Yale's Oldest Living Graduate.

By the death on September 20, of John
Hustis, '33, an interesting competition
has sprung up for the position of oldest
living graduate: According to the
John V. Dodge, '35, of Evansville ILL.,,
who was born on October IA, 1915, is
the only survivor Of the class of So, the
oldest class with a living representative.
William D. Ely, '36, of Providence, r.
l., however, was born on June 16, 1915,
though a year later in GRADUATION;
George T. Spencer, 81, of 80 Third
street, Corning, N. Y, was born
still earlier, on November 6, 1914, and
Chester Dutton, 80, whose address is
R. T. D. 3, Concordia, Kan, is older
still, having been born on March "a,
1914. According to these statistics Ches-
ter Dutton is, if alive, the Oldest living
graduate. The secretary's office has re-
ceived no information from Mr.. Dutton
or his family for a considerable time,
and it is uncertain whether or not he is
still living. Of the four oldest living
Yale men it is a curious fact that their
ages are reversed from the usual order
of things, the youngest in year Of gradu-
alton of the four being the oldest in age.

1897 A RED LETTER YEAR.
Right to Vote Won by Women in Four
Countries of Europe.

Women all over the world are begin
ming to look upon 1907 as a red letter
year for their sex. Their first notable
step ahead this year was the granting of
parliamentary suffrage to the women of
Norway. Then Swedish women were
made eligible for municipal office; next
came the granting to the women of Den
mark of the right to vote for and serve
as members Of boards of public charities,
and now the British Parliament has just
passed the bill making women eligible as
town and county councillors and alder
men.
In 1883 when the county councils were
instituted in England it was thought
that women were eligible, and three
Lady Margaret Sandhurst, Miss Jane
Golden and Miss Cons-were elected by
the voters Of London. Beresford Hope,
who had been defeated by Lady Sand
hurst, contested the election on the
ground that women were not eligible.
The litigation was prolonged and mean
while the women were allowed to serve.
One of the duties assigned to Lady
Sandhurst was the supervision of TWEEN
ty-three infant asylums. When Mr..
Hope finally succeeded in ousting her
one of the leading London dailies sar-
castically remarked:
"It is to be hoped that the gentleman
will find himself equal to mothering all
those babies"

GREATEST OF PICK-ME-UPs.
Electric Cranes Which Handle 2OO-Ton
Locomotives.

Of all the labor saving devices that
have made possible the great industrial
works of this progressive age, says the
Ohio Magazine, none is more awe inspir-
ing from the standpoint of the layman
and none more important in the results
achieved for commerce and manufactures
than the electric crane.
Some years ago 100 ton cranes were
about the limit, but they are now built
to carry 200 tons with neatness and dis
patch and all under the direction of a
single workman, who operates the ma
chine by the turning of a lever and tray
els with it.
There is no more interesting spectacle
than to see a dismantled locomotive
weighing in the neighborhood of twenty
tons rushed into a repair shop, seized by
a great crane, drawn high in the air and
conveyed over the heads of numerous
others standing on the floor of the shop,
to the particular spot where it is to be
lowered and operations begun to make it
fit for the road.
There is probably no other device hav-
ing capabilities so varied. Ordinarily a
machine will do but one thing in one
way, but an electric crane seems able to
do almost anything in its line, and do it
to perfection. These machines cost, from
the smaller to the larger sizes, from
$4,000 to $4,000 each.

Good Sport.

There is a certain western congress
man, a golf enthusiast, who. when he
came to Washington for the first time,
was accustomed to get to the Chevy
Chase clubs links early in the morning,
when there would be no one to witness
his lack of skill.
On one occasion caddie had followed
him to the tee and offered to go the
course with him for the modest compen-
sation of so cents.
Il don't need you, my boy, said the
representative. I'll go it alone" and as
he spoke the westerner, making a ire
mendous swipe at the ball, missed it by
a foot.

Again the amateur declined the cad
dies attendance; and again he swung
at the ball, with the same result

said the boy.
This so ratified the newcomer that he
made three more wild swings. The cad
die. as he retreated bit, called out:

THE MISSIONARIES LANDING.
Father Derouet's Misadventures on the
West Coast of Africa.

Along the west coast of Africa a bar
extends, with occasional breaks for some
thousands of miles. 1t prevents steam
ships from making landing at impor-
tant towns on the mainland and necessi-
tateS the transfer OF passengers and
freight in small boats. This transfer is
often dangerous.
Father DerOuet has written lively ac-
count of his adventure in July last in
one of these boats. He was trying to
land at Settle CANA, a little north of the
Congo. Just before the critical moment
of crossing the bar he saw Father Mou-
lin joyously waving his hat on the shore.
Then in a tWinkling a mountain of
water struck the bar and tho boat was
tossed into the air. Father Derouet
found himself executing a somersauIt.
He came down on his head and would
probably have fractured his skull if he
had not landed ON the feet Of an On
fortunate boatman, which diminished the
violence of the blow.
On the bank Father Moulin saw him
appear and disappear three times and,
believing him lost, gave him absolutiOn.
Ten of the twelve boatmen had been
knocked into the sea and were struggling
in the waves.
The boat was soon in shallow water
but still far from land. The two boat
men helped the missionary ashore. In
the confusion wooden chest had fallen
on his hips and he was very sore, but
his chief grief on landing was that he
had lost his pastoral ring.
The baggage was fished out of the seas
piece by piece, but in what a state! The
vestments worn in the church service
were ruined and so were all the presents
he had brought for his brethren. Sea
water had spoiled everything.
The accident cost him about $3.50. But
the missionaries of Settle Cana consoled
him with this piece of logic as he drew
up, with woebegone air, before their
house:
Never mind, do not feel too much af-
fiicted. The principal piece has been
saved "

JELLY MAKING IS wAsTEFUL.
Learn to Utilize, by Little Ingenuity
All Your Materials.

In making jelly, don't take so much
trouble; be simple and wise. Don't waste
time squeezing jelly bag-to say moth
ing of staining your hands and all your
utensils-and don't waste good material
by rendering it into an intolerable mash.
Make as much jelly as you like and then
make something better of what remains,
says The Delineator. Suppose you de-
sire to put up Strawberries, blackberries
or other small fruot for winter use. Aft
er they have begun to boil in as small a
quantity of water as may be necessary
to give them a free start, remove the
surplus juice as it forms, using shall
low ladle for that purpose. After you
have secured as much as you need for
your jelly, you may make jam or mar
malade or anything else you like from
the maretial that remains. A good plan
is to add enough sugar to make the mix
ture pleasantly sweet, after which put it
into alright jars to be used in the MAX
ing of pies, shOrtcakes, etc, later. You
will never miss the juice of it has been
extracted by this method, and jelly made
in this way is positively too good to
keep.

A Prayer.

A little girl of or was quietly play
ing on the porch one afternoon. while
her father and one of his friends were
ENJOYING a smoke and a chat on political
matters. They paid no attention to the
little Girl who in turn seemed entirely
absorbed in her dolls and her teddy bear.
When the guest had gone, and bedtime
came. the child's mother noticed that she
was unusually silent and thoughtful. And
when she knelt to say her prayers there
came a pause after the usual petitions,
and then she resumed very earnestly:
And now. God. please take great care
of Yourself. for if anything should hap
nen to You. we should only have Mr..

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an infiamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have rumbling
sound OF imperfect hearing, and when 1t Is
entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
