CHEWING GARLIC TO PRoLoNG LIFE-An
Upper Saucon (Pa.) dispatch in the New
York Sun of January 18th says John
Neitz, solid Dutch farmer of this town
ship, believes in the virtues of garlic as
preseryative OF health and a prolonger of
life. He is 70years old. He looks like man
OF 40. He chews garlic like other folks
chew tobacco. He has it cooked in every
thing he eats, even pies and buildings. He
began TO eat garlic twenty years ago. His
wife demonstrated. She couldn't abide the
smell. He said she would have to get used
to it. She said she would leave him if he
didn't give up garlic. He said he wouldn't
give up. Mrs. Neitz packed up her goods
and left. She never returned, and, al
though she lives near the old homestead,
she and her husband have not spoken to
one another since. "I'll live to see the
next centennial, all the same, says Farmer
Neitz, and he believes it.

RELICS OF CAPTAIN CooK.-The New
Soath Wales Government has purchased
the compass used by Captain Cook in the
ship Endeavor on his first voyage around
the world. and the famous nayigator's grog
flask. These interesting relics are to be
placed on view in the Sydney Museum.
The compass is in a good state of preserEa-
ton. 1t is Enclosed in what is represented
as the original oak case in which it rested
when it was kept in the cabin of the En-
deavor at the time Captain Cook was sur
veying on the coasts of New Zealand and
Australia in 176S-69, and it bears the name
OF the maker and certificate to the effect
that 1t has been examined and found to be
rightly constructed. The grog flask is
very unwieldly and curiously formed arti-
Gle, Its shape is oval, and in size is about
twelve inches long by three or four in
diameter; but the most singular feature of
the flask is that, though made of glass, it is
encased in sheet iron.

FOLLY OF MARRYING ABOVE ONES De-
GREr.-Henry of Battenberg seems to have
pretty hard lines. Ribald gillies jeered at
his legs when he tried to be Draw High
land laddie at the request of his mother
in-law. The same lady's attempt to have
him recognized on the continent as Royal
Highness seems to exert an almost equal
ridicule. Lately it has been said that the
poor chap, having been sent to grass by his
horse, is no longer allowed to follow the
chase. Snubbed by his brothers-in-law,
bulldozed by his mother-in-law, and some
what generally sat upon by the courts of
Europe, Beatrice's husband cannot be said
to have struck matrimonial bonanza The
lamentable experience of the Marquis of
Lorne should have taught Battenberg the
folly of marrying in England above his
degree. But, doubtless, the more be is
snubbed the more the Queen will think of
him-and so the more snubbings her zeal

A LOVE THOUGHT.

If thou vert only, love, tiny flower
And a butterfly with gaudy wings,
Fitting to changing scenes each changing hour
Careless of aught save that which pleasure
brings
Not even could leave the lowliest glade
That held thy loveliness within its shade.
If thou vert but streamlet in the vale
And | a sailor on the stormy sea,
Flying through whirling foam beneath the gale,
Charities in that wild immensity-
Thy murmuring voice would echo in nv soul
Through bowling storm or crashing thunder
roll.
If, darling, thou vert but far-off star,
And a weary wanderer o'erthe plain,
Unwilling of celestial worlds affair."
And knowing naugbt of all the shining train
My glance would single out thy ray serene
Though blazing suns and planets rolled be-
tween.
Yes, dear one, thou art these to me, and more
My flower, whose radiance passeth all decay
My streamlet Of sweet thoughts in endless store
Ny star, TO guide my steps to perfect day
Ny hope in earth's dark dungeon of despair
My refuge mid life's weary MONDAY glare

Love-Makinr in a Newspaper.

There lives in New York, said a recent
importation from the East, newspaper
man who is striking illustration of what
love-making through the papers may ac-
complish. He is now gray-bearded man
of leisure. but years and years ago he was
struggling young editorial writer on a
Western paper. He wrote with a good deal
of earnestness on sentimental topics. HAY
ing conceived an earnest, devoted absorb
ing love for young lady, and knowing
that she was greatly interested in certain
lines of work and thought, he managed to
put his heart in his editorials for her bene-
lit. do not mean that he did not write
for the public, but that he wrote for the
public better because of the warmth in his
heart toward the woman he loved AT the
same time he was carrying forward an ideal
character in a series of sketches. He had
pictured this young lady so plainly that
many recognized her as the heroine of his
romance. But so tenderly, so delicately
was the character handled that any one
might have felt flattered at all that was
said. In fact, the lady herself was in the
habit of saying that she was content to be
regarded as the character so finely pictured,
But in time the heroine was carried toward
the hero of the story in a way to leave open
the question of her regard. and there the
sketches were broken off At this time the
writer was the bluest man ever saw He
told me that he had come to q crisis in his
affairs. He had carried the discussion in
his editorials to a point where he was in
danger of showing to the public his attach
ment to the ideal who had inspired all of
his work on that line. He could not take
the story of his sketches any further with
out limiting at a denouement that might
be very offensive to the lady who had been
kind enough to be pleased with his picture
of the ideal woman. There was only one
way out of the trouble. and that was to tell
the object of his love how highly he re-
garded her. He did this in one of the most
beautiful letters that have any recollection
of, and in six months his ideal woman was
his wife.-[Cor. n. Y Tribune

Zulu MARRIAGEs.-The more refined
sentiment of love is unknown among these
people. The period of wooing is brief A girl
may have taken a liking to some warrior
Unknown to her family, or, if known, I'M
restrained, she will leave her fathers house,
and at dusk will station herself before the
hut of the favored one. She will remain
perfectly silent, neither asking nor answer
ing questions. If her attentions are favored
she will be asked into the hut and stay with
the man a week or more. Then he returns
with her to the fathers home taking few
cattle along These are presented and in
variably accepted, sign that the parents
are willing to enter into negotiations. The
price is fixed and the couple return, and
thenceforth are regarded as man and WIFE
If, on the other hand, young warrior
takes liking to girl, he will induce her
to follow him, and like any common buyer
of cattle, inquire into her good qualities.
Or he will lead to her fathers home some
cattle, If these are accepted the bargain is
further discussed and finally closed. Eight
or ten head of cattle is the average price for
a girl. Up to this time the girl has gone
almost perfectly naked, sign of her vir-
ginity. Now, however, a narrow grass
covering hangs down from her waist

LEMONS FOR BILIoUsNEss. The lem
on treatment of biliousness is quite fash
ionable at present Most people know the
benefit of lemonade before breakfast, but
few know that it is more than doubled by
takinganother at night also. The way to
get the better OF the bilious system without
blue pills and other drugs, is to take the
juice of one, two or three lemons, as appe-
tite Graves, in as much iced water as makes
it pleasant to drink without sugar, before
going to bed. In the morning on rising, at
least half an hour before breakfast, take
the juice of one lemon in goblet of water.
People must not irritate the stomach by
eating lemons clear, but diluted properly,
SO that it does not irritate the throat, and
taken on an empty stomach, the improve
ment is marked.-[ Medical World.

LIQUID FUEL FOR THE NAvY.-Another
experiment is being made at Portsmouth
with the object of determining the practi-
cability OF applying liquid fuel as steam
generator to men-of-war. The fuel con-
sists of creosote, which is at present procu-
rable at penny gallon. 1t is contained
in tank, and is kept at uniform temper
ature and consistency by steam coils inside
the tank, from which it is forced into the
furnace by means of steam injectors. No
engine is used in the present experiment
which is confined to comparing the re-
spective values of a pound of the liquid
fuel as eyaporators of water. So far the
system has proved superior 10 others pre-
viously tried, and it is believed that the
difficulties in the way of the use of liquid
fuel are in a fair way OF being overcome

DEFRAUpING LIFE INSURANCE COM
PANIEs.-A peculiar conspiracy to defraud
life insurance companies was recently ex-
posed in Wellington, New Zealand On
October 10th last workingman in the Ad-
dington railway shops went TO bathe at
Sumner and never returned. His clothes
were found, and it was supposed he had
been drowned. His life was insured for
$4,000, and his widow made desperate eff
forts TO gain proof of his death Two
months afterward a mans arm and hand,
on which was ring known to belong to
Howard, was found on the beach in a small
bay adjoining Sumner bay This created a
great sensation, as it was held the arm
showed signs of having been bitten off by
shark. The detectives set to work and
cleared up the mystery by finding Howard
at work under an assumed name il the
wooden factory at Pentone.

The PLANT FOR BANKs-Experience on
French railways has shown that the double
poppy is the best plant at present known
for consolidating, by the interlacing of its
roots, the loose soil of an embankment.
The usual grasses and clovers develop
slowly, but the double poppy grows enough
IN two weeks to give some protection to the
slope, and within three or four months its
roots, ten or twelve inches long, retain the
earth far more firmly than those of any
grass or grain.

CASTS FROM PoMPEII-A museum has
been erected in Pompeii, in which are pre-
served plaster casts of some of the people
who persisted in the eruption. These
people were covered up by the fine
ashes just where they fell, and in the
positions in which they died. These ashes
hardened, and although the bodies, with
the exception of few bones, entirely
disappeared in the course of ages, the hol-
low places left in the ashes were exactly
the shape of the forms and features of the

THE COFFEE TREE.-Now that beautiful
leayed plants are so justly popular, and in
such constant request for drawingroom
decoration, it is surprising that the coffee
tree of commerce (cofea Ara5ica) is not
made use of. We see it now and then in
nurserymen's greenhouses, but seldom any
where else, and yet there are few evergreen
shrubs more ornamental, and very few
that are better adapted for the adornment
of the sitting-room. An average tempera-
ture of seventy degrees in summer, and
sixty degrees in winter, will be found quite
sufficient; and if the plant is put in warm
corner in the room over kitchen fire on
frosty nights no harm will come it. The
best soil for planting is mixture of peat
and loan. The drainage must be thor,
ongh, the supply of water abundant, and
the roots must have plenty of room. The
coffee tree in a young state is well worth
growing for the sake of its bright green
leaves, fragrant, jasamine-like white bios

into these hollow molds and filling them

they could escape from that terrible storm

and the rings upon their fingers. There
