Mans Age

Few men die of age. Almost all
die of disappointment, passion, mental
or bodily pain, or accident The pas
sions kill men, sometimes very suddenly.
The common expression, "choked with
passion" has little exaggeration IN it,
for even though not suddenly fatal,
strong passions shorten life. Strong
bodied men die young-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, 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 turn, the
weak to burn out. The inferior animals
which live, in general, regular and tenn
perate lives, live generally their sub
scribed term of years. The horse lives
twenty-five years; the OK fifteen or
twenty; the lion twenty; the dog ten Or
twelve; the rabbit eight, the guinea
pig six or seven years. These numbers
all bear similar proportion to the time
the animal takes to grow to its full size.
But man, Of all the animals, is the one
that seldom comes up to the average.
He ought to live a hundred years accord
ing to this physiological law, for five
times twenty are one hundred, but in
stead Of that he scarcely reaches, on an
average. four times his growing period;
the cat six times, and the rabbit even
eight times the standard Of measure,
menJ. The reason is obvious-man is
not only the most irregular and most
incorporate, but most laborious and
hard worked of all animals. He is the
mort irritable of all animals and there
is reason to believe, though he cannot
what animals secretly feel, that more
than any other animal man cherishes
wrath to keep it warm, and consumes
himself with the fire of his own secret
reflections.

An Insepera BILE Couple.

A Duke of Savoy, who made some
pretensions to the city of Geneva, sought
to gain it by surprise. He scaled the
walls by night, but his success was not
equal to his wishes. The alarm being
given that a number of the besiegers
had mounted the walls, the citizens
rushed to arms and repulsed their enc
mics, who were too weak to resist them.
Those who fell into their hands were led
to an ignominious death. Among the
number of prisoners was an officer who
had particularly distinguished himself
for his valor The news of his capture
being carried to his wife, she flew to the
place where her husband was to perish
and demanded to embrace him for the
last time. They refused her this favor,
and the officer was hung without her be-
ing permitted to approach him. She,
nevertheless, followed the dead body Of
her husband to the place were it was ex-
posed. Sne there seated herself by the
melancholy spectacle, and remained with
out taking any nourishment, or suffering
her eyes to be distracted q moment from
the object of her affection. Death, which
she waited for with patience, came at
last, and closed her eyes while she was
stretched over the dead body of her hus-
band.

Mr.. Phillip Remlnger, an old sub

the whole surrounding country, informed

time she had been treated by several

A Touching Home Picture.

The present King of Denmark, IL is
said, is regarded more as an indulgent
father than monarch by his people.
. His kingdom is, fortunately, not too
large for him to maintain a watchful,
kindly guardianship over every village
and district, and many are the stories
told of his sudden interference dixie the
good, powerful genii Of the fairy tales)
in some cases of individual suffering.
His children have inherited his integ-
rity and gentleness; and the simple, sin
cere qualities which would have made
them beloved as peasants have brought
to them passionate homage in their high
positions. Alexandra and Dagmar, the
future Queen of England and Empress
of Russia, are probably more beloved by
the English and Russians, though for
eigners, than any members Of the royal
families into which they have married.
There was something peculiarly simple
and touching IN the domestic life at the
royal palace at Copenhagen during last
Summer. The good old King gathered
all his children and grandchildren about
him AMI the Royal and Imperial High
nesses, old and young, behaved very
much as an American family would do
who lad come home to "grandfather's"
for Thanksgiving.
The little palace was so full that some
of the princes had to be lodged outside
There were family dinners, where the
heirs to the most powerful thrones in
the world told anecdotes of their boys
and babies just like other fond, foolish
parents.
The old King walked out every day,
pleased and proud, with his grandchildren
about him. The pleasantest day of the
Summer, probably, was one when the
Princess of Wales, the Czarina of Rus
STA and the Crown Princess of Denmark
took their children and went out of sight
of everybody to lonely island, not for
state EXCURSION, but for real homely
picnic.
The chillren played in the sand, and
their mothers sat on the beach talking,
no doubt as they did when they were
girls together.
The whole kingdom rejoicel in this
happy homecoming. When the day
for parting came, the entire population
of Copenhagen closed their houses and
repaired to the shore to bid farewell to
their beloved princesses. Women cried
and men shouted as the ship parted her
moorings, and the air was rent with pas
sionate cries of,
"Goodbye Dagmar "
God keep yol, Alexandra "
Opposed to this picture is hat of the
Gar of Russia, whose power is absolute
over the most mighty kingdom in the
world, yet who goes abroad but seldom,
it Is said, and then in an agony Of &C
tual terror for fear of assassination.
