Longest Beard I'm 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. 1t
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 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.

the slightest doubt, judging from
the impressions l gathered, that the
children in the neighborhood regarded
me as something particularly marvel

ever fine and grand his cooked hat and

l could not have been more than 6
years Of age when found myself stand
ing on the outskirts OF a crowd OF peo
pie gathered together in a street near
that in which l lived. How I came
there l do not know; but there was
a spectator Of the scene. 1t was a yio-
lent crowd, and loud and angry words
were being used. The people were
gathered about an open street door,
and from what could understand with
my childish mind, family were being
turned out OF their house in conse-
quence OF owing some money which
they were unable to pay. Their furni-
ture had been seized and sold, and
they were being bundled into the
streets. The sympathies OF the crowd
were with them, as is invariably the
case on such occasions, crowds being
always composed of poor people; and
oaths and threats were flung at the
man to whom the money was owing.

claim. / heard his name. 1t was

The entertainment at the church was
attended by 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 GOODNESS of Hon. Charles Jetton
prevented stampede. In command
ing tone, he admonished everybody to
keep their seats, as there was abso-
lutely no danger; then, grabbing his
good wife by the arm, he said: Come
on, May, and let's get out of here, or
we'll get killed in a minute. Murray

WOMEN OUTLIvE MEN.
Prof Buchner Finds Many More re-
male Centennrians Than Males.

II il TRANCE, but true, that the most
delicate child often outlives his strong
er brother or sister. Many instances
are on record of the survival or those
who seemed destined TO die early. IL Is
said of Voltaire, who lived to be eighty
four years old, that he was so delicate
at birth he could not be baptized Tor
several months. Sir Isaac Newton. the
doctors said, would not live week,
but he celebrated his eighty-fifth birth
day. FrOntenelic lived to be lOO, al
though he was so frail ut birth that
the priest had TO go to his home to bap-
tie him.
Even more interesting than this Is
the statement by Prof. Buchner that IL
is POSSIBLE for a woman to preserve her
youthful beauty even to her old age, or.
in some instances, to regain it. The
Marouise of Mirabeau died at eighty
six with all the marks or youth III her
face. Margaret Verdun, at siXty-hye,
smoothed out the wrinkles, her hair
grew again and her third set or 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 women live longer than men. A
French woman, Marie Prioux, who
died in 1898, was said to be 1873 years
old. Statistics Of the various coun-
tries on this point are remarkable. In
Germany only Alb Of 1000 males reach
the age Of fifty-five, while more than
500 of 1000 females reach that age. In
the United States there are 1883 fe-
male to 1898 male centenarians. In
France, Of ten centenarians, seven
were women and only three men. In
the rest Of Europe, Of twenty seven
centenarians, sixteen were women.
The oldest person now living Is held
to be Annie Armstrong, who is III
years old, and lives in a little town in
County Clare, Ireland.

He died when I was years of age.
On dark night, during a sudden and
raging storm, while helping to reef the
maintopgallant sail, he lost his hold,

child In their little cottage at Brixton.

love; and perhaps, in the midst of his
brief agony, it brought spark of COM
fort to him.
I was a sailor before my fathers
death, and the manner Of his death did
not brighten me. 1t was a proper
sailors death, thought in my childish
way. and I was proud of my father for
dying it, and proud of myself for being
such sailors son. Sometimes Of
night, when l was abed, l would put

closed, l would see my father floating
down to the bottom of the sea, where
he would lie with CHEEKY and smiling

ing.

both the corn and cotton crops are very

no damage and there have been general
rains for the last ten days. The only

The row that ended in Tosher's appre-

and West Broad streets. 1t appears that
there had been a battle royal for some
time between Haugicos and a crowd of
negroes, twenty or more in number. The
Greek had been cursing and berating them
and they had retaliated with rocks. stones
and profanity. A mob of some hundred
persons had gathered to witness the fun
and a call was sent TO the barracks to end
what it was at one time feared would be
a riot.
Sergt Killouhry sent Patrolmen Collins
and Davis, in the wagon TO the scene of
the trouble. When the policemen APP
