the Jones family to have the Psdi yrses

but they managed to worry along, and
in due time the Jones boys grew to be
men and entered upon the serious busi-
ness Of life. one Of them to such good

under the persistent practice of dentis-
try. So literally is this true that few
Of our people can smile without giving
surface indications Of gold. The
facetious mathematician of the New
York Times surmises that, at the present
rate OF disappearance, our gold supply
will have been deposited in American
cemeteries in not less than 800 years.
What then? viii unfeeling spectators

Greenwood Bonanza Company" and
to pablish q prospectus asserting that
surface indications of gold-bearing
citizens are particularly rich in its
territory; that i has erected mill
capable Of crushing twenty fuiLgrown
or thirty Juvenile jaws daily. and that,
70 far as its mining operations have
been conducted, the yield has averaged
seventy ounces of gold to every ton Of
deceased citizen? Will decent people
be willing to see prospectors digging in
every graveyard in the country, and will
mourning friends calmly submit to see .
rich corpse Of recently dead citizen
jzmped" by some ardent miner? It
is scarcely probable that this violation
Of cemeteries and this crushing and
smelting of gold-bearing citizens will be
permitted II Spectators attempt any
thing Of the kind, there will be endless
disputes hatHeen mining companies
and the heirs Of the occupants of ceme-
teries. The authorities will have to
give their whole attention to preserving
the peace, and the advocates of the re-
covery Of gold and its restoration to its
former place in the currency of the
world will be called "ghouls by the
silver men, which, on the whole, is
rather worse word than "Shylocks>
The only way in which the disappear
ance Of gold can be prevented is by find
ing substitute for it as material for
filing teeth. II this is done in time,
gold may cont tinue in circulation. If it
is not done, the triumph of the silver
mine owners is inevitable and only a
century distant.

z. ]. White relates in the Providence
Press the following incident Of the war.
described to him, in company with Gen.
Garfield, on q Southern railway train,
by the lady who was the heroine Of the
story:
The lady was q resident Of Mem
phis, returning from visit to Connecti-
cut, and her nieces were to spend the
winter with her in the South. During
the war she had lived in the part Of Ken
tucky through which we were riding,
and Gen. Garfield had seen important
military service in the same section.
She was young in 1851, and her lover
had gone into the Confederate army. In
one Of the Kentucky battles he was des-
perately wounded, and as the Confeder-
ates were defeated he had to be left
upon the field. His sweetheart, with q
devotion which is the glory Of her sex,
accompanied only by . child, went to
the field almost before the battle was
over, to And him and to save his life.
She said that she had never attempted
to describe the horrible sceVes she wit.
messed upon that battlefield, although
they were stamped indalibly upon her
memory. Her heart was strong and her
purpose 80 determined that she walked
among the dead and dying iu search Of
her loved one, almost uumoved, aud was
finally rewarded by finding him. He
was nnzGsd back to life, and subsequent.
ly became the husband Of the heroic
woman whona even 4tha terroIs of the
battlefield could not keep from his side
in his hour Of gzsat peril. The most
touching part 'of the lady's narrative
which was rnodestly related, with moth
ing in her tone and manner to show
consciousness OF having done ythin2
but commonplace act, was the tribut.
she paid to the Union officers and sol
diers with whom she came in contact.
She had no words too eloquent to dc
scribe their chivalry and gsntleness
toward he, or their readiness even Al
such tine, when everything was con-
fusion, to i've .,er all the assistance in
their power

w. n. H. BARTON, of Yarmouth,
Mass, has invented machine which he
calls pulse meter, as it is operated by
the pulse. This machine, which has
taken him four years to make, when
placed on the wrist, records the pulse.
At every beat hand advances one de-
gree over dial, thus recording the num-
Der Of beats. Another hand sweeps over
. graduated scale, which shows the force
or intensity of the pulse. More remark
able still, hammer is made to strike a
bell and give forth clear and distinct
sound, thus making the human pulse
audible as we'll as visible.

years ago some Michigan lumbermen
discovered q chssin-link protruding
through the bark of tree, and in cut
ting it out traced its continuance to /,
steel trap which was thoroughly i'm
bedded out of sight in the wood. The
trustees of an old burying ground in
New Jersey, while removing the growths
of large timber, the falling of whose
branches frequently broke valuable
monuments, were engaged in removing
large willow which had diameter Of
over five feet. Digging deep among the
roots, two footstones were found COM
pletely enveloped and held fast by the
roots which had grown about them,
while in saving off the trunk about
three feet abovs the ground at q depth
of fifteen inches the saw struck hard
substance, and, on stopping to loosen it,
footstone was discovered fully imbed-
ded in the solid wood

NOW LOSG NAN MAY LITE.

It was Prof. Hufeland's opinion that
the limit Of possible human life might
be set at 200 yesrs. This on the general
principle that the life Of . creature is
eight times the years Of its period OF
growth. That which is quickly formed
quickly perishes, and the earlier COM
plete development il reached tho sooner
bodily. decay ensues. More women
reach old age than men, but more men
attain remarkable longevity than women.
Some animals grow to be very old.
Horned animals live shorter lives than
those without horns, fierce longer than
timid; and amphibious longer than those
which inhabit the air. The voracious
pike exists, it is said, to an age of 150
years; the turtle is good for 100 years
or more and among birds the golden
eagle is known to have lived nearly 200
years, while the sly and somber crow
reaches the venerahls age of century.
Passing up in the scale Of life to man,
and skipping the patrinrchs, we find
many recorded instances of longevity
among the classic Greeks and Romans.
P..iny notes that in the reign Of the En-
peror Vespasian, in the year rs, there
were 124 men living in the limited area
between the Apprentices and the Po Of
100 years and upward, three of whom
were 40 and four over135 Ciceros wife
lived to the age Of 103, and the Roman
actress Luceja played in public as late
as her 112th year.
Coming down to more recent times
the most notable authentic insts nee Of
great age is that of Henry Jenkins, Of
Yorkshire, England, who died in 1870,
1863 years old. He was fisherman, and
at the age of 100 easily SWAN across
rapid rivers. Another historic case is
that of Thomas Parr, of Shropshire, a
day laborer, who lived to the age of 152
years. When more than 100 he married
hAS oCSoiAu WAICB uuu uAIl AoV uo COUId
swing the scythe and wield the fail with
the best Of his fellow-laborers. In his
152d year Parr went up to London to
exhibit himself to the King. It proved
on unlucky visit, for, violating the alb
stemious habit of century and half,
the old man feasted so freely on the
royal victuals that he soon died merely
of plethora. On examina ton his in
tsrnal organs proved to be in excellent
condition, and there was NO reason why
he should not have lived much longer
ave for this unfortunate taste of royal
hospitality. Prof. ,Hufeahnd's roll Of
esntenarians includes many more 1e-
markable cases, among them that OF
Mittlestedt, Prussian soldier, who
served sixty-seven years under both the
Fredericks, fighting marry battles, and
enduring much hard cam, ,adgning, and
who, after all this, married ,ucces.ively
three wives, the last when he was ITO,
only two years before his death.

The whale is the largest fish that
srims IN the sea and it is probably the
most useful. II is. Of course, captured
Tor it's oil, but there is part Of its body
which commerce has made an extensive
use Otto the enrichment Of many men.
In the upper jaw Of the whale are thin,
parallel lamin~, varying in size from
three to twelve feet in length. These
are called whalebone, and all above ak
feet in length is called size bone, .
quality which commands the highest
price. Whalebone once brought very
high price. especially when hoopskirts
were more in fashion than they are to-
day. The Dutch formerly received
%, 500 for ton Of whalebone, but since
l763 it has never brought anything like
that price. In 1918 it brought $3.50 .
ton, in 1894 from $3.50 to $545, and 1874
it varied from 81 ,O8O for Southern to
81, $50 for Northern bone. As the whale
becomes scarce Of course whalebone will
rise in the market, and at present she
Dutch and the Scotch whalers ore doing
very poor business. The Americans
also complain, ard now that this is tho
case the inventive genius of man is try
ing hard to find the best whalebone.
This is obtained from Greenland whale.
From the mouth of one of these mon
sters from 1900 to 5000 pounds are
often taken. The manufacture of whale
bone into articles of use and ornament
is not SO extensive as one might imag-
inc. 1t is principally confined to New
York and Boston, four manufactures
being i'll the. former and three in the
latter. When the raw whaiebone is
first received at the factory the hair is
cut off the slabs. They are then soaked
in water until they are soft, after which
they are scraped OF all the gum that ad-
heres to them. They are next pu. in a
steam box, where a workman struiyht.
ems them with knife; they are final y
polished, and are then ready to be made
use of for any purpose that tic DIR. sser
may see fit. Whalebone is princi ;aily
used nowadays in the manufacture Of
whips and corsets. Umbrella frames
used to be made altogether of whale.
bone, but since its scarcity and high
price steel is mostly used for this pur-
pose. Whalebone hats and whalebone
ribbon have just come into vogue. The
former look very beautiful and are very
comfortable on the head. " Whales. like
reals, do not get time TO grow, for they
are slaughtered n,ercilessly, young and
old, in the pursuit of wealth, Ts,e old
ones are often killed before the yoyag
are able to take care of themselves. and
the result Of this cruelty is loss of
thousands and thousands of whales and
seals in year, Mankind will have to
be more thoughtful in the work Of
slaughter if it wishes to be better COM
pensated by these animals, and the
whale must be let alone for few years
if the ladies' ara to have fine corsets and
the gentlemen fine walking-sticks and
riding whips. Brooklyn Eagle.
