| prof Finds Many More Fec
male Centenarians Than Males.

IT Is TRANCE, but true. that the most
| delicate child often outlivcs his strong
! or brother or sister. Many instances
! are on record of the survival Of those
| who seemed destined to die early. It's
said of yoltaire, who lived to be eighty
| four years old. that he was SO delicate
! ut birth he could o be baptized for
| several months. Sir Isaac Newton, the
doctors said. would not live a week.
Int ne celebrated his eighty-fifth BIRTH
day. Frontenelic lived to be 100, al
| though he was so frail at birth that
the priest had to go to his home to bap-
tize him.
Even more interesting than this is
the statement by Prof. Buchner that IL
is possible for n oma TO preserve her
Youthful beauty even TO her old age. or.
in some instances, TO regain 1t. The
Marquise of Mirabeau died at eighty
six with all the marks of youth in her
face. Margaret Nerdun, at sixty-tive,
smoothed out the wrinkles. her hair
grew again and her third set of teeth
appeared. Cases of this third denti-
ton are not rare.
The professor still gives further hope
for the fair sex in the announcement
that ONE live longer than men. A
French Marie PriouN. who
died in 1888, was said TO he los years
old. Statistics OF the various coun-
tries on this point are remarkable. In
Germany only 413 Of Loco males reach
the age of fifty-five. while more than
500 of 1000 females reach that age. In
the United States there are 2,5S3 fe-
male to 1898 male centenaridns. In
France. of ten ce%ntenarians, seven
were women and only three men. In
the rest OF Europe. Of t~wenty-seven
centenarians. sixteen were IN
The oldest person now living is held
TO be Annie Armstrong. who is III
years old, and lives In "A little town in

The entertainment at the church was
attended by a very large crowd and
was highly appreciated by the audi
ence. A panic was nearly created by
the back part of the floor falling in,
but the c~0olness Of Hon. Charles Jetton
prevented a stampede. In a command
ing tone. he admonished everybody 10
keep their seats, a. there was abSo-
lutely no danger; then, grabbing his
good wife by the arm, he said: Come
on, May, and lets get out of here, or
well get killed in a minute. Murray

Longest BEARD in the world.

Probably the longest beard In the
world is that of a metal worker In
Marseilles. The man Is seventy -four
years old. When fourteen years of age
he had a beard six inches long. IL
grew from year TO year, and now his
hirsute attachment when unrolled,
reaches the respectable length Of ten
feet ten inches. When the man goes
out walking he carries his beard rolled
up in a big skein under his arm. Since
he is rather small in size. measuring
but five feet three inches. his beard is
more than twice the mans height.

Can BE Collected.

In speaking of the tax muddle in Ell
mer and the order of the Council to
have all delinquent taxes collected at
once the Times says: 1.-THE leniency of
collectors and the neglect to enforce
the law has spoiled a lot of tax payers
in Elmer as well as elsewhere, and they
have gone so long without bearing any
share of the public burden that they
think they are proof against paying
taxes. Taxes are just as collectable as
a store bill, coal bill or any other kind
of a bill with the advantage in favor of
the municipality that they never get
outlawed. There are various ways in
which men escape, but it will be found
on a test that men who are worth any
thing must pay and that the penalty is
a term in jail for a refusal to pay per-
sonal taxes"
OF course, all taxes can be collected,
but too many people who are able to
pay on time if they would only make
provision lead collectors to per-
sonal indulgences that should not be
required of a public official, The term
of collector was made for three years
so that they would be more free from
political influences, but still more taxes
are returned than should be, and the
public never knows whether they are
aver collected.

The action of County School Super
intendent Dunn to get the various
school boards in the county organized
so as to have a uniform system of school
books is a good one While some may
claim.to purchase a certain class OF
text books may help certain publishers,
yet in these days Of concentrated ideas
and various pursuits of knowledge uni
formity in the line of education will
greatly help the pupils, First, in their
examinations. 1t is unfair for the
County Superintendent to send out
questions for youths to answer taken
from books which they have never
studied. Second, it will be economy
for the school boards, because when
there is a shortage of books in one
school, they may be had from another
in the township where there are more
than are needed. Third, it will make
it easier for a pupil as well as the teach

When shad Were Despised.

One can scarcely realize that
the touthsome shad was in Colonial
days a despised fish. Hired men used
to ~stipulate in their contract that only
a certain amount of shad would be fed
them each week. In a paper read be.
fore the American Fisheries Associa-
ton a few years ago Charles Hallock
told of q prosperous family who were
eating shad for dinner when a knock
was heard at the door. Fearing TO be
caught eating shad by a visitor, they
thrust the dish under the table. Shad
were paddled at one cent each in the
colony towns. The New England riv-
ers we're fun of them. Indians speared
them in large quantities and smoked
them for winter use, but the settlers
would not look at them. The possibili.
ties of this delicious fish have been re-
vealed to civilized people only within
the last fifty ears.-StrOller IN the SO.
JerSeymdn.
Shad are natives of the Atlantic
coast. A few years ago they were i'll
troduced on the Pacific coast where
they are now plentiful, but are despised
and considered almost worthless, being
uSeu ny tie ltdiIdnS anu otlel pooI
people. The salmon is the king of food
fish and they are SO plentiful on the
Pacific coast that most people don't
want shad with so many bones any
more than people here want herring
The attempt to introduce salmon on
the Atlantic coast has been unsuccess
full.
George d. Shannon who was On the
Pacific coast a few years ago, states
that when shad were first introduced
there a man paid So for the first one
caught. That man now would not give
S. for all on the Pacific coast. nir.
Shannon saw shad sold for two bits
(25c) a box 40 to As less than a cent a
piece. Shad visit the Pacific inlets
twice a year.
