were SO bright that the doctor felt quite
uncomfortable when they were turned
upon him. Miguel said that the secret
OF his living century or two was very
simple simply never getting drunk and
never overfeeding. ~ eat only once a
day, big. hearty meal. which it often
takes ME half an hour to get through
With; but yon see it is not possible in

digest in the next twenty-four. I" He
went on to say that he had not made up
bis mind about meat, but did not eat
much OF it. He tasted on the first and
middle days of each month, eating moth
ing, but drinking all the water be could
swallow. He always let cooked food
alone bsfore tasting it; and to this pre-
canton is attributed the fact that bis

years ago. DR.. Hernandez was informed

The English Grain Trade,

London, Jan. S.-The Mark Lane Ex-
press review of the British corn trade
for the past week says: Sustained by
political apprehensions, and strength
ened by an increased consumptive de-
mand, the present position of the wheat
trade is strong, and in spite of the large
arrivals of foreign wheat, prices have
been steady maintained. Speculation
is wanting, but healthy stimulus has
been found in the supply of the legiti-
mate requirements Of millers, who have
purchased without much reserve at
rather higher prices. Maize remains
about the same, firm on the spot, owing
to limited supplies, and rather easier
off coast under pressure of the numer-
Gus arrivals of cargoes. At ports of
call the market has varied little for
spring corn, but slight Improvement,
both in value and demand, is noted for
oats. The Mark Lane Express crop
returns for the year 1877 show that,
except hay, all crops have been much
below the average. The wheat crop has
been the most deficient of all, SIX of
four hundred and nine returns repre-
senting it as over the average, and no
less than 1863 describing it as below.
According to the tables it was even a
worse crop than that of 1875, which was
the most deficient crop previously had
during fifteen years. The barley crop,
too, was, the smallest grown within the
same period.
