The New York World has this to say OF
Democratic history: 1.-THE Democracy has
in its time compromised with slavery, the
rag-baby, population and this same silver
craze. Its compromise with slavery drove
1t from power for a quarter OF century
after its almost unbroken rule OF sixty
years. Its compromises with soft money
and with the silver fanaticism have cost 1t
every election which 1t has entered with
that smirch upon its banner"

WONDERFUL OLD WOMEN.
They Grow New Teeth and Hair and
Regain Their Sight.

1t is an acknowledged fact that a
great age is attained by women oftener
than by men. Tissot, with doubtful gall
lantry, accounts for this by declaring
that the large amount of talking for
which women are famous is a very
healthy exercise and promotes circula-
ton of the blood without over-exerting.
the organs. The true reason probably
lies in the quieter and more regular life
usually led by women, says the New
York Mercury
One of the most famous female GEN.
tenarians was the Countess of Des-
mond, who lived to be 40, and died in
the reign of James /. This wonderful
woman found herself, at the age of 100.
so lively and strong as to be able to
take part in a dance, and when she was
40 she travelled all the way from Bris-
tol to London-po tritiing journey in
those days-in order to attend person.
ally to some business affairs
Lady Desmond is, however, quite
thrown into the shade by a French
woman, Marie Prion, who died in St.
Colombo in June, 1888, at the wonderful
age Of 15S. Toward the end of her life
she lived exclusively on goats milk and
cheese. Although her body was so
shrunken that she weighed only forty
six pounds, she retained all her mental
faculties to the last
1t is an extraordinary but incontest-
able fact that some women. at the age
when most people die, undergo. a sort
of natural process of rejuvenation-hair
and teeth grow again, the wrinkles dis
appear from the skin, and sight and
hearing reacquire their former sharp
ness.
Marquise de Mirabeau is an exam
pie OF this rare and remarkable phe-
nomenon. She died at the age of So,
out few years before her death she be-
came, in appearance, quite young again
The same change happened to a nun of
the name of Marguerite Verdur. who,
at the age of 62, lost her wrinkles, re-
gained her sight, and grew several new
teeth. When she died, ten years later,
ner appearance was almost juvenile.

FOOLED THE STOREKEEPER.
Sharp GrOceryman Found a Farmer
Up to His Trick.

A farmer came into q grocery store
the other day and exhibited to an ad-
miring crowd an enormous egg about
six inches long, which had been laid by
one of his old hens. He had it packed
in cotton, and wouldn't allow anybody
to handle it for fear of breaking the
phenomenon.
The grocery man examined 1t with
the rest, and. intending to chaff the
countryman, said;
"Pshaw, I've got something In the
egg line that will beat that"
I'm bet you So you have not" said
the countryman, getting excited.
Take 1t up" said the groceryman.
and, going behind the counter, he
brought out a wire egg-beater. "There's
something in the egg line that will beat
it, 1 guess" said he, reaching for the
stakes.
Hold on there" said the farmer,
lets see you beat it," and handed 1t to
the grocer
The latter held out his hand for it,
but dropped 1t in surprise on the coun-
ter, where it broke two soup plates and
platter. 1t was of iron painted white.
Some folks think they are tarnation
cute" muttered the farmer. as he pock-
eted the stakes and lit out, but 'taint
no use buckin' against the solid facts"

A LOST TYPE.

On, for glimpse of natural boy
boy with freckled face,
With forehead white meath tangled hair
And limbs devoid of grace;
Whose feet toe in, while his elbows flare:
Whose knees are patched all ways;
Who turns Is red as a lobster when
You give him a word of praise.
A boy who's born with an appetite:
Who seeks the pantry shelf
To eat his piece with resounding smack
Who isn't gone on himself.
A Robinson Crusoe" reading boy,
Whose pockets bulge with trash:
Who knows the use of rod and gun
And where the brook trout splash
It's true he'll sit in the easiest chair.
With his hat on his tousled head:
That his hands and feet are everywhere
For youth must have room to spread.
But he doesn't dub his father "oId man."
Nor deny his mothers CALL
Nor ridicule what his elders say.
Or think that he knows it ALL
A rough and wholesome natural boy
Of good old-fashioned clay;
God bless him, If he's still on earth,
For he'll make man some day

Where Mathematics Failed.

The story told by a New Haven cor
respondent of the Evening Post" of
the locating of a meteor by Professor
H. A. Newton of Yale, from data OBJ
tanned from a chance photograph of
the meteor's flight, recalls to the
Hartford ''Courant" another story re-
Gently related hereabouts by a Yale
graduate. The young man, when a
student, occupied a room in Divinity
Hall. One night he undertook with a
campus. His aim was poor and the
ball passed through the window of an
eminent and venerable professor of
science (not Professor Newton) and en-
bedded itself in the wall. This was the
opportunity for the professor of sci
ence. He, too, set to work and conn
puted the curve and with the exact
skill of infallible figures he traced the
ball right back to the room of an inno-
cent colleague, who didn't even know
the rifle had been fired. The unf1edeed
minister fatty denied all knowledge of
the affair. But men, even ministers
have been known to make denials in
self-defense, and the professor had the
proof with him. There was the bullet
there were the marks of its course. and
there was the computation worked out
1t looked as if pulpit career were to
be nipped in the bud. But the guilty
student heard what was going on. He
called on the professor, confessed the
offense, pointed out that the man of
science was 200 feet out in his compu-
tation, and advised that the matter be
dropped right where it was. And that
was done"

An English novelist, in one of his re-
cent works, pictures a Scottish High
lander sitting by the roadside singing
favorite Scottish ballad while he ac-
companied himself on bagpipe! which
is feat still happily impossible-except
in novels. In one of her stories Ouida
describes the solo performance of the
"Stabat Mater" by a lady alone in a
wood as producing glorious harmonies!
lr certain work of George Eliot's "a
perfect accord Of descending fifths" is
spoken of in glowing terms as most
wonderful and enjoyable passage. An
other novelist makes a violin player
sustain the common chord Of A minor,
which some of our virtuosi would no
doubt be glad to learn how to do.
George Meredith tells us some remark
able things, among them the statement
occurs that the drum gives vast inter-
national satisfaction owing to it's COR
pulency.' Marion Crawford, in "a Ro-
man Singer" states that La Favorita's
debut on the operatic stage was pre-
pared for his task by the singing mas
ter giving him blackberry syrup in or

III William Blacks 'Kilmeny' wonders

to avoid such absurdities as the above,
which are only small fraction of the
plumbers committed continually through
the ignorance of a writer on the SUBJ
Ject IN hand, he should engage some
professional musician to overlook the
musical references in his works. To be
sure. glaring as these faults appear to
those who are informed on all matters

novehsts are no greater in regard to
music than are the errors of musicians
In general with regard to other arts.

Fell From an Electric Light Pole.

Mr.. Will Clark, who is employed by
the Electric Light Co., had narrow
escape from serious injury Friday af-
ternoon. He was working on trans
former at the top of pole immedi-
ately in front of w. S. Parker s. Cos
store, when he fell to the ground dis
lance of Is or 20 feet. 1t seems that
in attempting to fasten the belt fused
by linemen to strap themselves to the
pole) he failed to buckle it securely and
as soon as his weight was put against
it, it slipped, and losing his balance he
fell backward, striking the ground with
terrible force. Exactly in what posi-
ton he struck even those who witnessed
the accident were unable to say. There
was pile of rock little to one side
aud it is quite certain that his right
hand struck this breaking the force of
the fall and injnring that member SO it
will be several weeks before it is we'll.
A crowd soon collected and MIR.
Clark was removed to a store room
close by and laid on the counter. His
nervous system was badly shocked and
he complained great deal of his head,
hand and back. He was conscious all
the while. Physicians were summoned
and Drs. Tucker and Harris responded
and the wounded man was made as
comfortable as possible. Later he was
removed to the residence of Mr.. John
Rem, where he boards, when more
careful examination was made. To all
outward appearances there was no Sc
rlous hart except to the hand but the
doctors apprehended there might be in
ternal injuries. This of course had to
be shown by subsequent developments.
Mr.. Clark is now getting on very

was badly shaken up by the fall and
