The Human Family.

There are about 100000 inhab-
itants on the globe. OF these $685.
OS3 die every year. There are 1904
languages and over 1000 religions
professed by the people. The num-
Der of males and females is about
equal, and their average life is about
thirty-three years. One-fourth of
the inhabitants die before they reach
their fifteenth year. To 1000 persons
only one reaches the age of one hun
dred years; to every one hundred
only six reach the age of siXty-five,
and not more than one in five hum
dred lives to the eightieth year; 49,
033,033 dying every year makes a
grand total of 81, 1924 per day, $3.50
per hour, sixty a minute,or one every
time the clock ticks! Married per-
sons live longer than single ones, and
the tall have better chance for long
life than those short of statue. Wo-
men have more chances of life in
their favor previous to fifty years OF
age than men have, but fewer after
wards. The number of marriages is
in proportion of seventy-five to every
1000 individuals born; the time
when the greatest number Of mar
riages take place is in June and De-
cember-about the time Of the sums
mer and the winter solstices. Dark
haired persons have better chance
in the great struggle for existence
than those of the opposite complex
ion, except in contagious diseases,
where blondes are comparatively ex-
empt. A person born in hot weather
stands the heat a great deal better
than one born in the cold months Of
winter; of course, the rule works
vice versa. Those born in the spring
are usually of a more robust constitu
ton than if born at any other time Of
the year. Births are more frequent
by night than by day, also deaths

Peanut Culture.

Peanuts are not cultivated to any
extent north of Virginia, but they
will grow successfully much further
north. They want to be planted early
and do best in a warm quick soil, al
though they sometimes do we'll even
on clay. The unroasted nuts are put
in in May and grow rapidly when
well started. The ground must be
kept well stirred and in good condi-
ton. The nuts will not form unless
the blossoms are covered as soon as
they open and this must be done
every day. The blossom is about
half as large as a sweet pea blossom,
about the same shape, of a deep yell
low, very fragrant and growing sing
ly upon its own fragile stem. The
nuts soon form after being covered
and are of all sizes on the vines. AS
soon as the first frost comes the vines
should be pulled up with the nuts on
and hung to dry, when the nuts can
be gathered. The vine in itself is
very pretty and will pay for the
labor put on it even if no nuts are Sc
| cured,

From your proud hall with its gilded bar,

Deals out to his guest the pOis'nOus wine.

From manhood's pride to felon's crown.

Those gilded halls Of death and sin
Where manhood's pride is lost-ne'er won,
And woman's virtue sold for rum.
IT'S but step-aye, mark it well,

IT'S but step-will enter there
Where misery dwellS with gaunt despair,
Where weeping mother bows her head,
While starving children cry for bread.
IT'S but step from gilded room
To the drunkard's cold and cherries home.
IT'S but a step, young man, beware!
Your gilded walls hath many snare
To lead from virtues paths of right
And land thee in eternal night.
IT'S but a step-aye but little more,
From gilded hall to the prison'door.
IT'S but step, will enter now
Where avarice breeds her drunken row,
Where drunken men, like demons, rave
And send their victims to the grave.
IT'S but step-the road is free
That leadeth to the gallows tree.
There's another step-it leadeth well,
Beyond the gallows and the prison cell;
The road is broad, and what is more,
1t leadeth straight to the poor'house door.

Why will proud mortal walk therein.

A Spiders Engineering Feat.
n. Y. Sun.

n. Y. Sun.
Popular interest at Syracuse. N. Y,
has centered during the past few
days in the operations Of spider of
the Tegenaria medicinalis species
over a bar in saloon in that city,
Thousands of people have gone into
the place to watch the spider accom-
plish an engineering feat which dis
plays in the insect almost human ca
pacity, and the saloon keeper is be-
coming rich by the patronage of his
visitors during the star engagement
Of the spider. The insect set out on
Tuesday to lift a kernel of popped
corn from a dish on the bar to its
web attached to an electric light wire
on the ceiling. 1t descended on the
kernel by spinning a cable of the
necessary length. 1t was evident,
however, that when the spider hoist.
ed the load clear from the dish, its
uneven weight would cause it to lOp
to one side so suddenly as to proba-
bly, snap the cable. To prevent such
an accident the spider attached two
smaller sized cables to projecting parts
of the kernel and made them fast to
the main cable about five inches
above the burden.
All being ready, the spider return
ed to his headquarters and started its
windlass, and the kernel began tc
rise. That was the situation when
the people in the saloon first discov
cred what was going on. After get
ting the corn up about a foot, work
was suspended for time. The spi'
der had begun to mistrust some O
the machinery. 1t made an investi
cation, repaired a slight break or two
above in the guys, and then sic
down to the corn. Everything there
was all solid but the engineer though
prudence a mark of wisdom, anC
doubled up the cable where the mali
weight was seen to hang. This wa

corn was raised at least four inches
There was another delay, which wa
only short.
AT midnight on Tuesday the cor
had risen two feet. AT daylight o.
Wednesday it was up thirty-si
inches. There it seemed to stick
All day Wednesday only slight pre-
gress was made, though the spide
never relaxed its efforts. Sometime
the burden even receded. Then ther
was a series of jerks, but the machir
cry overhead seemed to slip a coz
and no Roadway was made. Lat
on Wednesday night operations wei
temporarily suspended, and the sp

The laws of health are taught in

much practical benefit and are never

in many cases might easily be done.

the school, so that all could hear the
dry, loud cough and know its signifi-

the tongue and later, as the cold de-
veloped, see the profuse watery eX-
pectoratiOn and thin watery discharge
from the nose, not one of them would
ever forget what the first symptoms
ola cold were. The scholar would
then be given Chamberlain's Cough

that even a severe cold could be cur

greatly mitigated, when properly
