DIR. Miller who made the examination
Of Guiteau's brain, has been devoting
considerable attention to the effect OF
different professions on longevity. His
conclusion is that the average life OF
business men is fifty years in this coun-
try aud sixty in England, statesmen
seventy-two in England to seventy here,
English chief justices sixty-eight, Amer
leans, sixty. The Americans, in his
opinion, are too active and not regular
enough in their habits.
A Boston man writes of doctors who
advertise: "Many such advertisers are
specialists, and on old physician frankly
tells me that as the practice of medicine
is all an experiment, the regulars al
ways use the goods which these special
lists have proven to be eflicacious. They
| spend years studying the eye, ear or
some other part of the body, and con-
s%euuently know more about it than q
doctor with ageneral practice, who con-
suits old books and is not progressive
The City of Mexico possesses many
delights for the northern visitor, but
there is one drawback mentioned by q
correspondent which is rarely referred
to. He says: "For the first two days
I was a little troubled for breath on
this lofty plateau e, 900 feet higher than
the top of Mount Washington, and my
lips were dry and my throat parched;
but my lungs have 10Y become accus-
toned to the rarifed air, and by taking
outdoor exercise only in the morning
and evening and drinking o little claret
and q good deal less water, I succeed in
being very comfortable"
A scientific physician says: "In the
morning there is an acrid state Of the
secretions, and nothing is so we'll calcu-
lated to correct it as peaches, apples,
etc. The small seed fruits, such as figs,
blackberries, raspberries and strawber-
ries, may be classed among the best
fruits and medicines. The sugar in
them is nutritious, the acid purifying
and the seeds laxative. We should look
more to our gardens for Il medicines
and less to our drug stores"
1t is not fair to charge workingmen
with being low in their tastes or with
preferring the saloon, and the beer-hall,
and the tavern, until they have had the
opportunity to educate themselves. The
success of the workingmen's Sunday
concerts in New York ought to be the
starting point for similar efforts in other
cities, and it only needs q triting gen,
erosity on the part of our wealthy men
to repeat the success. The rich have
their Sunday service in churches tc
which the poor cannot afford to go
Let the poor have their service also, and
what better service can they have than
good music on the only day OF rest they
have?-Chicago Tribune.
The origin Of altar of roses is said te
have been this: To please n voluptu.
oils monarch his f~avorite sultana caused
his bath in the palace garden to be fillet
to the brim with rose water. The &c
ton of the sun soon concentrated the
oily particles floating on the surface
and the attendant, supposing the water
to have become corrupt, began to skin
it for the purpose of taking off the oil
The globules burst under the process,
and emitted such a delightful odor tina
the idea of preparing this beautiful per.
fume was at once suggested.
