COMPLETING THE ORDER.

A dear little old lady, who has no idea at all that she is old, made q discovery the other day. She oyer heard her grand-nephew telling an- other young man something about the excellence of the free lunch" served at a certain big New York hotel. In the innocence of her per 1ectly dear old sold she put the in- formation down in her memory for future reference.
 Soon after that she happened to be attending a concert at this same hotel, and the party-herself, her nephew and niece-went to the ten room later for bit of rcfreshmeni The tea was ordered, and then the dear little old lady looked at the waiter and with a sweet, old-fash- toned smile and a suggestion of tri- umph in her manner, said:
 And you may bring us also some of the free lunch"

4 REBOUND CAT.

Tip, giant cat, owned by Mrs. o. r. Duncan of this city, is said to be the largest cat in the United States and Canada. Tip is closely followed in the race for weight honors by his brother, Tot, who weighs 20 pounds. three pounds less than the other cat The cats are eight years old. Tip is 90 inches long from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail and his neck is 5I3 there's in circumference.
 Every day each eat consumes 1l5 pounds of round steak and pirt of milk. How the cats came to grow so large is mystery even to the owner. She said they had received the same care as other animals of this kind.-South Bend Cor. Indi- annapolis News.

WHO IS THE MOST GENEROUS
Greatest Living Phllanthroplst, by Bible Standard, May Be w. w.
 Smith of Poughkeepsie.

Who is the greatest living philan- thropist? By the standard estab- lished in the incident related by St. Mark, when Jesus sat over against the treassTy and beheld how the people cast money into it, and many that were rich cast in much, but the poor widow who threw in farthing contributed most of all, the greatest living philanthropist may not be easy to identify. Mir. Carnegie is not he, nor Mir. Rockefeller; perhaps not ever Dr. Pearsons, though he has reduced h;s possessions to an amount estimated as requisite to take care of him in no more than reasonable comfort for the rest of his days. It is said that Poughkcep- sie's philanthropist, Mr. William W. Smith, in proportion to his income, gives in public benevolence more than any other person in the land.
 A brief item telling of a gift of $40,000 to the Old Ladies' home notes that this brings Mir. Smiths benefactions for the current year to $80,000, and for the few years he has been practicing systematized distribution to more than half million. MT. Smith seems further entitled to peculiar distinction for his coinage of the phrase, "vestibule of heaven," as applicable to old la- dies homes.

EXTENDING THE SPAN OF LIFE
Exercise, Frech Air and Good Plain Foods Win Do Wonders With
 Any Man.

While the death rate of persons under forty years of ace has marked ly decreased since 1880, the death rate of persons over forty years of age has markedly increased.
 Why? One reason, the New York Evening Mail remarks, is that science has done comparatively lit- tie against the noncommunicable dis eases. Then medical science has nursed along weak consultations which in earlier periods wor,d ave sUccumbed in infancy or ado Q, and has carried them ao,,.s } boundary of middle ace. \ i'rl. reason, of course, is the increas 'ng complexitv of life, wh.lh brings heavier burdens and stresses and oyerwhelms some persons as soon as the impetus of their youthful vital - ty is spent. A fourth reason is that people do not replenish this vitality and prepare for the problems of mid dle life:
 There is really nothipg cheaper than the attainment and preserva- ton of good health. Frc3h air and sleep are natures free gifts, and
 
 bodily activity normal impulse of the blood, while it costs less to eat frugallv than to overeat.

CHINA IN TRANSITION.

A commonplace idea is that China is passing through a period of trans ition. To what goal that process may ultimately conduct her no wise man will venture to predict. But while the process lasts the equilib- rum of this vast and ancient em- pire seems to be peculiarly unstable. A very slight cause might overset it, and the consequences of such an oyerturn to the peace of the world would almost certainly be of an ex- ceedingiy serious kind. Rus sia, Ye trust and believe, perceivea the dangers of such 3 eatastrophc '9nd lie ease with which it might be caused not less clearly, and there in, we are satisfied, Is our best as- suranee that she will not push mat ters with China to an extremity save uron the weighticst and the most scrione ~EorAa. -I.0a1on Times.

The Perfect Laxative
 For Elderly People

vonfb i,, mas srs us ateracelons @ no iess man But it is this very life of rest without sufficient exercise that brings with it those disorders that arise from in activity. Chief of these are a chronic. persistent constipation
 Most elderly people are troubled in this way, with accompanying symptoms of belching, drowsiness after eating headaches and general lassitude Ere quently there is difficulty of digesting even light food. Much mental trouble ensues, as it is hard to find suitable remedy. First of all the advice may be given that elderly people should not use salts, cathartic pills or powders. waters or any of the more violent purgatives. What they need, women as well as men, is a mild laxative tonic, one that is pleasant to take and yet acts without griping.

ASHLAND BIRDS WORK
: AT WILMINGTON RACES

At the Delaware Horse Show >AssO-
citation, meeting held last Friday, at
Wilmington, the only split heat race
Of the afternoon produced the real ex.
citement Of the program. Foote Prince
14l, who was well driven by Earl
PHmsn. Of Trenton, N. j., won the
first and second heats, but in q hard
drive to the wire Ashland Bird. piloted
by Herman Tyson, had bit the better
Of 1t in the third heat, and although,
for some reason Tyson did not care for
the heat, he got it, and won the fourth
in considerably slower time. with FoOte
Prince "lsying up" PitmsD, who was
driving FoOte Prince, was warned to
try for the final heat, and took the lead
at the turn, never being headed. Ash-
land Bird though, was making q great
drive at the head OF the stretch and in
the third and fourth heats would have
bested FOOte Prince IN the final heat
but for his running into another sulky
wheel and throwing Tyson from sulky.
Those who witnessed the last three
heats were believers in the ability Of
Ashland Bird to win the race, and as
well, in the ability Of Mr.. Tyson to pilot
this favOrite Of the turf to victory ; and
some very sharp criticism was made
against the lack Of turf courtesy &C.
corded Mr.. Tyson by the other drivers
in the race, which was direct cause Of
Ashland Bird losing the fifth heat
which would have awarded him fret
money instead Of second money in the
race.
