Mans Life.

A mans life is full of crosses
and temptations, He comes into
this world without his consent and
goes out against his will, and the
trip between the two is exceeding
ly rocky. The rule of contraries
is one OF the important features of
the trip.
When he is little, the big girls
kiss him; when he is grown the
little girls kiss him. If he is poor
he is bad manager; if he is rich
he is dishonest. If he needs credit
he cannot get it. II he is prosper
Gus everyone wants to do him
favor.
If he is in politics, it is for pie"
if he is out of politics you cannot
place him and he is no good for
his country. If he does not give
to charity he is stingy cuss; if
he does it is for show. If he is
actively religious he is a hypocrite;
If he takes no interest in religion,
he is a hardened sinner. If he
shows affection he is a soft speci-
men; if he seems to care for no
one, he is cold-blooded. If he
dies young, there is great future
ahead of him; if he lives to an old
age he has missed his calling.
The road is rocky but man loves
to travel it.-EX.

which would indicate that a
piscatorial diet is conducive both
to longevity and firm adhesion to
good resolutions. Her daily
bread amounted to $50 loaves,
and she has eaten 50,73C potatoes
and -, 3,l36 cabba9es
In tea drinking the widow did
not come up to rat is probably
the normal figure among the
gentle sex, but she credits herself
with having drur k l34,32O cups of
the beverage, besides 81, ,I6O
glasses OF milk. and only 33,5SO
glasses OF wafer.
The old womau WAS married but
once-and in that instance she
walked to London and back to
have the knot tied-adding fifty
four miles to the 221. .426 she
figures out she has walked during
her lifetime.
The now wrinkled face she has
washed $1,000 times, her hands,
l23,424. and her feet, 2,20S times.
She has slept 302, ,220 hours of her
life away, drawn 33,5S4 buckets Of
water from the we'll in her garden,
cut her finger nails 1856 times !;
and her toe nails 750 times.
Dressing, undressing and arrang-
ing her simple toilet accounted
for 81, ,I60 hours of her ninety two
wears. She has dore up and
taken down her hair 53.4S0 times.
She has wrung the necks of 1900
chickens, fattened l3S pigs, and
written l,l04 letters. Her cottage
floor she has scrubbed 3.99S times,
has dug up her little garden 140
times, and trimmed the hedge
surrounding it 1873 times.
Only one night has been away
from the humble cottage in which
she lives. That was the night
following her flight to London to
get married. She passed it in her
husbands arms, beside a haystack.
She is wonderfully hale old
woman, and in her neat, round
hand she still continues to set
down daily the story of her sim
Pile life, She has accomplished
something absolutely unique,
Never, surely, since Adam delved
and Eve span, has there been
produced such a minute record of
a human lite.

81 YEARS AT COST OF 81 A WEEK.
Widow Roffey Has Kept Track of Every.
thing She Has Done.

IoNDONt ~ 3 iSui q
task is the keeping of a consecu-
tive diary that few of the millions
of people who resolve each year
to keep complete record OF
their doing from day to day carry
out their purpose. As 1t is about
this season that one is likely TO
let his New Year resolution slide,
and blank pages begin to appear
in his journal, the remarkable
story which has just come to light
of the record kept by an old wo-
man in England should prove
some stimulant to the careless
diarist.
Widow Roffey of Newgate,
near Dorking. possesses a detailed
record of everything she has done
since she has learned to write in
the 92 years she has lived SO
accurately has the record been
kept. that the old woman can tell
to penny how much money she
has spent, how much she has eaten,
how many times she has washed
her hands and face, and bathed
her feet, and various other things
that ordinary folk never keep tract
of. For the historian of thous
and years hence, who will doubt
less regard our much vaunted
civilization as barbaric, his amaz-
ing record will constitute a verit-
able bonanza of statistical infor-
nation.
Widow Roffey has just passed
her 92d birthday. On the an
niversary she was entertained at
dinner by a friend, and there
announce some of the totals of
her figures to date. The cost of
maintenance from birth to her 92d
birthday she figures to be S9,56S-
an average expenditure of about
50 week
Songs which were sung at her
birthday dinner-"A. hunting We
Will Co." and MY Old Gray
Mare records as having
sung JOG times since her father
taught them to her when a little
girl.
The inventory of clothing which
she has worn would make an in
teresting comparison with like
record from some woman of the
extravagant class. She has had
only forty seven petticoats during
her life, forty-one dresses, eighty
pairs of shoes and 274 pairs of
stocking-only three news pairs a
year. In bonnets and hats she
kept down to the modest number
of 165 or less than two a year. OF
aprons she wore fifty-three, shawls
and wraps, thirty-t four; gloves and
mittens, thirty; corsets, sixty
three; hair nets, sixteen; and hair
pins, just 1000, Many of these
articles we're made by her own
nimble fingers.
