JoNATHAs's TEA PARTY.

Brother Jonathan's tea party at the
w CTU hall last evening was a very
creditable affair, and went off in ye olden
time style, without confusion and with
harmony. 1t was one OF the incest
social events Of the season. The New
England supper was palatable one. A
host Of handsome young ladies in ancient
costumes waited on the two hundred
fifty who took tea,with great promptness,
as we'll as suavity. The social part Of
the tea party was enjoyable. f r Sox
and Mrs Mills each guessed 68
doughnuts in the pan, whereas 90 was
the number. On drawing straws Mrs
Mills secured the prize, a platter. L E
Blain, pioneer OF 1848, received the
pan Of doughnuts as present for being
the oldest pioneer present. The potato
contest between Brother Jonathan
Lyons and Paul Revere Fortmiller was
an exciting event. Brother Jonathan,
owing to his remarkable reach, got the
potatoes in basket with his little spoon
much ahead of his opponent, who did
not keep up his record for fast riding.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

One need not love to be loved.
Life is double faced and double edged.
To know ones self is to distrust ones
self
More people are overworked than are
overpaid.
Each life may have potentiality oi
greatness.
To be misunderstood by those we love
is bittorest of all.
Take care of the good and the bad will
take care Of itself.
One who speaks we'll of his neighbors
does well by them.
Energy speaks of what it has done,
not what it will do.
The greatest study of all is that OF the
changes OF the mind.
Vice has nothing in common with vir-
tue except mankind.
A decent provision for the poor Is the
true test OF civilization.
The testimony of good conscience is
the glory OF good man.
They are never alone that are accom-
panied with noble thoughts.
Nature makes US vagabonds, the
world makes US respectable.
There is remedy for every wrong,
and satisfaction for every soul.
Contentment, as it is short load aud
pleasant, has great delight and little
trouble.
Moral beauty comprehends two dis
sinct elements equally beautiful, justice
md charity.
Children, think not of what is past,
aor what is to come, but enjoy the pres
snt time, which few of US do.
He who fears to venture as far as his
heart urges and bis reason permits, Is
coward; he who ventures farther than
he intended to 90 is a slave.

1883 was 9s, 1851, FOG pounds valued

Curious Thing About Ric, Growing.

A Louisianian was interviewed at the
Laclede Hotel in st. Louis. Among
other things he said "Our rice is much
better than that which is imported from
India, and the trouble is that we cannot
raise enough for our own use. | will tell
you curious thing in connection with
the rice growing. During the fall every
English sparrow in New Orleans deserted
the city, and there was much wonder
yhy they should shown such lack of
taste. where do you think they wentf
They went over to the rice fields. There
YOU would see them in thousands every
morning, turning the fields into great
meeting place for their species OF the
feathered tribe from the surrounding
neighborhood. They returned when the
feast of rice was over, and they were
lust like little butter rolls. They have
paid, however, for their time of gayety,
for they were so fat that the hunters got
after them, killed them. and sold them
for sixty cents dozen. OF course the
sparrow Of the South is not like the poor,
chilly little things of the East, or of any
other part of the world. d."-Neo Orleans

Relic Of a Prehistoric Race.

Well diggerS at Laconia, Ark, have
made remarkable find. At depth Of
125 feet the drill penetrated peculiar,
hard substance, which they declared
must be layer Of bricks. There are no
brick houses in the town aud people
laughed at them. The drllerS persisted in
their assertion. Later, in mass OF
mud brought up by the drill, was found
piece OF money. 1t is octasonal in
shape and has hieroglyphics on it which
have not been deciphered, but which
evidently are meant to represent the
value of the piece. 1t is totally different
from anything ever seen in that neigh
oorhood, and the piece was taken to
Helena, Ark, where it was shown to
numismatics, but all agreed in pro-
nouucing 1t as something beyond their
knowledge. 1t is claimed by antiquarian'
that the bricks and coins are relics OF
prehistoric race which lived in Arkan-
sas many years before the Indians, aud
who built the pavementss and roads
which were discovered at Memphis on
the other side of the river above Helena.
The coin will be sent to the Smithsonian
Institute for examination, but the owner
says it will take large amount OF money
to buy it, as he thinks it is worth a for
tune to some one. Chicago Post.

Decadence Of Longevity.

II Sir James Crichton Brown is to be
believed, and he is one of the first physi-
clans of the day, the time is fast ap.
preaching when, unless radical change
in manner of living is made, men will
not live out half their days. DIR. Brown
says that men and women are growing
old before their time. Old age is en-
croaching on the strength of manhood
and the iufirmities associated with it are
steadily taking possession of the system
some years earlier than they were wont
to do in former generations. Deaths
due simply to old age are now reported
between forty five and fifty-five years OF
age, and in large numbers between fifty
five and sixty, and there has been re-
duction in the age at which atrophy and
dsbility-another name for second child
ishness--ki!l those who have passed mid
die life. Presbyopia, or the long sighted
ness of old age, in which near objects
cannot be distinctly seen unless held at
considerable distance from the eye, is
believed to begin earlier than it used to
do.
The eminent oculist Critchett says that
his experience of over quarter OF CEN
tury leads him to think that both men
and women now seek aid from glasses at
an earlier period of life than their ances-
tors. From another authoritative source
we find that people who have lived In
hot climates like India become presby-
opic four or five years earlier than they
would otherwise have done, for life in
hot climate really means excessive wear
and tear to European.
From the saLle source we learn that
the ordinary age for the adoption Of
spectacles for reading used to be fifty; 10
Is now nearer forty-five. DR.. Brown
further tells us that the teeth are drop
ping out earlier, badness more prevalent,
senile insanity is more common and sui
eide is increasing.
These are very unpleasant facts, but
they appear to be well substantiated.
The moral OF it all is that those who are
already old must make the best of the
situation and live as carefully and regu-
larly as they can; those in middle age
can put of the evil day by steady obedi-
ence to the laws of health and by a judi
cious regimen, but the best and truest
remedy for the loss Of old age is to teach
children more earnestly the fact that to
enjoy the last half of life they must take
care of the first half Chicago Nssos.
