Men who Have Endured the Rush of
tho Metropolis for Many Years.
Especial Corrsspondsnce.l
NEW YORK, June 5.--There appears 10
be popular impression that the hurly
burly of the metropolis and the strain to
which the rush and dash Of its business
methods subject mems minds and bodies
are not conducive to longevity. Life in
surance statistics show that this is fal-
lacy, and. besides, there are many strik-
ing instances of the erroneousness Of the
idea. In we'll known down town re-
sort few mornings ago, when rain was
pouring down most energetically, ex-
Mayor Wickham, frisky lad Of about
20, was sccosted by gentleman Of erect
bearing and whose eyes and skin were
clear. He had Just finished hot apple
toddy. "Wickham, my dear boy" no
said in hearty tones, ''you shouldn't be
ont day liko this. The weather Ia too
rough for boy like you" The ex-mayor
laughed and then inquired: "Mr. Tap
pan, how old are your
Ninety -fve," was the proud reply.
"Will you have another toddyY'
Don't care II do" The elder gen.
tleman, who confessed to being almost .
centenarian, is the father Of Frederick
w. Tappan, president Of the Gallatin
National bank. Every morning except
Sundays he travels down town and dill
gently attends to his own business affairs
without any assistance. He is still con-
sidered in the commercial world man
OF great shrcwdness and keenness OF per-
ception.

ous, but white haired man strides into
the Astor house rotunda and when he
reaches the mahogany, without word
being spoken, u glass containing lump
OF sugar and u spoon Is placed before
him and he Is further provided with a
small pitcher of ice water and bottle
Of whisky.
With the aid Of the water and the
spoon the sugar Is dissolved thoroughly
and then the whiskey il added with an
air Of great solemnity. When the toddy
has been disposed Of, the tall man strides
out TO Broadway and jumps into dingy
might hawk" cab, which Is always In
Whiting, and il driven to his residence on
Twenty-third street by weather beaten
public Jehu, whose long blue coat IL
faded, and whose high silk hat has long
ago lost its gloss. The occupant Of the
rattle trap vehicle is DIR. Norvin Green
president of the Western Union Tele
graph company. At 80 years of age he
finds himself as frislty a. when he was q
country boy.
David Dudley Field is only 62 years Of
age. Nearly every morning Of his life
he takes horseback ride in Central
park, and afterwards walks all the way
from his residence in Gramercy park t.
his Office on lower Broadway. In hi

active practice Of the law.

Some one has recently figured out the
exact distance that q person may be re-
moved from rejecting surface and yet
hear the echo Of his own voice. Five
syllables second is said to be the limit
both of distinct pronunciation and dis
tinct hearing. This gives one-fifth Of
second for each syllable. When the at
mospheric temperature is 81 degs. sound
travels ,120 feet a second. In one-fifth
that time it will cover q distance Of 224
feet, Hence, IL rejecting surface Is
1l2 feet distant the initial sound Of an
uttered syllable will be returned to the
ear just as the next syllable starts on its
journey. In this case the first fifth Of
the second is consumed in the utterance
Of syllable and the next fifth of the
second in hearing it's echo. Two sylla-
bles would be echoed from rejecting
surface ga feet distant, three syllables
from 1886 feet, and so on within the limit
Of audibleness.

Very Slow Consumption.

DR.. Mortimer Slocum, who died al
San Antonio, Tex, recently, had a
rather novel experience once. He was
supposed to be hopelessly i'll of consump-
ton, and life insurance company with
which he had policy of SEQ, 900 paid
him $1,000 for release. He removed
from his then home at Chicago to Texas,
grew well and wealthy and lived for
twenty-five years.

it has not been bodily size nor physical

ever been more absurd than this minuet
and it is scarcely possible to conceive Of
anything more solemn than George
Washington and Mrs Knox leading
down the twenty couple of Continental
officers, military and civil-knee breeches
and powdered wigs-and their ladies,
whose height of hair resembled moro
than any thing else the top Of one
horse shay.
How different from the scene in tho
cadet ball room! A forest of white legs
are triangulating in circles, sliding.
gliding, whirling, sideways, backwards,
in reverse. Each cadet holds by the
waist a youthful beauty in silk, in tulle,
in satin lace, mingled in exquisite
combination of colors. There are but
two shades in the uniform of the cadets,
the gray and the white But in tho cos
tunes Of their partners are all the colors
and shades of the rainbow. These
youths, these maidens know no stately
minuet. They spin. they twirl, now
fitting before n change of direction;
then darting from one end of the room
to another, threading their way among
other shooting couples, as if the youth
full guide had spent his boyhood as pilot
on the Lachine rapids. Truly this, COM
pared with Washington and Mrs. Knox
leading the minuet, is pleasing indi-
cation of the progress of the age
and the increased fitness of things.
So, also, are the parade ground firta-
tions, wherein cadets sometimes obey
orders and still promenade with the
girls of their choice. During GER
tain hours the young warriors are not
allowed to approach within prescribed
distance of visitors. A stick Of tho
proper length, held by both parties to
the evasion, allows of unlimited chatter
without the technical violation Of any
order

How Bison Were Extermina.ed

As the Indians hunted them the rae,
of bison would probably have lasted
forever, writes DR.. Carver, but about
1866 the white men turned their atten-
ton to the shaggy monsters of the
plains. LTgc E,s;ern firms organized
hunting parties and paid the shooter
50. so for each bison where he Law dead
on the plains. l then went to southern
Nebraska and became a professional
hunter. The bison consisted of two
large divisions, the one living in the
north and the other in the south. Their
only common feeding ground was along
the Republican river and lis branches
In Nebraska. The Indians were well
aware of the fact, and hostile tribes
have hal many fight for that terri.

government put an end to this By send.
ing the Pawnees south and the Sioux to
their northern reservation.
Like herd of cattle the bison are
always on the go, and are apt to walk
out OF rife range in a short time. In
moving. however, they always have
leader, AMI the trick was to kill any
one that started to lead the others off.
b. thus killing the leaders we could
often shoot for an hour from behind
one ciump of grass, and when they
had moved from out of range the skin
ners would come up, cut the hide in
the ordinary way for SHINING, tie the
IN mails head to stake, hitch a team
Of horses to the hide and jor it off.
No one will ever know what immense
numbers of bison were killed by these
AIDE hunters, but to my certain knowl-
,dge ), 900, 900 hides were shipped |
rom the banks of the Frenchman river
n one winter. At the close of that
winter a man could go along the banks
