How Long Man MAY Live.

It was Professor Hufeland's opinion
hat the limit of possible human life
might be set down at two hundred years,
j this on the general principle that the
fe of a creature is eight times
he years of its period OF
.rowth. That which is quick.
" formed quickly perishes, and the ear.
lirr complete development is reached
the sooner bodily decay ensues. More
women reach old age than men, but
more men attain remarkable longevity
than women. Horned animals live
longer lives than those without horns,
fierce longer than tImid, and amphibi.
ous longer than those which inhabit the
air. The voracious pike exists, il is said
to an age of one hundred and fifty years;
the turtle is good for one hundred years
or more. and among birds the golden
eagle is known TO have lived nearly two
hundred years, while the sly and sombre
crow reaches the venerable age OF a cen.
iuty. Passing up in the scale OF life 10
man, and skipping the patriarchs, We
find many recorded instances Of longev>
ity among the classic Greeks and Ro'
mans. Pliny notes that in the reign of
Emperor Nespasian, in the year 76,
there were l2i men living in the limited
area between the Apennines and the Po
of one hundred years and upward, three
Of whom were one hundred and forty,
and four over enc hundred and forty.
Cicero's wife lived to the age OF one
hundred and three, and the Roman act
ress, Luceja, played in public as late as
her one hundred and twelfth year.
Coming down to more recent times, the
most potable authentic instance of great
age is that of Henry jenkins, of York
shire, England, who died in 1870, one
hundred and sIXty.n nine years old. He
was fisherman, and at the age Of one
hundred easily swan across rapid rivers.
Another historic case is that OF Thomas

London to exhibit himself to the king.
II proved an unlucky visit, for, violating
the abstemious habit of a century aud a
half, the old man leasted so freely of the
royal victuals that he soon died. merely
of plethora. On examination his inter

MIR. Dana ON washing Babies.

Mothers and nurses cannot be too
careful about the soap they use ON the
little ones. Few but physicians know
how many of the so-called skin diseases
among children, are caused by the use
of adulterated, poisonous soap. An
analysis of several cakes of the pretty
and perfumed toilet soaps that are sold
on the streets. showed the presence Of
ground glass, soluable glass, slick, pipe
clay, rotten stone, borax, plaster of
Paris, tin crystal, magnesia, pumice stone
oatmeal, and other substances, which
are added to give the soap weight, hard
ness, toughness, or clearness. The COM
mon colorings are vermillion, Venetian,
red and carmine, ultramarine green,
potpigment green, copperas, Spanish
brown, ultramarine blues, yellow and
scarlet anilinos, and burnt amber. Many
of the perfuming ingredients, though
harmless in themselves, become chemi-
cally poisonous by admixture. Adding
the dangers from all these to the rancid,
putrid qualities of the grease used, and
mothers may well be appalled, at the
permanent evils thease neat-looking
delicately ly-scented blocks of toilet soap
contain, ready TO be released whenever
moistened and applied TO the baby's
body.

A Joke on n Washington Correspondent.
Hartford (Connl Times.

Probably no iollier lot of fellows are
alive than the Washington correspond
ents of the American press. They find
plenty of time, even when up to their
ears in work during the busy season, to
poke fun at each other. One of them
who furnishes special dispatches to a
leading journal, could tell a joke upon
himself If he were so inclined. When
he first entered Washington he was ex-
ceedingly green, but like most novices,
imagined that news-purveying was a
trade that could be learned without q
long apprenticeship. As hewas leaving
the capital on certain afternoon in the
midst of a short session." he was accost-
ed by some brother scribes, one of
whom, with perfectly serious face,
asked him If he had heard the result Of
TIE last nights caucus. II didn't know
there was one" he answered. "Oh,
yes;" said the first speaker, there was a
Joint caucus Of both parties, and after a
great deal of wrangling they voted to
adjourn Congress on the ith of Mar,h."
"You don't say SOP exclaimed the vic
tim, hurrying of to the telegraph office.
A few minute later this bit of news was
on the wires stranger yet, the editor
into whose bands the dispatch passed at
its destination printed it Just as II was
sent, without pausing to reflect that
