INCREASE OF FLoNGEvITY.-'Longevity
has increased within half century from
the average of thirty-three years to that OF
forty-four," said a scientist. "The meth,
ods of prolonging life have increased and
the system Of hygiene has been so far I'M
proved upon that, as doctor remarked to
his patient, there is no reason why you
should ever die, if you follow instructions
and take the medicine given Then again
it is asserted by some that people living in
the cities are not so long lived as those re-
siding in the country. That is only true by
reason of the fact that in cities people in a
general way dissipate more than those in
the country and wear life out. But that
portion who lead regular lives live Just as
long as those in the rural districts living the
same way. Then the inference naturally is
that it is not the place, climate considered,
but the people themselves who prolong or
shorten their existence"

SELF-PossEssIoN AND ABILITY.-Self-
possession is something apart from ability.
It is more in one direction and less in an
other. Many persons of great abilities are
painfully lacking in self possession, and 9TH
ers of very small powers are rarely. at loss:
1t comes rather through fair degree of
self-knowledge and practical exercise of the
abilities, great or small, which we do pos
sess. Our own experience shows US this.
Most of US are self-possessed in at least one
direction, and that we shall find to be the
case in which we have had the most con,
stant practice and the best opportunities of
testing ourselves. The mechanic or busl-
ness man or woman or artist or philosopher,
may he undecided, vacillating, constrained
and ill at ease in general society, or in po-
litical circles, or in hundred other stua-
tions, but in their respective employments
or in matters closely connected with them,
they at once assume calm and assured
manner that tells of their regained self-pos-
session-Boston Home Journal.

when she went to see Solomon" asked Miss
R-of her. Sunday school class of little

"Now, look over the verses again. "Could
she have gone by the cars?" asked Miss
R, beginning to lose patience, as the chill

arrive at no conclusion. "Yes'm," said a
little girl at the end of the class. "She went
by steam cars" "Did she, indeed" !" said

VAGARIEs OF THE INsANE.-A lunatic
at the Morris Plains, n. j., Asylum was
mute for five years. Even the physicians
thought he had lost the power of speech

everybody who heard him he exclaimed :
"By the great and jumping Moses, a devil
is better than an inventor" That was
years ago, and he has not spoken since
Another patient, boy in the same insti.
tuition, is a lightning calculator. The most
intricate problems are solved by him in

that his head is filled with little blocks with

problems. He thinks his brain, in fact, is
q multiplication table. His insanity seems
pardonable, for only few sane men can
compete with him as mathematician.
Every day he soaks his head in water to
prevent the blocks from rattling, and occa-
sionally he begs for oil to put into his ears
so that the imaginary squares will slip upon
each other more easily.

REMOVING A GLASS SToPPER.-The
glass stopper to bottle often becomes so
firmly fixed that it resists all ordinary. efforts
to remove it. Apothecaries, who handle
such bottles daily, often acquire skill in
starting the fixed corks. A sudden tap
with a hard stick or knife handle will
often allow the stopper to be readily
taken out. If it has been put in place
while somewhat warm, the neck of the
bottle will contract and hold it very fast.
If the neck of the bottle be surrounded by
cloth wet with hot water, the glass will US
sually expand and allow the stopper TO be
taken out with ease. The most difficult
cases are where the liquid in the bottle is
of such kind that it may form sort OF
cement between the cork and the socket
Place such a bottle stopper downward in a
saucepan containing water. Let the whole
soak for some hours; then place the sauce
pan on the stove and heat the water grad
ually. Try the stopper from time to time;
usually it may be removed long before the
water is hot enough to boil.

How AN INSECT BREATHEs.-If we take
any moderately large insect, say wasp or
a hornet, we can see, even with the naked
eve, that a series of small, spot-like marks
run along either side of the body. These
apparent spots, which are generally eighteen
or twenty in number, are, in fact, the aper, r
lures throug h which air is admlttea INTO the
system, and are generally found in such a
manner that no extraneous matter can by
any possibility find entrance. Sometimes
they are furnished with pair Of horny lips,
whichca be opened and closed at the will
of the insect; in other cases they are densely
fringed with still interlacing bristles, form
ing a filter, which allows air, and air alone
to pass. But the apparatus, of whatever
character it may be, is always so wonder
fully perfect in its action that it has been
found impossible to inject the body of a
dead insect with even so subtle a medium
as spirits of wine, although, the subject was
first immersed in the fluid and then pac-
ed beneath the receiver of an air pump
