! Some years ago q very fine echo was,
discovered on an Englishman's estate.
He was proud Of 1t, Of course. and ex-
cited considerable envy by its exhibition.
One Of his neighbors, who owned an
adjoining estate, felt especially chagrin-
ed, but was greatly e1couraged by an
Irishman, who went over the bind in
the hope of discovering one somewhere.
He declared himself successful in find
ing the most wonderful echo ever heardss
and stood ready to unfold his secret for
b large sum Of money. The noblelnan
listened to the echo, and although there
was, something peculiar about u. ne
paid the money An afternoon was set
for his friends to come and listen to this
marvellous discovery.

man who had found the echo ss

company, and the wonderful echo an

"Hew are you?'
All went wen until just before retiring
one of the company. putting his hands

Such q question would discover the

was certainly too much for the one
which had been discovered ON that

Give the BABY Water.

A city physician attributes . large
part of the excessive mortality of child
rem in hot weather to the failure Of
nurses and mothers TO give them water;
indeed more children are said to die
directly and Indirectly from deprixa-
ton of water than from any other cause.
Infants, he says, are always too much
wrapped up, and in any case would pre-
spire very freely The water lost by
perspiratien must be supplied AS DIR.
Murdoch states ins1is paper on cholera
infansum sThe child is thirsty, not
hungry; but not getting efhe water,
which it does want, IL drinks the milk,
which it does not want. The conse-
quence is that the stomach issoverloaded
with food which it cannot digest, and
which soon &fernneTts and becomes q
source of severe irritation. Then follow
vomiting, purging. and cholera infan-
tum To prevent this, the principal
scourge of infancy, the doctor says:
aHave water without ice always ac-
cessible to the child, who will then re-
fuse sour milk and viii eat only when
hungry. Wateris the great Indispensable
article for the preventive treatment OF
children i'm hot weather. 1t Is inlpor-
tant enough to nursing children. Bot is

The Lpngezitg Of tbs Anciants.

Can man reach and pass the age OF Ia
hundred years, is question concerning
which psychologists have different opin-
ions. Button was the first one in France
to raise the question of the extreme limit
OF human life. Ia his opinion, man be-
ceming adult at sixteen, ought to i've to
six times that age. or TO ninety six years.
Having been called upon to account for
the phenomenal ages attributed by the
Bible TO the patriarchs, he aisked the
following as an explanation: 'sBefore the
food the earth wasAess solid, less COM
pact than il is now. The law of gravi-
tation had acted for only little time;
the productions of the globe had less
more supple, was more susceptible Of
extension Being able to grow for q
longer time. it should, in consequence.
hive for q longer time than now
~. The German Heusler has suggested,
on the same point. that the ancients did
not. divide time as we do. Previous to
the age of Abraham, the years, among
some people of the East, was only three
months, or a season; so that they had q
year, one of summer, one. of fall, and
one of winter Thesyear was extended
so as to consist Of eight months after
Abraham, and of twelve months after
Joseph. Voltaire rejected the longevity
assigned to the patriarchs of the Bible,
but accepted without question the stor-
les of the great -ages attained by some
men in India. where. he says, 1T is not
rare TO see old men of one hundred and
twenty years. .'sss ~
The eminent French sphysiologist,
Flourens, fixing the complete develop-
ment at twenty years, teaches that he
should live five times 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 apephyses. This junction takes
place in horses at five years, and the
horse does not live beyond twenty-five
years; with the OK at four years, and it
does not live over twenty years; with
! the cat at eighteen months, and that
! animal rarely lives over ten years. With
man, it is effected at twenty years. The
same phyisolegist admits, however, that
human life may be exceptionally pro-
longed under certain conditions of com
fort, sobriety, freedom from care, regu4
larity of habits, and observance of the
rules of hygiene and he terminates his
interesting study of the point (s.De Ia

| a correspondent of the Forest and
StreGns, who used TO sail o fast yacht,
the Decoy, describes one of his crew, a.
pet coon, canght when young and raised
in the boat-house. The yacht never
sailed without him. He was forward
man.
Often when the sea was heavy it would
wash him from the deck into the boiling
foana, but In an instant he was again at
his post, aud gave us all to understand
by peculiar cultural sound that he
meant business. He delighted to sit on
the end. of the bowsprit, and wherrwe
would cress q boats bow, or take the
wind out of her sail, he talked. Some
times combing sea would chase him
up the iibstay foot or two, bat he new
er failed to regain his old position.v In
moderate weather, and the water smooth
he would come aft.~aand, looking at me
knowingly, would meant the tiller; and,
with one paw placed affectionately on
my arm, would sail the boat for miles.
Then he did talk. s5s3 ssssiF e /.
He had been shot at several times
from rival beats, and he knew them all
as well as we did. Once he was badly
hurt, and falling from the end of the
bowsprit into the water, Ipicked himup
as he drifted by. The ball had passed
through his intestines. a He was a sick
coon, almost unto death. We ran into
Gloucester, where surgeon, friend OF
ours, Carefully attended TO his wound
How often he thanked that man for his
kindness the God that has given life to
all only can tell, for he was then too
weak to talk. Sf4 = yt#
We all loved him, and it was sreeipro-
Gated. How our hearts swarmed and
sthrobbed in sympathy for. that innocent,
unoffending atom of the great creation,
He got wen, but he never ventured out
on che bowsprft any more. Quiet after
Moons i'm the boat house he would climb
up gently into nay hammock, and softly
comb down my beard with his paws, and
brush the flies away until snored; then
he knew / was dead TO all earthly things,
and IN d minute he would have my
