, Mr* Hetty Green Recently gave an
interview, the ocC’oaioH being her 77th
birthday. She had been ashed how to
live to be one hundred years old.
"I have never gone up into the cob-
webs," aaid Mr*. Green ea\Ahe seated
herself in a chair beside tfl^ dealt-’of
her eon. Col. K. H. Green. Ho their

office. Ill Broadway, New Yorl& "You
can rely on me for the truth and'com*
mon sense. I can tell you how to live
to )>e 77 years old.”
••But you are reported a* being 76
years old ’this morning, ’ she was told.
•'That was very nice of the newspaper
boy*. They did it to make me feel good.
Nevertheless, I am 77 years old. for I
was born In 1834. I ami not ashamed
of it—really. I am proud of it. To
live to any good old age, 1 would pre-
scribe for young people the possession
of, first, a good conscience; second, a
good appetite tor the heat food plain-
ly cooked, and, third, good will toward
others. If they will follow these rules
they will live as long as they want to "
Mr*. Green chuckled as she united the
strings of her bonnet and said:
“You ask me how I feel this morn-
ing. Well, 1 have the spunk of twenty
men and feel five years younger than
on my last birthday. Much of tny
present good health I ascribe to the
•presence of my son, who is a great
help to me."

Is Shep. a red collie belonging to a
hotel man in Shoshone At Shoshone
the Snake River plunges into s cavern
with less than a foot between the sur-
face of the rushing waters and the
roof of Jagged roeje. Sharp-toothed
rock* bristle above the swirling cur-
rents, and cruel stones project from
the slippery sides. From this sub-
terranean passage the river emerges
on the edge of a great canyon, over
the brink of which It dashes In a
thundering cataract of foam and spray
220 feet to the abysmal depths below.
The falls of Shoshone are sixty feet
higher than Niagara Fall*.
A child pulled Shep’s plumy tall one
day and Shep bit the child. Foe this
he was promptly condemned to death
by his owner, who took him to Hnake
river and threw him In Jus* outside
the cavern, and when Shep, battling
bravely for his life, was swept out of
sight Into its mysterious mouth, he
was considered a dead dog.
Half an hour later a boy hurried into
the hotel and informed Shep's master
that his collie was sitting on s half
submerged rock below the falls how-

The Turbine.
The first steam turbine fitted vessel
was constructed by the' Mon. C. A.
Parsons at his works at Newcastle-on-
Type. The Turblnia, a small vessel
100 feet In length, made her trial trip
November 4, 18»4. The system rap-
idly developed owing to Increased
speed of the vessel* fitted with turbine
engines and the economy effected In
coal; improvements were made In
their construction, and today the tur-
bine ship is popular the world over.

"She accused me, as usual, of hav-

said she’d bet I wouldn’t And Just

His Economy.
The children in the Blank family
were taught habits of neatness at the
table by being compelled to pay a fine
of 1 cent for every spot they put on
the tablecloth. On* day Harold, s
boy of seven years, was discovered
rubbing the overhanging part of the
cloth between his fingers, and. when
taken to task for It, he mid: "Why,
Mummy, 1 was Just trying to rub two
spots Into one!"—Woman* Home

London Good Oystsr Market.
I/jndon Is a great consumer of
oysters. The cheapness of the deli-
cacy half a century ago crested a de
mand for it, which ha* hung with the
appetites of the people ss tenaciously
as the habit of smoking a pipe has
smong the men. It ts estimated that
l,ondon consumes a billion a year, and
the record shows that in 1864. when
prices were very low, 700.000,000
were eaten.
be don* away with, wholly or
ha part. No one who knows what the
nail traffic of s large commercial con-
cern is will wonder at the dissatisfac-
tion with the present system. The en-
tire time of one clerk frequently Is re-
quired, and in some concerns several
persons are occupied in placing the
little oblongs of gummed paper on en-
velopes and packages. An experiment
ilready has been tried In Bavaria of
poetmarklug large consignments at the
poatofflce, the operation being carried
out by machinery, and no stamps be-
ing used, say* the Chicago Tribune, in
this way an enormous expense for
printing, cutting and pasting paper
stamps has been avoided and no affix-
ing of stamps has been necessary.
But It Is suggested that this method
Is crude and that something yet more
saving ot time and labor might be de
vised A meter, resembling a gas or
water meter, could be attached to each
targe commercial house, and the mall-
Ing matter could be passed through
It. The registry of the amount would
be automatic, and the poatal authori-
ties could read the meter once a month
and collect the amount due them. Dif-
ferent meters oould be had for first,
second and third class matter. Cer-
tainly some such method as this
seems far more consistent with the
spirit of the age than our present la-
borious anc time-honored way of do-
ing We have, of course, provisions
for avoiding the stamp nuisance for
■omt matter, but probably they could
be extended and bettered.

An editor of a New York magartne
recently received a story of which
the scene was laid In the state of
Washington. He wished to have the
story Illustrated, and In order to ob
tain the best local detail be sent the
manuscript to * young artist out tn
Washington. Before doing so. bow
ever, he scrawled hastily across the
top of the first page the address of
the writer, which did not otherwise
appear on the manuscript It wa*
"Shelton, Wash.” With the story the
editor sent a letter asking th* srtist
to make a wash drswing of a certain
effective scene sad forward It as soon
aa possible By return mail the ed-
itor received an anxious reply from
the youthful artist, saying: "I not#
that you wish me to use Shelton

wash, nor do any of the dealers out
here. If you can send me a tub* I
