AN UMBRELLA TAIL.
1t Serves Many Purposes For the
South American Anteater.

South American Anteater.
One of the old natural history stories
that have been only half believed is that
the South American anteater uses its
great bushy tail as an umbrella when
ever it takes its walks abroad in a
shower The story is partly true. And
the tail has other excellent uses. as one
might suppose of so extraordinary an
appendage, for perhaps no other ami
NAL of the woods has so much tail in
proportion TO body.
The tail is like a huge plume, but
differs from the feather and from such
fiat, feather-like tails as form the rud-
ders and balancing poles of the SPUR
rels in having its hairs arranged in
two enormous fringes along the Upper
and under surfaces of the tail-not
along the sides of it.
The benefit of this arrangement il
that when the anteater lies down at
rest. with his tail bent sidewise, as is
his won't the long hairs of the tail
completely cover the body like n cloak
or umbrella and shed the rain like 4
sloping thatch. The hairy covering is
also useful in keeping away trouble
some or dangerous insects, and its dull
gray tint harmonizes so we'll with the
lights and shadows OF the forest that it

WAS 1ot YEARS OLD
Mrs. Eliza Brown Who Died in Rut-
land Last Friday

Rutland, March 2Sth.-Born during
the second war with the British and
while the Revolution was living
memory and not a mere tradition,
Mrs. Eliza Littlefeld Brown, who
passed her Tooth birthday Septem-
Der 70, 1913, died at her home on the
corner of West and Court streets,
yesterday morning at 5.45 o'clock af-
ter long illness. She had been a
resident of this city for 81 years and
was born in the little town of Andov-
er, being one of family of IL chill
dren, all of whom lived to be between
the ages of so and 80 years, except
two who died in infancy. She was
the daughter of Levi and Jemina
Bragg Littlefield, both coming Of
sturdy Revolutionary stock. Her
grandfather, Alexander Bragg, and
an uncle, Simeon Littletield, both
went through the war for Indepen-
dence.
Mrs. Brown was the last surviving
member of large family of brothers
and sisters, and comes of a family re
markable for longevity, but so far as
known she was the first of that fam
lily to attain the patriarchal age of
100.
While Mrs. Browns memory was
failing her and she had been confined
TO her bed for some time, she retain
ed almost perfect use of some of her
faculties until the last few months of
her illness.
An unusual feature of the centen-
arian's life story is that of her 100
years, 81 had been passed in Rutland
or its immediate vicinity and so
years at her present home, where she
went to live upon her marriage to
Oscar Brown. She had lived during
the last years of her life with her
step-daughter. Miss Helen E. Brown.
Among her other distinctions Mrs.
Brown was the oldest living member
of the local Congregational church
and until she was nearly 80 years old
attended services there regularly.
She came to Rutland when three
years old with her parents, in the
days of spinning wheels and stage
coaches and had among her priced
possessions, specimens OF home-spun
cloth made with home-spun thread
and colored by a household process
known to the housewives of that day.
She received her education in the
district schools, and in school for
young women conducted on South
Main street. She later taught in a
district school in the northern part
of what is now Rutland, and was
choir singer in the Congregational
church. Her first day in church was
in the "Old Meeting House" on North
Main street. where the residence of
DR. n. J. Delehanty now stands. In
her girlhood days Merchants row was
COW path. Main street was the old
stage road to Boston and West street
was the principal thoroughfare.
