self TO make a living"
Rev Mr.. Fosher is declared by his
friends to have resigned the pastorate
of the Ryder Memorial church because
his salary of $1,000 was not large
enough to support him and Mrs. Fo-
sher.
Some of the church trustees are said
to have demonstrated with the Fosh-
ers because they we're unconventional
in their ways. Mrs. Fosher is accused
of having worn fur coat on a sum-
mer day to the horror of her feminine
parishioners, while the charge is made
that Rev. Mr.. Fosher, wearing an old
coat, peddled vacuum cleaners.
Instead of looking after the well
fare of the people in their parish"
said DR.. ]. d. Payne, one of the trus-
tees, they were too deeply interested
in their own affairs, and besides, they
did not pay close enough attention to
the ordinary conventions in matters
OF dress and department"

er, now of the comic opera stage and
confident that he will become q star.

eats for me and mamma, and she had

sistent. A man is conventional when
he wears clothes at all, no matter If
they are old-fashioned and shabby"
Mrs. Fosher laughed merrily when
asked IL she would wear the same
clothes, or the same things. rather, as
the girls in the second act.
Il don't think 1t is at all important,
that part of It," she said. Il want to
stay with Dudley and Ill wear what
the part calls for. You know we are
rather liberal in some matters. When
Dudley came out of college 1t was
long argued between us whether he
should espouse the church or the
stage"

will not give us living, though we
both love the work. Now we shall
stay on the stage so long as 1t will

ROMANCE OF A LOTTERY.

For some time no claim was made
for the chief prize of $4,000 in the
Brussels Exhibition lottery. The iden
tity of the winning ticket has just
been established in a curious way.
A young Belgian miner who bad pur.
chased a ticket for the lottery was
killed while at work through a stone
falling on his head some days before
the results were announced. Accord
ing to custom he was buried in his
best suit of clothes.
When the weeks passed and the
prize remained unclaimed the young
mans relations remembered that he
had a lottery ticket in his waistcoat
pocket, and applied to the authorities
for permission to exhume the body
After some delay the request was
granted, and the winning ticket was
found in the dead mans pocket.

ROSE GRATING REQUIRES
ATTENTION TO DETAILS
Work, Be Devoted
to the Little ThinSs-Three Good
Plans Illustrated.

Grating, like lots of other green
house work, must be started properly
and much attention must be paid to
every detail of the work. To start
with, good manetti stocks must be
procured and we much prefer the Eng
lish manetti to any other, principally
because the stocks are better rooted
and the wood Is much firmer than the
French stock, although we have had
excellent results using the latter. The
stocks should be potted into 2h-inch
pots, care being taken TO pot firmly.
using compost of good rose soil, the
same as one would use for potting off
rooted cuttings. says Gardening Mag
azine. Soil three parts, manure one
part and, II the soil is rather heavy, a
little sharp sand to quicken the root
action will be suitable. II the stocks
are extra well rooted, it may be ad-
visable to snip of the tips of the roots,
but the potting will be rather slow
any way and II Is best to pot them
with all the roots that can be left on
them; never chop them of short.
After potting, place the plants in a
cool house at q temperature OF so de-
grees, or at least enough Of them to
fill the grating case-the others can
be heeled In a cold frame or house
that is free from frost and potted up
when needed. Give the plants thor
ough watering and syringe the tops
twice day.
1t is a good plan to have two knives
and one to cut the manetti with. Both
should be very sharp. so as to leave a
perfectly smooth cut. The manetti

PRAYER A MORTGAGE LITTER
Experts Locate oil Well on the Farm
of a Devout Louisiana
Petitioner.

Gueldan, La.-Was F. Nye's prayer
answered? This is the question being
asked By more than 200 men of this
parish.
MIR. Nye is a farmer living near
Lake Arthur who has been much
agitated over the mortgage on his
farm. Being a devout Christian, he
prayed that the Lord would show him
a way to lift the mortgage. He had
a dream one night and in his dream
saw stranger who told him oil was
at a certain grassy knoll on his
farm.
A few days later Prof William II.

NJ. Lucien Magne. the French in
spector general Of historical monu-
ments. has made one of the most re-
markable discoveries OF recent years
in the old abbey of Fontevrault. That
certain of England's kings and queens
were buried there was well known,
but It has always been told that the
tombs were rified many years ago.
Henry ii. and Richard l. were buried
there, as were the wives of King John
and Henry II.
The architects who were engaged
in restoring the abbey, after digging
down to the original level Of the nave
and demolishing the seventeenth-cen-
tury partition, discovered traces of in
scriptions and paintings in an arched
recess of the northwest wall of the
transept 1t would seem that the alb
bess. Louise of Bourbon, In redecora-
ting the cloisters had closed up the
opening of the tombs. and hence they
had escaped being rified as so many
other tombs were in the revolutionary
movement OF 1889. And so they are
unearthed today-the actual remains
of Richard the Lion-Heart, and of his
father. Here the Psychologists and
other onlookers had before them all
that remains OF the once fiery Richard.
The most curious detail, however, is
that the sixteenth-century builders,
who transferred the tombs OF the
Plantagenets to this side chapel, did
not hesitate to bend forward the up
per part of Henry lis skeleton down
TO the lower part in order to shorten
the tomb so that 1t might serve to
support the vaulted arch designed to
protect the second pair of tombs; and
he who died of a broken heart through
the incratitude of his sons was thus
cruelty and irreverently maltreated
after death. Il is believed that the re
mains of all four sovereigns will be
reburied under IT'S own funeral monu-
ment at the entrance to the choir OF
the newlv-restored abbey.

WOMAN IS ACTIVE AT 40.

Mrs. Sarah Brandon of Moundsville.
w. Va, is said by many to be not only
the oldest woman of her state, but
also one OF the most distinguished.
Mrs. Brandon is one hundred and ten
years or age, is hale and hearty and
does her own homework, washing,
ironing, scrubbing, and tends a tiny
garden in the rear OF her humble
home just on the outskirts of the city.
She has seldom been Ill during her
long and strenuous career, and then
only with slight colds, headaches, and
such minor ailments.
Almost one hundred years ago Mrs.
Brandon, but a slip of a girl, while
playing with her little brother, suf-
fered an accident, the marks OF which
she has carried through life. The boy
and girl were playing Indian, and In
discharging his crossbow. the young
ster shot out the right eye OF his lit
tie sister.
This venerable lady was married at
the age of fifteen to a man much
her senior. The couple were then
living in Ohio, their native state.
Twenty-three children, two sets OF
twins, blessed their union, only one a
girl Sixteen of the boys served in
the Civil war, fourteen fighting on the
Union and two on the Confederate
side, while all escaped the severe ac-
tons with their lives. Every one was
wounded in battles, Evan, the young
est, now seventy years old, being shot
or stabbed II times. bearing the scars
today
For producing the most soldiers OF
any woman for the war, Mrs. Bran
don's picture adorns the national gal
iery at Washington, while at Column
bus, o.. she has been similarly hon
ored by her native state.
She is a smoker and says that her
pipe is her only comfort as the weight
of years bears upon her. Tobacco of
the strongest variety is the only kind
suited to her taste, and her teeth are
worn away where she clamps the pipe
stem.
Her husband has long since been
dead, but ten of her sons still live. and
all are the fathers of large families.
Her oldest. now eighty-nine, boasts
that he never suffered sick day in
his life. He is millworker. and lives
at Bellaire, o. Her youngest, Evan,
is a coal miner and seldom loses a
days work, though he was recently
badly mashed by fall of slate. He
has nine children. all grown.
Beside receiving personal notice
from the government for her sons war
service, the aged woman receives a
liberal pension, owing to her husbapd
having also been a soldier. Each pom.
sion day, the stopped figure may be
seen vending its way toward the coUn.
ty clerks Office, where she receives
her check, then tramping back to her
cottage, distance of over three miles.
Beside this, Mrs. Brandon also makes
her weekly pilgrimage TO market, re.
turning with a well-fllled basket OF
vegetables and staples on her arm.

apples too, but did not sort or pack
them In barrels. They were carefully
placed in the wagon box which was
lined with straw and they looked very

and rather than cut the price, and be-
ing a bit sore beside, l started back
home with the load. A mile out of
town l was overtaken by a woman
neighbor and who had sold out clean
before noon and on telling her my
troubles, she looked the apples over
carefully and offered me 80 cents a
bushel which accepted. We changed
wagons and she drove off home.
The next day went to town with
some curiosity to see how she dis
posed of the fruit and l must say
not only had my curiosity satisfied but
was greatly surprised and somewhat
chagrined as well. My neighbor had
sorted the apples into three classes;
the prime ones she had polished with
cloth and wrapped In paper and
packed in boxes each holding bush
ell; the seconds were packed In boxes
without paper and the culls were pack

carefully assorted. She had no diff

mind then, that hereafter l would
spare no pains to put my apples and
everything else sell IN the most at
tractive shape possible before taking
II to market. My wife laughed at me
when told her the story but she took
the lesson just as l did and now in
stead OF sending her eggs to town In

boxes holding two dozen each and
every egg is stamped with the date on
which IL was laid. She gets an aver

did before. Her butter instead of be-

ANT THAT "CANS" FOOD.

Capt. Percy l.. Jones of the United
States army medical corps makes an
interesting statement about certain
ants that attack the larvae of Aies.
They do so in a way which proves
that they are no novices at the proce-
dure. One will attack an extremity,
and apparently bite it, and as soon as
the larva begins to coil and makes eff
forts to escape, numbers of others will
Immediately jump upon 1t, and in the
course of few moments the larva
will be apparently dead. I believe
that the ant introduces some venom in
the act of biting, formic acid in char
acter, which preserves the larva as
food until such time as the ant needs
it-cans it, in other words"

MON0PLANE HAT IN PARIS.

Considerable sensation was caused
on the Paris boulevards by a lady
with monoplane hat. The hat, which
was exactly the shape of a Bleriot
monoplane, was fastened on with two
large pins having ebony propellers by
way of knobs, and these propellers
turned in the wind. The new fashion
obtained so much recognition that the
owner of the hat called a taxicab. But
to the crowds intense amusement, the
lady could not get in through the door,
and the hood had to be lowered before
she could enter.
