Small Potatoes.

4 correspondent Of a leading publica-
ton writes that he made au experiment
the past season which he thinks fully
eXplodes the theory that small seed po-
tatocs will only return a small crop Of
small potatoes. Any theory of that Kind
was exploded We suppose before the
winter was born, and the whole letter is
an admirable illustration Of q class who
are continually imcyiug they are pX-
plodlng when there is really nothing to
explode.
sin there is some misapprehcnsion as
to this small potato seed business, and II
may be worth while to set it right. ltis
not the size Of the potato, but the yigor
and strength Of the eyes on The potato,
that makes up The case. These are often
u, large ON potato of moderate size ms
ON very large one, If the eyes are Of
the same strength-of equal ygor--it is
the same as if they were all cut from
same tuber. A strong eye starts to grow
and almost Immediately sends out roots

How Long Man May Live.

1t was PROF. llulelanu opinion lnal
the limit of possible human life might
be set at 200 years. This on the general
principle that the life Of a creature Is
eight times the years Of il, period of
growth. That which is quickly formed
quickly pcrishcs and the earlier complete
development is reached The sooner bOdi-
" decay cnsues. More women reached
old are than men, but more men attain
ed remarkable longevity than TOmcn.-
Some animals grow 10 be very old 80
Horned animals live shorter lives than
those without horns, fierce longer than
timd, and amphibious longer than those
which inhabt the air. The voc uiOus
pike exists, it is said, to an age Of l2O
years; the turtle is good for hundred
wears or more; and among birds the gol-
den eagle Is known to have lived nearly
two hundred years or more: while the
sly and sombrc crow reaches the vcncra-
bic age of century. Passing up in the
scale OF life to man and skipping the pN-
triarchs we find many recorded instances
of longevity among the classic Greeks
and Romans. Pliny notes chat in lhe
reign of the Emperor Nespasian. in the
year '1G, there were 12l men living in
the limited area between the Apprentices
and the Po of 100 years and upward,
three of whom were 10, and four over
lB5. Cicero's wife lived TO the age of
1903. and the Roman actress lucejl play
ed in public rs late as her 18Th year.
Coming down 10 more recent times the
most notable authentic instance of great
longevity II that Of II. Jenkins, Of York
shrc, Eng, who died IN 1870, 100 years
old lie was u fisherman and nt the age
Of 100 easily swan across rapid rivers.
Another historic ease ~ that Of Thomas
Parr, Of Shropshire, day Iaborcr, who
lived at the age Of l52 years. when
more than 12O he married his second
wife, and til 1870 he could swing the
scythe aud WELD the fail with the best
Of his.trllOw laborcrs. In hi' lj2nd
year Parr went mp to London 10 exhibit
himself to the King, II proved au I'M
lucky visit, for violating the abSlcmjous
| habit Of n century and q half the Old
man lra.tcd 50 freely ON the royal yictu-
| ais that he soon died merely OF plelhO-
w. On examination his internal organs
proved to be In excellent condition, ana
| there was no reason why he should not
have lived much longer save for this I'M
fortunate taste Of royal hospitality
Prof. llufcloll of cenlaiaus include
many more remarkable cases, among
them that of Milllgstedt, Prussian sol
dicr who served G7 years under both
Fredcrlcks, fighting many battles and
enduring much hard campaigning, and
who after all this married succcs,iyoIy
three wives, the last when he was 10,
| only two years before his death.

God) was actuated by Gods spirit. And
so with every instance of dancing APP
proved, given in Gods word, it was as
much an exercise Of praise to God, as
shouting is now. Then the spirit that
actuates the modern dance is worldly,
feshly and carnal: No one can engage
in it and be christian. The whole ten
or of Gods word proves this. ''lf ye
live after the flesh We shall die; but if
We, through the spirit do mortify the
deeds of the flesh ye shall live" "To
be carnal minded is death" For the
carnal mind is not subject to the law of
God, neither in deed can be-" "Ye
adultercrs and adulteresses, know ye not
the friendship of the world is enmity to
God. For if you love the world the love
of the Father is not in you. What fel-
lowship hath righteousness with UNI
righteousness and what communion
hath light with darkness? And what
concord hath Christ with Beial? or
what part hath he that believeth with
an infdcl? and what agreement hath the
temple of God with idols 2" "Thcrefore
come ont from among them, and be ye
separate saith the Lord, and touch not
the unclean thing, and | will receive
you, and will be father unto you. and
We shall be my sons and my daughters,
saith the Lord Almighty" | now as
sert that such is the antagonism of the
spirit of modern dancing to Gods spirit,
that if u true Christian were to yolun-
tarily take his seat in the modern dance,
as a spectator, for one hour, the spirit OF
God would be driven out of the heart
No one will engage in the dance unless
they love it, for love is the spring of ac-
ton, and if they love it, they cannot be
christian. A religion that does not de-
stroy the love for the worldly amuse-
ment, is not such as the Bible teaches,
and will never save the soul. Let the
church break this covenant with death
and this league with hell" and divorce
herself from this unholy alliance with
the world or God will disown her eff
forts, while moral death, like Il pail of
might, will curse the world.

Enrich Bros, Of Eighth Avenue, New
York, are out betimes with the New Pre-
mium List of Ehrichs' Fashion Quarterly
for 1881; ANA it is astonishing to see
what ample Inducements they are able
to offer to canyassers. Their system of
combination subscriptions and subscrip-
tion premiums is highly ingenious, and
renders it possible for an energetic cam
Vasser to obtain handsome cash rcmlm-
Grafton for his or her labor. Among the
new premiums are some very beautiful
illuminated Scripture Tablets and Cards,
which will be appreciated by all who
are interested in Sunday School and
Church work.
Accompanying the premium list is an
interesting pamphlet entitled: "Shop-
ping in New York,' which gives an an
mated description Of the system and
economy of Il great New York store, as
well as an illustrated price list of Il host
of articles Of general necessity, which
may be ordered by mail or express. A
genuine novelty, introduced for the first
time in this pamphlet, Is the system Of
furnishing unmade dresses in certain
styles, of which illustrations are given.
For fixed price, the purchaser receives
the pattern and the entire material for
making up including lining, sewingsilk
buttons, and, in short, everything but
the needle and thimble. The advantage
Of this system, TO a lady who wishes to
do her own sewing, is obvious.
The two pamphlets can be obtained by
sending postal card with the address
to Enrich Bros, 2S5 to 205 Eighth Ave
nue., New York.

ICOMMuNICATED.l

In my ordination to the ministry am
solemnly pledged to oppose all errors In
the church. AS my former articles on
modern dancing was intended for out
slders, now wish to write for the benc-
tit of church members.
In the outset we lay our platform, viz
that every passage of scripture, and ey-
cry example quoted from Gods word IN
sup port of the modern dance, Is n wo-
ful pcrverslon of the truth !. Every
time dancing Ia ment oncd In Gods
word approyngly, It Is produced by
Gods holy spirit accompanied by other
means of shouting Gods praise; while
modern dancing Is always produced by
the spirit Of the world, which Is dctri-
mental to Gods spirit, so much so that
the one cannot reign, where the other
rclgns, or these two spirits cannot dwell
In the aame heart ut the same time.
How often Is David dancing before
the ark quoted In support Of modern
dnnclng. For this net, DNyld's wife,
"Michacl," despised him In her heart,
"and they parted forever" And yet
this dancing was accompanied with
great shouting Of Gods praise. "Giyc
thanks unto the Lord" "Glory yc In
Ills holy name" "Sing unto Him, sing
psalms." "Talk yc all Of his wonder.
ous works" ole Is the Lord our God
his judgments are In all the carth,' Sc,
Dayid's frat psalm Of praise 10 God,
vas delivered on this occasion, which /.
nndc up of such expressions ns above
uuoted David was acting completely
under the influence Of Gods spirit, and
I nsscrt boldly, whenever II II quoted IN
support of modern dancing II Is n bias
phcmous pcrycrsion of sacred things. -
Another case Of dancing IL found In
Exodus xv, 20. Aud Miriam the proph.
ctcas, the sister Of Aarop, took \ Tim.
brcl IN her hand aud all the women
went after her with tlmbrela, and win
dances" Now let us see what spirit ac-
tuatcd themi "And Miriam answered
them, sing yc TO the Lord, for he hatl
trlumphcd glorlouply." Hence II wa,
the same spirit Of God, which aCluatcd
David. that influenced them; for many
other exercises of praise 10 God attend.
cd this ease Of dancing.
Another ease is found In jeremiah
XXI, i3, "l'hcn shall the Virgin re-.
iolcc In the dance, both young men and
old together"
The Prophet In This chapter Is predict.
Ing the return Of Israel from captivity
when We turn ~ the fulllllment oI
