The Live Stock Business.

Although there is not the wild and
visionary vision of wealth connected
with the live stock business as there is
in mining schemes, still there is enough
in it, with its rapid gains and increases,
to induce great many people of the
East to invest money in anything that
happens to come their way with brand
on it. The purchaser discovers, of
course, after it is too late, that the COM
pany never existed, except on paper,
and that the great and unreasonable
dividends promised in the prospectus
were but clever bait with which TO
catch the sucker. Now these paper COM
panies exist to a great extent through.
out the West A few venturesome and
penurious men organize stock COM
pany with a good capital, incorporate
it and have it made matter of record
in the Secretary of States office. They
own not q horn or q hoof, neither dc
they expect or want to own any. But
an agent floods the section he desires
to work with prospectuses setting forth
what enormous dividends can be de.
rived from investing in the company he
represents, the number of cattle now
owned by them, and the great and un-
natural increase that would surely
follow in the numbers of the herd.
Suckers are readily found, and the
agent and incorporators are happy.
There are numbers of these snide affairs
in Colorado, and it would be well for
the legitimate companies to begin a
tour of investigation, run them down
and compel them to cease their nefari.

Deaths From Old Are.

"To die of old age" is the object of
ambition to large number of persons,
who carefully nurse their health with
the view, not of escaping death alto
gether, for they know this to be impos-
sible, but of eking life out to its utmost
limits. The art of prolonging life in
this fashion appears TO be less well un-
derstood now than formerly. The Reg
istrar General, in his report for 1882,
lately published, observes that the
many years been diminishing in their
proportion TO the population, and in
1882 were fewer in proportion than in
any former year. As old age is the
natural termination of life, and the all
ments of which all prefer eventually to
die, this aggregate falling-of in the
mortality from this cause, if real, would
not be an indisputable advantage. But
doubtless mnch of the falling off under
this heading is merely due TO gradual
improvement in the specification of the
causes of which the old die. This, how
ever, does not account for all the APP
parent decline in the mortality. For
there was in each of the three years,
1880, 1881. and 1882 sensible decline
in the mortality of persons of advanced
age from all causes; and in 1882 es-
pecially the death rate of persons fifty
five years of age and upward, whether
males or females, was lower than it had
been for many years, probably than it
had ever been before. The main fac
tor that determines the death rate of
the aged is temperature, and especially
the temperature of the winter months
and in 1882 the mean temperature OF
each of the six months of the first and
fourth quarters was above the average.
In fact, the best advices that can be
given to old people anxious to linger on
in this planet is: "Keep yourselves

The superiority of Wells, Richardson s

Nothing is more fatal to woman's
power to please in general society than
the habit of valuing her own opinions
too much and those of other people too
little. Nothing renders the observer so
incredulous of woman's superiority
rs her assumption of superiority. 1t is
very difficult to accept at her own esti-
mate the woman who announces her
convictions with an air from which
there is no appeal. You may learn by
and by that she is person of genuine
thought of intellectual energy and SUI
perior power of insight, and because
these qualities are too rare TO be in any
way undervalued you endure much
chaG with the wheat, much dross with
the pure gold, because pure gold is not
so common as not TO be something of
an object even under depressing con-
dtions. But why, you will sometimes
question, must she neutralize so much
of the desirable qualities by drawing on
ones tolcration for the undesirable?
Why cannot the woman who is wise be
also winningP Why shall she com.
municate her impressions and ideas
with the manner OF one who is an
nouncing sttaute lawP Between the
two extremes of the woman of positive
manner and habit of authoritative
announcement, and that of an amiable
woman whose conversational abilities
are yet of the frivolous inanities of life,
it is quite possible to even prefer the
latter as constancy; amiability, gen
erosity of view and sweetness of spirit
far transcend mere intellectual energy,
if accompanied by dogmatic air and
depressing habit of unfavorable criti-
cism. Better obtuseness to any degree
than the keen vision that discerns
faults alone. Your range of mutual
acquaintances may include Neros and
Lucretia Borgias for aught you know,
but too prolonged and too frequent
discussion of their shortcomings is apt
to grow monotonous. - Boston Cor.
