in 1885, at the age of 110, used to say,
"By being old when 1 was young, /
find myself young now I am old. I led
sober, studious, but not lazy or seden-
tary life; my diet was ever sparing,
though delicate my liquors the best
wines of Neres and La Mancha, of which
L never exceeded pint at meal except
In cold weather, when 1 allowed myself
third more l rode and walked every
day, except in rainy weather, when 1
exercised for two hours. So far took
care for the body; and as to the mind,
L endeavored to preserve it in due temp
er by scrupulous obedience to the di-
vine commands, and keeping las the
apostle directs) conscience void of
offense to God and man." j. Jacob, O.
native of Switzerland, "when 127 wears
old, was sent as a deputy to the Nation
al Assembly of France" he died the
following year. Others might be men
toned, but we have only room to add
that, within the past two centuries and
half, ten well-certifed cases of indi-
viduals in England and Wales living to
ages ranging from 1j2 to 200 years, have
occurred and here, in modern times,
we have repeated the length of days
commcnly believed to belong exclusive
ly to the patriarchal ages.
Doctor Van Oven points out the good
that may be accomplished by proper
regimen faithfully followed. This con-
sists in certain general rules, which we
give in his own words
l. Do not take food except when the
appetite demands it; that is, do net re-
cruit the system but when the system
has become exhausted.
.. Let the quantity of restorative
nourlshment be proportioned to the
degree of exhaustion which previous la
bors have induced.
3. Select such food or foods, drink or
drinks, as your own experience and the
general usages of society point out as
best suited to your habits, and easiest of
digestion.
4. Let the food and drinks be varied
and mixed, and when in health do not
torment yourself by too close an atten-
ton to any dietetic rules.
.. Take vegetable infusions, as tea,
coffee, and fermented liquors, in moder-
alton; but avoid distilled spirits alto
geether, except under the guidance of the
physician.
6: Avoid active exertion or study i'm
after taking food.
I. Let prudence govern the passions.
To which may be added, that it is es-
sential to the health and strength of ell
persons to have from six to eight hours
Of sound sleep. A steady observance of
these simple laws will insure the ehighest
health it is possible to attain.

A Dangerous sISIuGr.

The Citv and Country, Nyack, N. Y,
says: On Sunday morning of this week,
a hooded adder, of large size, was killed
near the well on the premises of Mr.. e.
l.. Wright, in this village. These SER
pents are among the most poisonous of
all the reptiles, and are of the same FAM
lily and almost identical with the Cobra
de Capello of India.
On the continent of America they are
met with On the dry and arid plains of
Texas and along the Mexican coast, but
are exceedingly rare this side of the
Mississippi river. After having been
wounded, this adder, finding that he
could not escape, reared his head about
foot from the ground, inflated his hood
enormously, and then struck his fangs
into his own body three times in rapid
succession, and in less than five minutes
he was perfectly dead and as rigid as a
stick, Miss Jennie Wright came very
near treading on him, and it was ex.
ceedingly fortunate that he did not
strike. The fangs were five-eighths of
an inch in length and exceedingly sharp.
The length of the reptile was about
three feet, by three and half inches in
circumference color q tawny orange
with strongly marked black rings. It is
said that there is no antidote for their
poison, and that death ensues in from
thirty to forty minutes after having been
bitten.

The Wonders of Astronomy.

New, or temporary, stars only make
their advent at long intervals, suddenly
blazing forth in the sky with brilliant
light exceeding that of the brightest
planets, being plainly discerned in the
presence of the monday sun, and, after
a short career, disappearing almost as
suddenly as they came. A remarkable
fact in their history is the rarity of their
occurrence. Only twenty-five such stars
have been recorded in the last two
thousand years, counting from the
Chinese catalogue of Mantuanlin, which
goes back to $50 B. G. The present
century numbers but two ON its records,
those of 1S4S and 1866 Not only do
new or temporary stars make their ap-
pearance from time to time, but stars
recorded on ancient catalogues have
disappeared from the heavens in such
numbers as to form a family called lost
stars. Therefore, the class of temporary
stars may be much larger than is gener-
ally supposed, as only the most re-
splendent ones have attracted notice.
When the science of astronomy has
made further progress, it may be estab-
lished that all temporary stars are vari-
able ones whose changes extend over so
vast cycle that we are yet ignorant of
their true periods.
