A Later Methuselah.

A stone in the graveyard adjoining
the old Concord school house above
Washington lane, Germantown, bears
this inscription In memoryof Adam
Shisler, who departed this life Decem-
Der the 22d, I'M, aged 969. 1t is
easier to read the inscription than to
believe that Mr.. Shisler lived TO the
age ascribed to him. An explanation
of the curious affair is that the stone
cutter made a mistake in marking the
stone, giving the mans age as SO in
stead of 60 which it really was. To
correct this the 80 was filed with
cement and another figure cut after
the 80. y But time and frost loosened
the cement, and now the once obliter-
ated figure tells a curious tale and ap-
pears as distinct as the'others.

How 10 Winter Bees.
Prom Rural New Yorker.

As the winter again approaches,
bee keepers begin to inquire how they
may safely winter their bees This
matter Of wintering is the only ele-
ment in agriculture that is precarious,
and when we remember that such men
as John Davis, of Michigan, with his
scores Of colonies, and Q. 0, PopPle-
ton. of Iowa. with his hundreds Of
colonies, and d. A. Jones, Of Onta-
rio, with his thousands, all located in
the cold. bleak North, winter without
loss every winter, may we not con
clude that wintering is only preca-
rious as men are ignorant or careless
With the requisite knowledge, and an
equal amount Of care, it is more than
probably that universal success might
come with every winter.
AS Mr. Poppleton says, to insure
safe wintering, preparations should
commence early in the season. The
colonies should be kept strong, and
should be kept breeding, by stlmula-
tive feeding If that is necessary, till
well INTO September, that there may
be the proper number Of young bees.
Some ee-keepers ridicule this idea,
but such men as Jones hold il TO be
very essential.
As soon as frost comes, at least as
early as October list, when the work
of the year is over, the bees Of each
hive should be given at least 30 lbs.

characteristics of Eyes.


The eve shows character. The eyes
of great warriors have almost always
been gray, their brows lowering like
laundering clouds. Inventors have
large eyes, very full. Philosophers,
the most illustrious, have had large
and deep-set eyes. The poets all have
large. full eyes musicians eyes are
large and lusrous, Button considers
that the most beautiful eyes are the
black and blue We think we have
seen black and blue eyes that were far
from beautiful. Byron says the ga
Zelle viii weep at the sound of music.
The gazelle'S eyes have been called
the most beautiful in the world, and
the greatest compliment an Arab can
pay his mistress is to compare her
eyes TO a gazelles Cleopatra had
black eyes. Mary, Queen Of Scots,
had liquid gray eyes. Dark eyes show
power, light eyes gentleneSs and gray
eyes sweetness. There is great mag
netic power in the eyes of several OF
the lower animals. The lions the
tigers and the serpents eyes are all
magnetic It is well known the ser
pent will charm birds that are flying
above it, until in great circles they
will sweep down to the destruction
that awaits them. A friend of the
writer, a doctor, was one day walking
in the field, when he saw an adder ly-
ing on rock. He drew near to eX-
anime it, and presently looked at its
eyes. He was attracted by their great
beauty, and Involuntary stepped for
ward two or three steps Beautiful
I light flowed from them and seemed to
battle the very coils of the serpent.
Gradually he drew closer. until, just
as he was almost within the reptiles
reach, he fell, feeling, as he said after
ward, as though he had been struck
with a stone When he became con
scious his head was in a friends lap.
His first words were "NNho struck
mel' mo one struck you doctor;
saw you were charmed by the snake,
and | struck it with stone He had
struck the snake and the doctor had
felt the blow.

(Which Died First"

4 curious instance of the relative
value Of local time at each of two distant
points of longitude, was developed in
Washington recently. The deaths of
two naval officers were announced TO
the Navy Department. Paynaster
Zachary 4. Brown died at the Pensa-
cola Navy Yard, the victim of yellow
fever, and Lieutenant Boutelle Noyes
d:ed on board the frigate Richmond,
flagship of the Asiatic fleet, at Yoke
hama, by accident The cable dispatch
from Rear Admiral Crosby, announc-
ing Moves death, was dated August
%, and stated that the officer was
killed at 10 A. NJ. this morning The
announcement of Paymaster Brown S
death was dated August %, and stated
that he died at 80 last night The
question was raised, Which died
firstG" Both officers were members of
the Navy Mutual Aid Association.
The rule of the association is that on
the death of member, each Of the
surviving members shall pay in GER
tain amounts, which 60 to make M
the benefit to be turned over to the
family of the dead member Each
memberpays in yearly a fixed amount,
which is held by the Trustees, so that
on a death the assessments can be made
at once and the officer credited with
the sum taken. In this case it was
necessary to determine whether Lieu
tenant Noyes fees should pay an as
sessment for Paymaster Browns
family, or Browns TO the former.
The officers at the Naval Observatory
were called upon, and after comput-
ing the difference of local time be
tween the Pensacola Navy Yard and
Yokohama, found that while Lieuten-
ant Noyes was killed at 10 A. NJ and
Paymaster Brown died at 7;30 =. M.
Of August %, Brown had in fact died
nearly day earlier than Noyes.
Persons familiar with mathematics,
as applied to time, measurements and
to navigation, will understand this
seeming paradox. Admiral Crosby 5
dispatch referred to, was received at
Washington before 10 A. M. Of the
2Sth, according to local time.

Invention of an Electric Gun.

One Of themost interesting novelties
at the Vienna international Exhibi-
ton is an electric gun. The powder
is fired by means Of a piece Of platinum
IN the cartridge, and the electric cur
rent necessary for heating the plati-
nun is obtained from a little accumu-
lator, which must be worn in belt
specially devised fer that purpose.
Besides the accumulator and belt, a
glove and shoulder strap are necessary.
The glove is worn on the left hand,
and is connected with enc pole eEthe
accumulator. the strap with the other.
All this would. it must be confessed,
be a rather formidable addition TO a
soldiers accoutrements, and one is
hardly surprised to hear that the in.
ventors do not expect their patent
TO be Immediately adopted in all the
European armies
Meanwhile they point out that the
electric gun affords several advantage
besides the charm Of novelty, which
ought TO commend it othe sportsman
Ia the first place, it rs said TO be very
economical and what new application
Of electricity is ever said to be any
thing else at Grst2 There is no great
saving on the gun or cartridges, but
then only quarter Of the ordinary
charge Of powder is necessary. More
over the gun is economical OF time
and trouble. The cartridges serve
many times over, and there Is none OF
the bother Of taking off the old caps.
But the browning merit which is
claimed for The electric gun is that II
IS warranted never to "kick . If this
warranty be really true, the applica.
ton Of electricity to sport ought not 70
be long delayed

He had iast got his oysteleshop

when in came a man who asked
Got any raws3N
Yes, sir

1--WE do.
Extra large :"
eve have some Of the largest oys-
tiers | ever saw"
The price was asked and given, and
as it seemed to be perfectly satiSfac-
tory the man ordered a dozen and
added:
I've got a slight contraction of the
muscles of the throat, and sometimes
l choke. If anything happens TO me
run me to the door where | can get
tho air and then rush for drink of
water.
The caterer promised TO observe the
caution, but it was only when the
twelfth and last oyster was taken in
between two rows of teeth which
stood out like tenpenny nails that any
thing happened. Then the eater sud
denly raised one leg, his eyes bulged
out, and he began To skip around like
a goat lodging n club. The choke had
come. The caterer seized him by the
arm and ushered him to the door, and
then hurried to the rear end of the
restaurant for a glass of water When
he returned with it, half expecting to
see the customer lying ON the floor in
the agonies of sultocation, no one was
IN sight Theman was not in the door,
nor at the door, nor around the door,
He was two blocks away, and the
I twelfth oyster had gone down TO keep
company of the other eleven.
Just exactly another such thing
won't happen in that place again.
Some other man with contracted throat
may start in to play the game, but be
fore he has eaten his second oyster he
will be dispatched with hickory club,
and his body sent to some medical
college to find where the loose spoke
was.
