Ho wns an cntluiHlofltJc wheel man, and had been riding for ten years, hul had contracted (he habit of riding with IiIh body bent over the handle-bar, tho charactorlHtlc attitude of the "scorcher." So It kccium the jHirulclouH habit of "scorching" Is dnngerous to tho rider as well as to the people who hap pen to get in tho .way of his rushing wheel. It is a practice, however, usu ally confined to younger people than this lawyer, who wa -10 yeiirs of age, and his fate may beau indication that 40 is the limit of the 'HcorehcrV life that after that age he cannot endure the strain and the unnatural position , required for fcatH of rapid speed on the ' bicycle. I Duiuxo tho year just closed a news- i paper tried to keep a record of all peo- I pie reported to have died In the United States at tho age of 100. Two-thirds of these wore women, nil but four be ing white women. Of the colored cen tenarians there weie 13 men. The old est person to dlo was a colored man, who wm 125. A while man died at St. Louis who had claimed to be 110, but there was no proof that he was over 1U1. JSven at that age, however, he was the oldest white man to die during 1!'.)j. Tiie oldest white woman was i20. There were 14 people whoso ages ranged from 110 to 125. A STitANdB case of pitiable halluci nation occurred at Klysburg, l'u., re cently. Miss Cclla llothcrmcl labors under the delusion tltat she is a second Virgin Mary. On Christmas Miss Holh crmel took some bed clothing and pro visions and sought, a manger, where she believed she would give birth to a sec ond Messiah. She was not found until some days after, and had to be dragged from the stable where sho had sought shelter. AvaUBTA, unlike some other cities in Maine, obeys the laws passed by the legislature of "l8!)5 making it compul sory for tho municipal ollicers in every city and town to hold an inquest on ., . .. , ., , , A every fire that occurs. It s tier duty ' iw n.i..i.i. mm m i ...unai'n, mill nil, tuu obliged to make a report to tho city or towu clerk of their investigation. In .1 I m 1 . .. llllttintiKiiM .....I . I .. . . ...... ' A Houi.Ti.N (Me.) church-goer thinks it Is a high recommendation for church going people that his watch and chain, which he dropped in his pew. were found there two dny later. FnoM competent authority we learn that not more than one criminal in 1,000 sentenced for life, or 0!) years, by trio courts of the United States serves more than 20 years. Tm: following is u scientific descrip tion of what happens when you light a lire: The phosphorus on a match is raised by friction to a temperature of 151' degrees Fahrenheit, at which It ig nite.. It raises the temperature of the sulphur, if It be a sulphur match, to fOO degrees, when tho sulphur begins to burn. The sulphur raises the heat to H00 degrees, when tho wood takes up tho work nnd produces i temperature of 1,000 degrees, at which the coal ig nites. And all this is accomplished by o single Btrokc of tho hand. A Calu'oiinia correspondent of the Chicago Chronicle has made a most ex traonnary discovery in tho Sierra Ne vnda mountains in Humboldt valley. It la a pool of natural chicken soup all ready to bo dipped up and eaten. They havo everything but wood nnd water In the great and glorious "gold en" state. Katk Shelley, the heroine of the. Moingona bridge, Is in Des Moines, and is said to bo an applicant for n position with tho legislature. It has been 15 wars since tho girl crawled across the breaking bridge to save a train, and hhe ha-s grown to womanhood, but her brave action will never be forgotten. TiiKmc is a family living near Macon, Ga., In which there has not been a death for 50 years. The head of tho family In 73 years of ago and his wife is 72. They celebrated their golden wedding lecontly, nnd their teu children and 21 of their 22 grandchildren were pres ent. It Is reported that the Germans who recently mndo henvy purchases of American apples, intend to use this fruit In tho manufacture of chain jiagno by an entirely new and secret process. Thk town clock at holbyllle, 111., recording to a local exchange, must liuve been corrupted by crap shooters. It refuses to strike any horn's except i-even or eleven. A Costly Confession. It was a costly slatemcuf; In a pc cunlary sense, which a lady made In :i religious meeting at WclIllcuL, Neb. Mrs. Jane Houston, the bank presldent'ii wife, lout diamonds and other jewelry (he other night valued at $50,000. Mort Oreen,whom the authorities were shad owing as a dangerous suspect, dropped into tho Free Methodist revival meet ing in time to hear Mrs. Houston ex plaining, In giving her "experience," that she had just discarded her dia monds and other jewelry, since hIic thought It ungodly wear them. She 'jedd she had left all of her finery on her dresser when she left her houso for church. Green, It Is said, left tho church, broke into tho Houston resi dence and found that she had told tho truth. He took everything in sight, and left a note saying he was glad ho could remove temptation from the good wom an. The authorities were after him. Ink Iiuh lately proved itself to be n veritable poison. What is now done In the press to Incite nations one against t hoother Is without preccden tin modem history. Notwithstanding that every day brings new facts to light, showing It to bo tho earnest wish In all respon sible quarters to reduce the strain and to soothe down feelings, the press con tinues to do it utmost to stir them up again and to bring them to boiling point. . "I am glad to see that," says the editor of the London News, "In face of the excitement reported to prevail In England, the German press, with few exceptions, keeps quiet, evidently in order not to intensify by indiscreet utterances the outburst springing from a violated scn.se of national honor in England. It is to be hoped that thle attitude will be maintained, for only so will it bo possible to avoid the gravest consequences." A mtti.i: ten-year-old girl stood near an uptown hotel in Washington the ot her day soliciting alms. In her hand she had a badly soiled note, which she offered to each passer-by, but most of them were too busy to read it, and con tented themselves with dropping a Riuull coin in her outstretched palm. VI. ...II.. ti 1w. .,..,, !.,.! .,1,1 ...... .1 , ' " """-"""" " . k tool: tho note and read it. His hand , , ! MHUIIIM11 i 1 Villi 114t JJWUIVUl't illlll ho simply said: "Very reinurkabl'!," and passed on. The note read: "To the Charitable: The bearer is a widow with four small children to support nnd is very destitute. A few cents may save her from starvation." Many cities, towns and counties in tho northwest have been scaling down the salaries of public eniployesVuring tho past year. The reductions havo been especially notable in the state of Washington. Seattle, Tncoma, Pendle ton, North Yakiina, Walla Walla and many other cities have made substan tial cuts in tho pay of oilicials. The economies have been necessary in or der to keep tho expenses of tho towns within their incomes. There is less of the boom character about tho north west now than formerly. About four per cent, of the prisoners in the Arkansas state penitentiary ore said to havo secaped during the 12 months ending with last October. The total of prisoners in tho penitentiary during tho year was 1,450, and of these 57 escaped, and 302 were discharged. During October four escaped, and 19 were discharged. Hiovclirts in Tacomo, Wash., have petitioned tho city council to impose a tax of one dollar a year on bicycles, and to devote the fund thus raised to laying out and maintaining a certain road in the city as a bicycle path. The council has agreed to the proposition. Tun largest tree ever known in the northwestern woods was out in Ocon to county, Wis., recently. t, was near ly 100 feet high, seven feet two inches though at the base, and cut six 10 foot logs, scaling over 8,500 foot. The pine was worth $80 when cut into logs. The revival of business has reached Sedan, Kan., nnd a southwestern news paper notes an Improvement In the horse market In that town, reporting that a local trader, who last week traded one chicken for one horse, now holds one horse for two chickens. Inihanh at a rnncheria in California have formed a bicycle club. All ride wheels, Irrespective of njje or sex. They havo spent all the money they earned picking hops in learning to ride. "Dime novels must go," Is the motto of tho promoters of a new movement instituted by tho Tublic Education as sociation of New York. Dime novels do go. That's what the publishers think, anyway. The directors of the only Philadel phia street railroad whoso "men did not strike havo voted a Christmas present of $2,500 to the faithful employes. Work In Not Dangorotifl. Multitudes arc hurried to their gi aves before their time, and It Is haste rather than steady, continuous labor of body or mind which drives them there. "Studying too hard," "over worked," are terms which wo know nell, and many deaths are attributed to them. Trouble certainly kills, cor rectly observes the New York Ledger, but as regards study, It is a very rare thing for a man to think himself to death, unless his thoughts run always in a morbid nnd distressing groove. Study is a bliss to the student; he would ratlijer study tlmn cat. The greatest students in moral philosophy and divinity have lhcd long and, worked clllcicntly to fourscore nnd more. Thought Is to the brain what exercise is to the physical constitution. M.cn may study hard, and after 50 years of ago may devote as much as five, ten or even more hours to their labors with no evil effects. If the studies are pleasurablo they promote the general well-being of the system, both physical and mental, but and this is an im portant point sufficient sleep must al ways bo obtained, and a regular supply of simple and nourishing foods. Many of our literary men die, itistruc, prem aturely not, however, from overstudy, but from depressing mental conditions and Irregular or excessive eating and drinking. John Feiihy, of Morris, 111., has begun an action in the courts which bfds fait to become as sensational as tho cele brated Iowa calf case, in which thou sands of dollars have been sunk in liti gation overan eight-dollar heifer. Fer ry had a cow killed on the railway tracks at Morris in 1894. He sued the railway, and after a tedious trial got a verdict for $55. An appeal was taken, and recently tho case was heard In the county court, ending In a disagreement of the jury. Now it is set for rehearing at the next term of court. In the meantime lawyers are drawing fat fees, and the court costs are being taxed up against tho litigants. The cow was xorth $40, while the expenses of the last trial alone were considerably ovci $100. A m:ron.tr:r burglar, who has no fur ther use for tho knowledge himself, says there are three things a night thief dreads. One is a baby, the second a little whiffet dog that can. sleep with ho.th eyes open and barks when a needle tails and the third is a newspaper. Al most always the paper rattles or cracks when a foot, touches it. Unless a bur glar is so desperate that he will risk his own life ho will leave the moment lie strikes a house strewn with news papers. There is nothing so cheap in the wuy of a burglar alarm as news papers. When this becomes generally known circulations will increase. Mas. .Tur.i.v Waud Ilown has written n scathing reply to Mr. V. Ilophinson Smith's fluttering indorsement of the Turks, in which she quotes figures to prove that in the last 7ft years more thai: 100,000 Christians have been massacred by Turkish mobs. She concludes with this remark: "An empire in which these things are chronic and apparently Incurable is an anachronism in the 39th century and a disgrace to eivilizu tion. To abolish Turkish misrule is the plain and urgent duty of civili.ed na tions, nnd the speediest way of doing it will be the most merciful."
