TIE HERALD.
The age Of Man.

Few men die Of age; almost all persons
die Of disappointment, passionaI, mental,
or bodily toll, or accident. The passions
kill m N sometimes even suddenly. The
common expression, "choked with pas
'siou," his little exa ggeration in it, for even
though not suddenly fatal, strong passions
shorten life. Strong bodied msn often die
young-weak men live longer thHn the
strong, for the strong use their sire th,and
the weak have none TO use. latter
take care of themselves, the former do not.
As it is with the body, SO it is with the
mind and temper. The strong are to break
or like The candle, run the weak burn out.
The 10 serior animals which live temperate
lives have. generally their prescribed term
Of years. The horse lives twenty five years;
The OK fifteen or twenty; the lion about
twenty; the hog ten or twelFet the rabbit
eight the Grihea-pig six or seven, The
numbers of alI bear proportion to the time
the Animal takes to grow its full size. But
man, of all animals, S ldom comes up TO
the average. He ought to live hundred
years, according to the ply Biological law,
for FIVE times twenty are one hundred (;
but instead Of that, he scarcely reaches
an average of four times the growing
period. The reason is obyious-man is
not only the most irregular and the most
Incorporate, but the most la orious anc
hardworking of all animals, and there is
reason to believe, though we cannot tell
what an animal secretly feels, that
more than any othef animal, man cher
ishes wrath to keep it warm, and con-
sumes himself with tie fire Of bis own re-
hectuns.

DURABILITY OF TIMBER-The piles
sustaining The London Bridge, have been
driven 600 years. In 1915, they were
examined, and found to have decayed but
slightly; these piles are principally of elm.
Old Savoy Place, in the city of London is
sustained on piles driyen65oyears ago; they
consist of oak. elm. beech, and chestnut, and
are perfectly sound. The bridge built by
The Emperor Trajan, over the Danube,
affords a striking example Of the durability
of timber in the wet state. One Of these
piles was taken up, and found 10 be petri-
He'd to the depth of three quarters of an
inch. and the rest ct the wood has under
gone no change, though it had been driven
1000 years.

POP CoRN-The Prairie Farmer calls a
more general attention to Pop Corn, and gives
the following mode Of preparation for use:
: If lard is plenty put fourth of a tea cup full
in kettle, if scarce one half the amount will
answer; heat until it begins to smoke; pour in
one half cup of corn and stir until it begins to
mop; then cover with Goth and keep quiet till
Il ceases; then pour into pan, and, 10 the
half cup of corn is now half pan fll'l Of rich,
crisp, and snowy white corn, resembling large
snow flakes Then take half cup of sorgho
sirup and boil to candy, and stir in the corn
while hot; cool and make into balls. Ofcourse
wife or sister will make the candy and the balls.
for your or my hands would not look well in
things so lice and tasting so good. | think
hundreds OF boys will be glad to learn this Of
pop corn.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5. Mr. Bohanan, who
was captured in the vicinity of Ocoquan last
Christmas, and lately returned home, has among
other things, informed the Journal that Castle
Thunder is the only prison in Richmond where
prisoners are allowed to purchase anything.
Shortly after the battle of Chickamauga about
2OO wounded prisoners arrived at Richmond
from the field. They were almost all in
furnishing and starving condition. They were
three days on the road between the two points
and all they had to eat was four hard crackers
each.
They were taken to the Libby Prison, where
they remained two days without having their
wounds dressed and during all which time thew
had not mouthful to eat. Soe offered as
high as $50 for IA LOAF of bread, but the Office
would not let il be carried to them.
