sorry for 1t. she declared; and
few persons who run away IN
childhood are able to say as much, al
ter a hundred years! Aunt Hannah
on this occasion, was celebrating her
one hundred and seventh birthday.
She was born in New York in 1885,
and was the daughter Of a German
sailor named Miltenberger. who died
In her infancy. Her mother was mar
ried again to a man who treated the
child cruelty. The family removed to

seven Years old, on a spring day when
the belated snow covered the ground,
little Hannah, though in bare feet and
very thinly clad. ran away and wan

the southwark of the city. Night came
on. Cold and hungry. Hannah crept
Into the porch of a house that stood
near the road. covering her half frozen
feet with her scanty skirts. This did
not warm them. and fearing that they
would freeze, she stamped them
against the floor OF the porch. Then
she heard a hoarse voice from within
call:
Who's there?"
She trembled. and kept quiet. The
call was not repeated; but after time
her feet again became so cold that shG
could not help knocking them against
the threshold. Again came the voice:
Who's there, | say? II you don't
answer, I'll shoot through the door"
This did not brighten her much, for
she was so cold, so hungry and so I'M
happy that she did not care IL she were
shot to death. She did not go away,
but crouched in silence. almost hold
ing her breath; and then something
else happened, for around the corner
OF the house came an enormous ami
NAL growing threateRingly. Hannah's
heart stood still an instant, and then
she saw that the animal was not a
wolf nor a bear, but a dog. This re-
assured her. for so far in her short
life it was among dogs she
had found her only friends.

dangers Of this kind will be Of timely
interest The general belief that the
French president is constantly attend
ed by a corps of policemen and detect
Ives in uniform Is erroneous. On the
contrary, few such persons accompany
him on his daily journeys. Still. let a
hand be raised against him, and from
all quarters paid agents would rush to
his assistance. OF course, the Elysee
palace IL constantly guarded by sold
iers, and policemen are regularly on
duty wherever the president may hap

ever, do the authorities rely as on the
detectives. whom very few see and
hardly any one recognizes. Twenty
such detectives are constantly at the
Elysee, their chief being NJ. Gourdot.
These twenty are divided into two
brigades, each OF which Ia on duty
every second day. These men are care
fully selected by the chief OF police,
and they receive their instructions
from the officer in charge of the presi-
dents residence.
When the president leaves Paris
eleven of these detectives go with him
and nine remain at the Elysee. The
eleven receive each a salary Of 10
francs daily, which is paid to them
through the minister of the interior.
Ten of them are divided into two
brigades, and the eleventh acts as a
sort of watchdog for the presidents
carriage. being assisted by five special
guardians, who walk on each side of
the carriage, two on the left and three
on the right, the latter being the side
on which the president always sits.
These special guardians are expected
to take care of the presidents person.

A Curious Freak Of Nature.

Gus Frisch, who lives near Thirty-sey-
enth and Market streets, is the owner
of u curiosity for which he has received
many tempting offers from museum man
ayers, but which he refuses to sell.

ceived from his brother, who is mis-
si0nary III India, two eggs that were
joined together. A note accompanying
THEM explained that they were peacock
eFgs ana great curiosity on account of
their sttange form. Now, Mr.. Frisch has
friend in West Philadelphia who is
poultry farmer, and the idea struck him
to have the eggs hatched in an incubator:
In the course Of month the shells fell
apart. and, instead of two separate birds
stepping out, the pair came forth joined
together by thick band of what APP
beared to be gristle. BY dint of extreme
care and careful feeding the strange pair
were niirsed through babyhood, and are
now beginning to get pin feathers of vari-
6iis colors Their odd appearance cxctes
DO end Of curiosity, and they are interest
ing for another reason. Jack, the right
hand bird, is very fond Of Mr.. Frisch,
while Ned, the other, shows an extreme
aversion to his master. When Mr.. Frisch
returns home from work he gives shrlll
whistle, and then fight ensues. Jack
tugs toward his master, while Ned pulls
the opposite way. Things are only set
tied by one or the other being whipped,
when the victor follows his inclination,
dragging the vanquished bird with him.

1t is usually great mistake to fatten
farrow cows in the fall, when aIl meats
are cheapest from the glut in the market
which always occurs at this season.
Usually IL farrow COW, if given succu-
lent food and MIXED regularly, will more
than pay her way by the milk she pro-
duces until spring. Then if you keep on
giving the succulent food and add some
grain meal with it also, drying up the
COW quickly, the COW will fatten very
rapidly, and her meat will not be tough
and innutritious, as COW beef usually is
We have often killed and used COW beef,
fattened thus, which was so tender and
juicy that visitors who ate it could scarce
ly be persuaded that it was not young
steer beef they were eating. The trouble
i'll fattening cows generally is that they
are fattened too slowly, owing to the eff
fort to keep up large milk production
while the fattening process is going on.
Of course this requires very heavy
feeding to do this, and as succulent food
is OH most farms rather scarce in winter,
the COW gets very little of it. With only
dry feed, and that very rich. the cow
becomes feyerish because her digestion is
impaired. This takes all the juices out
of her flesh, leaving it dry, hard and not
very nutritious. On the other hand, the
young animal which has not gone through
this experience Of indigestion produces
meat which can be easily digested, and
which accordingly will always bring high
er prices than cow beef, however excel
lent the latter may be.
The experience of Il neghbor in fatten-
ing COWS on Hubbard squash may be III
structive. He grew one year Il field Of
seven acres of the SQUASH opening them
and selling the seed: The price offered
for the squash itself was so low that
he decided it would not pay to haul to
the market, which was nine miles dis
tant. So he bought four old COWS which
were nearly dry and began feeding them
all the squash they would eat, together
with at first a little meal: In seventy
five days those cows We're thoroughly fat
tened. When killed their flesh proved
excellent and tender Doubtless a diet
of pumpkins, or roots or of ensilage would
produce as good results as did the feed
of squash. The point of most impor-
lance is to give succulent food of some
sort, and thus keep the digestive organs
always in good order.-American Guilt

Who begs for love hut wastes his speech
When fir too humbly he implOreS;

The being whom he thus adores.
And so, though courtly We're her ways,
a veil Of scorn her visage bore;
Indifferent to his prayers and praise
She turned the beggar from the door.
The beggar was not overshrewd,
And perfect love had made him blind;
Not his to see Il changing mood
Not his to fathom woman's mind.
For she in musing on his fate
Felt pity for the suitor spurned,
And pity turned to love--too late,-
