AMONG MEN OF MEANS.
J. P. Morgan, George Gould and
nelius Vanderbilt have been elected,
members of a society of numismatist*.'
They arc understood to have mastered
another form of coin collecting.
In the brief period when he is not
engaged in fixing up billion-dollar com
bines Pierpont Morgan occasionally
cracks a joke. He was showing some j
friends through his kennels, and one
of them expressed great admiration
for an imported setter. “Yes, he’s a
fine dog. His name is Russell Sage.” •
“How did you come to give him that j
name?” "Well, he never losea m I
scent.”
.lustice William Ii. Putnam, of the 1
Cnited States circuit court of appeals,
in Portland, Ore., recently fell into
conversation with a young man of the
notivenux riches who expressed
astonishment that the judge could get
along on liis salary of $6,000 a year. ;
“Why." said the purse-proud youth, j
“it easily costs me twice that amount
to live n year.” The judge answered,
gravely: "It isn’t worth it, George; it
isn’t worth it.”
You ngCornelius Vanderbilt is becom
ing quite a favorite with other work
men in the .Mott Haven shops, of the
New York Centrnl railroat* it is not
uncommon to see him lying on his
hack among coal dust and cinders In
specting tlie construction of a locorno- I
tive fire box. Grimy-faced engineers ]
and firemen like to chat with the young i
millionaire, not so much because he is ;
his fa tiler’s son. but because he is a
good mechanic and understands the |
topics they like to discuss.
Among the stories being told of the
late Cecil Rhodes is this: When tak
ing leave of the German emperor after
several interviews in relation to Af
rica. his majesty said: "I wish yon
were a German. Mr. Rhodes, for then
1 would ask you to become my minis
ter'iif foreign affairs.” The kaiser was
somewhat startled at this characteris
tically blunt reply: "If your majesty
were only an Englishman. I would have i
suggested that you come to South Af- |
rica with me and become my business ;
manager.”
CHAT OF THE STUDIOS.
A colossal statue in bronze, repre
senting the late Cecil Rhodes, is in
the studio of John Tweed at Chelsea,
London. It is designed for the market
plaee at Huluwayo.
Carolus Duran notes the presenee in |
the New Salon this year of paintings !
of steam i ngincs and automobiles, oud |
.remarks that next year will doubtless
bring us picttires of airships.
No need to go abroad to secure art in
ceramics. Many of the recently pro
duced American art pottery pieces are
artistic in the extreme, possessing j
body colorings of exquisite beauty and 1
blending.
The Greek archaeological committee j
hns decided to restore the Kreehtlieion. ;
The greater part of the famous ruin '
on the Acropolis is still standing, and
the fragments necessary for its com
plete reconstruction are ail lying
around.
■ l*rof. Halsey C. Ives has secured
promises of ti c loan of paintings, par
ticularly miniatures made i any years
ago, sonic in the ea rly history of T.oiiis
iana. from wealthy planters of St.
Louis, to be exhibited at the St. Louis
exposition.
Mr. Macbeth, one of tile most promi
nent art dealer* in the country, saya
that well-selected American pictures
have been' profitable Investment,
while, on the other hand, the aver
age foreign picture, as a divideri! ea rli
er. has proved a snare and a delusion.
Outside the work of the Tlarbi/.on
school, he says, it is hnrd to think of
any modern artists whose pictures are
not, commercially. worth much less
than ten year* ago.
■•w (• Avoid Trouble,
A young cock saw a weathercock on
top of the house, and. thinking him a
rival, began crowing fiercely. .
“If you keep on making a n<dsc like
that.” laid the old bird, “they'll wring
your neck for you.”
The yrrung cock looked thoughtful.
‘•Take example by me. I've got ubmp
and have been looked up to for half
a century by simply keeping my bill |

evaporated cream
makes an excellent cream for fruit,
especially for such as contain a
large proportion of acids. It is
better than ordinary cream because
it will not curdle. For the same
reason it is more digestible and
healthful. It can be used by per
sons with whom dairy cream does
not agree.
St. Charles Cream is equal to the
best ordinary cream for any pur
pose. In using it you lake no chances.
