Tho Age of Animals.

A butterfly lives only few weeks, a
crow may live more than a century. and
swans are said to live sometimes over
800 years. An eminent naturalist tells
of falcon that was 162 years old. A
white headed vulture, caught in 1706,
died in 1926 in the aviary of the palace
of Schonbrunn, near Vienna, where it
had been in captivity 118 years.
Again, parrots and ravens think moth
ing of tumbling about the world for
q 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 known birds,
the ordinary cock lives from 90 TO 25
years, and pigeon lives for about 10.
A nightingale may live 10 years in cap
tivity and a thrush 10, but when free
they live much longer.
Of quadrupeds the elephant lives much
longer than any of his friends and breth-
rem. He may reach the age of 400 years.
And, you will think, he looks as il he
was made to last long time. A camel
Is old at 40, horse or bull at 25, a
lion and bear at 90. AS for the whale,
it disports itself in the sea for some 800
years, and no tortoise is considered to
have attained ripe old age before ii
reaches 90 years. rs.-Exchange.

THE STORY OF A CLIPPER.

More Trades Than One.
A young Swede came to this country
in 1851 with some money and the in
tention of building craft to be fitted
up for passengers to the Worlds fair in
London. For this purpose he located
himself at Portsmouth, contracted with
shipbuilders who had shipyards at
Eliot, just opposite Portsmouth. for a
ship of about 1000 tons, with expen
sive cabin arrangements for passengers.
The model Of the ship was that Of an
extreme clipper.
When nearly completed, the projeo-
tor fell short Of money. Masts, spars and
sails had all been contracted for and
were in a state of forwardness. The

The newsgatherer on his daily search
for items of interest often comes across
happenings of more than passing note.
1t was during recent conversation
with Mr.. A. 81. Cransby, the we'll

Cochran Lumber Company, that re-

wonderful case. Mr.. Cransby is well

Just ten years ago, I" said he, ''my
wife noticed a small lump in her
breast. She thought nothing of it, but
it increased in size rapidly, and soon
broke through the skin, and COM
menced to discharge. She was put
under treatment Of the best physicians,
but they very soon found that they
could do her no good, and simply pre-
scribed antiseptics to keep the place
clean. Both her grandmother and
aunt, by the way, had died with can
Ger, and when apprised Of this fact,
the doctors told me that they would
not attempt to save her; that she was
incurable Although the cancer had
by this time become deep seated, and
her health very low, had one of the
most noted specialists Of New York to
treat her. After treating her awhile,
this doctor admitted that the case was
hopeless and further treatment useless.
1t is difficult to imagine how despond-
ent we all became, knowing that she
must die, and unable to give her any
relief. had spent over five hundred
dollars with the best medical skill to
be had, and felt that there was no fur
ther hope.
One day happened TO read an ad-
vertisement Of s. S. s., recommending
this remedy for cancer, and in view OF
the failure of the most eminent physi,
clans in the country confess had lie
tie faith left in any human agency.
However, purchased a bottle of s. S.
S., and to my delight it seemed to ben
eft her; after she had taken a couple
of bottles, the cancer began to heal,
and as astonishing as it may seem. a
few bottles more cured her entirely.
You can probably better understand
how remarkable this cure was when !
explain that the cancer had eaten two
holes in the breast two inches deep.
These healed up entirely and although
ten years have elapsed, not a sign OF
the disease has ever returned and we
are assured Of the permanence Of the
cure, which we at first doubted.
II certainly regard s. s. s. as the
most wonderful remedy in the world,
and it is truly a God-send to those
afflicted with this terrible disease. Yes,

that shall always be grateful to that

The attendance from abroad at the
meetings of the American Institute of
Instruction did not come up to expectation
partly because expectation had been un-
reasonably high, and partly because the
great convention of the Christian En-
deavorers drew off many who would other
wise have come here. Nevertheless the
meetings have been very successful The
papers have been almost without excep-
tion of high order, containing an abun-
dance of practical suggestions, which can
not fail to be of value to the people who
listened to them. Pedagogy is rather a
dry subject to the average man or woman,
and yet the speakers at these meetings
presented it in SO attractive a way that
they drew to the hall large audiences at

A WASTE OF MONEY.

The census of 1890 is nearly completed
and will cost Sc, 900, 0O0 1t is to be hoped
that this will be the last attempt of the
government to gather statistics on so
great multitude of subjects as are con-
tanned in these volumes. An enumera-
tlon of the people once in ten years is
necessary, and there are few subjects on
which it will be profitable for the govern
ment to gather statistical information
But the dipping into such a
great variety of subjects is worse
than useless. 1t is almost inevitable
that the statistics relating to
many of them must be misleading, and
therefore productive of more harm than
good.s Such machinery as the govern
ment has at it's command is not conlpe-
tent to gather all these statistics ac-
curately. There is big margin for mis-
take, so big that it tends to discredit the
Whole work, even the portions of it which
are tolerably accurate. Furthermore many
OF the statistics, were they asccurate even,
would be of very little practical value
Long before they are published, even if
they were correct when taken, they have
ceased to represent tho existing state of
facts. The volumes are packed away
upon the shelves of libraries and are
rarely taken down. Let the government
gather such statistics as are of general
interest and Importance, and stop there.
In that way a great deal of money will
be saved and the result will be far more
satisfactory than it is now.
Suggestions along the same line might
be made in regard to a great many other
works that issue from the government
printing office. The truth is that the
government wastes an immense sum of
money every year in publishing works
which are of very limited yalue-some of
them Of no value at all Probably half
OF them could be thrust out without any
loss to the public in knowledge of value
and with a positive saving to the people of
many millions. If the next Congress is
anxious to save money let it appoint a
committee to investigate the publishing
business of the government. They will
find it a big field for fetrenchment.
