He never has anything Of i'm

While he is talking to you he is

talk for three hours and u quarter;
and when he has got through you
feel as weak IS though you had

Long-winJed takers arc the

WICKED INGEsUITY.-Onc the
subtle methods of catching fish, en-
ployed for years by poachers in
England, is to fill a large Stone
bottle with quicklime, then to
pour in water enough to nearly
fill the jar, and cork it up, sccur-
ing the cork to the neck Of the
bottle by copper wire. The bot
tie is thrown into the water, and
the pressure, caused by the work
ing of the lime, explodes the bot
tie and stuns the fish, which then
float hclplessly on the surface Of
the water.

4 NEW WEAPON.

The New Orleans Picayune
gives the annexed description of
the ncatcSt instrument for a street
tiyh: that has yet been produced:
It is 4 weapon with a sinister and
cynical appearance that would
make even the bravest man trem-
bic. 1t consists first of an ordinary
pair Of brass knuckles, rather
sharp, in order to produce telling
effect. To one one end is attach
ed ! gimlct knife, to the other a
revolver, whose trigger forms one
of the divisions Of the brass
knucklc. Thus armcda man m Oh:
defy an army. II he were to get
hold Of one individual man, the
effect is appalling; every blow he
strikes with the knuckles would
not only break the assaulted per-
sons skull, but lodge a halfdozen
bullets in his heart, while the gim-
let attachment is cutting away at
his throat. A man who had been
treated to that weapon would be
killed at least dozen times be-
fore he knew what was the mat
ter; not only killed, but so bat
tered, bruised, and cut to pieces,
that i sardinc box would prove a
roomy coffin for his remains
Somebody ought to name the
weapon; it deserves q name
1t is small, but telling in its ef-
fects.

The LENGTHENING YEARS OF
MAN.-In an interesting paper by
Dr.. Edward Jarvis, in the fifth an
nual report of the Massachusetts,
board ofhealth, the following vital
statistics, past and present, Of va
rious countries, strikingly show
how the advance Of civilization
has prolonged life: In ancient
Rome, in the period of 200 to 800
years after the christian era, the
average duration of life in the
most favored class was 30 years.
In the present century the av-
erage longevity Of persons of the
same class is so years. 10 the
sixteenth century the average
longevity in Geneva was 2l.2l
years; between 1914 aud 1888 it
was 4O6S, and as large portion
now live to 70, rs lived to 43, 300
years ago. In 1893 the British
government borrowed money by
selling annuities on lives from in
fancy upward, on the basis Of the
average longevity. The treasurer
received the price and paid the
annuitics regularly. as long as the
annuitants lived. The contract
was mutually satisfactory and pro-
titablc. Nincty-seven years later,
Mr.. Pitt issued another tontinc or
scale Of annuities, on the basis Of
the same expectation Of life as in
the previous century. These later
annuitants, however, lived so much
longer than their predecessors:
that it proved to be a very costly
loan for the government. 1t was
found that while 10000 of each sex
in the first tontine died under the
age of % only 5,772: males, and
9.416 females in the second tontinc
died at the same age Of 100 years
later. Thcaverage life ofthc annui,
tants OF 1893 was 26.5 years, while
shosc Of 1890 lived 33 years and 8
months after they were 80 years
old. From these facts, says DR.
Jarvis, it is plain that life, in many
forms and manifestations. and pro
badly in all, can be expended in
vigor. intensity and duration, un
der favorable circumstances amiC
which, and the conditions il
which, any form Of life is placed
should be brought into harmony
with the law appointed for itssse
ing.

Poetry.
LOVE; WINTER.
BY ROBERT BUCHANAN.

ooh. love is like the roses,
And every rose shall fall,
For sure as Summer closes
They perish, one and all.
Then love, while leaves are on the trees,
And birds sing in the bowers;
When winter comes, too late twill be
To pluck the happy flowers.
1t is maiden singing,
An ancient girl, in soo,h;
The dizzy room is ringing
With hGr shrill song of youth;
The white keys sob as swift she tries
Each shrill and shricking scale:
"Oh, love is like the roScs!' cries
This muslincd nightingale.
In dark corner doing
| close my eyes and ears,
And call up, while reposing,
A glimpse from other years;
A genre-piciure, quaint and Dutch,
! see from this dark seat
IT'S full of human brightness, such
AS makes remembrance sweet.
