Kato Upson Clark Begins a Sensible Ar ticle by Telling How Ono Housewire Who Prided Herself on tlic “Simplicity” of Her Cooking Fed Her Family. [Copyright. 1801, by American Press Associa tion.) means rise, breakfast, dine, sup and re tire at as nearly the same hours every day as yon can. Cleanse your body both inside and out with regularity. Clothe yourself uniformly at the same season. It is risky in the extreme to go out in furs in the morning and then to drive to an entertainment in the evening with a light opera cloak thrown over bare neck and shoulders. The simplest form of living is in the open air. Get all the fresh air, there fore, that you can. Go out to walk in it every day. Ventilate every room in your house every morning. Never sleep, j unless except in the most bitter weather, without an abundance of fresh air in your chamber. Wear flannel night | gowns, night caps and mufflers if neces sary, and, while using “comfortables” no : mere than you are compelled to, do not be afraid to employ plenty of blankets and down quilts. Do not sleep in a draught, unless heroically protected, and do allow heat to radiate from your fur nace throughoq^the house if you want it; but insist upon having in abundance also, that rarest boon of the modern dwelling Bouse, fresh air. Let your clothing be plain, warm, light and loose. There is no foe to simple liv ing like the clothes fiend. It introduces all sorts of ghastly complications into our modern life. Dress for the weatheT without regard to the calendar. Refuse to carry, at the behest of a fashionable dressmaker, several pounds more of lin ings and draperies and jet trimming than you need to. Give every organ of your body room to do its simple duty. A re stricted circulation, and vital organs misplaced and tightly pressed by the vicious system of dress now in vogue are at the bottom of two-thirds of the horri ble, nameless diseases of women. The praise of simplicity is in all men's mouths, but, as with many another vir tue, its praise and its practice are two very different things. Many have fallen into inconsistency in this regard from ignorance; yet even for those who un derstand it—that “first step in nature and last in art”—its pursuit, under the unfavorable conditions of modern life, is sufficiently difficult. In “simple liv ing,” however, lie the germs of trne and and abiding happiness. All Fire Married Well—One Is Lady Ran dolph Churchill. Of all the girls in New York city the five Jerome sisters were considered the handsomest, and their father gave them every advantage that money could pro cure. They were as fond of horses as their The Body of a Young Woman Found Forty Years After Her Disappearance. Mary Ann Grier disappeared from her father’s home, two miles south of Michigan City, nearly forty years ago. A few days ago her body was recovered in an aban doned bog iron ore pit, without one vestige of change from the appearance it had known in life. The last shred of clothing was long ago destroyed by the action of the water in which she had met her death, but the same chemicals which removed the garments preserved the flesh. Not only is the contour of the form per fect as in life, but the color has remained unchanged. The arms and shoulders are as white as marble, the hands are browni but suffused with a ruddy flush, which old settlers here will remember as one of tho girl’s chief charms, and, were it not for the unsightly cavities that once contained the eyes, that petrified frame which has lain almost half a century in the soil would ap pear the peacefully sleeping figure of a healthy, handsome young woman. The story of Mary Ann Grier is easily told. In the first place, it should be known that.this country is full of a kind of iron called bog ore. In an early day it was ex tensively mined by the farmers and hauled by them to Michigan City and South Bend, where it commanded a ready sale. In many instances it was the one product of the soil which brought in money. The iron is in small particles, much like the ore from larger mines, and is excellent in quality, though not rich enough in quantity to repay the trouble of mining it since the day of railroads and the develop ment of Pennsylvania mines. None of the ore has been taken from these swamps since 1850, although the swamp lands all over northern Indiana are full of it. Mary Grier was tho eldest daughter of Nicholas Grier, and was a belle in those old days of 1845 to 1850. She was famous all over the country, which was then new and sparsely settled, and was sought in marriage by many an excellent young man. She was known as a worker, as a good cook and as a famous housekeeper, and besides had had the unusual advan tage of a fair Euglish education. With the perversity of her sex she had chosen a harebrained fellow named Whit- sel, and had told her parents she meant to marry him. Whitsei owned an ox team 4ind made a living hauling ore from the shallow mines to the forge at Michigan City. lie was warned away from the farm by Grier and his boys, but persisted in his attentions, and finally received a sound drubbing from tho old man. The following day he started north with a load of ore, and early in the evening Mary left the house, saying that she was going to a neighbor to return some trifle she had borrowed the day before. She was never again seen in life. Iler parents and the neighbors believed that Whitsei had decoyed her away, and they followed him clear to Michigan City; but they could find no trace of the girl. Fearing to return to the neighborhood Whitsei sold his oxen and left the country. He has never since been heard from. It was known at the time that Mary Ann had never reached the home of the neighbor for which she had started. In the light of events now known it is probable she meant to meet her lover, and started across the lower prairie land to meet him near the creek road. She must have fallen into one of the pits from which the ore had l>een taken, drawing down upon her as she fell au avalanche of the loose but terribly heavy soil. There must have been water in this pit, as was almost invariably the case, and this, with the iron, must have produced a solution that tended to preserve the body. — Cor. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
