How Old May a Man Live d?

In Bessarabian province lives one
Savtchuk, who, at last accounts, was
one hundred and thirty years old. He
is what is called a little Russian by
birth. His eldest son is eighty-se
years old. and is far more decrepit than
the father. The one family has multi
piled into fifty families. The age of this
Russian is, of course, not as well au-
thenticated as that of old Parr, the
Englishman. 1t has been noted that
reported cases of extreme old age al
ways occur in the ranks of the very
poor whose date OF birth can rarely be
verified, while kings. mobiles and men,
bers of noted families, whose records
are kept, in no age or country have ever
lived q hundred years. Generalizing
from this fact, distinguished English
writer, Mr.. Lewes. gives it, as his judg-
ment, that it is very doubtful if any hui
man being can claim the distinction of
being centenarian. Yet from the
analogy of the animal races, every child
that is well born should live a century.
The rule seems to be that animals live
five times the length of their
adolescence, that is they ought
to live five times longer than
the period it takes to attain their full
growth. There is no question but what
the whole human race does not enjoy
the health and vigor which it is possible
to attain. There is some defect in the
constitution of even the strongest of our
race. In the golden age of humanity
yet to come, every child will be well
born. Its life and habit will conform
to the scientific laws controlling our
existence on this earth, and then mans
environment will help him to active the
highest possible physical vitality. To-
day the great bulk Of the human race
are born with weak strains in their blood.
They eat improper food. use hurtful
stimulsnts as drink. They are poisoned
by malarias and subject to contagious
due to their surroundings. The two
great objects of the best men and wom-
en- in this life should be first to improve
the race itself. morally and physically.
and secondly, to make this earth on
which man lives . fit abode for the
superior people who will then occupy it.

Our Young Folks.
TIE CHILDREN.

There is such crowd of you. boys and girls.
You are thronging Ia every place;
If we did not conquer you now and then
You would MI up all the space.
You take the world as if it were your own,
You merrily laugh and sing,
As il there were not fading time,
And life could be always spring.
In the midst of your mirth and noise,
For old heads ache. and old hearts fail,
And can not share your joys.
But the world belongs to you, after all,
:. And others aside must stand,
That you may be able to do and dare. z@a=sa&~
And be masters in the land.
You are so busy at school and play
That you have no thought to spare
For the problems that puzzle the grown-up
folks,
And make them gray with care.
But you are the people. my happy ones;
And all that we do to-day
For " w:li 4 S' ion r ia y
We are quick to give to you praise and blame;
What will you give us, when
You weigh, as judges. our words and deeds
In the time when you are the men?
What win you think of the laws we make
When you read the records through?
And the manners and customs OF church and
And the cities we build for your
Bows, be generous; girls. be fairl -
We are trying to do our best.
We are beginning some good brave work
Ills for you to do the rest.
Through misty mooriand and fog-fflled street,
We are seeking for greater light:
But for you there is breaking above the world
A day that is passing bright
Toilers are we. who are well content
To work for the Nations need
We have been delving the gold to find,
We have been sowing seed.
Good times to live in we leave to you,
And rights that were hard to win;
Be worthy of the better times.
And gather our harveSts in.

Let the Radical Rave.

If the Democrats had carried out q
negative policy by electing a Speaker of
the House of Representative who would
have done nothing during the session of
the Forty-eighth Congress, the Repub-
licans would have pointed to the Demo-
cratic party in 1884 as party of silence
and equivocation. And now that a
fearless man of honest convictions has
been chosen-a man who stands as the
exponent of an intelligent policy, the
Republicans are attempting to array the
minority of our party against the ma
iority, hoping to cause a split in time
for the Presidential campaign.
But the Democratic party was never
more united than it is to day, and all
insiduous attempts to cause disaffec-
ton will prove futile. The Republican
press, with few exceptions, is attack
ing the Carlisle policy; but so much the
better for, the Democrats. Opposition
to rings and jobs, revenue reform and
honest administration of public affairs
will constitute the ground upon which
the Democrats will work and fight
The Republican party would try to
make capital out of any course that the
opposing party might adopt. Whether
we remained in negative, silent posi-
ton, or whether we chose an ag-
gressive policy, the Republicans
would attack US. But the truth re-
mains all the same that the Republican
party is a party of corruption and sec
tiOnal passion; that 1t connives at in
EQUITY and lets rascals 60 UNPUBLISHED;
that its favorite method is to carry
elections by Government machinery;
that its object is to centralize the Gov
eminent and thus suppress the voice of
freedom; that its sympathies are with
the monopolists as against the people.
1t does not surprise us, them to see
these corrupt politicians frantically cry
ing out against the peoples party,
which represents the policy Just the re-
verse of that of the corruption party.
Speaker Carlisle is an outspoken
statesman, and we have confidence i'm
his ability to preside over the House IN
a manner that will reflect the greatest
credit upon the Democratic party.
Let the Republicans continue with
their ring policy, and let the Demo-
Gratis stand together in their opposition
to Republican corruption. and the Dem
ocrats will win every time. We are
satisfied that Congress will so admin
lister the affairs of the people that the
dominant party there viii be in better
position'to 90 before the country next \
fall than it has ever been before. Let
the Radicals rave; but the Radicals must
be defeated in 1SS4.-Richnsosd State.

DIT. L. Nichols in the Science

territory will sustain from six to ten
men on fruits, grains and vegetables to
one on flesh. He writes: ''Only the
direst necessity, such as sometimes
causes cannibaiism, could have induced
men to kill and eat other animals.
Probably such feeding began with the
lowest forms of life, as with oysters, for
example. However the carnivorous
