A MARVELLOUS OLD WOMAN.

An automobile ride on her one
hundred and eighth birthday was the
remarkable experience of Mrs. Sarah
Terry, of No. 545 North Sixteenth
street, Philadelphia, last week. Mrs.
Terry had been anticipating this event
for the past year, and her delight in
whirling around Philadelphia in a
hafseiess carriage was unbounded.
She had ridden in one of the first
steam trains in the country, and her
experience in an automobile was re-
markable to one who had seen the
gradual development of steam and
electricity during her long life.
Mrs. Terry was born in Pemberton,
N. j., in 1871, her father being Sta
cy Doron, soldier in the Revolt
tionary War, who died from the ef-
fects of his campaings. She was adop-
ted by a Quaker family named Cam
pion, who carefully educated her,
and, as she has spent mauy years re-
siding abroad, she is an interesting
talker, especially on events which
happened years ago. To a casual
observer Mrs. Terry appears at least
thirty years younger than she really
is. She is remarkably we'll preserv-
ed, and her carriage, which has al
ways been distinguishing character
istic, remains as dignifed and impos-
ing as ever. She rises at 7 o'clock
every morning, and goes unassisted
down one flight of stairs to the break
fast table. She spends the day in
chatting with visitors, of whom she
has many, and in short maps in an
easy chair. Occasionally she is taken
out for a carriage ride by some men,
Der of the Revolutionary Society. At
night, precisely at seven O'Clock,
Mrs. Terry is assisted to her room.
She sleeps but little at night. Her
appetite is good. Physicians say that
this marvellous little woman may re-
tain life for more than one year to
come, for her physical condition is ex-
cellent.

DON'T TELL YOUR TROUBLES.

eff" said man of mature years,
"I was going to give word of ad-
vice to a young man, one of the
things that I should say to him would
be this: Don't be sick. That is,
don't be an ailing man, not feeling
we'll, and all that sort of thing. Keep
your little ills to yourself. To tell
how bad we feel does not, as rule,
awaken sympathy. AS matter of
fact-and it's all right so, too-we
dom Gotten much to man that wants
or expects to be coddled all the time
we like better the chap made of stern
er stuff, who doesn't worry himself
over his little lis, nor worry other
people about them.
"This does not mean that a man
wants to say he's we'll, when really
he is sick. That would be foolish, as
it would be for man to work in such
condition. But nobody likes to see
man going around with woe-begone
expression on his countenance, and
the words Pm way off today on
his lips, and if this is his habit when
ever he ISM feeling just right, why,
he thereby just counts himself out
of it.
"There's large stock ofsympathy
on hand in the world, and it's always
plentifully offered where it is really
needed, but there's mighty little of it
expended on people suffering from
snifles. The fact is the world isn't
drawn much toward men that are al
ways ai1ing; but it just hollers for
ioy over men who are fit and able.
"Moral: Don't make it point to
tell people how miserable you're feel
ing today"

THE AFTERNOON rIDYING UP.

When a woman lives in city or
large town she generally tries to
change her dress or tidy up some in
the afternoon. For if she has no
help she wants to be fit to answer the
door, and anyway she might have
caIIS. In tile country, II Wol1
lives little back on farm, parti&&n
larly if she does her own work or has
children, it is nothing unusual to drop
in Unexpectedly in the evening and
find her dressed in the same homely,
dark calico wrapper she has worn all
day. Then she feels lite ashamed
of her attire and begins to murmur
excuses, "a hard days work, been
too busy" 'thave so much to do af-
ter supper" etc., etc.
In the first place I believe decided
ly in dressing according to ones
work. When woman is doing her
own housework dress that will not
show soil readily, that can be easily
Numbered and of an easy fit is inn
perative. But in very few cases is it
necessary. to keep on the same attire
till bedtime. Many say, II have so
much to do after tea, I can't be dress
ed up" and "there is only husband -
or husband and the children" Dear
wives and mothers, it is just for these
home ones, the husband and children,
that l would have you dress. De-
pend upon it, the children will enjoy
seeing mother look presentable when
they come into the house in the even
ing, and am sure you will see diff
ference in the manner in which your
husband treats you, though 1t will
probably be unconscious on his part
and if you are wise woman you will
appear to notice it. Many will proba-
bly, say in spite of the above, "It is
all very we'll to read it in the paper,
but I cannot afford to dress up, or
soil my good dresses"
But you can afford it if you'll Il try
this plan if you are in the habit of
wearing calico all winter, while about
the house, as so many do, you will

you try this plan, you will be surpris-

IF WE KNEW.

Could we but draw the curtains
That surround each others lives,
See the naked heart and spirit,
Know what spur the action gives,
Often we should find it better,
Purer than we judge we should;
We should love each other better
If we only understood.
Could we Judge all deeds by motives.
See the good and bad within,
Often we should love the sinner,
All the while we loathe the sin;
Could we know the powers working
To o'erthrow integrity;
We should judge each others errors
With more patient charity.
II we knew the cares and trials,
Knew the efforts all in vain,
And the bitter disappointment
Understood the loss and gain
Would the grim, eternal roughness
Seem, / wonder, just the same?
Should we help, where now we hinderr
Should we pity where we blame9
Ahl we Judge each other harshly,
Knowing not life's hidden force;
Knowing not the tount of action
Is less turbid at its source.
Seeing not amid the evil
All the golden grains of good
Oh we'd love each other better
--Bessie W. Smith.

HIS PRIVATE LETTERS.

Habits of thrift are generally COM
mendable, but sometimes they give
cause for amusement without the per-
sou practicing them being aware oft.
This is the case with well-knoWn
clergyman, whose church is one Oh
the most fourishing of its denomina
ton in the city, and Of whom the
Mew York Herald tells.
This clergyman receives salary of
Sc, 900 a year, and has in addition
comfortable income of his own. Hd
is a liberal giver to many charities,
lives in handsome brown stone
house and apparently has less reason
for economy than the average citizen,
yet he has one habit-perhaps, bet
ter, one idiosyncracy-that might
we'll be taken as an indication Of pow
erty by those who did not know the
clergyman. With inborn Scotch
thrift the minister makes use of the
blank side of the letters he receives

He was asked recently to prepare
an article for a magazine. In due
time the manuscript reached the edi-
tor, each page of it written G.. the
back Of an old letter, aud il was 0-..y ,
too evident that he had paid no at
tention to whether or not the letters
were of a personal character. The
letters furnished a rather curious COM
mentary on the sort of letters
metropolitan clergyman receives.
Among them were:
A notice from the general passenger
agent of a railway refusing his re-
quest that pass from New York to
Chicago be given to poor brother in
the ministry.
A notice from an insurance COM
pany that his policy had lapsed ow-
ing to the non-payment of SI56 pre-
MUM.
An appeal from a poor widow for
money to pay her rent and keep her
from being dispossessed.
A letter from a broker, who was
one of his congregation, advising him
to invest in certain stock, as it was
certain to be "a good thing"
A criticism of one of his sermons
from one of the pillars of the church.
A receipt showing that he hadpaid

WHEN MINISTER COMES TO TEA.

Oh! the tables fixed up gaudy with the gilt
And we'll use the silver teapot and the comp'ny
spoons, you bet;
some t6imbleberry jam,
And ''riz biscuits'' and some doughnuts, and
some chicken and some ham.
Ma, she'll 'polergize like fury and say everything
is bad,
And ''sich awful luck with cookin'." she is sure
she never had;
But, er course, she's only bluffin'. for it's as
prime as 1t can be,
And she's only taIkin' that way cause the min
