Ire
hind, where for a number of years the
most terrible agrarian crimes, ruur
ilers. arson, etc., have been committed,
the outcome of the atrocious feeling
between landowners and the peas
antry Another country with a large per
centage h Spain, and an increase in
bloodshed goes hand in hand with its
gradual decline. A glance at the crim
inal statistics of the United States
demonstrates that murder reaches its
highest percentage among the unedu
cated class, who can neither write nor
read. In the state of Texas, for ex
ample, one murder occurs to every
eight thousand live hundred inhabi
tants. In Illinois this percentage is
I considerably lowered, one murder be-
uurii out oi socialistic tcuiiencies. rue
murder percentage of (Ireat llritain is
comparatively small, with the excep
tion of London and Ireland, and per
sonal safety in England and Scotland
is commended on all sides. Even few
ll.mis. uLiuci:, .mcuuji, uetutTUrli., rei-
pium, Holland and Switzerland record
murder si atlsties similar to those of tier
many. No substantial data can bo
obtained about Russia, but the strik
ing increase in political murders, sig
nalized by the nihilistic and socialistic
era, needs no comment. No state in
the world rolls up more revolutionary
attacks and crimes at the present time
than rtni-.n.. During the year 1880-87,
the last authentic report tnat could be
obtained, three thousand persons were
deported to Siberia or life.
As with suicide and murder, it is with
theft. geographically speaking. Lack of
culture and civilization is synonymous
with increased theft and dishonesty,
not so much on ac onnt of the immoral
and depraved condition of the people as
because of hick of protection. Theft in
Sweden and Norway, in Denmark and
the extreme north is exceedingly rare.
The oriental and southeastern states
show an alarming amount of theft, nnd
next to America Turkey, Russia, the
ISalkan states and Hungary contain
the most crooks.
I-'raud'in all its-variousdenominations,
ranging from high-grnde swindle in
its manifold phases down to small
shady transactions which hover be
tween dishonest practices and techni
j cal evasions of the law, has its bom.
principally in the large cities of tin
world. London is a perfect mecca foi
swindlers, while throughout England
with the exception of London, busi
ness dealings are characterized by
sound principles of honesty. Compar
atively little fraud Is practiced in the

How a Nervous Lawyer Quieted a Nolai
i Cornet rinyer.
' John Leech, whose humorous picturei
made Punch, was driven out of Londor
by the hand organs and street bands
Their noise affected his nerves and pro
vented him from drawing, and thougl
he tried again and again, ho was unahlt
to silence them. Mr. Montague Wil
liams tells, in his "Later Leaves," of a
lawyer who did silence a cornet player
who spent most of the day in playing
bis instrument.
The lawyer, poor, old and eccentric,
lived in two attic rooms beneath which
resided the cornet player. Annoyed at
the man's persistent playing, the law
yer remonstrated repeatedly, but in
vain. One afternoon, the man in an
swer to the lawyer's protest remarked I
that an Englishman's house was his 1
castle, and that he should play when
and as long as he pleased.
That night, just as the musician had
fallen to sleep, he was awakened by an
unearthly din. A terrible pounding
was going on in the room overhead, lie
flung a blanket about his shivering
body, and ran upstairs. There was a
light in tho lawyer's room, the door
stood open, and in be rushed. 3
What he saw took away his breath.
The old lawyer was sitting on the floor
singing a lugubrious ditty, and driving
large nails into the boards with a mas
on's hammer. The cornet player en
treated him to desist. Tho answer
was another nail driven into the lloor,
another and yet another. Then the
lawyer paused and said:
"You make my life a misery to me all
day long, and now that tho night has
come it's my turn."
Down again came the heavy hnmmer,
and another nail was driven home.
The cornet player, seeing that the
.awyer was master of the situation,
agreed not to play during the day if the
lawyer was at home. The truce was

Presence of Mind.
The Spectator has a paper called tho
"Cowardice of Crowds." Tho writer is
deeply Impressed with the very strange
story of the poor woman who had a
lamp thrown at her and was burned to
death, while a little crowd of ownle
loouea ou anu ma uouung, writes
Walter Ilesant. One poor woman alono
attempted to put out the flames. It is a
horrible story, but I should not have,
made it the peg for a paper on coward
.ce, because I think that cowardice had
nothing whatever to do with it. Why
cowardice? There was no courage
wanted to tear off your coat and wrap
It around tho burning drapery of the
unfortunate woman, l'resence of mind
was lacking, if you please, but not
courage. Presence of mind, which
means readiness to act for the best in a
sudden emergency, will prove to be
wanting more and more as wo do- j
part more and more from tho primi- '
tive condition of man, wh ich is one of
being always hunted for food by wild
beasts, always hunting for food, and al- !
vays fighting. In that condition man
is full of resource; contrives a thousand
stratagems, and meets a thousand dan
gers. Hemove from him the habit of
hunting and tho necessity of fighting.
Make his life assured and easy, and ho
will infallibly lose the readiness and the
resource in other words, tho presence
of mind of tho savage. This, in fact,
we have done. In moments of unu
sual, unexpected dangers, we are par
alyzed. This is ray reading of the con
duct of the crowd which looked on
while a woman's clothes flamed up and
burned her to death.
