DEwEY's HOME RENTED.
Gift of the People to Be Occupied by
n Rich Club Man.

Washington, Aug. 29.-The home
given to Admiral Dewey by the Amer
lean people after his victory in Manila
bay has been leased to Frank Mitchell,
a millionaire club man. 1t is under
stood that the new tenant will begin
occupancy in October. Admiral
Dewey has not lived in the home for
nearly a year. A for rent" sign has
adorned one of the front windows for
many months. Admiral Dewey, it is
said, found the house too small for his
needs, owing to the great amount of
entertainment his position calls for
him to extend to official and social
Washington. The admiral now lives
in a mansion which is the property Of
Mrs. Dewey.
The house which the American. peo-
pie gave to Admiral Dewey cost about
$4,000. 1t has seventeen rooms and
is elegantly appointed throughout.
Soon after the house was given to the
admiral he transferred it to his wife.
The admiral said that when he gave
the house to his wife he believed that
he was doing the most gracious act an
American gentleman could do. There
was criticism of the admiraPs action
and he became nettled to the extent of
saying that he was sorry he had ever
accepted the house.

The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical scientists are
unanimous in the conclusion that the gen.

is many years below the attainment pos
sible with the advanced knowledge of
which the race is now possessed. The
critical period that determines its dura-
ton, seems to be between so and 60: the
proper care of the body during this de-
cade can not be too strongly urged: care
lessness then being fatal to longevity

BUTTON THEIR OWN WAISTS.
New Work Women Have Surmounted
Great Obstacle.

Marvellous as it may seem, New
York women have lately discovered
way Of fastening their waists up the
back without calling for assistance.
Thought not lacking in generosity, they
became SO tired of the outstretched
palm of the chambermaids that they
now feel that it is time to guard their
pockets. The Gotham woman discov-
cred that if she put her blouse on
hind side before, with the sleeves
hanging free, it could be fastened
from top to bottom, with the excep-
ton of the hooks at the neck, and
then turned around and the arms
slipped into the sleeves without ur-
duly straining the fastenings. So SIM
pie! So strange that no one had
thought of it before. Or is 1t possible
other women have used the plan and
meanly kept it to themselves? VIII

now have a new lease Of life?

Old PEOPLES VILLAGE.

been further away than Waterbury, a
distance of 25 miles. The inhabitants
of this quaint semi-abandoned town
number less than rs. Once upon a
time it was a much larger and pros
porous community, but, like many
New England towns, it has been left
to take care of itself, while the farm
