Street Paving.

The subject OF street paving occupies at-
tention everywhere, in the large cities and
the smaller ones, and there is IN increasing
anxiety, as well as resolution, manifested
to improve the character of the paving
heretofore in use. People begin to see
that proper paving and sewerage are mat.
tiers Of prime necessity to their comfort.
health and prosperity, and consequently
they are adopting larger and more liberal
policy in the matter Of providing them.
selves with these necessities. We observe
that the Commercial Club OF St, Louis has
taken the subject up, and prepared an
elaborate report, and agreed upon the fol-
lowing propositions as the safest guide for
street improvements:
First-The absolute and UNQUALIFIED
abandonment OF so.called macadam Of soft
limestone for street surface.
Second-A policy Of resistance 10 the in.
crease OF street area, except Mt the exclusive
expense OF adjacent property, until the
present streets are more generally occupied
by Improvements,
Third-The reconstruction OF streets in
the business portion Of the city-say east
Of Twelfth, and between Franklin avenue
and Walnut-with granite blocks only, laid
in the most thorough and approved man.

THE OWNING ROD.

The London Times publishes several
letters on the working Of the divining
rod. Mr.. I. Sherwood Smith, +. S. S.,
writing from Bristol, says thar some
years ago he was carrying on mining
operations in Somcrsctshire and had a
workman who professed the power OF
using the "twig." He tested him and
found that the twig certainly turned up
sharply between his hands, while in his
own it made no sign. On another oc-
caslon-one of Mr.. Smiths men was
pointed out rs possessed of the power.
A number Of hats were placed in row,
and under one Of them known only to
Mr.. Smith and two scientific friends
with him number of copper COINS
The man was called in, and, by means
of the ;wig, identified the right hat
The experiment was several times re-
peated, and in most cases with success.
Lieutenant Colonel Charles Cocks, in a
letter written from Montrcux, says that
at Cannes and other places on the Riv-
iera certain Italians constantly travel
about the country for the purpose OF
finding concealed springs to supply
houses in course Of building. In place
Of the usual hazel twig in use in Corn
wall the Italians use twig of olive
When water is indicated the loop gives
slight jerks upward, and eventually be-
comes upright and turns toward the
breast Of the person operating. Cocks
gives an instance Of the successful en-
ployment of the twig, and says that he
himself has often tried to trace a drain
= .assc fhattef Of ciAriosity, With in-
variable success. He has no doubt
whatever of its truth. On the other
hand Mr.. I. X. Taplin, of Milverton,
Somersetshirc, writing with reference to
some successful experiments said to have
been made with the twig in n field near
Wes.bury y-sub- Mendin. says that the field
in question, though generally surface
dry, had abundance OF water below,
and he had little doubt that the spring
said TO be tapped could have been tap
ped at any part Of the field or even in
the adjoining field. The men, no doubt,
knew very we'll that they were practi-
cling 4 joke. The laboring men born
and bred in any district, he adds, know
well the nature Of the land and where
water is to be obtained. Captain p.
Bingham, writing from Paris, says that
the Able Paramelle, who died four
years ago, possessed the power Of find
ing water, and through it conferred
great benefits in various parts Of the
country. He wrote n book on "The
An Of Discovering Springs" in which
he describes the merits Of the divining
rod. The Able says the rod turns
spontaneously in the hands of certain
individuals endowed with a tempera-
mcnt of nature to produce the effect.
The movement is determined by fluids
which escape our perception, such as
electricity, magnetism, etc. The rod
turns indifferently over places where
there is not the least thread Of water rs
over those where water is found, and
consequently it cannot be depended
upon.

LONGEVITY OF ANIMALS.

Camels live from 10 to so wears !:
horses average from IS to 80; oxen,
about 20; sheep, s or 9, and dogs IL
IA. Concerning the ages attained
by non-domesticaied animals only few
isolated facts are known. The East In
dians believe that the life-period OF ele-
plants is about 600 years, instances be.
ing recorded Of these animals having
lived ISo years in confinement after
capture at an unknown age. Whales
are estimated to reach the age OF 400
years. Some reptiles are very long
lived, an instance being furnished by a
tortoise which was confined in I6ss and
existed until 1883, when it perished by
an accident. Birds sometimes reach 4
great age, the eagle and the swan hav-
ing been known to live 100 years. The
longevity Of fishes is often remarkable.
The carp has been known to live 400
years common river trout, so years,
and the pike, 90 years; while Gesner,
a Swiss naturalist, relates that 4 pike
caught in 1897 bore a ring recording
the capture Of the same fish s67 years
before. Insects are very short lived,
usually completing the term Of their ex-
istence in 4 few weeks or months
Some even perish within a few hours
after emerging from a grub state, and
die on the very day Of entering upon
their new life. As a general rule. not
TO be applied too closely, larger types
Of animals live longer than smaller.

HOW TO MOUNT YOUR sTEED, AND
WHAT TO DO HAVING ONCE
MOUNTED.

From fhs Bwiingfoa Hawkye
In mounting face theneaf side Of the
horse. The near side is theside nearest
yourself II you stand on the right side
Of the horse, which is the wrong side
when you mount, you will face the crup-
per. Then everybody will know that
your name is Johann Gotlieb Erasige-
foiger.
nyou cannot mount from the ground,
lead the horse to a high fence, say
"Whoa" two or three times, and Jump
over the horses cars. You will light
somewhere on the neck, and you viii
have plenty of time to adjust yourself
while the horse is running away. An
other method Of mounting, largely prac-
tical by young gentlemen from the city,
is to balance yourself on one foot on the
fence, and point the other leg at the
horse in the general direction Of the
,sRddle. .xaying .sWrhoa's all the time
The horse, after this gesture has been
repeated a few times, backs away, pulls
the alleged rider of the fence, and walks
up and down the lane with him At
rapid gallop. This gives the rider in
about ten minutes all the exercise he
wants for week.
If by some miracle you manage to get
into the saddle, hold on with both hands
and say "Whoa." The faster the horse
goes the tighter you must hold on, and
the louder you must "holler."
If you are from New York or Phila-
delphia, you will shorten the stirrups
until your knees are on level with
your chin. Then, as you ride, YOU will
rise TO your feet and stand in the a,ti.
tude Of man pecring over fence to
look for his dog, and then suddenly fall
into the saddle like man who has step.
ped on banana peel. This is the Eng.
lish school. II is hard on the horse,
but it is considered very graceful. \
man cannot wear false teeth, however.
and ride in this manner.

AN EsTHErIc WIFE.

"Say, Ill tell YOU something, il you

lusion that my wife was developing as

that you can't afford to make a mistake
