Intellectual Work and Long Life.

Now that so many women are adopting
various forms of intellectual labor as a
means of livelihood it may not be without
interest to consider the result of severe
brain work on the duration of life.
Very satisfactory references with regard
to this matter may be drawn from the ad-
dress delivered by Lord Kelvin at the ami,
versary meeting of the Royal society. His
lordship gave a list of the number of fel-
lows who had died since the last annual
meeting. These were thirty-two in num-
ber, including five foreign members, and the
deaths were unusually numerous, or, as
Lord Kelvin said, a sadly great number.
OF course it is hardly necessary to say there
were no women among them, as ladies are
not yet admitted to the dignity of the fel.
lowship of the Royal society. OF these
thirty-two deceased fellows, the ages OF
thirty were given by his lordship; two only
were under sixty. Both Of these were for.
eign members. On the other hand, two
had reached the age of ninety-namely, Sin
George B. Airy and Sir Francis G. Knowles.
The average length of life of the thirty,
who were all presumed to be highly distln,
glished in science or literature, was upward
of seventy-four years--a very satisfactory
proof that even the highest intellectual la
bors are not incompatible with extreme
longevity. All OF these gentlemen had, on
the average, passed the threescore and ten
years usually regarded as the length Of
mans life. As the average life of woman
Is longer than that of man, there is no
knowing to what age they will survive
when they more generally adopt science
and literary occupations.-London Queen.

Americans who used to go to Paris, where
they had to feed on candied violets, rose
leaves and fruits, used to get homesick for
Broadway candy stores, and wander like
nourners about the streets after peripatet-
ic soda fountains. The stories they would
pour into French ears about home products,
aud the eloauence they expended in show
ing how the French nation would open Its
eyes if New York candy shop were to
open on boulevard, would be received
with polite credulity like that given to de-
scriptions of sound steamboats, apropoa
of channel boats. The indifference OF Paris
is now of less consideration. An American
candy shop has been opened on Picadllly'
and it has made the London people open
their eyes, as it was predicted the ParisianS
would open theirs.

ton with the Goldbug, who seemed to
have become q fixture on the place, he
was sunk in melancholy or in such nerv-
Gus plight that trivial thing would
suffice to throw him into a passion.
Frau Kropff did not scruple to free her
mind Of the vehement conviction that
'some guilty secret" was worrying him,
and had pleasing suggestive stories to
tell of man in Schnorenberg, of whom
she once heard, who went on in that way
for just one month, and then hanged
himself
One day those shrewd betrayers,
Messrs. Cute and Sharp, reappeared at
the farm. Sight of them transformed
Herr Kropff's grief to indignation.
"Robbersl SchwindlersI" he cried. 81

shall have sent your skinny faces my
way to schmell out more about my farm
as know mineselluf2 Vas not fool
when 1 give you permission that you
shall schnoop about my blace? Heh?"
They laughingly replied that it was
too late to talk about that now; business
was business, and there was no reason
why they should not utilize good thing
that he did not even know he had. He
swore that he would not sell the farm to
them, but they did not appear either sur
prised or disturbed, merely replying that
"the courts would settle that" Herr
Kropff shuddered. Like most honest
men he had horror of courts Finally,
after long consultation between the
partners, Mr.. Sharp said to him:
"We have a great regard for you, Mr..
Kropf, and do not want to be hoggish
in this matter, so we can probably agree
upona compromise that will be mutually
satisfactory. We only want the north
ern half of your farm, and will pay you
for that the same amount that we had
agreed to give you for the entire place.
Furthermore, We will let you have in
payment stock in the company we are
organizing, and will put you in on the
ground floor. In other words, you shall
have two thousand shares at fifty per
cent. of their par value. the price at
which will be put upon che market the
first twenty-five thousand shares"
How many shares altogether vill
there be?"
lone hundred thousand. The divi.
dends on your two thousand shares will
bring you in from eight hundred to one
thousand dollars a month at least, and
If you choose to sell out within six
months you will get probably twenty OF
twenty-five dollars per share"
To that arrangement, with little hest.
tation, the farmer agreed. Aside from
the brilliant prospects opened up by
Mr.. Sharp's scheme, he had an idea

use as heartily as did the mythical
Lcatherstocking. He has just finished a
book called 1.-The Pamirs," describing his
latest Journey which was from India to
the Caspian sea, distance of $500 miles.
This remarkable journey was made on
horseback, afoot and by sledge and the
plucky earl was one year and three days
in traversing India, Baluchistan, Afghan
istan and Persia.
The next great trip Lord Dunmore will
take is decidedly novel one as he has
planned it. He proposes starting at Mont
real and traversing the entire length and
breadth of British North America until
he reaches Alaska. During the whole
journey he will refuse the aid of all civil
lized means of travel. He will make the
trip on horseback, afoot, by canoe and by
sledge exactly as he might have done had
he been born noble red man instead of q
noble lord. The object of his trip, aside
from the pleasurable notoriety it may
bring him, is to cross the continent by a
route never before attempted by civilized
man and to learn the secrets of the COM
paratively unexplored interior. There is
a general impression that musk oxen and
Eskimos roam over the country, and Lord
Dunmore desires to increase the worlds
store Of knowledge on these and Other
points.
The earl expects to travel in boats fol
part of the way on the Mackenzie river
Other parts of the journey will be covered
on foot, by sledge and by snowshoe. He
expects to live on jerked reindeer meat
fish, musk OK flesh and whatever proven
der the natives utilize in keeping soul and
body together. He is an ardent Nimrot
and expects to bag some big game before
reaching Alaska. From Alaska he intend:
to cross Bering sea on the ice and tramI
through Siberia and other countries unit

that he thought was his own, though in
reality it was ray from the Goldbug's
genius, and its magni6cence easily rec
onciIed him to the compromise pro
posed.
Frankly, Mr. Kropff," said Mr.. Sharp
as he re-entered his buggy with Mr..
Cute to drive away, 81 am very glad
that an amicable understanding has
been reached between us. The thing is
so big that we can afford to be liberal
and hardly any price would be too much

fer"
Mr.. Chipland was present during that
interview, but took no part in it and no.
body seemed to notice him.
When the New Workers were gone
Farmer Kropff went ont to the barn
alone, and using piece Of keil on ths
smooth face of a toolroom door, plunged
into q sea of calculations. He would
not be oyersanguine, he said to himself,
and so would take as basis the lowest,
and not the highest, figures Of income
that Mr.. Sharp had named-eight hun
dred dollars per month or nine thousand
Six hundred dollars per annum. That
he could easily loan on good security at
six per cent. Allowing one year for ac-
emulation Of that sum, as a starter, In
ten years more dividends and interest on
his loans would have reached the sum Of
$134, ,265. But his magnificent idea would
dwarf that. He, without any company
to share the profits, would work the
southern half Of his farm as gold mine
and of course it would pay him a rev
enue equal to all that the company would
take from the northern half, or, in Other
words, fifty times as much as he would
get from his two thousand shares. Ii
eleven years, then, he would have from
that source $6,713,250. The contempla
ton of those figures almost took hi
breath away. Again and again he wen
over them, each time exclaiming "My
gracious!" when he reached the grand
total of the two sums-$6, ,947 ,515.
II will be one of the richest men in tn,
vorldI" he exclaimed.
Tearing himself away from the fas
cinating exhibit, he started for the porch
walking with stately, formal tread, a
he deemed becoming for a man of hi
means. Just as he was about TO TAX,
his seat-which already almost seemed
throne-his eyes fell upon two figure
down at the gate opening into the lane
the figures of Lieschen and George, fac,

Perhaps they were not kissing: but /
not they were at least close enough to

roughly broke in upon their tender com
munings with the stern proclamation:
