attributes HER LONG
LIFE TO sweet DIET
Woman, Ninety, Begins Meals
With Dessert.

Melrose Mass. - Mrs. James Rode
celebrated her ninetieth birthday an
niversary several days ago. She is in
excellent health and attributes this
fact to an astonishing diet that con-
sistS largely of chocolates, buildings.
fruits and other SWeetmeats.
Mrs. Rode was personally conduct
ing the frying of a batch Of five dozen
dOuGhnuts when the reporter called at
her home. While in conversation with
him she ate several hot doughnuts, and
upon being asked if she was troubled
with indigestion she replied that she
had relished dainty foods more in her
old age than when she was young.
She is known as the "spry old lady
Of Melr0se," and every morning during
good weather she takes a walk of two
miles Or more just for a "little eXer-
else" as she terms it. Mrs. Rode is a
jealous worker and exhibited for the
reporters benefit over twenty-five fan
cy woven knit table pieces that she had
completed since last fall. She also as
sists her daughter-in-law. with whom
she lives, in the general homework.
and twice week she dusts all the fur
niture in the house.
Mrs Rode has an excellent appetite.
Every morning she has cake and cot
fee for breakfast, sometimes eating a
little oatmeal. Her daughter-in-law
told the reporter that Mrs. Rode al
ways eats her dessert first and that if
she is hungry she WV eat little meat.
She eats on the average box of chloe
OlateS a week.
Mrs Rode is a fresh air enthusiast
and has not slept in a room with any
of the windows closed for over sixty
years. She is also firm follower of
the 'early to bed and early to rise"
rule, for she retires every evening at Z
o'clock and is up bright and early at 6
o'clock the next morning.

COWS WEAR DRESSES.
Made of Hemp Cloth to Protect Them
From the Cold.

San Francisco. - An authority on
dress and its cut for dairy COWS is a
guest at the ST. Francis, in the person
of Sir Francis Webster of Glasgow, a
wealthy manufacturer Of hemp goods
in Scotland and the owner of a stock
range in Texas embracing 100000
acres and thousands of head Of stock.
Sir Francis COWS are dressed regu-
larly every winter in suits of hemp
cloth made at his own manufacturing
establishment, to protect them from
the cold and snow, minimize the dan
gers from tuberculosis and increase
their daily yield of milk
Each cow has two suits a week.
They are not elaborate dress affairs
by any means, with lingerie and all
that. 1t is q man made dress of one
piece, or simply a coverall blanket that
fits loosely.
This, of course, means added eX-
pense, but the yield of milk during the
cold weather is about 81 per cent
larger than from cows not similarly
protected.

Oldest man in Minnesota, if not in the

AS soon rs he collected his senses he
declined to remain on a hospital cot
and made the nurse fix up a bed for
him on blanket on the floor. where he
found contentment. He also called for
his pipe and tobacco and, because Of
his age, was humored. He smoked
constantly and rapidly grew better, as
it developed that while he had been
bruised and shocked, he had not been
seriously injured.

TAMES WILD DUCKS.
Madison (Wis.) Resident Has Flock
of Nearly 200 of Them.

Madison. Wis.-Wild ducks may be
domesticated and raised on the farm
as we'll as tame ones. The plan has
been tried by J. c. Halpin Of this city
for the past three years with success.
Last fall he had flock of nearly 200,
and when the cold weather came on
they took their regular spin in the
skies and then returned to the yards
The wild duck sells for more than the
tame variety because of the favor of
the meat
The first birds were kept in captivity
by clipping the wings, but the young
ducks are as easily handled as domes-
tic ones.
These domesticated mallards retain
many Of the instincts peculiar to wild
nature. Let one mallard start limping
and in less than ten minutes, unless
something is done to attract attention
elsewhere, a majority will be limping.
