Effect Of Open-Air Exercise on Longevity.
NJ. Sargent of England has published
some remarkable facts showing the in
luence of outdoor occupations and
exercises in lessening the rate of NOR
tality; and that of all indoor occupa-
tions, If long continued, in raising the
rate of mortality among he classes fol-
lowing them.
The greater longevity of persons liv-
ing in the country appears to be almost
wholly due to the fact that the greater
portionsof time. is spent out of doors
Though occasionally exposed to all
sorts of Indictment weather, these rural
lists attain a much greater average lon
geyity than any claas of professional
men, tradesmen, shopkeepers or me-
chanics who spend the greater portion
of their days working or sitting in
confined atmosphere.
1t is even shown by Mr.. Sargent's |
splendid array of statistics that the city |
scavengers and sewer men, who are
daily exposed to all kinds of foul odors,
are longer lived than the tradesmen and
professional people, owing, no doubt, to
he vital Influence of the open air in
which they spend most of their time.

cautiously he approached and thumped
her with the stock of his rife She
opened her eyes and before you could
say Jack Robinson she had given Fuller
three or four tears with her claws.
Some Of the claws sank over an inch in
Fuller's hands and arms, which are
marked for life.
"Those were the last blows of the
bear for the next moment Fuller had
jumped away from her and sent two
big bullets into her head

A Rainbow After night

The people of Southern Iowa and
Northern Missouri. witnessed a rare and
beautiful sight a few nights since, at a
time when a storm was rapidly ap-
preaching from the west 1t was at
time when the moon was only about two
hours high and but a few days after the
full The 'torerunners of the storm
cloud let down a considerable fall of
rain, while the main portion of the cloud
was perfectly smooth and black, hang
ing threateningly with its upper edge
near the zenith The moon shining
through the rain had the effect of
projecting beautiful rainbow on the
main cloud. The colors were indistinct
of course, but otherwise the bow was
perfect.

The Moon win Never change

The headline may give the reader the
idea that something has gotten wrong
with ous satellite. and that in the future
Luna's fair face will not go through the
regular phases Of "new moon" "hrst
quarter" "full moon" and "last quarter
as has been her wont since the time
"when the mind OK man runneth not to
the contrary" But such, dear reader, is
not the idea we mean to convey; but we
do mean exactly what the headline SAYS:
That under existing conditions land the
conditions which have existed on the
surface of the moon for perhaps mil
lions of years. 1t is a physical impossl
biiity that the face OF he moon should
change one iota. There are neither !
outside nor inside inauedces that can
be brought 10 bear 10 make change in |
the con iguration of "our silvery sister
world" Her internal fires have long
since died out and there Is an utter alb
'ence of both air and water. Existing
under such conditions it is utterly i'm.
possible rthat the face of the moon
should undergo change or disintegra-
ion even in the course of hundred
million years.

Pleasant Visit Of the Department Com
mander to Peoria.
EprroR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The last
meeting Of Bryner Post was very enjoyable.
and some of our members who are readers Of
TIE NATIONAL TRIBUNE have requested me

eax2,sr than usual. and after 8 p. m. to hold an

A Som of a veteran with a History.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: While en-.
gagged in the inspection of the various Sons of
Veterans Camps in Wisconsin had the pleas
ure of meeting Son of Veteran who is also
a veteran, and who probably holds the honor
and distinction of having been the youngest
enlisted soldier of the Union army who carried
! musket. Comrade Thomas W. Morefeld, of
Elkborn, Wis. enlisted in Co. F, 10th Wis, at
| the age Ia years and two months. After serv-
| ing four months he was discharged, and he i'm
mediately re-enisted in Co. q, LIST Wis. Art,
| and served until the end of the war; 1t was
my pleasure to see a tin-type of this embroyo
warrior, which was taken shortly after he en-
| listed, his musket resting on the ground, its
muzzle reaching to the top of his forage cap,
the bayonet towering far above his head. His
| army blouse. which. as Comrade Morefeld in.
forms me, was the smallest issued, reached far
| below his knees, and the sleeves were rolled up
! to accom- modate his boyish arms.
When we learn of such patriotism as this, is
there any reason to apprehend the downfall OF
our Republic? Never!
Comrade Morefeld is now suffering with q
| severe complication of disease. his left shout
der, breast, and side being hardened from the
effects Of rheumatism contracted in the service
aud we are pleased TO note that his fellow.
townsmen are now strongly advocating his
appointment to the Postmastership of the city
Of Elkhorn. May all such worthy soldiers be
SO rewarded.-CHAs. c. TOWNSEND, Division
Inspector of Wisconsin, Benton, Wis.

Desert TelegrsPhs.
fNeu Orleans Times Democrat


"Yes," said Joseph Bonner, Supsrintend-
emit of Telegraph for the Southern Pacific
Railroad, "teleeraph poles along the line
have hard time. Particularly is this 50
out West, where the poles are costly and
stations few and far between. Now, out In
the Arizona Desert the poles are played the
deuce with generally. There is a sort OF
woodpecker that picks the posts absolutely
to pieces, thinking there may be insects IN
aide of the wood. They hear the hummin2,
and haven't sense enough to know what
causes it. Then, near the hills, the black
bears imagine that each pole contains
swarm of bees, and they climb to the top
and chew the glass insulatOrs to pieces. Bus
the sand-storms are the things that create
the most havoc. When the winds blow
strongly the sand is drifted at rapid rats,
and the grains cut away the wood at fear
full rate. 1t was common thing to nave
an oak pole worn to shaving IN day
time, while have seen poles ground to the
surface of the earth during single storm.
Things got so bad out there that the COM
nanv decided to substitute steel poles for
those of the oak and cedar, but that didn't
remedy the evil at all. The sand just wore
