Mrs. Killcrease Born In Ncrto Carolina
Before the Declaration of
Independence.
(Special to News and Observer.)
Statesville, N. C, July 23 Mr. J.
A. Houpe. of Statesville, has receiv
ed from his sons, Messrs. John and
Claude Houpe, who live in Oklahoma,
a copy of the Dallas (Texas) Semi-
Weekly News, which has a number
of items of interest to North Caroli
na people in its columns. The paper
prints a photograph of Mrs. L. Kill-
crease, probably the oldest woman
in the country, and the following
facts are given in connection with
the photograph:
"The picture is taken from a pho
tograph of Mrs. L. Killcrease taken
June 24, 1907. Mrs. Killcrease was
born in Halifax county, North Caro
lina June 10, 1776, nearly a month
before the Declaration of Independ
ence. She came to Texas witn rela
tives in 1886, and now lives at Pine
Mills, Wood county, Texas. Mrs.
Killcrease is said to be in good health,
barring the natural feebleness at
tendant upon an extreme old age.
North Carolina, where she was born
and lived for more than 100 years, is
f imed for the longevity of its peo
ple. Centenarians are not uncom
mon there, the unsurpassed health
fulness of that region with its resin
ous mountain air, its pure water and
equable temperature conducing to
prolonged life."
Original Lha rater of Dickens Living.
(National Magazine for August.)
When mention is made of the empire-builders
of the Canadian West,
the name of Lord Strathcona in
stantly comes to mind. As Donald
Smith, he played an important part
in the exploitation of the great un
developed country. He equipped a
regiment, the Strathcona Horse, in
the South African war. He has done
much toward stimulating the ties
that bind the Imperial and Colonial
governments.
Lord Strathcona was knighted be
cause of his public work, and was
raised to the peerage because of his
philanthropy. This latter point in
his character was well brought but
by the celebrated English novelist,
Dickens, in his representation of the
Cheeryble Brothers mentioned in
"Nicholas Nickleby." It is not gen
erally known that Lord Strathcona
was the original of this shetch.

Music Typewriter.
(Youth's Companion.)
Lourenz Kromar, of Vienna, has
invented a"muisic typewriter." With
the aid of this instrument the com
poser may produce a typewritten
scroll without the trouble of making
the characters by hand. All that he
has to do is to place his himself at the
piano and give free play to his cre
ative fancies. Every stroke upon the
keys is registered in regular musical
characters upon a paper as a scroll
would upon a drum. The machine op
erates through a system of electric
contacts with the piano keys. The
registering apparatus, which resem
bles an ordinary typewriter in size,
may, in order to remove discordant
sounds, be placed at a distance from
the piano, even in an adjoining room.

THE LIMIT OF LIFE.
The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the generally accepted limitation of
human life "is many years below the
attainment possible with the advanced
knowlcdg of which the race is now pos
sessed. The critical period, that de
termines its duration, seems to be be
tween 50 and GO; the proper care of
the body during this decade cannot le
too strongly urged; carelessness then
being fatal to longevity. Nature's best

"What time?" asked the bore.
Mr. Blaine made an elaborte con

"Come at 10 o'clock tomorrow morn

you then. You understand the hour,
do you not? Ten o'clock precisely.
"I shall be here," said the bore.
"Mark you, cautioned Mr. Blaine,
when I say 10 o'clock I mean 10
o'clock. You must be here on the
exact minute. Promptly at ten
then."
"All right," replied the bore. And
he went away jubilant.
"Blaine," asked William E. Chan
dler, who was present, "why did you
make such a precise appointment
with that man? You don't want to
see him."
"I know it," replied Blaine, "bi t
I fixed the hour with exactness and
impressed it on him so 1 shall know
when to be out."

Milking Machines.
(Prof. A. M. Soule in Southern Farm Magazine
of Baltimore for August.)
We have tested a milking machine
for some time at the experiment sta
tion, milking from 35 to 40 cows for
a period of about six months. The
cows took kindly to the machine and
gave down their milk as a rule.
There were one or two stubborn
cases, however, due we presume to
the peculiar individuality of the an
imals more than to anything else.
The machine will undoubtedly draw
all the milk out of the milk cistern,
but whether it will furnish as much
stimulation to the nerve cells as is
necessary to the well-being of the
cow cannot be stated definitely at
this time. You realize, of course,
that this is a very important matter.
We believe there is little to chose
between hand milking and machine
milking. Our experience leads us
to belieye that a good competent
man will milk and care for about as
many cows in a given time as can be
milked by the machine. The ma
chines are also somewhat difficult to
keep clean. We think that they will
probably be improved in the near
future, and that if one could not se
cure labor and had a competent man
to take charge of the machine, he
could use one advantageously, but
we do not think they will prove more
economical than hand milking where
satisfactory laborers can be secured.
In our opinion one of the chief draw
backs to the milking machines is the
necessity of some form of power
with which to operate it which makes
the installation quite expensive, and
we do not think the machine will
give satisfactory results in the hands
of indifferent labor.
