lous paragraphs on Various Habits Of
Centenarians:
'Annibal Camaix, who died aged l21.

Nernet's was a hard drinker aud great
eater. The surgeon, Polotiman, who
died at l+0, and who, the evening before
his death, operated with great success
for cancer, got drunk every night. The
peasant woman Obst, who died at I55.
annd who worked in the fields. till the

Hence it might be inferred that drinking

proceedings reused my curiosity, and con-
ceallng myself behind some young trees
determined to watch him. The dog,
who was old and thin, aud to a certain
extent deprived of the use of his hind
legs, went on IN the same manner for
more than quarter Of an hour; then ap-
preaching the edge Of the river bank at
a steep place, he sat down and looked
sadly at the water. Presently, having
finally resolved on his course, he raised
himself on his paralyzed paws, made a
spring, and threw himself into the Loire.

and saw him carried off by the stream,
without making the slightest resistance.
As he came near the bank called gently
and held out my cane that he might take
hold OF it. He made no sign. [ tied
my handkerchief TO the end of my cane
and threw it to him; he turned his head
sadly away and drifed off, | lost sight
OF him at the end of few minutes. He
must, no doubt, have sunk. Feeling per-

blows than crusts, till he preferred vio-

lawsuits are more rare than angels visits.
The defendant confessed. in court, that he had
taken the paper, and had never paid for il, but
