Human Longevity.

eff you want to know how long you
will live" said an eminent English
practitioner, ego and consult the grave
stones of your ancestors" There can
be little doubt that inherited qualities
are widely manifested in this, as we'll as
in other vital phenomena. In fact,
the physical improvement of families
and races would be difficult to effect if
the laws of Inheritance are set at
naught.
Franklin relates in his autobiography
that old people in his village assured
him that his own nature and constitu-
tion were so completely those of one of
his uncles, whose death occurred four
years before Franklin's birth, that if
those events had coincided, they might
have passed for a case of transmigratiOn
OF souls. An equally striking likeness
existed between two brothers, Khasak
and Ourbrusk, sons of Persian prince
who was killed in 1915, in the Russian
service. Khasak, the elder by three
years, usually resided in St. Petersburg,
but often travelled. All Paris knew
| Ourbrusk, who was constantly to be
seen at the libraries, and especially at
every first performance at the lyrical
theaters. To compile the resem mblance,
they both died recently at the age Of
eighty-two.
/ In spite of certain alterations, the
| typical features peculiar to the house of
Guise and Lorraine were transmitted to
all their descendants through long Sc
ries of generations. The Bourbon
cOuntenance, the Condos aquiline nose,
the thick and protruding lower lip, be-
queathed to the house of Austria by q
Polish princess, are well-known in
stances. We have only to look at a
coin of George the Third to be reminded
of the present royal family of England.
During Addison's short ministry, Mrs.
Clarke, who solicited his favor, had
been requested to bring with her the
papers proving that she was MiltOn's
daughter. But as soon as she entered
his cabinet, Addison said, MADAM, I
require no further evidence. Your re-
semblance to your illustrious father is
the best of ALL"
The Count de POnt, who died in 1857
at the age of nearly a hundred, told
DR.. Foissac that, during the Restora-
tion, he often met in the salons a NJ.
Desmousseaux de Givre, prefect OF
Arras, a man at whose approah he
shuddered, as he would at the sight OF
an apparition, so wonderfully was be
like RObespierre. NJ. de Font confided

EDNA.
BY MAX o'R1LEY.


Near by foul, meandering stream, whose
sides are lined by bog,
And o'er whose bosom nightly creeps a dense
malarious fog,
There stands upon the rising ground farm-
house old and gray,
That bears upon its roof and walls the hand OF
slow decay.
Here Edna lives aud here her face looks well
come to her guests,
Who ofttimes seek the old farmhouse to min
gle with her jests;
But some there are who do not come for play
of wit alone;
They come 10 win the heart that beats beneath
her silvery tone.
For of all the country daughters round, there's
none fair as she;
Nor is there one with heart more warm,
half SO gay and free;
And many a swain at parting waits, when faint
gOod-byeS are said,
To look again on tresses dark that crown
1aultlesS head.
And then upon the tapering hand the eyes i'm
pulsive dwell,
AS if within its velvet touch lives all the witch
ing spell.
twas before,
For each one finds in Edna's face some charm
he must adore.
No voice but hers such music gives, no other
eyes such light;
Like some magnetic glow within two ebon
Those eyes at once electrify, then in an instant
freeze
One glance contains the flash of love, the next
the smile to please.
Among the herd of human forms she reigns
the fairy queen,
And sheds around a lOftier light, like angels in
dream.
Long may she live, and may the power that
called her into life
Bless and protect her and the man that some
day calls her wife.

A lady who suspected that her hus-
band was in the habit of kissing Katy,
the maid, resolved to detect him in the
act. After watching for days, she heard
him come in one evening and pass
quietly through into the kitchen. Now,
Katy was out that evening and the
kitchen was dark. Burning with jeal-
ousy, the wife took some matches in her
hand, and hastily placing her shawl
over her head, as Katy sometimes did,
entered the kitchen by the back door
and was almost Immediately siezed and
embraced in the most ardent manner.
With her heart almost bursting with
rage and jealousy, the injured wife pre-
pared to administer terrible re6uke to
her erring spouse. Tearing herself from
his foul embrace, she struck match
and stood face to face with-the hired
man. Her husband says his wife has
never treated him so well since the first
month they were married as she has for
the past few days.

A CURIOUS CAsE.-An eccentric Eng
lishman, fearing that the attacks of GER
tain scientific men upon the Mosaic ac-
count of the creation will result in the
total disappearance from literature Of
the Book of Genesis, has freighted ves-
sci with 10000 tightly-corked bottles,
each containing the story of the Garden
of Eden, and sent them to the Arctic
regions. There the bottles are to be i'm
bedded in the snow, where it is supposed
they will remain until the gradual shift
ing of the earth's axis shall bring about
d climatic change, and the bottles will
be set free, to gladden. the eyes of future
generations. He should have bottled
himself up and gone with them. Fu-
ture generations might perhaps take
him for Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, or even
Noah himself.

TEMPERANCE INFLUENCE.-It is a
common mode of argument among
those who excuse themselves for dlssi-
patton by saying: "What good is done
by temperance societies and temperance
speeches? There is just as much drink
ing as ever" A rapid change has taken
place in relation to using stimulants.
It is now unpopular to be seen about
tippling houses. If man wants en-
pioyment, the question is asked, ''Does
he drink ?" If a young man is to be
married, the question is asked, "DOes
he drink ?" If he applies for member
ship in the Masonic, Odd Fellows,
knights of Pythias, or any other Order,
still the question is, ''Does he drink ?''
And so it is, all business is governed by
the principle of temperance no man
has the confidence of his neighbor if he
drinks. The newspaper organs of the
Orders have hoisted the banner of tenn
perance, and some of the lodges have
established it as rule that a drinking
man, or one who deals in liquor, is moi
! At for membership.
