Recorder Harold e. Piekersgill
tells a funny one about a pond in
Alpine cemetery that has served for
years as a home for fish, turtles,
toads and, as the recorder puts 1T,
several other kinds of amphibious
creatures" 1t seems that the pond
is drying up, and the fish are f1oun-
dering about in two inches or less
of water, and are slowly dying. Now,
the recorder wants to know If it will
be proper to charge the goldfish for
graves in the cemetery. He seems
to think not, inasmuch as they have
not been compelled to pay rent.

is by what means the plant is stimu-

OLDEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD
Bulgarian Peasants Daughter Says
She Is 1875 Years Old-Worked
In Fields.

Berlin.-The claim OF Frau Dutkie-
witz Of Posen, born on February 21,
1855, to be the oldest woman In the
world is now contested by Nine Baba
Vasilka, who was born in May, 1884, In
the little Bulgarian village OF Bavelsko,
where she has lived ever since. The
record of her birth Is preserved In a
neighboring monastery Of the orthodox
Greek faith
She is the daughter of a peasant and
has worked herself as peasant up till
a comparatively recent date. For more
than 100 years she regularly worked In
the fields. according to the custom OF
her country, where women are en-
ployed in all sorts of manual labor.
The events of her life up to the tims
when she attained the age of eighty
are far more distinctly impressed on
her mino than the happenings OF the
last forty-six years.
Her son Todor. following the family
tradition, has also worked in the fields
as a peasant nearly all his life, but he
has also taken part In various wars
and rebe,lions in the Balkan peninsula.
He is not quite as fresh and vigorous
as his mother. although he is still capa-
BILE of doing a good days work. and en-
joying such smal. luxuries of life as a
pipe and the strong spirits drunk by
the Bulgarian populace.
The Oldest woman in the world IL
said to enjoy fairly good eyesight and
good hearing. and she is able to walk
without support She lives on a pen
sion paid to her by many Of her de
scendants, who number more than one
hundred.

MACHINE TO SEPARATE COINS
Simple Device Invented by Pennsyl'
Vanla Man Great Convenience
In Bank.

Harrisburg, Pa.--At the age OF SO
years, Daniel Drawbaugh. the prolific
Cumberland county inventor, to whom
many people give the credit for being
the originator OF the modern tele.
phone, is organizing a company and
planning to erect big factory for the
manufacture of a coin separator which
his brain has recently evolved.
The separator consists Of series OF
brass plates, one above another, per.
forated with holes sufficiently large to
allow a coin OF certain size to slip
through, and no larger. Mr.. Draw
Daugh's model works to perfection. He
dumps in a shovelful or so of dollars,
halves, quarters, dimes, nickels and
cents, gives the crank turn and the
dollars drop into a tube; another turn
and out come the halves, etc. Pressure
of button in the tube separates the
coins into piles of FIVE. ten. twenty,
etc, for easy rolling into packages.
Mr.. Drawbaugh says two sizes Of the
separator will be marketed. one re
failing at S65 and the other at SIS
The price. he claims. will bring II A.,
machine within the reach OF evd y
financial institution or counting rol N
which needs one, while previous s. p
arators have been so complicated OF
so expensive as to be either p, lc
tically useless or beyond the reach ol
the average individual or firm.

London Mllllners Now Oppose Use Of
Plumaae In Hats-Probably
Will Become Law.

London.-The next session OF parlia-
ment is likely to be enlivened by an
interesting debate on the plumage bill
in reduced before the close of the last
session by a private member for the
purpose Of prohibiting the sale or ex-
change o. plumage birds, which are
sacrifice in enormous numbers on the
altar Of fashion.
The rumor that Queen Mary herself
inspired the bill is sufficient to prom
ise an active ard successful campaign,
since the great millinery establish
ments which had formerly opposed
such measures are not likely TO offer
any opposition. Indeed. the interviews
obtained by the London press from rep
resentatives Of the millinery trade
have brought forth some curious state
ments which are diametrically opposed
to those uttered in the same quarters
year ago. Then the trade cited the
Partisan milliners and the demands Of
their own customers. The former,
they said. set the fashion. while the
latter were slaves to 1t. Now they sing
a different tune. Said one fashionable
milllner of the West end;
I'VE think It wicked and shameful
that so many beautiful birds should
be killed and the countries they inhab-
It deprived of them. Very little objec'
tion is urged by our customers against
using the plumage of birds killed for
food. but these customers are discour'
aging the slaughter OF humming birds
and birds OF paradise by steadily re
fusing to purchase hats in whose dec
orative schemes they appear"
You would be surprised" remarked
another milliner, ito know how the
sentiment against the indiscriminatt
slaughter of beautiful birds has de
veloped among our fashionable pa
irons. There are many, of course, wh'

STRANDED IN. PARIS

$4,000 Americans have attended the
passion play at Oberammergau. Furth-
ermore, one must take into considera-
tion the thousands of Americans who
couldn't see tho passion play II they
wanted to.
Every returning steamship now is
crowded to the gunwales, and, conse-
quently, tho number OF stranded
Americans is larger than ever. OF
those who become prisoners, the un-
willing are the tourists who have
failed to engage return passage on
the steamships. Owing TO the gen
eral exodus OF tourists In the autumn
the steamship companies are unable
to accommodate these people who
have trusted to luck to get tickets at
the last moment. Then the money
that was set aside for their passage
goes to pay for their prison fare"
and for begging" cables to friends at
home.
Occasionally one of these unwilling
prisoners degenerates into a willing
prisoner. Hopelessly stranded, the
