adjoin the Potomac river on the west,
and although their altitude is consider

term is generally used. They are suf-
hciently elevated above the POtO-

The profit on Majors cement is as much as

MISFORTUNE CAME IN CLOUDS,
New Jersey Family Was Visited By
an Extraordinary Series Of
Mishaps.

Francis Fielder, who lives at Turkey,
. small village near New Brunswick,
n. j., is wondering why misfortune is
persistently pursuing him and his
family, says the New York World.
Recently his son Edward fell from q
icaffolding at Long Branch and was
80 badly hurt that for a long time
his life was despaired Of.
Then Mrs. Fielder slipped from the
stoop of her home, breaking her collar
bone and several ribs.
The next day Mr.. Fielder slipped on
some loose hay and fell out of the NOW.
de was shaken up SO badly that he had
to keep in his bed for several days.
Next favorite horse died of glanders
and all his live stock had 10 be quaran-
tined and the outbuildings disinftcted.
While this was being done message
was received from a son, at Asbury
Park, announcing that he had lost a
horse by theft.
The younger son, Garfield, was the
next victim of the family Nemesis.
He was riding his wheel to work when
ne ran into a chicken and was thrown
against a post, having a collar bone
broken and a shoulder dislocated.
Now that all the members of the
family and most of the live stock have
been victims of misfortunes in one way
or another, Mr.. Fielder hopes the fates
have been satisfied and that brighter
days are about to dawn.

From 2S to 35-the fifth seven-might

those years one learns to exercise the
faculties and perceptions that have
been developed in the previous groups.
Up to the age of AZ the lessons go on.
Character is being matured and fixed.
the definite trend of life established.
After that few changes are made in the
real person. Slight variations and mod.
itications of opinion there may be, but
nothing deep or vital is likely to trans
form the life.
The common phrases, "a confirmed
old bachelor" and "a confirmed old
maid" applied to unmarried men and
women over 10 are tacit admissions of
that fact, intimating that mental and
physical habits are so strongly rooted
that the adaptsbility of earlier years
has ceased to exist, and the person is
incapable of adjustment to a new en-.
vironment. The tale goes on. Fifty
six, sturdy middle life; SO, the en-.
