The Age of Animals.

A butterfly lives only few weeks.
a 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 1872
years old. A white-headed vulture,
caught in 17O6 died in 1925, in the
aviary Of the palace of Schonbrunn,
near Vienna, where it had been in cap
tivity 11S years. Y
Again, parrots and ravens think moth
ing Of tumbling about the world for a
hundred years or more, and some of
the sea-birds and water fowl outlive
several generations Of human beings.
To come down to some well-lnown
birds, the ordinary cock lives from
twenty to twenty-five years, and pig
con lives for about ten. A nightingale
may live ten years in captivity and a
thrush fifteen, but free they live much
longer.
OF quadrupeds the elephant lives
much longer than any of his friends
and brethren. He may reach the age
Of 400 years. And, you will think, he
looks as if he was made to last long
time. A camel is old at forty, a horse
or a bull at twenty-five, lion and a
bear at twenty. AS for the whale, it
disports itself in the sea for some 300
years, and no tortoise is considered to
have attained ripe old age before it
reaches ninety years. ..'

Some Curious Facts.

Rapid growth of the finger-nails is
considered to indicate good health.
There are sixty varieties of bamboo,
the smallest six inches and the largest
$50 feet tall.
The tromomcter is a mechanical d.
vice Of DR.. Quintard, a Frenchman,
for gauging the trembling Of nervous
people.
Since the beginning of the century
France has fallen from the second to
the fourth place in point Of popula-
ton among European countries.
The Caspian Sea is the largest in
closed body of water in the world. 1t
varies between 74O miles in length and
200 miles in breadth.
The Dajakese, of Borneo, never bury
a dead member of their tribe until

at the interment or cremation, to at

The points of the compass may be

A New Merry-Go-Round,

A writer in Youths Companion tells
d a new nerry-go-round game for
children. This evolution from an old
game is full Of mirth. A row is form
ets the children taking hold Of hands.
They are to initiate the movements Of
the leader. They begin to move to the
following ditty, recited in monotone:
l put my right foot III,
l put my left foot out,
i give myself shake,a shake a shake
And turn myself about.
The class recites the ditty in action
IN harmony with the leader, each put
ting out the right foot and turning.
But the leader changes the ditty from
right foot to left foot, or right or left
arm, and If any one makes a mistake
and puts out the wrong foot or arm,
that player is to be turned out of the
society in the following way, which is
clearly indicated by the recitation:
He puts his left in,
He puts his right foot out,
And Well give him shake, a shake, a
shake,
And then Wen turn him cut.
The play goes on until all, or nearly
oil, have made mistakes and are turn
ed out. Those turned out become a
committee to detect the mistakes of the
Others. If the players become too ex-
pert the rhyme may be suddenly turned
to the eyes:
I shut my right eye in,
l look my right eye out, etc.
The leader may easily disconcert
those whose long remain in the class
by sudden changes in the rhyme. The
imitation of the "shake, q shake, a
shake" and the whirling about is lively
and amusing, and the turning out OF
those who make mistakes by giving
them shake is q frolic.

HOBBIES OF NOTED WOMEN.

Actors and Singers Particularly No.
ticeable for Their Odd Fads.
The princess of Wales has a mania
foc collecting postage stamps. Queen
Victoria's hobby finds vent in the col
lection Of curious coins. The late Com
Jesse Ruspoli spent many years of her
life in collecting Napoleonic relics and
succeeded in acquiring very valuable
assortment.
Professional women are, according
to the Philadelphia Times, most given
to this sort OF thing. Clara Morris
and Mrs. Langtry cote on horses, the
latter having put to good use her love
Of them by the discretion she exer-
cises in buying those that win many a
purse for her on the turf.
Mrs. Bernard Beere buys mechanical
dolls as other women invest In bon
bons, and her collection is large and
valuable one. Fanny Davenport goes
In for antique jewelry and odd hair
pins, while Pauline Halls more mod
ern taste inclines her toward sapphires
and turquoises. 1t is said she possesses
more beautiful marquise rings than any
woman in the profession.
Christine Nilsson has fancy for
fans Of rare lace and exquisite work
manship. This little hobby is one Of
the most expensive ones that can be
thought of, and unless one possesses
royal friends or royal pocketbook the
mania should be transferred to some
thing less apt to bankrupt one.
Agnes Repplier, as representative
literary woman, divides her time be-
tween her essays and a large and inter-
esting family of cats that she adores.
Bernhardt's fads are too numerous to
mention, while there are many women
in private life who let their fancy run
rampant on shoes, old silver, laces,
autographs and in fact hundreds Of
queer fancies. for individual tastes lie
in different directions, and the world
Of women is ever growing larger.

The Armstrong Gun Company has

She tried nearly all kinds of medi-

DR.. Talmnge's Eldest Daughter.
A gentleman of the old school would
be consoled IL he could meet Mrs. Jessie
Talmage Smith, the eldest, and perhaps
the most interesting of DIR. Talmage's
five daughters, writes Emma Trapper
In delightful sketch, with portrait,
In the February Ladies' Home Journal.
In these days of feminine activity it
sounds paradoxical to write that wo-
man may be interesting-very interest
ing-even though she belongs to no
club, Is connected with no charitable
nor other organization whatsoever, and
even though she be as free from hob
bles and fads as girl Of ten.
Mrs. Smith does not paint, fence nor
ride; she plays little and sings very
little; she herself admits that she is
not over fond Of reading, and yet with
all these negatives, she is most inter-
esting woman, shining in those domestic
and womanly virtues which are apt
to be considered as characteristic Of
the past, rather than of the present gen.

Mrs. Smiths chief charm is her can
dor There are many women whose
productions for certain accomplish
ments are no more pronounced than are
Mrs. Smiths, but they are not so frank
In disclaiming, nor so interesting in
their personality.
Pressure Means Bad Form.
Abnormally developed waists and hips
are invariably the result of undue
pressure at these points. The muscles,
rendered inactive by the force brought
to bear upon them, become weak and
flaccid, and as result soft, flabby
flesh forms over them. When the
pressure is removed, and the muscles
through exercise grow active. super
fluous flesh naturally disappears, slowly
but surely.
The stout woman can improve her
appearance by the artistic study of
dress and proper care of the body;
the thin, angular, ill-developed woman
can accomplish wonders by exercise.
The cavernous neck, with it's ugly hol-
lows, may be made full and shapely
by deep breathing exercises, rotary
movements Of the head, and active po-
sition of the chest, but all padding must
be discarded to give fabby muscles
chance to reassert themselves. Pro-
truding shoulder-blades will be per-
manently fattened when the active
chest becomes habitual. Grace will
be impaired to motion when the toes
are turned outward, and often increased
physical vigor results from correct posi-
ton Of the feet in walking, as it is
averred by the doctors that weaknesses
Of the pelvic region are often traceable
to the intoed manner of walking pecu-
liar to many women.

Hard deposits In Steam Boilers.

A very simple method of preventing
hard deposits IN steam boilers is men
toned by M. Schmidt, a French en-
gineer. There are two boilers IN use at
the same time, one being at rest, and
the water in use is very bad, being very
c~alcareous and magnesic, with organic
matter, chlorides and a little su1phate of
of lime. Each boiler is allowed to go on
working for about 500 hours before
being cleaned, when it is stopped,
with the water in it, and allowed to cool
down for about a week. The masonry
is allowed to become cold, and then the
tap is opened, also the safety valve, SO
that the water runs naturally out of the
boiler, the latter, when empty, being en-
tered and simply swept. The deposit,
being in the form of damp mud, is easily
swept away, leaving the boiler as clean
inside as if it were new.
This method has been in use some five
years and seems to show that the ordi-
nary hardening of deposits in boilers is
due to the absence OF water in them
while the mud and the iron are being
heated by the brickwork when the boiler
has been emptied by the ordinary meth
odunder pressure. 1t is necessary, how
ever, under this system, TO be able to do
without the particular boiler for some
eight days.-New York Sun.
