The theory Of spontaneous combustion
OF the human body in former times was
held by almost every expert. French
scientists in particular supported it, and
several Of them published pamphlets in
which numerous cases of alleged spon-
tancous combustion Of the human body
were described at length, but there are
three very significant points to be noticed
in connection with such reports. One is
the invariable admission that there was a
light or fire in the room where the catas-
trophe occurred; another, that the al
legged instances always happened in fami-
}ies composed of ignorant persons; and
another, that in no case was there any
actual witness OF the occurrence.
Something like seventy-fiv per cent. OF
the human body consists of water; this
fact in itself is sufficient to discredit any
OF the alleged instances of spontaneous
combustion. 1t is just conceivable that
persons who drink an enormous amount
OF spirituous liquors may become so satu'
rated, as IT were, with this inflammablt
material that their bodies burn much
more easily than would those OF people
who do not overindulge in this way; but
it is perfectly certain that the fire would
have to be applied from without, for nc
such thing as spontaneous combustion
could be possible in any article contain.

OLD IN THEIR WAY.
4 Few Curiosities that Command Our
Respect Through Their Age.

a Few Curiosities that Command Our
Respect Through Their Age.
The oldest goose on record as now liv-
ing belonged to John Ray, a respectable
resident of Croton Landing, N. Y. He
says he purchased the goose from Isaac
Hill, who made an affidavit at the time
that the faithful fowl was fifty-two years
of age then. The goose lays fifty eggs Q
year, and was sold by Mr.. Ray at the end
Of the third year OF his possession for 300.
He says, to the best OF his knowledge and
belief, she is now eighty six years OF age.
The oldest railroad conductor in the
United States is Richard Coughlin. In
1888 he ran a train from Paterson, N. j.,
to Jersey City. Each car was pulled by q
team of horses along strap rail one and
one half inches wide. The rails were
nailed to girdcrs. Uncle Dick, as he is
called, is more than eighty years OF age.
When he began every conductor had to
collect cash fares.
In all probability the oldest New Yorker
is Fri Gray, formerly of Roxbury, N. Y,
and now living at the age of 100 years on
the county poor farm at Delhi. He drinks
whiskey and smokes and chews tobacco,
and eats as hearty meal as anybody.
He says he was born in Connecticut in
1888, and once worked for Jay Gould's
father on his farm near Roxbury more
than sixty years ago.
The oldest bride OF recent mention was
Eliza A. Clark, Of New York, who, ac-
cording TO some of her relatives, was
ninety-one when, in February, 1892, she
was married to DIR. Marvin Hubbeil.
Michael Shea, of indianapolis, bad been
nearly ninety years at the forge when 1892
came. He was 11o years old October Is,
1891.
In February, 1892, "Aunt Jennie Alden
had lived 106 years in the Cutler place at
Morristown, n. j.
A plough exhibited in 1891 at Fryeburg,
Me-, had been in use 115 years.
Hickory Jim, "the oldest race horse in
the world" was running at Guttenburg
In 1892, aged about twenty-three.
Hiram Lester, OF Atlanta, Ca, who was
married there on November 4, at the age
OF 124 years, says he is the oldest living
inhabitant OF the earth. Judge Landoum
married him TO Mrs. Mary T.. Mosely, who
is eighty years of age.-N. Y. Sun.

Facts That Show the Lack OF Unhtorm-
fty I'm Our Legisistion.
In South Carolina divorces are never al
lowed; In New Jersey six causes for d.
vorce exist; in Mississippi and Montana,
seven; In Florida, Louisiana and Mary
land, eight; In Texas, nine; in Dakota,
Indiana, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, New
York, North Carolina and Pennsylvania,
ten; in Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut,
Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Ohio and Rhode
Island, eleven; In Arkansas, California,
Delaware, Kansas, Massac chusetts, Ver-
mont, and Wisconsin, twelve; In Georgia,
Nebraska, New Hampshire, Oregon and
Virginia, thirteen; in West Virginia,
fourteen, and In Kentucky, nineteen.
Some States grant divorces without the
slightest regard for public policy and sal
utary principles as TO domiciles. From
1867 to 1886, some 10000 divorces were
granted in States in which the parties
had not married.
There are twenty States In the Union
whose statutes render intermarriages be-
tween the races void. Where citizens OF
such State go out OF its territory to
have marriage ceremony performed, and
then return to their former home, the
marriage Is void in that State, although
recognized outside its boundaries.
The laws regulating the making OF wills
are as diverse as possible. An eminent
jurist recently remarked that IL he owned
property In two States he should make
will In each, as in no other way could he
meet the legal requirements OF both COM
monwealths. In Florida testator must
be at least twenty-one years OF age; In
Idaho eighteen; in Illinois and Maryland
a testator must be twenty one, and tes-
tatrix eighteen. The law of Connecticut
requires three subscribing witnesses to
will; New Jersey requires only two; in
Pennsylvania the statutes treat will as
properly probated that has been proved
by two non-su bscribing witnesses.
II a national bankrupt law could be
placed upon the statute books it would
be invigorated to the vast system of in
terstate commerce. What is usury in
one State Is legal rate of interest in
another, and this variation causes many
financial disturbances. The evils OF such
diverse legislation are growing more and
more perceptible each day, and it be-
hooves this country to take some steps TO
meet this danger before it is too late.-Orid
+. Johnson.
