This young wife had been snatched from him by a sudden and frightful death. The fever which seized her had been so contagious; the woman said, that every one had fled the premises ex. cept one woman servant and the master himself. These, with the help of the doctor, had nursed the young wife through her brief illness until its end. : L E The funeral, in the guaint 014 church but a few paces from the house, had been, from the woman's account, a melancholy affair enough. Scarcely any one dared to eome to it, s 0 malignant had been this fever, and it was feared that the few men who were willing to act as pall-bearers would . not be equal to the task; but the poor lady had always been slight and fairy-like in figure, and so wasted was she from this cons‘umhﬁ fever ‘that the bearers declared that her -welght was scarcely more than that of §n empty coffin. The woman further yaild that, as the small funeral cortege was leaving the church, it had surprised every one to see the husband, who was directly behind the coffin, pause ‘abruptly under a statue of the Virgin, and single out, from the great bunch of white ribbons which hung there, the long strip ‘which his young wife had placed there on the day of her marriage to him, less than a year before. It was an old custom connected with this church.

After an ‘eventfyl' career he found himself in 1884 sufféring from too much flesh, and his health greatly tmpaired. Life insurance couipanies declined 1o accept him as-a risk. - ~ These thiogs led him to a systematie study of reilef, and the result was ‘fletcherism. He found the system of thoroughly chewing everything he ate and siowly sipping what he drank toned up his system wonderfully. It did more, for on his fiftleth birthday anniversary—heé was born in Lawrence in 1849—he rode 190 miles on a bicyele without any training and without apparent exhaustion. r Six years ago at Yale university he, without any training whatever, broke the miversity record for an endurance test, just doubling the best record made in the famed university prior to that time. S . St And now in his sixtieth year Mr Fietcher thinks nothing of the 96 steps he has to traverse to reach his reoms in the East side -tenement in New York. There is. no electric catch to the strget door, and when he hse a visitor or his bell rings he must trewip down and up the stairs each time, #ad. he does it several times in a few 1o ments without the least indication of being “winded” or troudled by the »x. ertion. - | s His Daughter Played! ” - Wife—l can’t understand, John, why you always sit on the piano stool when we have company. .Everybody knows you can't play a note. . * Husband—l'm well aware of it dear.
