The lady Of Seven Watches.

Early in the month of February, 1928,
died Mrs. Traverse, in England. This
singular character was ninety years old
mt the time of her death. Her residence
was Sutton, near st. Helens. 1T was only
in the year 1922 that, after dressing for the
assembly at Warrington, she directed
the bellman to go round the town to in
vite such persons as were desirous to
have Il look at her to come to the inn
where she and her man were, and when
she thought the people had looked long
enough she ordered them to leave to
make room for others. On this occasion
she was adorned with seven gold watches
hanging to view in various parts of her
dress, a great variety of feathers of vari-
ous colors, with ribbons and other arti-
cles corresponding. At another time
she went to the assembly determined to
be in a richer dress than any lady there,
so, in addition to her seven watches etc. =,
she stitched quantity of Bank of Eng
land notes all over her dress. About
twenty years before her death she and
her daughter were in the habit of attend
ing races, fairs, shows and quarter ses-
sions in their neighborhood, and being
good horsewomen, and having excellent
cattle, ten or twenty miles was no object
to them. Their dress in those days was
such as to amaze the whole neighbor-
hood. Mrs. Traverse's daughter died
many years before her mother, since which
the old lady was in the habit of attending
theaters at Liverpool, Prescott, War
rington, etc, and assemblies. When
ever it was known she was to be at the
theater crowded house was the sure
consequence. The managers of country
theaters sometimes got her to bespeak a
play she of course attending, having the
usual number of watches, etc., about her
person, and dressed more gaudily than
imagination can paint; and yet it does
not appear that she was insane, but was
desirous of attracting notice and to have
it believed that she was very rich. He1
manners were coarse in the extreme, her
person masculine, and front, as may be
imagined, for anything. She was avari-
cious, and possessed of a handsome
property.

There is probably no article of manufacture
so universally needed as q reliable low priced
roofing, which can be readily applied without
the aid of skilled labor, and in no other direc-
ton has so great a want been so ineficienty
supplied. The results of experiments with
felts, cements and other compositions have so
far been anything but satisfactory. Numerous
so-callod "chcap roofngs' have been produced,
advertised, used and found worthless. In view
of these facts we are glad to be able to speak
favorably of an article which, from our own
knowledge and the testimony of some of the
most extensive and best known manufacturers
and merchants of this country, has proven
reliable and economical substitute for the more
expensive kinds of roofing. We refer to II.
W. Johns Patent Asbestos Roofing, the manu-
facturers of which make no extravagant repre-
sentations, but claim it to be the only reliable
portable roofing i'll use, and from careful inquiry
we believe their claims are well founded. This
roofing is prepared ready for use, can be easily
applied by unskied workmen, is adapted for
steep or fiat roofs i'll all climates, and when
finished with the ,ctite .tire-proof coating forms
the lightest, handsomest and coolest roof in
the world, costing only about half as much as
tin. Samples, illustrated catalogues, price
lists, and any desired information can be OBJ
tanned from the H. W. Johns Manufacturing
Co., patentees and sole manufacturers, 81
Maiden Lane, New York. This company have
recently completed a new manufactory, the
most extensive works of the kind in the world
and have reduced their prices to basis which
place their goods within the reach of every one.
They also manufacture liquid paints, all shades,
which are guaranteed equal to any for general
purposes and the most durable for outside
work Of any paints in use. In body and rich
ness of color the Asbestos Paints surpass any
We have ever seen. Fire-proof paint, an eco
nomical substitute for white lead, costing only
rs cents per gallon for the protection of fac
tories, bridges and other wooden structures
npAinst fire. is also valuable the c1osa of
outbuildings, fences. etc., which are usually
allowed to go unpainted. Roof paint, steam
pipe and boiler coverings, steam packing,
sheathings, Innings, cement, etc., all of which
can be relied upon as being in every respect as
represented, and we advise our readers before
purchasing paints or roofing, to send for sam
pies of these articles and compare them with
all others

A Night In n japanese Inn,

We entered the village, which was
once city containing over million in
habitants, and put up at a native hotel,
kept i'll native style. Obeying the Gus.
tom of undressing tho feet, we passed
many guests sitting on mats and maxi
ing the chopsticks fly in a way that
would make an American envious even
in q railroad eating house. Upstairs we
went, and were shown into room whose
walls consisted merely of paper, parti-
tioning one room from another, but
which were scrupulously clean. Order
ing supper and some native wine, we
were quickly served by a rather good
looking maid. While waiting the
result of our order, we were served
with "tidbit pastry and with
some sack-ee; also bowl con-
tanning live Goals, together with
pipes after which, giving us time for a
smoke, the courses began with fish, not
cooked enough for our taste; then eggs,
chicken, sweet potatoes, rice and tea.
No bread was served us, nor butter !;
but, as the tea was remarkably fine, and
as the eggs, though small, were duly
seasoned with rock salt, we made good
meal, rendered awkward by lack of ex-
perience i'll using the chopsticks, which
were pencil shaped, and using by hold
ing or pressing the food between the
ends, the guests meanwhile peeping
through the partitions and giggling at
our frantic efforts to eat gracefully.
While eating supper, the governor of
the place sent a constable to obtain our
names and residence, that we might be
under police protection, we being the
first white men that ever spent night
in the place. Supper being over, we
took a short walk through the town, and,
as there were many pilgrims in the place
who had never seen Caucasian before,
we were the "observed of all observers, !"
especially our friend, an Englishman,
who is six feet two inches in his stock
ing feet, and was a giant among them.
Going back to the hotel, our friend asked
us if we wished bath and shampoo.
Answering in the affirmative, he gave the
order, and hearing a low and somewhat
sad whistle. which we had heard both
by day and by night in Yokohama
which, though it had excited our curiosi-
ty, we had failed to inquire the reason
of-he went into the street and brought
in n blind man, who, he said, was to do
the shampooing. The bath being ready,
we went down stairs and were shown
into room, whose wet floor proved it to
be in constant use. After finishing our
bath, we donned our gown and returned
to our room, where the "blind man "
took us in charge. Commencing with our
feet, he knuckled us all over, prying in
between every joint and muscle of our
back and limbs, except the region of the
chest, and which, after he was through,
made us feel as timber as an acrobat.
The sun rose unclouded on the follow
ing morning, and after breakfast served
on the floor, similar in quality to the
supper served on the evening before, we
paid our bill, which amounted to 81. rs
this for both of us, including our wine.

Dom Pedro Applauding.

The emperor of Brazil is an indefatig-
able and restless tourist, but there comes
a time when nature will have her rights,
and she doesn't always take them conve-
niently to Dom Pedro. Lately, after
spending his day in energetically explor-
ing certain italian city, he was obliged
to attend in the evening some scientific
conference. Seated in a comfortable
chair, he appeared to listen with extra
ordinary attention to The orator of the
occasion, and that gentleman, very much
fiattered, judged it wise to embroider
his discourse with an excessively POM
pous and diffuse eulogy Of his imperial
auditor. The rest of the audience
thought it only polite to applaud his re-
marks, and Immediately made great
noise. Dom Pedro, waking suddenly
out of long and sound nap, imagined
that this applause was addressed to the
scientific opinions of the lecturer, and
instantly began to clap his hands with a
convinced and instructed air. Tableau !

SThc Age of RensOu,1

The boy that went to the mill on horseback,
carrying the grist in one end of the bag and
stone in the other, when reproved by the miller,
and told to divide the grist, replied that his
father and grandfather had carried it that way,
and he being no better than they, should CON
tinue to do as they did. Similar, or equally as
absurd reasons are accounted as sufficient by
some to warrant them in Unfortunately con-
dcmning DR.. Pierce's Family Medicines, even
though there is overwhelming proof that they
possess the merit claimed for them. For many
years the Golden Medical Discovery has been
recognized as the leading liver and blood medi-
cine i'll the market Each year has brought
an increase in its sale, and it is now used
throughout the civilized world. Thousands of
unsolicited testimonials are on file in the doc
tors office, attesting its efficacy in overcoming
aggravated coughs, colds, throat and lung
affections, also scrofula, tumors, ulcers and
skin diseases. Are you suffering with some
chronic malady? If SO, and you wish to en-
ploy medicines that are scientifically prepared !;
that are refined and purified by the chemical
process employed in their manufacture that
are positive in their action, and specific to the
various forms of disease for the cure of which
they are recommended, use DIR. Pierce's Family
Medicines. Full particulars i'll Pierce's memo
