DR.. i. P. Atkinson believes that govt
may be prevented in this way-and the
prevention of this troublesome and often
dangerous disease is far more easy than
its cure. His method of arresting a
tendency to govt consists in: ~ Linn
iting the quantity of heterogeneous food
a. Taking regularly a certain amount
of out-of-door exercise, in order to help
the proper tissue changes being carried
out, (3.) Avoidance of late hours and
everything which is likely to unduly
excite or depress the nervous system.
A. Keeping up the action of the skin
by warm clothing and the occasional
use of Turkish baths-in short, it con-
sists in living as far as possible a nat
ural life.

Uncle Pleasant Batkins, of Richmond,
Va, is sixty and his wife seventy-two
years old. The other day a friend said
Uncle Pleasant, why in the mischief
did you marry a woman nearly old
enough to be your mother?" And this
is the way he explained it: ''You see
boy" he replied with q sigh, II was
wurkin' for Long John Freeman in
Hanover, when I was jest IS, and Susan
Ann Russ, old Mrs. Russ's Oldest daugh-
ter, was thirty if she wur u day, At
every q%uiltin' she used to chuse me fol
her partner, and everybody said il
'peared like she wur q %courtin' me. She
gimme four pair cotton socks and q heap
of things, but still l didn't have no no
ton of her. Well, one Christmas eve,
1 went to the old woman's, and had
hardly sot down before Sary Ann
brought me some sweet p~ertato pie,
which she knowed / was monstrous fond
Of. While | was eatin' it / heard the
old woman up stairs a countin' silver
dollars. Now, thar was no plaster to
the %sealin, and the upstairs floor had
cracks in it as wide as my finger. So
you see l could hear the jingle of the
money just as well as if ] had been up
thar myself. When she had counted
9O6 I drawed up to Sary Ann and pop
ped the question. In course she said
she'd have me, and the next Thursday
we was married. Now, what do you
think / found out the next dayP Why,
that the old woman didn't have but
thirty Mexican dollars, and that she
counted 'em over and over jest to fool
me. Don't marry for money, boy,
specially for silver dollars"

Russian Mulberry,

This valuable and ornamental tree
was first brought to this country by the
Russian Mennonites, and trees, the
seed of which was planted five years
ago, are twenty feet in height and six
inches in diameter, and have borne full
crops of fruit since they were two years
old. Color of fruit red and black, flavor
sub-acid. In Russia they are used as
we use ~raspberries and blackberries.
Large quantities of this fruit are
sold annually in the markets OF
Russia. The tree is, as near as
we can learn, a cross between the Morus
Ngra or black mulberry, and the native
Russian variety, The tree grows very
large, frequently reaching a height OF
fifty feet. The timber is hard and dur
able, and the fence posts made from it
have the lasting qualities of catalpa OF
red cedar. A part Of the trees have
beautiful cut leaves, and some of them
have as many as twelve lobes. Some of
the trees were shipped to James Wick
last autumn, who speaks of the beauty
of~the leaves in the Floral Guide for
1881. The bark is grayish white,
branches dropping. The Russians also
use it as a hedge plant, and it stands
shearing as well as any tree on the list.
1t also grows readily from cuttings as
cottonwood or willow. L~ast-year cut
tings made trees from three to five feet
in height. The tree is perfectly hardy.

To Destroy Bugs.

To destroy bugs on squash and Gu
cumber vines dissolve a tablespoonful
of saltpeter in q pailful of water, put a
pint of this around each hill, shaping
the earth so that it will not spread
much, and the thing is done. The
more saltpeter the better for vegetables,
but the surer death to animal life. The
bugs burrow in the earth at night, but
fail to rise in the morning. No danger
of killing any vegetables with it Il con-

How Long Man May Live.

It was Prof Ilufcland's opinion that
the limit Of possible human life might be
set at 300 years This on the general
principle that the life of a creature is
eight times the years of its period of
growth. That which is quickly formed
quickly pcrishes and the earlier complete
development is reached the sooner bod
ily decay cnsues More women reach
old age than men, but more men attain
remarkable longevity than women
Some animals grow to be very old
Horned animals live shorter lives than
those without horns, fierce longer than
timid, and amphibious longer than those
which inhahit the air The voracious
pike exists, it is said, to an age of 150
years; the turtle is good for hundred
years or mere; and among birds the gol-
den eagle is known to have lived nearly
200 years, while the sly and sombrt
crow reaches the venerable age of cen

Coming down to more recent times
the most notable authentic instance of
great age is that of Henry Jenkins. of
Yorkshire, England, who died in 1870,
100 years old He was a fisherman
and at the age of 100 easily swan

the abstenious habit of a century and a

royal victuals that he soon died merely

he should not have lived much longer

hospitality Prof Hufclands roll of
