Pretty Lively Eating.

When one grows weary of the eternal
ices, bl1nCmanges, Charlottes and pud-
lings served to rs year in and year out
for dessert, it is pleasant to hear of an
innovation. A Travelled American re-
marked that she once had the felicity
of sitting down to a japanese dinner at
which were served such daintieS as
melons, ices, fruits and sea frogs. There
was in addition to these sweets a COW
cred dish, into which, at the beginning
of the dinner, bottle Of wine had been
poured.
When the sea frogs and other dainties
had been discussed, the cover Of this
dish was removed, and a number of
sandhoppars, hilariously intoxicated and
jumping about in the widest manner,
were presented to the gaze Of the aston
ished American guests. The lively des-
sert, so the fair traveller says, was
caught by the Japanese with little
bamboo sticks and eaten with great
HustO.

See How Long You VIII Live.

There is very simple rule for find
Ing the average number of years which
persons of any age may expect to live
If the present age be deducted from
80, twothirds of the remainder is the
answer required. This result is not
absolutely accurate, but it is near
enough. For instance, man aged 20
might by this rule expect to live 40
years longer, which is just what the
latest actuarial tables give. At 40 the
expectation of life works out at nearly
p years, while the tables give it as
more than % years. At 60 the above
rule allows just over Is years, and the
table shows little less.
