Washington was inaugurated first president

remembered the mourning at the time of his
death perfectly.

and married jesse Voss in 1907. Joshua
Revolution, starting for the front just before
the battle Of Lexington. The gun he carried
is still in possession OF the family.
There IS Hungarian peasant named Macy
Ference, who Is said to be 120 years old.
When child he was delicate, but at 10 de-
veloped into a very muscular person. At 20
he fell in love with the daughter of an inn
keeper, who Tilted him for his best friend
This incident kept him bachelor for 100
years. This Is probably the longest record OF
any one man living the life of woman hater.
At "a he went to the war of the first CO.
slition. He was with the Archduks Charles
at Wetzler, and was one Of the conquered at
Marengo and Hohenlinden and at Wagram
At Aspern he was with the victors. At Leip-
sic he got bullet In his leg and three in his
hat. He often saw the Archduke Charles,
and saw Napoleon once.
His habits are simple. He has smoked
three pipefuls Of strong tobacco every day
for 104 years. he is allowed ten cents day
by those who care for him for tobacco and
beer. Macy is quite fond Of wine and beer;
indeed. he is inclined to dissipation, and it is
probable that this is the reason of his limited
allowance for fear that he may injure his
prospects Of living to a ripe old age.
Another centenarian whose statement OF
her age seems to have been generally accept

The accordion pleating comes into play eff
fectually with these lounging gowns, and one
of the prettiest, made in fame and black
printed silk had the whole skirt in accordion
plaits, with a cascade Of lace down the front
A new make of sleeve is loose and large, and
hangs TO the waist only, ending in bow
One of the loveliest specimens Of tea gown,
however, just brought from Paris, is Of apple
green, trimmed with wide gallon, embroider-
ed in gold, pink mauve, and greens Of several
shades in faint, subdued tones; band of this
went round the waist, down the sides and
bordered the sleeves.
Many tea gowns are also made in clear
muslin, with insertion let in perpendicularly
to bodice and skirt alike; green ribbon of
some kind is generally introduced upon them.
Little tea jackets of the same nature will be
much worn as the season advances, for tea
jackets are among the most comfortable gar
ments Of the year.
The boudoir gown shown in the foregoing
cut and named the Bernhardt, because it was
first modelled for the celebrated actress of
that name, is very effective in appearance
The over dress and train, made in white
lampas are lined with buttercup satin and
bordered with a ruching Of lace. The loose
under robe is in white gaure over yellow
satin foundation The sleeves and collar are
ornamented with yellow velvet ribbon, en-
broidered with gold The gold gallon girdle
is fastened with Byzantine CLASP

New Tea Gowns and Dressing Gowns.

Tea gowns and dressing gowns show much
novelty this season. A charming exemplif-
cation Of several new points was a combina-
ton Of green and white, the trimming white,
applied as girdle, falling in long ends in
front, and as frillings carried down the front,
the edges needle-run with green, while the
gown itself, cut loose and flowing, opened
with the edge worked in guipure over silk,
which fell over white front The empire
style has crept even into tea gowns, and one
made with rounded yoke in gray cashmere
was trimmed with white ribbon, watered
and embroidered in gray and gold 1t was
made with a rounded yoke, the sash dimin-
ishing the length of the waist.
Sleeves are becoming more and more i'm
portapt, and one OF the newest tea gowns has
a hanging sleeve in points falling to the hem
of the skirt formed OF rows Of lace; the belt
richly embroidered. One gown, in light
blue tone, was lined with primrose cashmere,
which shone through. It was comfortable
shape, cut all in one, and easily slipped on.
The frilings on many Of these garments,
made in silk or soft wool, had been not only
pinked but the edge worked over with silk
In sort OF herring bone. The fronts are
often tucked horizontally.

A Dreaded Task.

A Dreaded Task.
A task never grows smaller, or lighter by
sitting down and lamenting that 1t must be
done, and there is an old maxim that teaches
us that "a thing begun Is half done" The
following, told in Golden Days, illustrates
that ''He doubles task who breads it,"
A farmer friend Of mine has q boy Of Il
years, named Billy, who is like good many
other boys Of my acquaintance. His heart is
heavy, AMI a cloud Immediately overspreads
his mental horizon when he is asked to make
himself useful.
Billy" said Mr.. H, one day when
was out to the farm, why don't you go to
work on that little patch of potatoesa"
'Aw,n whiued Billy, there's SO many OF
them taters I'm never get them hoed."
'You won't If you don't begin soon"
II hate to begin"
"How are you ever going to do the work
If you don't beginl'
''Well, I'll begin pretty soon"
His father walked away and I heard Billy
exclaim, in a tone indicating great mental
distress:
plague on them old tatersl 1t makes me
sick to think about them"
"Why do you think about them then?"
said, laughingly.
I've got TO-" he replied, dolefully, with a
sorrowful shake of the head 1--WE been
thinking about them ever since got up this
morning"
"How long, now, Billy, win it really take
you to hoe thems'
"Well, at least an hour"
"And you've been distressed, about it ever
since you got up!"
tWeIl I hate TO hoe tatarS -
"And you've been up httlet more than
five hoursf'
"Well, Up. Billy began tosgrin, took
up his hoe and said, by jiHg, l never
thought Of that"
And the potatoes were hoed in sjust forty
minutes.

Sharply raped at the flowers door;
Little brooks, with q snvery gush,
Leaped away TO the sea once moro.
How the drowsy old trees frightened up
Peeped the daisies in caps AID frills:
While the crocus and buttercup
Smiled a welcome from wales and hills
How 1t danced DER the ground In its glee,
To the ripple of music shrill!
How it glistened on bush and tree,

OBITUARY..

Died in Hyde Park December 10, after a
short illness of ten days, Mrs. Eunce (Gregg)
Bodfish. Mrs. Bodfish has been widow for
twelve years. She leaves three children one
son and two daughters both residents of this
town, Mrs. Edward Lurvey and Mrs. VIM
Osgood. She has always been an exemplary
Christian, ready at all times to do all she
could for the cause of Christ, ever lending a
helping hand in aid to the sick and needy. A
large circle of relatives and friends are left to
mourn her loss. The deceaseds age was 81
years, 10 months and % days when she
passed to the other shore. Those who are
left for little while will mourn for her not as
those who have no hope, but in hope of meet
ing in that Country where the inhabitants
shall never say, am sick. Rest, faithful one,
rest, until Jesus shall gather the Nations,
then the beautiful life lived here, lived for
those who loved thee for who knew thee true,
for the Heaven that smiled above thee and
the good that you could do, then with those
whose sufferings thou hast shared, whose
sicknesses thou hast alleviated, thou shalt
sing the praises of Him who hast done all
things well. f. W. W.

A FEARFUL NAVAL CALAMITY
The hurricane at Apia, Samoan Is
lands, last week, must have been one
of extraordinary violence. Every YES
sci in the harbor was driven ashore
except the British man-of-war Calliope.
The United States loses the Trenton
and Vandalia, and the Nipsic went
ashore, suffering much damage. The
German men-of-war, three in number,
were also wrecked. 1t is not often
that war ships, which are always
manned, encounter such
disasters, but in this case the storm
caught them at a great disadvantage,
in port and at anchor. Under such
it is very difficult to
claw off from a lee shore. 1t is sad
to learn that serious loss of life oc-
CURED. The following is a record of
the officers and men lost: Eber-cap-
tain, all the other officers except one,
and 76 men. Vandalia-the captain,
four officers and 40 men. Nipsic-
seven men. Adler-altogether fifteen
persons. Mataafa sent number of
men who rendered splendid aid in try
ing to float the Olga.
