THE LATEST JAPANESE DISASTER.

Map Showing the Location of the Flooded
District.
China and Japan seem fated to astonish
mankind by regularly recurring calalnities
in which the waste of human life is so enor-
nous as to make the Johnstown food, the
Irish famine and the American civil war ap-
pear as small things. In the great Tapping
rebellion 100000 lives were lost; at one
time sc, 600 prisoners were beheaded, or more
than the killed in any battle of the late war;
In the Chinese floods they number the dead
by millions instead of hundreds as we do,
and the loss by their last famine was more
than twice the population of Ireland. In the
fertile districts of those countries people are
crowded SO thickly that natural convulsion
destroys them as we destroy ants or flies.

Many women are generally supposed to be-
entirely helpless in the taking care of their
money matters. But why should they not
be? How many girls at school learn how to
keep accounts? And if they did study the
art at school they are not allowed the benefit
of putting what they learn into practice dur
ing their school days. for the reason few Of
them are encouraged to do it or have regular
allowances of money A father, of large
family Of daughters said that he did not give
his children allowances; he did not like the
idea, as he thought it made them feel like
boarders in his house; he preferred that they
should come to him when theY wanted money
and ask for it. very pretty sentiment, but
in these practical days it would be better if
every girl had fixed allowance for dress,
and were made to keep her accounts in the
regular business way.
There are numbers of women doing busi-
ness of various kinds who did not know how
to make out a bill when they first started out
in trade, and who keep their accounts accord
ing to method Of their own, an incomplete
one, and there are many little sums paid out
or received that never get into their account
books at all. They manage to add up the
larger sums they receive and spend; but the
tntricacies Of bookkeeping are unknown to
them, and frequently at the end Of the year
they are surprised to find that they have
spent more than they have received. Just
where the fault is they do not know, and so
they stumble on blindly.
In the matter Of investments, too, women
generally show little judgment Many Of
them have q wild desire to own land, and
will grasp Of the opportunity Of buying lots
at low price with the expectation Of real
ing fortune in few months, or years at
most, BY ,hs rise in!value. In many instances

RACHAEL LSTILLWAGGON-sARAH ROTHSCHILp
In Chicago, for instance, The Herald's re-
porters have hunted down some very inter-
esting old folks, including Augustine Deodat
Taylor, aged "a, and Sarah Rothschild, aged
101-these two the Oldest in the city. There,
as elsewhere, old women are more numerous
than old men.
Mrs. Rothschild was born May %, l7ss, in
Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany, and to this day
knows no language save German and He
brew. She married Joseph Rothschild. and
of her two daughters the oldest, Mrs. Simon
Raber, of Milwaukee, came to America soon
after marriage. Thirty-nine years ago Mr..
Rothschild died and then the widow and her
remaining daughter followed the other to
America and finally located in Chicago. The
second daughter, Mrs. Levi Lebolt, is a grand
mother, yet the old lady is still in firm health
and active habits and bids fair to live many
years longer. The family have prospered in
Chicago, and SO the old lady has nothing to
trouble her. She is a devout and orthodox
lsraelite and observes the sacred days Of the
race with extreme care, the feasts quite as
fully as the fasts She las all the old Ger
man ways, likes glass of Rhine wine and
partakes freely of it, is fond of music and
good company and eats good food with rel
ish. Her particular abhorrence is Napoleon
Bonaparte, and she still relates with some
thing like indignation the miseries of Ger
many during his campaigns.
The physiologists have not been very sue
cessful in discovering the causes of prolonged
life as they seem negative rather than posi-
tive II you are not killed or rapidly worn
out, you will live a long time-thats about
all there is in it. And so it is with Mrs.
Rothschild. She has never been seriously
sick and never needed the attention of doc
tor. On one point all old people agree-they
did not fret All were of cheerful natures.
Heredity, of course, has great deal to do
with it, Therefore, first get good constitu-
tion from your parents; then take comfort
and don't fret, and your chances are of the
best
At Flushing, L. l., lives Mrs. Rachel Still
Wagon, who reached her 1O4th birthday few
days since. She is the daughter Of Stephen
and Hannah Acker, of Tarrytown, N. Y. at
the time of her birth, and her life record il
much like that of other very old women-that
is, she was naturally cheerful, lived fairly
well, took great deal of exercise and had no
accident or serious sickness When 10 years
old she went to New York city to live. and
saw the metropolis grow from Canal street
to Harlem. In 1S41 she married David Still
Wagon, carpenter, and seven children were
born to them, Of whom a son and two daugh-
ters only survive.
The remarkable factabout Mrs Stillwaggon
y that she looks far more youthful than old
ladies who are really more vigorous than she.
She looks at least twenty years younger
than she is, but is afflicted somewhat with
rheumatism and walks with difficulty. Her
light is much impaired and hsr hearing
slightly SO, but her mind Is clear as ever.

Train the Girls.

FL EzSlu CIl0 Ntlrl6s
When girl is ten years old she should be
given household duties to perform according
to her size and strength, for which sum Of
money should be paid her weekly. She needs
little pocket money, and the knowledge
how to spend it judiciously, which can SO
well be given by mother to her little girl
She should be required to furnish part Of
her wardrobe with this money. For instance,
Il she gets ten cents a week, she should prr-
chase all her stockings or all her gloves, as
her mother may decide; and doing this un.
der the mothers supervision. she will soon
learn to trade with Judgment and economy.
OF course the mother will sec to- it that the
sum is sufficient to do this, and yet leave
tride for the child to spend as she pleases
This viii supply q healthy stimulus; it will
give her proper ambition and pride In her
labor, and the ability to use money properly.
A. she grows older these household duties
should be increased. with the proportionate
increassof money paid for the peri formance
OF them. We know Of q lady who divided

He Got 1t,

Among the passengers on a western train
yesterday was woman very much over
dressed, accompanied by bright looking
nurse girl and a self willed, tyrannical bov
of about three years
The boy aroused the Indignation Of the
passengers by his continual shrieks and kicks
and screams and his viciousness toward his
patient nurse. He tore her bonnet, scratched
her hands, and finally spat in her face with
out word of remonstrance from the mother.
Whenever the nurse manifested any firm
ness the mother chided her sharply. Finally
the mother composed herself for a nap, and
about the time the boy had slapped the nurse
for the fifth time wasp came sailing in and
few on the window of the nurses seat The
boy at once tried to catch it.
The nurse caught his hand and said coax-
ingly:
Harry mustn't touch. Bug will bite
Harry''S
Harry screamed savagely and began to kick
and pound the nurse.
The mother, without opening her eyes or
lifting her head, cried out sharply:
"Why do you tease that child SO, Mary?
Let him have what he wants at once"
But, ma'am, it's a''-
Let him have it, I say"
Thus encouraged, Harry clutched at the
wasp and caught it. The scream that fol-
lowed brought tears of joy to the passengers
eyes.
The mother awoke again.
Mary" she cried, slet him have it!''
Mary turned in her seat and said confus-
edly: @s y
He's got it, ma'am!''- Boston Journal.

Among the important additions to the army
Of religious workers in the Ohio valley the
new editor of The Western Christian Advo-
cate, one of the leading publications Of the
Methodist church, DR.. David H. Moore, oc-
cupies conspicuous place. He has now ar
rived from Colorado, where he lately was
chancellor of the University Of Denver, and,
beginning with the issue of Sept. Is, The Ad-
vocate will be under his personal editorial
supervision.
Dr. Moore was born at Athens, O., in Sep
tember, 1885, He was the only son of Hon. E.
II. Moore, one Of the trustees of the Ohio
university, at which institution the son was
educated, and from which he was graduated
in 1880, receiving his masters degree three
years later. He was converted in boyhood.

jor and lieutenant colonel until the fall of
Atlanta.
After the war he returned to the ministry
and occupied charges in Ohio, at Columbus,
GAINESVILLE, Delaware and Cincinnati In
1875 he was elected president of Wesleyan
college, Cincinnati, and made successful
and popular administration of that institu-
tion, though greatly handicapped by fnan-
cial difficulties In 1880 he identified himself
with the pioneer educational work Of the
church, and became president of Colorado
seminary and chancellor of the University
of Denver.
At the last meeting of the book committee
he was unanimously elected editor of The
Advocate, to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Rev. DR.. Bayliss. This was against
his personal desire, but after the choice Of the
committee was announced and made known
to him he responded, in the language of a
patriot of 1850: "If the summons is impera-
tive, am soldier"

TWO OLD RESIDENTS.

They Are Women Who Have Passed by
the Century Line.
There isn't doubt in the mind of any who
have Investigated carefully that the average
length of human life is increasing; and it is
certain that in some sections of the United
States and Canada it has increased very
greatly in the last fifty years. Nova Scotia,
for instance, has many very old people
and the Piedmont counties of South Carolina,
especially around York and Spartanburg,
are thickest with people of 80 or 80 years.
And public interest in the matter has been so
aroused of late that one may say there is q
perfect epidemic of very old people, Jour-
nalists have hunted them out and given the
particulars of their lives, and Psychologists
have sought eagerly to learn the causes of
such longevity.

A ScaIping investigation.

DENVER, June 27.-George L. Rhodes,
Assistant General Passenger Agent of the
Rock Island, was in the city to-day to
investigate the charges made by
the Alton that the Rock Island
had in its offices in Denver
400 Chicago scalpers' tickets. Mr..
Rhodes made personal visit to the
scalpers, and found that their stock of
tickets on all lines was very low, only a
few being held. He followed up his in
vestigation by offering premium of 700
per cent. of all tickets over the Rock
Island found in the hands of scalpers
in excess of six, the number he dis
covered. He further asserts that he be-
lieves the statement of the Alton is only
a bluff, and no cut will be made. Scalpers
here deny that there are any Rock Island
tickets in the market, and say that the
stock they were enabled to lay in months
ago has been exhausted. 1t is learned
that Atoms contemplated move was
known here week ago, but was held
back for effect.

Our Oakland contemporary, lying from
it's opening note, winds up its article by
saying "The dying Of the wild vines is
"the most remarkable and alarming
ching about this disease, because the
wild vines have hitherto fourlshed
"there in spite of the supposed unfayor-
liable climate"
As, within the whole metes and bounds
of Southern California, not single wild
vine has persisted, it will be seen how
cratuitous and malignant is this SANDER.
The region embraced in the rsvages OF
the NAL nero comprises at the most very
limited purview. 1t has never assumed
ANYTHING like the magnitude which the
late frosts have chronicled in Napa and
Sopoma counties. 1t was a very disa-
greeable visitant, undoubtedly, but it
has been met and conquered, and will ba
heard of no more. 1t has involved a
very limited replanting, and the sum
total of the injury has not been circum'
stance, taking equal areas, to the draw
back which the French vineyards have
suffered through the phylloxera.
The animus of the Oakland paper car
be understood. All the northern ano
central counties are insanely jealous o
the progress and prosperity OF Southern
California. Why the Fresno EIPoSato
should Join in the senseless crusade, is
mystery which is beyond our solving. Ii
spite of envious journals, north ant
south, and at intermediate points, moth
ing can check the imperial progress o
Los Angeles county. A hundred source
of wealth are being steadily exploited
here and this city, already the larges
railway center of the Pacific Coast, IS nov
about to see two additional transcontl
mental railways centefing here. Th
wine and raisin grape are but incident
of our development, and the delightful
panorama of growth inevitable here vii
be unrolled under midsummer temper
atures that will make all Californian

or otherwise, we're cast in with that OF tn

INDIANAPOLIS, June 27.-The Journals
Kokomo correspondent reports that ON
last Tuesday, twelve miles south OF
there, Mrs. Henry Jones had born to her
twin girls, inseparably connected at the
hips and lower abdomen. The navital
organs are connected, except the
spinal column, which is continuous from
one end to the other. Each breathes
and pulsates quite independently of the
other, and both are perfectly formed and
have the free use of their limbs. The
infants are apparently as hearty as any
children of their age.
II is now thought the murderers can
not be captured by force as the mountain
side affords numberless hiding places
and strategy will have to be used. The
best proposition now seems to be to offer
a reward and thus to enlist the half
breeds on the reservation in bringing the
men to the officers. The last
advices from Duncan are to the
effect that the railroad company's men
are all armed. Superintendent Dickinson
and the Governor will agree upon a plan
to protect the railroad property and en-
ployees.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-06-28
Gladstone on Irish Union.

LONDON, June 27.-Gladstone has an
article in the Nineteenth Century en-
titled, "Plain Speaking on Irish Union"
In it he says: "Sir Richard Webster, in
examining Mr.. William O'Brien before
the Parnell Commission, implied that
grave charge would be proved about
certain Irishmen, if it could be shown
that they regarded English power as
alien. 1 should like to have asked Mr..
O'Brien whether the Irish, 80 far as
known, regarded the action of the Union
as possessed of the same moral authority
as the laws against theft and murder,
or as possessed of any moral authority at
all. l do not doubt that O'Brien would
have answered that they regard it as an
act Of force to which Ireland was under,
not as moral, but only as prudential
obligation to which to conform. There may
be immortality in a miscalculated resist
ance even to immoral laws, but such re-
sistance is in itself not immoral. The
question is whether the worship of the
act of union is piety or superstition.
