CAN LITE AND WALK.

Mrs. Polly Van Pelt of Phillips Creek, Pennsylvania, is nearly 100 years old, but she hasn't become tired of life, or unable to carry it on pretty vigorous ly. She is one of those who never rode in a railroad train in her life, and the evidence shows that she doesn't really need to. She can walk She walked last week between Addison, New York, and Galeton, Pennsylvania, a distance of twenty-four miles, in two days. Wishing to visit relatives in the latter place, she decided to walk, as her friends could not persuade her to take a train. She believes trains are too dangerous, and, as her health is fair at present, she would not take the risk.
 Such incidents as this show what can be done. Of course we can't all keep out of railroad trains all our lives, and perhaps we need not want to, as the facts show that they are among the safest places. Nor can all of us live to be nearly a hundred. but most of us can prolong our lives by doing what Mrs. Van Pelt does. If people half her age would walk twenty-four miles in two days, as she did, or even twelve, they would be better for it and live longer. She is a wise walking woman.

The Queen of England is thought by her many servants to be an ideal mis- tress. When once a girl enters the roy al service, provided she remains honest, truthful, and diligent, she is assured of her position for life, or until matri- mony offers her even a greater induce naent than residence in a royal palace Yet, says P. T. O., there are women in Balmoral Sandringham, and Buck ingham Palace who have refused countless offers of connubial bliss 7ath- CT than leave the service of so gracious mistress as her majesty the queen. She is thoughtful and considerate, and never misses an opportunity of person. ally inquiring after each girls com fort. The housekeepers at each of the royal palaces are often called upon to report to the queea on the welfare of her maids. Everything is done to make their lives happy. Picnics are organized in the summer and dances tare the vogue when winter sets in. At Ralmoral the queen always makes a point of terminating the autumn visit of the royal family by inviting the keepers, ghillies, and servants to a dance in the great ball room of the cas- tie, and her majesty always makes an ideal hostess, entering heartily into the general fun and frolic.

Henry Arctowski, antarctic explorer, has been telling the AAtwerp commit tee about his plans. He intends to go ietJ lne ice where Commander de Ger lache came out of it in 1899. "A little to the south of Edward VII. Land and toward the vest he says, there's the wall of ice known as Ross. It is from this point that the journey toward the south pole can be started with the greatest chance of success. There is an immense flat glacier upon which should like to use one or two automo- piles for journeying tow ard the south, not in the vain hope of reaching the pole, but for the purpose of tracing the prolongation of Edward VII. Land and to see if this prolongation extends to Victoria Land, situated about 20 de- grees farter west. In this case there must be an immense gulf separating Victoria Land from Edward VII Land If however, the coasts are prolonged without joining, there would be a wide arm of the sea separating the antarctic zone into two hemispheres."

Electricity is in and around every thing, SC it is not at all surprising that it now makes it's appearance as an ar ticle of import and export. The case has arisen between Italy and Switzer- land, the Italian government conced- ing to that of Switzerland the privilege, on behalf of the town of Stabio, town in the Ticino Canton, of drawing elec- trical power for industrial and illumin- ating purposes from water supplies on Italian territory, and principally from the Vizzola torrent. The power will be distributed not only in the town of Stabio itself, but in a wide district around. The amount of water rent to be paid to Italy is not stated.

The New York Tribune has helped make many men. It Is told of former Representative Joseph H, Walker of Worcester, who died the other day, as early as 1S45 when he was only boy of sixteen, he began to take the Tri- bune, and one of his favorite diver sions was to study the deliberations of Congress as set forth in this journal
 When an important measure was i'm troduced he would take list of the members of Congress and check their names as he thought they would vote upon it, afterward comparing his fore cast with the actual vote to see how nearly he had estimated their position.
