A CENTENARIAN'S SIMPLE LIFE.
Every human being who passes
the century line of life, says the
New York World, i naturally in
teresting. Miss Kachel Mar
tense, of New York, who cele
brated on Tuesday her 102d birth
day, serene, smiling and iri good
health and spirits, is therefore a
"human document" evidently
worth reading.
Where her own analysis of her
life may not be altogether correct
it is at least interesting to know
to what Miss Martense attributes
her longevity. The chief facts ol
her life from this viewpoint seem
to be these :
1. She lived for the first fifty
years of her life in a farm house
and spent much of her time out
of doors.
2. When tired of working in
her garden she went to her em
broidery, and with characteristic
Holland-Dutch industry was al
ways busy, though never com
pelled to drudgery.
3. She had been free from care
as to the means of subsistence.
4. Longevity is a family char
acteristic. 5. Her mode of life has been
regular. She has always kept
early hours for retiring and ris
ing, end has always retained her
cnthuiasm and interest in life by
keeping posted through newspa
pern as to what is going on in the
world.
. The fact that in almost all re
spects Miss Martense has lived a
life in strong contrast to the'usual
Jifeof to-day is one that might
profitably set most people to
thinking.
Life, of courso is not to be
measured by the standard of
years alone, but that nature has
preference for "the simple life"
has rarely been shown more con
clusively than in the case of the
pleasaut old lady who enters up
ou her second century cheerful
and smiling and is still so femin
ine as to be glad to know that her
hair and combs aro "all straight"
when she receives her callers.
"BLIND TOM'S" OLD MOTHER
Charity Wiggins, a colored
woman, said to be 105 years old,
who died here last week in a little
tumble down shanty on the out
skirts of the city, was the mother
of Blind Tom, one of the greatest
prodigies the musical world has
ever koown. She was born in
slavery and belonged to the fam
ily of General James N. Bethune,
wealthy Georgians, who lived
nearColumbus. Shewas the moth
er of twenty children, of whom
the noted pianist was originally
regarded as the least worthy.
When Tom was born his moth
er belonged to Colonel Wiley
Jones, of Georgia, and not long
after his birth she and her chil
dren were sold to General Beth
une. Tom being blind and con
sidered worthless, was "thrown
in," that is to say, in the transac
tion no valuation was set upon
him.
When the child was 3 years old,
according to the story of his
mother, told just before she died,
he developed a great fondness for
music. General Bethune's daugh
ters were accomplished musi
cians, and the chief delight of the
blind boy, who was allowed to
crawl about the yard wearing a
single garment a shirt was to
get under the window and listen
to the young women playing the
piano.
Tom's birth raises an interest
ing question in psychology, and
has been the subject of comment
in the lectures of some of the
most eminent men of science in
the country. Just before his
birth there were several young
women at the home of his moth
er's owner, all musicians. They
played on the piano in the even
ings, and frequently had Tom's
mother to dance for them, a duty
which fell lightly on the shoulders
of the negress, who violently lov
ed not only the dancing, but the
music. She took advantage of
every opportunity to hear the
piano, and seemed enchanted with
its melodies. She had a good
memory, and learned many of the
selection, though not able to play
herself. This is believed by many
scientific men to account, largely
if not wholly, for the wonderful
talent of her son. In her declin
ing years the old woman delight
ed to tell stories illustrating the
peculiar and remarkable accom
plishments of her blind offspring.
She always denied that he had
only intelligence in music, and
she resented the idea that his gift
of music was purely mechanical
When "Blind Tom" was at the
height of his fame some years
ago, Having won renown in this
country and Europe, he invited
his mother to go to New York
and bo his companion. She went
and for five years had every com
fort of life, but she was supreme-
y unhappy because she was re
moved from her old surroundings
and associates.
Accordingly she returned to
the little two-room cabin .which
General Bethune before his death
had built for heron hisoldGeorgia
plantation. There she and ,two
of her daughters remained until
ast April, when her daughters
removed to Birmingham. The
old woman came with them, and
the trio, on account of illness and
natural infirmities, became pover
ty stricken. The mother of the
musician took to her bed in July
and never rose, dying last Tues
day, the oldest of her twenty chil
dren is more than C5 years.
Her body was taken back to the
scenes of her childhood, near Col
umbus, Ga., for burial, benevo
lent white people paying the
funeral expenses. Birmingham

MARY MACLANE AND A TIP.
Among the little foibles of the
remarkable young lady from Butte
ii one which is told by a former sec
retary of Edmund Clarence Sted
ninn, who lunched with Mary Mac
Lano at a downtown restaurant re
centlv. After lunch wag over Mary
MacLane said to her friend:
"Now, you just let me fix the tip
the way I want."
Then Mary signaled the waiter
and, producing a quarter, said
blandly:
"Waiter, I'll match you for the
tip."
With n look of astonishment on
his face the waiter produced a quar
ter and laid it down. Mary won.
Then, with the same calm air, she
continued :
"Now I'll match you for that
quarter.".
Mechanically the astounded wait
er deposited his quarter. Again the
luck favored Mary, and she quietly
pocketed the coin.
"You see, my dear," said she to
her companion, "we really do things
better in Butte." New York Times.
Ballooning In a Thunderstorm.
Two German aeronauts, Dr. Mie
the and Lieutenant Hildcbrandt, re
cently liad a remarkable experience
in the heart of a thunderstorm.
They ascended from Tegel at 3
o'clock in the afternoon and, pass
ing through a mist, came suddenly
into a thundercloud. From a height
of 050 feet t he balloon was shot a
mile upward, and then as suddenly
it dropped half a mile. They make
the curious statement that although
they did not sec the lightning they
were deafened by the thunder, while
pelted with rninj hail and sleet. The
balloon leaped and plunged so swift
ly that at times the car was on a
level with the gas bag and the tow
rope was above their heads. After
about half an hour of this experi
ence the balloon fell from a height
of 7,200 feet, descending upon a
thick wood of beeches, branches of
which broke the fall and saved the
lives of the adventurers.
Insurance Figures.
Few people have any idea of the
enormity of the insurance business
of the L'nited States. It not only
exceeds that of any other country,
but is twice as great as that of all
the rest of the world combined. At
the present time there is in the
United States about $12,000,000,
000 of life insurance in force, in
cluding assessment business, says
Leslie's Weekly. This means over
$1(!0 for every man, woman and
child in the country, or $800 for ev
ery family. The annual risks writ
ten by the fire insurance companies
are estimated at $20,000,000, which
is $250 per capita, or $1,250 per
family. Thus it will be seen that
every family in the country on an
average has insurance assets of over
$2,000.
Maximum Value of Land.
The maximum values of land in
the north Atlantic states were
reached in 1880, and the fulling off
during the' past decade has been
specially marked. In the south At
lantic and south central states farm
values reached a high murk in 1800.
The Ifeavy drop of ten years later
reflects the havoc of civil war. Since
that time the trend of values in
these states has been upward. In
the west the values have rapidly ad
vanced. The only apparent excep
tion is the last decade. But the low
er figures for 1900 are due to the
largo amount of cheap land thrown
open to the public. Mahin's Maga
zine. Menelek's Clocks.
The Emperor Menelek, among his
other hobbies, takes great interest
in clocks, and .several chronometers
have recently been imported from
Switzerland by M. Ilg, his Swiss ad
viser, which vary no more than six
seconds in two months. Bus Ma-
konncn has also ordered several cu
rious mechanical clocks from Swiss
firms for presentation to the negus
and the empress. The most remark
able of these is u great chiming
clock to imitate that of St. Marga
ret's, Westminster, London.
., Plucky Mrs. 8eton.
Ernest Seton, whose studies of
animal 'life have, delighted so many
readers, for twenty years has been
noting by word or sketch every
small act lie discovered. " Among
them arc-innumerable footprints, of
wild animals, most of which he gives
Mrs. Seton credit for obtaining.
She has often gone into an animal's
cage in tho New York too and, with
the .keeper' assistance, cajoled the
creature into walking to and. fro on
light brown paper, which would
show its tracks.

.N IVORY ARROW. "
An Eskimo arrow of walrus Ivory
found imbedded deep in the breast
of a Canadian gray goose is on ex
hibition in a gun store at Spokane.
The goose was shot a few days ago
by John Cochran near Liberty lake.
As he picked up the big honker,
weighing fourteen pounds, he was
surprised to see a little piece of ivory
ticking out from its breast for two
inches.
With difficulty he pulled it out,
for tho flesh had grown around the
object. Then he saw that it was an
arrow eight inches long and about
as thick as a lead pencil. The carv
ings on the stem where it was tied
to the arrow stick are still visible.
No arrow of the sort wad ever
seen here before. The bird, evident
ly carried it thousands upon thou
sands of miles from the far north,
where it was shot by some Eskimo.
Spokane Spokesman-Review.
A Runaway Locomotive.
About ten years ago I called upon
Chauncey M. Depew at his home, 27
West Fifty-fourth street, writes Tip
in the New York Press, lie was at
dinner, and in that friendly way of
his sent word that he would be up in
two minutes; I must make myself at
home, etc. As it was a professional
call and I was seeking an interview
I bided my time. On the mantolpiece
in the reception room was a diminu
tive locomotive, which I investi
gated. It appeared to be a model of
one of the New York Central fli
ers, but I had no idea that the thing
had motion. We got down on tho
floor together, and suddenly it start
ed off at a mile a minute (more or
less), tearing along the hall with
me after it. The blamed little thing
ran straight into the dining room
and was caught under the table by
Mr. Depew himself.
Will Shorten His Signature.
Stress of business and the dearth
of time will lead to a change in
President Koosevelt's signature. lie
has always been accustomed to write
out his first name in full, but he
finds that it will save him about 50
per cent of time and trouble to make
it simply T. Roosevelt. Where a man
lias to sign his name about 1,000
times a duv, it makes a big differ
ence. There is a man in the office
of the auditor for the postollice de
partment who, it is said, owes his
appointment largely to the fact that
his signature contains but five let
ters. He is Second Deputy Auditor
.. Chew, lie does little but sign
his name, and ho does that for about
eight hours a day steadily.
Slower Than Philadelphia.
A Philadelphia member of the
state legislature was recently show
ing some liarrisburg friends around
the city hall and took them into
Mayor Ashbridge's room. His
honor made himself very agreeable
to the visitors, as is his wont, and
hud a hearty "Glod to have met
you!" for them as they were de
parting. One of the strangers,
much impressed by the mayor's cor
diality, lingered long enough to say:
"If you're ever up in our town,
come to see me. I'll treat you right.
You've never been to liarrisburg,
have you?"
"Oh, yes!" replied the mayor. "I
spent two weeks there one after
noon." Philadelphia Times.
Pettus as a 8peech Writer.
When Senator Spooner was fin
ishing his Philippine speech, Sena
tor Pettus, who is eighty-one, sat
steadily writing at his desk for more
than an hour, but at the same time
apparently listening to what Sena
tor Spooner was saying. . .
"What's he writing?" asked Sen
ator. Millurd of Senator Scott.
"Don't know," replied Scott, "but
it seems too long for a letter."
The curiosity of all hands was
satisfied soon after, for Mr. Pettus
arose, took up the manuscript and
read from it. He had been writing
an answer to Senator Spooner while
listening to him. New York

Fast Travel.
A railroad train has run 149
miles, between Buffalo and Syra
cuse, in 143 minutes, including a
two minute stop at Rochester. Isn't
that just about as fast as any rea
sonable person " should care to
travel? Will the world be much
better oft if it gets electric cars
running at the rate of a hundred
miles an hour? As to airships
well, nobody knows what they may
do at some time in the future. They
sail and soar, are not tied to metal
trackways, and the wildest imagina
tion can sail and soar and roam at
will with them up among the clouds.

How Can I Keep Upjwith
i the Times ? "
IT is pretty hard to keep well informed on the
political news, the scientific news, the literary
news, the educational movements, the great
business developments, the hundreds ofinteresting
and valuable articles in the hundreds of excellent
magazines. About the only way it can be done by
the average busy man and woman is to read a
magazine like The Review of Reviews," and, as
it is the only magazine of the sort, it is a good
thing to send $3.50 for a year's subscription.
