One of the remarkable things about
the closing days of the year is the num-
Der of eam.boats that have been
burned. The list was heightened Sun
day by the destruction of the Sound
steamer Bristol, while lying in her
dock at Newport. The fire occurred
at fortunate time, as most of passen-
gers had left the boat. Had It been
broken out a few hours earlier the
loss Of life must have been terrible. as
the flames spread with marvellous
rapidity. 0''0U7

The good name of ALLcOCK's' Porous

that the people living in the north
ern latitude that we do must be
snowbound all winter.
While the majority of the people
in the extreme east hold to these
views, the true facts in the case are
becoming constantly more widely
known in that benighted region,
and a knowledge of the Japan cur
rent is being rapidly disseminated
in that section. And as no part of
the Pacific coast feels the influence
of these causes of q mild tempera-
tare as much as the shores of Oregon
do, the rapidly increasing popula-
ton of this favored section are not
slow in telling those whom they
left in a colder cline of the warm
and balmy atmosphere enjoyed here
while the residents Of regions
thousand miles or more to the south
are only kept from freezing to death
Ivy the utmost care IN keepin in

WHAT PRODUCES DEATH.

Some one says that few men die
of age Almosl all persons die of
disappointment, personal, mental, or
bodily toll, or accident. The pas
sions kill men sometimes even sud-
denly. The common expression,
"choked with passion" has little
exaygeration in it, for even though
not suddenly fatal, strong passions
shorten life. Strong-bodied men
often die young-weak men live
longer than the strong, for the
strong use their strength, and the
weak have none to use. The latter
take care of themselves, the former
do not. AS is with the body, SO it
is with the mind and temper. The
strong are apt to break, or, like the
candle, run; the weak burn out.
The inferior animals, which live
temperate, have generally their pre-.
scribed term of years. The horse
lives 25 years, the OK 10 or 20, the lion
about 20, the hog 10 or II, the rabbit
8, the guinea-pig 6 or 7. The num-
bers all bear proportion to the time
the animal takes to grow its full
size. But man, of all animals, is
one that seldom comes up to the
averag'. He ought to live a hun
dred years, according to the physi-
illogical law, for five times twenty
are one hundred: but instead of
that, he scarcely reaches an average
of four times the growing period.
The reason is obvious-man is not
only the most Irregular and most
intempefate, but the most laborious
and Woodworking of all animals.
He Is always the most irritable of all
animals, and there is reason to be-
lieve, though we cannot tell what
an animal secretly feels, that, more
than any other animal, man cherish
es wrath to keep it warm, and con-
sumes himself with the fire of his
own reflections.

A SINGULAR will case Is now on
trial In Philadelphia. 1t is the at
tempt of j. Heron Foster to break
his mothers will on the ground of
her unnatural hatred for him, which
induced her to leave oil her estate to
her two daughters. The story that
Is brought out in the complaint Is
rs strange as anything in fiction.
Fosters father was the founder of
the Pittsburg Dispatch. On his
wedding day he started new paper,
and he was obliged to leave his
bride of an hour to look after
his venture. She never forgave
him what she regarded as a
personal slight, and toward
her son, the first child, she
showed the same resentment, that
gradually developed into cold hate
as he grew up the Image of his
father. Many instances OF this un-
reasoning hatred are given. The
father died, leaving the bulk of his
fortune to the widow, but when she
died her will was found to perpetu-
ate the hatred of her son. The
story would form good plot for IA
novel, but the critics would be apt
to declare II unnatural. Ii only
enforces the old adage that truth is
stranger than fictlon-especially
the truth that comes out in will
aud divorce suits.
