Elderly Men and Exercise.

While TIE elderly man has less capac-
ity for some forms of exercise than the
younger adult, he has no less need than
the other of the general and local exer-
else. 1t is in the earliest period Of
mature age that the most characteristic
manifestations of defects of nutrition
obesity, gout and diabetes, in which lack
of exercise plays an important part-are
produced; and the treatment of them de-
mands imperiously a stirring up of the
vital combustion. Placed between a
conviction that exercise is necessary, and
a fear of the dangers of exercise, the
mature man ought therefore to proceed
with the strictest method in the applica-
ton Of this powerful modifer of nutri-
tion.
1t is impossible, however, to trace
methodically a single rule for all men of
the same age, for all do not offer the
same degree of preservation. We might,
perhaps, find general formula for the
age at which the muscles and bones have
retained all their power of resistance,
and at which the heart and vessels begin
to lose some of their capacity to perform
their functions. The mature man can
safely brave all exercises that bring on
muscular fatigue, but he must approach
with great care those which provoke
shortness of breath. Popular Science

She was cast for Julia, her representa-
ton of which Knowles subsequently ac-
knowledged far outstripped his most
sanguine hopes. The author enacted
the part of Master Walter. The play
was produced on April 5, 1882. The
crowded house which assembled to wit
ness its performance was unanimous in
its appreciation, and during the latter
srenes between Julia. Clifford and Mas
ter Walter, ''the audience was over
whelmed with tears"
When the curtain fell, The Morning
Chronicle states, ''the applause was tu-
multuous. and general call was made
for Knowles. He was confused by the
novelty of his situation, and exclaimed
that, conscious of his own unworthi-
ness, he presumed the audience was ap-
plauding their own kindness The
comedy ran to the close of the season,
being only interrupted by few benefit
nights.-Chambers' Journal.

Humorous Toasts.

A publisher once gave the following:
"Woman, the fairest work in all crea-
ton. The edition is large and no man
should be without a copy"
This is fairly seconded by q youth
who, giving his distant sweetheart, said,
"Delectable dear, SO sweet that honey
would blush in her presence, and tIeacle
stand appalled,"
Further, in regard to the fair sex, we
have: woman, she needs no eulogy,
she speaks for herself" Woman, the
bitter half of man."
In regard to matrimony some bachelor
once gave, Marriage, the gate through
which the happy lover leaves his en-
chanted ground and returns to earth. "
At the marriage of deaf and dumb
couple some wit wished them ''unspeak-
able bliss"
AT supper given to writer of come
dies wag said: 1.-The writer's very good
health. May he live to be as old as his
jokes"
From law critic: "The bench and
the bar If it were not for the bar,
there would be little use for the bench"

Psr,ona1 Appearance Of s.. Paul.

The following fragment Of early Chris
tan literature is unquestionably OF great
antiquity, some of the foremost writers
on Christianity having gone so far as to
attribute it to st. Paul himself. The
copy from which it was taken is in
Greek, and is now reposing in the
Bodleian library, Oxford, England:
When Paul was going up to Iconium,
as he fed from Antioch, he was accom-
panied by Hermogenes and Demas, men
full of great hypocrisy. But Paul, in
tent only on the goodness of God, sus-
pected no evil of them, loving them ex-
ceedingly, making the Gospel of Christ
pleasant unto them, and discoursing to
them of the knowledge of Christ as it
had been revealed to him.
But a certain man named Onesiphor-
GUS, and his wife Lectra, and their chill
dren, Simmia and Zeno, hearing that
Paul was coming to Iconium, went
forth to meet him, that they might
receive him intof their house, for IL
tus had informed them of the personal
appearance of Paul, but as yet they had
not known him in the flesh. Walking,
therefore, in the kings highway, which
leads toward Lystra, they waited, ex-
pecting to receive him. Not long after
they saw Paul coming toward them. He
was small of stature, bald, his legs dis
torted, his eyebrows knit together, his
nose aqueline, hut was in all a man
manifestly full of the grace of God, his
countenance being sometimes like that
of man and then again like that Of an
angel.-St. Louis Republic.

What They Did in Vacation.

The pupils in Berlin girls school re-
ceived instructions from their teachers
to give an account of some incident dur
ing their holidays in the form of let
ter. A ten-year-old child wrote: my
mother gave a poor wanderer cup OF
coffee. He asked me to obtain for him
some food and gave me his last ten
pfennige" Another wrote: my hat
was so plain that l cut some flowers in
the garden to decorate it, and hid it
away. Ny mother has not seen it yet;
but am very anxious about it." This
girl received caution as to her wrong
doing.
There is some humor in the following:
"My mother desired me to make pan
cake, and l fetched some -four and
made it. 1t was so light that it broke
in two and fell upon the sanded floor.
took it up and remodelled it. My
mother pronounced it gritty; but moth

Der of other letters was this: "My
father told me to capture some large
yellow flies and take them to an apothe.
cary, who would buy them. We caugAt

A Curious Union.

The news comes to as of the celebra-
ton of marriage contract between
Lieutenant Francis Brant, one of the
heroes of the Zulu war, with the daught-
er of King Massirrie, of Umbongavatos,
a portion of the territory of Africa.
True, the lady, his bride, is q kinky
headed Africander; and by reason of the
marriage of Lieutenant Brant he be-
comes possessed of a mining and trading
concession worth e350, 600, and he is now
the royal consort of q lady who is des-
tined to be queen of an empire 3, 500 miles
in length by 3,400 miles in width-s
territory larger in extent than the United
States of America-of innumerable re-
sources and delightful climate, and bear
ing most abundantly all agricultural
products and abounding in mineral
wealth. Prince Umbongavato expects
to become king when Massirrie dies and
rule over the Umbongavatos. He is
commander in chief Of the kings army
of 25O, 900 soldiers, and he is also judge
of all cases before the king where pen

William the ConqueFOr Liked Oysters.
In Denmark and the northern parts of
our island kitchen middens of the Stone
age yield oyster shells, and Professor
Forbes affected to pity "the enthusiastic
oyster eater, who can hardly gaze upon
the abundantly entombed remains of the
apparently well fed and elegantly shaped
oysters of our Eocene formation without
chasing "a pearly tear away"
We cannot believe that oysters ever
went out Of fashion with our ancestors.
"Ostre" occurs in Anglo-Saxon and
seems to be connected with "ost," a
knot, scale. William the ConqUeror
is said to have esteemed the English
oyster very highly, and it figures in the

Water at Fifty Cents q Drink in Maine.

A Lewiston gentleman driving in the
country found the watering places by
the roadside dry as herring bones. See
ing a farmer in a yard by the roadside
he drove up to the door and asked for
water for his horse. The man looked at
him interrogatively and said:
''Water2 1 should say not. shouldn't
agree to give your horse what water he
might want under half dollar. It's
worth that"
The Lewiston gentleman paid it and
the horse was watered, and the farmer
said in explanation that all the water
they had was brought long distance
laboriously, by hand, and that it cost
nearly that amount in time and hard
work to get it. Water at fifty cents q
