Effects Of Excitement.
From the st. Louis Spectator.

From the st. Louis Spectator.
Who ever has studied mans earun-
~ tenure and the causes which tend
to lengthen or curtail it will have
scarcely failed to notice how contra
dictory is the evidence of those we
naturally look to to explain them,
and that their evidence, even when
they agree. does not always accord
with what would seem to be facts, as
they appear around US. One
authority says general physical de-
velopment is necessary to prolong
life, while another insists this is not
necessary, if the days employment
does not call for physical exertion. DIR
d. B. Richardson, an eminent English
authority declares among many obvi-
ous though scarcely novel PROPOSE
tons, that everything that quickens
the action of the heart, any kind of
excitement, taxes and reduces the
storage fife. If this were said of
those naturally feeble, or inheriting
disease, or even of those leading sed-
entary lives, and living from day to
day without the invigorating bene-
fits of fresh air and exercise, it would
seem reasonable, for one does not
have to be skillful psychologist to
know that excitement affects the
nerves as we'll as the heart. But is
the statement strictly true when re-
ferring, as here, to the entire human
family? Surely, soldiers engaged in
actual warfare, and soldiers in peace
as well, live among excitements, be-
sides being VIGOROUSLY adj
dicted to indulgencies as
drinking and smoking, yet
they are long-lived. Statistics show
it, and observations corroborate
them. The pension list of the British
army, giving the ages of the bene-
ficiaries, men who have served in all
climates from twenty to forty years,
and excluding those pensioned sooner
because of wounds received while in
the performance of duty" shows
that soldiers do not die as other
men do; SO it is with the naval pen
sioners of the Greenwich hospital,
now scattered over Great Britain be-
cause of it's adjustment. In the
merchant service to day it is no I'M
common thing to find man 7Oyears
old in charge of a vessel-a post re-
quiring activity of body as well as of
mind. And in New York we have the
proof near us, for at Sailors Snug
Hardor, on Staten Island, are 600
aged but for the most part hearty
sailors. Most of these are between
20 and 80; active old fellows they
are, with clear minds and good appe-
titles. They will tell you they are not
by any means the sole survivors of
our one time merchant fleet; that
many, if not most of their mates are
yet living, but distributed over the
country, living with their grandchil-
iren, perhaps worrying for a living,
Or engaged in other employments
along a water front. From this it
would appear that sound human
body can endure hunger and expos
sure and even frequent excitement; if
only there is plenty of fresh air and
exercise of vigorous kind thrown
in,

Better Than Salt on Their Tails.

From the Santa Cruz Surf
A man living near Davis & Cowell's
lime kilns has been catching quail in
peculiar way. For three weeks he
has been spreading grain in the road
near his place, where quail abound.
On the day the law was ont he put
wheat in the place as usual, but had
previously soaked the wheat in whis-
ky. Watching the place, he saw the
quail come out, eat, get drunk, and
in short time lie down stupefied.
A few that were not fully drunk were
easily caught by his dog. He has
practiced the same method since sue
cessfally.

Married Only Ten Minutes.

A bride and groom arrived at the de-
pot in Union City, Conn, a few days
ago. intending to start on wedding
tour. The train arrived as usual from
Waterbury and took the side track to
allow the up train. to pass The bride
boarded the train while the groom stood
with gripsack in hand watching the up
train. The down train started for
Bridgeport and had proceeded several
rods when the bride rushed to the brake
man ut the rear and exclaimed: "Oh,
stop the train; that's my husband and
we've only been married about ten min
utes." The brakeman looked mp the
track and saw q man running toward it,
took pity on the bride, pulled the bell

Doves About tho Wharves.

A stroll among the covered whNrves
on the East and North rivers discloses
the particularly interesting fact that
gentleness is an uppermost feature.
Amid all the hustle and bowling and
swearing can be heard the soft cooling of
doves. Some of the rafters of the
wharves are nothing but veritable dove
cotes. Moreover, the doves do not seem
to mind the roar and activity. Many of
them are very tame, and will eat from
the hand. They are frequently seen
hopping in and out under iron hoofs and
whirling wheels. Nobody seems to
know to whom they belong.-New York

Shot an Unknown Robber.

READFIELD, June 10.-About II o'clock
last night Mr.. G. c. Bean, an old soldier who
lives alone, about three-ouarters Of a mile
from Read6eld village, was awakened by
loud knocking on the door. He arose and
quietly going nearly to the door, asked in
loud voice "Who is there, and what is want
ed?" No answer was returned, but the
knocking was repeated.
Again the gentleman asked "Who is there
and what is wanted?" Still no answer. In
moment the knocking was repeated, and
again the fourth time. Mr.. Bean then fred
his revolver through the middle of the door.
and following the discharge of the revolver
some one exclaimed with an oath: II am
hurt" and then was heard to run to the
road, enter a carriage and drive rapidly
away. The night was dark and rainy, but in
the morning the traces of the wagon were
plainly seen. Mr.. Bean had lust received
his pension money, and as he lives alone
some distance from any one, he has no doubt
that would-be robbers were in hopes to OBJ
tain it from him.
