TWO ELDERLY GEoRGIANS.



One Married at 100 and the Other Got
the Mitten at 1913.
Two remarkable cases of longevity
were recalled recently by conversation
between several gentlemen in this city.
They were discussing the death of the
Rev. George Mccall, the veteran Bap-
fist preacher, when it was automatically
stated that Mr.. McCall's great-grandfa-
Their lived to the ripe old age of 1877
years. He was bachelor at 100 and
took notion to get married. He car
ried ont his idea and was married.
Three sons were born to him, and he
lived to see the Oldest son old enough
to vote.
This was considered remarkable, but
gentleman in the crowd whose char
acter and standing, religiously and So
cially, are above reproach, told an au-
thentic account Of the life of his great
uncle, who was one of Georgia g pioneer
citizens This old gentleman lived to
be 1870 years old. He lived in log
cabin, in the northern end Of which
was cut a square hole. The old man
turned the head Of his bed to that hole
and slept that way in the warmest and
coolest weather.
His wife died when he was about 90
years old, and for many years he lived
as widower. At the age of 115 he cut
an entirely new set of teeth, and at the
age of 1913 one morning he saddled his
own horse, sprang into the saddle and
rode 80 miles to address a widow and
to ask her to be his wife. He evidently
was rejected, for he rode back that day
and lived years longer. Atlanta Con-

1t is not generally known that Abra-
ham Lincoln sent a substitute to the
war against the south, but such is a fact.
During the earlier days of the war 1t
seems to have been the desire of all
prominent men in Washington to have
representative in the ranks, and Lin
coin was no exception to the rule. At
that time there was minister named
Staples in Washington, one of whose
sons, then aged 10, had desire to go to
the front Lincoln heard of him, and
after a conference selected him as his
representative, and he proved worthy,
for he won honor on the field. He sur
vived the war and finally died in
Stroudsburg, Pa. The inscription on the
stone over his grave reads as follows:
81. Symmetrical Staples, private Of
Company 9, One Hundred and Seventy
sixth Regiment, P. V. also member Of
the Second Regiment, d. @. Vols, as a
substitute for Abraham Lincoln. -

THE MARRIAGE TIE.
Men and Women Not to Be Judged by
the Same Standard.

Men and Women Not to Be Judged by
the Same Standard.
Whether it is that we are poorer, or
that we are more luxurious and exacting
in our tastes, and that the girls of today
require more in their marriage than the
ordinary Englishman can afford, can
not say, but unless girls have great
beauty or large fortunes we hear much
more of the difficulty of their marrying.
Among the mass of women, however,
there is no revulsion from the marriage
tie, and all healthy minded girls and
women seem to be just as much interest
ed in the question as were their grand
mothers. The one great fact that has
kept English society is the inviolability
of the marriage tie. Infdelity in a mar
ried woman is surely reason enough to
justify her husband in getting rid of
her, and the woman who clamors for
divorce on the same grounds as men is
surely lowering the standard Of female
purity in a ruthless way Is man, with
his stronger, coarser, more animal ma
ture, to be judged by the same standard
of chastity as a woman, with her higher
ideals of life, her purer nature, and the
exemption from temptation which she
enjoys?
If we think for a moment Of the
temptation to which men are exposed
from their very early youth, and which
they undoubtedly combat very unsuc-
cessfully, and which attacks them at a
time when they are most prone to sue
cumb-in the period Of youth, vigor
and ignorance-and contrast their posi-
ton with that of women, we must sure
ly feel that we are degrading our sex
when we ask for corresponding code Of
morality, or even suggest that women
are to be tried byepo higher standard
than that to which men strive to attain.
We are told that no union can survive
the conjugal customs and intimacy Of
English married life. Perhaps the new
woman thinks so because in her ephem-
eral passion no feeling of constancy, af-
lection or gratitude is possible. We be-
ieve that the overwhelming majority Of
old fashioned English women regard
that intimacy as one of the purest and
sweetest ever devised-one which, when
the passion and desire of youth fade
away, blossoms into friendship, COM
pansionship as constant as it is holy,
without which their lives would indeed
be barren. Jeune in Saturday Re-
view.

IN A TURKISH HAREM.
There Are Women Old and Young, Tall
and Wrinkled.

There Are Women Old and Young, Tall
and Wrinkled.
An account of the visit I paid to the
zenana or harem Of a Mohammedan ma
wab in native state may not be with
out interest.
A carriage and mounted escort of sol
diers were sent at s o'clock one morning
to convey us to the castle. A gate in
the immense walls of the compound led
us into the i'll kept gardens. Passing
from these into the courtyard and
through long colonnades and untidy pas
sages, we were conducted finally into
the zenana. A large and lofty room,
with walls on three sides and colon
made opening on to courtyard, was the
apartment in which we were received.
Chairs were brought for our accommoda-
ton, but with the exception Of the mat
ting on the floor the place was without
furniture.
Women, some young and tall, others
old and wrinkled, passed and repassed
while we waited for the begun to APP
pear. They were stressed in the same
fashion. Trousers of light colored dam
asks or satin clothed them from the
waist. These pantaloons were baggy
above, but so close fitting from the knee
downward that they have to be sewed up
after they are ON. They are unsewed and
removed once a week for the bath. A
short bodice, reaching just below the
breast, is worn, and then round the body
and over the shoulders and head is
wound the sari of muslin or silk, which
falls in graceful folds from the hips and
shoulders. The begun kept us waiting,
and we were told the reason was that
she was putting ON all her jewels to do
us honor.
Presently she came ina small, young
woman, with an oval, immobile face
and smooth, black hair. She wore tight
trousers of rich green damask and a
sari of cloth of gold. On her bare ankles
were anklets of uncut emeralds and dia-
monds, said to be worth 40, 900 rupees.
On her arms were large number of
jeweled bangles and armlets, ON her fin
gers rings of beautiful rubies and dia-
fine pearls, and, suspended by studs of.
large diamonds in the outer rims of the
ears, she wore across the hair at the
back of the head pearls, emeralds and
rubies, prettily set as a kind of collar
cite. The ears were pierced in several
places to allow rings and jewels to be
inserted, and in the nose a small dia
mond was worn. The little jeweled lady
did not speak English, and after we
had admired her jewelry conversation
soon came to an end.
Her wee baby was brought in dressed
in colored silk, with gold laced cap on
its little bald head. The nawab joined
US, and there was much lively chat over
the subject of our visit to the state. In
such zenana the most rigorous seclu-
sion of the wives is enforced-wives, I
say, for in this zenana the begun was
the chief and the only wife and was
married the day after the death of the
first begun. Queen.

A REMARKABLE VENDETTA.
All This Half Savage Father Lives For IL
TO Kill Walrus.

A21~AA

ibid you ever hear of a strong, able
bodied man going crazy from grief?"
asked Captain Debney of the steamship
City of Puebla, on the water front yes
terday. ST don t mean one of your high
ly sensitive creatures" continued be,
"but a man feet inches in his stock
ings, and as strong as an OK. Of such
man heard during my last trip to the
sound. He is a Russian Finn and is
sensible on every subject save one. He
has vendetta against the walrus, and
his cabin in the wilds Of Alaska is built
up with their skulls.
According to the story told me by
passenger who came down with me
from the sound, this man settled in
Alaska years ago. He married a native
woman, and she bore him a son. A few
years later the mother died, and all the
affection of the half savage father CEN
tered ON the son. Nothing was too good
for the lad, and everything in the way
of hunting and fishing lore was taught
him.
when the boy was old enough, his
father took him out on all his hunting
expeditions and soon the youngster be-
gan working on his own account.
Zone fatal day he attacked an old
bull walrus, but instead of killing it he
himself was the victim. When the father
saw the dead body Of his son he was
wild with grief, which finally settled
into a species of madness. Now all he
lives for is to kill walrus.
"When the mania first seized him ne
lived in a dugout. Now his hut is on
the ground and composed almost entire
ly of walrus skulls.
''He crawls up behind the brutes
while they are asleep, and, seizing them
by the tusks, stands them ON end by
main force. He looks into their eyes as
though seeking to recognize the one that
killed his son, and then his knife does
the rest. The head is then cut off, and
goes to make one more to the monument
he is raising to the memory of his son. -

An italian newspaper gives an ac-
count of an amusing lawsuit which has
taken place lately in Russian city in
which German is the prevailing Ian
guage. One man sued another to recover
the sum of so rubles, the debtor having
faithfully promised to return the money
on st. Henry's day. But having failed
to do SO for long time the lender dis
covered that the Russian Orthodox
church includes no such saint as St.
Henry, and the judge before whom the
case was tried was much puzzled as to
what verdict he should give. Happily
the idea occurred to him that, saint or
no saint, All Saints day included even
the most doubtful, SO he gave Judgment
that the 80 rubles should be returned
next All Saints day.

MORNING ON THE "HEIeArs."

A glorious morningl Where the city lies,
Far down below US, rests foggy sea,
Its edges curved around the hills that rise
Outlined against the west. Far off and free
Ring out the factory bells, their rhythmic
sway
Calling the toilers to newborn day.
Then all Is still, until a distant train,
With rush and rumble winds across the plain,
Invisible, beneath the airy veil, to me,
As cabled message passing through the sea.
listen to the river murmuring low
And think of those who listened long ago.
1t seems a thousand pities to awake
The world once more, and this sweet silence
break.

No days have been as sweet as then, when

But now she's slumbering well up there, where

Forgotten are all wrongs to her in that unend-

We hold that a well devised dietary
system does not need frequent changes.
All do not require to eat the same in
amount or kind. Uncooked fruits and
nuts suit some; others live almost en-

the correct diet has been found it is not
necessary to change. Animals in state

'The fats in the fire." indicating
that AN enterprise has suffered disaster,
is found in very old English times The
metaphor is, of course, drawn from the
sight, familiar enough at hog killing
time, of lard beng melted from the fat
portions of the carcass, the upsetting of
the vessel causing the loss Of the melted
fat. BY figure of speech, fat is sup
posed to indicate good luck or wealth,
and the "fat's in the fire" was synony-
nous with the failure of a promising en-
terprise.
