Concerning Centenarlans.

OF the fourteen reputed centenarians
who died during the past year, no few
er than eleven were women, accord
ing to the illustrated London News.
Out of the 1873 persons who were de-
clared as over 80 years of age, 1OS
were women. The superior longevity OF
the female sex is a well-established
fact. To some extent it de-
ponds, of course, on their more
sheltered method of living, but
by no means exclusively, as
the women of the laboring classes
show great vital tenacity as wAl as
those who have an easy time of it in
the world. The vital power of girls
is displayed in babyhcod, for though
about 104 boys are born tc, every 100
girls, the females have more~than
overtaken the deficiency before the
end of the first year. In other words,
the belief Of old nurses that "boys
are harder to rear than girls is a
true one. :.

Tho Seasons ColOrs.

National blue, a new color this sea-
son, is clear, lively tone of deep blue.
and bids fair to rival naval blue in
popular favor. Emerald green is re-
vived this season, and shade of sea
green comes to us from Paris, under
the name of Neptune. The reds in the
importations are coquelicot, cerise and
geranium in the more vivid tones OF
the color, with trenching Of crimson,
fuchsia and petunia, and a revival
of pale purplish hue somewhat re-
sembling the magenta of long ago.
The grays are graduated in tone and
known as plantine, aluminium, nickel
and silver, the paler shades being
more popular.

WHEN THE eLGLEsx;Aaa..
Soldiers Who Fight Against Attacks 81
-... .'s N. COWordfce.

After reading of the brilliant OK
ploits of our gallant troops at Omdur-
man, one may be pardoned for doubt
Ing the existence of towards in the
British army, says the London Mail.
Unfortunately, however, every now and
then amid the din and crash of battle
a recruit Is seized with a fit of coward
Ice, which he boldly fights against.
The attack is .oftentimes quite mex
pllcable, and nearly always momen-
tary. The majority of men are brave
by instinct, especially when in the
thick of a fight. There are, of course,
exceptions to the rule, but generally
separate unit, but a cog in a vast fight
Ing machine, tends to make even the
most timorous stand shoN;der to
shoulder with his comraG,s. Then
the fear of being thought af.aM steels
the nerves of many a failing soldier,
and there is no doubt that the dread
of the contempt and indignation Of
his fellows is most powerful stimu-
liant. Very rarely, indeed, does a
British soldier allow fear to overcome
his sense of duty; but some old vet
eran will occasionally admit that he
has known perhaps one such instance,
and in reply to the question, "How
will answer: Zone dead man is a small
loss to regiment. Besides, one man
running off may cause another to fol-
low, and a panic may thus set in. Be-
fore any one has time TO think about it.,
or issue an order, depend upon it, one
Of his comrades, for the honor of the
regiment, puts bullet through him."
Sir Charles Napier had an effective
method of dealing with towards. On
one occasion a. flying soldier was stop
ped by his fellows, who were about to
shoot him, when the general inter-
vened. "Give the man another
chance" he ordered. place him In
the front rank, and if he turns again,
let him be shot," The man eagerly
embraced this chance for his life, ov-
ercame his fears and fought bravely
for the rest Of the day. Bravery is
sometimes largely due to mere lack
OF sensibility. There goes the brav-
est man in the army" said the old
Kaiser Wilhelm on the battlefield of
Sadowa, as pale young officer cheer
ed his men on to the charge. HE is
terribly afraid of being shot, and he
knows it, but he loves his duty and
country more than his personal safe

The newest piece of jewelry is called
memory ring" It is designed to be
worn by those forgetful people whose
memories need constant jogging. It is
of gold or silver and has tiny rings to
which pendants may be attached like
charms or bangles. These trifes are
in the form of small rabbits, frogs,
turtles, cats and a variety of other con-
ce1ts, all to stand, or hang, for the ar
sicle to be remembered. Jeweled but
terflies, butterfly wings of spangled
gauze and half wreaths of flowers with
a rose and bud arranged in aigrette
form are the chic hair ornaments for
evening, provided that the jeweled
tiara is not forthcoming. Spreading
tllle or lace bows in fan shape are
considered good style. The clinging
effect so much desired in skirts is aug
mented by lining them with silk warp
cashmere instead of taffeta, as the rus.
tie is no longer desirable. Panne vel.

The Remarkable Incidents In Clergy
mans Life.


Rev. B. F. Chapman of Andover.
Conn.,. has lived to be 88 years old
without feeling the effects of any evil
number, yet he was born on the thir-
teenth day of the month. He was 10
years old when his family made an
important move of his boyhood, and
thirteen years after that he was mar
ried. He is member of family of
thirteen, and his wife was also so sit
uated. She was born on the thirteenth
day of the month, and had thirteen
letters in her name. Three of their
five children saw the light Of day on
the same day of the month, and Mr..
Chapman says in conclusion that he
was born and will probably die in one
of the thirteen original states and in
a county having thirteen towns. When
he came to Andover the usher at the
church showed him into pew 49,, and
he has sat there for four years. When
he came to Andover the postmaster Of
fered him No. 10 letter box, saying
that no one else would have it.

looks very sober now, rather meditative

the elevator will stick again or is think

| subject of thought.
Few people seeing the dial of the clock
from the street realize what big affair
it is. The dial is about seven feet in
diameter and the minute hand is about
three and half feet long, while the
| hour hand is about two and half feet
in length. The power for running the
clock is furnished by a four-hundred-
pound weight, which is wound up once
week. The dial is forty feet above
the clockwork and the power is trans

are geared by a pinion four smaller
shafts, one for each dial of the clock.
The pendulum hangs down into the
room of the harbor commissioner and
the pendulum weight is ballasted with
mercury. The arc described is about
| two feet.
The bell deck is between the dial and
the clockworlS. The clock is regulated
from a ticker connected by wire with
the Yale observatory, and the ticker
gives the correct time to the thou
sandth part of a second. The clock Is
said to be one of the best in the world
and it rarely is a second off the correct
time, except for some antic of the hands
on the dial like that during the past few
| days. Sometimes in the winter the
| hands become frozen fast and three
years ago last winter the clock was
stopped for about three weeks thereby.
There is no glass over the hands, and
at that time about six inches of ice
was frozen over the dial.
The large fire alarm bell is distinct
from the clock. This alarm is rung by
large 2,7O0-pound weight enclosed in
a sixty-foot boxed shaft and hung by a
heavy chain something like a bicycle
chain. The weight is wound up by
means of a large crank about three feet
long and the winding is a good half
days work for two men. The fire.
quency of winding depends on the num-
Der of fire alarms sent in and also upon
whether or not the alarms are from fire
boxes of large or small numbers. For
instance, the weight does not drop so
much for ringing the smallest number,
u, as for the numbers $40, S25 and other
large numbers. Usually, however, the
weight requires winding only once a
week

THE CLEANSING OF JERUSALEM.

The tourist n Jerusalem had one
reason to be grateful for Emperor
williams visit. 1t was preceded by
the cleansing of the streets. 1t now
seems that it is to be followed by equal
desirable action. "A special committee
has been formed in Jerusalem in order
to provide for the cleansing OF the
Jewish quarter, not only inside, put
outside of the city. The European
authorities of Judaism are applaudlng
the movement. and the Alliance Israel
lite of Paris has offered to contribute
a considerable sum toward defraylng
the expense.-London Chronicle

CITY HALL CLOCK A JOKER.
Mad Fun With the Car Starter at the
Green

HAD Fun With the Car Starter at the
Green.
The big city hall clock has been cut
fling some queer antics lately, and its
reculiar action was first noticed by the
car starter at the corner OF the green.
HE is accustomed to starting Wood
mont and West Haven cars by the Dig
clock and a few days ago noticed that
