All Work and No Play.

For a great many years two old men,
living together on a little farm near
Plainfeld, n. j., were knows as the
':Plainfield hermits" Five weeks ago
there Was only one Plainfield hermit,
saws the New York Sun. The other
had died. Last week there ceased to
be any Plainfeld hermit. The elder OF
the two men, who were brothers, had
also died. On "Wednesday last he was
buried, and then the somewhat amaz-
ing fact was made known that he had
bequeathed to the Scotch Plains Baptist
Church property variously estimated
at from 100000 to 100000.
The two old men were FraZee Lee
and his brother Daniel H. Lee. They
lived all their lives in the house where
they were born, the house inhabited
before them by their father and grand
father, on the seventy or eighty acre
farm known as "The Two Bridges, "
three miles from Plainfeld, on the road
to Railway. Colder or more hardly
practical and uneventful lives then
theirs were it would be difficult to
imagine. From their youth they took
uo the burden ola monotonous life of
unceasing labor, and they worked
until that life ended. So far as is
known, not a gleam of romance ever
lighted their eXistance. They simply
toiled, saved and died. Yet all who
knew them speak we'll Of them. John
H. Jackson, who is one of the execu-
tors of the will of Frazee Lee says:
"Whatever they agreed to do would
invariably be carried out. Absolute de-
pendence could be placed upon their
word-upon every word they said. They
were close in making a bargain, but
having made it would carry it out to
the letter. They were great workers.
They would 60 out in the field at sum
rise. At : o'clock the hired men would
ioin them, and with difficulty could
keep pace with the old men until I
o'clock in the evening. Then the
hired men would stop and go away
tired, but the two old men would work
on until they could see no longer. And
the next day they would go Or. just the
same. 1t was said of them that neither
ever slept out of his home night in all
his life. They had no idea Of amuse-
ments, no vices, and nobody knows,
or knowing them would believe-that
either of them ever had a romance, or
even passing thought that such a
thing was possible sor him. They were
both members of the Scotch Plains
Baptist church, to which their mother
had belonged, and as long as the grow
ing infirnities of age permitted them
to do so, were regular attendants there,
but latterly their visits to the church
were infrequent. Their mother, who
died six or eight years ago, kept house
for them as long as she lived, and after
her death they kept bachelors hall
Daniel H. was sixty-eight years ole
when he died, and Frazee, who sur
vived him only about five weeks, at
tanned to the age of seventy-nine."

The Heart of Africa.

Felix Gray, in Harper's Magazine
Oh, fare you well, my sweetheart true:
Farewell for year and day;
For Pm going to sail on the Sankuru,
In the heart of Africa.
I'm going to capture cockatoo
On the banks of the broad kassal,
And take swim in the bright Benue,
In the heart of Africa;
Pm going to camp with the wild Zulu,
And shoot with an assegai,
And chase the spiral-horned koodoo,
In the heart Of Africa.
I'm going to paddle my own canoe
On the silvery OgoWdi,
Till come to the city Of Sakatu,
In the heart Of Africa.
If I don't return, O sweetheart true,
At the end of year and day,
Think not am drowned in the Sankuru
In the heart Of Africa.
For there may be reasons unknown to
you
Why cannot get away;
I may marry the Queen Of karaguc,
In the heart Of Africa.

SOME FORMER EPIDEMICs.
Awful Ravages of Yellow Fever IN Ne"
Orleans and Memphis.
TFrom Harper's Weekly.

[From Harper's Weekly
Terrible as the present situation III
Jacksonville seems and really IS, the
fever there is, thus far, Of mild form
as compared with that of othersr
enidenoics of the same dread disease.
Tn to this date of writing the death
rate is only about in S Of the cases re-
norted. In New Orleans in 1858 there
were 29,O2O cases and S,lol deaths, orl
in 3.5s, which was considered low
rate of mortality. The last epidemic
of yellow fever that visited New York
CITY was in 1923. 1t broke out on July
10 in Rector street, and ended
November ). Such was the terror
inspired by it that the entire pusl-
ness portion of the city was oe-
serted. Merchants, insurance COM
NAMES and banks transferred their busl-
ness to Greenwich Village. There all
the banks occupied temporary struc-
tures on one street, which, on that ac-
count bears the name of Bank street to
this day. In the city the infected
streets were FABRICATED and no one was
allowed to leave them. Owing to these
harsh measures, and to ignorance OF
treatment of the disease, the death rate
was very high-1in l, I, or 245 deatns
out of ia cases.
During the terrible epidemic OF 1878
there were II 500 cases in Memphis out
of a. population reduced by the exodus
of all who could get away to about 49,
$50. Of these, $3.50 died, the ratio OF
deaths t. cases being in 5. .. At that
time four Memphis refugees died OF the
fever in New York, but no person con-
tracted the disease FROM contact with
them and it did not spread.

"Another wonderful discovery has been

Disease fastened its clutches upon her al q

and death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed necessarily and could
not sleep. She bought OF US a bottle Of DR.:

Hamlin and Martin l.. Scates, two
well-to-do farmers living on the road

bet on the election. They are near
neighbors and firm friends, although
their politics differ.
IfUeveland is elected, Hanlin will
cut and haul from his own wood ten
cords of wood, the winter supply, to
the dooryard of Scates, the wood to be
eight feet long and piled up. If Har-
rison is elected, Scates will do the same
for Hamlin.

THE FAIRS MAGNITUDE.

1t is expected that the total number
of exhibitors from all countries will
reach 3O,OOO;it it is estimated that -, ,0O0,-
900 persons will enter the grounds and
buildings. Some idea of the magni-
tude Of the exhibition may be gained
from the fact that the total area Of
buildings and enclosed grounds which
is to be lighted by electricity, is 3,0Oo,-
900 square feet. The space allotted to
the United States is about -, 900 square
feet. An exhibit from this country
fully equal to that of 1878 is expected,
and it is hoped that it will be much
larger. There are numerous lines OF
industry that need new markets for
their goods, and this exhibition will
afford them an opportunity for foreign
display.
All of the European countries except
Germany, take an interest in the eN-
position, and will make displays. The
South American republics and Mexico
will also take particularly active part,
as we'll as Japan.
The usual awards of medals and
diplomas will be made, but the details
as to this have not yet been deter
mined.
