Although a Centenarian She Still Man.
 ages Large Business Interests.
 A Manchester Union man in the course of his travels picked up reminiscence of ye olden time in the form of partial history of lady born and bred upon the rugged hillsides of the old Granite State, who, although rounding out the last year of century since she first saw the light, is noted in the section where she now resides as person of rare business ability and sagacity.
 Deborah Ball Powers first saw the light of day in that portion of the town of Hebron known IS Tenny Hill, in the year 1790. The neighborhood where she was born was prosperous farming com munity in her early days, peopled mostly by families by the names of Crosby and Ball, and the late Dr. Ordway, one of the founders of the well-known lumber firm of Brown Lumber Company at Whitefeld, was raised in that imme- diate vicinity. But the glory of Tenny Hill has long since departed, and not a single --c.s:ideut now claims it as a home, altiIvs,zral in later years Mrs. Powers has purchased the old hon stead and will retain it as long as she lives.
 Years ago Mir. Powers, together with his family, moved to Lansingburg. N. Y., and engaged in the manufacture of oil cloth carpettlg, that industry then being in it's infancy, and he was one of the first to engage in the business. Just after getting under way the entire plant was swept away by fire, placing the fam ily in straitened circumstances, which were further intensified by the loss of the husband and father, who was burned to death. It was then that the remark able executive ability of Mrs. Powers came into full play.
 Rising equal to the occasion, in com pany with her two sons, she rebuilt the works, and resumed the business of making the oil cloth carpeting, and the same is carri ed on to this day under the firm name of D. Powers & Sons.
 The products of their manufactory have a wide reputation for excellence, a fact due to the personal supervision of this energetic lady. She is received as one of the leading citizens of Lansing burg, and is always foremost in both public and private enterprises She, at the present time, holds the position of president of one of the largest banking institutions in Lansingburg, and, to- gether with her two sons, owns a con- trolling interest in the street railway.
 She was the founder of the Old Ladies' Home in Lansingburg, where she maintains ten inmates at her own expense.
 While engaged in these works of char ity in her adopted State, she never for gets the home of her nativity, to which her last visit was made when she was ninety-four years old. At her own ex- pense she built fence around the Hebron Cemetery, and placed fund of $1,0OO, the income of which is to be used for the purpose of keeping the cemetery grounds in shape. She still retains her mental faculties to re- markable degree.

4 Duck Of a Boat.

A boat has been invented for tho use of duck-hunters which, it is clalmed, is perfect device as regards caso of management and the high rate of speed attainable. Those who have sculled a boat in pursuit of crippled birds in the ordinary way are aware of the great strain upon the wrist which this method of propulsion entails. In tho craft above mentioned the oar is thrust through the middle and bottom of the boat in a contrivance not unlike a centerboard. The leverage obtained is enormous, and the inventor claims that a small boy, through the use of his de- vice, can beat professional oarsman in a she'll

Beware the House Fly.

The house fly begins life fully grown, mature and ready for business. There are no little flies of the same species, the small ones occasionally observed being different in kind from the larger ones. The house fly does not bite nor pierce the skin, but gathers it's food by a comb or rake, or brush-liko tongue, with which it is able to scrape the var nish from covers of books, and 1t thus tickles the skin of persons upon which it alights to feed upon the precipitation. Although the house fly has no sting it is a pest and dangerous one at that. It is by naturea scavenger, and is vehicle bywhich contagious diseases are spread. It poisons sores and wounds, and may carry deadly virus from decaying or gaGic matter into food.

England VIII Not Take Canada's Bek
ngerent Advice

England VIII Not Take Canada's BeL
ngerent Advice
OTTAWA (Ont.), August 27th-Sir John
Thompson, Minister of Justice, has re-
turned from England, where he went 10
lay the Canadian case in connection with
the Behring Sea question before the British
Government and is now in conference
with Sir John Mcdonald at Riviere du
Loup. Regarding his mission he stated
his return TO Canada was hastened by
the important official business in connec-
ton with the Behring Sea question, which
necessitated his recent visit to London.
That the position of pending negotiations
between Great Britain and the United
States is far from satisfactory, 1t is not diff
ficult to discover from the way in which
the matter is referred TO by members of the
cabinet.
Sir John Thompson returned not more
hopeful of settlement than when he left
for England. He says England will not
recede from the position she has taken to
protect the rights of her Canadian colony.
II appears that the Canadian Government
was opposed to having the matter referred
to arbitration. fearing that the interests OF
Canada might be sacrificed where a great
nation like the United States was the con-
testing party, and urged the British Gov
eminent to at once proclaim the right Of
Canadian sealing vessels to enter Behring
Sea, and insist upon the United States re-
imbursing the owners of the seized sealers
for loss sustained. 1t wss largely due to
this fact that Sir John Thompson went to
England, where he found the British Gov
ernment had fully determined to propose
arbitration as means of settlement, in
the absence of any satisfactory under
standing being arrived at with the United
States.
