How Long Do Birds Live.

Herr Weismann, q distinguished

that the average duration OF life OF

Small singing birds live from eight
to eighteen years. Ravens have lived

captivity. Fowls live from ten to
twenty years. The wild goose lives

battle at Yalu, not a serious blow has

He denied that the battle of Ping Yang

When hostilities are renewed on large

GREAT PRESENCE OF MIND.
A Terrible Catastrophe Averted BY Pub.
lie Speakers Self Control.


One of the sights of Philadelphia,
fifty years ago, was a magnificent
Chinese museum, whose treasures, col
1ected by Mr.. Dunn, munifcent mer-
chant, were displayed in a building
erected on the site on which now stands
the Continental hotel. Over the n1u-
scum was a long, narrow upper room,
about thirty-fve feet high. 1t was a
public hall, used for lectures and con-
certs, and with it was associated a most
remarkable instance of presence of
mind. A correspondent of the London
Spectator tells the thrilling story.
In the central part of This immense
auditorium were collected one evening
about three thousand persons. At
about nine o'clock, the manager of the
building came to the leader of the
meeting, white with alright, and told
him that the floor had sunk nearly a
foot, and that in few minutes more
the lemons of the joists might be out of
their sockets.
The floor would then fall through
onto the Chinese museum, and the
walls, sixty feet in height, would col
lapse and be precipitated, with the
roof, upon the assembly.
The leader explained to the person
whom the audience expected next to
hear, that-by addressing the assembly
from the end of the hall, heicould with
draw the company from the sunken
part of the floor to that where the
front walls strengthened the joists to
bear the weight of the people.
The reply to this was that his own
family wasin the audience, and that
he must get them out first. g You shall
q1oty'' said the leader; s'a hint of danger,
a rush, and we shall all be under the
fallen walls and roof. Five minutes
delay may kill us altogether
AS boy in the audience well re
member my surprise at seeing the
leader suddenly appear at the far front
of the room, and tell the people that
they would next be addressed from
where he stood-the organ-loft. AS
the audience turned and moved to the
front, the flooring rose six inches
The people were entertained partly
by an impromptu sentimental song in
a voice without quaver, in the very
face of death, and as soon as praetica-
BILE they were quietly dismissed.
Not single individual in that great
assembly was aware that, by the pres
ence of mind of one man, an awful ca
tastrophe had been averted. The
imagination sickens at the thought OF
what would have been the consequence
of a panic and sudden alarm by the
failure of the courage of this man.
/ am confident that, excepting the
speaker referred to and the manager OF
the building, no one outside the imme-
diate family of the man whose courage
prevented this catastrophe has known
the whole story till now
The terror of those minutes before
the crowd was moved and the floor
rose toward its level, was such, that he
never, even in his own family, alluded
to the scene, though he lived for forty
years afterward

A Former ResIdent Dead

The following is taken from. the
North Amherst argus:
Mrs. Eliza Belden passed away at
the home of her son, Rollin Belden,
North Amherst, o., March 10th, 1894,
aged eighty-three years.
He last illness has been of nearly
two months duration, and during
that time she has been a great suffer
er. Her son and his estimable wife
have been constant in their attend
ance upon her day and night, doing all
in their power to alleviate her pain.
Mrs. p. B. Saur, of Chicago, has given
much of her time at the bedside of
her mother.
Mrs, Belden was born in Delhi,
New York, and reared in Colebrook,
Conn. She was married at Winsted,
Conn.,, to her late husband, Martin
b. Belden, and soon after moved to
Ohio, settling in Amherst township.
She shared, with her husband, brave
ly the hardships and privations of
pioneer life.
Eight children were born to them,
four Of whom are now living-one son
and three daughters.
Her life has been full of acts of
kindness and charity, as opportunity
presented. Surely may s'her child
rem rise up and call her blessed
Mrs, Belden was a former resident
of this city, and will be remembered
well by many of the older residents
of Napolen. She was the mother Of
Mrs. w. F. Balsley of this place and
Mrs. DIR. Saur of Chicago, who have
the sympathy of the community in
the loss of a kind and affectionate
mother.

OH, NO. NOT DEAD.
waterwOrks Q aes tion Again Before
the People.

AT meeting Of the city council
Monday night resolution was passed
providing for a special election to be
held on the 14th day of May, 1894, to
again get the expression of the peo-
pie Of Napoleon uponthe waterworks
question. This becomes necessary on
account Of the attitude Of Mr.. Saygers
and others in opposition to issuing
bonds under the proceedings previ-
ously had. Their action has caused
much delay and expense to the cor
poration, which was entirely unneces-
sary.
Under the general statute, it re-
quires two-thirds vote in favor OF
issuing bonds before the council can
go on with the improvement. We be-
lieve the people are almost unani-
nous for waterworks and electric
light Fplant,,. and that that will be
their verdict at the election in May.
While this may be SO, yet friends of
the project should not sleep upon their
arms, but be up and doing, with a
watchful eye, single only to getting
out every vote in favor of Napoleon s
progress.
