CHEATED DEATH 81 YEARS.

Charles F. Page, sixty-nine, a ma
tive of Deansboro, Oneida county, is
dead, 81 years after his coffin was
bought. Page was a soldier in the
Civil war and was encamped with his
regiment, the One hundred and sew
enteenth New York volunteers, at
Fort Alexander in the fall of 1862,
when he was taken seriously i'll.
When Pages death seemed immi-
nent requisition was made for his
coffin. 1t was brought to camp and
deposited near the tent in which the
sick soldier lay, Then Page began
to get better, and when he learned
about the coffin he declared that he
would not die. He did not until to-
day, when the end took place at Co

THAT CHARM THAT APPEALS
Not at All Hard to Cultivate, and
Most Highly Desirable
Quality in Woman.

"Charm," wrote J. M. Barrie, els
sort of bloom on a woman. If she
has it she doesn't need to have any
thing else-not even education; if
she has it not, it doesn't much mat
ter what else she has,"
No woman is without some pos
sibilities of charm for some persons,
and it is a rare case, indeed, if there
are not certain possibilities for charm
in every one that must be all appeal
ing.
Sympathy and understanding, for
example, are always magnetic. They
are intangible qualities and yet un-
mistakable. They produce that feel
ing that makes one wondrous kind.
They light up plain features, hide
deformities and shed a little glamour
that very often serves to counteract
unlikable qualities.
There is, perhaps, no pleasanter
sounding compliment than that one
is charming" So, to be beautiful
cultivate charm.
Take heed of hints your friends or
even your near enemies drop and
learn something of your readiest
claims to charm and wherein the i'm
pediment is.
You cannot rely altogether on
these reports, but they will serve as a
gauge if you are truthful to your
self and not afraid to analyze them.
1t is easier to cultivate grace and
beauty than it is to cultivate any
thing if you begin from a specific
basis and have clear understanding
of your aim.
If you are large and ponderous
don't inveigle yourself into thinking
that you can successfully cultivate
the kittenish ways of your diminutive
friend. If you are petite don't at
tempt to initiate the long stride or
the mannerisms of tall Brunhilde.
Charm is distinctive and cannot be
initiated. Don't try to create charm.

vate means to improve upon some
thing already begun.

PROFIT IN OSTRICH BREEDING
Are Thousands of the Birds, Pays
Good Dividends.

The largest flock of ostriches in
the world, says the Health Magazine,
is to be found on a ranch IA miles
south of Phoenix, Ariz., where on
1900 acres there can be seen dis
porting at one time $500 birds,
some of which are black Nubians,
eight feet high and worth $4,000
each. This farm started IA years
ago with six pairs of birds, and in
the first six years there we're 500,
The birds are cooped in numbered
ten-acre lots fenced in with woven
wire seven feet high and each bird
wears a numbered tag, SO as to in
sure their being plucked every eight
months. As the plumes are cut from
eight to ten Enclosures a month, each
bird yielding a pound or more of
plumes worth from $50 to $500 a
pound, it can be seen that the ranch
yields a good income. Fifty birds
are kept in each corral and the feath-
ers are graded into lots of 10 stand
ard sizes, according to fineness,
length, width and breadth for my
lady's hat. An ostrich begins to pay
in feathers at eight months old,
though they are not really full grown
until two years, when they give the
best plumes and weigh from three to
four hundred pounds.
Because It Was Underweight.
Under the pure food and drugs act,
ten cases were recently brought
against New York city firm, which
is in the candy business, making a
speciality Of what is known as penny
goods" All the goods were found to
be adulterated. Most of them con-
tanned shellac, and some Of them also
contained arsenic. In every case the
firm pleaded guilty. Most of the can
dies were sold as chocolate candies,
but contained little or none of that
product. These are the goods bought
by small children who have received
a cent or two from parents or friends,
sometimes intended for the missionary
box, but often straying to the candy
shop. In only one of the ten cases
T. T.
case, carrying fine Of $50, was not
for selling to little children as choco-
late candy a mixture containing arse
mic and shellac, but because the pack
age sold to the dealer was marked
five pounds and really contained only
4 pounds and 14% ounces, not enough
poison for the. money! Truly, in the

HAD A RIGHT TO ENJOY EGG
Dogs Ingenuity in Stealing It Excited
Admiration In Woman Who
Watched the Theft.

An interesting dog story is told by
a lady correspondent from Hemp
stead, London. She writes: I was
waiting my turn to be served in a
provision shop the other day, when
my attention was drawn to a some
what bedraggled and hungry-looking
rough-haired terrier, which was gaz-
ing at an attractive-looking box of
eggs. He had the determined look
of one about to carry out some we'll
planned act of daring. Very care
fully indeed did he examine all the
eggs, whilst I remained motionless.
Then, with a step backward and a
steady look at the shopman, making
quite sure he was much too busy
to be interested in the affairs of a
harmless little doggie, he boldly
chose one of the largest eggs, and
without breaking it, or even moving
any of the others, rolled it into his
mouth. By this time my interest
was fully aroused and I gave chase.
l was soon rewarded by seeing him
creep through some ratings to a
patch of grass, and then, with look
of complete satisfaction, roll out the
egg, very neatly break off the top and
lick out the contents with the keen
pleasure of the true epicurean!

MOVED HEARTS OF sAvAGEs
Inspiriting Picture of the Past Is That
Which Tells of Little
Molly Smead.

Many strange things happened
near South Radley, Mass, during the
French and Indian war. The move
ments of the Indians were SO silent
and stealthy that the unsuspecting
inhabitants often fell into ambush
through mere carelessness. Miss So
phie E. Eastman tells in her book,
"In Old South Hadley," of a little
girl, named Molly Smead, who was
playing game of tag, when she was
snatched by lurking Indian, and
carried away into captivity.
The inhabitants of the Indian vii
lage demanded that the child should
run the gauntlet. An old Indian
who could speak English told her of
the ordeal before her, and added, in a
whisper, "Sing and dance all the
way, and they not whip you so
much"
AT the appointed time all the men,
women and children faced one anoth-
er, in two long lines, between which
the child must pass. Each held a
plant rod with which to strike her
as she ran. Molly, singing in her
sweetest voice, went dancing gaily
down the line, while the Indians
stood listening in motionless sur
prise. One old woman gave her a
singing blow, but she did not inter-
rupt her song for an instant.
Meantime, the Connecticut troops
had taken young Indian girl pris-
oner, and the governor of that colony
offered her in exchange for Molly
Smead. At first the red men would
not consent to it; but after large
sum of money had been added the
bargain was made, and Molly re-
turned to her home in safety.-

WORLDS LARGEST IRON MINE
Enormous Supply of Rich Ore is Lo-

The richest and probably the largest
iron ore mine in the world is located
at Kiruna, Lapland in latitude 681s de-
grees north, which is about the same
as the northernmost boundary of
Alaska. The climate is somewhat
milder than in Alaska, and these
mines are worked the year around.
About 1000 men are employed and
the equipment is all of the most mod
ern machinery obtainable. Machine
tools for the repair shop, air COM
pressors, and rock drills, and sew
eral of the largest steam and electric
shovels are of American make. The
plant is at present operated by steam
power, the coal supply coming from
England and Spitzbergen, but the
electrification of the mines is in
progress, and this power will be used
exclusively as soon as the new power
plant of the state of Sweden, now
under construction at Porjus Falls,
is completed. The transmission line
Is completed and 1t is expected that
the power station will be ready to de-
liver current early in 1914. One hun.
dred and fifty thousand horsepower
will be the capacity of this station,
and it will be transmitted over a dis
lance of $50 miles. The state railway
between Kiruna and Narvik is being
electrified and will be operated from
this station. The ore is shipped from
Kiruna to Narvik on the Norwegian
coast by rail, and from there by water
to Germany, a small percentage find
ing its way to other countries.
