JEPTHA HARPER, JOHN W. HARPER, JEPTHA A. WEfjBORN, Executors. Jan 3,189* 27 6 America's'Richest Woman, New York, January 2R ?With a fortune estimated at $60,000,000 Mrs. Hetty Green, the richest woman in America, lives in a dingy hall bed room in a Brooklyn hoarding house and eats in the kitchen, paying seven dollars a week for board and room. Although she has a husband, son and daughter she has no home, but mi? grates from boarding house to board? ing house, careing for two things? her money and her privacy. The eccentricities of this Croesus in petticoats arc as sands of the sea. She lives the life of a roving hermit because it gives her an excuse to re? fuse to pay taxes on her personal property. "Whenever a tax collector is fortunate enough to locate her she sends him away empty-handed on the grornd that she is a non-resident of the city, or County, or State. She has been so shrewd in her endeavors to conceal her temporary residences from the public that at no time within ten years have more than a score of persons known where she slept or where she ate her meals. Here is a pen picture of' the vornan in her daily garb. She is well above the medium height, with a large frame and plenty of flesh to cover the bones. Her hands and feet are of generous proportions. She is not only square jawed, but her whole head is singu? larly square. She has high cheek bones, a firm, straight nose, thin lips and keen, gray eyes set well back un? der the broad forehead. Her hair, once brown, looks as if it had a tinge of green in it. It is combed down straight on each side of her forehead aggressively. Thore is an aggressive air in the poise of her head and the well-squared shoulders and erect figure. She walks with a quick, yet shuffling stride.. Her features are not coarse and an ex? pression of good nature, sharp and shrewd, yet kindly, is on the face that haunts many a mortgage debtor in his' dreams, wears shop-worn clothing. She wears a faded black cloth dress that she paid $1 for at a second-hand store in 1892. It is frayed around the* bottom and the skirt is rusty. Over this was a $1.90 cloth jacket, bought two weeks ago after she had called once a week for three <or four months to inquire the price, which was origi? nally $6. After shop-wear had brought the figure down to $1.90 she took the jacket. Her bonnet is small and black, and unobtrusive enough in appearance from the front, but the ribbon with which it was faced cannot conceal a great patch of faded yellow at the back, which you can recognize any? where. She wears heavy overshoes over her thick button boots. Three or four buttons are gone, and the wo? man's feet look obtrusive under the short skirt. Her overshoes are loose, too, and her shoes of coarse leather. Tightly clutched under her left arm, this golden princess in peasant dress carries a black cloth bag, with pucker? ing strings, which is her constant companion out of doors. own8 a fob.ttjne. in diamonds. [ Once in a very great while Mrs. Green "dresses up." She haB a strange passion for diamonds and keeps a marvelous array of them locked in her strong boxes in the Chemical Bank. Once upon a time she yielded to the beseechings of her landlady's daughter and brought from the bank an immense bundle. She uncovered on the kitchen table a col? lection of diamonds, and precious stones such as they had never seen. There were diamond brooches and necklaces and a string of per.rls, which Mrs. Green admitted was worth & great many thousand dollars, and in addition, a very handsome black satin i wn, with black lace flounces on it a foot long. The old lady (she is over 60) was persuaded to go up and put on the dress and diamonds, when she looked like a queen of wealth, as she is. Even then she wanted to eat in the kitchen, but the landlady insisted on her sitting with the other boarders. But Mrs. Green quickly donned her old garments, saying she felt like a fool in the others. The rich woman's life' is the most hum-drum possible. She rises early, and after breakfasting in the kitchen walks across the bridge to New York, unless it is stormy, when she will spend three oents for car fare. Once over the river she goes straight to the Chemical Bank, where she has her office.. She is one of the largest stockholders in that institution, and keeps her spare cash there, amounting to three or four million. In the vaults of the bank are Mrs. Green's strong boxes, where are some $25,000, 000 worth of Government bonds, se? curities, mortgages and a magnificent collection of diamonds. All of Mrs. Green's letters, no matter how ad? dressed, go to the Chemical Bank. She gets hundreds of begging epistles every week, and they invariably reach the waste basket. She takes her luncheon at the bank to save money and spends the day at her desk, looking over papers and scheming for gain. She leaves for home about 6 o'clock, and after sup? per spends the evening in the kitchen to save burning gas in her room. Mrs. Green's husband is a club bachelor, once worth $1,000,000, but now dependent on his wife, having lost his fortune in speculation. "Ned" Green, the son, looks after his mother's 'r.torests out of town. Miss Sylvia H. Green, 28 years old, is a tall, plain-featured young woman, who has a fortune of ?5,000,000 in her own right, besides being a prospective shaver, with her brother, in her moth? er's vast estate. The four members of this queer family arc most of the time domiciled under four roofs, thanks to the mother's eccentric par? simony. ? It was an old bachelor who said that he never read the women's corner in his p:ij?-.T, although he was sonic thing of a woman scorncr himself. Where's Mother ? "When the tired father returns at night from the office or shop, when the children come home from school, the first question is always?unless she stands in the very hall before their eyes?"Where's mother?" It is often said that the mother is the home. This question is one of the many proofs of the proverb. Unless the mother is in the house, the vital principle of the home seems to be lacking. She comes, and comfort, love and joy seems to enter with her. She goes, and there is a sort of breath? less and uneasy waiting until she comes back again. To the true mother, the knowledge that she is thus indispensable to the loved ones should be one of the choic? est possessions. It is only by cher? ishing the spirit which prompts the question, "Where's mother ?" that the can properly instil into the hearts of her children that "passion for home" which one of our great writers has called the "first charaeteristice of manly natures." And yet not infre? quently a tired mother will exclaim impatiently : "I wish that I could stir without having an outcry, 'Where's mother ?'" .To one who sets true value upon life and its . duties and pleasures, such words come with an awful shock. Pearls seem to be cast out wastefully before the feet of such women. But even if a mother holds most dear this precious tribute of love, how many are there who take pains to be at home when the children come ? Or, if she must be absent, to leave word for them; or to tell them before they go in the morning or at noon that she ?expects to be gone when they return, with the reasons and regrets ? It is only by mutual thoughtfulness in these so-called trifles that the harmo? ny of the home life can be preserved, and woe to her who does not appre? ciate them at their true value. It is impossible that the busy mother of a family, with shopping to do, calls to make, and meetings of various kinds to attend, should always be in when the children come home from school. It would show au undue regard for sentiment if she were to shut herself away from the outside life which every woman needs so much, and which she needs, especially for the benefit of tne family. But by follow? ing this rule, to tell the children in the morning, whenever she can, just where she is to be, and how soon she will be at home, she may keep alive and still foster, though she is absent, the sacred flame which she so highly prizes. A lady was calling recently upon a friend, when a small boy came bound? ing in at the basement' door about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, with the us? ual inquiry: "Where's mother?" "0, I remember," he added impati iently, "she said she was going to the mothers' meeting this afternoon. I wish she would hurry: up and come back!" "She didn't go," said the good na tured Irish girl to whom he had been speaking, "she had word there would not be any meeting." "0, goody !" cried the urchin, leap? ing up the stairs two at a time, and bursting into the room where the la? dies were sitting. His face was wreathed with smiles?but his f hoes were muddy. "0, Tommy I" exclaimed his moth? er, in a reproachful voice, as she pointed to the tracks he had left be? hind him. "Well, I was so glad to see you home," he explained, as he saluted his visitor in boyish fashion, and imprint? ed a resounding kiss upon the moth? er's cheek. "I'm sorry about the mud, but here's my hall for you to sew up, and lere'b the geography you were going to cover; and may I go over to Will Smith's corner with my roller skates ??there's such a daisy side? walk over there I" Verily, well may the mother forgive much in such a case. And blessed is she who can answer the children's question with a glad "Here I am !" and hear their sweet words of joy in her presence.?Congregationalist. Around the World on Nothing. "Paul Jones," the Boston clubman who has contracted to start on nothing and circumnavigate the globe, bring? ing back $5,000 with him, will start from the Boston Press Club between now and February 22. The World correspondent was in? formed to-night by an officer of the Press Club, who is also a member of the Athletic Club, that the wager was made in good faith. j On the day of the start he will strip at the Press Club, and a com? mittee, of which Gen. Taylor of the Globe, will be a member, will appraise his clothes. He will then set about earning money to buy them back. He will black boots, brush clothes, do anything in fact, and accept what is given him. If any one offers to treat he will accept and sell his drink to someone else. When he gets his clothes he will go on the streets and earn money in any legitimate way he can to go on to New York, whence he will jail for Er.gland. He has al? ready made a contract with an Atlan? tic liner to take him over for his ser? vices as dishwasher. The World correspondent has met Mr. Jones. He is a cultivated gen? tleman of means. His money will be locked up in a safe-deposit vault here and the keys left behind. The wa? ger grew out of Mr. Jones' theory that any man can get rich in a short time if he will only "swallow his pride." This he proposes to do for a year, though he is a sensitive man. He ex? pects to resume his former habits of life after returning.?New York World. _ ? If the head be washed occasion? ally with salt and water it will lessen the falling out of the hair.

More men have died and are buried in the Isthmus of Panama, along the line of the proposed canal, than on any equftj amount uf territory In the world, Capld In Connecticut, Justice in Connecticut is a woman and she indignantly resents any slight shown to her sex. That is why Miss Alice A. "Watrous, a comely and am? orous school madam of Colchester, got a $750 verdict for breach of. promise against Roswell Chamberlain a far? mer. After a courtship of two years Chamberlain told her that he could not afford to marry her, "because he needed all his money to buy fertilizer with." Is it any wonder i-hat the goddess took the bandage from her eyes for a moment that she might see the man who preferred fertilizer to a pretty girl, who would rather have bone dust than bones clothed in flesh and blood and who spurned the joys of wedlock for the delights of a big crop of potatoes ? The State would have been disgraced forever had such slight gone unavenged. The unsenti? mental farmer must pay the verdict whether he gets any more fertilizer or not. The shame of the Common? wealth must be wiped out. Chamber? lain's defence that the girl did the "heft of the sparing" is not valid and it is not natural, either. Girls assist in the process, and they occasionally take the initiative, but no courtship proceeds to an engagement to marry without some active work on the part of the man. A Michigan poet under? stood the process when he wrote this idyl: . She was wary and wiley And kissed him quite slyly Then laughed in a murmur of glee. They Bay the velocity Of his reciprocity Was really refreshing to see. Men are the same in Connecticut as they are in Michigan. Miss Watrous wrote love letters to Mr. Chamberlain and he wrote love letters to her. The two swung on the front gate in the light of the moon and said many things which would sound silly if heard by a disinterested person, but which to them were the profoundest wisdom. The young woman went to the farm house in which she expected to ljve and superintended the painting and papering of the interior, and Chamberlain did not object. He was not thinking of his crops then. For? tunately for him and for men like him he has learned that a man cannot have such execrable tastes as to prefer a fertilizer to a Connecticut girl without suffering for it.?Brooklyn Eagle. Why Eve had no Help. A lady furnishes some of the rea? sons why Eve did not keep a hired girl: "There has been much said about the faults of women and why they need so much waiting on. Some one (a man, of course) has the pre? sumption to ask: 'Why, when Eve was manufactured of a spare^ rib, a servant was not made at the same time to wait upon her ? She didn't need any. Adam never came whining to Eve with a ragged stocking to be darned, buttons to be sewed on, gloves to be mended right away?quick now 1 because he never read the papers until the sun went down behind the palm trees, and stretching himself yawned out: "Isn't supper ready, my dear ?" Not he. He made the fire and hung the kettle over it himself, we'll ven? ture, and pulled the radishes peeled the potatoes and did everythinh else he ought to do. He milked the cows, fed the chickens, and looked after the pigs himself and never brought half a dozen friends home to dinner when Eve hadn't any fresh pomgranetes. He never stayed out until 11 o'clock at night, and then scolded because poor Eve was sitting up crying inside the gate. He never loafed around corner groceries while Eve was rock? ing little Cain's cradle at home. He did not call Eve up from the cellar to get his slippers and find them in a corner where he had left them. Not he. When he took them off he put them under a fig tree beside his Sun? day boots. In short, he did not think she wa.s especially created for the pur? pose of waiting on him, and he wasn't under the impression that it disgraced a man to lighten his wife's cares a little. That's the reason Eve didn't need a hired girl, and without it her decendants did." ? Two more "practical jokers" are in jail at Malvern, Ark., awaiting the result of their foolishness.

BRADFIELD REGULATOR CO* ATLANTA, OA. jrOg BAIE BY ALL DBVQQIS$& A Soldier Lunatic. In a very readible account of the Hospital for the Insane of Western Tennessee, the N. Y. Recorder has the following: Probably the most picturesque crazy man in Tennessee is Gen. Thomas P. Smith, of Williamson county. Gen. Smith was the youngest brigadier in the Confederate army and was a dash? ing soldier. At the battle of Frank? lin he received a sabre cut on the head from a federal trooper, and it wrecked his mind. It was several years after the war when he had his first delu? sion. He imagined he was an Indian chief, and in truth he looked like one when he decked his long, black hair with feathers, painted his face with polkberry juice, and, mounted on a spirited horse and arm with a long hickory bow and a quiver of arrows, went galloping over his estate. He kept up that practice for several months before he was confined. Fi? nally he sent an arrow through the arm of an inoffensive old man and then tried to scalp him, and the au? thorities broke up his fun. He was sent to the asylum, and, as his insanity was of the intermittent variety, he was a most estimable and entertaining gentleman when sane. He became a great favorite with the ! superintendent, Dr. Calendar, and his wife. The General was made a trusty f cr the keepers and soon learned to know that his paroxysms of insanity were always presaged by the delusion that he was drilling a regiment of soldiers. One afternoon he was noticed drill? ing his men in buckram, but he quiet? ed down and it was regarded as safe to let him attend a dinner given by Dr. and Mrs. Calendar. He took the hostess into dinner, and after the soup had been disposed of, show? ed her a butcher knife about two feet long. This sight sent the cold chills chas? ing up and down Mrs. Calendar's back, but she realized that it would never do to manifest any apprehen? sion, so she dissembled and said: "Why, General, what are you going to do with that big knife?" "I am going to kill Calendar," re? plied the General, complacently toy? ing with his fish. Mrs. Calendar had more cold chills, hut she plucked up heart of grace and said imperiously: "Gen. Smith, I am surprised that a gentleman of your culture should think of being so rude as to kill another gentleman in the presence of a lady." "Pardon me,madam," saidtheGen eral, with courtly contrition. "I had forgotten it; but it probably would be unpleasant for you to see me kill Cal? endar. He might bleed, and the sight of blood is obnoxious to most ladies. Pardon me, ma'am. I'll put it off un? til you retire," and the General re? sumed the discussion of his fish. "Gen. Smith," said Mrs. Calendar, "give me that knife." "I cannot, madam," said the General, "I will have use far it pres? ently." "Fie! Fie, Generali Do you forget that a Southern gentleman never re? fuses a lady's request?" ?'I am rebuked again, madam, and again beseech your pardon," replied the martial lunatic, and he handed Mrs. Calendar the knife with the air of a Chesterfield, requesting her to be sure and return it to him after dinner, as he needed it to kill Calen? dar. Mrs. Calendar left the dining room as soon as possible and, sending for her husband, gave him the knife and told him all what had happened. Then her nerves gave way and she fainted. The General was secured after a hard fight and had an attack of acute insanity that lasted several weeks. When he is himself Gen. Smith likes to tell how he frightened a city man who was hunting birds on the asylum grounds. The General was a trusty, and strolling up to the sports? man asked him "What luck?" "None at all," replied the town man, "my dog finds the birds all right but I can't hit 'em." The dog came to a point just then and the General, who was examining the stranger's gun, advanced, and as the covey rose dropped a bird with each barrel. The city sportsman was delighted. "By George!" said he "you're a bully shot. Suppose we keep together and you do the shooting and I'll furnish the gun, and we will divide all the game." Gen. Smith had reloaded the gun, and, facing the stranger, said : "My friend, do you know who's got your gun?" "Why, no; who?" said the urban Nimrod. "An escaped lunatic from that asy? lum over yonder," replied the Gener? al; then, as the stranger turned pale, he added impressively: "My friend, you are in a -bad fix." The stranger thought so, too, and trembled like an aspen leaf. The crazy General enjoyed his discomfiture for a moment, then returned the gun to him aud advised him to be more careful in future about putting himself in the power of strangers. Gen. Smith is a regular attendant of Confederate reunions, paying an asylum attache to accompany him. He is a great letter writer, but even in his sanest moods cannot write coherently He invariably subscribes himself "Thos. P. Smith, General C. S. A. and U. S. A." He is frequently visitcd by his old comrades, and always accords them a hearty wel? come. ? A horse can not breathe through its mouth like a dog and other animals. It can only breathe through its nose. The soft palate forms a complete partition be? tween the mouth and throat, and can only be elevated, or allow the passage of food or water backwards, by compression such as that which occurs in swallowing. The passage of air through the mouth is entirely prevented by the soft palate. By filugging a horse's nose it may bo readi y suffocated. It is because breathing can only be performed through the nasal organs that spacious, open nostrils are considered not only beautiful, but ne? cessary, for they allow at times of unus? ual exertion for the free pnssage of large volumes of air into the overtasked lungs during respiration. Instinct of Self Preservation, I never realized the strength of the instinct of self-preservation in man, says John F. Thompson, in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, until I witnessed a test of it on a steamboat. Among the passengers was a man who had a black rattlesnake in a box with a glass top. The snake was a very vicious one, and would strike the glass whenever any one approached. The owner of the reptile challenged any one in the crowd to hold his finger on the glass and let the snake strike at it. There could not be any danger, and there was not a man who did not think it an easy thing to do. One big fel? low, who looked as if he never knew what nerves were, tried it first, and after repeated attempts, gave it up. Then every passenger on the boat attempted it, and failure followed in each case. It simply could not be done. Instinct was stronger than reason and will power combined. I witnessed another illustration of this in Paris. A young man had lost his last cent, at a gambling table. Not only was he without means, but he had lost a large sum belonging to his employer. He started for the Seine to drown himself. On the way there was a great commotion, caused by the escape of a tiger from a strolling me? nagerie. The animal came down the street, and the people fled in every direction. Instantly, the man who was seeking death climbed a lamp-post and hung on to the top of it, tremb? ling in every muscle. When the animal was captured and the danger was over, he went to the river and committed suicide. I was interested in the account of the suicide, and, prompted by curiosity, went to see the body, instantly recognizing it as that of the young man whom I had seen make so frantic an effort to escape death, evidently but a few minutes before he sought it, and at the very time that he was seeking an opportunity to end his existence. ? Knox county, Illinois, is proba? bly the divorce centre of the United States. In the last five years the number of divorces have engaged one to every seven marriages. ? According to the Norfolk Virgin? ian, a girl residing in a Lake Michigan town has recovered $500 damages from a steamboat company for naming a boat after her without asking her per? mission. An exchange says she took offense at a marine item that, "Kittie Marshall, having been thoroughly scrubbed, painted, refitted with cano? pied stern and new boilers, will here? after serve as mail carrier, and poke her pretty nose in the lake business for all she's worth." ?
