Unusual storage Of Life.

From the facts at our command, there
Is evidence that individual storage of life
may be far greater than the vast ma
jority of people either expect or hope for.
The mean duration Of life in England
may be taken at Al years. But we have
instances upon instances In which this
storage Of life Is doubled, and some in
which it is trebled. | recently had, in
the consulting room, at the same time,
three gentlemen, whose united ages
reached The total o zee years, or over 81
years each, and eo1h with a fair promise
of from four 10 five years Of life at least.
I also, within Tho present quarter, saw,
on the same day two gentlemen, whose
united ages gave 1s6 years, or an aver
age Of 03 years each. | have seen. and
carefully examined physically, a woman
who had attained the age of tO5 years,
and who lived afterward for three or
four years; and | once conducted an
topsyof a man who had passed his 93d
year.
There was nothing in the social condi-
ton OF the individuals concerned that
could of itself account for such an un-
usual storage Of life as that which they
presented. Two Of those specially re-
ferred to were men Of the highest class
Of mental power; the other has come
down from one OF the oldest Of the noble
families Of Europe; a fourth has fought
his own way from the lowest position to
one vf affluence and power; while the
oldest Of all was. from first 10 last, in
sbject poverty and was in n workhwIse.

The Output of Our Mines.

1t is a very imposing showing that the
bureau Of mining statistics makes in its
report Of the production Of metals in the
United States for 1887. The aggregate
value of the output Of our mines is set
down at $685. 56, 545-fgures whose
significance a only be fully grasped by
comparing them with values in other de-
partments Of production. 1t is difficult
to estimate the amount Of labor that
went TO the making Of this enormous
total. The census Of 1880 ranked as
miners some 234, 2ss persons, not includ.
ing 7,340 oil well operators, and not
counting at all those engaged in the care
VI mining machinery. 1t would prob
ably be safe to put at 800, 900 the number
OF those who are now directly engaged
In all departments Of mining industry,
and such a calculation may at least serve
as a basis for determining the productive
value Of the army of laborers thus EN-.
ployed.-The Epoch.

Tht ORIGIN NJ Ideas.

While Capt. (aserward Sir SamteD
Brown was occupied in studying the
construction of bridges, with the view Of
contriving one Of 4 cheap description to
be thrown across the Tweed, near which
he lived, he was walking in his garden
one dewy autumn morning, when he
saw q ting spiders MT suspended ACROSS
his path. The idea Immediately occurred
to him that a bridge of iron ropes or
chains mi sht be constructed in like man
ner. and the result was the invention Of
his suspension bridge. So james Watt,
when consulted about the mode Of car
rying water by pipes under the Clyde,
along the unequal bed Of the river. turned
his attention one day TO the shell Of a
lobster presented at table, and from that
model he invented an iron tube, which,
when laid down, was found ~eifectually
TO answer the purpose. Sir 1sembert
Brunei took his first lessons in forming
the Thames tunnel from the tiny ship
worm. He saw how the little FEATURE
perforated the wood with its well armed
head, first in one direction and then in
another, till the archway was complete,
and then daubed over the roof and sides
with a kind Of varnish, and by copying
this work exactly on a large scale Brunei
was at length enabled { construct his
shield and accomplish his great engineer
ing work.-Once a Week.

Tho voios Of Niagara

In an article on Niagara Falls, an
evening paper observes, anent the mighty
roar of its waters: One can never forget
The effect Of listening to this mighty
voice for the first time, nor is it an un-
pleasant sound which assails the ear.
The roar is positively musical, they say,
and a few years ago a distinguished
American organist spens a long time n
studying il, and trying to learn the meas
ure and compass Of its tones. lie finally
came TO the conclusion that the deepest
tone made by the falling cataract was
that which would be produced by an
organ pipe about 100 feet in length. and
Of proportionate dimensions rs organ pipes
are made. Now, 100 feet. which is
about the height of the fails this varies
from 100 feet to nearly $50 feeth iSmuch
longer than any organ pipe is made, and
the sound emitted by such n pipe would
not be sensible to US as a musical sound.
Therefore our ears could not apprehcnd
tie music Of the deepest tones; and as
DIR ears are ut fault, WI give this deep
tones music such discordant cpithets as
noise and roar.
This story, according to ono account,
seems incorrectly stated. The organist
in question suggested a sound not nearly
three octaves below thirty-two feet G,
but about + sharp below that note. The
present writer tried 10 define the vast
harmonic hum of the great waterfalls,
and came to the conclusion that the task
was all but hopeless, although a steady
kind Of one seems to be maintained,
and certainly the imagination might
readily seize upon such a note as the au-
thority in question named, but whether
the indefinite sound could be described
Is Of foundation or upper partial tone
character it would be altogether impoSsi-
BILE to say.-London Musical World.

How Senatorial Speeches Are Timed.

President pro tenn. ingalls, uses the old
fashioned time glass TO measure the Eve
minute speeches Of the senators. When
the senator begins the glass is inverted,
and when the sand has all run out he Is
stopped promptly. The other day q
senator who thought his five minutes en-
tirely too short demurred when the presi-
dent pre- tenn. told him his time was up.
"The chair is guided entirely by this
glass" said Ingalls, firmly, holding up
tho twin bulbs with the sand all In tho
lower one. As the president pro tenn. 10
almost as absolute as a baseball umpire,
nothing more was said. As Ingalls, TO
marked afterward 10 another western
senator, at takes sand 10 run the senate"

Russ,a,. uor.e. and aoo,s.

In Moscow, as well as everywhere In
Russia, the horses are very fine and very
fast. They have the build Of race horses,
with their slim legs and far reaching
necks. Even some Of the droskies have
full blooded horses, and their drivers are
able TO obtain a fancy price for their use.
Horses and boots are the two things that
Russians seem 10 pride themselves upon.
They may not have any stockings-and
few OF the lower classes wear them at all
but boots they must have and will
have. Boots with high morocco tops,
and worn with the pa~ntaloons tucked
into the tops, 10 that every inch shows;
and then, like the Mexican with his
spurs, they are dressed. = Henry NJ.

The French woman's virtues

The women Of France are almost uni.
versally misunderstood and misjudged,
because Of the writings Of such novelists
a Dumas fills and Feydeau. The French
woman is not a whit the inferior Of the
English OF American woman The mid
die class oma in the United States is
better educated than the average woman
Of the same class in France. On the
other hand the French wonan is more
active; she shares her husbands labors
and often, indeed, takes more than her
share. Often her labors begin in the
early morning, TO end only at midnight,
on later still. The French woman Of the
lower middle class does not hold II be-
meath her dignity TO perform the hum
blest household duties, while at the same
time she is lively, pleasant and always
willing to talk. She Is as faithful TO her
husband as any American or English
woman In the world, and 1t is the merest
delusion TO suppose that family life in
France Is undermined. = Mrs. Frank
Leslie.

Just What is Needed.

The JOURNAL has advocated the
building of a foot walk from the
ailroad depot across the road, dusty
in summer and muddy in winter,
50 that ladies can walk to the train
and if need be wheel the baby bug
ges all the way from town on to the
PLATFORM. The company is about to
commence this needed work. But
in order to avoid the trestle work it
Will cross the road south of the
bridges. Now the citizens should
continue the present sidewalk in
ront of the fruit drier to the cross
ing spoken of. The city council
ought to insist on It's being done,
and done at once. Soon the debris
Of the old depot will be cleared
away, the side tracks and freight
ears will be kept on the east side so
mat nothing will obstruct the way
% the view, and a good sidewalk to
ne platform and the front entrance

A slIght ChAnre Of Tine.

As change in the timetable of
the o. & G. railroad has been for
some time expected and is now in
operation, and various reports are
afioat about it, the following has
been obtained from Agent Skinner:
The morning California express will
still arrive at S:l3; the train from
Portland to Eugene at Halo a. M,
instead of1l02as before the through
night mail train to California 6:44,
only seven minutes later than the
old schedule. In this connection it
should be remembered that the
town clock in the court house tower
is nearly ten minutes slower than
railroad time. Also that letters can
be mailed on the through trains
6;13 a. m. and 6:44 p. m.-but not on
the other trains as they carry only
closed pouches, and not for every
town on the line.

An Able Man Sick.

The many friends of Rev. j. Q. A.
Henry, of the First Baptist church,
Portland, will greatly regret to learn
that he never recovered from his
accident in being thrown from a
hack in Ireland. He has been
obliged to give up his pastorate in
Portland. He has received several
calls to the pastorate of different
churches. One was to the Third
Baptist church of st. Louis, another
from the First Baptist church of
Los Angeles, and the third call from
the First church of Seattle. Owing
to the delicate state of his health,
Mr.. Henry has been compelled to
decline accepting these flattering
offers; and it is very questionable if
he will be able to continue his work
in the ministry for year or two.
