The mayors veto of the curb resolu-

thinking. The question with them now
is: what shall we do?" 1t is possible
that they may undertake to pass Flan-

made to revive and pass it. Thar, how

LONGEVITY and Country Life.

How great the difference is between
an Il ban and rural population in the
average age of all who die, may be
conveniently illustrated from the reg
i,tration reports of Massachusetts,
which have now been published for 4 Z
wears. In the 30 years f. ON 1850 to
1890, the average of all the persons
who died in Suffolk county, an urban
county on the seaboard, was % l-2
years; the average age of all the per-
sons who died in Barnstable, Il rural
county on same seaboarl, was 81; in
Franklin, al inland rural county,
SO 1-2; willie the average age of all
the persons who died in the island
county of Nantucket during the 80
years was very nearly double the av-
erage age at death in Suffolk, namely,
46.l The same reports show that
the annual death rate is uniformly
higher III the densely populated coun-
ties than in the sparsely populated
ones. Other causes besides density of
population contribute to produce these
striking results; but the main fact re-
mains that family which lives in the
country has better chance of contin.
uancc than one that lives in the city.
Moreover, if the family history of
the actual leaders, for the time being,
in business and the professions in any
American city be studied, it will nsu-
ally be found that very large proper
tion of them were country bred. The
country breeding gives a vigor and an
endurance which in the long run ont
weighs all city aavansggcs and eN2hles
the well endowed country boys to out
strip all their competitors.-T Forum.

One of the early gifts from England
TO Harvard College was a printing
press for the purpose of supplying the
Indians with Bibles and other books
that would aid in their conversion.
Various religious trcatisc' were pub
ishcd for the use of the colonists, but
almost Immediately the general court
commenced 10 interfere with the liber-
ty of the press. No facilities were
allowed for printing outside of Cam
bridge, and even here the restrictions
were so great that the court forbade
the publication of Thomas -Kempis'
'Imita.ion of Christ" although the
printing was well under way.
The efforts to convert and educate
the Indians were honest and praise
worthy, but as is well known, the In
dian did not take kindly to civilization,
nor did civilization take kindly to him.
.,aAs.hc few who were willing 10 sub
init to English masters and TO learn
Latin and Greek, some sickened and
died after they had made good profile

left when they were almost ready for
college, while the one solitary Indian

A Cartridge Fire Alarm.

A new fire alarm now in use in
Sweden consists of a small copper
cartridge closed by an India rubber
button and filled with fire compost
lion. The fuse contains mixture of
potassium chlorate and sugar and on
it is placed paraffiae capsule contain
ing few drops of sulphuric acid.
When the temperature of the room
rises above the melting point of paraf-
fine the sulphuric acid is libe ated and
ignitas the chlorate mixture, which in
its turn sets fire to the Bengal light.
A fusible metal disk placed in contact
with the mixture will also be melted
and thus make electrical connection
with a call bell so as to sound the
alarm at distance. = Chicago News.

Pniatn Substitutes.

The common potato has had many
would-be rivals and substitutes during
the past three centurie', but it still re-
mains the most valuable tuber known
for cultivation i'll cool climates.
About 40 years ago the Chinese yam
was extensively advertised as the most
valuable of all tubers, and the coming
substitute for the potato, but upon
trial it failed to meet expectations.
Quite recently Japanese plant with
small, luberous roots has attracted
some attention both in Europe and
ths country because its introducers
claim that it may, or will, take the
place of the common potato; but, un-
fortuna ely, the tubers are so unlike
the potato that they can scarcely claim
to be placed in the same class with it.
The potato has not yet even fair
companion, much less competitor.

that in the year 1881 poor old man,
residing in Tarentum, near Naples,
Italy, was the subject of a marvellous
change when at the age of nearly ninety
years. lis skin peeled off and new
and soft skin supplied its place; his
muscles again became strong and
plump; tie wrinkles disappeared from
his face, and the white hairs from his
head; black, curly hair grew on his
head again, and his complexion be-

years later he again became decrepit
