If tho combined Vandorbilt wealth wero all in ono dollar bills the area' of paper would be just equal to the amount of white paper re quired to print 4, 182,653 copies of the eight page World. If the bills were, joined end to end they would stretch out 511,321 miles, or, in other words, would go a Ijfao more than once aud a quarter around the globe at its greatest circumference. A careful calculation of the wealth of indi vidual members of the Vanderbilt family makes the following exhibit: Cornelius Vanderbilt $110,000,000 William K. Vanderbilt 86,000.000 Frederick W. Vanderbilt ie.000,000 George W. Vanderbilt 15,000.000 Mi's. KllioU F. Shcpard 12,000,000 Sirs. William D. Sloone 12,000,000 Mrs. Hamilton MoK. Twombljr 12,000.000 Mrs. W. Seward Webb 12,000.000 Total $274,000,000 Mrs. William H. Vandorbilt has no for tune in her own name, contrary to the gen eral belief. She has an annuity of $300,000. When William H. Vandorbilt died he left a fortune, in round numbers, of $200,000,000. It is remarkable how it has Increased In the three years that have elapsed since his death. Old Commodore Vanderbilt left his grandson Cornelius $5,000,000, and his other throe grandsons $2,000,000 each. William K. oper ated extensively in the stock market five years ago, anil, it was generally understood at the time, lost his entire fortune, which he hud increased to $5,000,000. He was reported to have received an allowance of $70,000 a year from his fathor for his personal expenses thereafter and until the death of the latter. About the time of or shortly boforo the ter mination of William K.'s disastrous expe rience in Wall street, Cornelius began specu lating, and was reported to have lost about $H,uOO,OOOof his fortune, which had, however, growu to $3,000,000. Tho fortunes of Fred erick and Ueorgo Vandorbilt had also appre ciated ui value, though not to the same extent as tlw others. Frederick had been very suc cessful in stock speculations and George had niado highly remunerative investments under the direction of his father. Altogether, there was iu the family, outsido of William H. Vandorbilt's personal fortune, $12,000,000. Deducting that amount, the wealth of Will lam II. Vanderbilt has increased $02,000,000 since his death. New York World. The Newspaper School. Emile Zola has written the preface to "Mo rass," a volume compiled by the editors of the principal newspapers of Paris, all of whom contribute anecdotes, experiences and sou venirs of their professional lives. Zola do votes himself entirely to the consideration of journalism, and apropos of the oft mooted question as to whether a newspaper training is of advantage or disadvantage to the man who aspires to become a great writer the "Prince of Filth" gives the following decided views of Interest and importance to young writers: "Every time a young man appeals to me for advice on this subject I urge him to rush immediately into the thick of the literary bat tle into journalism in the sense of news paper work proper. Thero is nothing-which so successfully docides the ability of a writer as thodaily conflict of the press. Here be will learn of men and things, and how to tell others about them. Ilore ho will find the stim ulus of competition. Hero he will learn to buckleonhisarmor and stand Ids ground. And in defiance of the doily assertion that newspa per work is death to literary inspiration, I affirm that, if tho Inspiration exist, it will in time formulate Itself into the voice, which must bo heard, and it will lie just as forceful after t'le training of newspaper work, which is the apprenticeship of literature, which teaches a man, by sheer force of dailv habit, where to choose his word, by which end to seize his idea, and the inestimably valuable lesson or con veying that idea in tho fewest possible words. "Tho habit of scratching off articles on the corner of a table in hot haste uoithor spoils tho styio nor porverts tho idoa. On tho con trary, 'stylo' is born liko tho color of the eyes; and newspaper work, rapid, fanciful, exacting, makes the mind supflo and the pen ready. If one falls hi this battlefield, it is because ho has not strength to stand. ' The man who is fitted for his work will come, un scathed, out of this trial by fire and demon strate tho survival of tho fittest." Current Literature. Cunning Swallows. Birds are often said to fiossess instinct, as distinguished from intelligence, by which is meant, apparently that such knowledge as they have is inherited, not acquired. "A bird always builds its nest in one way," it is said, but few statements could lie less exact. Our common cliff swallow, known also as the eave swallow and the "Republican " for merly built against tho'face of a cliff, and us a protection against the weather, the nest, instead of being open at the top, was bottle shaped, the entrance being through a kind of neck at the side. Now that the country has become populous, however, this swallow has taken to nesting under the eaves of barns, where it is shielded from rain by the over hanging roof. Littlo by little, therefore, the wise, bird has given up its more elaborate method of con struction, till now you may see, side by side, nests that are simple mud saucers, nests that are built in tho old fashioned bottle method, aud nests half way between tho two ex tremes, showing plainly that a process of adaptation is going on. A Pennsylvania newspaper lately reported a very clever piece of work by a pair of those same eave swallows. They had built a nest in tho old style under the eaves of a bora, and when it was done an English sparrow took possession. The swallows mode frantic efforts to dis lodge the intruder, but could not drive her out Then they went deliberately to work and plastered up tho neck of tho bottle with mud, burying the sparrow alive, after which thoy built another nest close by and occupied it as if nothing had happened. Youth's Companion. Slocking Fire Kscapus. "Why don't pcoplo who livo in flat houses keep their household goods off tho fire es capes?" said a fireman to tho writer recently.
