There seems to be little doubt in the
mind of the editor of Haper's Weekly
that Old Gabriel, the mission Indian who
died not long ago at Salinas, California,
was one hundred and fifty years old
His story, as handed down by the
Franciscan missionaries, shows that when
Father Junipero arrived in Monterey in
1863, Gabriel was already a grandfather
His long life was greatly due to his
habits of personal cleanliness, which
were strict, and the regularity with
which he ate his simple meals. The
other Indians, however, attributed his
longevity to the TACT that he was the first
of their number to be baptized by the
priest. Up to five or six years age
GabrieI's faculties were well preserved
but later on they failed rapidly.

Bread From Wood.

Science has already enabled man to
extract fiery beverages and many other
thing of more or less value from wood,
and it is now proposed to so a step
further and produce bread from wood.
In an address recently delivered in Heidel-
berg, GERMANY, by no less eminent an
author than Victor Meyer, it is announced
'that we may reasonably hope that chem
istry will teach US to make the fibre of
wood the source of human food" What
an enormous stock of food, then, would
be found, if this becomes possible, in the
wood of our forests, or even in grass and

What Colors Will Photograph.

The time was when the photographer
required certain colors in dress to pro
duce good effects. Now, with experience
and the improvements in chemicals,
these restrictions are removed. He can
photograph white as well as black. The
capable artist prides himselfon his ability
to show the most delicate and elaborate
lace work on the bridal dress.
With these restrictions no longer nee
essary, would say-wear your most be-
coming dress.
Blue and pink will photograph white.
Purple Will appear many shades lighter
than it is in reality.
Red and deep yellow appear black,
or nearly so.
Strong contrasts in dress or trimming
will give gaudy effect.
Subdued and quiet colors make the
neat picture. Forexample see the pictures
of nuns, or the lovely pictures of Quaker
ladies.-Ladies' Home Journal.
