THIRTY-NiNE YEARS.
An English Woman Who Has Been
in Bed That Long.

in Bed That Long.
This bed is the most comfortable
place in the world" remarked an Eng
lish woman in 1853. Il shall stay here
the rest of my natural life"
The woman who made this remarka-
BILE statement was a spinster and she
lived at Teignmouth, in Devonshire,
England. She kept her word, and for
nearly 40 years she stayed in bed. She
was 80 years old when she made the
assertion.
She had retired to bed the night be-
fore in the best of health and there was
no apparent reason why she should not
have arisen the next morning. But she
concluded that she would remain where
she was and her relatives concluded
that it would be best to humor her
whim. So she stayed in bed and her
meals were taken to her. The bed she
occupied was in a room upstairs and for
two years she stayed there. Then she
was removed to a room on lower floor,
where she could watch the front gate
and the yard. She had series of mir
rors arranged so that she could see the
entrance to the house and the entire
yard, and she was thus able to know
what was going on. Her hearing be-
came abnormalIy acute and she could
hear noises that were inaudible to other
residents of the house.
Her mother and father died and she
still remained in bed. She became
owner of the small estate, and she man
aged it with skill and Judgment, but
she adhered to her determination of
remaining in bed She died last week
as the age of II. The doctors who held
the autopsy said that her lungs and
heart were sound and that had she lived
the usual life she would have been good
for ten or fifteen years longer. She
ate usual meals all of the 40 years, took
no medicine and there was no apparent
change in her constitution until few
months before her death.-N. Y. Trib-
une.

ducing women drivers, and good ones,
too, in divided skirts?
In the races at Pittsfeld, Me-, few
weeks ago there were four of them, but
the better of all of them was Miss Ell
lott.
She is only 81 years old, and is the
very antithesis of Lawson n. Fuller,
the old gentleman driver of New York
city. Mr.. Fuller leans forward and
seldom takes his eyes from his team.
Miss Elliott leans back as easily as
though she were in a boudoir chair,
with each little foot poised on the bar
in front of the seat. She seems to know
by instinct just what the horse is doing,
and looks about her with the utmost
unconcern.
II can feel what trotter is doing
through the lines. just as helmsman
can feel his craft hauling on the rud-
der" says Miss Elliott.
The race won by the woman driver
was the first ever trotted on a circuit
track under national rules with women
as drivers. Miss Elliott won the race
easily.
Her opponents were Mrs. Sarah Elise
Crosby. of West Brewster, Mass, 80
years old; Mrs. Hattie f. Meader, of
Winslow, aged 90; Mrs. Mary Wood
cock. uf Ripley, 81 years.
