OF the garden rake and the application OF

Oldest Sister In America.

Sister Ellen Joseph, of the Oblate
Sisters of Providence, who in point OF
age and length OF service enjoys the
distinction OF being the oldest religie-
use in the city Or state land, it is said,
in the entire country, is suffering from
nervous prostration at the mother
house of the order, says Baltimore
correspondent of the New York Free
mans journal. Her condition is not
serious, but in view of her advanced
age her ply stefan has given very strict
orders forbidding all visitors. as we'll
as anything that would tend to excite
her.
Sister Ellen Joseph is now IO1 years
old. When she first put on the habit
of the order, sixty years ago, she had
already reached the prime of life. Dur
ing the sixty years of service she has
performed nearly every task ever set
for a member of her community. Con-
nected with the convent is an orphan
asylum, in which there are about sew
enty-five little colored girls. Nobody
has been more active in the training of
the children than Sister Ellen. She
has been equally active in deeds of
charity outside of the convent. For
the last two years she has not left the
building, and for some time before
that she had not been able to take an
active share in the duties OF the COM
munity. Most of her time now is spent
in a wheeled chair in her room.
Up to the present time the intellect
ual faculties of Sister Ellen have been
wonderfully preserved, and she has al
ways alarge fund of recOllections to re-
late to the members of the order and
visitOrs. She very much en- Joys speak
ing of her early life, and her experien-
ces during the war of 1S12-14 when the
city of Washington was burned by the
British. She was born in Marlboro,
Prince Georges County, Md. 1871, of
slave parents, and was taken to Wash
ington with her parents by the family
OF her master in 1914 short time be-
fore the British arrived. Alarmed at
| the approach of the British, they all
fled at night, and from their place of
| refuge witnessed the burning of the
| capitol, the presidents house and the
| treasury. Sister Ellen remem bers

pie whom she saw in Washington dur

but he was not thinking of the lights
on which his eyes were fixed, neither
were his signs happy. This was the
night of Mrs. Van Cortlandt's dance.
For thirty years he had been going to
dinners and dances, but never, until
tonight, had he realized the weari-
ness and sameness of his life. He was
thinking of q night twenty years be-
fore. He saw the crowded ballroom
and the dimly-lighted conservatory:
he heard the distant music and the soft
splashing of u Fountain: he felt soft
hand In his and saw the shy, sweet
eyes of the girl he loved looking into
his, as she promised to marry him.
But the mole he had received the fol-
lowing day was also in his mind.

rise, but could not. She sank back on
her pillows. ''Plesse, Jack, come
here, l can't go to you.
Her husband crossed the room and
kneeling by her side buried his face in
her gown,

her fingers lovingly through his hair,
but as she touched it she thought with
a sudden psng that, in few days, a
few hours, perhaps, she would be past
touching him, past feeling anything,
Joy or pain. She pressed both his hands
to her lips for moment and then let
them fall in her lap. Only the mau's
sobs were heard for q little while.

ed her eyes and in q little while fell as
leep in the moonlight. Her husband
knelt by her chair holding her hands,
thankful that they were still warm
with life, thankful sDat he could still
hear her low, struggling breaths.
On the lowest floor of all were Van
Ruger's rooms. He had an appoint

Summer HVuiene.

Youths Companion.
Summer is the season for health and
of recuperation for those who know
| how to regulate their mode of living
in accordance with the special condi-
| tions of hot weather; but to those who
| still try to live as they do in winter it
is season of discomfort, if not of real
danger to health and life.
In winter the loss of heat from the
body ls rapid and continuous and we
seek by means of food and exercise to
stimulate heat production, and by
means of heavy clothing - limit heat
radiation from the body. In summer
we should do just the opposite, the OBJ
ject then being to reduce the activity
OF the vital processes within the
body and so to lessen the production of
heat.
There is no greater mistake than to
seek to whet the appetite in hot wealth
err by savory and highly seasoned dish
es, or by cocktails and othersappetizers
before eating. The desire for food is
naturally blunted at that season and
prOmptings. should be needed. Meat,
especially fat meat, should be taken in
small quantity, the diet consisting
mainly of fruits and green vegetables.
Thirst is greatly heightened in con-
sequence of the increased perspiratiOn,
and it should be gratified by frequent,
if not copious, draughts of cool water.
See to it, however, that the water is
pure water, not con illuminated with
sewage or the drainage of barns and
cattle-pens
1t is the fashion to decry ice water
and to drink it. Ice-cold water is not
| necessary to querch the thirst. but it Is
| &C cling and grateful, and if taken in
sips, and never more than a third of a
glass at time, it is not injurious.
The water should be cooled by putting
| the vessel containing it On ice, never
by putting Jumps of ice in the water.
The same commentator and caution
apply to ice cream: little of it. eaten
slowly, is nutritious and healthful: a
heapipg plateful gulped down rapidly
will offend the stomach.
A word concerning uEdercfothing
| may be timely. There is q controversy
| going on for and against WOODEN under
| garments. The writer personally pre-
| fers wool in both summer and winter
| and when of extremely light weight
| has found it decidedly the most com
Portable wear, even in tropical elm
ates; but the question, after all, is no,
SO much one of material as of texture.
The important point is that cloth for
| undergarments should be loosely WOW
en-: then it may be of wool, cotton
linen or silk, as the wearer prefers.

only one man had been considered. And
then, old Mrs. Kellogg, the wife Of the
Presbyterian minister. Her ideas were
impossible in world of men: but
Gardner knew that with his life spread
out before her he could not meet her
grave scOrnful eyes.She had been with
his mother the last time he saw her,
the little timid mother who had died
ten years before when he was in the
midst of a hot political struggle. He
had received a telegram in time to go
to her, but his absence in the city
would have meant disaster to his party
When the fight was won it was too
late, for the little mother was dead.
Gardner's thoughts we're interrupted
by the arrival of his secretary. The
successful politician explained that he
was too tired to work and sent his
clerk away, and the next morning he
stopped at Keppel's-betwe two COM

in a firm clear hand. a low chair was
drawn close to the fire and covered
with a soft gown which still held the
impress of it's owner. A great white
auRora cat slept peacefully on the r Jug,

Frank Gardner had attained his goal.
He was confident OF success in the ap-

been elected by them to fill the posi-

had always filed these positions well.

been many side attacks made by the

mind travelled rapidly back to the last

Land of the Sky.'

In western North Carolina, between
the Blue Ridge on the east and the AL
leghanies on the west, in the beautiful
valley of the French Broad, two thou
sand feet above the sea, lies Asheville,
beautiful, picturesque and wOrld-famed
as one of the most pleasant resorts in
America. 1t Is land of bright skies
and Incompatible climate, whose
praises have been sung by poets, and
whose beauties of stream, valley and
mountain height have furnished sub.

conscious OF the power within himself
To take hold of the work and make q
name aud place.
He heard soft voice hum
ming n waltz song and saw
the lights cleaning from the
line Of windows beneath him. He was
suddenly confronted with the idea OF
the Individual, unknown lives around
him. Hitherto he had considered him
self a unit, striving to reach a goal
against a community, also unit.
Now this community resolved itself in
TO parts, units, each one striving TO
reach the same goal, success in
life.
For the first time John Kendall
realized this Individual life, near him,
around him. under the same roof with
him and, while his cigar burned slowly
out. his mind was full of conjectu res
concerning, the people whose lighted
windows he could see beneath him.
In ouly one point were his iinaQin-
ings true: success was or has been the
goal of all.
In the room beneath him Mrs. Ali.
son had Just fastened q string of pearls
around her daughters white throat
and had looked into her wide blue eyes
with little psug OF regret. Tonight
she was giving her daughter to the
world and she wondered what 1t had in
store for her.
"Oh, mother. 1.-THE girl cried eagerly,
lam / all right? DO look we'll? Will
any one speak to me?"
After her mother left the room, she
opened her window and looked out in
10 tf fairy land made by the beautiful
night with its myriad lights. The wet
roofs gle .med in the moonlight, soft
clouds drifted across the star-filled sky,
