or her life Our purpose in doing
this is explained by the following
excerpt from the Chattanooga
Times, speaking of the same plan
which the Clifton Mirror origina,
ted;
81 note with pleasure that the Clifton
Mirror has introduced and is carrying
along regularly, feature which is
rather novel for a country paper, if not
unique, and one that it would be an
excellent thing for every weekly paper
in the state to adopt 1t is called the
Old Folks Series, and consists of short
biographies or autobiographies of the
oldest inhabitants of Wayne and two
or three adjoining counties. The
Mirror offers the inducement, l believe
of life subscription to each person
above stated age who furnishes one of
these sketches. Many of them are
decidedly interesting, even to persons
who never heard of the writer's or the
subjects before"
ono person has lived to be fifty, or
sixty, especially seventy or eighty
years of age who cannot tell something
worth publishing and well worth read
ing.
"This Mirror plan is an excellent
one for preserving the real history of
communities, and if these sketches
could be preserved and compiled they
would constitute valuable additions to
the history of the state.
81 wish every paper in Tennessee
would emulate the good example of the
Clifton Mirror"
The Mirror adds;
"We would ourselves like to see other
papers pursue this plan. By it much
valuable data may be gathered concern
ing the early settlement of the country,
and the habits, customs, ambitions and
IDEAS of that period. We have no
patent on this particular plan, and if
our exchanges will adopt it they will
speedily discover that it will be one of
the most valuable and interesting
features of their paper"
The Clifton Mirror is the best
country paper that comes to our
exchange table, and we are glad to
adopt this excellent feature, giving
it the credit for having originated
the Old Folks Series, OF course
this plan will cost us something,
but The Democrat started out the
present year with the determine
ton to put every cent of the
years profits into improving the
paper. 1t rests with our patrons
as to how good a paper the Demo-
crat will be, at the end of the
year. We believe that we cannot
spend our money to any better
advantage than by this plan Of
collecting thehistory and traditions
Of Lawrence and her people. May
we not hope for ready response
to our offer r. emember any man or
woman over Seventy years old will
be given a subscription for life to
this paper, if they will send US a
sketch of their life for publication,

INSPECTION OF DISTILLERIES.
Prof Wiley's Six Weeks Tour in
Scotland and Ireland

Prof Harvey W. Wiley. chief of the bu-
reau of chemistry in the United States Ag-
ricultural Department. returned yesterday
to London after a six weeks tour of the
distileries of Scotland and Ireland. He has
been making an inspection of these distil-
leries by order of the Agricultural Depart
ment.
Prof Wiley said last evening that he had
been given every facility both by the Brit
ish government and the dstillers to secure
the desired information. He said that he
found the conditions of manufacture ex-
cellent. and by far the greatest part of the
whistles exported to America of splendid
quality. At the same time, while there Is
thorough government control over whis-
blending of any ingredients is permitted in
whistles intended for export.
The American laws prohibit the importa-
ton of foodstuffs the sale of which Is not
permitted in the home country, but whis-
kieS entering the United States, continued
Prof. Wiley, are submitted only to the
alcoholic test. which does not exclude cheap
authorizations. What quantity of impure
whisky is shipped to America annually
Prof Wiley was unable to ascertain.
He said, however: Our greatest evil Is
not imported WHISTLES, but those manu-
featured and mixed in the United States
which only the enactment of a thorough
interstate commerce law can remedy
Prof. Wiley will proceed to the continent
to inspect the wineries of Germany and
France He will be a passenger on the
steamer Campania. which sails for the
United States September 8.

FAMOUS FASTERS.
Feats Of People Who Have Gone With
out Food for Months.

r TONI
How long is it possible for man to main
tain life without food of any description,
liquid or solid? At the moment of writing
a Vienna champion faster is trying the eX-
pertinent for three weeks; but this period
falls far short of existing records that
the feat scarcely reaches the dignity of
fast At the Aquarium two hunger ar
lists" Sgnor Succi and NJ Alexandra JAG
quez some years ago tied for premier hon
ors in England by abstaining from food for
forty-two days; and in the eighties man
named Merlatti maintained health and spir-
its for fifty days on a Spartan diet limited
to sips of water.
But even such featS these mere
pauses between meals compared with some
Of the fasts of past generations, if we are
to believe contemporary records Thus we
learn that young French girl. Christina
Michelot. after an attack of fever was ut
terly unable to swallow any form of food.
and from November. 1751, to July, 1I55,
swallowed nothing at all more sustaining
than water. Remarkable to say after
nearly four years of this starvation diet
she gradually recovered her health and
lived long in the land. For a year and
three-quarters it is said a Rosshire woman
named Katherine Mcleod actually lived
without partakng of any form of susie
nance. Once during this period attempt
but the woman narrowly escaped suffoca-
tion and the attempt had to be abandoned.
A Harrowgate girl OF twelve. one Ann
Walsh, lived for eighteen months on daily
glass of wine and water-a dietary on which
she somehow managed to preserve health
and good looks: Monica Mutcheteria, a
Swabian spent whole year without swal-
lowing either food drink, and for three
years she never slept; while DIR. william. an
eighteenth century physician. had among
his patients a monomaniac who for sixty
one days refused to touch food of any ue-
scription. About the same time, too, we
are informed that French peasant boy OF
Chateauroux was never known to partake
of food during twelve months, and yet was
able to do a good days work on his fathers
farm.
DR.. Plot. in his Natural History of Stat
fordshire" tells a remarkable story OF a
woman, one Mary Waughton of Wigginton.
who appears to have reduced the problem
OF living to its lowest material limits. Thus,
says her historian, "she does not eat in
day a piece above the size Of half a crown
in bread and butter; or If meat, not above
the quantity Of a pigeons egg at most"
while her only beverage was spoonful of
milk and water daily. And yet although
this was Mary's modest fare year after
year she is described as "a maiden Of fresh
complexion and healthy enough" Another
