Sing me song Of the long ago,
Sing if you please of Tom and Joe,
Those friends of ours in bygone days
With kindly hearts and winning ways
And when you've done, sing once again,
Some nearer by remembered strain,
That breathes of the heart 5 devotion true,
Since none are left but and you.
And as we journey on through life,
Free, let us hope, from its care and strife,
The sweet sad memories of by gone years
Will oft come back thro' our smiles ana
tears.
For those happy days will ever be,
The sweetest of all to you and me,
And of all the friends we've had / know,
There was none so true as Tom and Joe.

A COnundrIm Solved.

The Concord School of Philosophy
having requested the assistance of the
Lime-kiln Club in solving the conun-
drum of why the people of this age do
not live as long as those of early days,
the matter was given to the Committee
on Judiciary to investigate. They now
expressed a readiness to report, as
follows:
"Dis committee had no trubble to
find plenty of reasons BARN on de in
quiry. In de fust place, de taxes am
so high dat no man kin afford to lib ober
a hundred Vars. In olden days a man
could tell his wife to git long away if
she didn't please him. In dis aige he
has to stick by her and fight it out. Dis
has an influence to make him sigh fur a
change to de evergreen shores. None
of dose ole chaps had a second shirt to
his back, an none dreamed of tryin' to
put on style. Look about you in dis
aige an see de coat-tails, sleeve-but-
tons, diamond pins an odder gewgaws
which bow down a mans head in sor-
row to de grave! In de time of de
prophets dar was no means of scoOtin'
aroun' de kentry an takin' in de sights,
In dis aige, arter man has bin to New
York, Washington, Chicago an few
odder places, he am up stump fur a
change of scenery, an he materially
wants to be pushin' on lords de pearly
gates. Dis committee am of de OpinyUn
dat de modern man who reaches de aige
OF 100 Vars ought to be perfectly salts
fed to hand up his ticket to de cOnduc-
tor. He gifts more trottin' horse-mOre
store clothes-mOre alligator butes-
more picnics more ice cream an oys-
tiers an whateber else goes to make hui
man natur' smile all ober in a gloomy
day in dat little time dan Methusaler

The Development Of FungOid Diseases.

The Boston Herald prints long in
terview with an eminent specialist of
that city on the subject of pulmonary
consumption, which, it is well known,
is permanent habit of the New England
coast towns. The following passage
copied from that interview upon the too
common habit of shutting out light and
air from our sitting-roomS has value and
force in many other localities:
"What are the conditions favorable
to the development of consumption?
"There are many. Among the most
active, proper to be mentioned here,
are bad air, darkened rooms, no sun
light, exposure, dampness, etc. To
raise mushrooms for eating you select
a dark, damp place. That is, these
conditions are favorable to the develop
ment of fungi. Now, yeast is fungus.
All hOusekeepers are familiar with the
best modes of its cultivation in the rails
inc of bread. Those who would agree
with the Salisbury plans are prepared
to see that, if people keep themselves
continuously shut up in dark rooms to
keep out flies and save the carpets,
breathe the bad air, ETC., they are put
ting themselves into a condition favora-
BILE to the development of fungoid
growths on and in their systems. More
over, why the Bowditch dogma of
dampness in localities is favorable to
consumption is because this is one of
the conditions of cryptogamic growth
1t is fact long noticed that New En-
gland people, to go no further, keep
their houses shut as if air and sunlight
were the natural enemies of mankind.
Ride five miles in a carriage on COM
mon highway, anywhere in this State,
and | venture to say that nine-tenths of
the houses will be seen to have their
blinds closed and windows shut. l
think such proceedings are often invita-
tions to consumption. 1 suppose the
reason is, not that the people do not
love their health, but that they love
their carpets and hate flies more"

Prehistoric Mexico.

Very interesting discoveries have been
made by NJ. Desire Charnay in ancient
cemeteries high up on the slopes of the
volcanoes Popocatapetl and Itztacci-
hutal. The burial place on the latter
mountain is high above the line of veg
citation. Just below it is small valley
almost concealed on three sides by a
natural bulwark of stupendous rocks.
Access to this singular dell seemed at
first impossible, in fact was so difficult
as to lead M. Charnay to doubt the ira
dition of Chichimecan village having
existed in such place. Excavations
have led to the supposition that this
narrow valley had been a temporary
refuge of the Toltecs, perhaps as early
as the year 600. 1t bore evidence too
of having been inhabited by the Chichi-
MEGA Indians. Idols and household
utensils similar tc those found in ruined
Chichimecan villages were dug up from
a depth of from three to four feet. Sim
gularly, too, there were found near the
surface Aztec relics, which proved that
at a comparatively recent date this nat
ural stronghold had served as a place of
concealment for third tribe. Tradi-
ton says that after the Spanish con-
quest in 1920 few spirited Aztecs and
Tlatelolcos, rather than submit to sla-
very or accept the doctrines of the in
vaders, fled with their "lares and
penates" to this mountain fastness and
subsisted on corn, frijoles and other
vegetables, burying their dead as near
the "snow line" as possible. Many
Aztec idols, vases and jars were I'M
earthed there. SCIENTIFIC American.
