An IngeniouA Student.

There Is certain young JEFF stu
dent who will be in his second year
when the medical college opens this
month who is noted among his fellows
as mechanical genius as well as Il
hard student. He is not in aflluent
circumstances, and during the college
term he turns his ingenuity to good
account in paying for his tuition. Most
of his studying Is done in the early
morning, but he confesses that he is
naturally averse to early rising. In
common with the average run of NOR
tails. he likes his warm, cozy bed on
Il cold winter morning. Toward the
end of last term he put his wits to
work and evolved an appliance which
he will put into effect during the COM
ing term. From the ceiling Is sus-
pended claw-like thing that is gov
erned by an intricate piece of mechan-
ism which he closely guards. This Is
adjusted at night, before he goes TO
bed, and at certain hour in the
morning the machine goes off, Il
weight falls, and this lifts the bed
clothes up to the ceiling. Once the
coverings are in this position it Is
necessary to get up, and by that time
one is wide enough awake to resist the
temptation to readJust them. He
thinks of putting his invention on the
market.-phlladelph Record.

When the inside of vases difficult to
get at become coated with deposit
from flowers. it may be removed by
dipping piece of cane, beaten out
fiat, into pumice powder and rubbing
the interior of the vase hard with the
stick, afterward washing thoroughly.
HydroChloric acid in the proportion
of one part to eight parts of water
will remove any ordinary deposit. For
most kinds of breakages the services
of an expert will be required But
small repairs. as of china. which has
not been in use, may be done at home.
The article to be glued must be per.
fectly clean, ana only n small amount
of cement should be used 4 good
deal of firm pressure is required to
keep the parts In place. This may be
effected by tying tape around the ar,

wooden wedges where special press.

case of Etruscan ware, after the pieces
are glued the deficiencies may be filled

rho Woman OF Most Living De,cen,

The Woman of Most Living Descendants
Mrs. Catherine Gilbert of Horse Val.
ley, can boast of having the largest
number of living descendants of any
woman in the community. The total
number is nearly 200, six of whom are
her children, seventy-six grandchll-
dren and yer n hundred great-grand-
children. Mrs. Gilbert is ninety years
old, and enjoys good health. She was
born in Horse Valley and lived her
whole lifetime there only being out of
the valley few times.
Mrs. Gilbert was married quite
young, scarcely seventeen years old,
and moved in Il house in the upper
end of Horse Valley, known since as
the old Gilbert place, and belonging to
n grandson of hers, where she raised
all her children and lived sixty-five
years in succession. Mrs. Gilbert has
not been out of the valley at all for
thirty-three years. She never saw Il
train or railroad, yet she Is well CON
tented, and would not live In any other
place.
Mrs. Gilbert likes to talk about old
times, and she makes n pleasant and
interesting companion, as she can tell
many little stories of the time when
she was girl. She says the girls
nowadays don't know anything about
work. When she was young girls
worked out in the field with the men,
and even made shingles, split rails,
hewed logs and cut weeds. In all
these Mrs. Gilbert participated and
many other kinds, except moving,
which she could never learn. When
asked about this summers heat, she
said: Perhaps | cannot stand as much
heat as | used to. but | actually be-
lleve this summer to be the hottest in
the last fifty years. Mrs. Gilbert
uses no glasses, and she does consider
able sewing, and requires no cane to
support her when walking. - Cham
