The Span of Three Lives.

The late Sidney Bartlett, of Bos-
ton, whose life reached back into
the last century, wrote to a friend
a short time before his death, this
memorable statement: Deacon
Spooner died in 1918 aged ninety
four. I saw him and talked with
him. He talked with Elder Faunce,
who talked with the Pilgrims and is
said to have pointed out the Rock. /"
Mr.. Bartlett passed away a few
weeks ago, but the three lives span
the whole of American history from
the Pilgrim Fathers down to the
present. 1t seems almost incredi-
ble, but yet it is true. Brief as is
the time, no other nation has made
such progress during it. The Won
derful achievements of science, the
development of material resources,
the victories of the church, the en-
richment, the uplifting, and the
ennobling of humanity, that these
three lives have seen, comprehend
the best of the worlds history since
the time of Christ. We talk about
the world being old, and yet three
lives reach back to the Pilgrim
Fathers. Will any three lives cover
as much in the future?-Iowa Reg

HOW IT HAPPENED.

Mauch Chunk Letter: Visitors
to court this week have noticed the
leading lawyer for the defense
Gen. Mccartney, of Wilkesbarre.
For SO sensible man people won
dered why he parted his hair like q
dude-in the middle-because the
general is anything but dude. He
is a tall, hsndsome, soldierly-look-
ing man, with hair, mustache and
long goatee touched with gray.
During the war Mccartney COM
manded Battery A, Massachusetts,
Artillery. In hand-to-hand en-
counter with some of Mosby's guer-
rillas a eabre crashed down upon
the parting" line on the left side
of the artillerist's head. Nothing
but heavy circular piece Of patent
leather in the top Of the fatigue cap
he wore saved his life. To hide the
disfigurement which this caused
Mccartney thenceforth parted his
hair on the other side of his head.
In the battle of Fredericksburg a
sixty-pound shell exploded near
him and fragment from it plough.
ed a furrow directly along the new
parting in his hair. An ugly wound
was the result, and to hide it and
the other Nice Cartney has ever since
been compelled to part his hair in
! the middle.

Figures that Have Interest.

There are at present 1904 Ian
guages spoken by the inhabitants
of our globe, whose religious con-
victions are divided between 1000
different confessions of faith. The
number of males is nearly equal to
that of the females. The average
duration Of life is thirty-three years.
One-fourth Of the population of the
earth dies before attaiuing the sew
teenth year. Of 1000 persons only
1 reaches the age of one hundred
years and not more than 6 that of
sixty-five years. The entire popu-
lation of the globe is upward of l.
2OO,OO0,OOO. Of whom 1924 900
die every year, 96,4SO every day,
1920 every hour, 67 every minute
and one and fraction every second.
On the other hand, the births
amount to 36,702,O00 every year,
1OO,SOO every day, 4 200 every hour,
70 every minute, 1 and fraction
every second.
Married people live longer than
the unmarried, the temperate and
industrious longer than the glut-
tons and idle, and civilized nations
longer than the uncivilized. Tall
persons enjoy greater longevity
than small ones. Women have a
more favorable chance of life before
reaching their fiftieth year than
men, but less favorable one after
that period. The proportion Of
married persons to single ones is as
| IS to 1000. Persons born in spring
have more robust constitution
than those born at other seasons
Births and deaths occur more ire
quently at night than in the day
time. It may finally be added that
only one-fourth of the male inhab.
itants of the globe grow up to carry
arms or perform military service.

has a big house, rent free. Minis

and this, it must be remembered, is
in gold. Silver is current in Japan
and the rate of exchange adds al
least one-fourth to the purchasing
value of our consular and diplomatic
salaries all through the East. A
salary of $500 out here becomes
about $4,000, and a salary Of $12,.

Servants are cheaper in the East

have, as a rule, three servants here

JEFFERSON DAVIS ROMANCE.
The stratsgsm BY which He Secured 9
Bride when q Young Lieutenant

The first marriage of Jefferson
Davis was of a somewhat romantic
character. After graduating at West
Point he was ordered to Fort Craw-
ford at Prairie du Chen, Wis.,, the
post then commanded by Colonel
Zachary Taylor. The daughter of
the latter, Miss Sallie Knox Taylor,
at once fell desperately in love with
the handsome and intellectual
young lieutenant, and the affection
was reciprocated, but the oldColonel
was averse to any matchmaking
under the circumstances, and per-
emptorily forbade Davis from Wis
iting his quarters except in an Off.
cial capacity. The lovers managed
to see each other by strategem, how
ever, and one morning by daylight
they were missing. The household
was instantly aroused, the servants
interrogated and a search made,
but nothing was elected save thst
the door of the stable was open,
four horses were gone, and their
tracks indicated a hasty departure.
Further examination of the prem
ises showed that Lieutenant George
Wilson, brother of Thomas S. Will
son of Dubuque, Iowa, and Miss
Street, daughter of Colonel Street,
had likewise suddenly disappeared.
There was but one conclusion, and
in less than an hour every man,
woman and child in the village
knew all about the runaway match.
Colonel Taylor was enraged and
declared with an oath as strong as
he ever used, that under no circum-
stance would he forgive Davis or
| become reconciled to his daughters
disobedience. Sixteen years passed.

United States Army in Mexico, and

Taylor, mounted on Old Whitley
paid him a visit. Dismounting, he
stepped to the Colonel's cot and
extended his hand.
"Jeff," he said, "you have saved
the day with your glorious rifles

his daughter) knew your worth and

Hot Toddies.

A number of my matronly friends
assure me that "in their families
there are times when it is positively
necessary, as a preventative of seri-
Gus illness, to give their boys and
girls shot toddy."
In one home circle, graced by
three pretty girls, we have seen the
baby, nine-year-old Edythe, cry for
a sup of the toddy, though not in
the least ailing, while both parents
laughed at the ''little toper's" love
for whisky.
A mothers early death thrust on
me the care of four brothers. | de-
termined that in our house they
should not learn to love their toddy,
dashed with liquor.
Yes, we waded through attacks
of ofwhoopingcough, measles,mum
chicken-pox, diphtheria, different
fevers,-had all sorts of colds, too,
to contend with. After years OF ex-
perience, l can truthfully say the
''toddies" ought to be permanently
retired; they've had their day.
l was old-fashioned enough to
believe in hot stews, and was never
too tired to brew for the youngsters
who had snowballed, or coasted
themselves sick, a vinegar stew,
and make it lawful good with but
ter and sugar, though often slipping
in a small pepper pod.
These vinegar toddies were good
remedies for colds, in severe ones
we found relief in strong pennyroy'
al tea. By making the teas strong
three or four tablespoonsful suffice
The sick cannot swallow a great
quantity of slop.
Hoarseness, chilly sensations and
coughs in young people should bt
looked after in time. Every mother
knows the urgency for speedy work
when croup-pneumonia sets in, and
the disease is often conqueror, when
if taken time, a little care and 6
| simple remedy were all that was
needed. We felt just as much pre-
iudice against certain drugs as the
whisky toddies, therefore sought
and found many simple remedis
| which, with the aid of good food
warm clothing and bedding brough
those boys up to manhood withou
having to resort to the brandy bot
tie, or very often to the medicine
chest.
Among my friends I number eev
| eral "mush and milk" boys, who il
their sboyhood" period never knew
the flavor of hot toddies stronge
than red pepper, pennyroal, ant
| ginger ones. They have grown III
into splendid manhood, and do no
seem to be conscious that they neet

/ such wonderful cures. The WIS
