TO THE SIXTH GENERATION.
People Who Have Lived to See Many
 of Their Descendants.

It Is given to few men. as to M. T. Wullschleger of the canton of Vaud
 to celebrate the birth of a great-great- granddaughter, but even more remark able experiences than this are on rec ord, according to the Westminster Ga zette. Dr. Plot in his Natural His tory of Staffordshire" quotes the case of old Mary Cooper of Kings Bromley
 who lived to see the sixth generation of her descendants, and was in the position to say, Rise up, daughter
 and go to thy daughter. for thy daugh- ter's granddaughter hath daughter" while Horace Wapole lived to see seven descents in one family, the pro geny of Mrs. Godfrey, mistress of James II. It is not long since the dow ager duchess of Abercorn died leaving more than 200 direct descendants. at least four of whom were great-great- grandchildren. About the same time Mrs. Sarah Ann Woolf, of Utah, nursed her twenty-third great-great grand child, one of 303 living descendants;
 while it is said of a Spaniard who re- turned from America to his native land few years ago that he was ac- companied by 2SO of his descendants
 including three great-great- -grandsons

THE TYPEWRITER.
Various Tests That Should Be Applied
Before Purchasing.

Various Tests That Should Be Applied
Before Purchasing.
Always look a typewriter over
we'll before buying or renting.
The first test which a stenogra-
pher makes of a new typewriter is
to ascertain whether all the keys
work and whether the types are all
perfect or not.
The sentence "The quick brown
fox jumps over the lazy dog" is the
one which is usually used, for it
contains every letter of the alpha
bet. Many use eNow is the time
for every good man to come to the
aid Of his country" But this one
is not so good, for four or five let
ters are missing.
After punching out the test SEN
tence on the small letters it should
be repeated, using the capital let
ters. Then the figures should be
punched in rotation, for they are
often inaccurate.
The most vulnerable points in q
typewriter are the keys and types
With little use they are apt to fly
off, and it is highly important to
ascertain that these are all securely
affixed. IF
Another point is the action. If
the typewriter does not have q free
and easy movement, you are certain
to have trouble with it.
In buying a second hand machine
or in renting always look carefully
at the types, for usually they are
worn uneven from use or have been
Jared slightly out Of place. If two
or three types are inaccurate, they
will ruin tie whole appearance of
the typewritten sheet.
1t has been found by many large
firms that the renting Of machines
is much cheaper than the owning
of them. A typewriter needs con-
slant attention and repairs. Usual
ly the renting company includes the
repairing in the rental contract,
and that is where the saving comes
in.
A typewriter is as delicate as q
watch. Never attempt to repair .
break yourself. It will probably
evolve into a series of complications
which will make q costly repair JOB.
Always keep the machine clean.
The work will be nester and cleaner
if the machine is clean and well oil
cd, and the life Of the typewriter
depends directly upon the cleaning
and oihng.-New York Herald

His Only Escape

There is a story often told to Il
lustrate the manner IN which Pres
ident Lincoln was besieged by COM
mission seekers. Hearing that a
brisadier general and his horse had
been captured and the general tax
en- to Richmond, he asked eagerly
about the horse. ). e. 3
''The horse!w exclaimed his m
formant. "You want to know
about, the horse? :
; 1Yes saids Lincoln 81 can
make a hrigadier any day, but the
horse was valuable" !" -, -. -: 80
To this John Russell Young, n
his memoirs, adds "a similar tale
He was calling upon Lincoln ONE
day at the White House.
q met So-and-so On the steps," "
he remarked.
q, 'eYes," replied the president. q
have inst made his son a brigadier." "
"a gsneral!" exclaimed Mr..
Young in astonishment-
1rYes," said Mr.. Lincoln, with
o great weariness, NYou know l

WOMEN OF HOLLAND.
Their Costumes Too Complex For
Words, Says Feminine Writer.

The women's costume is trifle
too complex for verbal description,
as feminine belongings usually are,
says Florence Craig AlLrecht in
ScriIher's, bat tie white lace cap
which covers tie head from eye
brows to nape OF neck and from ear
to ear, cur:ing cut in rounded wings
on each side of her check, is always
a conspicuous and inevitable portion
of a woman's attire. 1t may posi-
blv be that on Sunday this cap Is a
trife winter or sitter or GaIntier
than on week days, but the differ
ence is rot very apparent.
The ladies assure us there is a
vast difference in the quality of the
net and the amonnt of handiTork
employed, but the lens made no
special note of that. In shape and
outline the camera finds great dis
tinction between these caps and
those of Katwyk or Marken or Bois
lie Due, but between Sunday and
Monday caps in Volendam it records
none whatever. For the rest of the
costume feminine Holland asks
above all things apparently very
fiat, narrow chest, surmountlng
enormous hips, and Volendam is no
exception to this fashion rule.
The invariable black chest waist"
of the elder women is usually
Frightened by a square yoke OF
lighter color and material, and the
dark apron or overskirt is topped
by six inches or more of gay plaid
or bright colored band worn over an
underskirt of dull blue striped or
black material and uncountabse pet
1icosts.
About the threat q collar formed
of many rows 81 heavy dark red
coral beads is fastened by huge nl-
yer clasps, and tine number OF rows,
the size and quality Of the beads
are matters for feminine pride-
Long hair is not the only glory OF
woman in Holland, save perhaps at
Narken. 1t is usually hidden and
at volendam is cut quite close and
entirely covered by q tight fitting
thick black silk cap concealed be-
meath the snowy white lace.
The younger girls, from the
tiniest teddler to the young meisje,
old enough to wee, wesr dresses
and caps the exact counterpart OF
their grave mothers, no less full OF
skirt or narrow of chest, but much
gayer in color. A group OF tiny
,maidens in a stiff breeze on the dixie
resembles nothing more than q
swarm OF butterflies
