Mrs. John ID. Rockefeller. Sr.. is
known to be near. 1t is reported that
she spends great deal of her time
in the kitchen and weighs every arti-
Gle that comes into the house. This
may or may not be so. but the follow
ing story is true:
Mrs. Rockefeller purchased an ordi-
nary wooden chopping bowl which cost
So cents. One day while she was us
ing it it slipped from her hands and
fell to the floor and broke. 1t had
been made in two halves. One re

drove to the village she went to the
hardware store where she bought il

half to match the bowl. He said he
would try. The proprietor sent tc
New York, and after shopping around
found it impossible to get another half

AN oLo.TiME GREAT LADY.
Some Anecdotes of the First Duchess
of MARLBOROUGH.

Sarah. wife the first duke of Marl-
borough, was as strong a character as
the great soldier. her husband. She
was given to using strong language
when annoyed. She once paid an even
ing visit to a friend. who happened
to be out. On the friends return the
servant said of the visitor that he
could not make out who she was. for
she would not tell her name: but she
swore so dreadfully that he was sure
she must be a lady of quality"
Duchess Sarah's blunt downright
ness is brought out in a recent biogra-
ply of ner in the following passage:
Lady Marsham had Jacobian ten
denotes. and the duchess fears were
justified that events were tending to
bring in the prince of Wales Sarah

Every housekeeper should know
that If they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time. because it
never sticks to the iron. but because
each package contains 16 oz.-one full

Starches are put up in q pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. II your grocer tries to sell you a

Worlds Largest Tortoise.

The Geological gardens in London
nave lately become the home of tor
toise imported from the Island of Maui
ritius which weighs 500 pounds and
mes sures four feet seven inches from
head to tail. 1t was purchased from a
family in Mauritius who vouched for
having it in their possession for $50
years. Experts who have examined it
think its age nearer 800 than 200 years,
and it seems to be not more than in its
prime.
