1t takes on an average forty minutes
to walk up the spiral staircase to the top
of the great structure. BY elevator the
journey can be made in one-eighth that
time. A correspondent of the New York
EUening Post went to a little above
the 1,O00foot mark, and he thus writes
of his trip; Il assembled with nj. Glenn
enceau, Admiral Maxse, and Miss
Maxse, a girl of 10. At 1000 feet the
winding iron stair stopped. / crawled
across the plank over the abyss ON my
hands and knees. On rising to my feet
| stumbled, but fortunately regained
my balance and did not fall off the ex-
posed platform, but the moment was
somewhat CHASTITY. Then nj. Clemen-
ceau and began the ascent CT ladders
about thirty feet high. The wind was
blowing hard, and there was q slight
shower of hail. It was bitterly cold.
the ladders shook under the ascent, and
/ persuaded NJ Clemenceau to desist.
His hands were so cold that he might
have slipped, and the consequences to
the republic would hava.. been calami-
tots. We came down the ladder and
felt much more comfortable when we
were once more on the staircase"

Used Tobacco for a Hundred Years.

There lives in Breckneck Township,
this county, colored man who is In
all probability the oldest person in the
State His name is Robert Springer.
He claims that he is ia years old. He
was born in slavery in Delaware, near
New Castle, and was the slave Of John
Dent. Prior TO the war of 1912 he was
set free by his master, and shortly
afterward was pressed into the Govern
ment service In 1916 he came into
Pennsylvania to earn money TO pur-
chase his wife's and children's freedom,
but while he was trying to do so they
were sold farther South and he never
heard of them again. He then settled
down where he is now, and has lived
there for over seventy-five years.
His neighbors, q number of whom
are from eighty to ninety years of age,
confirm the story of his great age, say
ing that they knew him as boys, three
quarters of a century ago when he was
a man of considerable age. He is now
very feeble physically, although he is
bright in conversation and has an ex-
cellent memory. He smokes, chews,
and takes snuff constantly. He says
he has used tobacco continually for
about hundred years. Reading pa. }

THE Irish arc said to be settling in
large numbers in the Argentine Repub-
lie, and it is not unlikely that many
Americans will be attracted there. The
climate is temperate, the soil fertile, and
the people are pacific, while the govern
ment is liberal to immigrants and offers
tracts of land upon the easiest terms.
The Argentine Republic is looming up
as a great country aud in the near flu
ture il will be to South America what
the United States is to North America.

If disease has entered tho system the only
way to drive it out is to purify and enrich the

But how soon the lily and the rose wither in
