MIDDLE AGED FOLKS.
The Change Which Has Come Owe
 the Spirit of the Times.

The Change Which Has Come over the Spirit of the Times.
 In the middle of the nineteenth cen
 tury a man of forty-flve was regarded almost elderly, and a woman of the same age was expected to have long since cut herself adrift from all ties binding her to her youth and to assume
 the appearance and department of a Btaid, exemplary matrOn. All this has changed in a particularly interesting way, of which the prominent feature is a seeming contradiction. If the three year-old child of today is as knowing as was the six-year-old of half cen tury ago, and the ten-year-old boy of today Is in many respects quite as much a man as was his grandfather at eighteen, one might naturally expect that in due gradation the modern mid dle aged man should be old beyond his years. But such is not the case.
 Middle age, so far from .hurrying on into senility, so far even from standing still, would seem actually to have step ped backward and marched alongside of youth. There Is a jauntiness, a
 buoyancy, an elasticity, about the mid de age of today at which our fathers would have shaken their heads as un- seemIy. The gulf which once Separat- ed the middle aged parent from his children has been filled up. The cur tain which shrouded the middle aged man generally from the eyes of youth and which caused him to be regarded with respect if not with awe has been
 lifted, and in obedience to the same in- Huences which have made the school master the friend of the schoOlboy and the regimental officer almost the com rade of his men the middle aged man of today is never so happy as when working or playing upon an equality and actually in competition with youth.
 As with men, so 1t is with women.
 Social statisticians tell us that the age at which women are considered most eligible for marriage has been very not ably advanced of late years, and we know that the lament of many a match
 making mamma is that the most dread
 ed rivals of her darling are not to be found so much among the girls of her
 own age as among women who not
 many years ago would have been rele-
 gated to the ranks of hopeless old
 maidenhood. The fact that the middle
 aged woman of today is much younger
 in manner and tastes Is, of course, not
 the only reason for this, but it Is among
 the most potent.-London Spectator.

 The staffords played their first game last Saturday, defeating the Eagles of Rockville 5 to o. The day was windy and cold. The players could keep comfortable by attending to business, but the spectator who did not have on a winter coat was unlucky. The Rockvilles brought Harry Pinney, veteran pitcher, who in years gone by has defeated the Stafford nine more than once. He was little wild in the first inning, but soon settled down and pitched a ball that was difficult to hit. Col lins was in great form, and struck out the first six men up and two out of the three in the third inning He had sixteen strike-outs to his credit at the end of the game. Reynolds as back stop is playing a great game. Smith was in his usual position and played a good game. He had two runs to his credit. The short. stop seems to be the weakest position on the team. Lynch may be given an other try on Saturday, but it is not thought he will be able to make good. Green may be tried at short and Jack Nichols or some other good man at third. The visiting team did not succeed in getting man past the sec- ond base. The scOre:-

Another very good plan, open to the provincial as well as the city doctor, is to send testimonials to some wine or mineral water importer or to a manu- facturer of sanitary clothing and occa- sionally to a Quack medicine vender In this way they get their names con. stantly in the local papers without in fringing the rule against advertising.
 The worst of 1t all, from the public point of view, Is that 1t is not the best physician or surgeon who gets the greatest reputation, but the best man of business. And while patients crowd to the fashionable houses of mediocre doctors who have cleverly advertised themselves the most skillful physicians and surgeons of all grow rusty and all but starve in back streets.

 Dear Sirs: Mr---- President of a cotton mill at Union, s Che don't want to see his name in print had two offers of 500 gallons of paint $1. 80 and. $1. 25. Took the $1.25; and got skinned. He'd have got three quarters. skinned if he'd taken the other. The $1.3O was full-gallon; the $1.25 was 1S per cent. short. The full-measure paint was adulterated 40 per cent. the short-measure paint was adulterated 45 per cent. besides benzine in the oil, don't know how much.
 Devoe lead and -zinc wasn't sold in the town then.
 It don't pay to monkey with paint. Devoe costs less than any of lem {; not by the gallon, of course; by the house and year. That's how to reck- on it. Go by the name.

CAPTAIN KIDD'S TREE
AT RAILWAY BLEW DOWN.

RAILWAY, Dec. 22:-The old pep
peridge tree whose history dates back
over two hundred years was blown
down in the heavy gale of Wednes-
day night. 1t stood by the bend of
the Railway river, on what is now
the Bracher property. Every mar
in Railway who was a boy here fifty
years ago used to dive from it's
branches into the swimming hole,
where the water was twenty feet
deep.
During the days of Captain Kidd,
the older residents say, the pirate
came sailing up the stream one night
in a vessel laden with half a million
dollars in gold, contained in chests,
which was buried under the same old
tree. The piratical old captain was
accompanied by only n sailor. At
ter the boxes had been placed in the
ground, fearing the man might turn
! traitor, the captain shot him to death
and, placing the body on the chests,
buried the gold with the dead man
as guard. Ever after that no colored
people, or other superstitious persons
would go near the tree after dark,
saying that at midnight, in the full
of the moon, they could hear the
means and groans of the dead mans
spirit.
The whole field about there has
been dug up over and over, search
ing for buried treasure, but never
more than a few doubloons were ever
found. Many believe today that the
marshes and bed of the river cover
untold money placed there by Cap
tain Kidd and his men
