This is the year for visiting
for renewing old aequaintances.
Probably most families viii en-

relatives they haven't seen for
many years.
If, therefore, you want new
chamber set for the spare room,
new dinner set for the table, or
new knives, forks or spoons, let
me remind you that can supply
those wants. You'll be surprised
to find how cheaply-

Frescobaldi. another Florentine lady. who died
in 1870, was the mother Of ffty-two children,
no fewer than three being born at any one
time, four and five at single birth being moth
ing unusual with the madame. and at one time
six. In Aubrey's Natural History OF Wilt
shire" (England) we find an account Of the
Bonham family Thomas and Edith. Edith had
Irvine and triplets on numerous occasions, and
finally astonished all Wiltshire by giving birth
to seven children at one time. There is a ira
dition," quote from Aubrey. (which is re-
corded in the parish register, that all the seven
children were brought together to tho font Of
the church and there baptized"
The Gentlemen's Magazine for March H.
1898. is authority for the statement that the
wife of Pierro Duisain OF Verchoq. Depar tment
of Pas-de- Calais, France, was the mother of six
children, three boys and three girls. all of whom
were born ut n single birth. "A lady" (name
not given-see ''Stxtistician'' for 1882 page
$3.50 at Xenia, Ohio, in the year 1850 gave birth
to five children at oue time. Mrs. james Nc
Elmore. who lived at Texarkana, Ark. in the
year 1888. had become the mother OF family
OF nine children, all within the short space of
three years, the last arrival being trio Of
girls. Mrs. Phoebe Lynch, who was living ut
Seymour. Ind, in the same year OSSS), had
seven children ut two births. eighteen months
apart. The last four, two boys and two girls.
were born on April 80. 1888.
But the palm for multiple child bearing
properly belongs to Mrs. Ellsworth KILLER OF
Cold Spring. N. y, who has been married less
than ten years. but who, within that short space
of time. has become the mother Of seventeen
children. The last addition TO this family so

HIS PREDICAMENT,
This Young Man Pursued u Fabian Policy
With Great Success.

This Young Man Pursued a Fabian Policy
With Great Success.
From the Chicago r, cord
There is q certain Young man in Chicago
whose natural propensity for being agreeable
has sometimes placed him in embarrassing
positions. He has not quite recovered from
his latest shock.
Two weeks ago he decided to accept an invi-
tation to certain club reception. young
lady from the far South Side was to accompany
him.
That evening when he called at her fathers
door the young lady was indisposed. A female
cousin happened to BIO spending the evening at
the house. and, being an old friend OF the Young
man. was ushered into the family sittin: roo m
and introduced to the cousin. whom he had
never seen. Naturally enough. he didn't catch
her name on presentation and naturally enough,
too. he proposed that she go with him to the
reception.
Five minutes after the introduction she with
drew to get ready. When she came ont pre-
pa red to keep out the cold she seemed only
an animated bundle of wraps.
1t was this animated bundle which few mo.
ments later retired to the club dressing room
set aside for the ladies. She came oat meta
morphosed beyond all hope of identification at
the end OF ten minutes. 1ntrod notions to
three or four other young ladies had in the
meantime tended to still further bewilder the
Young man. and he stood with u cold clammy
sweat on his thoughtful brow.
What a situation! The escort OF young lady
whose name he couldn't call and whose face he
couldn't remember! And there were half
hundred faces about the rooms.
Twice in the course Of the evening he thought
he had found the Young lady. Each time he
spoke guardedly about her ''sick cousin" and
each time the young lady gave him q scared
look, as if she doubted his sanity.
1t was not she.
The evening dragged on somehow. He
thought several times Of running away
somewhere - anywhere = and never being
heard of moro. Then happy thought struck
him. 1t gave him a new hope OF life.
People began to go home after a time. Tho
crowd thinned and tho young man watched
hopefully.
Six women we're -four-three-

Then the Other Young Man took the arm Of
the tall young woman who WAS smiling 30
graciouslv about her. leaving a sober faced,
demure little woman buttoning her left-hand
glove.
And then, with n great feeling of thankful
ness in his heart, the first young man went
forward and without word took tn 9 arm OF

Plan to Swap Holland for Alsatia.


We're it not that Germany has laid hands on
Alsace and a portion Of Lorraine, general dis
armament would by this time have taken place
in Europe; for the burden Of the present huge
ornaments is running all the great continental
powers. Lord Salisbury encouraged the forma-
ton Of the triple alliance a means Of main
tanning the European peace. But this alliance
has been met by dual alliance between France
and Russia, and Europe now is divided into two
great camps. armed to the teeth, and of about
equal strength.
The sole remedy for this state of things is
that the provinces wrested from France should
be restored to her. If the Queen of the Neither
lands dies, then Germany should incorporate
Holland into the German empire as a auid pro
quo for giving up these provinces. II she lives.
she should marry some Prussian prince, and
the incorporation should equally take place.
This seems to me to be the common sense view
Of continental politics. and recommend it to
the German emperor. who, understand. does

This is true, in fact Of most common condi-

This nut, which contains q poisonous principle
