used to invariably accompany the chief
in all his expeditions against his enemies,
in order that he might transcribe in
glowing verse the deeds of proves done
by his chief aud the clan. The geneaology
Of the family is in his keeping, and he
can recount from memory all the stirring
events connected with the history of the
house, which have been orally handed
down to him by his father before him.
Like the Scald of the ancient Norseman,
the bard takes delight in narrating in
open durbar, when called upon by his
lord, some inspiring themes connected
with the fortunes OF the family. 1t is
then, surrounded by an admiring and
sympathetic audience, tina. he will
launch out IN the Aowery language Of his
country, and with magical effect stir the
hearts Of his listeners with the thrilling
accounts of how their ancestors fought
in defence Of their homes and their race,
and fell covered with wounds, perform
ing deeds that have left them deathless
names, and how by emulating their ex'
ample, aud treading in their footsteps,
they will make resplendent the blood OF
their ancient line. All this has in these
DAYS become utterly unreal, but all the
same we cannot be surprised at the
respect with which the bard is regarded
when he thus recalls the most stirring
memories of the race.

The Greatest Natural Bridge.

You all know of the Natural bridge
in Virginia, and perhaps have heard
how the first president Of the United
States, in the athletic vigor of his youth,
climbed up and carved his name high
on it's cliff. A very beautiful and pic
turesQue spot it is, too; but many Of
them would not begin to make one of
the Natural bridge in the western edge
Of the Tonton basin, Arizona, in the
same general region as Montezuma's
well and castle, but it is even less
known.
The Natural bridge Of Pine creek, Ari-
xona, Is to the worlds natural bridges
what the Grand canyon Of the Colorado
is to the worlds chasms-the greatest,
the grandest, the most bewildering. 1t
is truly entitled to rank with the great
natural wonders of the earth-as the
Natural bridge in Virginia is not. No
photograph can give more than hint Of
it's majesty; no combination of photo
graphs more than hint at it.-St. Nicho-

In future Germans are to have the
thermometer of Celsius to tell them
how hot or cold it is. Until now Ber-
lin has used that of Reaumur. 1t seems
a strange arrangement, or arrangement,
that the English should use the ther-
mometer of the German Fahrenheit,
while the Germans make use of the
Frenchman's Reaumur, and the French,
in their turn, have the Swedish Celsius.
The number of degrees corresponding

AMERICANS WHO LIVE LONGEST.
Occupations That re Conducive to tsne

Short Lives.
"What occupation tends most to pro.

pretty good basis from which to draw
conclusions on the subject. According

'sAnd who after them?'
ssNext to them in point of longevity

The last may occasionally furnish food
for the larder of untutored savages, but
they are first class risk nevertheless.
Next come bankers and capitalists, who
seem to live just a trile longer than
butchers and marketmen. Lawyers and
jewellers follow, and they are succeeded
on the list by merchants, peddlers, milk
men and pawnbrokers. Then come
gardeners, laborers, civil engineers and
canvassers. Perhaps the treatment

the ordinary course of their business

"Oh, they don't live as long as any of

keepers and bank cashiers, as well as
artists and architects, are ahead of them.
They come in next, with the printers,
physicians and gentlemen who are not
engaged in any active employment.
Then follow the apothecaries and pho

BERLIN, Sept. .D.-Professor Rumpf Of
tho Ephcndorfcr hospital, Hamburg. has
reported his experience In the treatment
of 5000 cholera patients. He declares that
ali yaunted remedies were used, including
salol crcsol, crcasotc, lactic acid and
hydrocholcric acid. He injected sulphric
acid and morphia, as suggested by Amer
lean doctors he also found them of no
avail, bu, In mild cases an injection of
tannin was successful. Professor Rumpf
concludes that all methods aiming merely
at disinfccting the intcstincs fail that the
remedies must bo sought which remove
choleric bacilli from the intestines. He
mentions hot baths. hot coffee, tea, wine,
champagne aud camphor rs useful in
critical cases. lie adds that an injection
of solution of common salt cures - per
