OLD RAoHEL's UMBRELLA.

How the Frugal Lady Made Her Husband
Jim Toe the Mark.
Have you ever seen one of the old-fash-
toned umbrellas of cotton that our grand
sires-or some Of them-used to carry with
immense pridel
An old character, says the Pittsburgh Dis
patch, who was well known in the Sewickley
valley for l don't know how many years
she isn't dead or forgotten yet-had an UNI
brella of this sort by which she set great
store. 1t was of blue cotton with broad,
white, circular stripes, and to what era it
belonged old Rachel did not know
They say she only lent it once. One day, a
score of years ago, her husband, who was a
track-walker on the Fort Wayne railway
screwed up his courage enough to ask her
to lend him the sacred umbrella. She
brought out the blue and white treasure
from the corner of the little station-house
where they lived, and with many iniunc-
tions to be sure and bring it back, gave it TO
him.
He had to walk three miles into the coun-
try that day, and when he had reached his
destination it had stopped raining The sky
was clear when he started for home, and ]
suppose thatwas why he forgot the blue and
white umbrella
He never thought of it again till he was at
the threshold of his home, and there his
wife confronted him with her two hundred
pounds of muscle and bone.

"Where is what, Rachell" was her hus-
bands meek reply.

STATISTICAL FACTS.

Reliable Information on q Variety of In
teresting Topics.
A German statistician says: There are at
present 1904 languages spoken by the in
habitants of our globe, whose religious con-
victions are divided between 1000 differ ent
confessions of faith, The number of males
is nearly equal to that of the females. The
average duration of life is 80 years. One
fourth of the population of the earth dies
before attaining the seventeenth year. OF
1000 persons only one reaches the age of
100 years, and not more than six that of IS
years. The entire population of the globe
is upward of 200 100000, of whom s., 214,0 900
die every year; sc, $50 every day; 1920 every
hour; 67 every minute and and fraction
every second; on the other hand the births
amount to SO, 792, 600 every year; 100,S00
every day; 200 every hour; 40 every min
ute; 1 and fraction every second. Mar
ried people live longer than the unmarried,
the temperate and industrious longer than
the gluttons and idle, and civilized nations
longer than uncivilized. Tall persons en-
joy a greater longevity than small ones.
Women have more favorable chance of life
before reaching their 50th year than men, but
less favorable one after that period. The
proportion of married persons to single ones
is as rs to 1000. Persons born in spring
have a more robust constitution than those
born at other seasons. Births and deaths
occur more frequently at night than in the
daytime. 1t may finally be added that only
one-fourth of the male inhabitants of the
globe grow up to carry arms or perform
military service

Which we had spent together on earth,
Yet sought to value it at its worth;

There lay the dear one, lffeless and cold,
Gently confined in the narrow case;

DON'T EAT HASTILY.
Tho Habit Ruined the Great NapoI'
and Nav Also Ruin You.

The Habit Ruined the Great Napoleon
and May Also Ruin You.
1t is mistake to eat quickly. MasCication
performed in haste must be Imperfect, even
with the best of teeth, and due admixVure of
the Salivary secretion with the food can not
take place.
When a crude mass of inadequately
crushed muscular fiber, or undivided solid
material of any description is thrown into the
stomach, it acts as a mechanical irritant,
and sets up condition in the mucous mem
brane lining of that organ which greatly i'm
pedes, if it does not altogether prevent, the
process of digestion.
When the practice of eating quickly and
filing the stomach with unprepared food is
habitual, the digestive organ is rendered in
capable Of performing it's proper functions,
says Medical Classics. Either a much
larger quantity of food than would be nee.
essary under natural conditions is re-
quired, or the system suffers from lack of
nourishment.
CThose animals which were intended to
feed hurriedly were either gifted with the
power of Illumination or provided with giz-
yards. Man IS not SO furnished, and it IS
fair to assume that he was intended to eat
slowly. We must apologize for reminding
our readers of facts so familiar. The matter
may seem small one, but it is not so.
Just as man may go on for years with
defective teeth, imperfectly mastlcating his
food, and wondering why he suffers from
indigestion, so man may habltually live
under an affliction of hurried dinners with
out knowing why he IS not well, or how
easily the cause Of his illness might be
remedied.
The habit of eating fast and carelessly is
supposed to have paralyzed Napoleon on
two of the most critical occasions of his life
the battles of Borodino and Leipsic. On
each of these occasions he is known to have
been suffering from indigestion.
On the third day of Dresden, too (as the
German novelist, Hoffman, who was in the
town, asserts), the Emperor's energies
were impaired by the effects of a shoulder
Of mutton stuffed with onions. There can
be no doubt that Napoleon's irregularities
as to meals injured his health and short
ened his life.

Tine Fi.h Reciprocated.

Az urious cause of death has recently been
recorded in India. A native who was fish
ing in a stream caught fiat, eel-like fish
from fifteen to sixteen inches in length.
Being DESTROYS of killing it he promptly,
but with great lack OF judgment aud ques-
tionable taste, put it into his mouth in order
TO bite or its head. The fish, however,
scarcely appreciating the somewhat clumsy
attempt at decapitation, vigorously essayed
~ make other arrangements, in which it
was partially successful. Gifted with a
slimfness which made it very difficult TO
hold, 1t slipped through the mans fingers
,,,to his mouth and conveyed itself partly
down his gullet. The situation was now
mad for the fish, but still worse for the man,
for owing to the sharp fms on the back OF
the fish It was not possible TO withdraw 1t
The man died in great agony within an
hour. 49,

sIUUuuO. Our contemporary contrasts this
sum with the sums realized by certain
works of the '.old masters but the com
parison, of course. does not hold good. It
is aquestion, not of intrinsic value, but of
popularity. Every thing that is popular
pays; that is irrefragable. And the fact is
the outcome, mainly, of the great growth
of the population. When any thing sue
ceeds nowadays, its success is usually very
great, simply because there are so MANY
different persons to whom to appeal.
Listen to the Mocking Bird must have
commended itself to the great majority, and
hence its monetary triumph. 1t would be
pleasant if the million would go into rapt-
ures over songs of a high caliber, but that
is hardly to be expected.
