THE BEAVERS MEMORY.

Memory handed down through 80
generations is one of the perplexing
facts of science. The beaver -four
ished along French rivers until
killed off for its fur, but is now
known only in about a dozen of its
villages on the Rhone near Avignon.
For three centuries these villages
have had no trees to cut down for
dams. The animals were compelled
to adopt a new mode of life, and
have burrowed in the banks, shaping
mud with their tails as usual. Re-
Gently some of them were taken by
Polish count to forests on his es-
tates. Very strangely, they resumed
the habits dropped three centuries
before they were born, and at once
began cutting trees and building
dams.

RULES FOR LONGEVITY.

Josiah Zeitlin, said to have been
Brooklyn's oldest citizen, is dead at
the age Of 105 years. He was a
child in Moscow when the Russians
burned that city at the advance of
Napoleon, and when the United
States and England were engaged in
their second conflict.
He was born in 1904 in LODI,
Poland He retired from business
in Moscow 80 years ago and came to
this country soon after He leaves
three sons. the oiS>st Of whom is
seventy-six years old, and IS grand
children.
His rules for longevity were:
"Don't worry. Never be in hur-
ry. Don't eat what You call quick
lunches. Take but little meat, es-
pecially i'll early life. Sleep eight
hours a day. Never fool with doc
tors, and don't 90 into a drug store

Operates Dredges for Pumping Coal
and Sand From the River
Bottom.

Prominent as the oldest member
of the old Ross family of Buena Wis.,
ia, along the Susquehanna river, a
suburb of Harrisburg, is Ellen Ross,
who, although in her SEVENTEEN year,
carries OH the unique business
among women Of this, SECTION that
of digging or pumping sand and
coal from the bed Of the. Susque-
hanna river and disposing Of it as
fuel and building material.
The supply is unlimited and for
years the watermen along the place
where the Lykens valley joins the
Susquehanna in the north to a point
away below Harrisburg have main
tanned fleets of boats with steam
pumps to get out the buckwheat
coal that lodges by thousands OF
tons On bars and behind rocks and
the sand that forms in the bed of
the river and is considered un-
eqnaled for building purposes.
1t was such an unusual business
for a woman to engage in that her
neighbors laughed and predicted
that she would soon grow tired of it,
says a correspondent of the Balti-
more News. But they didn't know
Mrs. Ross. She went at the bust
ness with vim and energy and has
kept at it ever since.
Every morning, when conditions
are favorable, the directs her force
Of fifteen men to the spots where
coal and sand ara to be had, and
from time to time visits them to see
that everything is all right-that
the men are working the pumps in
good condition and the stuff is be-
ing taken ashore and unloaded for
the market.
Despite her age she keeps business
going, and undoubtedly holds the
record as the most remarkable bust
ness woman in Pennsylvania.

WHAT SUCCESS REALLY is
Is It Just Reaching the Standard, or
Beating Someone to Ii That
Counts?

Suppose all of Harrimans trans
ccndent genius had been expended in
building up the best railroad system
that could be made, in yanquishing
time and space, and demonstrating
what could be accomplished by the
indomitable will and purpose and
untiring effort Of the strong man.
Mightn't the net result have been
something finer and better than Har-
riman ever attained, and mightn't
he have gone from earth with some
finer memory to take with him Of
the world he had lived in than the
thought that he had met Stuyvesant
Fish and fought him and beaten
him? 'NIust a game be played for
the sake Of pelf?' as Browning once
asked. Can't our boys find some
thing else to inspire them than the
hope Of beating another boy? If
boy can ride his horse over the
fences, and swim across the lake.
and run swiftly, and hit the mark,
and feel his pulse beat strong and
true, and his nerves and muscles un-
der sure control, does it make him
any more the master of the world
about him that he can beat some
other boy? Is it reaching the stand
ard, or beating some one to it, that
really counts :-McCrcady Sykes, in
Everybody's.

THE ONLY WAY
Many Annapolis Citizens Have Dis
covered if.

Just what to do when the kidneys are
affected, is a question that concerns both
young and old. Weak kidneys neg
lected in childhood lead to lifelong suf-
fering. People of advanced years, with
less vitality, suffer doubly. In youth
or age, languor, backache, urinary ir-
regularity, dizziness and nervousness
make life burden.
There is one remedy that acts directly
on the kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills
owe their world wide fame TO the fac
that they have cured thousands of cases
of sick kidneys and cured them per
manently. Follow the example of this
Annapolis citizen.
John 7. Wells, 149 Main St, Annap

ABOUT CURING MEAT
PROCESS A MYSTERY TO MOST
CITY HousEKEEPERs.
cood-Sized Piece Of Meat May Be
Bought Advantageously and
corned-Plckling and Dry
ing Process Explained.

The method of keeping meats the
year around is well known TO farmers
wives. but q mystery to most city
housekeepers. A good-sized piece OF
meat may be bought advantageously
and corned, after cutting off portion
to be used in its fresh state. The
rump is best to corn. Beef tongue,
fresh ham, veal or mutton are excel
lent when corned.
A pickle for corning meat in small
quantities is made as follows: Four
pounds of coarse salt, eight quarts
of water, two pounds of brown sugar,
one-half pound OF saltpeter; stir until
salt and sugar are dissolved; then
boil and skim, letting the mixture
become cold before pouring over the
meat. Turn the meat in the pickle
every day for a week, which will give
1t a fine color and flavor. During
the summer this pickle may be boiled
over with an addition Of one cup Of
salt and one cup Of brown sugar TO
one quart Of water, when 1t will keep
sweet for several weeks. A plate or
clean fiat stone must be used to keep
the meat beneath the pickle
A large beef tongue will have to
be kept in the pickle fourteen days
before it is ready for use.
Dried Beef.-Select round OF beef
and divide in two parts through the
middle, rejecting the bone. For
twelve pounds of meat allow one-half
pound of fine salt, onequarter ounce
of pulverized saltpeter, and one-half
pound OF brown sugar. Rub this mix
ture into the meat every morning I'M
til it is all used up. At the end of
this time hang up in the smokehc use
for two weeks to dry. An excess OF
smoke will ruin the flavor.
Few people in the city have
smokehouse, and this method will be
found n very good substitute. Drive
nails around the top of a tight b"rrel.
fill an iron pan or pail half full of
ashes, build a fire on top OF these.
Hang the meat by a stout twine on
the nails, place a board over the top
of the barrel, and cover tightly with
an old blanket. This method has been
tried in the back yard OF a city resi-
dence and found practical for smoking
two hams, two pieces Of beef, and two
sausages.
If two or three families will club
together and buy their meat whole
sale at one of the packing houses they
will find that their meat bills will be
about one-third what it usually costs.

Russo-Japanese war.

said, 'in those troubled days when 1t
was pretty certain Russia and Japan
would have TO fight, Russian and a
Japanese met at dance.
Politely enough the two men dis.
cussed the coming war, and then, as
they were about to part, the Russian
said:
"I won't bid you goodby, but au
reyoir. I'll soon be in Tokyo, you
know, drinking your health in cham
payne
"Oh,' said the japanese, shaking
his head and smiling, I'm afraid my
