STARTLING SEQUEL OF RoBBERIEs.-
During the last year there have taken
place in Roseville, Pa, three robberies
by a masked band. The first took place
about one year ago when q blacksmith
named Monroe, who had just been paid
50, ,6OO-a legacy-was surprised at mid
night in his house by three masked
men, who by threats and torture COM
PEELED him to hand over the whole of
the above amount. A few months later
the Office of Webber's extensive tannery
was broken into, the watchman bound,
the safe blown open, and $50, 900 abb
stracted. In February last five men,
masked, effected an entrance into the
house of Francis Beilman, an old Ger
man miser living a mile out of the vii
lage, and by burning the old man with
wisps of straw, holding him over fire,
and subiecting him to other cruel treat
ment, they compelled him to deliver up
to them 81 600. A mistress of a young
man named Webber, the son of the rich
est citizen of Roseville, and the owner of
the tannery that was robbed, has Just
testified that young Webber planned
the robberies. She produced letters
from Webber corroborating her evil
dence, and he has been arrested and
confessed the crime. His father bailed
him out and he then fed.

IEHKRIrKD LONGEVITY. = Everyone
has noticed that nearly all the members
of some families die aged, while those of
others are gone before what would be
called the middle age Of the former. It
is q common and correct remark that
some are as old at forty as others are at
sixty; the latter will, in fact, be more
likely to live twenty years than the
former. The years q person has lived
is by no means the most important ele-
ment for judging how many he may
probably live, nor Is present health Of
much more consequence, since It is
often the case that families are very Wig
orous and healthy while they live, yet
are not long-lived. They inherit healthy
but short lives.
Notice the Laplanders. Observe the
citizens Of Zurich, Switzerland, very
healthy, but seldom reaching the age Of
sixty; while members of one Italian
family living in their midst since the
sixteenth century, reached the age of
eighty or ninety. The Welsh are the
longest-hved people in Europe. The
Scotch are longer lived than the English,
and the Irish shorter lived, yet they are
all healthy as people.
On the other hand, some who do not
have robust health are noted to live
long. 1t is said that they attain old age
because they take such excellent care Of
themselves. Yet, though it is not de-
MED that the care is useful, it will be
usually found that they had at least one
long-hved parent, and thus inherited
longevity from one side, if not from
both; for, though it is often the case
that those die young who have long
lived ancestry, it is very seldom that
any person lives to be more than year
or two older than any of his ancestors
parents, grandparents, etc.

HoElNo GARDRN.-Now is the time
when the farmer wishes his garden stuff
was in long rows, so as to cultivate with
a horse. Why will not men remember
from one year to another that the farm
garden becomes almost worthless from
neglect at this season or a little later
and all because it is not arranged to be
worked with a horse. The farm work
must not be neglected, and day out TO
hoe garden is a great deal, but if the
horse could do it the day would shrink
into an hour.

Frightening Children.

They are easily terrified, these little
ones, and the mother who would
strengthen the nerves of her children,
should have her own under absolute
control. We have more than once seen
q woman into whose hands q child had
been given to love and rear, who never
even once imagined that when she
screamed at the sight of venturesome
mouse, or the graceful spinning down
of q spider, or q fash of lightning, that
she so shocked the nerves of her child
and 80 thrilled them that they were
never at peace again. The scream that
she utters may leave no visible wound
In the body of her little one, but the
hurt is none the less severe, and the
pain viii return again and again to It
whenever it sees the small and very
likely harmless insect which suggested
to its mother the terror which she trans
ferred TO her child. We have known g
mother gather her children into bed at
midday, and silently lie trembling With
dread Of lightning fash, until she has
made the young lives of her family q
burden to them wherever there is prom
Use Of q Summer storm. OF course
there is danger during an electric dis
turbance, and mother may tell her
children that the center of the room,
with the windows and doors closed, if
there be no chimney in the apartment
is safer place than q doorway or an
open easement; but she need not fright
en- them by manifest timidity. The
time of real danger she should make
one of very serious use to herlittle ones
by showing them the value of cool self
possession, prompt action, or heroic pa
tience-to teach them how to guard
themselves from danger.
