A Smart Old Maine Lady.

Plymouth can boast of the smartest old
lady In the state. Mrs. A. J. Hayward Is
78 years Of age. She lives alone and does
all her work, including saving and split
ting her wood aud planting her garden.
She showed your correspondent pile OF
wood which she had got in and piled up
in proper shape. The tiers contain four
cords, besides half cord Of kindling wood
which she also manufactured.
Besides this she has standing in her
yard, leaning against her shed, several
large logs which she got from the stump
herself and dragged to the yard.
During the past year she has spun over
400 skeins Of yarn. She has several hens,
In which she delights, and her home out.

Five Generations Living In One House

Five generations are represented by as
many women, all living together under
one roof, ut Juniper and Mifflin streets.
Mrs. Katherine Tremaine, the great great
grandmother, is within few years of the
ripe old ago Of 100. The t-grandmoth-
or, Mrs. Fuller, is over 70, and Mrs. Bir-
mingham Is past the half century mark,
although she looks but little more than
half that age. Her daughter is Mrs. Frank
Gray, the proud mother Of the new gener-
alton. The baby, Katherine Gray, is just
3 weeks old and Is probably In greater
danger Of being spoiled" than any other
youngster In all this broad city. Very few
little girls can boast the possession OF three
grandmammas OF course this little girl
can't make this proud boast yet, but judg-
ing from the healthy appearance OF her
at-great-grandmamma she will be able
to do so for many years after she herself
will have attained the use Of speech and
reason. Record.

The announcement that by autumn
Spain will have seventy thousand men in
Cuba indicates at once the formidable
character of the revolt and the extraordi-
nary effort which Spain is making to re-
tain her colony. Measured by numbers
Spain is making more desperate battle
for Cuba than England made to retain
when England made her greatest effort
on this continent, when Burgoyne was
sent from Canada to cut New England
off from the other colon les, there were
not much over half seventy thousand
troops under the British flag in America.
Burgoyne's army of invasion did not
number over four thousand men. Lord
Howe, whom Burgoyne was to meet on
the Hudson, had probably not over thirty
thousand men that could by any posi-
bility be brought under his orders, and he
could not take with him over twenty
ington on the Schuylkill river. The
Spanish have the yellow fever to contend
against but Cuba can hardly be SO
difficult country for military operations
as was the American continent at that
time, with it's large rivers, dense forests
and great distances. 1t is probably easier
to land seventy thousand soldiers on this
side of the Atlantic in these days OF
steamers, than it was to bring over hall
that number in sailing ships. But Spain
has another great advantage over Eng.
land. So far the whole country seems
unanimous in expressing Cuba. There
appears to be no public sentiment in
favor of the oppressed; and none of the
cruel barbarities practised in the wars
awaken any revulsion at home. In Eng
land in 1775 the condition of public senti.
ment was very different When the news
of Lexington was received the recorder
of London put on mourning and in re-
Spouse to the inquiry if he had lost re-
lative, replied, Eyes, many brothers at
Lexington and Concord - The eldest son
of the Earl of Chatham, an accomplished
soldier resigned from the army rather
than serve against America. Admiral
Keppel, a popular naval officer, and John
Cartwright afterwards the eminent re-
former, were of like mind. England
found the greatest difficulties in recruit
ing her armies, and was finally forced to
hire mercenaries from the petty princes
of Germany. Throughout the war there
was strong public sentiment in favor OF
America, and this hampered the ministry
of Lord North, although it could not pre-
vent some of the more outrageous acts
like the letting loose of the Indians along
the American frontier. 1t would be hap
pier for both Spain and Cuba if there
was in the former land healthier public

When in 1868 Prof. Huxley was Presi-
dent of the British Association meeting
at Liverpool, paper on tobacco was read
in the statistical section, and DR.. Farr
took voluminous notes. The professor
strolled in and listened to discussion
started by one of the anti tobacconists on
the merits and dement's of tobacco. The
professor joined in, and began by decry-
ing the weed, of which he had been at
one time devotee. Then he went on to
narrate how he had ceased to be a
smoker for years; how he went to Aus
tralia on scientific expedition; how,
after a wearisome day, his party turned
up to dinner in their tent; and how,
after the meal, all his companions lit up.
ST could stand it no longer said the
professor. II begged a pipe and a pipe
full. and I lit up too, and I have been a
smoker ever since.
