Symptoms OF Longevity.

Every human being carries with him
or her. as the case may be, signs which
to the experienced will tell whether shat
person will live long or not. Nature has
certain ways of telling her secrets, and
the expert can read them as though they
were a book. Here are some Of the
symptoms of longevity:
If your lungs are large you will live
long.
If your heart and stomach are large
you will live long.
If the trunk of your person-that is
the body itself-is long in proportion tC
the limbs, you will live long.
If you appear taller when sitting down
than when standing Tin proportion) you
will live long.
If your hand has short fingers and a
heavy palm, you will live to a good old
age.
IF the orifice of your ear be low, denot.
ing a deeplyseated brain, you stand a
good chance of being old.
If your eyes be brown or hazel. you
will live longer than though they were
black or violet.
If your nostrils are open and free, you
will live longer than if they were narrow
and half closed.
There are exceptions to these rules of
course, but science has found that one
with the above characteristics stands 9
better chance of having gray hairs than
one without them.

STRANGE NEIGHBORS.
Lions in the Cellar of House Occupied
by a Family.

The cellar of a house inhabited by
human beings is a strange place for wild
beasts to make their home, but it has
happened far back in the hills near SUI
mol, Alameda county, Cal, where Anto-
Mo Nunez, farmer, lives with his fam
lily. Two weeks ago he moved from his
old home to another house that had not
yet been occupied.
For several days after Antonio and
his family moved into their new home,
they heard strange sounds coming APP
parently from the cellar. Nunez deter
mined 70 make an investigation, and he
called in a few friends to his assistance.
Armed with shotguns they made their
way into the cellar.
They had hardly reached the side of
the stone walled place when from the
place beneath the stairway bounded a
splendid specimen of a California lion
ess, and before a shot could be fired, she
escaped through an open door. A second
later, the lion made jump for the stair
way, but Antonio killed him at the first
fire.
While his friends stood guard at the
doorway, Antonio made a search under
meath the stairway and found four cubs.
They were as comfortable as kittens,
having an old coat and a quilt for bed.

FREAKS OF THE MISSOURI.
Farmers Who Find Their Fields Have
Disappeared Over Night.


In the May st. Nicholas, Frank 81.
Spearnan has paper entitled "a Shift
ing Boundary" which is particularly
timely just at present, as it tells of the
way the Missouri river has of suddenly
changing it's boundaries Mr.. Spearman
says:
Of course you've heard of the curious
freaks of the Missouri river-the big
Muddy" how the sudden, treacherous
mountain waters roll down in mighty
floods from Montana and Wyoming, rico
Chef from side to side of the broad valley
they have eaten deep into the soft pral-
ries, and pour headlong into the Missls-
sippi near ST. Louis; how, night and day,
winter and summer, the twisting torrent
shifts its channel, cuts it's banks, under
mines railroads, astonishes the musk
rats, keeps the fish studying guideposts,
worries the bridge guards and sets the
farmers crazy. For, just think of 1t:
the Nebraska farmer who land stretches
along the river goes to bed thinking he
will cut his broad acres of golden wheat
in the morning; but, 10! in the night that
madcap river has entered his waving
fields. and like snow they have melted
away. Grain, fences, trees, buildings,
land-are gone! And a great, sullen,
yellow flood boils and eddies where his
harvest smiled yesterday.
Next week, very likely, the reckless
stream will make his neighbor across
the river present of hundred or more
acres, just because he doesn't need them.
Of course, it was natural for a man who
lost his land that way to look longingly
across the river, and think, after awhile,
that the newly-made land over there be-
longed to him; and many a wearisome
lawsuit has been begun to recover title
to made" land which lies, maybe, ex-
actly where the lost farm lay, but on the
other side of the river. Perhaps there
is some equity in such claim; but the
trouble is, that sort of thing is going on
all the time. and the courts said they
couldn't keep track of such FRANKS; that
lands acquired by accretion-mark that
word-should belong to the farmer who
owned the river bank where they were
thrown up; that if the river took your
farm, you would have to fish it out of
the stream you lost it in; at least, you
needn't ask the courts to give you an
other for it.

Saw the Battle OF Waterloo.

Mrs. Julia Zaszinski, who is now in her
second century, being 1O1 years old, is
one of the romantic characters of the
West GRANDMOTHER" Zaszinski is re-
markably strong and preserved for her
advanced age, and is being we'll cared
for by the Sisters of st. Joseph's hos
pital in Tacoma. She came to the sis
ters one cold day, several years ago,
out of the street, and has made her
home with them ever since. She was
born in the land of Kosciusko and when
q child removed with her parents to
Prussia-on-t the Rhine, on account of a de-
sire on her fathers part to keep his
head on his shoulders, after the triumph
of the political party he had been op-
posing. She lived there until young
womanhood and saw the country de-
vastated by war more than once. When
a girl II years of age she heard the can
mons opening roar at Waterloo, and
from a treetop, where she had climbed
to keep out of the way of the soldiers,
witnessed the last charge of the Old
Guard and saw the closing act in the
great drama of which Napoleon had
been for years the star. Wellington and
his staff stopped at her fathers house
on their way to the battlefeld.-San

after they get through shooting wild

Great and Small Paintings.

The largest single subject painting that
is recognized as a real work of art is
Tintoretto's Paradise" 1t hangs in the
Venice and measures "a feet wide and 81
feet high. Probably the smallest paint

Of a Flemish artist. 1t is so small that
it could be completely covered by a grain

with a sack on his back, while on the ter
race where the mill stands is cart and
horse, and on the road leading to it sew
eral peasants. We do not know where
this picture is now.
