If we lived in Japan, we should
probably escape many diseases from
which, as people, we now suffer Sc
verely---that is, if in Japan we would
live as the japanese do in regard to the
thorough ventilation of their houses.
A distinguished physician of Yokohama
says that scarlet fever is almost unknown
there, and never epidemic. So also
diphtheria. Typhoid and typhus
fevers are rarely epidemic, and all ma
larial diseases are uncommon.

BosTos Transcript: During the past
twelve months no less than twenty-six
centenarians died in the United States,
whose aggregate age was 1892 years.
The Oldest among them-though his
claims we're stoutly disputed-was Cap
tain Lahrbrush, who died last April, in
New York, at the age of one hundred
and eleven. One of the most interesting
cases was that of Augustin Picard, who
died at Rochester, n. Y, at the age of
one hundred and nine His father is
said to have lived to the age of one hun
bred and eight, and his mother to one
hundred and four, while sister, one
hundred and nine years old, is still alive
in Quebec. Picard was an inveterate
smoker, scarcely i'll for day in his life.
Fifteen of the twenty-six were women,
and of the eleven males one was colored.

he has vsulted into his saddle; he brushes
away the servant who holds his bit with i'm

The animal clears it with the activity and

Despite his self-command the traveller
Bpled. He at once retired with the gentle
men, however, to the piazza, and the doctor
moved to assist bis patient.
In short while he, too, joined the party
on the piazza. Nothing had passed between
the group until the doctor broke painful
constraint which had fallen upon all. n
Gentlemen" said he "the worst mis-
hap that could befall this unfortunate lady
has just occurred through her having seen
this gentleman, Mr.. Durer. She is a raving
maniac. She may die, she may recover after
lingering illness; in any event, she will
be fortunate if she ever RECEIVERS her reason.
Darkness had settled upon her brain for
long night, which may never be followed by

The squire, Mr.. Taylor, the traveller, and
the doctor together proceeded to the bedside
of the unfortunate woman, the stranger
being assured of his release by the words of
the squire-frst ordering servant to bring
his horse to the door before leaving the
piazza.
Upon reaching the bed the woman opened
her eyes, and, seeing the kind, manly faces
of the squire and Mr.. Taylor, she family
smiled, and ran her eyes over the rest of the
group.
She passed the doctor without any vari-
ance of expression, and then rested them
upon the face of the stranger.
The eyes became set in horrible stare,
the light forsook them, the pupils dilated :
she raised herself to sitting posture by a
convulsive movement of the arms then,
crouching to her knees and throwing her.

they have carried their cooking. During
recent Chinese banquet at San Fran

dogs, living on the prairie iar away from
any river or stream, obtain their water.

that the dogs dig their own wells, each

one such well 200 feet deep and having a

THE MAZABINE BIBLE.-At a meeting
of the Connecticut Historical Society in
Hartford, the chetlnterest gathered about
the exhibition of one of the rarest and
most valuable books in the world. Dir.
Trumbull brought out the Mazarine Bi
Bile, belonging 10 the collection of the late
George Brinley. This is one OF the only
two copies in America, ard there are only
six in the world. 1t WAS printed in 1850.
Two years ago, two copies were sold ut
auction in London in the same sale, and
one printed upon paper brought $4,000,
gold. Usually velum copy of any
work brings four or five times as much rs
II paper one; but the history of the Mazs-
rine Bible raises the value of the paper
copies relatively TO thoss on velum. Gu
tenberg printed the first copies in 1876 snd
those were on paper; in 1866, Faust got
possession of the types, and his edition
WAS partly on.vellum. These consequent
ly, are not SO completely "orignal." The
Drlnley copy Is on paper-One ol tne Roi'-
uine Gutenberg prints, and is marvel Of
the printers work. It's equal could not be
made to day. The ink, though four hun
dred years old and more, is rs distinct as
ink coald be, and the paper is still white
and clear. The register" is perfect, and
the appearance OF the page surpresses that
of the best modern books. The work is
printed in Latin, with number ofcurious
contract sy N bols in the text, used to space
the lines evenly. Three different ways Of
the letter IS" broad, moderate wide,
and narrow-are examples Of the care
taken in this respect. This volume WA
probably bound about hundred years
after printing, and must have been hidden
away for centuries in some monastery.

printed with movable type.-HarVord

How TO OBTAIN TROPICAL PLANTS
An old but good story is the following
DR.. Fothergill, an English botanist and
physician of note in the eighteenth cen
tury, successfully treated ship captain
who arrived at London i'll of yellow fever.
The doctor would take no money for his
services, but requested the captair to
bring him two barrels of earth from Bor-
neo. At length the earth was brought
and the doctor, having burned the sur
face of piece Of ground very thoroughly,
sprinkled the Borneo earth upon 1t. The
resul. was that 100 different sorts Of new
ana curious plants sprung up. These
novelties in Horticulture, including gera-
NUNS, have since been dffused through
out the gardens of England. In the'e
days, when the introduction ofnew plants
is seduousiy pursued, it is surprising that
the method of DR.. Fothergill has not
been more extensively tried. as commu-
nicaiion with tropical regions Of germ
charged soil is infinitely more frequent
now than then.

by a blow on the head from some heavy
instrument in the hands OF one, that fol
days his life was considered exceedingly
doubtful.
The news came upon Lily without
warning. She was bending over som,
