Keeping on With the Chores.

Iayinia Hart, a correspondent of the New York World, has recently un- earthed the most remarkable collection of old people living. They reside about Friendsville, mountain village of Pennsylvania. Perhaps the lofty skies and pure mountain air and sunshine of their home neighborhood have some thing to do with keeping them healthy and active to an age when most persons would have been moldering in the grave 40 years ago. But who knows?
 The facts are these: In a village of 135 people 97 average oyer 90 years of age. They range from 90 to 102 years
 The sexes are about equally represent ed among these aged men and women. Several of them were born ill Ireland. One old lady, Mrs. Garlin, has her eye sight so perfectly at the age of 102 that she has never had occasion to wear glasses. Four of the women are sisters, all single and living together in one house, as they have done all their lives. The oldest is 102; the youngest, 92. The youngest of the sisters has. been postmistress of Friendsyille 62 years. All four of them still engage with cease- less activity in the tasks, in door and out, appertaining to home in the coun- try. Until year ago they kept school ill their home Not less extraordinary is the record of the six war veterans whom Miss Hart found among the old people of Friendsyille. The oldest of these Is 95, the youngest 90, and every one of them served as private in the Union army during the civil war from start to finish. Not one of all these Friendsyille old folk Is decrepit or childish or helpless. They wait on themselves and attend to various other duties retaining their interest in affairs as actively as they ever did
 The secret of their long life, health, bodily strength and full possession of their mental faculties is one on which they unanimously agree. It is an open secret, valuable to every one, and here it is as expressed in tho words of one of the Friendsvil1e old people themselves:
 Work did it, work and plenty of it. It'll make anybody young and healthy and long lived-that is, of course, if they get plenty of sleep along with 1t. But long life don't depend on sleep, nor victuals, nor recreation. It de- pends on work, and no one yet lived over 100 l.; And as soon as you stop working you go of. That's why keep on with the chores and see to the garden in summer and manage to keep busy generally. Some folks say I'm old enough to take rest, but unless get anxious to take a long rest beyond I'm going to keep on with fhe chores

In Montana the annual loss of cattle, sheep and colts from the timber wolf and the coyote is not less than $250, 000 The loss in Wyoming, also i'll the east ern half of the Dakotas and i'll adjoin- ing states is on the same scale, so that ranchmen in the great live stock pro ducing region are out of pocket each year from $500. GOO to 1000, 00o
 Every remedy against the sneaking, treacherous brutes has been tried vainly thus far. Montana gives a bounty of $3 per wolf scalp. Last season the state paid in bounties $143, 997 The coyote can be poisoned, but the timber wolf is too shrewd for that He kills his own meat Ranchmen themselves often pay a bounty for the wolf's body and keep the akin. Nevertheless, as many as 20,000 eattle are lost from this cause in each of eyeral northwestern states.

An invention has been perfected whereby country people may have the benefit of the electric trolley road. A row of posts with a wire strung on them in the usual way supplies the mo- tive power to the wagon by means of an automatic reel over which cable winds and unwinds. The reel is placed inside the wagon. Equipped with this wag- on runs by electricity instead of horse power. It would be great thing in those country places where roads are impossible to horses on account of mud in winter time. The electrically pro- pelled wagon will move at d speed of 15 miles an hour. The countryman who wishes to loaf at the corner grocery can not blame the delay on the bad roads any moro after this device shall be adopted.

A rather curious legal decision has been rendered at Kingston, N Y. It is to the effect that subscription to church debt cannot be collected by law on the ground that the subscriber, if not member of the church, gets no consideration therefor Surrogate Betts rules that an outsider, nonchurch member, may be temporarily worked on in his feelings by fervent appeals to subscribe to help pay off a congrega- tion's debt when in his cool headed, saner moments he would not at all do such thing. It may be simply the contagious spirit of the occasion that prompts him to make the tender Under these circumstances the surrogate de- cides that when in the cool after mo- ments he takes no step to mako good his word he cannot be legally compelled to do so.

Mr.. Balfour Tells the House of Com
mons How England Stands.
LONDON. April 5.-The House of
Commons was crowded today with peo-
ple anxious to hear the statement of
Mr.. BaIfour. acting Secretary Of State
for Foreign Affairs, on the subject Of
the situation in the Far East. Balfour
enumerated the concessions obtained
by Great Britain, namely, that the re
gfon of the Yang-tse-Kiang should not
he alfenated by any foreign power;
that the successor of Sir Robert Hart
as director of the Chinese imeprial
maritime customs is to be an English
man. and that to the inland waters is
to behad by ships Of all nations.
A fourth concession, BalfOur cOntin-
ned. occurred only a day or two ago,
namely, the opening of three ne"
treaty ports. Funing, Yochau and Chm
Wang. This, according to Balfour, was
a considerable harvest for two months
negotiations.
Touching upon Wei-hai-wei, Balfour
said that Russia, having secured Port
Arthur. on the maritime approach to
Picking. Great Britain had occupied
Wei-hai-wei to balance matters.
''Wei-hai-wei is the only port on the
Gulf of Pechili which might balance
the possession of Port Arthur" said
Mr.. Balfour. while Port Arthur is
stronger. the accommodation at Wei
lhai-wei is inestimably greater, and by
taking Wei-hai-wei under our protec-
ton we prevent the Gulf OF PechlH
from falling under the maritime con-
troll of one power and thus defend our
interests"

THE WAR SITUATION.

While war between Spain and the
United States appears to be inevitable,
President Mckinley intends TO avoid
it is possible. He withholds his mes
sage to Congress, in order to keep the
matter in his own hands. He evidently
hopes that at the last moment Spain,
convinced Of the certainty of war, IN
less she yields, will consent to the in
dependence of Cuba on terms. This
may happen, but appears to be improb-
able. The moment the President sends
his message to Congress, he virtually
gives to that body the responsibility Of
declaring offensive action. And Con-
gress is prepared 10 act. The dispatch
es indicate that it is even disposed to
allow the President to act on his own
judgment
The only possible escape from i'm
mediate war, is an armistice, which it
will be difficult to obtain, or the yield
ing Of Spain which is possible, but i'm
probable. Still this may be the ''uneX-
pected'' at the last moment.

This day is the anniversary of the |
day on which Abraham Lincoln was
assassinated in 1865.
There can be no better commemora-
ton of it than by repeating an extract
from "a speech delivered in the Spanish
Cortes, by CASTELAR,, on the question Of
the emancipation of the slaves under
Spanish rule. 1t is regarded by some
as one of the choicest specimens OF
rhetoric in all literature, in its de-
scription of Lincoln's career:
81 beg that you will pause moment

terrible stain which obscured the stars
of the American banner. l beg that

in the impetuous current of the Ohio,
and at seventeen in the vast and tran
quill waters of the Mississippi; later
woodman with ak and arm telling the
immemorial trees to open way to un-

the ugly facts of his life, as we'll as

A Natural Mud Pie Foundry.

Uncle Sam has freak artesan wei.
on the Brule Indian agency that Is at
tracing widespread attention, says the
st. Paul Pioneer Press. 1t threw
six-inch stream of water when 1t was
first opened, and for several years
thereafter, but for about eight months
1t has been engaged in making mud
pies. Since that time an endless chain
of blue clay six inches In diameter has
been forced up through the pipe, rising
slowly above the casing TO a height of
ten feet, and then topping over on the
ground. The eruption continues night
and day. and the amount of clay so far
forced up from the bowels of the earth
has made 1t necessary for the Govern
ment to employ man to care for the
premises. Very little wafer comes up
with the clay. A noticeable popularity
of this well Is that the clay rises more
rapidly previous to the advent OF windy
weather, resuming Its steady, even
grind again on the return OF pleasan
weather.

Vaccination.

In the German army only six or seven
cases Of smallpox occur annually, and
there can be little doubt that this al
most complete immunity from a dis
ease which formerly decimated CONT
mental armies Is due to the thorough
way In which vaccination is carried
out. All recruits are reyaccinated, and
the regulations prescribe that there
shall be at least ten punctures in each
arm. A further confirmation of this
view may be found In the fact that the
one soldier who died from smallpox
In the period from 1874 to 1887 was
man who was twice unsuccessfully re-
vaccinated when recruited. There can
be no doubt that other diseases are
sometimes communicated through the
medium Of the vaccine lymph, but the
unprejudiced observer will probably
arrive at the conclusion that these
form but a very Insignificant fraction
of the number of smallpox cases which
would ensue from the abolition of vac
cination There are no doubt, many
objections to either human or animal
lymph, and we look forward to the time
when the cultivation of vaccine virus
shall take place In sterillzed medium
which can transmit no other disease.

How Fish Breathe.

Fish do not breathe air, but the life
supporting constituent of air-oxygen
gas-which Is soluble in water to the
extent of 3 volumes In 100 at ordinary
temperatures and 4 in 100 at freezing
point.
The water containing the dissolved
oxygen Is made to pass over the gills.
where 1t is separated from De blood
only by very thin membrane, through
which the gas Is able to pass.
Fish in ice-bound rivers have to de-
pend entirely upon this store of oxygen
for their respiration, and if 1t becomes
exhausted they are suffocated, just as
we should be IL deprived of oxygen.
1t rarely happens, however. that any
considerable area of water is entirely
covered with ice, especially In the case
OF rivers. Holes and cracks are almost
sure 10 occur here and there. by which
