The lake that has the highest elova.

in Colorado. Its surface is 10,252 feet
above the level of the sea. Pine forests
surround it, and eternal SHOWS deck the
neighboring mountain tops. One OF
these, Gray's Peak, has an altitude of
14,341 feet. The water Of Green lake
is as clear as crystal, and large rock
masses and petrifed forest are dis

Mans Age.

Stew men die Of age. Almost all die
Of disappointment, passion, mental OF
bodily toll, or accidents. The passions
kill men sometimes, even suddenly. The
common expression 'choked with passion
has little exaggeration in it, for even
though not suddenly fatal, strong pas
sions shorten life. Strong-bodied men
often 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 can
die, to run, the weak to burn out. The
inferior animals, which live temperate
lives, have generally their prescribed
number of years. The horse lives
twenty-five; the OK fifteen or twenty; the
lion about twenty; the dog ten or twelve;
the rabbit eight; the guinea pig six or
seven. These numbers all bear q similar
proportion to the time the animal takes
to grow to its full size. But man, of the
animals, is one that seldom lives his
average. He ought to live hundred
years, according to the physical law, for
five times twenty are one hundred; but
instead of that, he scarcely reached on
an average four timeshis growing period;
the cat six times; the rabbit even eight
times the standard of measurement. The
reason is obvious-man is not only the
most irregular and the most Incorporate,
but the most laborious and hard worked
of all the animals. He is also the most
irritable of all animals; and there is no
reason to believe, though We can not tell
what an animal secretly feels, that, more
than any other animal, man cherishes
wrath to keep it warm, and consumes
himself with the fire of his own secret re-
Election.

Habits Of the Condor.

The condor is peculiar to the New
World, but it approaches very closely to
the vultures of the Old Continent. The
immense mountain-chain of the Andes,
which runs down the continent of South
America, is the native stronghold where
these birds dwell securely. There, in
the regions of perpetual snow, and of
terrific storms, fifteen thousand feet above
the level of the sea, On some isolated
pinnacle or crag, the condor rears its
brood, and looks down Oh the plains be-
meath, yet far away for food. Though
here these birds find their home, they
build no nest, but deposit their eggs on
the naked rocks, without surrounding
them either with straw or leaves. Ofall
birds the condor mounts highest into the
atmosphere. Humboldt describes the
flight of it in the Andes to be at least
twenty thousand feet above the level of
the sea- He says it is a remarkable cir.
cumstance that this bird, which continues
to fly about in regions where the air is
so rarifed, descends all at once to the
edge Of the sea, and thus in a few min
utes passes through all the variations of
climate. When driven by hunger, the
condor descends into the plains, but
leaves them as soon as its appetite is sat
isfed. Like the rest of its species, it
subsists on carbon, and often gorges it.
self so as to become incapable of flight.
The Indians, who are well acquainted
with this effect of voracity, turn it to ac-
count in the chase. For this purpose
they expose the dead body of a horse or
a COW. Some of the condors, which are
generally lowering in the air in search
of food, are speedily attracted. As soon
as they have glutted themselves on the
carcass, the Indians make their appear
ance armed with the lasso, and the con-
doris being unable to escape by fight,
are pursued and caught by this singular
weapon II Home Words.

CeyI0n Pearl Fishery.

The earliest fishery of which we can
find any detailed record took place in
the year 1895; and from that date the
'Ceylon Government, up to the year 1874,
derived a sum of Ell ,O13,1 13 from this
source. The pearl oyster is curiously
migratory in its habits; and from one
cause or another the banks are for years
together almost totally deserted by
them, and long intervals elapsed during
which the fishery has, from this peculiar
ity, been closed, rendering the return
from it quite unreliable as source Of
settled revenue. Thus from 1872 to
1746 from 1853 to 1896, and from 1888
to 1854, there we're no fisheries at all,
and it was feared at the latter date that
the oysters had altogether deserted the
banks.
A few words descriptive of the system
under which a fishery is conducted will
be of interest. A report having been
received from the inspector that there
are sufficient oysters of mature age on
the banks, the Government adyertises a
date for its commencement. A large
number of boat owners, both Celonese
and from the opposite coast OF India,
apply to enrol their boats, and these
probably to the number of $50 to $50,
are divided into two fleets, sailing under
red and blue flags, which proceed to the
banks, situated some six miles from the
shore, on alternate days. Each boat
provides its own crew and divers, and
has on board a guard to see that the
oysters fshed are not surreptitiously dis
posed of. Each diver stands on a fiat
stone attached to the diving rope, and
after taking long inspiration, CLOSES his
nostrils with one hand, and descends on
the stone to the bottom, where he has
tily collects as many oysters In his bas-
ket as the time he is able to remain at
the bottom admits of. This varies very
much with the capacity Of different men;
but in spite of all assertions to the con-
trary, we believe that few divers can
stay below beyond forty-fve seconds.
At a given signal the boats all sail for
the shore, and on their arrival they are
unloaded under inspection and the oys-
tiers placed in the Government kottoos-
palisaded Enclosures with cement floor.
Here the oysters are counted, and the
proportion due to the boat owners for
their services is made over to them.
The remainder, which is the property Of
the Government, is put up to auction
and sold to the highest bidder. The
purchasers remove their lots to private
kottoos, where the oysters undergo the
disagreeable process Of rotting to enable
the pearls to be washed out. The stencil
resulting from this decay is fearful, and
it has often happened that the opera
tions have had to be prematurely closed
in consequence Of the resulting outbreak
of cholera. It says much for the care
full sanitary arrangements made by the
officials in charge. that such outbreaks
are not of recent occurrence Colonies

A Beggar's Sharp Trick.

A shrewd old beggar in London has
been trying his talent in a religious dodge.
Pretending to be deaf his habit is to
stand on the sidewalk dressed in wretch
edly tattered and greasy garments and
read aloud from an old bible. When
benevolentlooking parsonage comes
along he reads aloud number of verses
relating to charity, such as the Episcopal
clergy read while the wardens are taking
up the collection. When tits not good
day for benevolent people he goes into
stores and shops and reads the bible at
the same passages then asks for money,
which, when he gets it, he passes over to
woman who generally follows him.
When arrested he said he was not a
beggar, but merely read the bible in the
street, and seeing the shopkeeper not
very busy he merely entered the shop to
point out the scriptures to him. This old
fellow has raked in considerable income.

Presidential Hand.Shaking.

Our Presidents ought, in self-defence,
if for no other reason, to decline to
shake hands with all the world. Why
should the people subject a President of
the United States to absolute cruelty

sense to defer the torture until he has

misery that is involved in mans stand
ing three hours, while 1900 people
file past him, each giving the victims
right hand a wrench proportional to
the warmth of his patriotism, or the
heat of his politics. There is also the
still weightier objection Of profaning-
as meaningless form-one of the SYM
bols of devoted, manly friendship.
Upon the whole, this White House hand
shaking is a custom that should be more
honored in the breach than in the OBJ
