AGED AND HONORED LADY
PASSES AWAY.

After long, useful and beautiful
life, stretching well toward the
century mark, Mrs. MaryAnn Todd.
relict of the beloved VIM. NJ. Todd.
passed to her home beyond the
swelling flood, at the residence of
her daughter, Mrs. Martha II.
George, at Lees Summit, Mo-, on
Saturday morning.
Mrs. Todd was the daughter of
Mr.. Asa B. Farrar, of Jessamine
county Zone of the purest, noblest
and best men we ever knew. In
early life she was married to Mr..
VIM. M. Todd, and came to this
city to reside. For many long years
Mr.. Todd was engaged in business
at the stand now occupied by
| Messrs. r. X. Mcclure & Son. His
reputation for integrity, upright
ness and piety is too we'll known in
this community (where the per-
fume of his holy life still lingers).
His wife was helpmeet indeed
sharing his sorrows and disap-
pointments-his joys and his pros:
perity-with a single-hearted devc-
ton to him, his work and his Cod
Their married life was one beautiful
to behold. 1t was full of the love
of God and Misunderstanding
and resourceful.
Wearied with the confinement of
the storerooin, in 1857, Mr.. Todd
sold his business and purchased a
fine farm near Versailles, where he
resided with his family until his
death in the fall of 1866. His DESC
late widows devotion to his mem
DRY was splendid tribute to his
character as husband father and
Christian gentleman.
Gentle and retiring by nature,
she shrunk from rude contact with
the world, and went about the
work the Master had committed to
her hands so quietly and unosten-
tatiously that few knew the extent
OF that work.
Her two children, Mrs. Martha
T. George and Mrs. Mary Il. Be
harmon, having removed to Missouri
to live, Mrs. Todd, after a few
years, followed them and was living
with Mrs. George at the time of her
death.
Though she had been totally blind
for some three years, she bore her
Affections with Christian fortitude
sublime. Never doubling the love
of her Savior, she was content To
await His time to go hence to meet
her loved and lost on the other
shore. Quietly, calmly and peace
fully she went into the chill waters
with that JOY and peace promised
the faithful unto death. She leaves
two daughters, sixteen grandchil-
dren, some dozen or more great
grandchildren, and scores OF
nephews and nieces to reverence
her memory, and with the light oil
a sublime life TO lead them tt
higher and better things.
The remains were brought here
on Monday morning accompanied
by her daughter, Mrs. Martha r.
George, and grandson, Mr.. David
T. George, of Lees Summit, Mo.
Short funeral services were held al
the Cemetery Chapel, conducted
by Rev. j. McClusky Blayney. d.

Choice OF a House Cat.

A good cat-the kind you want to
have in the house, IL any-will have a
round, stubby pug nose, full, fat
cheeks and upper lips, and a well-de-
veloped bump on the top of the head,
between the ears, betokening good ma
ture. A sleepy cat that purrs a good
deal Is apt TO be playful and good
natured.
BY all means to be avoided is a cat
with thin sharp nose and twitching
ears. II must be remembered, also,
that good mouser Is not necessarily
gentle or desirable pet. Although
any good cat will catch mice II she IL
not overfed, quick, full, expressive
eyes generally betoken good mouser.
The greatest mistake-and prob
ably the most common one-in the
care OF domestic cats Is overlooking,
particularly too much meat. In wild
life the cat has exercise which en-
ables her to digest her food In the
lazy house life the same full feeding
leads to stomach troubles and to fitA

IN THE FAR NORTH.
OBSERVATION STATION FOR THE
POLAR REGIONS.
Scientists Expect Discoveries Of I'm
portance Through an investigation
Of the Bleak Lands Of the Arctic
Clrcle--Mlneral Wealth.

A station which Is to be maintained
at the service OF scientific observers
has been erected 100 miles north Of
the Arctic circle In Sweden. 1t is near
the track Of the Ofoten railroad. the
most northern railroad In the world,
which was opened just year ago be-
tween Lula, on the Gulf Of Bothnia,
and Victoria Haven, on the Atlantic.
The road is being operated the year
round for the transportation OF iron
ore to the Atlantic for shipment The
station may thus easily be reached at
any season of the year.
7 II has been erected at the little set
Element Of Massijaure. only a mile
and a half from the Norwegian boun-
dairy. Here scientific men will have
their first opportunity to investigate
polar phenomena under comfortable
conditions and at small expense.
In summer they will be engaged
chiefly with geological and biological
researches, while meteorological, mag
netic and other studies fitting the
times will occupy them In winter. The
experts In natural history who win
occupy the station next summer will
be the geologist Westergren, the en-
tomologist Haglund, the botanist Ro-
man and an expert In forestry
The money to build the station was
contributed by wealthy man Of
Stockholm, and funds for its mainte-
nance have been supplied by other pri-
vate subscriptions.
The station Is on the threshold OF
Lapland, which Is still almost I'M
known, because II has been so difficult
to reach II with supplies adequate for
long Journey. The railroad and sta
ton will facilitate the exploration Of
this region.
The study Of its geology promises
particularly rich results, for there Is
little doubt that the bleak surface Of
Lapland conceals large mineral wealth
This is the opinion OF all scientific
men who connect what is known Of
its geology with the great discoveries
of the richest of steel making ores
along the line Of the railroad.
The Arctic railroad is also to serve
another important purpose. Plans have
already been adapted for building a
sanitarium on the shores Of the beau
Is skirted by the railroad. II Is In
tended for consumptives and other
patients who may need such an oppor-
tunity to breathe the purest of Arctic
air
