Republican principle of protection, an

REAL CENTENARIANS.
Some Authenticated Cases of Ex-
treme Old Age.

From the Westminster Gazette.
For the deaths of three British CEN
tenarians to be ehronicled on the same
day must surely be an almost unique oc-
currence. The names and ages OF these
veterans are: Mrs. Margaret Pagan. 1O4
Samuel Goldstein. 1O6. and Mrs Honor
Coleman. who died from the effects of a
fall at the reputed age of LOT years, thus
recalling the similar fate Of the famous
Catherine. Countess OF Desmond. whose
life of 40 years was brought to tragic
close by fall from a cherry tree.
There are some who look with more
than suspicion on any age which claims
to exceed century. and probably the IT,
ties of many reputed centenarians. espe-
cially in the humber walks of life, would
not bear close examination.
But the records prove conclusively that
Sir Moses Montetiore and Admiral PROVO
Wallis lived into their second century

vived his 112th birthday; that NJ. Soule.
another Frenchman, died at us: that a
Roumanian. one Pascal Vicarn, lived 12C
years and that an Armenian nun entered
convent at Jerusalem at seventeen and
never passed Its threshold to the day OF
her death. ninety-eight years later.

An Easy Way to Remember Dates

From Tit Bits.
The following lines, committed to mem
ory give an easy method of stating off
hand the day of the week of any date in
1903:
Just mothers arms, my jocund Jean;
spell DER Natures dream.
The number of letters in each word
represents the date of the first Saturday
in the particular month to which 1t cor
responds: thus, Just" for January. has
four letters. because the. first Saturday in
January is the fourth of that month: "a.
representing February, has one letter, as
the first Saturday in February is the
first day of that month: and SO on
through all the twelve months.
Each word of the twelve. excepting the
first "a begins with the same letter as
the month It represents. Thus. Just
begins with u" because January begins
with ~" 'mothers' begins with m
because March begins with M" and SO
on all through. with the exception Of "a
for February.
Having obtained the dates OF the first
Saturdays the date of every other Sat
urday in the month is got by the addition
Of the necessary number of sevens. from
which 1t Is but a step to any intermediate

The turbans that are being worn IN
Paris are made of the softest materials
in orchid hues in combinations of white
and rose or in delicate shades of dun
gray. They are worn without algrettes
or pompOns or anything else tending to
increase their height.
Some have a single heavy tassel OF gold
lace falling to one side. Others are trim

Sometimes also a very handsome piece
of jewelry. a crescent, a sunburst or a

Interest is being evinced by quarry

blasting operations in the new explosive

Gently. although ii readily exploded when
detonated, hammering and other similar
efforts failed to explode the mass. while

plunged therein or when gunpowder was
fired on it. Moreover, friction failed to
produce any evil results. Under these
circumstances IL is becoming widely adopt
ed for excavating stone by blasting. for
which it appears to be eminently adapted.
especially as explosion Is not accom-
panied by the emission of poisonous
fumes. while 1t can also be more cheaply
produced than the majority of explosive
agents in general use for such work.
