Effect of Open Air Exercise.

Mr.. Sargent of England has published
some remarkable facts showing the in
fiuence of outdoor occupations and exer-
else in lessening the rate of mortality
and that of all indoor occupations, if
long continued, in raising the rate Of
mortality among the classes following
them.
The greater longevity of persons liv-
ing in the country appears to be almost
wholly due to the fact that the greater
portion of time is spent out of doors.
Though occasionally exposed to all sorts
of inclement weather, these ruralists
attain much greater average longev-
ity than any class of professional men,
tradesmen, shopkeepers or mechanics
who spend the greater portion of their
days working or sitting in a confined
atmosphere.
1t is even shown by Mr.. Sargent
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, tc
the vital influence of the open air il
which they spend most of their time

A New Form of Street Art.

Street art, performed by ''screevers, -
on the pavement is undergoing trans
formation. People have become tired of
the daubs intended to represent salmon
on a plate or blue sunsets or trees un-
known to botany, and the artists in
chalk have experienced very hard times
of late in consequence of the charitable
ceasing to throw coppers into the artistic
plate drawn for their reception.
A "screever" who for the present
has located himself in Gray's Inn road
has devised a new plan for embellish-
ing the footpath and instructing pedes-
trians at the same time.
Instead of making pictures he gives
lessons in HindoOstanee, using the pave
ment as kind of blackboard. He writes
down in that language the name Of any
one who desires it and any sentence
that may be requested.
He explains the Tamil alphabet to
those who may be interested in the sub
ject for a halfpenny and conjugates one
of its verbs in change for penny.
His pictures may not be so gorgeous
in color as those of his predecessors, but
they have the merit of usefulness to
those who contemplate voyage to the
east The up to date 'screever's" sys-
tenn is capable of considerable extension
as a school of languages. Pearson g

People Who Enjoy Funerals.

A we'll known Irishman who is now
dead was more than likely to be seen
at the funeral of any of his acquaint-
ances, or even at that of any prominent
Hibernian, though he might not know
the deceased personally.
Walking to his place of business one
morning, he met funeral procession,
which, by its length, proclaimed itself
to be that of a fellow countryman. As
he waited for the carriages to creep by
some delay stopped its slow progress,
and seeing that the cab opposite to him
had but one passenger he stepped in.
Soon after the carriage had again
started he said to his companion:
Whose funeral is this, sir?"
The man looked up in surprise.
"Sure I don't know" he replied.

Cure ror Mango.

Mango il an unpleasant topic, per.
haps, but it is also an unpleasant fact,
and as it is a disease which is particu-
larly apt to attack pet dogs, and is very
difficult to cure, q suggestion as to its
treatment may not come amiss. There
are many so called cures which are
more or less efficacious and are always
expensive" said New England woman
and lover of dogs. 1.-The best remedy
in my experience was suggested to me
by an old plantation darby, who, by
some queer chance, had settled, or rather
suuatted, in our neighborhood, and who
covered his little patch of ground with
corn and melons which he peddled
about in the season. 'Sakes, Miss Lucy,
he said to me one day, that setter of
yourn is Jest eaten up with mango. It's
a real pity, for he's nice dog, and I'll
tell you what ii cure him. You jest take
two parts Of lard and one part of kero-
sene and rub it into him with a corn
cob-rub it in good and hard-and do
it twice a week, and between times give
him dip in salt water. It'll cure him
in no time.
land so it did. / never saw anything
so rapid in its effects. As the old negro
said 1t killed all de parasites, and in
less than a month every trace Of the
mango had vanished, the hair coming
in thick and glossy in the places left
bare by the disease. AS it is a remedy
always at hand and very inexpensive, it
is certainly worth knowing. If salt
water is not accessible, a good washing
with tar soap would be as well, and a
little flower of sulphur in the drinking
water will facilitate the cure. New

not being pressed for time, availed him
self Of the outside of an omnibus instead
Of patronizing the more aristooratio cab.
"All fares, please!' came the famil-
lar cry, when, thrusting his hand into
his pocket, the ornament of the magis-

nation, that he had come out without a
farthing of money.
An explanation of the state of affairs
was proceeding and being taken in
very ill part by the conductor when a
man, sitting near, suddenly pulled out
2 pennies from his waistcoat pocket and
said:
Here, I'll pay for you"
The ticket was duly punched and
handed over, whereupon the gentleman,
moving nearer his benefactor, said:
II am greatly indebted to you. Kind
iy let me have your name and address. "
But to his debtors great surprise this

The severest test of manhood is never
found in good times, but only in hard
times 1t is not the man who has sue
cess when others are doing we'll. but it
is the man who keeps up his courage

is wavering or going down who is the
hero in the sight Of God and men. 1t is

Rapid Photographic Printing.

Anovel method of rapid Photographic
printing has been introduced by Mr..
Friese Green of London. Mainly, his
plan is to use negatives which have been
taken up on flexible, translucent ma
terial, such as thin sheet of cellu-
loid, placing this sheet upon a sup
porting glass cylinder, so that tie
sheet bearing the negative surrounds
the cylinder, and within the latter
are one or more lamps. Over or un-
der the cylinder, and III contract with
the celluloid sheet, q band of sensitized
material from roll is carried, and SO
guided that there is always part, say
several inches, of its length in contact
with the celluloid sheet, and this part
of the band is maintained taut. Rotary
motion is given to the cylinder and for
ward motion at the same surface speed
to the band, with the result that every
section of the band equal to the CirCum-
ference of the cylinder has printed upon
it by means of the light positive i'm,
preston from the negative on the cylin
der, the same picture being produced on
every successive section of the band.
On leaving the cylinder, the band is
carried to and through fixing and devel-
oping baths, or, if it be required to
print upon both sides of the band, it
goes from the first cylinder to a second
and similar cylinder, where it is printed
in like manner upon its second side, and
then passes ON to the fixing and develop
ing baths. New York Sun.
