correspondent calls attention to the fact that if the city buys the waterworks every property holder, whether he owns improved or unimproved property, will be compelled to pay 8 water tax whether he uses the water or not. There are at least one thousand small property holders in this city who do not use city water. A water tax would be disagreeable enough to any property holder, but it would be especially annoying to them.
 Of Indian railroad laborers Mexican let ter to the Chicago 1Tnaes says that they toll unceasingly but accomplish little. On shov- cling it would take six of them to equal one white man. It is new kind of work for the Indian, and strains his weakest part. The muscles of the arms are not developed. An Indian is strong in his back and legs, and when it comes to carrying 8 heavy load, white competitor is nowhere. Difficulty has been experienced in familiarizing the Indians with the wheelbarrow.

How Long Man May LIVE.

1t was Professor IIufeland's opin-
ion that the limit OF possible life
might be set down at 200 years, and
this on the general principle that the
life of a creature is eight times the
years OF It's period OF growth. That
which ia quickly formed perishes,
and the earlier complete development
Is reached tho sooner bodily decay
ensues. More women reach old age
than men, but more men attain re-
inarkable longevity than women,-.
Horned animals live shorter lives
than those without horns, fierce lon
ger than tiniid, aud amphibious lon
ger than those which inhabit the air.
The voracious pike exists, 1t is said,
to all age of $50 years; the turtle is
good Tor 100 years or more, and
among birds the golden eagle is
known to have lived nearly 200 years,
while the sly and sonlErc crow
reaches the venerable age Of ccntu.
L ny. Passing up in the scale OF life to
man, aud skipping the pa,riarchs, we
find many recorded instances OF lon
geviiy among the classic Greeks and
Romans. Pliney notes THAT in the
reign OF the Emperor Vespasian, in
the year rs, there were l2l men liv-
ing in the limited area between the
Apennines and the Pc of 100 years
and upward, three of whom were In
and four over 1885,. Cicero's vii,
lived to the aye OF lO3, and the Roman
actress, Luceja, played in public as
late as her ll2th year. Coming down
10 more recent times tho most notable
authentic instance OF great age Is that
of Henry jenkins, OF York shire, Eng
land, who died in 1910, l60 years old
! He was fisherman, and at the age o.
100 easily swan across rapid rivers
Another historic Gaze is that OF Thos
Parr, of Shropshire, u day laborer
who lived 10 the aye of 152 years
When more than 100 he married hi,
second wife, and till 1870 lie coult
swing the scythe and WELD the flai
with the hest OF his fellow-laborers
In his l52d year Parr went to Lon
don TO exhibit himself to the King
II proved all unlncky visit, for, VIOLA
ting the abstemious habit Of a ccntur,
and half, the old man toasted sc
freely of tho royal victuals that h,
soon died, merely Of plethora. Oh
examination his internal organl
proved 10 be in excellent condition
and there was no reason why b,
should not have lived much Longer
save for his unfortunate taste of roya
hospitality. Prof Hufeland's roll o
cenienarians includes many more re-
markable cases.

The Romance Of a Tramp.

During tho Centennial year, among
