why, Despite Constant Financial Worry,
They Live Longer Than Other Men.

Life insurance men will all tell yol
| that ministers of religion as class live
longer than any other. 1t is confirmed
by the statistics of all those who calcu-
late upon human longevity. Why is it?
There is more draft upon the nervous
system than in any other profession,
and their toll is more cxhausting. !
have seen ministers kept on miserable
stipcnd8 by parsimonious congregations
who wondered at the dullness of the
sermons, when the men of God were per-
plexed almost to death by questions of
livelihood, and had not enough nu-
tritious food to keep any fire in their
tomperament. No fuel, no fire. | have
sometimes seen the inside of the life of
manyof the American clergymen-never
accepting their hospitality, because they
can not afford it; but | have seen them
struggle on with salaries of five or six
hundred dollars year-the average
less than that-their struggle well de-
picted by the Western missionary who
says in a letter: Thank you for your
last remittance: until it came we had
not any meat in our house for one year;
and all last winter, although it was
severe winter, our children wore their
summer clothing" And these men of
God find in different parts of the land
struggling against annoyances and ex-
aspirations innumerable, some of them
week after week entertaining agents
who have maps to SELL and submitting
themselves to all styles of annoyance,
and yet without complaint and cheer
fulness of soul. How do you account
for the fact that these life-insurance
men tell us that ministers as a class live
longer than any others? 1t is because
of the joy of their work, the joy OF
the harvest field, the joy of greeting
prodigals home to their Fathers house.

You have read line or two announc-
ing the death of Harvey Kennedy and
telling you that he was very rich old
Wall street broker. But nothing has
been printed as to the Friday night
sight his demise will take away from
the Metropolitan Opera House Mr..
! Kennedy was widower. IIo showed
no inclination to remarry, yet oe was
very fond of young ladies, ard his
method of getting their society without
| paying particular attention to any
single one was ingenious and genial. He
had carriage built to hold eight por.
| sons. 1t was a cross between a fine
private coupe and big public stage.
Two big, prancing horses drew it, and a
livered coachman sat high on the front
seat. The other portion of Mr. Ken
nedy's outfit was box for one night a
week at the opera He hired it from
Cyrus W. Field at S175 night, and was
sub-tenant at that price all through last
winter and during the present season
until his sudden death. For each Fri
day night he invited six young ladies to
60 with him to the opera. His guests
were chosen from among all his ac-
quaintances and not often was the same
girl entertained twice. For each
party he also secured matron as
chaporone, and ho himself
made the eighth person in the
party. TO every lady he sent a hurn

ii Not Careful You May folSnn rTeSH
Meat without Knowing 1t.
Experiments have been made recently
by NJ Bourrier, inspector of meat for
the city of Paris, as to the effects of to-
bacco smoke on meat about to be eaten,
and he has given the startling results
he has obtained in the latest number of
the Revue d'Hygiene.
The results, we say, are startling; for,
whereas up to lato date nobody had
even had any idea that there might be
any thing deleterious or even injurious
in meat impregnated with the fumes of
the weed, NJ. Bourrier has established
the fact that in that condition it is al
ways actively and often virulently poi
sonouS.
For example, he cut some beef into
thin slices and exposed it for an hour or
two to tobacco smoke and then offered
it to dog which had been kept fasting
for twelve hours. The hungry quad
ruped nosed it and left it severely alone.
NJ Bourrier then cut some of the same
meat into small pieces and concealed 1t
between slices of bread. The deluded
dog ate this with avidity; in twenty
minutes he commenced to display dis
tressing symptoms of poisoning, and, IN
a little while longer, he died in great
agony. Similar experiments were per-
formed on many other dogs, and on
rabbits and guinea pigs, injecting the
iuice of the meat being had recourse to
where carnivorous propensities were
wanting. The result of the experiment
tation in every case, without exception
was the same, the toxic effect being
only more or less pronounced
And the feature of NJ. Bourriers dis
,over:es that should be of special inter-
est to the large class of human carnivora
is that the poison in tobaccco-smoked
meat is not got rid of by culinary
processes For he tried it not only raw
but roasted, grilled and boiled, and In
most cases he found that the nicotine
bacillus or poison germ was as lively as
ever after subsection to the fire as 1t
was before. Herein is the consideration
that should give meat'eating mortals

USES OF PALMS.
No End to the Purposes to Which the
Plant Is Applied.

| No End to the purposes TO Nhich the
Plant Is Applied.
In order to be able to appreciate how
much the native tribes OF the countries
where palms most abound are dependent
upon this noble family of plants, and
how they take part in some form or
other in every action OF the natives S
| life, we must enter his hut and inquire
| into the origin and structure Of the
various articles we see around us. Sup
pose we visit an Indian cottage on the
banks of the Rio Negro, in South Amer
lea. The main supports Of the build
ing are the trunks of some forest tree
of durable wood, but the light rafters
are formed of the straight stems OF the
lara palm. The roof is matched with
large, triangular leaves, and bound to
the roof with forest creepers. The
leaves are those Of the carana palm.
The door of the house is a framework
made of the stems of the pashinba
palm. In one corner stands a harpoon
for capturing the cow-fsh; it is made of
the black wood of the pashinba palm.
Beside it is blow-pipe ten or twelve
feet long, for shooting birds or even the
wild hog or tapir; it is made from the
stem of one of two species OF palms.
The Indians large bassoon-like musical
instruments are made of palm stems; the
cloth in which he wraps his valued
feather ornaments is fibrous palm
spathe, and the rude chest in which he
keeps his treasures is woven from palm
leaves. His hammock, boW-strlng and
fishing line are from the tiberS OF leaves
which he obtains from different palm
trees, the hammock from the mivltl,
and the bow-string and fishing line
from the tucum.
The comb that he wears on his head IS
ingeniously constructed from the nara
bark of a palm, and he makes tish-hooks
of the spines, or uses them for tattoolng
purposes. His children are eating the
agreeable red and yellow fruit OF the
pupunda or peach palm; and from the
assai he has prepared tavorlte drink
which he offers you to taste. That care
fully suspended gourd contains OIL
which he has extracted from another
species of palm; and that long, elastic
plated cylinder used for squeezing ury
the mandrocea pulp to make his bread
is made of the bark of one OF the slhgu-
lar climbing palms, which alone can re-
sist for a considerable time the actlon
of the poisonous juice. In fact there
oeems to he no end to the economical
to which the products of palms
are anplied in the countries whore they
