The Silent Sisters.

'There is in Tennessee" says travel
er in the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
"a family of three sisters which presents
some of the strangest peculiarities imag-
Unable. These three sisters, all of whom
are old maids, live together on a farm
their rr sole means of subsistence, and work
hood. Two of them work in the
field the third does the cooking
and other, Homework. There is but
one period of the year when any
member of the trio has anything to
say to any other member. All during
the winter, spring and summer they 20
about their business with the seal Of ST.
lence on their lips. When fall comes
and the crop is harvested they break
the silence, and then only quarrel over
the division of the proceeds, When
each has succeeded in getting all that
she thinks possible, silence reigns again
until the next harvest time The sisters
have made name for themselves They
are known far and near as the deaf and
dumb triplets,' although this title is
scarcely appropriate"

A SPINSTER'S GIFT.
Lived as a Hermit and Left a Fortune to a
Chance AcQuaintaMce.

Lived as a Hermit and Left a Fortune to a
Chance Acquaintance.
By the death of Miss Emma Temple
ton. aged 60 years, Ignatz Martin is
benefited to the extent of several thou
sand dollars. In her will the deceased
leaves all her property, real and personal,
to Mr.. Martin. 1t will not be possible
to state the exact value of this property,
until an inventory has been taken, but it
is said to be fully 100000, possibly
more.
Eight years.a ago Miss Templeton came
to Brooklyn from st. Louis. When she
reached the City of Churches she rented
the house 50 Grove street. week later
several of her neighbors called upon her.
Their reception savored of the onyx OPP
tic, etc. In fact, Miss Templeton posi-
lively, and without giving any reason,
had declined to see any callers. She had
answered the rings at the doorbell her
self and made the announcement in per-
son. She gave but one reasOn-that she
wished to be ''let alone"
Many were the inquiries made regard
ing the old lady. Her actions gave the
gossips rich food for discussion. Day
How she ate or what she ate were mys-
teries that greatly interested those who
lived in the vicinity of her residence.
But she paid absolutely no attention to
her neighbors. She went out in the
street but seldom. 1t was not long be-
fore Miss Templeton was 1.-The hermit
1t was about six months after she
had moved to Brooklyn that Miss Tenn
pleton met Mr.. Martin. Coming to the
conclusion that she wished to invest
part of her money in real estate, she
called at his Office and made inquiries
concerning the price of the house in
which she lived, and for which he was
the agent. She seemed at once struck
with his appearance, and after she had
concluded the details regarding the pur-
chase of the property, he, at her request,
continued to call on her. AS she was
wont to say. he was the only FRIEND
man or woman, she had in the world
Some weeks ago Miss Templeton fell
while going down the front stoop of her
house. Her nip was broken by the fall
She managed to cry for help, and the
neighbors she had Stunned assisted her
to her bed. DR.. III. G.. Matthews of 1914
Quincy street was sent for. He did what
he could for the injured woman, but the
fall FASTENED her death.
Friday morning Miss Templeton sent
for Mr. Martin. To his surprise she ex-
pressed desire to make her will and by
it to leave to him all her property. He
declined to draw the will, but sent for
Lawyer Charles Reinhardt
By the terms of the will, after all the
just debts and funeral expenses of Miss
Templeton are paid, all the real and
personal property remaining shall be
made over to Mr.. Martin, and he is
made the sole eXecutor.-New York Re

Value of BOrax.

The women of Holland and Belgium,
who make their linen so beautifully
white, use refined borax instead of wash
ing soda in the proportion of one large
handful of borax to about ten gallons
OF boiling water. Thus they save in
soap nearly half It's effect is to soften
the hardest water, and. therefore, it
should be kept ON every toilet table. 1t
is good for cleansing the hair, is an excel
lent dentifrice; combined with tartaric
acid and carbonate of soda it is a cool
ing beverage. Good tea cannot be made
made soft by adding teaspoonful of
borax powder to an ordinary sized ket-
tie of water, in which it should boil
The saving in the quantity of tea used
will be One-fifth
