Occupation and Longevity.

The opinions of country doctors all over the State have, during the past year, been obtained by the Massachu- setts Board of Health, with view to determine the effect of occupation on longevity. It appears that table col lated for twenty eight years shows the average age of farmers at death to be 65 IS years-fgures far in advance of any other calling, and greatly exceeding the lifetime of active mechanics, not in shops, who, averaging 52. 62 years, appear next on the list. The opinions of the physicians consulted also show that the farmer's chances of long life are somewhat greater than those of any other class. As regards general health, there appear to be divided views, the large majority of doctors, however, holding that farmers and their families enjoy better health than most people, while Q respectable minority advocates the reverse.

How AstOr Does Business.

The wealthiest men in New York hold the bonds of the city. They appear in person to look after their interests. On the street and among the great com mercial houses interest is received, money deposited, heavy bills and drafts collected by boys, who get B or $4 8 week for their work. But the heavy men of the city attend to this business ill person. 1 saw Astor in the Comp troller's office the other day. modest, quiet, unassuming man, careful of his words as he is of his dollars. A huge fellow, over six feet high, massive in size, red hair, heavy, phlegmatic, Ger man in look, with a ponderous tread, that made the chandeliers jingle as he walked along and withal he has de- cided stoop. He came in and did not even speak. He nodded "How- do- you do?" The clerk gave him look of subdued recognition, darted off for @ big book, opened it, pointed his finger to the place of signature. The mil lionaire took the pen, placed his name where it ought to be, took the check and passed out.

Baggage-Smasher's Argument,

Do you see that trunk, sir ?" de- manded an indignant traveller of Char ley Bender, the courteous Lake Shore baggage agent, at Toledo, as he sur veyed demolished paoking-box, to which check was hanging that corre- sponded with one he held in his hand. That trunk is ruined, sir, and de- mand damages" "Yes, sir," said the smiling Charley "you ought to have pay for that trunk. People get tender little trunk like that and pack it up for hundred miles journey as if they were going to the pyramids. They put in two or three good sized hams, a crock or two of apple-butter, sack of double X family flour, ten or fifteen pounds of nails, few pounds of shot. new castings for couple of blows, and three or four changes of clothing. Then they lug it down hero at the last min ute with the handle burst off one end, and expect it to go through easy enough to allow horse fly to ride on the end. That's the way your trunks get broken, my dear sir. Thirty y-five, sixty -four, Cleveland branch. All right. Good morning." The indig- nnnt commercial man had not com menced suit against the company up to the hour of going to press.

IT RUNS LIKE PRAIRIE FIRE !-Dr. Walkers Vinegar Bitters runs like a prairie fire. The fame of the temper ance tonic is, however, but poorly ex- emplified by the figure of speech for a prairie fire runs only y in one direction, whereas the reputation of the Bitters spreads toward all points of the compass. There is not square mile of inhabited territory in the United States where this meritorious preparation is not appreci- ated. If any theoretical gentleman thinks he is prepared to show that there is nothing in it," we advise him to go to the Prairie States, in the Mississippi Valley, to the deltas of the Southern rivers, to New England, in fact, any where within the limits of "Uncle Sam s real estate" and vehtilate his views By so doing he can raise heartier and more general laugh than has ever yet shaken the sides of an intelligent people, Persons who have been cured can't help laughing at other people, who tell them that the medicine which saved their lives is failure. .-C Com.

Treating the Wrong Disease.

Many times women call upon their family physicians, one with dyspepsia, another with palpitation, another with trouble of the breast, another with pain here and there, and in this way they all present, alike to themselves and their easy gong and indifferent doctors, separ- ate and distinct diseases, for which he pre- scribes his pills and potions assuming tRem to be such, when, in reality, they are all symptoms caused by some uterine disorder ; and while they thus ouly able perhaps to palliate for time, they are ignorant Of the cause, and encourage their practice until large bills are made when the suffering patients are no better ih the end, but probably worse for the delay, treatment, and other complications made, and which proper medicine directed to the cause would have entirely removed, thereby insttuting health and comfort instead Of prolonged misery.
