Phenomena of Life and Death.

Well-known axioms, tell us that
the the average human life is
a span of but thirty-three and
one-third short years. That one
quarter of all born die before
they have seen the opening of their
seventh year; one-half before reach
ing seventeen. so that those who pass
their teens" enjoy felicity unknown
to one-half the human species. In
every thousand persons only one
reaches the age Of 80; in every hun
dred only six reach to or beyond 65,
and not more than one on an average
in 500 lives to be so years old. There
is said to be upwards Of l, O00 900, 900
human beings on the globe; of these
one-third die every year, 81, S24 every
day and $3.50 every hour, or sixty
every minute. Married men are said
to live longer than single ones; tall
men longer than short ones. Women
have more chances of life in their
favor previous to the fiftieth year
than men have, but fewer afterwards.

A Trne Story.

1t appears that a bright little fif-
teen century Italian boy, son of
humble and honest parents as pos
sessed by strong desire to go to
sea; and So when he was about four
teen years OF age, he was allowed to
make his first voyage. OF course,
there was no such thing as steam
navigation in those days. so this boy
went on a sailing ship, and pretty
mean one at that. At the start he
was as proud and happy a little
mariner as one could wish to see.
But trouble came. The ship caught
fire, and as this Italian boy never
heard of your old friend Casabianca,
and the situation was desperate, he
spang overheard. Fortunately, he
caught hold Of an oar, and with its
assistance he determined TO swim all
the way to land, wherever it might
be.
It was hard russell with the waves
for a boy of fourteen, but he had
grit and resolution, and, in short
there was other work waiting for
him somewhere he knew. So he

and another - and another = and
anothor-and finally, persevering man
fully, he accomplished the sixth mile,
and reached the land in safety

years-what he accomplished; what
he suffered; whether he was a bene-
factor TO his race or not. Who can

ARMS OF EARLY SETTLERS,
The Clumsy Weapons with which New
EngIanders Defended Themselves

EngIanders Defended Themselves
The precise population Of New Eng
land, either Indian or white. Mt the
time of Philips war can not DO stated;
but for the purpose OF war II may be-
said that the forces on one side and on
the other were equal. At that time
the Indians were as we'll used TO fire
arms as the whites, but the firelock Of
those days was but an inefficient
weapon compared to the musket OF
later times or with the rife Of to-day.
1t seems certain that in Europe flint
, locks had been introduced before this
time; but on the whole the concur
, renee Of evidence shows that such
locks were not used in the civil war in
England. and that both the kings par
ty and the Puritans still relied on the
matchbox. The form OF this can be
readily explained to any person who
has seen the old hintlock of the pres
emit century. A hammer good deal
larger than the hammer which after
ward held the flint, and quite like it.
had a screw which frightened or loos-
ened the hold which two pieces OF iron
had upon the match.
Each soldier was obliged to carry
some yards of this match with him.
and when the battle began he lighted
the piece of this match which was
fixed in the hammer OF the gun. A
pan which held powder. exactly as
the pan of a flintlock afterward did.
was in front OF the hammer. with
cover ojecting. from which a sort OF
horn ran up nearly vertical to be
opened by the hammer when the SOL
der pulled the trigger. The fire Of
the match communicated with tho
powder and the gun wentoff.
This was a sufficiently complicated
way In which men should go to bat
tie. the Chatauquan thinks. perhaps
in wilderness. where even the pro-
curing OF fire at that time was at
tended with some difficulty. The ac-
counts OF skirmishes OF those times
are full OF occasions when a shower
put stop to the whole battle. This
is because the fire of the matches was
extinguished by the rain.
To change this rather clumsy lock
into flntlock simply required that
a flint of sufficient size should Do
screwed into the hammer in the place
made for the match. The flint then
striking upon the cover of the pan.
made spark which fell at the mo-
ment the pan opened into the powder.
Evidently these locks were made with
great precision, so that the gun
missed fire very seldom.
have no doubt that one and an
other soldier in Philips war found for
himself that flint Indian arrow head
screwed in the place of his match
could be made to answer the purpose
OF firing the powder much more read
lily than the match itself could do. A
similar invention, however, as have
said. had already been made in Eu-
rope. so that 1t is thought that flint
lock guns had been found In France as
early as 1910. In 1872, however

Unto how many men each hour
Frail little fingers seek to bring
Some gentle gift of love, some flower
That is the souls best offeringl
Some happiness which we despise,
Some boon we toss aside forever
And only that our selfish eyes
May smile one moment on the giver.
How many of us count or treasure
The little lives that perish thus
To garner us a moments pleasure,
A moments space TO comfort usi
Blind, ever blind we front the sun
And cannot see the angels near us.
Forget the tender duties done
By willing slaves to help and cheer us,
Earth and its fullness, all the fair
Creations of this heaven and air,
All lives which die that we may live,
All gifts of service we pass by;
All blessings love hath power to give
We scorn, o God, or we deny. z

ing the wild and wilful looting Of the
treasury, wants to call us down. The
editor Of THE GLOBE is the only man
who bravely told the lousy pension beg
gars Il stand aside, and who, when a re
publican, advocated the claims of GROVER
CLEVELAND.
Several years ago Mr.. FAIRBRoTHER,
Of THE GLOBE, saw in the impoverished
and devastated northwest a crying need
for reform on the tariff question
Being, as he believes, honest aud fear
less, he had the temerity to advocate the
claims Of GROVER CLEVELAND, who,
above all men, set machine rule at de-
iance and said that the ~plodding pro,
Queer should be protected.
And when it mt to the cnnsidera
ton Of the condemned and conscience
less pension brggars, Mr. FAIRBRoTHER
is big enough to say that if the Philadel-
phia millionaire can give 10 honest poor
people Of The South the same c0nsidera-
ton that he would give 10 the periurcd
villains OF the North, then, indeed, will
he yield the palm.
The only reason that Mr.. FAIR
BROTHER has for showing the shame
faced rascality Of the pension thieves is
that justice has not been done.
The Advertiser says that things are to
be done to which a southern gentleman
would not stO0p.
This is an admission from republican
headquarters. 1t is an intimation that
an honest democrat would not choke a
lousy pension beggar when he had a
chance and when he saw his hand in the
national treasury.
With due Difference and ample apology
to the esteemed Morning Advertiser, we
desire to definitely and distinctly state
that if we secure the pension portfolio,
we shall feel flattered to stoop in the act
of choking the northern bummers who
are TO day plundering the treasury.
