REMARKABLE LONGEVITY.
A Family of Eight Whose United Ag,
Foot IIp to ego Years

A Family of Eight Whose United Ages
Foot Up to 600 Years.
The most remarkable instance of
longevity in the history Of the Nut
meg state, perhaps, is noted in the
Kimball family of the town of Preston,
one member of it, Mrs. Abby 8.
Cook, who is passing the closing years
OF her life in the home of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. William II. Cook, of Franklin
street, this city, having celebrated the
other day the Goth anniversary of her
birthday. Mrs. Cook is the widow Of
the late Isaac II. Cook of Preston. A
large number of her relatives, friends
and neighbors called at her home on her
anniversary day and congratulated her,
and the venerable lady, who is still
hale and active and of cheerful spirit,
entertained them.
Mrs. Cook is member of q family
of eight children, sons and daughters
of Elisha and Lucy Lathrop Klmball,
all of whom are alive and in vigorous
health, with the exception of Mrs. Sybil
A. Branch, the eldest, who died two
years ago at Roxbury, Mass, aged 90
years AZ months.
Here are the names and ages of the
surviving members of the band: Abby
S. Cook, so years old; Sarah Green,
Iowa, IS; Sarah L. Brown, Chicago, s5;
Nelson L. kimball, Iowa, 80; Frances
De Wolf, Chicago, 80; Lucius 7. Kim
ball, Iowa, rs, and Rev. Nathaniel Kim
ball, Iowa, 76. The united ages of the
brothers and sisters are 669 years, in
Guiding that of Mrs. Branch.

Restricting Power to Create Debt.

A bill passed the senate few DAYS
before adjournment providing that
hereafter no government bonds
should be issued without the author
ity Of Congress. The secretary of the
treasury can now bond the country
even when congress is in session, and
has done so within less than three
years to the tune of$2Gs, 900 900 and all
The time he has insisted that the
revenues Were ample to meet the
wants of the government. Uud, t. g
circumstances it seems perfectly
proper that SO important matter as
contracting sucha debt or a debtofuny
size should be authorized only by the
representatives of the people in con-
sress assembled; but the bill failed to
become Il law, the House refusing to
act upon it. The reason assigned for
this, and it is a reasonable one, is
that the members of the House could
not vote for it without displeasing
their p!atocratic masters, and they
dlI not want 10 go on record as vot.
ing against it. Both of Minnesota's
senators, by the way, voted against
the bill, preferring to leave that great
power in the hands of one man than
putting it i'll the hands of the people.

SOCIETY IN GUATEMALA.
Unspeakably Dull for tho Average You'll
brought Up in America.

Unspealzably Dull for the Average Youth
Brought Up in America.
Life in Guatemala City to a foreigner,
and especially young man, says the
New Orleans Times Democrat, possesses
about rs much attractiveness from a
standpoint of amusement as would a
residence in graveyard. There is abb
solutely nothing to do except work,
sleep and eat. The only place man
has to go when he has finished work is
to saloon, and there he has nothing to
do for recreation but drink. The door
to the best society is shut in the face of
Observation-Disclosures as they are
called by the naughty dons-no matter
what their standing. Of course, when
one has official dignity he is invited to
the presidents ball and other official
functions, and has entree into society,
but there is no such thing as social in
tercourse in its American sense. No
body is allowed to see young lady un-
less it is in the presence of her entire
family under the watchful eye of her
duenna, and there isn't much pleasure
in this kind of visit to most young
men of America. Guatemala City has
population of $4,000, but has no
theaters. There was an opera company
of fair character there two years ago,
but there have been no attractions at
all of this kind during the past season.
Living is very high in Guatemala City,
and salaries are by no means cor
respondingly high. I would not advise
any young man to go there with the
idea of making his fortune. There has
been too much immigration to the coun-
try as it is.

CHINESE EAT NOTHING COLD.
Their Greatest Delicacy Is Said to Be
Live ShrimpS.

Their Greatest Delicacy Is Said to Be
Live Shrimps.
The Chinese esteem shrimps above all
other things, says Pearson's Weekly.
AT well-served table they are brought
on swimming about in glass bowl OF
water favored with oil and vinegar,
which renders the creatures hysteri-
cally alive. With an unerring thumb
and forehnger the Chinese diner-out
plucks forth the struggling fish, nips
off the tail at one bite, and casts the
useless head behind him.
Shocking as it may seem to an Eng
fish housekeeper, the older the egg i'll
China, the more perfect from an cpl
curean standpoint does it become, for
no Chinaman who has right regard for
his palate eats fresh boiled egg.
Taken fresh, eggs nre sent to soak, after
having been washed in tub of aromat-
ic water. After time they are re-
moved, and the water used in mixing Il
paste of lime and salt, in which the
eggs are packed in jars. These are
Theoretically sealed and set aside to
stand for n month, when they are sup
posed to be fit for eating. Those left
packed in salt and lime for 10 months
or more, when opened, are found to
have changed color, solidified partly
and are odorless.
The chief care of the Chinese is to
eat nothing cold. Warm or hot food
they absorb in abundance, but rightly
they maintain that cold food lowers the
temperature of the stomach beyond the
point where digestion can continue, and
so the whole health Of the body is en-
daurered

The Deacon undone.

There was once deacon on Cape Cod
who heard early one morning that
there had been a wreck on the beach
near his house. He hurried down with
couple of pillow-cases; filled one with
sugar, hid it under the bank and went
on to look for more groceries. While
he was gone a neighbor came along on
the same ercand, caught sight of the
pillow case, emptied it into his own bag
and reflled it with sand. By and by the
deacon returned empty-handed, and
carried off his pillow-case without no.
ticing the change. In fact, he filled his
sugar bowl and tried to sweeten his cof-
fee before he found out how badly he
had been treated. Then he was SO in
dignant that he confessed afterwards:
81 was almost wicked enough to wish
there might never be another wreck on
this here coast again."

Tctanus Bacilll Thrive in Long Island
Nino Fatalities a Year

AotaAus ASacllll 1nrlVe III Long Island
Nine Fatalities Year.
The death Ct child in Brooklyn from
locljaw, said to have been caused by
bacilli of the disease which existed in
the soil OF that region, calls attention
again to peculiar danger of some por-
tions of Long Island, which has been
mentioned at intervals of several years.
III this instance the child, says the Hart
ford Times, {: girl two years old, had
been vaccinated. There was no reason
to suspect the purity of the vaccine
matter. 1t was used three weeks ago,
ind the child was getting on well until
in playing in the dirt she scratched the
vaccinated arm while her fingers were
Emeared with clay.
AS to the existence of tetanus bacilli
In the soil, the evidence seems to be am
pie. Health Commissioner Emery saws
the soil is full of these bacilli and that
they caused several deaths which fol-
lowed vaccination year ago. DR..
Maync. attended, the little girl, says:
The germs of tetanus ore in the air as
well us in the soil, but to breathe them is
not necessarily fatal. In the vicinity
of the south shore Of Long Island
horses, as well as human beings, have
fallen victims to the bacilli. In the
case of the little girl her finger nails
contained the germ, which when
brought into contact with the superb
cial abrasion at once inoculated her sys-
TEN with the poison" DR.. West, of the
Observation-Disclosures of health, says the
existence of the germ Of tetanus has
been noted for several years, more par
ticuiarly in the east and southern tiers
of Long Island. He adds: Suffolk
county, 1 believe, has the reputation of
being the most affected spot. In the
past three years, in Brooklyn, there has
been an average of nine fatalities from
the work of tetanus bacillus annually.
The germ, when exposed to the air, soon
succumbs. When it attacks wound it
burrows down deep, for the purpose of
keeping away from the air."
