Mans Age.

Few men die of age. Almost all die
of disappointment, passion, mental or
bodily toll, or aooidnnt Tho raas;o.as
kih men sometimes, even suddenly.
The common expression chOked with
passion, has little exaggeratiOn in III;
for even though not suddenly fatal,
strong passions shorten life. Strong
bodied men often die eyoung-weak men
live longer than the strong, for the
strong use their strength, and the weak
have none to use. The latter take care
of themselves and the former do not.
As it is with the body. so it is with the
mind and temper. The strong are apt
to break, or, like the candle, to run,
the weak to burn out. The inferior
animals, which live temperate lives;
have generally their prescribed number
of years. The horse lives twenty five;
the OK fifteen or twenty; the lion about
twenty; the dog ten or twelve; the
rabbit eight; the guinea pig six or
seven years. These numbers all bear
a similar proportion to the time
the animal takes to grow to its
full size. But man, of the animals, is
one that seldom lives this average. He
ought to live hundred years. accord
ing to physical law, for five times
twenty are one hundred, but instead of
that he scarcely reaches on an average
four times his growing period; the
cat six times; the rabbit even eight
times the standard of measurement.
The reason is obvious-man is not only
the most irregular and the most intem-
perate, but the most laborious and
hard-worked of all the animals. He is
also the most irritable OF all animals;
and there is no reason to believe
though we cannot tell what an animal
secretely feels, that, more than any
other animal, man cherishes wrath to
keep it warm, and consumes himself
with the fire of his own secret reflection.

Mirror Photographs.

According to the DeutSche AHqenleine
Zeitang, German, named Karl Stein
bach, has made an important discov-
cry in photography. After years of
study and experiment, he has sue
ceeded in obtaining a chemical compo-
sition, by means of which a mirror
image may be fixed and sold as pho
tograph. With this composition the
mirror surface is painted, and the back
part of the mirror receives also IA coat
ing of oil. The mirror thus prepared
is held before the person who is to be
photographed: The oil coating evap-
crates, and the likeness of the person
remains in natural colors on the light
surface. The image, so fixed, is brought
in to bath, and is exposed half an
hour to sunlight, before delivery. A
rich capitalist in Peru, it is said, has
acquired this invention for $400, 900,
and large establishments. are to be
formed in North and South America

oats is 81 against 103 last year. Rye, barley

Insect Powder.

In this number we publish an arti-
Gle on California grown Pyrethratma,
from which insect powder is made.
We received two samples of the
powder from Mr.. Milco, one dried in
the sun, and the other in the shade,
both OF which we found equally eff
cacious in the destruction of insects.
Mr.. Milco also sent US bellows for
distributing The powder, which is
much superior to any we have hlth-
erto seen. He has over a million
plants now growing, and expects to
make q good thing Of it. We wish
him success. tlhere is no reason to
prevent the industry being success
fully carried, out in Florida. The
price of the genuine powder is 50
very high that few people can use it.
and in climate like ours, rife with
insect life, it is absolutely necessary
in every house. We were the first
to call attention to the efficacy ofthis
powder in destroying aphides and
curculio on fruit trees, and ground
orickets, and ants inthe garden, but
others COPY Ing fromsus have Claimed
it as a wonderful discovery Kof their
own. Foreground crickets, it is nee
essary to scrapelof the little mound
of earth on 1.-The top Of the burfow,
and drop in the hole as much powder
as can be taken gup on the point of
the blade of a pen-knite, and no more
crickets viii disturb you from that
hole. Ants nests should first be
stirred to bring out the ants and then
the powder blown en- them through
the bellows and a pinch thrown in
the nest. This is to be repeated sew
eral times in the case OF the ants.
For curculio, the powder should be
blown into the trees on a calm night.
The powder, ifgenuine, is sure death
to feas, roaahes, scorpions and flies,
and every kind Of insect

A Craft to Suit Florida Waters.

/ A .nnhserlber. cortland Maine,
sends Us the following description Of
steam vessel which he considers
suited to the waters Of the Hal
itax, and Indian river and Upper St.
Johns. The Portland -Ecanai'eer
says Of this vessel: =
There will be launched from the
blocks at Fish Point under the Eastern
Promenade, the centre-board steam
schooner E. D. Sudbury, which has been
building the past three months She is
an odd looking craft, the like of which
exactly was never built before. She is
constructed for special purpose, that
of freghter in the shallow, harbors of
Texas, Louisiana and Mexico, She is
t-bottom and her dimensions are l42
feet in length over all, thirty-one feet
beam and seven feet two inches deep,
l283 tons burthen and draws but three
feet of water. Mr.. Daniel Weber, of
Knightville; the veteran builder, says
thatlhe never has builtga vessel SO good
and thorough in every respect. lime
and expense have not been spared. She.
is of mixed timber from the Canton
mills The ceiling and oltsid de planking
is lock. scarfed, SO that It is impossible
for the planks to draw apart Longitude
nally, and edge-bolted. There are iron
hanging knees, and all the lron work
above is galvanized. She us copper
fastened throughout below There are
two heavy hooks and pointer forward
and heavy transom knee aft. There are
two centre boards and a keelson the en-
tire length and depth of the hull solid
and bolted to the beams. ars gg @s cT#
She win be schooner-rigged with four
masts carrying $500 yards of sail. She
is also furnished with two incline en-
gines of eighty horse power. The cylln-
ders are ten inches square with a four
teen inch stroke. The boiler is steel,
tubular cone. There are two propellers
five feet in diameter with four fans each.
There are two convenient houses ait.
one for the captain and the other Tor the
mate and other officers, and forward is
the galley and forecastle. Common
steering apparatus is used as being pre-
ferable. There are two large hatch
ways. Forward is one of the American
Ship Windlass Co.'S fine windlasses
furnished by G. NJ. Stanwood ~ Go.
There are four anchors and two boats.
q There will be crewso ten men, The
vessel will carry about 700 tons OF dead
weight, or 400, 900 feet Iof pine lumber.
She is named for wealthy lumber mer-
chant of Corpus Christi, Texas. Though
built here, on account of the greater
cheapness, she will hail from Boston,
and soon after launching will proceed
to New York and load for Corpus
