Earadar,s TheOrY of Life.

The late Prof. Faraday, it is stated,
adopted the theory that the natural acc
of man is 100 years. The duration OF
life he believed to be measured by the
time of growth. Thus in the camel the
union takes place at eight years; in the
horse at five; in the lion at four; in the
dog at two; in the rabbit at one. The
natural termination is five removes
from these several points. Now, man
being twenty years in growing, lives
five times twenty years-that Is, 100
years; the camel is eight years in grow
ing, and lives forty years; and so with
other animals. Prof. f. divides life
into equal halves-growth and decline
and these into infancy, youth, virility
and age; infancy extending to the twen-
tieth year, youth to the ffftieth-because
it is in this period the tissues become
fiam-virility from fifty to seventy-five
during which the organism remains
complete-and at seventy-tive old age
commences.

Memphis Avalanche.
Eddie, the son of n prominent mCr-
chant in a neighboring town 10 Gre
NADIA, is only two months on his way TO
his sixth year. His father says Eddie
has been "A ''ladies' man" ever since he
was two years or age. But 10 was only
two weeks ago that he succeeded in
finding his Psyche, who so rutblessly
plunged the love-poisoncd dart into his
young soul that the simple name "Mil-
dred' was metamorphosed into he ten
deTer ramc sweetheart The village
school closed, and before Psyche LETT Tor
her country home she broke the secret
and her lovers heart by telling him
that she loved his brother be.tcr than
she did him. When the father came
home Eddie huttnn-holed him and
ssbbed out: "Papa, papa, Mildred said
she won't have mc.' ooh, son, she
was only Joking" "N-u-o s-sir, she

There being mo balm la Gileadn tor his

securely fastened the loose end ot the

4 Warming to Cigarette Smokers.

Some of the cigarettes which are
smoked to so great an extent, says an
exchange, are said to be dangerous ar
ticles. A physician had one of them
analyzed, and the tobacco was found to
be strongly impregnated with opium,
while the wrapper, which was warrant
ed TO be rice paper, was proved TO be
the most ordinary quality of white pa
per, whitened with arsenic, the two
poisous combined being present in sutli-
cient quantities to create in the smoker
the habit of using opium, without being
aware OF it, and which craving can only
be satisfied by an incessant use OF ciga-

The moon sends down her silver rays,
And here and there a star is seen
That spArkles with dazzling sheen;
With longing eyes l upward gaze,
While thought and fancy traverse ways
Beyond the range of vision, far
Beyo the farJhest, fainting star.

A sunny cline with shady bowers,
A land of fairest fruits aud flowers,
Of sights, and sounds, and songs sublime;
Peyond the boundary line of Time
This land of olden story lies;
At times we call it paradise.
In thet far country, we are told,
A high eternal city stands
city builded not with hands
Those gates and walls OF pearl and gold
With splendor glisten, as of old
They looked and shone ere man was made
Or earJh's foundation stones were laid.

While all his subjects tribute bring,
And seraphim of many wing
Before him in the sacred place,
With reverence veil their feet and face.
