He Was Vastly Superior.

The historian was IN a country vii
lage near to Boston not long AGO
when a certain couple attracted his
attentions The wife was a trim,
rather attractive little body, with
an erectness of carriage that showed
above the generally slouchy figures
Of her neighbours It was learned
that this was due toher riding horse
back, for whichshe was locallyfamed
as q girl and won two prizes at the
village fair. Her father had INDUCED
her in q few of the privileges of an
only daughter, among which was
also a season or two at a private
school.
But her husband was character.
He, too. was someN hat more intelli-
gent than his neighbors. He never
took prize, but was quite eligible
than his neighbors. He never took
a prize, but was quiet eligible for one
for laziness. AS his neighbors ex-
pressed it, he was too lazy to live"
They were poor, the wife, long ago
having sold not only her horse but
her saddle. Yet the husband would
not work The most he would do
was to help till the little garden that
went far toward supporting them
But the oldest thing about the man
was that through the length and
breadth Of the village he was
known as VASTLY SUPERIOR
This sobriquet was employed not
in jest but in practical earnest. is
Vastly Superior at homer" VASTLY
Superior went here or there etc.
Asking the meaning of this singu-
lar cognomen the historian learned
that the little woman had been some
what of a belle; several village suit
ors had aspired to her hand. One
good fellow on whom she seemed to
smile called one evening, and was
met by her father and told that he
could not see her and his visits had
better be discontinued.
us she engaged with any one
now?' asked the young man.
Yes, sir; engaged for life to one.
vastly superior to any resident Of
this village
The sutton went sadly away; the
praise of the accepted man was re-
peated; the marriage in due time
took place, and as the young hus-
bands traits developed the villagers
bethought them of the appellation
by which the father rated him above
themselves. 1t touched the bucolic
sense of humor and the nickname
stuck. Record.

Positively the Latest Meanest Man.
From the London Figaro

POSlJlyely the Latest MeaneSt Man.
From the London Figaro.
The height Of meanness has been
often defined. [ have heard, for in
stance, that it has been reached by a
man who, having been rescued from
a watery grave in the Serpentine,
during the skating seas on and duly
brought around, after much trouble
in the Royal Humane Society's
house, promptly stole the graphing
irons as he Left the place and sold
them for old metal on his way home.
Another definition asserts that the
height oimeanness consistsin giving,
a blind man a shilling and taking
full change for it out of his hat.
But the Woodbridge Gazette now
claims for that town the credit of
possessing the meanest man in the
person Of a miserly yeoman who re
fused to allow his daughter to re
ceiye a sealskin jacket from her I'M

he could not afford to pay for the
camphor which would be needed TO
keep the moths out of it during the

Method in His Madness.

One of the most remarkable char
acters Cincinnati ever saw is dead.
It was DR.. Joseph Garretson, of
west Eighth street. For siAty-two
years of his life he never drank cup
of coffee nor slipped a little tea. For
fifty years OF his life he ate no meat.
For twenty six years of his life he
never took so much as a pinch of
salt. He came of English stock, and
was born in that county of long
lived people, York, Pa, Feb. 81,
1908. His ideas were very simple,
but on the subject Of diet he believed
in a vegetarian diet. Nature, he
used to say, has supplied this food,
md it is against nature when man
eats meat. To those who would eat
meat, however, he insisted that
it should be boiled. He used
to point to the Indians as proof
of this, claiming that they were never
sick unless from wounds. He trust
I'd no cooks to prepare his food, but
did it himself. When he went upon
q journey he took his food with him,
only few weeks before his death he
was in New York city, going the en-
tire distance without his food. He
claimed that everything greasy was
injurious to the human system, and
of all things horrible was a, piece of
meat fried. Dyspepsia and all the
ghosts and Nightmares ofindegestion
he attributes to frying. His only
drink during his long life was water,
Or sometimes a lemonade. He was
continually experimenting on the
subject Of diet, and attrib uted his
long life entirely to his diet and ha-
bits Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Effect of Different Wheels on
Roads.
From Scribner's Afaoazine

AFOM otftO 1Iu9I%tne.
The character of the vehicle, which are
used upon roadway has great influence
upon its endurance to the beat of the wheels
With the same burden two-wheeled cart
does far more damage to the roads than one
OF four wheels, and this because the sudden
ness i'll the motion of the wheels and their
Irregular, twisting movement In the track
way. Where the axles are short and the
wheels close together the damage to all.
save turnpike-ways, is greatly Increased,
for the reason that there is no chance for
the growth of grass between the treadway
OF the wheels and the footway OF the horses.
This principle appears to have been recog-
nized in some parts OF the country. Thus
In the nelghborhood Of Boston, where the
ways are made solid by macadam or other
ru bic, the distance between the wheels is
generally about 515 feet while in the sandy
road district of Cape Cod the length OF
the axle is usually half foot greater The
greatest defect of our American carriages
Is that for given weight of carriage and
burden the tires of the wheels are extremely
narrow. 1t is true that on ill-conditioned
and muddy roads a narrow wheel-tread is
advantageous for the reason that the thick
mud has a less extended hold when it wraps
around the felloes and spokes: but with this
arrangement the interests of the roadway
are sacrificed to the convenience of the
individual who drives upon it. These
narrow wheels. with tires often not mo- G
than an inch i'll diameter, cut like knives
into tae road-bed, and so deepen the ruts.
II we could require that no vehicle should
have tire less than an inch and a half in
diameter, and that all springless carriages
should have tires at least two inches in
diameter, increasing in width with the
burden, we would secure our ways against
considerable part of the evils from which
they suffer.

1t Is to be- hoped however, that the
whole Democratic party will not be con

establishing election laws that shall
ensure the rights of citizens at
