This coun- try seat Is now occupied and owned by Henry T. Tayloe, a nephew of Captain Tayloe, whosg son, H. A. Tayloe, is As sistant General Passenger Agent of the Southern Railway with headquarters in Atlanta, Ga. About three years Captain Tayloe remained on the Rapahannock River plantation.
 He had friend who had journeyed out to Alabama-"the new country"-and re- turning told him of the opportunities and possi ibilities presented here. There had been great sickness among his slaves and the harvest had not been good. So Captain Tayloe decided to epigrate to Alabama. About 1882 he located near the preseptocity oPf Faunsdale, seven miles from where he now lives. He was a wealthy young man and he acquired large tracts of land in Marengo County. His country home was at Walnut Grove, then Marengo, but now Hale County.
 Soon after locating in Alabama Captain Tayloe was selected as commander of the Canebrake Legion, a popular military company, which gave to him the title he has worn all of these years. He did not serve in the Confederate Army. being too zlA

During the Indian wars Captain Tayloe rendered the services of the Canebrake Legion to Governor Israel Pickens.
 You young men have enough to do at home; when l need you, I'll send for you'
 This is the message Captain Tayloe says he received from the gruff, but sturdy, old Governor of Alabama away back in the thirties.
 In 1898 Captain Tayloe married Miss | Narcissa Jemison, daughter of John Jemison, a planter who lived in Perry County, near the present city of Union- town. The Jemisons came from South Carolina and John Jemison was one of Nhe pioneers of Alabama. With tender affection and reverence for | the memory of the wife of his yOuths who | has preceded him across the Mystic Bor- | der twenty or more years, a smile that | is as exalted as d benediction comes into | the face of Captain Tayloe when he tells | one that his bride of sixty-four years ago was "a pretty woman; a very tal- | ented woman. sir"

AN EARL'S DAUGHTER.
Cut on without n Shilling by Her
Father She shows Her Self
Sustaining Ability.

The daughter of an English earl,
after a neglected childhood passed
among servants, was brought out in
society. She was shy and sensitive,
and took no interest in fashionable
life. Her conduct excited so much dis
pleasure that she became most unhap-
Ply and respondent. Neglected and
despised at home, she ran away to Lon
don, and refused to return to her ia
theirs house, relates Youths Com
panion.
As her father cut her off without a
shilling, she had to support herself,
and live on starvation wages. She
began with lace-making and sewing,
and had room in tenement house.
She was fearless rider, and at one
time made living by breaking unruly
horses in Scotland
friend, after selling some of the
daughters lace to the mother, con-
trived to secure the payment of a
small allowance from the father. With
this money she was able to perfect
her education in music, and to carry
off prizes at college on the CONT
nent.
About this time she was impressed
with stories which she heard of the
sufferings of native women in India
and the far east. She dropped her mu-
sic, and for six years devoted herself
to the study of medicine and surgery.
She won medical degree in England,
mastered the French language in or
der to obtain higher degree in Brus-
sells, took a hospital and nursing course
in London, and had special practice in
the slums Of Dublin.
Meanwhile she was receiving a pitt
tance from her father barely large
enough to enable her to keep soul and
body together. She was wholly es-
tranged from her family, who were
ashamed Of the poor relation
Finally she received the reward for
her many years of solitary study and
persistent effort. An appointment as
court physician in Corea was offered
to her, and she accepted it as an open
ing for what she considered her mis-
sion in the woodwork among native
women in the far east Her father
then agreed to give her thousand dol
lars year.
This is not the ordinary romance of
the peerage. 1t is true story, and
shows what woman of real grit can
do, when she has courage, patience and
a noble ambition. The shy girl with
a plain face has made her way in the
world, although she was failure in
the drawing-room as the earl's daugh-
ter.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

An expert view is that 60 cases of
smallpox in London can be traced to
one individual.
The big gray kangaroo of Australia
measures about seven feet from the
tip of its nose to the end of its tail. 1t

A writer in the Cologne Gazette de-
clares that servants in the United
States do only half as much work, de-
mand twice as much free time and four
times as much wages as servants in
Germany.
A traveller writes; "a lady to whom
/ was sitting next at dinner the other
day told me she had remedy for sea-
sickness. She had been very bad
sailor, and even now II she does not
practice her remedy she is sick; where
as when she does, she can negotiate
comfortably storm of four or five
hours on the high seas. 1t is simple
enough As the vessel dips she draws
in her breath; as it rises she expels
it. The remedy seems to me worth
knowing"
A cold-blooded scientist has just adj
ministered death blow to the tradi-
tional belief in "the blue Danube" He
watched the big river for whole year,

The wild duck, the hawk and the
sea gull, while in fight over long dis
tances, usually remain at an altitude
of from 600 to 1,40O feet. If they pass
below the level of the highest flying
kite of tandem line the fact is easily
discerned by allowing for perspective.
The kite measurements are relatively
accurate. because during the pro-
longed fight of thousands of wild
ducks the kite string can be hauled in
and paid out until the attitude of the
ducks is exactly measured by the alti-
tude of the kites.
