Rachel Ann Til, aged so years. died
near Dover. on Thursday, of last week.
Her death was due to disease known
To the medical profession as "EIcphan-
tinSis.' Her weight was 100 pounds.
and it required Il special coffin to be built
for her remains. The disease was a very
rare one for that section of the country.
as it is more common in intertropical
countries, such as the Barbados. Ccy-
lon, India, etc. The woman was also
affected with heart trouble, which was
the immediate cause of her death.
Auntie Till, as she was known in Dover,
came there about three months ago, to
have her pension papers approved before
Il justice of the peace. She was always
brought to Dover in an OK cart, and
when she arrived ut the office of the jus
tice of the peace, she would simply lie
down in the bottom of the cart and it
would be tilted so rs 10 land her on her
feet in Il standing position so she could
sign the papers. She was reloaded in a
similar manner After she died her skin
became tough and hard like that of an
elephants hide. 1t took one gallon of
embalming fluid to cmbnlm her.

Crows a. Enemies OF; Terrapins.

From the Baltimore Sun. -
The crow Is the evil genius of the turtle
just as Of the diamond back and other ter
rapins. When the warm days Of spring
come and the female terrapins and turtles
leave their beds in the;marsh the crow goes
on guard, knowing that season Of feast
ing is at hand. Both terrapins and turtles
seek the warm, sandy uplands near the
shore to deposit their eggs. A hole is dug
several inches deep and from twenty-lo
thirty inches oblong, white eggs are de-
posted and then the nest Is filled or COW
cred with sand. Having neatly piled lie
sand over the eggs, the turtle raises herself
just as high as is possible, then comes
down with a heavy thnd on the sand. This
Is continued until the sand is quite hard,
when the eggs are lett for the sun to hatch
In the meantime the crow has been on
guard, and by means of his sharp bill and
strong claws the work of breaking into the
treasure house of the unsuspecting turtle Is
quickly accomplished and the feast is soon
over. The crow is considered by many to
be the greatest enemy the diamond back
has. 1t Is an easily established fact that
the crow destroys thousands of the eggs of
all kinds of terrapins. not making an ex-
ception Of the dianond-backs.

OUR IGNORANCE OF FRENCH
HOW LITTLE WE UNDERSTAND OF
PLAYS IN THAT TONGUE.
Beauties of the Language 1t fs
Spoken on the Stage by
Sarah Bernbardt.
From the Literary Digest.

From the Literary Digest.
Nine. Sarah Bernhard is now upon the
Pacific coast, enchanting the lovers OF
drama ard French by her brilliant inter-
pretatiOns of ROstand and Shakespeare.
Her presence there forms the occasion for
some pensive reflections on foreign Ian
guageS by Mr. Jerome \. Hart, San Fran
ciscan. who in his youth learned French,
but who in his later years learned that he
had not learned French" He then went to
work to learn some French. But, he says,
If It be difficult to learn to speak French
without an accent it is not easy to under
stand it without break. / have for years
had a good reading knowledge of French.
l have read many of the standard novelists,
like Balzac. Hugo, Dumas the father and
Dumas the son. | have read scores of
dramas by such playwrights as Sardou,
Scribe, Labiche and Angler. l have read
numbers of opera librettos by Halevy and
Meilhac And yet, says Mr.. Hart, ito
my shame be it spoken, | can go to the
French play and yet fail to understand it.
Indeed, he has often wondered whether
the average individual is in the habit of
telling the truth about his knowledge of
French. Says Mr.. Hart twho is editor Of
the San Francisco Argonaut and writes in
that paper:
This has been borne in upon me all the
more strongly since the Bernhard engage
most astounding legends concerning their
knowledge of French. Gray-haired mothers
and fathers, who dawdled over Ollendorf
half a century ago, proudly assert that
their French is little rusty. but
Their grown-up daughters, who pored over
Fasquelle twenty years ago, serenely say,
Yes, | am not well up in French as
used to be, but The youngest genera

poraneous French grammar, whatever 1t
may be. says, blithely, Yes we finished our

WHY PAIN IS FELT
Where the Foot Of an Amputated Leg,
Ought to BE.

1T is a matter of common knowledge
that person who has had a leg or an arm
amputated will afterward complain of
feeling pains or aches In the toes or the
fingers Of the amputated member. as they
put 1t. or. more properly, in the extremity of
what would have been the limb had 1t not
been amputated,' said a Washington physi-
clan this morning.
Some people are inclined to doubt that
these sensations exist in the minds of the
patient, while others who are willing to &C.
cept 1t are at loss to understand the cause
OF the complaint. The reason is compara-
lively simple, though it is not generally
understood.
III a mans leg be fractured and crushed
from the knee down, for instance, he will
complain. before amputation, and often af-
terward, of pain in his foot and toes. He
does not feel the sensation Of pain In the
crushed parts. This is because the pain is
felt at the termination of the nerves Of SEN
sation In the foot of the injured limb. and
not along their course.
ut Is upon this principle that man com.
plains of a pain in his foot when the foot
is cut off. The pain is really in the stump
Of the limb. but the sensatory nerves refer
1t to the former termination of the nerves
This reference acts upon the brain to the
extent of causing the patient to seem to
feel the ache in the place where the foot
formerly was"
