s'ALtAD "0F. THE'COUNT’RY.’ ' [ LONGEVITY’

Mehitable Jane can erect a fence
On a most extravagant plan;

In popping of corn she’s very immense,
But she never yet popped o’er a. man.

She can puncture a drift or guide a plow
Or build up a good mince pie;

But when she gets down to ethics, I trow,
She isn‘s so awfully fly.

She can take away straw from the threshing ma
chine, .
Or round up a stack with the best;
She‘s off on the style of society‘s queen,
But on dumplings she rakes all the rest.
Two handed she’ll milk a big dairy of cows,
And strain it all through a felt hat;
But she‘s reticent some on Baconlau rows,
And on Browning, alas! she is flat.

She can mend all the socks and the trousers in
reach '
And do a big washing aplorub;
She can wring a hen‘s neck and give never a
screech,
But on Swinburne the poor girl is dumb.
She can scrub a big kitchen and wallop the kids
And start them away to the school;
But tackle her on what the last fashion bids
And the subject will show her a fool.

Lusty limbed, rosy checked is Mehitablc Jane.
Built up from the ground on a plan
Of grandiloquent size, which, alas! giveth pain
To the putty faced little club man.
But take her at home, where she reigns as a
queen,
And her like over often you’ll find;
Where the clover is sweet, well, she isn‘t so
mean
Where the eye of old nature is kind.
——H. S. Keller in J udge.

Fun with 11 Cork Leg.

It would not be supposed thz.t any one
could get much fun out of a cork lcg.

Yet I knew a man who had the misfort-
une to lose his leg who got a good deal of
amusement out of its cork substitute.

Once be nearly scared an old gentleman.
out of his wits.

It was in this way: The said cork leg was
a very well made one, and when its owner
was seated you could not tell the difference
between the real and false article. One
day my friend was in a railway car and op-
posite him was an old gentleman. My
friend took out his penknife and began
paring his nails.

“Then he had finished, instead of putting
his knife back in his pocket, like an ordi—
. cry mortal, he gave it a jerk, and it stuck
in his cork leg, and it vibrated to and fro
in a sufficiently horrible manner.

The old gentleman’s feelings can “better
be imagined than described,” as they say
in the novels. He turned abeautiful green
color, and at the next stoppage skipped
from the car in a most active manner. He
evidently thought he had got in with a
madman, and probably imagined his leg
would be the next to be experimented on.—
New York Herald.

Immigrants Soon “Catch 0n.”

\thtever may be said of the evils of im-
migration, it is a fact that many immi-
grants who come from foreign shores to
this country to live pick up the ideas, lan-
guage and methods of doing business in
the United States with great rapidity. An
example of this is furnished by the itiner-
ant vendors of flowers, bananas, dates,
suspenders and other articles, who are
especially numerous around the City Hall
park and the entrance to the bridge. They
are forbidden bylaw to ocCupy one place
for any length of time, and the approach
of a policeman always means a general
moving among the vendors, most of whom
are Italians and Greeks, who have not been
in this country long.

\Vhen one of the crowd sees a blue coated
officer hurrying toward him with mischief

, in his eye, instead of warning his comrades

in his native tongue to decamp, he calls
out “cheese’um.” This is as near ashe
can get to theexpression “cheese it,” which

I he has picked up from the street arabs.—

New York Tribune.

Pei-ination of Strong \Vood.

A knowledge of the strength and durabili—
ty of timber as influenced by the conditions
under which the same was made is of great
importance. It would greatly advance for-
est tree culture if we only knew the most
suitable conditions for making the best
ash, oak and a score of other woods. The
position trees occupy in the wild state is
not always a guide in making plantations.
Because a tree grows upon a rocky cliff it
is no reason why- it would not thrive in
rich soil. Is it true that the more quickly
wood is formed the stronger it is? When
we look at the end of a log it is seen to be
made up of a number of rings. These
rings are caused by unequal growth dur-
ing each season. A comparatively porous
layer is made during the rapid growth of
early summer, followed by a more dense
portion later in the season. It would seem
that the more rapid the growth, other
things being equal, the more porous would
be the product.——New York Telegram.

 

 

Use for Old Papers.

Newspapers are invaluable for packing
away the winter clothing, the printing ink
acting as a defiance to the stoutest moth as
successfully as camphor or tar paper. For
this reason newspapers are useful under
the carpet, laid over the regular carpet
paper. The most valuable quality of news-
papers in the kitchen, however, is their
ability to keep out the air. It is said that
ice completely enveloped in newspapers, so
that all air is shut out, will keep a longer
time than under other conditions, and that
a pitcher of ice water laid in a newspaper,
with the ends of the paper twisted to-
gether to exclude the air, will remain all
night in any summer room with scarcely
any perceptible melting of the ice—Ameri-
can Analyst.

Vibrations in Buildings.

The danger and inconvenience resulting
from the vibrations in buildings caused by
running machinery can be to a large degree
removed by increasing the speed of the en-
gine, the idea being to set up a discordant
vibration between the engine and the floor
beam. The Pittsburg Dispatch tells of a
ten horse power engine which, on the up-
per story of a silverware manufactory,
created such a commotion as to rattle the
silverware onthe shelves a hundred feet
distant. A change of twenty—five revolu-
tions in thespeed, which was in the direc-
tion of increasing the speed, entirely stop—
ped the vibrations.

-IAS MAN’S LIFE GROWN SHORTER
WITH CIVILIZATION?

Patriarchs of Antiquity—Interesting Dis-
cussion Deduced from Biblical Records
and Modern Biological Results—A Re-
markable List of Old IIIen.

“Once man strode the earth like a Go.
Now he is shrunk almost to an-
nihilation. Venerable legends come down
to us from primeval worlds that he once
carried the fires of life for ages. The days
of Methuselah were nine hundred and six-
ty-ninc years. \Vhy should the welling
up of the deep forces of physical immortal-
lty have ceased and man become the mush-
room of the hour?

A critical question, and a truly essential
problem is, Has the human race actually
degenerated physically in modern time?
Mei-ally and spiritually it seems to be an
admitted fact that it has wilted and with—
cred.

\Vhy is it that death should come before
the allotted age of “three score and ten,”
and why so many millions of human
beings never live to three score and five,
and why that not one in every thousand
lives to three score years? \Ve kill our-
selves. Many interesting particulars - are
found in tables of physiologists and writ—
ers on hygiene. The eminent physiologists,
Hallcr and Buffon, present interesting par-
ticulars on the subject of longevity. They
treat the subject in two ways, historical
and physical. The historical side of the
recitation of all facts known of the natural-
l y ordinary and extreme durations of life
and the physical aspect of the problem in—
volves the contemplation of the great nat—
ural phases of development of the species,
digestion, period of growth and length of
life. .

BUFFON’S FORMULA.

Buffon’s formula of the duration of
human beings and animals is that they ex-
ist six or seven times as long as they are
growing or attaining perfect adult develop—
ment. He adduces the examples of humans
and animals. The union of man is effected
ut twenty years, that of the horse at three
years, that of the ox at four years, that of
the dog at two years, etc. He asserts that
humans and animals live six or seven times
as the terms of their growth.

Such being the finally arranged scientific
biological results of ages of observation,
why this extreme rarity of centenarians
and great scarcity of octogenarians? \Vhy
is it that not one out of ten thousand lives
to be 100 years old, when originally the
minimum was two hundred years?

Hufcland asserts that we may set it
down as a rule “that man and animals
live eight times as long as they grow.” He
also asserts that "‘a man in his natural
state, where the period of his maturity is
not hastened by art, requires full twenty
years to attain his full growth and con—
formation, and this proposition will give
him an absolute age of 200 years.” Not-
withstanding this, of one hundred men
born fifty die before their 10th year, twenty
die. between 10 and 20, ten die between 20
and 80, six die between 3 and 40, three (lie
between 40 and 50, three die between 50 and
0'0, and only six live to be above (50.

SOME VERY OLD MEN.

The comparative longevity of the ancients
and moderns is a question of vital interest.
The patriarchs were clearly longer livers
than the present race. Methuselah at
tained to upv 'ards of 200 years, the ortho-
dox interpretation of l-Icslcr, or to near
1,000 years, old style verbal rendering. In

K . r . a
eithercuse Azetliuselah 1s a precious fact,

as are also Jared, Noah, Adam, Seth,
Canaan, Enos and many other precious
facts, who lived to attain at least 200 years.
Very nearly approaching the ages of these
men of centuries, as already interpreted,
profane history has many records of
longevity with interesting examples. The
following table of Mr. Easton, of Salisbury,
England, has striking points not only in
long life, but as representing a variety of
types of the different bloods or races, show-
ing that long life is not characteristic of
any one race or compound race:

St. Patrick died A. D. 491, aged 122 years.

Attila died in A. D. 500, aged 124 years.

Sughwach died in A. D. 500, ‘aged 150
years.

St. Coemazum died in A. D. 618, aged 1520
years.

Countess of Desmond died in A. D. 1612,
aged 145 years.

Thomas Parr died in A. D. 1035, aged 152
years. .

Thomas Damme died in A. D. 1648, aged
154 years.

Peter Torlon died in A. D. 172-4, aged 185
years.

Margaret Patten died in A. D., 1733, aged
13? years.

John Rowan and wife died in A. D. 1741,
aged 17..—1b-'l years. _

St. Mangat died in A. I). 1781, aged 185
years.

WHAT THE FACTS PROVE.

Those long livers all have interesting
histories, and brief notice of a few will not
be out of place. Jenkins, who lived to the
age of 169 years, was a fisherman, and con—
sequently passed most of his life in the
open air. Thomas Parr, who died at the
age of 152, died by the accident of over-
gorging his stomach. Post—mortem showed
him to be perfectly sound, except the over-
gorged stomach. His cartilages were not
in the least ossified, and there was not the
least symptoms of decay to be discovered.

It is refreshing, really inspiring, to think
there is a possibility, even a probability, of
our living as long as (lid the patriarchs.
The historical side of the question, longev-
ity, clearly makes the case one that is en-
chanting to' reflect upon, that a man lives
200 years, enjoying all his faculties to the
last. The physiological and scientific side
of the question establishes the conclusion
that by demonstrated laws of nature on
the question of the life of bones and their
connection with the animal economy, 100
years of ordinary life and 200 of extraordi-
nary life may be enjoyed by any one and
every one—Philadelphia Times.

Curiosity in Paper.

George W'est, of Ballston, is in possession
of a curiosity in paper, sent him by a friend
In Hong Kong, China. It is a sheet 11 by
14 inches, made from the web of the “sacred
white spider” of the Flowery Kingdom. It
is as light as air and almost as transparent,
but is also beautifully printed, containing
about two columns of matter, giving in
English the story of how “Midshipman
Copplestone Was Presented at the Court of
Pekin.” Americans know much about pa.-
per making, but it is safe to say that there
5 not a spider web paper factory outside
the algiond eyed kingdom. —Phila.delphia.

Meteorological observations which have
been taken at 600 meteorological land by-
drographic stations, by many thousands of
observers, show that during the twenty
years, 1848-1860, much rain fell; the next
decade, 1880—1870, was dry; and the next,
1870-1880, was wet. The fluctuations be-

A MARVELOUS SORT ' OF WATER.
A Lake in the State of Washington Which
Cures All Manner of Diseases.
Twenty-five years ago a Frenchman
crossed the continent with a large flock of
sheep. He lost great numbers while moving
through the arid region, and when he ar—
rived in \Vashingtou the sheep that still

cases. One evening as he was preparing for
an encampment he got a glimpse, through
the woods, of a beautiful lake, and he
hastened forward to its shores. The sheep
rushed into the water and began to drink
copiously. He was still more astonished
when he tasted the water and found it bit-
ter and disagreeable, as well as dissimilar
to anything he had cv-g.‘ tasted. Fearing
the sheep would be poisoned he drove them
out of the water, but in spite of his efforts
they returned again.

The sheep were in such a condition from
disease that he had small hope. of their re—
covery, so he ended by allowing them to
drink what he believed to be the poisonous
waters as plentifully as they would. Next
day he could not drive the sheep away from
the vicinity of the lake, and in a few days
more he was utterly astonished to find that
his sheep were restored to a wonderfully
healthy condition. Thereupon the French-
man thought he had roamed far enough,
and he fixed himself a homestead beside
the shores of the lake. For long his home

by the lake was a solitude, but the shores ,

of that lake today are the scenes of busy
and thriving industry. On the French-
man’s ranch the town of Middlebaugh is
building up, and this pioneer Frenchman
still lives and rejoices that he was the first
discoverer of these wonderful waters, which
the world will hereafter know as Medical
lake.

These waters contain salts of sodium,
potassium, lithium, iron, carbon, magne-
sium, calcium, aluminium, silicon, sul-
phur and borium. They are either in
combination with one another or linked
by oxygen. The solution of these various
salts in the waters of Medical lake produce
results which a dozen years ago would
have been deemed miraculous.

The lake covers rather more than a thou-
sand acrcs, and in places is a hundred
fathoms deep. Its source is the surround—
ing hills and mountains, and periodically
it falls and rises. It is surrounded on
every side by low wooded hills and forms a
beautiful and picturesque dark sheet of
water cnbosomed in rolling woodlands.
The waters cleanse and feel like water
with a solution of soap. They taste dis-
agreeable and nauseous.

Ivisited the lake for the first time five
months ago. I then procured a. quantity
of the salts obtained from the waters of the
lake by an evaporating process. Some of
my journalist friends use them regularly
as a remedy against dyspepsia or for puri—
fying the blood, and they tell me they are
wonderfully beneficial.

A syndicate has already got hold of Med-
ical akc. It has erected evaporating and
drying establishments for the prepara-
tion of these salts, and also factories for
the making of soap and bottling the water
of the lake. Hotels are erecting, and the
little town of Middlebaugh is havingaver-
itable boom, in the belief that it must be
come. one of the health resorts of the world.
The lake is but a dozen miles or so from
Spokane Falls. There is a fine country
surrounding it, and it enjoys that glorious
summer climate with which the states
vest of the Rocky. mountains are blest.
The Winters are shorter and far less severe
than you endure in New England—Cor.

A New Method of Treating Disease.
Hospital Remedies.

What are they ? There is a new depar-
ture in lhe treatment of disease. It con-
sists in the collection of the specifics used
by noted specialists of Europe and America,
and bringing them within the reach of all.
For instance the treatment pursued by
special physicians who treat indigestion,
stomach and liver troubles only, was ob-
tained and prepared. The treatment of

other physicians, celebrated for curing

calarrh was procured, and so on till these
incomparable cures now include diseases
of the lungs, kidneys, female weakness,
rheumatism and nervous debility.

This new method of “one remedy for
one disease” must appeal to the common
sense of all sufferers, many of whom have
”experienced the ill effects, and thoroughly
realize the absurdity of the claims of Pat-
cnt Medicines which are guaranteed to
cure every ill out of a single bottle, and the
use of which, as statistics prove, has ruin-
ed more stomachs than alcohol. A cir-
cular describing these new remedies is
sent free on receipt of stamp to pay
postage by Hospital Remedy Company,
Toronto, Canada, sole proprietors. Re-
liable agents wanted.

A Queer ruiieral' Direction.

The story is told of a certain Frenchman
who had been a great collector of coins.
By his will he directed that his obsequies
should be performed with every accompa-
niment calculated to inspire mirthful feel-
ings. His body was to be wrapped in
tanned pig skin and buried collinless in a
standing position upon a pile of charcoal.
Laurel branches were to be carried by the
mourners, and on returning from the
church they were to throw open the cham-
bers in which his treasures were depOsited
and all comers were welcome to help them-
selves as they pleased to the contents. It
was a sore disappointment to the public,
however, to find that before they were ad-
mitted the servants of the deceased had
decamped with everything that was port-
able—Casscll’s.

A GENEROUS CONVICT’S OFFER.»

:A Brooklyn Woman’s Story of a I<egro

Burglar and His “’ealth.

“Some years ago my father rented a
house in W'ethersfield from Capt. Vv'illard,
who was then the warden of the Connec-
*as afterward stab-

of the prisoners, who was hanged for the
murder,” said a Brooklyn lady. “My
father’s family was very large, but so was
the old house, and there was plenty of room
for us all. The grounds were spacious,
and required a good deal of care, so that
five or six colored gardeners were often
working on them. These men were all
convicts, hired by my father from the pris-
on, which was about a, quarter of a mile
from our house. Capt. \Villard said they
were a dangerous lot, and warned us to
watch them closely, and advised my father
not to allow any of us girls to speak to
them or go near them alone. I cannot say,
however, that any of the gang allotted to
us ever misbehaved—unless, indeed, it was
the one about whom I am going to speak.

“This was a big, good natured fellow,
very black, 3. capital hand with the banjo
and about 40 years old. His wife and chil—
dren went to see him in the jail every visit-
ing day, and they all seemed to be very
hopeful of the future, for the prisoner was
serving a term of only five years. He was
suspected of having participated in a num-
ber of burglaries, but was convicted of but
one, the robbery of a jewelry store in Hart-
ford. Very little property was found with
him when he was arrested, and, though
the store was completely emptied of its
valuables, it was supposfd that he had
played but avery small part in the raid
upon it, and his sentence was light.

“But one day, this man, to whom my
father had been very kind, told him confi-
dentially that he had been entirely alone
in his last robber; and a dozen others, and
that the day before he was taken into cus-
tody, knowing that his arrest was immi—
nent, he had buried all his booty, amount—
ing in value, he thought, to close on to
$50,000, in an unfrequcntcd place. He
offered to tell my father where the treasure

The best medical writers claim that the
successful remedy for nasal catarrh must
be non-irritating, easy of application, and
one that will reach the remotest sores and
ulcerated surfaces. The history of the
efforts to treat cutarrh (luringr the past
obliges us to admit that only one remedy
has met lllCSC conditions, and that is Ely’s
Cream Balm. This pleasant remedy has
mastered catarrh as nothing else has ever
done, and both physicians and patients
freely concede this fact. The more (lis—
lrcssing symptoms yield to it.

 

 

When W. iliiiifi'TVas' Cheap.

\Vorkmen engaged in tearing away the
rear of the old Dr. Perry residence on \Vest
Ohio street, were much surprised to find
that all of the corner posts were black wal-
nut. The posts were four inches square
and in a perfect state of preservation. The
rear of the house. was built in the early set-
tlement of this city, and the front was
added many years later. Dr. Perry, who
built the rear part of the house, came to
Indianapolis from Virginia, and was one of
the first physicians to begin the practice in
this city. In his day he was known as the
“Indian doctor,” because his remedies con-
sisted almost entirely of herbs, which he
gathered himself from the woods. The
corner posts are now so valuable, owing to
the scarcity of walnut timber, that they
would pay for all the “piece” stuff for a
building of the size of that just torn away.

\Vild shrieks filled the night air. Such
shrieks! Long drawn wails; long silences;
sharp, shrill cadences; an adagio in mourn-
ful sobs; a bit of bolero time in frenzied
peals of woe—heaps of misery, as though
some malefactor was torturing his victim
as the ancient painter racked a soul to

a squad and made a descent upon the place
of torture. Nobody thought to find any—

A‘ Fighting Lioness.

Early one morning W. Blake, who lives
near Daunt, Tulare county, 03.1., was
aroused by a visit from a California lioness
and her three cubs. They appropriated a
young colt and a fine porker, when Mr.
Blake turned loose three hounds while he
Went for his gun. The dogs killed one of
the cubs, but they were all killed by the
lioness, who retreated in good order before
Blake was able to fire—Philadelphia Led-
ger.

It has been shown by a. series of experi-
ments on dogs that'while the alternating
current is distinc more deadly than the
continuous, its fa superiority is far less
than some former experiments would lead
us to think.
