But although these survivals Beem ' remarkable thoy are nothing out of the brdinary when one comes to investigate .such matters. 3 The widowhood of the Countess of Desmond, who died lately, extend. ed to seventy years, and even this does not top the record. Agnes Skinner, who died in 1499, at the age of 118, is said to have survived her husband ninety-two years. A much more recent and better auth- enticated case was the lengthy wid owhood of Jean, Countess of Rox burgh, who died in 1753, at the age of ninety-six, v She had been a widow for seventy- one" years, her husband, the thir earl, having lost his life on the Glou | cester Frigate, wrecked in 1682. -- Tit Bits. - i i------ Counties in Tabloid Form.

Thus, all North Country girls find themselves living communal life with friends that the) knew at home; and the Scotch girls hear their Scottish dialeet around them; and any collgens do not feel lost, for they get together at meal time and bedtime. , Some of these girls are very young but they 'do not feel homesick oi lonesome when home-friends are near, On the other hand. those rough corners in manmers and char acter often peculiar to dwellers in particular districts have little chance to get rubbed off when no stranger ae present.---Pearson's Weekly al 0 OA BIG SALE!

Nothing could so aid the German peace propaganda to-day as a belief that with further concessions and further concessions and further con- cessions it might be possible to win the German people to a gemocratic peace without further military de- feats. The tact is that the German people have not accepted a single one of the peace principles of the great western democracies, and show less tendency to do so to-day than before the Russian revolution led them to believe that they might still obtain a German peace. Not only is there no present evi- dence of a tendency within Germany to accept a peace based upon demo- cratic principles, but all the German parties are aiding the propaganda in America, Russia, and all other coun- tries of various Ger ideas of peace which have nothin' in common with democratic principles while re- sisting by all means in their power | the effort of democratic nations to secure support inside of Germany for genuinely democratic peace ideas, Yet peace can come before the de- cisive defeat of the German armies only if the invasion of free nations by the peace ideas, of Germany is check and the peace ideas of the free nations take possession of Ger- many. If the German people con- tinue impervious to the rights of other peoples and to their demand for a peace based on .he durable foundation of equality, justice, and democracy, then the war will con- tinue--as President Wilson says in his December message--until the German military power is "crushed and utterly brought to an end'-- which means incalculable suffering and loss of life tothe German people. In its manifesto of greeting to the Bolshevist revolution, the Geran "opposition" Socialists leave no doubt .that this section of the German people--from whom alone we had hoped for democratic peace ideas-- is, on the contrary, entirely devoted to the Bolsheviki anti-entente peace policy. This manifesto refers to the Bolsheviki as 'the proletariat," ig- noring the fact that the Socialist re- volutionists led by Kefensky and Tehorndff have elected two-thirds eof the constitutional assembly. It then proceeds to endorse the Bolshevist denunciation of "all the Imperialist govern: V'--thus making kaiser- ism identical with the democratic re. publics of America and France! Shall we continue to look for sup- port from such elements? Shall we not rather expect from them the vi- triolic and treacherous antagonism of Trotzky and Lenine, no whit less violent than that of Hindenburg and the Kaiser?
