Simple Life and Longevity.

In Norfolk, England, fhere are
In every village individuals of
more than so years of age
and not infrequently one or two
over 80, and those of 70 and upward
are regarded as not even old. Many
farm laborers of 70 are quite hale and
hearty, working from early morning
up to five and six O'Clock in the even
ing, and some are so vigorous as to
earn full mans wages.
And the women in the country.

cious of life perhaps than are the men.
In one village personally known to me,
containing about 800 people, within
the past six months have died three
women of more than 80 years of age,
the oldest of these being no less than
96. In another Norfolk village with
inhabitants to the number of 400 there
live man of 95, a woman of 90. q

several of both sexes over so. In YET

This longevity OF the Norfolk peas

interesting pathological side TO it. The
chief enemy of the farm laborer of the
eastern counties from the standpoint
OF health is rheumatism. Not many
reach even middle age without having
been the victims OF rheumatism. and
large number are crippled in their
old age by this disease. But In spite
OF this the average of longevity seems
10 be very high. although as well as
rheumatism he has TO contend with
the lack OF adequate housing accom-.
mediation and want of proper sanitary
arrangements. That to eat sparingly
Of plain wholesome food. to be much

A Ghost Eradicator

(From the Westminster Gazette.)
THESE are the days of the specialist
In all things, and it is not surprising
to read of gentleman who describes
himself as The Original Haunted
House Restorer and Ghost Eradicator."
Nor is it astonishing to find that he
complains of slackness of trade. A
ghost, IL it be we'll authenticated and
respectable ghost represents an asset.
and these are days when property own
ers do not willingly sacrifice assets
Moreover, well established family
ghost with history of generations has
a title to regard himself as vested in
terest and entitled to. all compensation
for disturbance. If there were any real
prosperity in this trade of ghost ban
isher we should have to counteract it's
destructive power by great league
and covenant of all the writers Of
Christmas stories, of the amateurs of
the occult and the scientific searchers
after spirit world. For all these the
ghost is an essential to continued ex-
istence. Danish the spook and their
occupation would be gone, and John
Burns would be invaded by an army of
psychical researchers out of work and
demanding special treatment in the
forthcoming legislation of the govern
ment.

The Queens Hobbies
(1rrn... a.Hf ID ~

NUEEN ALEXANDRA has recently
" made one or two interesting addi-
tions to her large 9mber vf fans of all
ages and nations, has now
one of the larges. in exist
ence One of these>is a. ONE lace
and silk fan that at one time belonged
to Marie Antoinette, while another is a
magnificent specimen of seventeenth
century Low German work. The last
named was discovered a short time ago
by the German empress, who, knowing
the queens partiality for these articles,
purchased ii and presented it to her.
The fans, which now amount to about
800 of all kinds, are mostly kept at
Sandringham Another great hobby of
Queen Alexandra is the collecting of
anything that had belonged to the un
happy Marie Antoinette.
Prominent among these relics are the
shoes she wore when led to the guillo-
tine and several chairs that came from
the Petit Trianon and other palaces
of the queen. Queen Alexandra, by the
way, has often been approached by her
more intimate friends to allow some
of her treasures to be displayed on be-
halI of some charity or another. Hither-
to, however, she has consistently de-
clined to do this; but the princess of
Wales hopes for better fortune next
year, when she purposes to give
great bazaar for a charitable insti-
tuition in which both she and the queen
are very greatly interested.

Andrew Johnson's Farewell to
Office

tt'rom the "reminiscences of William
H. Crook. in the Century,
was to the party of Sumner and
Stevens that Andrew Johnson yielded
on the 4th of March, 1869, when, little
before noon, he left the White House,
and it was to man by whom he con-
sidered that he had been betrayed.
Johnson had refused to ride in the car
rage with President Grant, as has al
ways been the custom for the outgoing
president. | have heard 1t said that
General Grant refused to ride with him.
do not know whether that is true or
not; 1T does not seem like President
Grant, who was kindness itself. But
/ do know that Johnson refused to ride
with the new president. l heard him
say that he would not do it.
80 johnson remained quietly in the
White House while the Inauguration
ceremonies were in progress, gathering
up his papers and making final prep
arations. He took away with him all
the records of. the office and the scrap
books which | had compiled. He said:
found nothing here when came.
and / } am going to leave nothing here

When he left all the employees of the
White House gathered on the portico to
say goodby to him. No one else was
there. His friends and enemies alike
had fiocked to see the installation of
the new president The family, had pre-
eeded him. With all the others. L shook
his hand and said:

mouthed. fanged dragon, is most char
acteristic. while the finish of the mi
mute details, the rich yellow tone of
the ivory and the fact that it is pro-
duced in tn block from one solid
piece make this scabbard splendid
example of the japanese ivory carver,s
art
How to tell the intrinsic value of a
carving is what puzzles many people
who are not adopts in the hallmarks
of the art. Much depends upon the
delicacy and finish of the work and the
effectiveness of the design. If old, too,
the value of the carving is greatly en-
hanced. Here is where the ivory faker
gets in his work. Some japanese cary
ings are family stained to suggest the
yellow of age, and some have been
stained with India ink TO give what
the Japanese imagine is a more life
like representation of garments on some
of the native figures. These effects.
however, are easily discernible. All
these things are peculiar to the Japa-
nese work, but an artist producing a
really fine bit of carving depends OH
fine piece of ivory. on the quality of
the grain, and endeavors to carve his
figure, or design, whichever ii may be.
ont of one solid piece, thereby insuring
the greatest perfection both in work
manship and design.
Second only to the work of the ,.Japa-
nese carvers is that of the Chinese.
1t is not so much a matter of ones
superiority over the other as of the
difference in their aim. The Japanese
carver devotes his attention almost
wholly to elaborate designing, rich
