The ra.,nania. Dem.

The animal known in Australia as
the Tasmanian devil is one of the only
two survivors of what must at one time
have been a widely distributed class Of
animals, to judge from the fossil re-
mains already found in many parts Of
Australia. Like nearly every mamma
liam quadruped of the continent. the
devil is a marsupial, but with the soil
tary exception Of the SO called Tasma-
MAN wolf he is the only surviving mar
supial animal that is carnivorous and
may be regarded as u beast of prey.
The devil is now very scarce and will
soon be extinct. but in the early con-
vict days of the island-when Tasma-
mia, then called Van Dienlan's Land,
was the penal settlement for the worst
class of British convicts-they were
plentiful, and many CHASTITY stories
were afoat of their attacks upon escaped
convicts who had taken to the bush.
1t is believed that the name of devil
was bestowed on the animals by the
convicts, who had learned to look Upon
them with almost superstitious fear,
partly in consequence of their appear.

The Poor and the Poor.

show how primitive and frontie1ike
are the neighborly relations, a y Jane

the economic condition of all alike is on
a most %precarious level makes the ready

People Who Live Long.

Among the many curious things
noted by the %actuaries the following
are a few of the most interesting. Wo-
men have a much better prospect Of
long life than men, and tho chances of
married people are distinctly higher
than those of bachelors and old maids.
From the data provided by the rec
ords of various churches it has been de-
duced that the peaceful Quakers have
most frequently received the blessings
of long life promised in the fifth COM
mandment, while the death rate is re-
markably high among Methodist clergy
men. Annuitants as a class live from
three to five years longer than other
people, and this is not due to human
perversity, as some hulnorists have sug-
gested. It is undoubtedly due to the
lack Of worry regarding the changes Of
fortune when a regular income is a GER
tainty.
Although no statistics have been COL
lected on the death rate in the civil
service, where the yearly income almost
partakes Of the character of an annuity,
1t would perhaps be found that there is
some scientific basis for President

this class, "Few die and none resign"

A View of Edn,unds.

George F. Edmunds had a high repu-
tation in the country as an able lawyer
and a faithful and Independent senator.
He had unquestionably rendered great
public service in the senate. If elected,
I believe he would have administered
the presidency on the principles which,
large majority of the people of Massa-
chussets held. He was an excellent de-
batter. He was very fond of criticising
and objecting to what was proposed by
other men. He seemed never go happy
as when in opposition to the majority
of his associates. But he possessed what
persons of that temper commonly lack
great capacity for constructive states
manship. Any measure of which he
was the author would be likely to &C.
complish its purpose and to stand fire.
David Davis, who was president pro
temporo Of the senate, used to say he
could always compel Edmunds to vote
in the negative on a question by put
ting the question in the old New Eng
land fashion. Contrary minded will
say no." for Edmunds was always con-
trary minded. I once told him, borrow
ing a saying of an Englishman, that if
George Edmunds were the only man in
the world George would quarrel with
Edmunds. Senator George F. Hoar, in
Scribner's.

A Man of Resource.

A big, uncouth looking stranger, with
shoulders like a Hercules, walked into a
department store late one afternoon,
and, after gazing about a minute, step
ped up to q salesman and made known
his wish to buy a shirt. A couple Of
samples were shown him, and he in
formed the salesman that either one
would do.
1t was an article that sold for 81. so,
and in making payment the stranger
pulled from his hip pocket a huge roll
of bills. He apparently skinned them
over In search Of a small bill, but he
could not find one of less denomination
than $500. One Of these was handed
the surprised salesman, but he arose to
the occasion and sent it away with the
cashboy. When the change came, 1t
was nearly all in small bills. The stran-
ger interrupted the salesman in his
work Of counting the bills by reaching
for the pile and wadding it into his hip
pocket.
"Oh, I guess it's all right, and you
give that shirt to a porter if you can
find one big enough to wear it. All
wanted was the change. You see, il
was after banking hours, and I am 8
man Of resources. Good day. "-Phila.

Six Months In a Bath.

Life in a bath must be somewhat mo.
notonous, but it is quite common in the
best of our modern hospitals. At first 1t
was tried only in a few absolutely hope
less cases, but the RESULTS were so salts
factory that various forms Of disease are
now systematically treated by continu-
Gus immersion in water.
Some time ago, for instance, a young
girl was dying from a complication Of
terrible diseases. She was q mere shad-
ow, and nothing but death was before
her under ordinary treatment But an
ingenious doctor placed her On a sheet
and sank her into q warm bath, 80 that
only her. head remained above water.
The: bath was kept constantly. warm.
and in it she ate, drank and slept, for
1873 days and nights. At the end Of the
time she stepped out fat and strong.
In skin diseases the continuous bath
is invaluable, for it can be medicated.,
and many hopeless cases Of burning
have been successfully treated In this
extraordinary way.-Exchange.

Mother Love Conquered.

A pathetic incident which happened
recentlyin this city shows that a strong
will can sometimes do more in combat
ing dread disease than all the skill Of
the medical fraternity. An entire fam
lily, consisting of both parents and four
children Of tender age, was stricken
with malignant pneumonia. The wife
was apparently the worse sufferer, and
her case was given up by the doctors Is
beyondshope. Meanwhile her husband
became suddenly worse and died. Ev-
erything that medical science could do
had been done for the wife without
avail, and after consultation the ply
sicians decided to take a desperate risk
and tell her of her husbands death,
reasoning that the shock might kill her,
but also might arouse her ebbing
strength and assist In checking the
coma which vas already presaging dis
solution.
The experiment was tried, and when
the devoted mother learned that her
death would leave her children without
aprotector, her mother love aroused her
last energies and she not only survived
the great shock of her life partners
death, but she actually recovered

B%ruta1ities at Sea.

In The Pail Mall Magazine ". Clark
Russell quotes the instructions given by
the Earl of Lindsay in 1855 to his cap
tains:
1.-The keynote is struck with the de.
%votional spirit of the age. The chief in
command is to take care that all the
officers and companies of lhe ships
worship God twice a day. Swearing,
drunkenness, robbery, sleeping on watch
and the like were to be punished &C
cording to the order and custom of the
sea. ~Punishments were brutally severe
in those times. They marooned-tnat is,
they set a man ashore alone on a DESC
late coast or island and left him to
starve. to be destroyed by savages or
wild beasts.
"They keel hauled-that is, they
dragged a man naked by yard arm
whips under the bottom of a ship, and
drew him up raw and bloody with the
harsh wounding of barnacles and spike
like adherences. only to be submerged
afresh ere the unhappy miscreant could
fetch a full breath. They nailed a man
to the majnmast by driving a knife
through his hand. For murder (that
was often manslaughter) they tied the
living to the dead, back to back, and
threw them overheard"
