HOW TO LIVE LONG.
Entertaining Information Furnished by .
Noted Medical Man.

Or Savre, Of New York. declares that
every body, under ordinary circum-
stances, ought TO live 10 be n hundred
years old Il would have been an en-
pertaining piece Of information had Dr..
Szvre explained what he meant by or
dinary circumstances" As moFsAls sell
dom live TO be one hundred years old,
and = majority die at = much younger
age, !, follows that the human family
Is living under highly extraordinary
circumstances. The doctor does indi'
cate certain rules ,or which it is hardly
probable he would claim more than that

The hundred-year rule does not appear
very distinct anywhere. A summary IS
Not to undertake 10 accomplish the
work OF a lifetime in the first ten years,
which leads one to remark that children
ten year and under seldom do attempt

smoke like q human being and not Ike
q locomotive, which leads one TO sus'
gest would it not be just as we'll 10 omit
tobacco entirely? Does the doctor ever
prescribe tobacco? Sleep whenever you

ably IS all right.
Another is, do not swlll down Ice

Of the human family ever see ice water
this can not be the hu~ndred-year
rule. Ii is a good one, nevertheless
Don't worry, says the doctor, nor strive

that has lost considerable Of its original
force from age. Dr.. Sayre Is a mar OF
genius in his profession, but he fails to
Justify his assertion that ordinary man
kind should live one hundred years. No
one has vet made it clear, for the reason
that it is not correct, and can not be
made im~pregnable. Rules for old age
have not yet been patented. Wore the
human family to begin again, with all
the light and knowledge gained up to tue
present day, it is not improbable that
the one hundred years might be evolved,

The Bettini Mlcographophone.

Two Of the principal objections which
have been urged against the photograph
and other talking instruments with
which the public have become tolerably.
familiar are the metallic quality Of the
voice reproduced and the necessity of
using hearing tubes arising from the
poor volume Of the reproduction. Lieu
tenant Betthni claims that in his micro
g~raphophone these difficulties have now
been overcome by the employment of
several independent diaphragms instead
of the one diaphragm of the usual in
strument. 1t is said that the reproduce
ton Of the human voice is singularly
clear and free from any harshness or
metallic sound. By the use of q non
metallic trumpet the tones are still fur

Another point worthy Of note is the
matter Of picking these beans, as in
this one thing lies a large share Of the
profit. A common error noticeable on
our market is that most OF the limas
offered were picked too young; not a
pod should be taken from the vino until

the beans are at their best for market
ing in the green state, as before this
point is reached they have not attained
their full growth, and after this stage
they diminish in size as they become
ripe. A few days difference in the time
of picking will make nearly a half diff
ference in the quantity of shelled beans
furnished by a certain number of pods,
and herein lies the shrewd market

to twelve quarts of seed to plant an

DEATH IN THE DESERT.
The Horrible Experience Of a Party of In

II has just come TO light that a party
of Chinese, who attempted to smuggle
themselves into the United States from
Lower California, got lost on the desert

the party dying of thirst and exposure,
They found the frontier SO closely
guarded that they stole a march toward

Here they got lest and wandered aim

unutterable agonies.
One of the Mongolians was a youth OF
some fourteen years. He gave out un-

crazy. In his rawlings he imagined the
blistering sands were limpid water and
eagerly filled his parched mouth with
the burning particles, This only added

Strawberry plants may be set every
month in the year, and a crop secured
the following season. The usual time,
however, at the North is during April
and May, on sandy soils, and at the
South paintings are made in the autumn
and thus a better growth secured the
following year.
The earlier plants are set in the
spring, the better the growth secured
provided every thing is favorable. The
strawberry plant has great vitality, and
