SHE KNEW TOM MOORE.
''The Last Rose of summer" Had Been
Dedicated to Her.

''The Last Rose of summer" Had Been
Dedicated to Her.
Mrs. Amelia Koehler died at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. S. M. Saur.-
dsrs, at Mount Vernon, N. Y, recent
ly. Thomas Moore's poem, ''The Last
Rose of SUMNER was dedicated to
her. Mrs Koehler's maiden name was
Amelia Offergeld, and she was born in
AK la Chapelle 80 years ago. Her IA
ther was an officer in the Prussian army
and her mother was of British descent.
Mrs. Koehler used to tell of visits of
General Butcher to her fathers villa.
She said he used to bring her sweetmeats
and trot her on his knee. She also re-
membered about Napoleon and the dis
paragement with which he was spoken
of by her father and his friends. When
she was 10 years old, she was sent to
London, and there she attended school
kept, she said, by a sister of the poet
Thomas Moore, of whom she used to
tell the following story:
Moore frequently visited the school
and became acquainted with the pupils.
He took liking to her and would spend
hours in conversation with her. One
day as they were sitting in the garden
she plucked a rose, and, placing it on
the lapel of the poets waistcoat, ex-
claimed, ooh. now I have given you
the last rose of summer!'' 1t was, in
fact, the solitary rose of the garden,
which had been left blooming alone.
my child" said the poet, "you have
made beautiful suggestion, and when
l have written some verses on it they
shall be dedicated to you"
Amelia when she was 10 years old
married Charles Koehler, an importer
of Bond street in London. He died 40
years ago, and since then she had lived
with her daughters in the United States
and England.
Mrs. Koehler leaves children, grand
children, great grandchildren and great
great-grandchildren in France, Ger
many and the United States and in
many of the British colonies. New

His Grace Sells Family Jewels.

The young Duke of Manchester,
whose father died a short time ago,
leaving his estates very much incum-
bered, is selling at auction the jewels OF
the family, which are said to be among
the finest in Great Britain. The dow
ager duchess, who was Miss Consuelo
Yznaga, New York lady of Cuban an
cestry, is left with a short allowance,
while the young duke finds himself
heavily in debt. The diamonds of the
late duke are said to be notable, but a
famous necklace containing no less
than $50 large pearls is the finest piece
in the collection. This was put up at
auction the other day. The bidding
started at $40, 900 and rose gradually to
500, 500, but it was withdrawn by the
auctioneers The necklace is said to
have cost over $50, 900.

ERRORS IN LIVING.
Mans Excessive Appetite and the BOdy's
Capacity For Food.

Capacity For Food.
To the lay mind nothing seems to au-
CUR SO strongly in favor of robust health
as a hearty appetite. Furthermore,
there would seem to be a strong con-
viction in the public mind, sanctified
by tradition from time almost imme-
mortal, that the more man eats the
better he is. The quantity of food that
many people naturally eat is very large
as compared with their actual physi-
illogical requirements. Add to this the
many tempting forms in which food is
presented to the palate by our modern
culinary arts, the sharpening of the ap-
petite by the anteprandial cocktail, the
stimulus afforded the appetite by bot
tie Of good wine, and the result is often
the consumption of an amount of food
that simply overwhelms the assimila-
tive organs. Such indulgence, if unre-
stricted and habitual, taxes both the as
similative and the excretory organs to
their highest capacity, especially when
coupled with sedentary life, and, more
over, it lends an additional impetus to
the evils springing from the use of i'm
proper quality OF food.
The human celebrating and excretory
mechanism was evidently adjusted for
ordinary wear and tear to an average
limited period of about 10 years. I'm
der 40 per cent of extra work we must
naturally expect impairment or break
down of the mechanism much earlier.
It should therefore excite no special
surprise that so large proportion of our
we'll to 40 people die from Bright's dis
ease, heart failure and allied diseases at
90 or SO who should, and under prop
erly regulated lives and habits would,
have attained the natural age of 70 or
over. Paradoxical though it may seem,
such people usually spring from excep-
tionally healthy stock and often point
with pride to the fact that their imme-
diate ancestors lived to advanced ages
of 60years or more. This paradox, how
ever, is more apparent than real, for in
vestigation will usually reveal the fact
that for the most part the parents in
such cases were people of more simple
habits, such as correspondent with New
England life 70 or 100 years ago.
The truth is that the we'll to do man
of today lives in faster age than that
of his father and grandfather. He meets
with greater opportunities and posi-
bilities and therefore greater stimulus
to all his energies. He more easily ac-
quires pecuniary resources, and in
larger amounts, and therefore he pos
sesses greater Injuries of domestic life
With these come greater temptations to
excess. While he has often inherited a
splendid constitution from his ances-
tors, unlike them he has run his phys
ical mechanism at breakdown rate,
and it must of necessity more quickly
wear out.-Charles W, Purdy, M. D. 1,
in North American Review.

In this day of slang and slipshod
English it is quite refreshing to find one
home in which our mother tongue is APP
preciated and sins against its purity
duly resented.
That there is at least one such was
made evident in a quarrel which took
place in literary household between
the two youngest inmates-a quarrel,
like most childish differences, soon
over, but fierce while it lasted.
When his wrath had reached its
height, the small son of the house,
quivering with anger, sought for Ian
guage to denounce his sister, who had
been the aggressor.
"You bad" he burst forth, stamping
stubby shoe; you bad, you bad"-
Words failed him. Then with fash
of truly literary inspiration he conolud-
ed, "You bad grammar, youP'-Youth g

COUNTING APPLE SEEDS.

Beside the hearth one winter night,
Made rosy by the great logs light,
That, flaming up the chimney dark,
Hit every Granny, every nook,
Upon the rug a little maid
Sat curled in pose delnure and staid.
In pensive mood, with dreamy eyes,
She sits, while up the chimney flies
A thought with every fiery spark
Glinting and flashing through the dark,
Till with sigh profound and deep
She moves as one moves in her sleep.
A rosy apple in her hand
A weight of thought seems to demand.
She taps it with finger light,
Then carefully she takes a bite,
Another bite, now one, now two.
The core is thus exposed to view.
Another sigh! What can it be,
My little maid, that aileth theeP
All! What is this? Some incarnation,
Muttered with such reiterationP
Hank! As each seed her bright ewes see.
These are the words that come to me:
lone l love, two l love,
Three love, l say!
Four love with all my heart
Five cast away
Here tear rolls brightly down.
What the secret she has wonP
Who can say? But just behind
Sounds a voice so soft and kind:
Look again! Thou must indeed
Find for me another seed!"
Roster her bright cheeks grow
In the tirelight's rudy glow.
Sure enough, a culprit seed
Finds she in the core indeed.
"From thy lips fain would hear
What the sixth one MEANS my dear"
six he loves" she murmured low.
And the tirelight's Pickering glow
Two happy faces now disclose,
With cheek7 h-glowing like the rose.
But here x. :. let the curtain fall,
For the end is best of all.

A WOMAN COLLEGE DEAN.
Miss Emery Has Been Selected to Fill a
New Office.


Miss Emery Has Been Selected to Fill a
New Office.
Miss Annie Crosby Emery of Ellis
worth, Me-, has been selected to fill the
new office of dean of women at the
University of Wisconsin. She will also
act as assistant professor of classical
philology. Miss Emery is young wo-
man to be selected for such high honors,
but she has passed through a course of
study designed to perfect her in the du-
ties of her new office. She entered Bryn
Mawr college in 1888 and was gradual
ed with the degree of A. B. in 1892.
She also won the European fellowship
that year. She continued work in Latin
and Greek at Bryn Mawr in 1898, hav-
ing specialized i'll these subjects as an
undergraduates After this she went
abroad and attended the University Of
Leipsic and heard lectures ON Latin,
Greek and Sanskrit by Professors Brug-
mann, Riffeck, Gardthausen, Arndt,
Lipsius and Windisch. She resumed her
studies at Bryn Mawr during the latter
half of the 19945 term, and in the fol-
lowing term she continued graduate
work i'll the classical departments of
Bryn Mawr, taking the degree of Phi.
d. in 1896. Her thesis, entitled "The
Historical Present In Early Latin, p" has
since been highly commended.
In connection with the selection Of
Miss Emery it is interesting to note
that another woman has been selected
to place on the faculty of Cornell col
lege. Miss Louise Sheffield Brownell

of cotton: THE drift towards very low
prices for cotton continues New records
for the season have been made this week
The chief depressing cause has been an
enormous rush of supplies to markets, in
which buyers were without enthusiasm or
even courage. Light frost in many sections
of the south has not helped the bulls A de-
cline of two and one-half sixtE-fourths in
Liverpool this morning, was responded to
by a slightly lower opening here. The de-
mand was very good, however, and after
frequent moderate fluctuations, the mar
ket closed steady at about last nights
prices January opened at 5S5c advanced
to 5.89c, declined to 5.S4c, rallied again and
closed al 5.S6c bid. The influences at work
and the conditions in the market are prac-
tically unchanged. Poor trade in cotton
goods, and the strained relations between
the mill owners and their employees in
England, are still disquieting features. The
drop in prices has not attracted any gen
eral speculation. AS yet the very heavy
movement has resulted in strengthening
the convictions of large crop believers and
in discouraging those who believe in
moderate one. The trade generally now
regards 100000 bales as about the cor
rect figure, while the radical bears are
making much larger estimates. The move
ment in the near future will continue very
large, but as this is known to every one it
is only fair to presume that the course of
prices has discounted, it Somewhat. We
think that the swing of the market pendu-
lum has carried prices too low and that
whatever cotton may do temporarily it is
an investmtn mt we'll worth watching at any
thing like these prices. A killing frost is
due at any time, but it is doubtful wheth-
er it would have any permanently bene-
fetal effect upon the market. Although
sentiment here is, stin bearish, under no
consideration can we advise short sales.
