Apology.
The most remarkable family In
point of age In the United States lives,
moves and run things In the Cumber
land Mountains of Kentucky In Let
cher county, to bo exact. Webb Is the
ame of these old persons, whose num
ber is six, and to whom every individ
ual of the 12,000 population of the
.county is directly or Indirectly related.
Three old men there re, and three old
women. Their father was the first
eonsln of Daniel Iioone, and was, In
addition, the earliest settlor In the
ragged mountain region In which his
descendants are now all powerful.
They are all called by their given
names, with the prefix "Uncle" or
"Aunt," as the case may be. There Is
Aunt Letty. She comes first by reason
of her age, which is eighty-nine years.
She Is growing rather appreciative of
the burdens which come with advanc
ed years, and she is not so spry as she
hit been up to a few years ago. Then,
too, the murder of ber son, Wiley W.
Craft, a dozen years ago, has had much
to do with al rig her. To Archibald
Craft, her husband, she presented
eleven pledges. Her grandchildren
number ninety, her great-grandchildren
sixty, and her great-great-grandchildren
forty.
After Aunt Letty comes Aunt Polly,
who Is eighty-five years old In her own
right, and who is growing old grace
fully at the home of her son. She mar
Tied a man named Adams, and ten
hlldren were born. It was to visit
her eldest daughter that Aunt Polly
last year rode one hundred miles on
horseback over the roughest of moun
tain roads. She didn't mind this ex
perience, so unusual for an octogenar
ian, and remarked that the Webbs
came of hardy stock. She has 110
grandchildren, and seventy great
grandchildren and about forty great-great-grandchlldren.
Jason Ib next In point of years, be
ing eighty, and the moat prolific of the
family. He doesn't know tho meaning
ef Illness from any personal knowledge
ef It, and he says he feels as fine as a
yearling. Nineteen children Is the
Tecord which makes him the proudest
nan In Letcher county. These nine
teen have obeyed the Scriptural Injunc
tion and have multiplied to such an
extent that the old gentleman has 175
jrandchlldren, 150 great-grandchildren
and more than one hundred great-great-grandchildren.
Ho is one of the
two members of the aged six who have
aver looked upon the landscape from
a car window. It was two years ago
that ho first ventured on the "kyars."
and that was when be went on a visit
to friends In Tennessee.
Then there Is Uncle Miles, who con
siders himself In the prime of life. Al
though ho is seventy-eight years old,
h rides his horse all over the rough
aelgbborhood and Is apparently as un
restrained In his movements as a
youngster. With him, too, the storks
hare been srenerous. and the children
ef his children number 165. his great
grandchildren count up to 150 and the
last generation ninety.
Aunt Sally, with seventy-five mile
stones to her credit, runs around her
home with as much agility as any of
her grandchildren. She is a widow
and does her own work, even to shoul
dering a sack of corn and carrying It
to the mill. She has thirteen children
ighty grand chtldren. sixty-live great
grandchildren, and more than
creat-great-grandchlldren.
Dfty'l
Tho baby of tho family Is Uncle
Wiley, who Is only seventy-three. His
eleven children perpetuated the race to
tho extent of seventy-five grandchil
siren, and he has fifty great-grandcbll
dron and thirty great-great-grandchildren.
He apologizes for his compara
tively small number of descendants
,y stating that his sons married late
la life.

Tho Arab mode of attack was quaint
to a degree; formed In a line, each
tribe advanced against a part of the
Tillage. When about 500 yards from
tho mud houses they halted and com
Menced to dance, brandishing spears
and swords In the air and firing off
rifles. After a few moments they re
sumed the advance, dancing and firing
all the while (In the air) when sud
denly, with a yell, they rushed at the
houses, and, having effected an en
trance, they slaughtered every one
within. -

An amusing Incident Is reported
from St. Petersburg. A copy of the

A SWELLED HEAD.
If asked who la the greatest bore,
By truth we are compelled,
If wo make answer, this to say
The hi a n whose head Is swelled.
His own Ideas and weighty thoughts
So fill his little mind.
In others no nood trait ho sees,
To hlu own faults he's blind.
So great Is bis own self esteem,
So miKhty Is his worth,
He thinks all things would ccasa to
move.
If he'd step off tho earth.
Ho sees much that hn'd criticise,
And much that makes him frown.
Not only this, 'ho has the p.ll,
To "call bis butters down."
Theso swell-bead people wo all know,
Can to themselves give thanks.
If some line Morning they awake
And find they're only cranks.

THE HUSBAND'S JEALOUSY.
She was only eighteen when Gilbert
Amydon married her a biight-eyed
little Uilng, with hair like gold, and a
complexion like tho pink-and-wlilto of
a conch shell.
"Gil, you're a fool!" said his plain
spoken uncle, who had money to leave,
and comported hlnibelf In a propor
tionately uncivil manner. "You're like
all tho rest of tho worid Infatuated
by a pretty face."
"I confess, dear Gilbert, I am sur
prised nt your choice," said bis cM
erly maiden ulster, "after having told
you tbut Sylvia Simnierton was In
clined to look favorably upon your at
tentionswhy, Sylvia has threo hun
dred a year of her own."
"I'm really afraid, Gilbert," said his
mother, "that Florence is raincr
young and Inexperienced."
"She'll grow older, mother, saia
tho bridegroom cheerily; "and there's
plenty of experience to be had In this
world, If one only lives long cnougn.
And Gilbert Amydon and his pretty
little wife were as happy as the day
was long.
Florence cried a little when her
husband was obliged to go away on
Important business connected with the
firm in which ho was a partner. I uey
hud been married only a few months.
"I wiah I were going with you, Gil
bert." said she; and Gilbert Amydon
laughed and patted her rose-leaf cheek.
Why, what should I oo with a lit
tle scphyr of a creature like you?
said he. "How would you endure trav
eling all night and running about all
day? No, no; you muBt stay at homo
and keep house till I come back."
So Gilbert Amydon went away.
He had not been gone many weeks
before a long and acrid letter from his
maiden sltUer, Druailla, infused a bit
ter element into the current or his re
flections. "Florence is very well," wrote Miss
Druailla, who, although by no meana
cither fat or fair, was forty at least,
and apparently very happy. She had
friends to tea last night. Of course,
I was not invited, although most inop
portunely 1 called in, about the Dorcas
Sewing Club, Just as they wero sitting
down to tea. The MlBses Myrtle wero
there, with their cousin, Major Dar
rock is very bandsonio" theso words
were underscored with two vicious
dashes of the pen "and, judging from
their conversation, Florence and he
were old friends before she met you. I
dare say It is all right Indeed, Flor-
ence told me mat wneu sue inviieu
the threo Myrtle girls she didn't know
that Major Darrock had Just arrived on
a visit to them. But, nevertheless, 1
hardly believe It is well to re-lgnlto
the ashes of an old flirtation on the
altar of an absent husband s heartn-
otone. However, as 1 said before,
Florence is very young, and can hard
ly be expected to comprehend these
things."
Gilbert Amydon felt a sharp sting
of latent Jealousy go through his heart
as he read Ills sister's words, but pres
ently he broke Into a smile, and toro
up Miss Drusillas letter unceremoni
ously into clgar-llghters.
"They would shut her up in a nun-
aery if they had their way, said he to
aiinself. "Poor, dear llttio girl! she
et have tome amusement."
Uut Uncle t'rawley'B next letter was
more vaguely annoying still.
"I suppose you have heard from your
wife about the fnncy masquerade ball,"
said ho. "The young folks are all
wild about It. Your wlfo is to go as
Rowena to Major Darrock's Ivanhoe.
Tho costumes are to cost no end of
money, I am told. When I was a
young man people didn't squander
their incomes in that sort of way. But
I suppose If you are willing, it's not
my business to object.
Gilbert Amydon knit hlB brows and
bit his Hp, as he read tho words that
his Undo Crawley had penned with
such malicious plessure. This was
quite a different affair from the tea
party to which Drusllla Amydon had
taken exception. And for the first
time In his life Gilbert felt In his heart
a strong, surging tldo of anger toward
the beautiful young wife whom he
had promised at the altar to lovo and
cherish.
"If she Is really going to this ball,"
ho said to himself, "I don't know what
the consequences will be. She knowf
I hate bal-masques, and slie knows,
too, that alio has no business to g(
with that major fellow when I am
sway. Drusllla was right she is too
vniinor for a wife. I should have
thought twice before I gave up lntc
her hands such unbounded power tt
sting and torture me. At all events, )
wont stay fcere to he made a fool or.
I'll go back home, and Judge for mysell
whether she Is losing all her common
sense and discretion.
He glanced nt his watch.
"If I start at once," he thought, "1
can bo nt Dedlington on tho evening ol
tho ball. And I'll do HV
What a long, dreary rldo that was
midnight Joltings through endless
stretches of woods and meadow-lands
and tunnela of echoing rock days
when sleep and waking eeenicd oddly
Jumbled together! And the ono per
vading Idea that filled his brain was
Florence, robed In pale blue silk with
her golden hair dressed as In an old
picture lie had onco seen of tho beauti
ful Saxon Princess Kowena. And all
the time his heart was as heavy as load
within him.
Florence, whom he had loved and
trusted Florence, who had grown Into
bis henrt ns the clinging Ivy makes
Us way Into the erevleca of the gran
ite rock Florence, whoso pure Inno
cence and singleness of nature he
had worshipped what would life be
worth to hli.i If she should prove un
true? Not that he feared any such
misery no. he knew Florence too well
for that but a plum with the bloom
brushed off was no plum for him. he
had told himself, with a hot, fevered
anger throbbing through his brain; of
what value were the smiles whoso
sweetness was lavished liberally on ul
alike?
And as ho rode along, with folded
arms and traveling cap drawn sullenly
over bis eyes, GU'iert Amydon felt like
one who was already bereaved.
The house was dark as he ascended
the sti-ps and opened tho door with
his latchkey.
"Gone!" ho said to himself, wiin
bitter smile. "Gone! Well, I knew it.
What else could I have expected? Sbo
Is no loncor my sweet, homo-loving
Florence, but Itoweaa, tho Saxon
Princess!"
With these thoughts In his mind, he
strode up the passage, and opened the
drawing-room door. To his surprise,
It was neither dark nor deserted.
cheerful lire burned In the grate tho
shaded lamp threw its circlet of llghti
on the red-covered cent re -table and
there, all ulono. sat Florence, her
check resting on her hand, her soft
eves fixed Intently on something in
her lap bis photograph!
It was the prettiest little tableau In
the world. Amydon stood for a sec
ond. scarcely willing to disturb it.
"Florence!"
"O. Gilbert, Gilbert!"
And with a low, sobbing cry of Joy
she spiT-ng to his breast.
"So you haven't gone to the fancy
ball, after all," said he, as ho sat down
beside her, passing his hand fondly
over her golden hair.
"To the fancy ball? 1 never thought
of going. Gilbert. I knew you did not
like balls; and, besides, where would
be the pleasure ot going, witn you
away?"
"They wrote to me that you were
going as Rowena, the Saxon Princess,"
said Amydon, half ashamed of tho
words he uttered.
"O, I know!" said Florence, laugh
ing. "Fanny Myrtle did want me to
go. She was to be Rebecca, the Jew
ess, you know, and Major Darrock, her
cousin, was to be Ivanhoe; and sno
thought it would be a nice party. She
even ordered a costume for me, but I
told her all along I shouldn't go; so
Clara Myrtle is wearing it to-night."
"While you are sitting here all alone,
and studying my photograph?" he in
terrogated fondly.
"I I'm afraid I was crying a little,
confessed Florence, "for I was so lone
ly, and I wanted to see you so much."
"My own darling little wire!"
This was the last of Gilbert Amy-
don's brief madness of Jealousy. Dru-
sllla's spite and Uncle Crawley's quiet
malice had all fallen short of their
mark.
And Florence reigns undisputed
queen at last over her husband's heart.
Holluml anil Her Colonies,
It Is not the fiercest nations that
have been the greatest successes at
colonlzinR and getting rich out of gen
tle toil. Next to England, little pleg
matlc Holland has ths most valuable
colonies in the world. She still holds
Java. containing 25,000,000 people,
and although the natives are Malays
they are very loyal. She also has oth
er rich possessions In the east, the is
land of Sumatra being four times as
largo as Cuba, and the island of Cel
ebes being larger than all Now Eng
land, to say nothing of her six Islands
in the West Indies and her possessions
In South America. The good-natured
Netherlands, like the British, have
held on to their profitable territory by
keeping the spirit of trada alive rather
than the spirit of autocracy, and avoid
ing the levy of murderous taxes, with
nothing in return to compensate.
About Mqilitoo.
Mosquitoes, It la to be presumed, ex
ist for snmo useful service, but what
It Is known only to etomologlsts. To
the majority of people there Is no in
formation regarding them so welcome
as the fact that they are gradually be
ing exterminated by the advance of
civilization. This being so, it should
be additionally Interesting to those
who live in districts where mosquitoes
abound to know how their departure
can be expedited. Permanganate of
potash, says a medical paper, can be
used against them with deadly effect.
Minute parts of the crystal are suffic
ient for the purpose. The same author
ity Informs us that only two and a
half hours aro required for a mosquito
to develop from Its first stage, a speck
resembling cholera bacteria, to its'
active and venomous maturity.
