We clip the following from the Troy,
n. Y. Times: Letters pour in daily,
sometimes by dozens, scores, and hun
dreds, to Dr.. David Kennedy, of ROnd-
out, N. Y, in grateful acknowledgement
of the great benefits received from his
'FavOrite Remedy And they illustrate
the power of the medicine in some new,
and, perhaps, hitherto untested phase of
operation. But it is when a sufferer
comes miles to tell the story of his de-
liverance in person, to grasp the doctor
by the hand and greet him as a true
and valued friend, that the interest In
his case deepens and multiplies."

Where Cats Came From.

/ NJ. Lenormant is convinced that
not Egypt. but Africa further south,
! is the cradle of the cat as domes-
tic animal. The Egyptian wild-fowl
hunter in the monuments takes his
cat witn him in his boat, and the cat
acts as retriever. Cats, as Il rule,
dislike cold water; but they are fond
of fish, and there used to be q cat in
a mill on the Yarrow which would
dive after trout, and seize them even
in deep pools.
The late introduction of domesti-
Gated cats among Semitic people
seems to be proved by the absence
of eats in the bible We do not re-
member a single mention of eats in
Holy Writ. The Assyriaus and the
Babylonians are said to have been
equally ignorant OF this charming
animal. There appears to be no
Greek or Roman pictures or other
representations of the mou, or ''mew
cat" of the Egyptians Perhaps one
exception should be made; for VI.
Longperier has encountered cat on
Tarantine coin, struck shortly be-
fore the wars OF Pyrrhus. Another
archGolOgist mentions Roman
tombstone, that of Calpurnia Felic-
ula pussy on which cat was en-
graved; but the monument Is lost,
and its date was post-Christian.
Orelli thinks that felicula little cat,
or kitten IS a late name for women.
The Byzantine writers, in the latest
days of Greece, are thought TO have
been the first who gave the name to
the modern cat. The Greek animal
was polecat, or founart, though
there was an old fable OF a cat chang
ed into woman, which seems more
naturally interpreted of the modern
cat. The names Of the cat in Euro
pean languages are interesting. NJ
Pictet. the author of Les OrTgimes
Md0- Europeans, thinks that none of
our names for puss belong to the old
Aryan tongue. The Romans-who. /
rather late IN the day, were the Whit /
tingtons OF antiquity. and introdu
GERS of the cat-called the animal
cat,t. The adjective eatus means,
in a bad sense, "sly. cunning, artful /
crafty But NJ, Pictet was not so
easily satisfied; he derived the Ro- +
man catus, from the Syriac cato and .
the Arabic gift Kitten Nor even I
here did he stop in his impetuous
course. Qat0 and qh, it seems, are
not originally Semitic, but African
words, as in the Nubian kadiska.
The Egyptians, as we have seen,
gave the cat childish name; as in
fants call thecow moo" they called
the cat mdu, an imitation of its
plaintive cry. The history of cats,
then, is derived from countries bor-
bering on the Upper Nile, whence
the beast came to Egypt, and passed
to Syria, Rome and Western Europe.

THE HEART OF A MAN
BY ALICE TURNER.

In the grim hush OF midnight
When your house has grown 50 still,
I rise from my sleep in the churchyard
To wander about at my will.
] pass your unopened door softly
And stand once more by your side,
Till you dream that in heaven ] love you
As well as the day died.
But my hour on earth is shortened;
The light of the moon grows dim
As my feet go down your stairway
out into the darkness grim.
And back TO the yawning churchyard
go with the rising wind
But 4 sudden whisper holds me
Though dare not look behind.
Think, you, poor ghost, he loved YOU.
That YOU hasten 10 watch his rest,
When his heart was young he loved me,
was his first and best.
In the land of death he will claim me
Ere she finished living voice spoke:
Il heard your voice in nay chamber
! knew you and awoke,
60 back ts graves that claim YOU,
He is my husband true,
Who lives the life of mortal
And has no thoughts for you,
When the hand of death shall seize hin
Claim him then, if so you cam
Yours are the hearts of women.
His-is the heart of man.

How Long Man May Live.

1t was Professor Hufeland's opin-
ion that the limit of possible human
life might be set at two hundred
years. This is on the general prin-
ciple that the life of a creature is
eight times the years of its period of
growth. That which is quickly
formed quickly perishes, and the
earlier complete development is
reached the sooner bodily decay en-
sues. More women reach old ace
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
longevity among the classic Greeks
and Romans. Pliny notes that in
the reign of the Emperor Vespasian.
in the year 76, there were one hun
dred and twenty-four men living in
the limited area between the Appe-
mines and the Po of one hundred
and upward, three of whom were
one hundred and forty, and four
over one hundred and thirtv-five
ClcerO'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 notable authentic
instance of great age is that Of Henry
Jenkins, OF Yorkshire, England, who
died in 1870, one hundred and sixtv-
nine years old. He was a fisher
man, and at the age Of one hundred
easily SWAN across rapid rivers.
Another historic case is that OF
Thomas PaTr, of Shropshire. a dav
laborer, who lived to the age of one
hundred and ffty-two years. When
more than one hundred and twenty
he married his second wife. and till
one hundred and thirty ne could
swing the seytht and WELD the Aail
with the best Of his fellow-laborers.
In his one hundred and fifty-second
year Parr went up to London to ex-
hibit himself to the king. 1t proved
an unlucky visit, for violating the
abstemious habit of a century and q
halt, the old man feasted so freely
on the royal victuals that be soon
died, merely of a plethora. On ex-
animation 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 unfortunate taste of royal hos
pitality.
Professor Hufeland's roll of CEN
tenarians includes many more re-
markable cases, among them that of
Mitlestedt, Prussian soldier, who
served slxty-seven years under both
Fredericks, fighting many battles
and enduring much hard campaign
ing, and who, after all this, married
successively three wives. the last
when he was one hundred and ten.
