LONG LIV ES.
Statlsticians Say That Women Outlive
Men.

say Ahh oth outiiN
1t is strange but true that the most
delicate child often outlives his strong
err brother or sister. Many instances
are on record of the long survival of
those who seemed destined to die early.
1t is said of Voltaire, who lived to be
"a years old, that he was so delicate
at birth he could not be baptized for
several months. Sir Isaac Newton, the
doctors said, would not live a week,
but he celebrated his e~ighty-fifth birth
day. Fontanelle lived to be 100, al
the priest had to go to his home to
baptize him. Even more interesting
than this is the statement by Prof.
Buchner that it is possible for a wom-
an to preserve her youthful beauty
even to old age, or, in some instances,
to regain it. The Marquise of Mira
beau died at SO with all the marks OF
youth in her face. Margaret Verdun
at 65 smoothed out the wrinkles, her
hair grew again and her third set OF
teeth appeared. Cases of this third
dentition are not rare. The professor
has still further hope for the fair sex
in the announcement that live
longer than men. One French woman
Marie PriouX, who died in 1888, was
said to be 1853 years old. Statistics Of
the various countries on this point are
remarkable. In Germany only 413 d
1000 males reach the age of 80, while
more than 500 Of 1000 females eacf
that age. In the United States there
are 1858 female to 1898 male centen'
arians. In France, of ten centena
rians seven were ONE and only three
men. In the rest of Europe, Of twenty
one centenarians sixteen were women
The oldest person now living Is helt
to be Annie Armstrong, who is IL
years old, and lives in a little town il
County Glare, Ireland.

1t cheered Mr.. Letson to watch the

sol thought. Presently he wrote his
home address on the back of an en-
velope and gave it to the boy.

in a couple of months from now" he
said, land maybe l can arrange to get
you an education that will keep you

When he went to pay the cashier he
drew from his pocket, with other coin
the gold piece.
He handed it to the boy, who a;

tuitively perceived its value.
"Da's a Christmas gif', amt 1t

In Elkton, Md, they held a queer
funeral last week. A cat belonging to
a wealthy man died, and he had made
a beautiful black coffin, covered with
cloth, studded with ~gold-headed nails
and finished with four silver handles.
Then he dressed poor kitty in a black
shroud and put her in the coffin, where
she lay for two days for all her friends
to see and meow over. Then he had
four boys act as pallbearers, and they
had a regular cat funeral, and planted
flowers over pussy's grave. When the
cat was young, which vas 10 years
ago, it was a great friend of its mas
ter's little daughter, who died, and that
is why he thought so much of pussy
and gave it such an expensive funeral

ROYAL COOKS.
European Princesses Are All Good

Housewives
1t would be hard to find in all Ger
many "a princess who Is not a good
cook and housekeeper. For more than
a hundred years the daughters Of rul-
ers in Germany have been carefully
trained in these arts. Empress Au-
glista Victoria took lessons in cooking
when she was a young girl, and she
was also so skilled as a dressmaker
that even after she became empress
she had her attire MAIDS under her
own personal supervision. Grand Ouch
ess Louise of Baden told her only
daughter, Princess Victoria, wife of
the crown prince of Sweden, never to
forget that every woman, whether
she lives in a palace or a cottage,
should be a careful h~ousekeeper and a
perfect cook" Princess Victoria did
not forget this lesson, and there are
few better housekeepers or cooks than
she Is. Some of the princesses of Eng
land are trained nurses, and the Prin-
cess of Wales is a skilled bookbinder.
The queen mother of Holland took care
Ihdl ueI OHly Nlluelmlna,
should be carefully instructed In the
domestic arts, and as a result 1t Is said
that the young lady is lot only a good
cook but also an excellent l~aundress.
When she was a child her greatest de-
light was to wash and iron her own
clothes. She also learned how to knit,
but was not patient enough for such
work. when | become queen I'll see
that the poor people, who work so
hard and get so little, are we'll treated
she said n day when she found that,
do what she would, she made no prog
ress with her knitting. At the court
OF Vienn the young people are care
fully instructed in foreign languages.
After Emperor Francis Joseph became
engaged to Princess Elizabeth of Ba-
Varia, one of his first acts was to fur
nlsh her with teachers who were to
instruct her In the Italian, Hungarian
and Bohemian languages, and great was
his satisfaction when he was informed
In a short time that his betrothed was
making excellent progress in, those Ian
guages. The queen mother, however
was not yet satisfied. She remem-
bered that the Emperor of Austria was
also King Of Poland, and she insisted
that the future empress should also
learn Polish.

N EW FAD.
How the Up-to-Date Girl Seals He,
Letters.

Letters.
My lady has a new fad about her ma
peterie which this time has nothing to
do with the size or shape of the en-
velope or the tint of the paper, The
fad has just begun to gain a hold on
New York society girls, but II Ia seen
often enough for the letter carriers to
have noticed 1t, and If you carefully
inspect envelopes the fair sex have
used that come to your notice you will
soon see what 1t is. When she seals
her letters now the u~p-to-date girl no
longer puts the seal in the apex of the
triangle made by the flap of the en-
velope, but carefully sets 1t about two
inches to the left, as the envelope lies
address side down, on her writing ia
BILE. Just what the reason for this is
or what the origin OF it was none OF
the fair ones who are following the
fad seems to be exactly sure. Its 40
novel, though" one of them explained
and the seal really looks much more
artistic on to one side than planted
right in the center" Rumor has II
that the fad started from a letter re-
ceived from a New York girl now in
Paris who has quite a reputation
among her friends for doing original
things. AS SO many OF the styles and
fads come from the capital of France
that seems as good an explanation as
any

The T. NJ. Roberts Supply House Of
Minneapolis, Mimi, which advertised
a remarkably liberal knife offer in a
recent issue of our paper, wishes
to have it explained to our readers
that through a mistake in electrotyp-
ing, the numbers over each of the
knives were reversed. The Cattle
knife should be II S. B., and the Con-
gress knife Z S. B. Their remarkable
offer to send 81 packages of garden
seeds and the Congress knife for II
cents, or 81 packages of seeds and the
Cattle knife for 81 cents is one of the
most liberal ever made.

Secretary Wilson of the department OF

but finally compromised on a crayon
portrait, which, with its frame, cost
$50.

Easter In Olden Time.

Easter was at one time celebrated by
feasts and games held in the churches.
These at first were dscorous and use
full in bringing the congregations to-

duties imposed upon them during Lent.
The custom was abandoned because of
the exnesses, which became a scandal
to the church.
