Husband and Wife for Eighty Seven Years.
Mr., and Mrs. Jacob Hitler. who

Husband and Wife for Eighty-Seven Years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Hitler, who
live near La Grange, Ind, have just
completed eighty-seven years of mar.
ried life, and both bid fair to live few
years longer. Mr.. Hitler is now 107
years old and his wife l05, and the
little frame cottage they occupy has
been their home for nearly eighty-fve
years. This house consists of one
room, and this room contains all the
aged couples earthly possessions.
Mr.. Hitler is vigorous looking man
for his extreme old age. His hand is
as strong and his step as firm as those
of man Of forty. His eyes are bright,
and his long hair falls in unmixed
whiteness almost to his shoulders.
His wife has long since passed under
the spell of old age. She is bent al
most double with the weight of her
years and is totally blind. cts a
caution, !" says Mr.. Hitler, speaking of
his age. II never counted on living
SO long or anything like it." He tells
how he was born in Jamestown, near
Kingston, Canada. He was twenty
two years gid when the war of 1912
came along, and he describes Canada
as a very wild country in, those years.
The first year of the war he and his
wife left Canada and settled near
Marine City, and went from there to
Eminent, whence they came to their
present home. They were married
when Mr.. Hitler was twenty and his
wife eighteen. With his old age have
come symptoms of a second childhood,
the most amusing and amazing Of
which is the cutting Of two teeth lately.
The old couple have eleven children,
the oldest eighty-two and the younges.

A Beautiful Cretan Custom.

One Of the curious Cretan customs
which prevail on the eve of every insur-
rection is known as adelphopoiesis, or
determination. One of its immediate re-
suits is the cessation of all feuds, en-
nifty and rancor. 1t is carried out as fol-
lows: A number of individuals choose a
young girl, who must be pretty-no diff
ficult matter IL Crete. They inform her
parents of their intention, and the need
full consent is never withheld Then a
priest is sent for and told TO begin the
ceremony. He takes very long girdle
and joins all the men with il in circle
in the center of which the young girl is
placed. Then the clergyman recites q
number of prayers and winds up by Civ
ing his benediction TO all present. The
moment he pronounces the last amen
the circle and It's center stand in the re-
lation of brothers and sister to each 9TH
.er to all religious and social intents and
purposes. Each and every one Of the
males is bound in honor-and Cretan
knows no more sacred obligation-to
protect that girl throughout her life,
but none of them can ever take her for
mis- wife. She is and remains their sister
in the eyes of the priest and people to
the end of her days, but they must also
stand by and succor each other, and if
needs be at the cost of life itself Fort

The First Calliope.

On the 4th of July, 1856, the first CALI
Ope, or 'steam organ, made its debut ut
Worcester, Mass. 1t was invented by u
machinist of that city named Joshua 9.
Stoddard, who is said to have toiled most
of the time night and day for over year
in reducing the harsh screech of escaping
steam through the bell whistles so that
they finally became trained musical notes.
The foundation of the machine was laid
and all the details, from inception to COM
pletion, were carried out in the machine
shops of Wood 81 Light, the proprietors
aiding the young inventor In every possible
manner. When the Worcester papers an
nounced that "Stoddard's gigantic music
al novelty" had been completed, every
body in Massachusetts,, 1t appeared, was
anxious to get look at the machine and
hear it blow hurricane of music.
At last the city authorities took the
matter in hand and hired the curious con-
trivance for use on Independence day.
The great musical machine was accord
ingly loaded on special train and taken
to Providence. The operator did himself
and the calliope great credit during the
journey, keeping up constant roar Of
music from the beginning to the end Of
the trip, thus giving those along the route
chance to hear If not to see tho new
wonder.

burma and Buddhism.

Burma Is country dominated by an
idea, or rather set of ideas, which owe
their origin to the influence of Buddhism.
The Burman holds the view that this life
is n sorry thing at the best and that the
wisest course is, therefore, to get through
1t with as little care, worry and anxiety as
possible. The world is nevertheless at the
same time full of good things, which all
can enjoy. Therefore why toll for wealth,
which brings only burden of care in it's
train? Why strain every nerve when posses
sion means the anxiety to hold and pre-.
serve? The bounteous earth supplies rice
for the needs of all her children, and while
there are love and laughter and gayety to
solace us, while leisure can be secured and
peace maintained, let us enjoy and be
happy. Here we strike the keynote of the
life of the Burmans. Strangers call them
lazy, but they are not idle except on prin-
ciple. They can work splendidly when
they choose, but they have long ago de-
cided that to turn the world into work.

sistence, or in order to gather up riches, is
