The Alaskan AIMS.

Though by no means the highest
mountain in the world by actual meas
urement, yet Mt st. Elias probably
appears as large as, if not larger than,
any other, for it is plainly visible from
the sea throughout its entire height of
eighteen or nineteen thousand feet,
though situated from forty to fifty
miles inland The Swiss mountains,
which are all under sixteen thousand
feet, are generally seen from elevations
varying from four to eight thousand
feet, while in the Himalayas the plane
of observation is considerably higher
1t is certainly true that. with the pos
sible exception of Mt Wrangel, about
which little is known, Mt st. Elias
presents the greatests snow climb of
all the mountains in the world, on ac-
count of the low point to which the line
of perpetual snow descends in these
northerly region. Beside ST. Elias
such mountains as Cook and Vancouver
sank into insiguidcance. = Wttiianl

SHE LAYS ASIDE HER PIPE.
It Is Time to Swear on for She Is lie
Years Old.


IL Is Timo to Swear on. for She Is lls
Years Old.
Ohio has come to the front as the
State for centenarisns, and there Is
quite rivalry existing between several
Of our communities as TO which can
produce the most aged person. Picka-
way County takes the lead at present,
as she undoubtedly has the oldest citl-
zen in the State The person referred
TO is Mrs. Margaret Arnold, who lives
with her son, Henry Arnold, on ], 900
acre farm, through which runs the
dividing line Of Pickaway and Fayette
counties.
The correspondent called at the home
Of Mrs. Arnold and secured reliable
account of her life. As she lies in bed
continually it was necessary for us to
have her placed in chair in order TO
obtain her photograph, which was the
first one that had been taken for
twenty-seven years
Mrs. Margaret Arnold was born near
Richmond, Va, July 4, 1777. Her
father, Mr.. Robert Riser, had twelve
children, four of whom are living three
daughters and one son. Margaret was
q remarkably beautiful girl, and she
was married to Mr.. Frederick Arnold
when quite young. Her husband died
over seventy years ago and she has re-
NAMED in widowhood ever since. She
removed from her native State to Chill
licothe, Ohio, where she remained but
ono winter From Chillicothe she re-
moved to a farm In Fayette County and
followed the occupation of tailoress.
She made her home, after this, in Hi
nois for twenty-seven years, and ulti-
mately returned to Ohio, where she has
since been living with her son.
Her health is excellent. She has
fine appetite and can eat as large a
dinner as the sturdiest harvest hand.
No physician has ever been called to
attend her as she has never been sick
a day in her life. Although smoker
of tobacco for seventy years, she has at
last laid the pipe aside, finding no fur
Their comfort in it.
Mrs. Arnold is 5 feet 2 inches in
height and weighs 40 pounds. She
has q remarkable constitution, and
some who know her think she may
hold out until her 125th year. Her
five children-two daughters and three
sons-haye been attentive to her
necessities, and the son with whom
she lives at present cares for her ten
derby.
As hitherto stated, Mrs. Arnold has
two sisters and one brother living. Her.
eldest sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Hillard,
is living in Lynn County, Iowa, having
been twice married. She is 115 years
Of age.
The other sister, Mrs. John Bailey,
lives in Dakota, and is 1903 years Of
age She is healthy old lady and
walks about without assistance. Her
eyesight is excellent, and she is likely
to retain her physical vigor for many
years to come.
William Kiser, the only living broth
er, is still alive at the old homestead
near Richmond, Va, and is 1O4 years
of age. There is doubtless not another
family in the United States or in the
world that can show such wonderful
record:
Maryland independent. [volume] (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1874-current, 1889-06-07

Each one of these venerable old PEG
pie has lived during the administra-
ton of every President of the United
States and during the greater part Of
the eventful period of the national his
tory.
The last work performed by Mrs
Arnold was about three years ago, when
she knit pair of stockings for her lit
tie grandson. These stockings have
been preserved as mementos to show
the good character Of the work done
by Mrs. Arnold when she was 1O8 years
Of age.
Her eyesight, hearing, and vocal or
gans have almost failed her, and she
comprehends but little that is going on
about her, her eyes being almost closed.
She always knows, however, when
there are strangers in the room-Let-
