Curiosity Aroused.

"Goin' fur, mister"
The question was asked by a long-nosed,
thin-lipped man with pointed chin whiskers,
a SLOUGH hat and a hungry expression of
countenance. He was resting his elbows
on the seat in front of him, which seat was
occupied by passenger in gray checked
suit.
The passenger addressed turned partly
around, took a look at his questioner, and
sized him up at once.
Eyes, am going to Nashville" he replied,
"down in Tennessee. My business there is

Seven Score of Years.
The Extreme Old Age of of Some Southern
California Indians.


California Indians.
The early Inhabitants of Southern Califor.
MIA, according to the statement of 81. q.
Bancroft and other reports, were found to be
| living in Spartan conditions as to temperance
and training, and in a highly moral condition
in consequence of which they had uncOm-
mon physical endurance and contempt for
luxury. This training in abstinence and
hardship, with temperance in diet, combined
with the climate to produce the astonishing
longevity to be found here, says Charles Dud-
ley Warner in Harper's Magazine. Contrary
to the customs of most other tribes of Indians,
their aged were the care of the community.
DR.. W. Winder, of San Diego, is quoted az
saying that in a visit to Ell Cajon valley some
thirty years ago he was taken TO house in
which the aged persons were cared for
There were half dozen who had reached an
extreme age. Some were unable to move,
their bony frames being seemingly ancbylos-
ed. They were old, wrinkled and blear-eyed;
their skin was hanging in leathery folds
about their wthered limbs some had hair
as white as snow, and had seen some seven
score years others, still able TO crawl, but
30 aged as to be unable to stand, went slow.
ly about on their hands and knees, their limbs
being atteDuated and withered. The organs
of special sense had in many nearly lost all
activity some generations back. Some had
lost the use of their limbs for more than q
decade or generation; but the organs of life
and the great sympathetic" still kept up
their automatic functions, not recognizing the
fact, and surprisingly Indifferent to it, that
the rest of the body had ceased to be of any
use generation or more in the past. DR..
Palmer has photograph (Which I have SEEM
of squaw whom he estimates to be one
hundred and twenty-six years old. When he
visited her he saw her put six watermelons
in blanket, tie it up, and carry it on her
back for two miles. He is familiar with In
dian customs and history, and careful cross
examination convinced him that her infor-
nation of old customs was not obtained by
tradition. She was conversant with tribal
habits she had seen practiced, such as the
cremation of the dead, which the mission
fathers had compelled the Indians to relin-
quish. She had seen the Indians punished
by the fathers with foggings for persisting in
the practice of cremation.
At the mission of San Tomas, in Lower
California, is still living an Indian "a photo
graph of whom DR.. Remondino shows,) bent
and wrinkled, whose age is Computed at one
hundred and forty years. Although blind
and naked he is still active, and daily goes
down the beech and along the beds of the
creeks in search of drift wood, making it his
daily task to gather and carry to camp

Al E,: TIA 6:pL;I, / Hu;otli.

A proposal came to a pretty Maine school
teacher in very novel manner. While at
her fathers home in Sidney, few years ago,
she wrote her name and address upon an egg,
which she secured in all its warm freshness
from the maternal nest. The egg went to
market, and the fact that it bore an inscrip-
ton was forgotten. In the course of weeks
letter came to the schoolma am, and to her
amazement she learned that that particular
egg had Matched strange results.
The son of a big commission merchant in q
Massachusetts city had seen the name and
had written to say that "if the young lady
was as pretty as her name he would like to
form more intimate acquaintance" With
the characteristic modesty of the Maine
schoolma' am, our heorine discouraged the
advances of the strangely acquired admirer.
However, he was persistent, and came down
to Maine. 1t is to be supposed that he found
his ideal, for an engagement and wedding
followed in quick succession.

A Witty Answer Brought Success

A young newspaper man who last spring
found himself in Whitman county, Washing
ton, 500 miles from his base of supplies and
"broke" hired out to farmer. He was set
to ploughing with pair of horses, but both
man and beasts being new to the business,
the burrows looked as if they were this result
of an earthquake rather than OF design, so
crooked and zigzag were they. At the close
of the day the farmer rather testify criticised
the Job. The newspaper man felt that his
doom was sealed, but mustered courage to re-
ply: 81 know the rows are rather crooked,
but the sun was exceedingly hot to-day, and
it warped them" The answer turned away
the farmers wrath, and instead of being dis
charged, the newcomer was given much
easier and pleasanter job, and is now the far
mer's son-in-law.

A Cowboys Compliment.

Here is very neat little story, from the
St. Louis Republic, illustrative of the fact
that even the wild and woolly West can pro-
duce a natural-born Chesterfield upon occa-
sion. At party given last winter was a
bashful cowboy, who had not been in civilized
society for several years. He was a good
looking fellow, and one of the young ladies
present kindly took an interest in him and
tried to make him feel at ease. He fell des-
perately in love at once and the hostess no.
ticing this encouraged him all she could. In
leaving the house the young lady who had
taken friendly interest in the cowboy forgot
her overshoes, and the hostess told the young
Lochinvar from the plains that he might re-
turn them to the girl if he wished.
The berder leaped at the chance, and pre-
scented himself in due time at the young lady
house. She was surprised to see him but
greeted him cordially. "You forgot your
overshoes last night" said he awkwardly,
handing her the package.
She thanked him and opened it. "Why,
there's only one oVershoe here" she exclaim-
ed.
"Yes. Miss" said the blushing vacquer,
earnestly. "Pll bring round the other one
tomorrow, and l only wish Miss, that you
were a centipede."

Between the North and South.

The Mason and Dixon line runs along the
parallel of latitude thirty-nine degrees and
forty-three minutes, twenty six degrees and
three minutes separating Pennsylvania
from Maryland. 1t was drawn by two
distinguished English surveyors, Charles
Mason and jeremiah Dixon, who
began their work in 1853 and fin
ished it in 1857. The line is marked by
stones set at interval of five miles, each hay
ing the arms of Lord Baltimore engraved
upon one side and those of the Penn family
upon the other. Besides these large stones
set to mark each fifth mile, smaller stones
were set at the end of each
mile, those having letter P en-
graved upon one side and letter M on
the other these intended as initial letters of
Pennsylvania and Maryland. All of these
stones were engraved in England. The
Mason and Dixon line was not the line Sc
parating the free and the slave States. The
line settled on in the compromise of 1920
was thiriy-six degrees, thirty minutes. The
Mason and Dixon line as shown above, runs
along the parallel of thirty-nine degrees,
forty-three minutes.

THE HARTFORD
Hedge and Wire Fence Co.
A Properly Planted and Cared-fOr
Hedge is the Cheapest, Best and Pref
test Fence I'm the World.

We claim the following advantages for our
Hedge: 1t is the cheapest fence made. 1t is the
most lasting. Winds do not blow it down.
Floods do not wash it away. 1t does not decay.
Stock cannot rub it down. IT protects itself 1t
stops sheep dogs and trespassers 1t takes but
little room. You can cultivate close to it. 1t
lasts for generations. No new material needed
for repairs. 1t is ornamental to the farm. 1t is
mule high. bull strong and pig tight.
The farmer prepares the ground and works the
plants as he would corn. We do the rest and
guarantee good fence, keeping it in order for
you afterwards at trifling cost.
Usage Orange Hedge Fences are no expert
ment. There are many hedges in Pennsylvania
and Maryland which were planted rs years ago
and show no signs of decay. Figure up the
cost of post and rail fence, estimating its dura-
ton, and contrast it with the prettier and more
durable fence will give you, at only Sl.25 a
rod and you will readily see which is the cheap
er. The easy terms of payment we offer are and
other great advantage. Twenty-Five cents per
Rod at the time of setting the plants, 25 cents
per Rod when re-setting is done in 1891, 25 cents
per Rod when re-setting or side-trimming in
done in 1892 and 80 cents per Rod when and is
proportion as the FLASHING is done. For cir
