tobacco and opium will do for anybody.
Ars. Hannah Stevenson, of Brookneld,
Massachusetts,, reached the age of 100 last
week, beating the Thermometer by few
points. She has smoked habitualy and
taken snuff for eighty-one years, and also
INDUCES in little opium when things get
monotonous. At present she eats and
sleeps well and reports splendid health for
the past fifty years, though before that she
was ailing some. She is also mentally

1t ia said that st. Anthony of Padus
once preached q sermon at Bruges that
was distinctly heard three miles away. st.
Gregory AYERS that he heard the celebrated
prayer of Fedimus like distance, and st.
Honore heard the chant sung by the monks
when they discovered the burial places of
the martyrs Fusclsn, Viotorius and Gen
tian, although separated from them by q
distance "shich could have been but little
short of seven miles" II these good
people were alive now they could make
their voices heard thousand miles away.
Some people know when they are well
off. Judge Mabley, of Greene county,
Alabama, received an appointment the
other day in one of the Washington de-
partments. and he journeyed to the capitol
to qualify. But after looking over the
ground the judge returned home, declining
the appointment In letter to his endorser,
Congressman Bankhead, In which he said:
a. have lived to be more than forty
years old and have never been bossed by
anybody, and can't begin that now. g)
am making more than $1,000 at home
and like to live there. g. have been
elected President of the Greene County

The college women of England have
accomplished a notable feat In the fact that
no fewer than ten of them have passed the
severe examination for the mathematical
tripos at Cambridge. Two, Miss johnson
and Miss Stohey, each of Newnhsm, are
Wranglers, as the distinction is teehni
cally known, and the former was very
near the head of the list. No such tri-
umph has been attained by women college
students since Miss Fswcett's unprece-
dented Achievement in becoming Senior
Wranglsr In 1890, when her enthusiastic
fellow-students lighted bonfire, illumin-
ated the college grounds and sang songs of
joy. Mics Johnson is twenty-one years
old, and entered the Cambridge higher
local examinations at the age of seventeen.
There are good many "deadhesds" at
the Fair. During the first month about
20, 900 free passes were Issued. This num-
ber has been reduced until only about 35,
900 passes are in use, and this number will
be further reduced. The issue of passes
TO exhibitors and employees is Of course le
gitimste. There are about IL, 900 of these
who must be on the grounds every day.
There are about 100 restaurants whose en-
ployes must have passes, and one of the
companies employ 800 persons. There are
also several thousand persons engaged in
selling mineral water, fruit, popcorn,
boots, etc. Some 5000 persons
are employed in the Midway PlAisance and
4 900 representatives. of newspapers, ONE
tenth Of whom are women, have free ad-
mission at the gate. The mischief has
been that the passes ara not always legit-
nately used.
