SHE SAW WATERLOO.
The Last NJ an is Getting Scarce, aat. Nov
Comes the Last Womaa

People frequently hear about Old Water
loo men. but Waterloo women are un-
doubtedly rare. There exists, however, in
France a Nine. de Variola, who uursed
wounded soldiers on the great Belgian
battlefield. and traversed the historic plain
on the night following the memorable fight
which sealed the fate of the hc,t Napo-
leon. Nine. Gle Variola lives al Nan tua.
in the department of the Ain.
She is 9S years old, having been born in
March, 1894. Her father, NJ. ,rJoL, who
had bsen employed in the household of
Queen Marie Antoinette, emisr ted to
Belgium during the great revn'u In1, and
bought the demense nea- st. Amaud.
which contained within its Enclosure the
Bry Windmill, one of the old landmarks
of Waterloo. NINE de Variola, who still
retains all her faculties, relates that on
June II, 1915. her father took her and Ter
sister to the windmill.
While they were there Napoleon entered
with an aide de-camp aud began to survey
the country round through u telescope.
Seeing the girls he told NJ Carpen to take
taem away as Il great battle was 10 be
fought near the plXce on the morrow.
Nevertheless the family rem lined in the
windmill and saw sone. of the fighting
next day. Balls and bullets fell on the
roof of the building, and toward evening
party of prussianS entered the piSce, one
of them-au officer, remarking that !. was
all over with the French.
Shortly afterwards this officer returned
to the feIl of battle, and had not gone far
before his legs we e shattered by cannon
ball At night Mr.. Carpan went ont With
his children aud assisted the wounded,
who were mostly French. Nine de Vari-
ola's husband was a Spaniard, who was
once wealthy, but VINO died poor His
widow is not too veil off in her old age.

EARLY DEPRALITY.
Experience With Youth and Crime in
Great Citses.

very large proportion of the criminal
ofense brought to the notice OF the courts
consists of those committed by boys, or
young men under the age of twenty five
ears. In many cases the crimes are the
result of the influence of elder criminals,
or are committed without realization of
the great wrongfulness OF the act. Some
times, however the criminal instinct is
strong in even immature youths. A boy
OF fifteen years of age, who was brought
before me a few years ago, was convicted
of high degree of robbery, and 1t appear
ed that in other cases he bad been guilty
of similar offences, but on account of his
extreme youth had escaped punishment.
He took part with older men In assault.
ing citizens on the street and taking pro-
perry from their persons. lhe managers
of the House of Refuge, to which lnstltu-
ton committed the boy, refused to re-
ceive him, because of his previous crimes
and the Dad influence which be exerted up
or other inmates. | was unwilling TO send
him either to the penltentIary or the state
prison on account Of his youth, and be-
cause felt certain that association with
older criminals would only render him
more hardened in his vicious career. He
was detained in the city prison for many
months and finally discharged. Other in
stances Of the early depr ivity of members
of the criminal class have come to my at
tention
TIE fact that So many crimes are COM
united i,y persons IF immature years, how
ever -ad l. my be, proves that. to some
extent at least. the penalties of the crimi-
n4l law are Elective In preventing crime.
Young men va have ha t cir frs lexp r

HeaithfuI Living on the Farm.

Much has been written with reference
to heaithful methods Of living. The farm
er has been warned against too free use
of the pork barrel over and over again,
and while it seems to be true that our
pork-eaters are as healthy and long-Iived
as our beef-eaters are, it is nevertheless
true that steady pork diet is not the
best diet. If we were to be asked to lay
down general rules for healthful methods
of living on farm we should say: First,
a good comfortable house with large airy
rooms; strict regard for cleanliness
about the premises, that is, that all decay
ing matter should be scrupulously removed
from any location near the house; good
drainage; frequent bathing; as much
labor saving IN all departments in the
house and out of it as possible; and va
riety Of foods. The chicken is frequently
drafted for the farm table, perhaps too
frequently, for fowl is hard to digest
Fresh beef in summer is not practicable
unless bought of a butcher. But-statipg
again what has been stated many times
the sheep furnishes al easy means by
which the farmer can supply himself with
fresh meat at any time of the year. With
a fl OK of sheep one can be slaughtered at
any time, and what is not needed of the
carcass for home consumption can be dis
posed of This feature of the benefits of
sheep husbandry alone is enough to COM
mend sheep breeding 10 the farmer.

Do they miss me at home, do they miss me?
'Twould DC an assurance most dear,
To know that This moment some loved one

That's miss'd when my voice is away,
And a chord in each heart that awaketh
Regret at my WearisOme stay,
Regret at my WearisoTne stay.
Do they set me chair near the table,
When evenings home pleasures are nigh,
When candles are lit in the paIloT,
And the stars in the calm azure skyf
And when the "good nights" are repeated,
And all lay down 10 their sleep,
Do they think of the absent, ard watt me

At morning, or at noon, or at mighty
