(ilanders has become epidemic among
Illinois horses, The State Veterinarian
reports that gianders is prevalent among
the horses in nineteen counties. He
claims to have been prevented from kill-
ing the animals afflicted, the attorneys of
the owners contending that he could on-
ly resort to this measure alter the Gov
ernor had issued a proclamation declar-
ing the glanders epidemic. The Attcr-
ney General is now expected to give an
opinion as to the powers of State Veter-
inarian under the State laws,
Thurlow Weed as a Business Man.
The property left by Thurlow Weed
is estimated to be worth from $1,000,-
000 to $2,000,000. Only a small por-
tion of it consisted of real estate. The
bulk of his estate is in first-class rail
road securities, although he owned con-
siderable amounts of bank stocks, city
railroad stocks, ete. His fortune was
largely derived from the accretions of
invested capital. A prominent Wall
street man, familiar to a large degree
with Mr. Weed's business affairs, said:
*“It was not until he had reached tho
age of 50 that Mr. Weed scemed to real-
ize the value of money. Before that
time he was almost indifferent on the
subject of money making. His fortune
was accumulated after he had passed
the .time when a man usually takes a
keen interest in the question of better-
ing his financial condition. I should
say that when Mr. Weed died his in.
come had been ranging at about $70,000
a year. I consider a man’s income to
be the best test of what he is worth,
and I, therefore, prefer to use that fig.
ure rather than to estimate what the
principal of this property is. His es-
tate is-of a character that can readily
be converted into cash. Mr. Weed
made his fortune by wise and careful
investments and the reinvestment of
their accrued profits. When his income
was, say, $40,000 a year, he would
spend only $20,000, and would put the
remainder into prime securities. His
estate consists principally of first-rate
railroad mortgage bonds. He owned
to some extent railroad stocks. He
held no ‘cats and dogs,’ though, as we
say on the street. He never was any-
thing of a speculator, and he did not
make his money by any bold or fore
tunate stroke. What he bought he al-
ways paid for, taking it as a matter of
investment.”

dainty note from Lady X.; and wouldn't
he play in her theatricals? Weak man
—he would. A few days after he re
ceived archearsal card headed “supers.”
It informed him that the play selected
was “The Ticket of Leave Man; in the
first act he would appear “a guest’ in
the fourth “a navvy,” and afterwards
as “‘a detective.” In these the ‘“‘make~
up” (the make-up’s the thing) was ac
complished. The night came, the piece
was a ‘success; but what puzzled him
was, that whenever he trod the stage
although only a “super” without a line,
his entrance was the signal for loud and
continued laughter, At supper he bor-
rowed the programme, and he then
formed his conclusions. It read: “Su
ers—first act; a guest—Maj. B— (his
first appearance). Fourth act: ‘A
navvy,’ Maj. Blank (his second appear-
ance). Last scene: a detective,
Blank (his last appearance).”’

.An Ohio Man's Joke.
The other night a Steubenville man
coming home with his wife discovered
his property scattered over the floor
and the burglar looking out of the win-
dow. He procured his gun without
arousing the burglar’s suspicions, took
aim and fired. The burglar fell to the
floor. The householder approached the
prostrate figure, and to his astonish-
ment found that it was only a bolster
rigged up in his own Sunday clothes.
Having left his brother in the house he
at once recognized the author of the
practical joke. He took the figure and
stood it up by the front door, so that
when his brother entered it fell forward
upon him. The latter began calling,
“police, “fire,” “murder,” and brought
out the neighbors, who aided him in
securing the burglar. On discovering
the character of the intruder he decided
to retire from the business of making
practical jokes.

A Novice in Photographic Posing.
Discussing the subjectof photographs
of stage celebrities, a Philadelphia art-
ist said to a reporter of the Press: “1
was telling you about our leaving the
position to the tastes of the ladies them-
selves, The other day we had rather
an amusing instance of posing. Mille.
Asteggiano,the premiere danseuse, gave
us some sittings. One of her dresses
was the costume she wears in the ballet
of nations. She could not speak n
word of English, and as there were no
linguists in the establishment we had
great difficulty in conversing. She
came out of the dressing-room with a
hop, skip, and a jump, and pirouetted
in front of the camera. The artist tried
to explain to her that she was too near,
but she did not understand, and im-
mediately began a mazouka movement
with lightning rapidity all over the stu-
dio. In and out the chairs, around the
camera-stand, up and down the room,
went the nimble dancer in every possi-
ble attitude of grace except that of re-
pose, but a photograph was not feasi-
le. Finally we sent for an interpreter,
and while waiting the advent of that
person the ballet queen continued her
dancing, looking at the artist from time
to time with a puzzled and impatient
expression. Talk about a pas de seul,
what I witnessed that day was themost
wonderful exhibition of leg-agility you
ever imagined. Finally the interpreter
arrived, and Mlle. Asteggiano paused
for breath. “Is it finished? she asked
in Italian; ‘I am tired.” On it being ex-
plained to her that she was expected to
remain still for a few minutes she
laughed very heartily. ‘Dear me!” she
exclaimed, ‘here I bave been perform-
ing a complete ballet in front of the
camera, under the idea that all my
movements were being instantaneously
photographed. However, I am ready
now.” She gave a bound in the air and
landed on the tip of the big toe of the
right foot, 4 remained motionless
for over half a minute while the picture
was being taken.
*Mlle. Rhea's cartes have many ad-
mirers, She was photographed here in
the magnificent dress she wears as Ad-
rienne. Her costume cost $10,000, and
was presented to her by a French duke
of enormous wealth. It is entirely com-
posed of shades of red satin in light
sud dark (shades, hand-embroidered
with flowers. Round her waist; she
had on a girdle of gems which she told
me was worth $30,000."
~— Both parties will soon have their
nominees in the fleld, and the came

busi ness campaign is always agoing at
the Philad. Branch, where the rush for
cheap clothing keeps up the excitement.

INFLUENCE OF THE SOIL ON
HEALTH.
The influence of the soil upon tha health
of those living upon I, is brought out very
plainly daring the prevalence of epidemic
diseases. That malarial diseases (hike ins
termittent fevers) originate from the soil,
is already excepted ; and recent investiga.
lions show preity conclusively that the
germs of Cholers, Abdominal Typhus,
Yellow Fever, and the plagte are in some
way connected with the soil, which is
daily corroborated by letters from all
parts of the country, stating marvelous efs
fects of Peruna on those diseases, and in
their own convalscent state. Jobn E.
