MANY CANNOT STENT). INTEREST Dispose of Large Sums In Various Way, but OftBMt Reduce Their Fortunes. When Kdward II. Harriroau, the dead raltrtud wttard, wrote his famous nlueljr-feur-wwd will he made his widow the rtekent among twelve very Tlch American women, whoae wealth total half a billion dollar. The larg' rt fortunes held by women In this country have been catalogued as fol lows: Airs. B.

"With ono exception the other eleven havo put their riches Into bonds low Interest bearing, hut strong as steel armor. Rockefeller, the steel trust and other great holders of capital have It Invested In huge Industries which Hire employment to hundreds of thou sands 'or men. It draws Its profit for the Investor, and It gives Its added benefit to the public nut In the cae of these twelve richest women the money Is an Intense burden to the world of commerce and trade, and It Is also a greater burden to the owners, of It. Take the case of Mrs. Ilarrlman, for Instance. A kindly, sweet-faced, elderly woman, schooled more to her home than to society, suddenly tlnds herself the richest woman In the world. The mind of one man Ilarrlman was sufficient to steer this ship of wealth among the uncharted shoals of Wall street during life. Dead, the minds or many men, lawyers and high financiers, are required to help the widow change her great $85,000,000 es tate into low Interest bearing .securi ties. IIK Baa "t Cold. "Who are- the twelve rich women? "What do they do with their wealth? What can they do with it? Some ot these twelve, like Mrs. Sage, Mrs. Hearst and Miss Gould, distrib ute, huge sums tn philanthropy Out, try as they will, they cannot give It away as rast as It Is Increasing. Mke snowball descending a hill, this big lxdy or wealth keeps growing. This country may have no Hank or England, but In the wealth or Its twelve richest women there is 'a sum or money n body or gold that is larg er than that bank's resources. Miss Anne Welghtman, daughter or the Philadelphia quinine king, was married to Frederick C. Penfleld, an attorney, and the management or her wealth fell upon him Mrs. Hetty Green turned over to her son for man agement a big block of her money. Mrs. Green herself doesn't want to see Jier money decrease She Is the only one of tha twelve who has made her -money herself. Most of It, too, Is in--vested In good real estate rather than bonds, although she Is a heavy bond "holder, too. Mrs. Russell Sage proposed to give anost of her fortune away She found ed $20,000,000 of beneolencen and found the time It takes to direct them would prevent further gifts at pres ent Meanwhile her wealth la drawing an Income of more than $2,500,000 a jear. Mrs. Tha-be Hearst, widow of the California Sfiiator, has given $7,000,. 000 to philanthropy and education, She Is reported to have sunk a similar urn In her son's newspaper ventures, yet her fortune to-tiny Is greater than -ever It was. Mrs. Nounle Leeds bought In Parts m black pearl which even King Ed ward VII could not afford. Her ex penditures on gems have been enor mous, without any decrease in her In come. Mrs. Matilda Zlegler and Mrs. Mor ris K. Jessup both were left legacies by men who In life have been noted for charity. They have continued the work of their husbands, but their wealth continues automatically, JIUs Helen Gould has devoted her lfo (o expending Jay Gould's sift to har of IS,000.D00. I lor boneTactlons are scattered over the United Stts, but the Is wealthier every year. lint Drraanl Woman, Tho best dressed woman of these twohe rich women Is Miss alula Moro stnl, who stands moro than $100,000 a ear for gown. All her dresses and the blooded horses ho bwns can't be gin to stop the golden flood that pours In on her every Interest day Ono woman alone of the twelve the black-clothed figure of Mrs Mary Copley Thaw has found that her money brought hur sadness. The trou ble of her son have taken much of her wealth, but the $lX600,ooo that William Thaw willed her has grown to J I S.noo.o0. Mrs. Thomas U. Wamtmaker will find herself forth $M.OO.0OO within ten years, If her Income crows as It has done. Does this hair Wilton, which Is mounting higher and higher every year, constitute a menace to the coun try? Or does It give It, a stability that the hanks lack, by reason of that rast hordo of gold, which no ono spends, nor no one cares to spend? Only the future can tell. "SVWWSiSA Mnarotar llhraotatlint. Many physicians think that the soreness and aching In the muscle whleh are usually called muscular rheumatism are really not rheuma tism at all. but neuralgia For this reason they prefer to call the af rectlon by Its other name, myalgia, which means nothing more than mus cular pain. It probably belongs, nev ertheless, to the Indefinite group or diseases called rheumatic, for It oc curs frequently In persons who hare other rheumatic or gouty troubles, or In whose family these affections pre vail; and It Is excited by the same things exposure to cold and damp, tor example; overfatigue, indiscretions In eating or drinking that are be lieved to bring on an attack ot rheu matlsm In the Joints. Any or all the muscles may be the seat or myalgia, but those most com monly affected are the muscles ot the neck, or the shoulder and or the loins. In children It often takes the form or stiff neck, while In persons or middle lire the muscles or the loins are not Infrequently attacked, constituting what Is known, and dreaded by those who have had previous attacks, a lumbago. When the chest muscles are affected or the sufferer has "a stitch In the side," or pleurodynia the pain may be as acute as to simulate pneumonia or pleurisy. The chief symptoms of muscular rheumatism Is patn In the muscles af fected, not usually very severe when the parts are at rest, but sometimes excruciating on attempted motion. A light touch may be painful, while deep and Arm pressure' gives relief The acute attack usually begins sud denly, and the pain attains Its full se verity at the beginning, growing grad ually less to the course or two or three days or a week. In the chronic form there Is almost alwas some soreness and aching In the affected muscles worse In raw, damp weather. The Internal treatment Is the same as for rbnumatlsm or the joints which Is another argument In favor or the belief that the two forms are es sentially the same and due to the same cause. The pain may be relieved by dry beat the old-fashioned treatment of lumbago by Ironing the hack Is good, although a hot-water bag or a hot brlrk will do just as well, without the disturbance that the movement of the Iron causes Perfect rest Is essential, and this may sometimes be secured by bandag ing the affected part snugly. Youths Companion. A llpoMalla Keplr. An Kastern potentate once asked t. group or his courtiers which they thought the greater man, hlmaeir or his father. At first he could elloit no reply to eo dangerous a question. At last a wily old courtier said, "Your father, aire, for, though you are equal to your father In all other respects, in this he is superior to you, that he had a greater son than any you have," He was promoted on the spot.

At Koutohlno, near Moscow, Ilussla possesses the most complete laboratory for researches pertaining to aviation now In existence. The work Is under the direction of Mr Rlabouchlnsky, and thn money was furnished by a wealthy Muscovite. It has become the center of much Interest since the re cent achievements In aerial navigation. Here Investigation are made of all question relating to aerodynamics, and some remarkable results have beon ob tained, especially in regard to what is called the "autorotatlon" of bodies or certain shapes when placed In currents of air. It has already been made evi dent that there are many phenomena cf an unexpected character which, when they have been thoroughly In vestigated, may materially aid Invent or and engineers In the construction or more effective flying machines.
