Henry jenkins, of Bolton, Lancashire
England, lived to be 100 years old. Mrs
Anna Saville, writer of Jenkins time
has the following in her account Of him.
Il questioned him about his age. He said
he was 162 or 1853. / asked him what pub
lie event he could longest remember. He
said the battle of Flodden Field, when
Henry VIII was king. He said he was
then between ten and twelve years of age,
and was sent to Northallerton with a
horseload of arrows, but that bigger boy
was sent to the army with him" All this
agrees with the history of that time, bows
and arrows being then in use
The battle of Flodden Field was fought
Sept. 8, 1913, and Henry Jenkins was then
boy between ten and twelve years of age.
lie died on Dec, 8, 1869, so that he must
have lived at least 100 years, sixteen years
longer than Old Parr. who was born in
Shropshire in 1883 and died in 1885. If this
account OF the age Of Jenkins is reliable he
lived longer than any other man in the
known world, except Methuselah, con-
corning whose age there has been much
dispute.-St. Louis Republic.

An Old Mexican Custom.

The MeXicans were at a high point OF
civilization at the time of the conquest, and
their god of misunderstanding to Apollo
among the Greeks-was Tezcatlipoca, &c
whom the flute was sacred. Tezcatlipoca
was the most beautiful of all deities of the
sky, and, i'll profound compassion for the
miseries of man, had brought music from
heaven on a bridge made of whales and
turtles. These animals, transfixed with
rapture at his beautiful song, had Joined
body to body in an illimitable line, all the
whales and turtles in the ocean cooper.
ating to form the endless pile, till the
bridge reached from the waves of the sea
to the skyey realms where Tezcatlipoca
sat.
Then the divinity arose, and clad in pure
white, with twenty golden bells jingliing
round his ankles, and at his lips a silver
flute, which he played in a most harmoni.
Gus melody, he descended to the realms of
mortal man. He taught flute playing and
the fabrication of that instrument to the
Mexican priests, who, in his honor and out
of gratitude to him for the boon, instituted
the following singular ceremony: Once a
year they chose the handsomest youth in
Mexico and dressed him in the same man.
ner in which Tezcatlipoca had appeared to
them with the golden bells round his an.
kles and the constantly warbling flute in
his hand
He was worshiped as a god for the
whole year. At the end of that time he
was sacrificed on an altar of jasper to the
god of music, who required his life. The
sacrifice took place on the top of one of the
pyramid temples, and on his way up the
interminable staircase the unfortunate
youth, followed by a priest carrying a
sheaf of flutes, broke one flute against each
step, to show that his glory and his de-
lights as the incarnation of Tezcatlipoca
Were over at last.-Chamhers, Journal
