Mr.. Chas. B. Wayman, Erie, Pa, writes :
My physicians had given me up to die.
They told me my lungs and liver were all
decayed and gone. I was very weak, pale,
and emaciated. By chance / saw Browns
Iron Bitters advertised. I Immediately
realized that without iron in the blood, life
could not exist. With trembling anxiety
sent a servant, who procured for me bot
tie must have taken it with great faith,
for almost Immediately felt its beneficial
effect. Soon all dyspeptic symptoms dis
appeared, my lungs grew strong, pains in
the region of the heart vanished, my urine
became free of sediment, and in word I
have regained perfect health. Now I feel
able to thrash the doctor that attended me,
and really believe ] ought to do it."

REST.
BY FATHER RYAN.


My feet are weary and my hands are tired;
My soul oppressed,
And with desire have Hong desired
Rest-only Rest.
Tis hard to toll, when toll is almost vain,
In barren way;
tbs hard to SOW and never garner grain
In harvest days.
The burden of my days is hard to bear,
But God knows best
And have prayed-but vain has been my
prayer
For Rest-swect Rest
tbs hard to plant in spring and never reap
The autumn yield;
Tis hard to till and when it's titled to weap
Ger fruitless field.
And so 1 cry, weak and human cry,
So heart oppressed;
And SO | sigh, weak and human sigh,
For Rest-for Rest.
NV way has wound across the desert years,
And cares infest
NY path, and through the flowing of hot
tears
~ Ipine for Rest.
It was always so; when still child laid
On mothers breast
Ny weary little head-e'en then l prayed,
AS now, for Rest.
And am restless still; twill soon be DER.
For down the west
Life's sun is setting, and [ see the shore
Where | shall Rest.

LONGEVITY.
What is the Extreme limit Of Human
Life.
Popular Science Monthly.

Popular Science Monthly.
Can man reach and pass the age of
100 years is a question concerning
which Psychologists have different
opinions. Button was the first one
in France to raise the question of the
extreme limit of human life. In his
opinion, man, becoming adult at 16,
ought to live six times that age, or
to SO years. Having been called
upon to account for the phenomenal
ages attributed by the Bible to the
patriarchs, he risked the following as
On explanation: Before the flood
the earth was less solid, less compact
than it is now. The law of gravita
ton had acted for only little time
the productions of the globe had less
consistency, and the body of man,
being more supple, was more suscep-
tible of extension. Being able to
grow for longer time, it should, in
consequence, live for longer time
than now.
The German Heusler has suggest
ed on the same point that the am
clients did not divide time as we do.
Previous to the age of Abraham, the
year, among some people of the East,
was only three months, or season;
so that they had a year of spring, one
of summer, ore of fall and one OF
winter. The year was extended SO
as to consist of eight months after
Abraham and of twelve months after
Joseph. Voltaire rejected the lon
gevity assigned to the patriarchs of
the Bible, but accepted without ques-
ton the stories of the great ages at
tanned by some men in India, where,
he says, sit is not rare to see old
men of 100 years" The eminent
French psychologist, Flourens, fixing
the complete development of man at
20 years, teaches that he should live
five fines as long as it takes him to
become an adult. According to this
author, the moment of completed
development may be recognized by
the fact of the junction of the bones
with their apophyses. This junction
takes place in horses at 5 years, and
the horse does not live beyond %
years; with the OK at 4 years, and it
does not live over 20 years; with the
cat at Is months, and that animal
rarely lives over 10 years. With
man it is effected at 20 years, and he
only exceptionally lives beyond 100
years. The same Psychologist adj
mits, however, that human life may
be exceptionally prolonged under GER
tain conditions of comfort, sobriety,
freedom from care, regularity of hab.
it's and observance of the rules Of
hygiene; and he terminates his inter
esting study of the last point (''De Ia
Longerite humaine') with the aphor-
ism, MAN kills himself rather than
dies"

than is generally understood. a sun
bath costs nothing, and that is mis-
fortune, for people are deluded with the
idea that those things only can be good
or useful which cost money. But re-
member that pure water, fresh air and
sunlit homes, kept free from dampness,
will secure you from many heavy bills
OF the doctors, and give you health and
vlgor, which no money can procure It
is well-established fact that people
who live much in the sun are usually
stronger and more healthy than those
whose occupations deprive them 81 sun
light. And certainly there is nothing
strange i'll the result, since the same law
applies with equal force to every ami
mate thing in nature. It is quite easy
to arrange an isolated dwelling so that
every room in it may be flooded with
sunlight some time in the day, and it is
possible that many town houses could
be SO built as to admit moro light than
they now receive. Builder and Wood

Sunlit Rooms.

No article of furniture should be put
in a room that will not stand sunlight,
for every room in adwelling should have
the windows SO arranged that some time
during the day a food of sunlight will
force itself into the apartment. The
Importance Of admitting the light OF the
sun freely to all parts of our dwellings,
cannot be too highly estimated. Indeed,
perfect health is nearly as much de-
pendent on pure sunlight as it is on
pure air. Sunlight should never be ex-
cluded except when SO bright as to be
uncomfortable to the eyes. And WALKS
should be in bright sunlight, so that the
eyes are protected by veil or parasol
when inconveniently intense. A sun
bath is of more Importance in prcserv-
ing healthy condition of the body

The Sea Of Galilee.

Riding by the foot of Hattin, over The
place where, 700 years ago, Saladin an
initiated the Crusaders power in Pales-
tine, we at length reached ridge where
we looked out on the distant hills of
Bashan, and far below us on dark blue
pear or harp-shaped sheet Of water, ~
ing snugly in a deep Enclosure Of high
brown hills. Thoug h less than thirteen
miles long and seven miles broad, yet,
measured by the events it has Witnessed,
it is q kind Of Pacific ocean. It was the
Sea Of Galilee.
As we moved over the long way down
ward to its level-35O feet below the
Mediterranean sea-we had time to
fix and grasp its whole aspect and sur
roundings. It lacks boldness of outline,
for it's hills slope gradually back from
Gennesaret and Buthia But the lights
and shadows lie sweetly on the hillsides
at night and morning; the northern end
is broken into pleasant little bays, and
Hermon looms grandly up beyond, far
off, yet seemingly near. The whole as
pect Of the lake is one that suggests the
thought and the lack OF beautiful homes.
It was still a long ride to the lake. The
region we were passing, once brimful OF
life and activity, was utterly forsaken
now The entire lake lay spread before
us, and nearly the whole Of its coast
line, along or near which once lay the
cities OF Iarichea, Tiberias, Hippo, Ga
mala, Gergesa, Bethsaida, Chorazin, Ca
pernaum, Magdala and Beth Arbel OF
these cities, Yberias once had its Senate
Of 600; Gamala was able to resist and
defeat Vespasian at the head of three
legions, and when captured by Vespa-
sian and Titus it lost 400 in the fight,
and 5000 who hurled themselves, or
were pushed down the precipices while
Tarichea, according to Josephus, was
able to furnish 16, 500 for slaughter in a
sea fight with the Romans, 1900 slain
