The Age Of Animals.

A butterfly lives only few weeks, =
crow may live more than century,
and swans are Said to live sometimes
over three hundred years An eminent
naturalist tells Of falcon that was one
hundred and sixty.two years old. A
whi e-headed vulture, caught in 1905,
died in 1926, in the aviary OF the pal
ace of Schonbrunn, near Vienna, where
at had been in captivity one, hundred
and eight years.
Again, parrots and ravens think
nothing Of tumbling abont the world
for hundred years or more, and some
of the sea-birds and waterfowl ont
live several generations of human be-
;ngs. To come down to some of the
birds with which we are well acquaint-
ed, the ordinary cock, unless he has
his head cut off by the cook or her con-
federates, lives from twenty to twenty
five years a pigeon, save when it van
ishes intoa pie-dlsh, lives for about ten
years. A nightingale in captivity, may
live ten year, and thrush fifteen; but
when they are free they live much
longer.
OF quadrupeds the elephant lives
longer than any Of his friends or breth-
ern; he may reach the age of four hun
dred years. And, you will think, he
looks as if he was made to last a. good
while. A camel is old at forty, lion
and bear at twenty. As for the whale,
it disports itself in the sea for some
three hundred years; and no tortoise is
considered to have attained a ripe old
age before it is at least ninety years
old.

Imagination 10 Smokes.

The question has been asked why
mar smoking pipe should not be a.
ware when the candle is put out wheth-
er the tobacco Is still burning. There
is, first, the polut of fact. 1t may be
questioned if any one really finds him
self in the difficulty supposed. We be-
lieve that, under certain conditions. the
doubt may exist. Smokers are not al.
ways large consumers of the weed
They often form habit Of taking very
little smoke. into the mouth and OF
breathing chiefly through the nose.
The consequence is the 'pleasure" Of
smoking may consist in having some
thing to do, and the sensation Of doing
something that is quite as likely to be
matter of seeing as OF tasting. In
cases of this class, the smoker, being de-
prive of his accustomed evidence of
means of enjoyment, may be distress
ed. OF course it is not alleged that
man cannot ascertain whether the con.
tents of his pipe is lighted when he
happened to be in the dark. That
would be sheer folly.
Meanwhile the experiment, if such it
can be called, is we'll calculated to draw
attention to the economic question how
far the pleasure Of smoking is generally
imaginary. If it be, a suitable substi-
tute for the expensive cigar and waste
full pipe might be found in some per-
manent material, ofproper consistency,
moulded into the approved shape. It
has long been mystery to some smok-
ers how other smokers conld systemat-
ically smoke bad cigars; the mystery
may be dispelled if it should turn out
that the fumes of the tobacco are not
even inhal,d
A lake, so long as it is not frozen is
a reservoir of heat, which tempers the
cold of winter. DR.. Forel calculates
that the heat envolved from the Lake
of Geneva during five days Of extreme
cold in December was equal to that
produced by the combustion Of 1880,
600 tons Of coal. The sky having been
generally covered with coluds during
those five days, most of the heat must
have been retained in the lower atmos-
phere, and no doubt served to mitigate,
FOR that region, the cold that was so
severe elsewhere.

The confidence that people have in Ayers
Sarsaparilla as a blood medicine is the legiti :
mate and natural growth Of many years. 1t
has been handed down from parent to child,
and is the favorite family medicine in thou
sands of households. asl
''Sx days shalt thou labor" says the great
lawglver. To do good work, man must be at
his best. This condition is attained by the
use of Ayers Sasaparilla. 1t overcomes that
tired feeling, quickens the appetite, improves
digestion, and makes the weak strong.

three days of duress last August could not be used against her now.
 Dr. Dolan told of where and how he found the bodies. T found, among other things" he said, "the bloody handkerchief. It was near Mrs. Borden's head. It was quite close to her head. It was an old handk erchief of silk"

 He had called at the house & number of times before he collected all the material which he had gathered. On the claw hatchet he found spots. He examined them through a magnifying glass.

Most persons will agree that before proposing persistent young men should take lessons in tact and avoid seeming too certain of their object. A very dig nifed and indignant young girl uttered the other day long wall of wounded pride. It seems that during the inaugu- ration she met an contemplating young business man from Ohio, who proposed 10 her two days after he met her and was promptly rejected. But 1t didn't make any difference. He kept on writ Ing and sending me photographs of all his family, ahough I didn't take the slightest notice. Then he sent me TO- pound pail of chocolate drops. The hor- rid things were pink and green inside and made the cooks child, to whom gave them, sick. Then he wrote me a letter: Dear Ida-Pack your trunk and come to Toledo. mean business. l really love you. Be mine, and the eter- nal sunshine of love shall envelop you, and shall be as generous in all things as with the chocolate drops, in return for which only ask your heart and hand wrote him two lines that if he has any sense will stop him. You see, be is wild Republican. so just wrote, Consistency is a jewel, but you put too high a tariff on your chocolate drops Now, don't you think he will stop being so conceited as to think l like himY'-- Washington Post.

Mother of Pearl In Again.

"Mother O pearl always reminds me of old times" said Daniel Simpson, land am real glad to see it coming into fash ion again. I remember my father had a dagger with a mother O pearl handle that Macready, the actor, gave him for a keepsake. ''It wasn't dagger either. but genuine bowie knife that Macready got from some southern admirer. It was among the things of youth n my home that remember most distinctly. Many timed sneaked it into the cellar, where we boys had a little theater, to play trag- edy with it. Everything in those days before the war was mother O pearl. Mother O pearl brooches were worn by the women, and they carried mother O pearl pocketbooks. Relatives that visited Niagara falls brought back some trink- cts made of it, together with the strings of shells that the Indians used to sell them. Umbrella handles, knife handles, etc.. are ill the mother O pearl again, and so far as this freak of fashion is con cerned we are landed back again in our grandmothers' days."-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

The Smallest Yet.

Quality rather than quantity was the principle upon ,swhich Washington bride planned her trousseau. The mar riage, which could only be chased under the head of runaways, was undoubtedly the subject of much deep thought be- forehalsl, inasmuch as the accessories of toilet to be carried upon the eventful trip were reduced to minimum. The wedding took place in the summer, and the conventional travelling bag was re- placed by white lace parasol. This was carried furled, the filmy white founces serving as receptacle for the trousseau "a pair of curling tongs and tooth brush. .-KPte Fields Washington.

Up-Lizzie Borden's Counsel Scores a
 Point In Having the Inquest Testimony
 Excluded.
 NEW BEDFORD, Mass, June 8.-Up to the time that Dr. Bowen took the stand this morning the prosecution of Lizzie Bor- den had developed but little new evidence and none that was startling. The testi- mony of Bridget Sullivan was not so dam- aging to the prisoner as had been expected.
 The reason of the absence from court of Emma Borden, Lizzie's sister, and several other ladies, is that they are government witnesses and have been impounded.
 NEW BEDFORD, Mass, June 9.-There arc conflicting opinions as to the value of the last testimony in the Borden trial. It is certain that the defense awoke to the ex- agencies of the occasion for the first time, and ex-Governor Robinson gave the first hints of the part he intends to play in the drama now on the boards at the New Bed ford courthouse.
