Life Without Bodily ExercIsn.

The Rev. VIM. DAVIS, rector Of
Snunton-upon.Wye, and vicar Of An
Saints, Hereford, died 1890, aged 1O5.
The life Of this gentleman displays
tho most extraordinary instance Of
departure from all those rules of tenn
perance aud exercise which so much
influence tho lives Of the mass Of man
kind than is probably to be found in
the whole records of longevity. Dur
the last 80 years of his life he never
used any other exercise than that of
slipping his feet, one before the other.

after that were raised but 10 60 down

he seldom subjected himself. His
breakfast was hearty, consisting of
otrolls we'll buttered, with a plenti-
full supply of tea or coffee. HIS dim
ncr was substantial aud frequently
consisted of variety of dishes At
supper he generally ate hot roast
meat, though never to excess. Though
nearly blind for a number OF years, he
was always cheerful in his manners
and entertaining in his conyersa-
ton. He had neither gout, stone,
paralysis, rheumatism, nor any of
those disagreeable infrmities which
mostly attend old age, but died peace

An OkIahama Contest.

Clara George and Albert Jones we're
claimants for the one quarter-section
of land on the Arkansas River, north
of Perry, Oklahama. For two years
they had been quarreling and even
fighting over this excellent tract of
bottom land. Both built humble
cabins and have lived on the land for
two years. Some weeks ago Jones was
taken down with fever. Miss George
was informed of her neighbours ill
ness, and ventured to his lonely hut
to see him. Her heart was touched
at his Affections and she remained a
while with him. All of Jones neigh
bors left him, and Miss Georges ten
der heart compelled her to remain and
administer to the wants of her con-
testant. She remained or weeks, and
when Jones got betto ne proposed to
Miss George to divide the claim and
quit quarreling, and to this Miss
George agreed. When Jones got up
from his bed he proposed that they
marry and enjoy the claim together.
This was agreed to, and the couple
were married. Kansas City Times.

Oil PROSECUTORS on The Jordan.

According to consular reports, it is
the intention of the Turkish authori-
ties, at Jerusalem, to establisha steam
ship line on the Dead sea. The exist
ence of asphalt in that region has been
ascertained and it is supposed that
petroleum will be found also. A ra-
tional Development of the Jordan Val
ley from Lake Tiberias down, and es-
peciolly the opening up of the rich
mineral resources of the Dead sea
basin is considered a very profitable
undertaking, for which, however,
foreign capital will hardly be found,
as the legal status of property holders
in those regions is very unsafe. -Scien-

 This remark was made to us recently by a man who, for more than half score of years, has been actively engaged in the business but who had not, up to that time, known just what our system is. We do not doubt the entire accuracy of his statement. ! We may say, too, that this has always been our view of the case. From the hour when THE FIDELITY'S banner was first flung to the breeze 1t has borne the in- scription. Prove all things hold fast that which is good;'' and our invitation today. to every man, is: Examine our system, please, and then decide on its merits or de- merits for yourself; we will be content to abide the issue.'
