A funeral and burial took place at
Newton some days ago which attracted
more than the usual amount OF atten-
ton on account of the size Of the person
who had died Miss Rosella Kibler died
at the house of her father, John Q. Kib-
Ter, prominent jasper county farmer
At the time of her death she was nine
teen years of age and weighed oOo
pounds, being without doubt one OF the
largest persons known, considering her
age. She is supposed to have died OF
pneumonia. probably coupled with fatty
degeneration Her growth has been
most marked during the last FIVE years.
Being a very modest girl her size was
q source OF worry and anxiety to her, so
much so that three or four years previous
to her death she could not be induced to
accompany her parents to the neighbor-
ing village where they did their market
ing.
Some idea of her size may be formed
from the fact that when living she was
unable to pass through an ordinary door
without turning sideways. Wien she
died it was necessary to have a coffin
specially constructed The coffin as con
structed measured @ feet in length, .
feet in width and 81 inches in depth,
and when the coffin was removed from
the house it was necessary TO take Out
the side of the room. The strength oi

English Thrift Shown In the Care of Laces.
The fancy that obtains among fash
ionable Englishwomen for the making
and mending of fine laces has not only
thrift to commend it, but is also an evil
dence OF their having had aristocratic
grandmammas. The sewing on lace is
an essentially feminine as well as an
essentially coquettish work, for it
brings out beautiful taper fingers to
the best advantage, and yet it can be
dropped at any minute to listen to a
sweet nothing and be as quickly picked
up again to assist in hiding blush.
How many people know that in the
day when rich laces formed the chief
decoration of costume even queens
were careful of them9
An old picture of Henrietta Maria by
CIaud lie Fevre shows just how highly
this queen appreciated the worth of the
handmade lace that formed her cuffs
Over each was drawn a cuff of very,
very thin muslin, through which the
lace could be seen, although it was per
fectly preserved from dust and grease.
The unhappy queen lives on the can
vas an example of thrift that some
Englishwomen today might well imi-
tate. New York Sun.

Bathlnu IN the Rain.

"A rainy day. said the proprietor Of
popular salt water swimming bath,
makes very great difference with bust
ness. though we have never had u day
on which we had absolutely no bathers
A man can't get any wetter in the bath
on u rainy day than he could on dry
day, but the greater Inconvenience Of
getting here in stormy weather keeps
many away, and such days are apt to be
cooler, too. though the temperature Of
the water remains the same
at takes three or four days Of con-
tinued colder or warmer weather to
make a difference of deg, in the
temperature of the water, On fair days
the condition of the atmosphere has a
decided effect on business; with the
thermometer the same we have many
more bathers on close, humid day than
on day when the air is brisk and brac-
ing, Some bathers, however, come regu-
larly during the bathing season, what
ever the weather may be, We have one
who has come every day, rain or shine,
for twenty eight years. New York

Dimensions OF the Kimberley Mine.

When first opened the Kimberley
mine had an area on the surface Of
about fourteen acres, and diamonds
were found only within this area. Be-
yond the well defined limits of the mine
the black shales Of the subcarbonifer-
Gus era occur, and rs the mines were
opened deeper this material fell in and
greatly hindered the progress of min
ing. This shale was called by the min
ers reef" The reef continued to as
sumo an angle of rest until the original
surface area had been increased to
thirty acres, when a depth of $50 feet
had been reached in the mine.
Had this been better understood in
the first instance different methods of
mining would have been followed, and
the mine, which was worked on the
open quarry plan, would have been
worked, as it is now made compulsory
to do, by outside shafts and headings.
The mine was first opened In 1871, and
by 1888 the amount of material actually
taken out was over 10000, 900 tons,
which yielded 1880, 900 carats of dia-
monds, which were sold for over $780,
900, 900. Engineering Magazine.
