Arrest.

Mrs. Mary z. Cooper, the wife of Mr..
John Cooper, died at her residence,
eO6 Saint James st Friday morning,
Jan. 18th, at q quarter OF 1 o'clocK.
The deceased, who had been q long
suffer.r was lady OF sterling chris
tian qualities Her social qualities
were of such a character as to endear
her to a very large number of friends
who lament their loss. The bereaved
family painfully mourns her death

the 9Th st. Baptist Church ever since
its organization. Her funeral took
place at that Church Sunday Ian. 17th,
at 3 o'clock. The pastor, Rev. w. F
Graham, was assisted by Revs. Jack
son of Texas and 8. @. Burrell Of the
Y NJ. @. A
As the pastor portrayed the beauti.
full character OF the deceased }. the en-
tire audience of about fifteen hundred
people seemed to have been moved tC
tears.
The solo rendered by Miss Emily
Price was fitting for the occasion. The
many floral designs and resolutions oi
coincidence were we'll deserved by thii
most admirable character. Among
those who paid tribute OF respect
were the Ladies Auxiliary or the M
G. A.. Keturah Tent. No. 81, and Naom
Council, No 30. of st Lukes.
The following gentlemen acted a
pall-bearers: Honorary, Rev. 3. @
Rurrell and Joshua Griffin; Active
James A Wilson, William E. Wilson
Samuel Baker. Peter w. Riley, Wes

"Dear as thou vert, and justly dear,
We would not weep for thee;
One thought shall check the sterlini
tear,
1t is that thou art free.
Gently the passing spirit fed,
Sustained by grace divine;
Oh, may such grace on Us be shed,
And make our end like thine"

Mixed English.

American and English tourists who
visited Ischl, III Austria, recently were
confronted with the following notice on
a signboard over the door of one of the
hostelries of the place, "To the gentle
mans Englanders and Americaners, here
you become asses. - Upon inquiry it
was learned that the purport of the sim
gular sign was that the proprietor Of the
place had donkeys to let which were
used for excursions into the neighboring
mountains \ much travelled cobbler,
who professed to be able to master the
English language, was responsible for
the unique wording of the sign. He had
translated the German sentence, IAN
die Herren Highlander ind Amerikaner,
hier bekommt ihr Esel, " the latter four
words meaning here you can hire

Wilmer MoLean's Two Historic Houses.

General Horace Porter describes the
surrender of Lee in his Campaigning
With Grant" in The Century. The sur
render took place in the house of Will
mer Mclean, it will be remembered.
General Porter says: 1t is singular
historical coincidence that Mclean S
former home was upon Virginia farm
near the battle-ground of the first Bull
Run, and his house was used for time
as the headquarters of General Beaure-
gard. When it was found that this fight
was so popular that it was given an en-
core and a second battle Of Bull Run
was fought the next year on the same
ground, Mr. Mclean became convinced
that the place was altogether lacking IN
repose, and, to avoid the active theater
of war, he removed to the quiet village
Of Appomattox, only to find himself
again surrounded by contending armies
Thus the first and last scenes Of the war
drama in Virginia were enacted upon
his property.

hest Avenues to Success Are Fond Out"
side Our Largest Cities.
Business conditions of the great cit
les are not favorable to young men,
writes Edward w Box in The Ladies'
Home Journal, advising young men
about to begin their careers against 60
ing to the big cities st is said, !" he
continues, THAT competition develops
men. 1t does unquestionably. But to
cope with present competition as it ex-
lists in the centers calls for a vast
amount of experience. That experience
a man must have back of him before he
can enter the competing arena. But
how can l better acquire that experience
than where there is constant need of it,!
How better, my young friend? By serv-
ing q long apprenticeship in some city
smaller than the greatest. The large
cities are today poor places in which to
learn the rudiments of business COM
petition, for while the young man Is
learning the experienced man swallows
him up. But that is experience, per-
sists the young man. 1t is, but more
severe kind than there is need ola
kind which, once INDUCED in, does not
leave pleasant remembrance Compe-
tition in smaller city may be just as
keen proportionately; but, what is all
important to the young man starting
out the risks are not so great, the ex-
perience is not apt to be so costly
should he fail to succeed. 1t is true
saying that man before he succeeds In
business must expect to measure his
height on the ground time or two.
But it is not necessary that i'll his first
Touchdown be should be knocked out.
But there is another and moro i'm
portant fact which the young man
away from the large cities does not
realize 1t is that the number Of posi-
BILE positions III the large cities is not
increasing, despite the reiterated asser-
tons constantly made to the contrary.
The very opposite is the truth. Various
causes explain this-higher taxes, high
er prices Of lots, or lack Of building
room, labor strikes and lower cost of
production. The manufacturing inter
ests of this country are constantly tend
ing toward the smaller cities and away
from the centers. And this means fewer
positions, since only in rare instances
does the executive branch of business
call for larger number Of employees
than does the manufacturing side.
Strange as the change of current may
seem, it is nevertheless fact that the
young man who today leaves q good
sized city of actual manufacturing adj
vantages turns his back ON what in a
few years will be one of the industrial
beehives of America "

The Spanish Main,

The Spanish main is the circular
bank of islands forming the northern
and eastern boundaries of the Caribbean
sea, beginning at Mosquito and includ-
ing Jamaica, Santo Domingo, the Lee
ward islands and the Windward islands,
with the coast of Venezuela, in South
America. The word main" has no af-
finity with the English word as in main
land, but comes from the Spanish word
manea, shackles, given in reference to
the imaginary resemblance Of the broken
chain of islands to that in early days. IA

IN THE ANIMAL KINGDOM.
The Duration of Life Varies According to
Circumstances.


circumstances.
Among the long lived in the animal
kingdom we may mention birds, fish
and reptiles, although even in the lower
animals the duration of life varies I'M
mensely, according to the species Of
fish, the carp are especially long lived.
Among birds, some of the parrot spe-
cies are supposed to live over 100 years.
The swan, the raven, the eagle, are also
credited with great length of life.
In the mammalia, the elephant at
tains the greatest age. 1t grows for 20
to 80 years and is said to live from 100
to 100 years and even longer. We have
no accurate means Of ascertaining the
whales age A lion is said to have lived
70years in the Tower, but there is no ev-
idence that he attains anything like that
age in the natural state Forty years is
recorded by naturalists as the extreme
age. The camel may attain the age Of
so. 1t eats little and drinks less. The
horse is comparatively short lived ami
NAL, but it is a well known fact that
when he does little work and passes the
greater part Of his days in pasture he
may attain to about 40 years of life,
but when horse is hard worked and
fed, moreover, upon beans, oats and
other ossifying foods his days are much
shorter.
In the vegetable kingdom the yew at
tains great age. Those at Fountains abb
hey are about 1900 years old. Two
orange trees at Rome, planted respec-
lively by st. Dominic and Thomas
Aquinas, are said to be from 500 to 600
years old, and there are records Of trop-
ical trees that, counting by their rings,
are supposed to have attained the age
of 500 to 1000 years. Nineteenth Cen
