Curious AImshouse.

The most curious almshouse is Eng
land is st. Mary's Hospital as Chich-
ester. There eight old ladies live ac-
tually in the church, which is a fine
old building, dating from 1850. 1t was
originally a monastery, but when
Queen Elizabeth came to visit there
she turned it into an almshouse, to
endure as long as almshouses exist.
The old ladies have two neat little
rooms each down the sides of the
main church, with windows looking
out on the garden. They have each
coal supply, kitchen range, water
and gas. At one end of the church
is the chapel, where daily services are
held. The choir stalls are beauti-
fully carved old oak, the original
seats that the monks used. The church
stands in a quiet little square.-Ex-

ON HER ANNUAL RAMPAGE
One Day of the Whole Year When
Hard Worker of the Family
Stops Work.

A meek little woman lives near At
Gibson. She does her duty by her
family 364 days out of the year, but
on the other day she goes on the RAM
page. Instead Of getting up at 5 80
in the morning, hurrying into her
clothes, getting breakfast, doing the
dishes, cleaning up the house, feed
ing the chickens, skimming the
cream, putting away the milk, get
ting supper, doing the dishes, put
ting away the milk, sewing and 60

begins by staying in bed until some
one in the family gets breakfast on
the table, says the Atchison Globe.
Then, dressed and ready to go down
town, she appears and says, evidently
to her man folks II would like a
horse and buggy today
The man folks do not sa; a word

rampage. They hitch up the family

buggy and goes into the house and

MANY FAST TRoTTERs ARE GONE
Thirty-eieht Died in 1914, Including
Some Famous Ones.

Washington, G. H., Ohio.-Were 1t
not for the fact that there are lots CT
others just as good or little better
coming on right along, the loss by
death of 38 trotters with marks better
than 2:17, and 46 PAGERS with records
of 2:15 or better during the year 1914,
would appear as a startling loss to
light harness racing. OF course all
good race horses must die sooner or
later, but had such a thing as tlIis
occurred a few years ago in single
year it would have meant much more
to the racing game than it does today.
The fastest trotter in the 1914 death
list is Colorado E., (2:05%) J, and the
foremost PAGER was Sir r (2:03k).
In the list are many great race horses,
one of the most famous and popular
of which was Effie Powers (2:08 1-8).
A lot of fellows would go into the
business of driving race horses if they
were convinced that they could pro-
duce as great a record as Ed. Geers
has In the last 25 years--from 1890
to 1915-this veteran driver has won
$1,178,452 in races, his greatest harvest
being in 1902, when he raked in $116,-
$40. Last season he had to be salts
fed with only $45,3S5. There are
very few Ed Geers.

BEST AGE FOR MATRIM0NY
Pennsylvania Health Commissioner
Gives Advice on Subject of Ex-
treme Importance.

DR.. S4muel Dixon, health commits
sioner Of Pennsylvania, in an official
bulletin, gives the following advice
to those about to marry:
"First, a man should not marry
unless into a family with history
of reasonable longevity, free from
hereditary disease. He should not
marry a woman advanced in life, del
icate, feeble or afflicted with any in
herited deformity. The age most
proper for women in this climate is
nineteen or twenty years and for
men twenty-four or twenty-five years.
Women of nervous temperament,
those who are extremely irritable,
hysterical, subject to convulsions, or
to epilepsy from organic disease,
ought to avoid matrilnony,
''In this country marriages before
the ages Of twenty-five and nineteen
respectively are contraindicated, be-
cause, as a rule, previous to these pc
riods Of life, the body is not fully
developed, the different functions are
not perfect, and any offspring devel-
oped by them in their immature con-
dition must be deficient in vital
power"

CROWDS THRILLED
BY SKI JUMPERS
Professional Does FIip-FIop in Air
Wisconsin Star Wins in Main

Rocketing from the top of a mist
crowned scaffold, fifty of the most
daredevil ski leapers of the middle
west rode the air over Ironwood Hill
at Cary, H., in the annual tournament
cf the Norge Ski Club of Chicago.
Over 1900 admirers of the thrilling
Scandinavian sport stood ankle deep in
snow and water during the meet and
every one of them was thoroughly
drenched by a cold rain and sleet that
fell through the afternoon.
Although the weather conditions
were unfavorable to spectators the
ski pilots did not seem to mind it. The
slide was put into condition with pack
ed snow and the hill was covered with
something that might have passed
for snow, but was slush
Not since the international meet
when Ragnar Omtvedt established
his worlds record of 1872 feet have
so many standing flights of over 100
feet been recorded. "Ragtime," as
Omtvedt is now known, did not come
up to expectations and failed to ap-
proach his old mark On his final
jump he covered 115 feet, but fell at
the foot of the hill and strained his
right hip, which he injured in the re-
cent Mount Horeb, Wis, meet.
Probably the most thrilling exhi-
bition OF the day was a somersault
on skis by Axel Henricksen, a pro-
fessional mount. He shot the chutes
and just at the take-off turned COM
pletely over, speeding down the hill
in perfect form.
Barney Reilley, the Irish Norwegian,
was given a good hand every time he
hoped" Reilley is a railroad fireman
In the summertime and a ski jumper
in winter
Outjumping all of the amateur ski
ers by more than ten feet, Christ Jel-
lum, a ChicagOian, took first lEOnors in
the amateur division of the ski tourna-
ment, scoring 242 1-3 points. Lars
Haugen of Chippewa Falls, Wis, cap
tured first prize in the professional
events with 230 1-3 points
Haugen jumped 125 feet the first at
tempt and 127 feet the second.
Coming down the giant slide, like
human bullets shot out from a giant
mortar of mist and then describing
a graceful curve to the steep hill be-
low, the jumpers presented a pretty
picture The mist and the rain often
hid the top of the slope from the spec
tators at the foot of the hill, and many
tins the first glimpse they got of the
rider was when he rose up from the
take-off

ITS FISH, SNAKE OR A LIZARD
Resembles a Four-Cornered Kite and
Breathes Through Its GiIIs.

Resembles a Four-Cornered Kite and
Breathes Through Its GiIs.
Bicknell, Ind.-A strange cceature,
presenting anatomical characteristics
which might be attributed to fish,
snake or lizard, has been placed Oh
exhibition in a business house here.
No one has found name that seems
to fit the animal, or reptile, which
was caught by Grant Hooper and Carl
York, fishermen.
The body Of the creature is twelve
inches long, and in shape resembles
the old-fashioned four-cornered dart
kite. The head, in form, is like a
snakes, but the resemblance ends
there, for four sharp tusks protrude
from the mouth. Apparently the crea-
ture breathes through gills similar to
those of a fish. The horns and ears,
which follow closely the form of the
human ear, give a peculiar appearance
to the head. The skin or hide is black
and white in color.

sNEEZED OUT 4 WAR SOUVENIR
Leaden PeIet Man Had Carried Since
the Hot Time at Gettysburg.

Newton, n. C.-After carrying bull
let in his head for fifty years, or ever
since the battle of Gettysburg, Calvin
Cook, a Confederate soldier living in
Catawaba County, N. c., has sneezed
from his nose a leaden pellet common
Iy called "buckshot" He was wounded
in the head at Gettysburg and event
ually recovered from the wound only
to be troubled many years by what
was designated as some sort of growth
in his nasal passages. During a recent
sneezing fit he "blew" his nose with
uncommon vigCr and out rolled his
souvenir of the greatest battle of the
Civil War. His nasal trouble vanished
when the growth" rolled out.

No "smoke of Battle Now.

One of the marked features of the
European conflict that distinguish it
from the wars of the past is the alb
sence of smoke on the firing line. Ow-
ing TO the use of smokeless powder,
no smoke is made when a rifle is dis
charged, while the heaviest artillery
throws off nothing more than thin
mist that is invisible hundred yards
away and disappears within few sec
onds after the gun is fired. Only
when shrapnel or a shell explodes in
the enemy's line is there anything Wis
ible in the way of smoke, the whole
purpose being to conceal the position
of the guns throwing the projectiles
while making the points where the
projectiles explode clearly visible. The
expression, the smoke of battle" so
faithfully descriptive of the wars OF
the past, has little meaning when ap-
piled to a modern war.-Popular. Me.

COULD DO NOTHING MORE
Captains Responsibility for the Safety
Of His Passengers Had Been
Automatically Ended.

The dangers of travel by sea at this
time have played havoc with the
nerves of timid passengers.
Early one morning recently there
was considerable commotion on the
decks of coastwise vessel plying be-
tween Savannah and Baltimore, when
a scantily clad man hurried from his
stateroom and dashed toward the up
per deck. On the way he ran into the
captain of the vessel.
What's the matter, captain?" he
managed to gasp. Have we been tor
pedoed?"
Calm yourself, my dear sir, and be
prepared for the worst" answered the
official.
"Oh, don't tell me we're going
down." moaned the other. Quick,
where are the life preservers?"
They wouldn't be of any service at
this stage" explained the captain.
Too late?" quavered the despairing
passenger
Yes" said the captain, very SOL
emnly. We've done all we can for
you. You'll have to look out for your
self from now on. You see, we've just
tied up to the dock"
