LONGEYITY OE MHSICIANS.

The notion is generally received that
musicians are short lived. The early
death of many famous musicians, such
as Mozart, Schubert, Mendelssohn,
Chopin, Bellini, Bizet and Sohuman,
have given rise to q popular idea that
music and long life are opposed. But,
in fact, the preponderance of evidence is
on the other side. Of the earlier musi-
clans Bach, Handel and Haydn were
all long lived. Beethoven was more
than Sc at the time of his death. Cher
bini lived to see his 91st birthday.
Many of the greatest living musicians
are old men. Hubert Rie is 70 !;
Franz Lachner and Sir Julius Benedict
are II; Heinrich Herr is rs; Sir Michael
Costa, Ignatz Lachner and Tichatschek
are "a Erthel, and Haupt, the famous
organist, are Il; Ferdinand Hitler, Liszt,
Kucken, Taubert and Ambrosia Thomas
are 70; Flotow is 60; Wagner is 50 ;
Henselt and Verdi are g.; Robert
Franz, Stephen Heller and Volckmann
are Sc; Gade and Sivori are 81; Gou-
nod, Gumbert, Kullak and Litolft are
81; Abt, Leonard and Clara Schu-
mann are g. The fact that by far the
greater number Of distinguished living
musicians are men of so years and over
is enough to show that the idea Of mu-
s1cians being short lived is mistaken
one.-Bertia Music Welt.

HASTY JUDGMENT.

Nothing is more unjust than to Judge
of man by too short an acquaintance,
and too slight inspection for it often
happens that in the loose and thought
less and dissipated there is secret radi-
cal worth, which may shoot out by
proper cultivation that the spark of
heaven, though dimmed and INSTRUCTED,
is yet not extinguished, but may, by the
breath of counsel and exhortation, be
kindled into flame. To imagine that
every one who is not completely good is
irrevocably abandoned, is to suppose
that all are capable Of the same degree
of excellence. 1t is, indeed, to exact
from all that perfection which none can
ever attain. And, since the purest viz
tue is consistent with some vice, and the
virtue of the greatest number with al
most an equal proportion of contrary
qualities, let none too hastily conclude
that all goodness is lost, though it may
for a time be clouded and overwhelmed,
for most minds are the slaves of external
circumstances and conform to any hand
that undertakes to mold them, roll down
any torrent of custom in which they
happen to be caught, or bend to any
importantly that bears hard against
them.-San1,teI johnson.

A MILES EARS.

United States Consul Aynie, of Yucca.
tar. relates the following:
Travelling in Yncatan is attended with
sa;ae difficulties, owing to the heat Of
t.ie day and the bad state of the roads.
! 70 avoid the heat all long journeys arc
performed at night; to mitigate the
roughness of the road peculiar style OF
vehicle is employed called volan. This
is q conveyance altogether peculiar to
Yucatan, not found anywhere else. 1t
might be called modified volante-in
common use in Cuba-only, instead Of
sitting up in it, you lie down. It has
two large wheels, and the body of the
concern is placed directly over the axle,
suspended upon high, very elastic
springs. The shafts are very long, and
framework projects behind, upon
which trunks may be secured, and from
which the body of the vehicle is sus-
pended at that end. 1t has a covered
canvas top, with curtains and bottom
of interlaced rope. Upon this springy
support is placed mattress. It is al
ways drawn by three mules-one in the
shafts and one on either -harnessed
in by such combination of leather and
rope that no stranger could by any pos
sibility disentangle them. These mules
are generally very small, but make up
for this by generous length of ears,
which are carried along their backs.
Speaking of ears, friend of mine
travelling here told me that he once had
mule with very fine ears, so long that
they met behind his back. They were
continually in his way, as the mule
couldn't help Tapping them, and FIRE.
quently knocked my friend-who is
very staid and truthful man-off his sad
die. Though very humane man, as
well as veracious, he couldn't stand this
sort OF thing every day, SO what did he
do? Well, he thought over it while,
and then hit upon plan. He inoculat-
ed one of the mules ears with wart,
and then by cutting slit in the other
he had natural button and button-hole,
by means Of which he buttoned the ears
together under his mules tail. This
was pleasant for while-for my friend
but he soon saw his mistake. That
wart kept growing, and he had to extend
the button-hole to keep pace with it un-
til those ears were hardly anything else
but wart and button hole.
Another unc omfortable thing about it
was thai, when the mule wanted to wag-
gle his ears-for mule is so constituted
that he must wag certain number of
times day or die-he had to dismount,
tie the animal to tree and pry the ears
apart with button hook. I asked him
how much the ears measured, and he
said he didn't know, but the mule had
caused him to measure his length
several times.

THE FUTURE OF THE MORMON
SY-STEM

SYSTEM
In the Century, the illegal Aspects
of the Mormon Problem" are discussed
by Arthur G.. Sedgwick, who concludes
as follows:
The failure of the attempt to break
up the Mormon system by Congressional
legislation does not, by any means, show
that the Mormon system will ultimately
prevail in Utah. The operation of nat
ural causes is certain, in the long run,
to sap the foundations of polygamy.
The railroads have already brought the
Territory into communication with the
rest of the country, and the development
of the mines must ultimately bring in q
large Gentle population-almost alto
gether male. A strong tendency in the
direction of marriages between Gentle
men and the daughters of Mormon par
ents must spring up. Indeed, this is
said to show itself already. There is no
surplus of women in the West from
which to recruit poly gamous households;
the births of the two sexes are always
very nearly equal, and the Mormon
population is no longer being rapidly
increased from abroad, as it was in the
times of the early persecution of the
church. 1t is now stationary, or nearly
so, and being rapidly hemmed in by q
community having social system which
oil experience shows is the only one per-
manently adapted to modern industrial
life. As the Territory fills up, and the
Mormons are brought more and more
| into relations with the rest of the world,
one of the strongest internal causes. Of
disintegration will unquestionably be the
sense of shame operating upon the
younger female generation. In the nat
ural course of things, some of the daugh-
tiers of Mormon househoiders must marry
Gentiles, and others, who do not marry
outside the church, will be made keenly
aware that they are surrounded by a
community which regards their position
as degraded one. AS long as they
could keep themselves separated from
the rest of the world, this GENTLE feel
ing was of very little consequence to
them. 1t did not affect them in their
daily life; it was something remote from
them, which they did not even need to
disregard. This cannot continue for
ever, and indeed change must begin,
if it has not begun already, as soon as
the surrounding monogamic Gentle sys-
tenn of marriage has fair opportunity
to enter into competition with its rival.
Under these circumstances, there is
nothing to be done with the Mormons
but to let them alone. Persecution has
been tried, and has only served to
strengthen and increase them. Law has
been tried, and has proved of no use,
because it has not been enforced. From
the circumstances of the case, it cam
not be.

In England the cider apple is princi-
pally grown in Herefordshire and Devon
sh' o, and in portions of Worcestershire,
Monmouthshire, Worcestershire, Dorset
shire, Somersetshire and Cornwall; and
on the other side of the British channel
must be mentioned Jersey, Normandy
and Brittany. Many farmer counts, in
good year, upon paying his rent by
his cider harvest. Although its value in
relation to other beverages is not great,
it is astonishing how important factor
it is in successful farming in those dis
tricts, and what a respectable piece de
resistance is good cellarful of this
drink. Throughout the summer, but
especially in hay and harvest-fimc, the
quantity consumed by the farm-laborer
would astonish the Acknowledgement
town operative, it being considered
nothing unusual for him to dispose of
his two to three gallons in day; and
the farmer, his sons and his servants,
and in many cases his whole household,
make use of hardly any other drink
throughout the year. If the farmers
stock runs dry in consequence of
meager harvest, he is obliged to procure
the cider at any price, for the laborers
will insist upon regular allowance of
their favorite refreshment. In some dis
tricts the use of beer is gradually being
substituted in certain establishments for
that of cider; but this is not so much to
be regretted as the more baneful con-
sumption of cheap spirituous liquors.
Notwithstanding SO great consumption
of what is sometimes not much better
than vinegar, cider-drinking does not
appear to be fraught with any very seri-
GUS results At most of the tables d'hote
in Normandy and Brittany decanters of
cider are supplied gratis; and the thirsty
wayfarer peod only visit restaurateur
to procure a quart of that liquor for
about alf-pence. He may sometimes
chance to have the produce of the first
pressure applied to the apples, and which
the grower calls gros cidre; but he is
more likely to have to content himself
with the second extract, or petit cidre, a
watery, though still not quite innocuous,
liquid. chambers Journal.

THE BEST ANTIDOTE AGAINST IN.
FICTION.

FICTION
It is terrible to read of infectious dis
eases with which we are still troubled.
There are whole districts now trembling
or fear that small pox will invade them
or spread within them towns are dread
ing the coming of malarial fevers others
are already suffering under diphtheria,
while scarlet fever, measles, etc., are not
even mentioned.
We think that certain class of anti
dotes have never become sufficiently APP
preciated in these cases. There is one
especially which we would wish to men,
ton, the fumes of boiling malt vinegar.
They dispel infectious particles rap
idly and kill their virulence, particularly
if used in time. Where these fumes are
used, windows and doors should be
closed and not opened for about twenty
minutes. After this time the fresh air
can be freely admitted. When these
fumes are used repeatedly. disease will
assuredly be kept off.
This is also an excellent preventive
among cattle and sheep against infeo.
ton, and even curative in certain
cases. The great power of acids to dis
pei and kill malarial particles is not suf-
ficiently appreciated, and any one can
make trial in the simplest form by
allowing the fumes of boiling vinegar to
spread about.-F0od and Health.

Naples is the largest city in Italy
nearly twice as large as any other-with-
in $4,000 of Chicago: and this dense
multitude live and move and have their
beng in budding hives, from which
they swarm like bees. This is believed
to be their only resemblance to bees.
They are as lazy as they are dirty. A
Neapolitan's idea of heaven is to sit on a
drivers seat and crack the whip over the
head of a gothic horse. He seldom
strikes the horse, but cracking the whip
is special accomplishment of Naples,
as mosaics are of Florence. In only two
things have I ever seen Neapolitan dis
play any vigor-cracking his whip and
scratching his back.
Dirty the Neapolitan is the dirtiest
living creature. Nine-tenths of the peo-
pie on the street look as if they had
worn their clothes for years, and ex-
pected to wear them without washing
till they drop off. They are generally
of some hempen stuff, or tow-cloth,
once white. One garment seems to be
considered enough, and two super
fully.
Many of the workmen are constantly
seen going about their shops and even
the streets with nothing on but pair of
trousers, and saw one stop in crowded
street and deliberately take off his trous-
ers to look for flea. Boys from to
-, entirely naked, may be seen walking
leisurely through the principal streets
for blocks to the bath-house. I never
saw SO many children without scrap of
clothing on them in my life as within
the past week; and it is real shock to
the moral sense of the members of
Cooks vacation party, late from land
where modesty is regarded as virtue

One day Farmer who was working
in the Field heard great noise in q
Thicket, and upon proceeding to the
Spot he discovered Clam and Jackal

Jackal was splitting blood and lmping

the Clam as he caught sight Of the
Farmer.
"And SO am II" added the Jackal.
"And why this fierce struggle ?" asked
the Farmer as he sat down on stone
between them.
"I'll tell you in very few words"
said the Clam. "This Jackal went out
of his way to ridicule my speech. Now,

good grammar in my talk, and I'll leave
it to you if I dont?"
"That wasn't what raised the Row."
protested the Jackal. st was walking
along the Sand when this Clam made
fun of my Gait. I don't claim to be as
graceful as Cow, but the Clam had no
business to say that my Walk reminded
him Of milk-stool running away with
a Barn-yard."
"My friends" replied the Farmer, as
Hornet settled down on the back of
his neck, "you are both wrong. In the
first place, if the Jackal had kept to the
Woods the Clam would never have mo-
ticed his awkward Gait. In the second
place, if the Clam had kept his Mouth
shut the Jackal could have found no
fault with his Grammar. Moral: GIN

he carefully lifted the Farmer over the

A PoRrABLE GARDEN.

Here is some advice from the Scholars
Compaaion about cultivating the kind
OF garden that young reople and old
carry around with the1a:
Every one has - garden called Con.
versation. IF the unpleasant words
which blossom into thoughts are kept
out, the garden becomes beautiful and
interesting. There are a few kinds of
weeds which unconsciously creep into
this garden; and, unless they are put
down, or, better, pulled out, they iniure
and spoil the good flowers.
/. Ufatrttth.-This is dark leaved and
so small at first that it is scarcely no
ticed. In its early stages it is called
exaggeration. You are not sure whether
you saw three or four things, and you
say four. The next time the number
becomes larger, and so the weed grows
until it is strong and hardy. Be sure
and pull it up.
2. Slang. This spoils many garden
of choice flowers. 1t is sometimes over
looked among boys, but is not consid-
cred to have any beauty.
3. Bad Grammar is a COM
mon weed. found in gardens of unedu-
Gated and careless persons. 1t grows
slowly, but steadily, and finds a place
beside the nicest-looking flowers. There
are number of varieties, and among
them are ST seen" which chokes up 81
saw" or ST have seen ;"- "it's her'n, -
which grows out it is hers" and sit
is me-" which grows close to the little
plant "it is l."
4. Gossir.-Every one knows this
ugly weed, which works mischief wher-
ever it appears. 1t is one of the worst
varieties, and has been known to COM
pletely overlun and spoil the gardens
in which it was allowed to grow.
These are the principal weeds which
find their way into the garden of Con-
versation. Examine the one belonging
to you and see what weeds are gaining
Roadway.

WONDERFUL COW.

In view of the fact that there is at
present general revival Of interest in
everything pertaining to the dairy and
its products, the following from an ex-
change will be interesting to butter
makeRs:
The American trotter is of recent orr
gin, and, during the lifetime Of compare
lively young men now living, has re-
duced the record from $50 to about
2:10 per mile, or nearly twenty seconds,
or, as our business men would say, over
Sper cent.
This spirit Of progress has not been
confined to the breeding and training Of
roadster horses, but American breeders
Of dairy cattle have made equally as
creditable record and if breeders on
the other side Of the Atlantic have made
careful tests that win compare with the
following we should like to publish their
records:
The best yearly butter record is that
of Eurotas 2, 454, owned by A. B. OAR
ling, of Ramsey, N. ]. During the
test Of Eurotas 2, 454, which occupied
eleven months and six days lending Oct
Is, 1880, she made 77s pounds of but
ter from 1925 pounds of milk, averaging
one pound of butter from less than ten
pounds of milk. In the month of June,
1880, she made lightweight pounds of
butter. The monthly record of Eurotas
2,454 has been exceeded by Lady Nell
second l, 795, owned by Charles F. Mills,
of Springfield, Ill. Lady Nell second
1,795 dropped her calf in March, and
her milk was kept separate. and the
cream therefrom churned by itself, from
the 18th day of April to the 18th day Of
june (sixty-one days., during which
period her cream produced 1873 pounds
of butter-ninety pounds of butter per
month of thirty days - twenty-one
pounds per week, or three pounds per
day. Lady Nell second 1,795 was 5
years old when the test was made, and
gave during the trial an average of
eighteen quarts~of milk per day. The
best weekly yields of the above-named
cows have been exceeded by Jersey Belle
of Scituate 1928, now dead. This COW
has q well-authenticated record of
twenty-five pounds and two ounces in
one week. The three cows above
named have the best yearly, monthly
and weekly butter records, and we con-
fdent.y expect, at no late date, that the
records viii be improved. Perform
ances. and not fancy points, are the
essential matters that attract the atten-
tion of the practical Jersey breeder of
the day. who first inquiries as to the
number of fourteen to twenty-pound
cows in the pedigree of the sire or dam
that he wishes to purchase.
