How Long Man May Live.

1t was Professor .lIufeland's opinion
that the limit of possible human life
might be set at two hundred years
This is 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 per-
ishes, and the earlier complete develop
ment is reached the sooner bodily decay
ensues. More women reach old age
than men, but more men attain re-
markable longevity than women.
Passing up in the scale of the life OF
man, skipping the patriarchs, we find
many recorded instances of the longev-
ity among the classic Greeks and
Romans. Pliny notes that in the
reign of the Emperor Vespasian, in
the year rs, there were one hundred
and twenty-four men living in the
limited area between the Apprentices
and the Pc of one hundred and up
ward, three of whom were one hundred
and forty, and four oyer one hundred
and tbirty-iive. Cicero's wife lived to
the age of one hundred and three, and
the Roman actress Luceja played in
public as late as her one hundred and
twelfth year
Coming down to more recent times,
the most noted authentic instance ol
great age is that of Henry jenkins, of
Yorkshire, England, who died in 1910
one hundred and sixty-nine years old.
He was a fisherman, and at the age OF
one hundred easily swan across rapid
rivers. Another historic case is that
of Thomas Parr, of Shropshire, day
lahorer, who lived to the age of one
hundred and fifty two years. When
more than one hundred and twenty he
married his second wife, and till one
hundred and thirty be could swing
the scythe and WELD the fail with the
best Of his fellow-laborers. In his one
hundred and fifty-secon6 year Parr
went up to London to exibit himself to
the King. 1t proved an unlucky visit,
for violating the abstemious habit of q
century and half, the old man feast
ed so freely on the royal victuals that
he soon died, merely of plethora. On
examination his internal organs proved
to be in excellent condition, and there
was no reason why he should not have
lived much longer, save for this un.
fortunate taste of royal hospitality.
Professor Hufeland's ;oll of centen-
arians includes many more remarkable
cases, among them that of Mitlestedt,
Russian soldier, who served sixty
seven years under both Fredericks,
fighting many battles and enduring
much hard campaigning, and who,
after all this, married successively
three wives, the last when he was
one hundred and ten, two years before
! his death.

This is the tale that was told to me,
| Bv "A battered and shattered son of the sea
To me and my messmate, Silas Green,
When l was guileless young marine.
| Twas the good ship Gyascutus,
| All in the China seas,
With the wind lee and the capstan free
| To catch the evening breeze.
Twas Captain Porge on the deck,
To his mate in the mizzen hatch.
| While the boats ain bold in the forward hold
Was winding his larboard watch.
| ooh, how does our good ship head tonight?
How heads our gallant craft ?"
| "Oh she heads to the E. 5. w. by N,
And the pinnacle lies abaft"
"Oh, what does the quadrant indicate,
And how does the sextant stand p
"Oh, the sextant's down to the freezing point,
And the quadrant's lost hand" !"
ooh, and if the quadrant has lost hand,
And the sex tant falls so low,
It's our bodies and bones to Davy Jones
This night are bound to go."
"Oh, fly aloft to the cardboard strakel
And reef the spanker boom;
Bend studding sail on the martingale
To give her weather room.
''Oh, boatswain down in the for'ard hold,
What water do you find %
"Four foot and half by the royal gaff
And rather more behlnd!"
go, sailors, collar your marline spikes
And each Delaying pin;
Come stir your stumps and spike the pumps
Or more will be coming in ~
pumps,
They spliced the mizzen brace;
Aloft and allow they worked, but oh
The water gained o apaoa.
They bored hole above the keel
To let the water out;
But. strange to say, to their dismay,
The water in did spout.
Then up spoke the cook of our gallant ship,
And he was a lubber brave;
81 have several wives in various ports,
And my life I'd orter save"
Then up spoke the Captain of Marines,
Who dearly loved his grog:
"It's awful to die, and it's worse to be dry,
And move We pipes to grog."
Oh, then twas the noble second mate
What filled them all With awe;
The second mate, as bad men hate,
And cruel shippers jaw.
He took the anchor on his back
And leaped to the main;
Through foam and spray he Glove his way,
And sunk and rose again
Through foam and spray, league away
The anchor stout he bore;
Till, safe at last, he made it fast
And warped the ship ashore
'Tain't much of a job to talk about,
But a ticklsh thing to see.
And suth'!n to do, if say it, too.
For the second mate was me
Such was the tale that was told to me
By that modest and truthful son of the sea,
And | envy the life of second mate
Though captains curse him and sailors hate,
For he amt like some of the swaps I've
seen,
As would go and lie to poor marine.

son at the same time gave the Sultan
concilitory explanations, stating that
England did not aim at protectorate
over Egypt He also asked for par
ticulars concerning the composition of
the Turkish expedition to Egypt.
The Sultan gave no satisfactory ans
wer 1t is stated, however, that he is
irritated at England's action, and that
he has sent verbal messages, through
Mr. Sandison, that he would do moth
ing for England, but would only
yield to the wishes of Europe.
Herr Won Hirschfeld, the German
representative at the conference, was
instructed on Friday from Berlin to
recommend the Sultan to issue the
proclamation declaring Arab Pasha
rebel, demanded by England. The
Russian Charge d'Affaires had been
ordered by his Government not to
attend any more meetings Of the con:

instructions. Yesterday a special
steamer arrived at Constantinople
with the expected instructions:
The various Governments have
asked their representatives at Constan-

delegate, from Thursdays sitting of

profess that they are unable to ex-
plain the cause They state that an
arrangement WOULD have heen re&ehea
on Thursday between the Porte and
the conference but for the absence of
M. Onou. The adjournment of the
meeting is regarded as seriously en-
dangering the success of the confer

ceiyed important instructions from
their respective Governments which
