HALE AND HEARTY AT 100 YEARS.

Fitting Celebration at Louisville Of Mrs.
Margaret FOsseS Centenary Birthday.
Mrs. Margaret FOsse, aged one hundred
years, walked distance of nearly
half a mile in order to attend early
mass. Tie service was held in the Church
of Our Lady, on Rudd Avenue, near Thir-
ty-siIth street, Portland, in honor of the
one hundreth anniversary of Mrs. Fosse's
birthday. High mass was celebrated by
Rev. j. A. Harnist, after which the Sacra-
ment of the holy communion was per
formed. The reverend father made some
very fitting remarks appropriate to the
unusual occasion, reviewing the life of the
aged lady. After the church ceremony
the old lady and her children, grandchil-
dren and great. grandchildren returned to
their home, where there was family re-
union, five generations being represented.
A breakfast was set, every article on the
table, excepting the vegetables, being
cooked by Mrs. Fosse herself.
Mrs. Margaret Fosse was born March
%, 1888, at Elvange, Canton de Faubmont,
Lorraine. Her husband, Louis FOsse, was
soldier of Napoleon Bonaparte, and
fought at Waterloo. He died in this city
twensy. three years ago, in his nlnetIeth
year. The old couple emigrated to this
country in 1858, locating in Louisville.
They revisited the fatherland twice, re-
naming a few months each time. The
rest of Mrs. Fosse's days have been spent
quietly in this city. She is hale and
hearty, and moves around as lively as
young girl. She loves to laugh and joke
with young people, and holds up her end
in repartee. Her greatest delight is TO
cultivate the flower garden which sur
rounds her neat little home at Thirty
second Rudd avenue, in this city, and in
summer she seems to live in a veritable
bower of roses. Mrs. Fosse has five chill
dren, thirty five grandchildren and two
great-grandchildren, all living in this city.
She reads the newspapers regularly, keeps
posted on current events at home and
abroad, thinks Cleveland great Presl-
dent, but classes Miss Rose Cleveland and
Susan B. Anthony together. She is famll.
lar with French and German affairs. She
has been nothing but woman, knowing
her place and keeping it.

Some of the best fancy diaries are
found near the large cities, upon light
ana inferior soils, which are antit for
pasture and permanent meadows, but are
made to produce heavy crops of roots,
fodder corn, clover, orchard grass, millet,
mixed peas and oats and other kinds of
fodder; and which, by the aid of the prac-
tice of ensilage, are made to support, IN
many cases, one COW or more to the acre
the year round. In some localities man
ure from the cities and special fertilizers
are procured to aid in keeping these light
lands in the highest state of fertility; SO
that, on the whole, it may be said that in
choosing dairy farm, the experienced
dairvman is not bound by any circum-
stances, but may safely take the best
lacalty for his purpose, favorable
location being the greatest concern to
nm.
In general, however, the dairy man
would safely choose moderately level
farm, we'll watered, having a somewhat
firm clay loan soil lying in a compact
shape, with convenient spot near the
center of it for his buildings, and as near
to a railroad depot as possible. If there
is permanent cool spring upon it, it
would be great advantage, and
if the spring is located near the
dwelling and in a convenient place for
the milk house it would be still better.
One of the most remarkable results in
the experiments made at the Wisconsin
station was shown in the tests of the
strength of bones. Those fed mainly for
the production of lean meat bore strain
of 1000 pounds. Others, apparently the
same, made from feed of corn meal,
broke at 800 pounds. Perhaps farmers
can see from this why it is that corn
alone is not good food for horses hard
at work. 1t puts on fat but it does not
wear, because it gives so little for taking
muscle. The world wise preference for
oats as food for working horses is not
an accident. 1t is one of the best grains
for giving strength. Farmers learned
this practically long before science ex-
planned the reason.

A Surprising Statement.


We. boldly assert that all American
china and glazed crockery wares is
enameled with Appropriation consisting
largely of the red oxide Of lead, or rs
it is commonly known, litharge. THIS
salt of lead is very soluble in the fata-
cids especially in butyrie acid. All
fatty goods contain this acid and when
from the frequent alternate expansion
and contraction OF the enamel or glaz-
ing on the various dishes and plates
we use on the table. cracks have formed.
the butyric acid insinuates itself under
the enamel, takes up the lead. and with
the food on the plate is taken into the
stomach, where being cumulative
poison it insiduously poisons the
system. Do not let us deceive ourselves
by thinking that the quantity Of lead is
small, but remember that the quantity
of lead set free by carbonic acid in the
water running through lead pipe is
still less, and yet no less authority
than Professor Chandler has proven
that much lead-poisoning is dne To
this.--AmericGs Analyst. ,-.- ......
