On Keeping Young.

Someone once asked d woma N.
how it was she kept her youth
so wonderfully. Her hair was
snowy white, she was so years
old and her energy was waning;
but she never imp essed one
with the idea of age, for her
heart was still young in sym "a
thy and interest. And this was
her answer: Il know how to
forget disagreeable things. L
tried to master the art of saw
ing pleasant things. ] did not
expect too much of my friends.
l kept my nerves well in hand,
and did not allow them to bore
other people. 1 tried to find
any work that came to my hand
congenial. retained the lillu-
sions OF my youth, and did not
believe every man a liar and
every woman spiteful.
Il did my best TO relieve the
misery l came in contact with
and sympathized with the suf-
lug. In fact, tried TO do to
others as would be done by,
and you See me in consequence
reaping the fruits of happiness,
and peaceful old age"

ing from the chimney she always shut
her windows.
DR.. Jos. H. King, a physician of thirty
years standing, told the coroner that he
had been informed by Mrs. Ashmead that
she was in the malpractice business and
that it Melted her from $500 to 5000 week
ly. She wanted him to go into it.
This same physician swore that he asked
the woman what she did with the bodies
of the infants thus brought into the world,
and was told that she allowed them to
starve to death and burned them in her
furnace.
E. NJ. Skinner related the fate of pretty
Mary B. Sloan, who he said was in delicate
health when she went to Mrs. Ashmead' s
place and paid the woman $50 for an opera
ton. Three days after the operation the
girl was ordered from the house and died
from the effects of exposure, he claimed.
Coroner Dugan estimates that from $500
to 5000 unregistered births occur yearly
in Philadelphia, and says that from the
statements at his disposal fully 800 or
900 occur at the place conducted by Mrs.
Ashmead.

Girls and women whose love had led
them too far along the path from which
there is no return, sought these so-called

financial arrangement was satisfactory

often they resulted fatally.
Under such circumstances the remains
of the girl were turned over to an under
taker for burial, burial certificates being
secured by forging the name of well-known
physicians, giving some natural cause of
death.
Very often, it is said, when this was
impossible, the bodies were dissected, the
various parts packed in small boxes and
shipped to destinations where confederates
disposed of them in various ways.
The bodies of the infants brought into
the world in these sore-spots on civilized
globe, were often burned in the furnace
Of the house, so two witnesses testified
One man said he had seen Mrs. Ashmead
throw crying infants into a red-hot furnace,
and had also seen her dispose of dead
