A Great Place for Longevity.


 To all appearance Ardnamurehan. on the west coast of Scotland, is great place for longevity. Whether 1t is be cause of the soft salubrious climate, or the remoteness of the place from the eenteTs 1 sins of population, or somefs igenous to the Ardnam- urchan nature. it would be rash to ray; but certain it is that an Ardna- nurchan seems to have @ good chance 70 become a patriarch. Within thirty years many of the inhabitants have been cut up at varying ripe ages be- tween 100 and 112. There was a Miss Ann Macdonald, a friend of Macleod, the high priest of Morven, who leisure ly laid down her life at the extreme age of 1f2. An Alexander MePherson vanished from the present vista when he had attained to 109. A third Donald Cameron, not only saw the five score comfortably out, but Jeff "a hundred individual offsprings to mourn his death.9 And a fourth, Mrs. Mary Stewart, has reached 108. Is hale and hearty, rises daily, and moves about the housa."

0sine the Life Rocket,

On a coast where shoals and reefs make the use of life boat impractic- able. or where the breakers and surf put an insurmountable barrier between 4he distressed crew on a wreck and the brave men on shore. the life rocket is resorted to; and, if the ship is within a certain distance. the swift travelling line propelled through the air comes like a messenger of hope and life to those poor souls who, but moment before, seemed beyond the reach of hu= man aid. But, see! Suddenly a snow white serpent shoots up in the air. IT comes nearer and nearer: the anxious lg strained eyes can now see the line which travels with it. 1t has reached the wreck and has been seized by eager hands. Quickly it is pulled through q tail-block, and, as they haul on, a stout rope soon follows in it's wake. Next comes hawser. ny means of which food and restoratiyes can be passed to the sufferers. Lastly comes the life buoy, and one by one the crew is safe ly landed. Sometimes a kind of car is sent, in which several people can be rescued at tbe same time.

Our Trade in the Trausvaai.

An American piano, retailing here for $200, fetches $500 in the Transvaal. An organ worth $50 here sells for $50 there. American saddles and harness don't suit the Boers, the former being too high-priced and the latter too fine for the rough overland work of trek king. In the canned meat line, Aus tralia so far updersells Chicago that our packers are in despair. Our man. efacturers sold over 1000 tons of barbed wire in 1897 to the TransEaal, but, strange to say, the fence posts came from Germany and England Four iceplants were furnished for the Kimberley mines by Chicago, having al aggregate capacity of twenty tons . day, besides 100000 cubic feet of cold storage.--New York Press.

Watching for state Papers.

Foreign embassies are always on the sharp watch for the deaths of promi- nent subjects of their respective coun- tries who may possess interesting eor- respondence of more or less value to the state Thus when the Countess Di Castiglione died in Paris, at the request of the Italian embassy, the French authorities placed it's seal on every cupboard and drawer in her house. It is suspected that she had many interesting letters from Victor Emmanuel and CaVour, in whose em- ploy she was during a part of the sec md empire. and the Italian govern ment does not intend to let these fall into Irresponsible hands.

SINGING AT THEIR WORK.
parkles Accomplish Much Moro Whoa
 They Can Make Music.


 Contractors in south Missouri em- ploy many negroes to load railroad ties on the cars of the Memphis rail- way, says the Kansas City Star. The ties are cut in the woods, hauled to the railway in wagons and dumped in piles along the side of the roads Ths negroes then take them up, tie by tie. and run with them up the blanks to she cars, where they drop them in regular order. These negroes are paid 8 price for each tie they carry, so they vie with one another to earn the most money in one day. They become 50 expert at the work that an old hand can throw heavy tie on his shoulder so that it will balance, and then, with out holding it, he will run, both hands pressed flat against his sides, up the gang plank to the car. The negroes are so accustomed to the whrk that they seldom drop a tie and seem never 10 have sore shoulders. One may see gangs Of a dozen or more of them, all singing and whistling. Each sings at the top of his voice or whistles as loud as he can. and every tune is different The effect is amusing, but beyond de- scription. The men carry their ties at trot all day long. An inspector stands beside the plank that goes up the car to examine the ties being 1oad- ed. It is amusing to hear the inspec- tor call a negro halfway up the plank with tie on his shoulder to throw it away among the heap of bad ties. The negro gets no credit=for his load and goes back swearing at his bad luck, while his companions stop their music and burst into loud, uncomfortable laughter. All these negro tie carriers have deep grooves in the right shoul- der, where the ties have pressed. but the flesh is ealloused and seldom sore. The men make good wages. most of them $350 day. They spend all of it. Very few of them save their money,

Catholic Priest on Cuba.

The Rev. Charles Warren Currier has an interesting article on the his- tory of the church in Cuba in the Conservative Review He speaks about the appointment of Mgr Sbaretti. and has little sympathy for those who wanted Cubanborn bishop. He holds that Bishop Sbarettis appoint ment was wise one, and that he will be absolutely impartial. and should therefore prove link to bind together the Cuban and Spanish priests. He is tactful and prudent. and his adminis- tration will undoubtedly promote har. mony.

Ne Insult Intended.

Philadelphia Record: While his meal vas being served on Saturday night to a West Walnut street exquisite, whom the excessive expenditures of Christ mas week had reduced to a cheap res taurant, lie showed displeasnre with the manner in which things were served. The constant rattle of dishes on the hard tables and the bellewing of the walters as they announced their orders to the cooks at the end of tne room made him nervous. When ths busy waiter deposited his order before him the young man began fusillade of reproaeh on the substantial but homely 1iands. Do you call that a veal cut let?" he demanded of the waiter. Why, such a outlet as that is an in- suit to every self-respecting calf in Bucks county" The waiter hung his head for a moment, but on recovering himself, said, in tone of quiet apol- ogy: T really didn't intend to insult Fou, sir

GREAT SALT LAKE.
No Living Thing in 1t and No Danger
 Of Being Drowned.


 The water of the Great Salt lake. Utah, is clear and transparent, with bottom of fine white sand and a mar gin of inernsted salt. It is one of the purest and most concentrated primes in the whole world. It's waters give sus, tenance to no living thing; there is not the smallest insect or worm ts frighten the most timid hather, and the bathing is the most perfect sea bathing in the whole of North Ameri- ca or in Europe No human body can sjnk in it. One may actually walk the water, no matter how deep it is Your body will persisitently rise up. the shoulders above the surface, or you may even sit down in it. It's wonder ful buoyaney must be experienced to he realized No knowledge Of swim mizg is necessary; one may enter the lake without the slightest fear; all you have to do is to lie down and float. But to swim in it, that is an- other thing! When your hands are put under the water to take stroke, your feet, like Banquo's ghost, will not go down. It is impossible to keep more than one end of your body under water at a time You cannot swim, but if you are a man you can float on your back, with your arms crossed under yoIr head, and smoke your pipe or cigar with as much ease as if in your own room. The water is so salt that it cannot be swallowed without great danger of strangulation; small drop in the eye, too, gives much pain
 But in spite of all the dangers. bath ing in the Great Salt lake is refreshing and invigorating. notwithstanding that the body must be rebathed in fresh water afterward to remove the i'm mense quantity of salt which adheres to the skin. It is hard work to make any headway, even against the smallest waves. Nearly half million people bathe in the Great Salt lake every year; they come from all over the world, and tourists are beginning to realize that Salt Lake City and the magnificent surroundings present the greatest scope of novelty, and is des- tined to be q leading watering pIaee.
