Mary Clemmer says that no men In Washington 
public life have changed so rapidly in appearance 
as Conkllng, Carpenter and Blaine. “While men 
like Senators Hamlin and Morrill do not look a day 
older than they did ten yeara ago, these three 
men, who are more than twenty years younger, 
have grown swiftly old by the.lr aides. 1 ' 
Senator Conkllng, says a correspondent, proba¬

than nuy other congressman, regulating Ids diet, 
exercising, and abstaining rrom strong drink and 
tobacco, lie tlius preserves Ids manly lOrm, though

Tlie three children of Senator 11111. of Colorado, 
are young persons gifted with great health and 
strength. “ I ascribe their line development to 
their being allowed plenty of sleep in their child¬ 
hood, and never being allowed to keep late hours,' 1 
said the Senator to some one remarking upon 
their beaut y. 
James Palmer went into an undertaker’s shop at 
Riverton, va., and got measured for a coffin, which

lessons of our Bavlnur, because I feel It; and be¬ 
cause I re-wrote that history for my children, every 
one of whom knew It from having It repeated to 
them, long berore they could read, and almost as 
soon as they could speak. But I have never made 
proclamation of tills from the house-tops.”
