The common idea is that longevity de~

writes Richard A. Proctor in the Com» i

this idea. but it is imprubablc. and that

ongevity is affected lndlrcctiy rather
than directly by inheritance. It may j
well be that the descendant of long-lived :

told her mates. It was simply the ad«

Miss Mollie‘s‘ most attractive features 3
were remarkably expressive and. beauti- l

Those who were accustomed to see her in :
all moods said there were times when she ;
looked very like her father. and there; i

regarded by old family friends as very 3
great.
Even at that schoolgirl period Brown i
found great pleasure in Miss Mollie‘s com~ l

most diflident of men in women‘s society.
he was wholly at ease with Miss Mollie.

Nickel.
Nickel is an elementary metal. It was
first obtained as n metal about 175! in
Germany. But the are had been long
known to miners. who called it Kupfer
nickel. or Old Nick‘s copper. because
though it looked like copper ore. no cop~
easily be hammered out into thin sheets
or drawn into wire: it is stronger than
iron. and almost as, hard to melt. , Its
chief use is for )lating other metals. as
it gives them a autiful. silverlike sur~
face which is quite easily kept from rust-
ing. It is also used in alloys. German
silver is made by taking one. part nickel.
one part zinc. and two parts copper.
of three parts copper an one part nickel.
Nickel is found in many parts of the
Russia, Sweden. Germany. Austria, Eng-3

A Queer Pardon Story.
ucer things happen in this pardon
Historian L. B. Proctor. au-
thor of "Reach and Bar.“ and several
other standard works. was tellingme the
other day of a peculiar pardon case under
Governor Sc 'ard.writes an Albauy(N. Y.)
correspondent of the Buffalo Fourier.
Mr. Proctor was a student in Governor
Seward‘s law oflice in Auburn, when
Judge Samuei Blatchford was a partner
of Seward. A man and his wife had
been convicted of a crime and both were
sent to State prison. He was sent to
Auburn and she was serving a term in
Sing Sing. Sympathy had been amused
for the woman and a petition signed by
many influential names was resented to i
Governor Seward for her pa on. After
mature consideration he. decided to grant '
it. and on his way tovNew York one day.
stopped at Sin Sing and delivered the ‘
pardon papers inmelf~an unsual thing.
he woman‘s name was Frances. and her
husband‘s name was Francis. She was
handed the pardon and walked out.
Seeing that the mas‘culino form “Francis"
appeared in the pardon she took a train
at once for Auburn and presented the
pardon to the \\’arden.with the statement I
that she had been oned by Governor
Seward and been lowed to bring her
husband’s pardon in rson. The
Warden looked at it. It called for the
releaseof the manfuid he was brought
out, handed the pardon and allowed to
go free. When Governor Seward found
out the mistake he thought it better to
say nothing about it, and the prisoner i
was urn recur lied. ‘

mural in a letter lddml to Bat-barb, l
t
, patriarch of Aquileia. was written at the
age of ninetydive. In this he says “lief
finds himself still in possession of health 5
and Vigor. and in perfect command of all '
his faculties.“ According to some ac~
counts (‘ornaro lived to the age of 104.
discourses with the best information we
have up to the time of his death. which
appears to have occurred in 1566. it
would seem that he was either in his
ninety-ninth or 100th vear when he
died. ‘
How much Cornaro‘s abstention; and ¥
ascetic ways man have had to do with?
his remarkable vitality may be inferred
from the fact that having. when eightv ;
years old, met with a. terrible accident. i
by which his head and body were bat~ ‘
taxed and a leg and an arm dislocated.he i
recovered—.though‘the mysicians pro-
nounced‘lns injuries f —4lmo;t with-
out medical treatment, and without any
feverish symptoms.
