Compnratiye Longevity.

1t has often been remarked that
while nothing is so uncertain as the du.
ration of any given human life nothing
is more certain than the aggregate of
years which may be assigned to q
group Of 100 persons or more at any
particular age. The expectation of life
at given age, to use the actuarial
phrase, differs considerably, as might
be expected. in different countries, and
Englishmen may be surprised to learn
that they are not the longest living
among the white races.
At the age Of 20 an Englishman In
average health may expect to live AZ
years, and any life Office will grant him
a policy based on that probability. The
Americans expectation is for slightly
longer period. On the other hand,
German lad Of 20 can count upon little
more than 80 years and half.
IL would seem. therefore, that the
restlessness attributed to the American
Temperament does not necessarily con-
duce to the shortening Of life nor the
compOsure of the German to its pro-
longation. Possibly the better feeding
and clothing of Americans in the lower
classes of the population are the princi-
pal causes Of their greater longevity.
Their position is, at any rate, main
tanned in later as well as in earlier
years.
I The American who has reached GO
may look to complete ii years more,
while the Britishers expectation is on
1y about 10 years and 10 months and
the Germans as nearly as possible II
months less. Both at 20 and at GO the
Frenchman's prospect is little better
than the Germans and a little worse
than the Englishmans.-Lo Globe. |

cow PEAS AMONG CORN.
satisfactory Experiment in Plant
ing Cow Peas in the Field
with Corn.

One of the experiments | decided
to make last year was the planting
Of cow-peas between the hills in the
corn rows. Last spring my corn was
planted late in May. When it was up
and cultivated once over | planted
one acre to cow-peas, putting the
seed in half way between the hills
with a hand corn-planter. The soil
was in good condition, so the job was
easy and quickly done. The variety
planted was the black. an early. mod
erately dwarf sort. The plants soon
appeared, but did not in the least i'll
terfere with the subsequent cultiva-
tions Of the corn. The drought set
in, followed by the burning hot winds
of July, and the corn made less than
half Il crop. The peas grew slowly
all summer, and when the corn was
cut, the last days of August, they
We're ten to fifteen inches in height
and fairly well supplied with seed
pods. September i | drew in the fod-
der and tethered a milk-cow on the
peas. September 20 sharp frost
killed all that remained, but | kept
the cow on them and she took off
every pod. Before tethered her on
the peas she had been steadily falling
in yield of milk, but from he first
meal the yield increased unit frost
nippcd the peas, when the yield ,egan
to decrease again.
The experiment this season showed
that the peas can be put in cutie rap
IDLY with hand corn-pIantar; that
they do not interfere with tie uitYa-
ton of the corn, and that they will do
fairly we'll in the rows. If the corn Ge
an early maturing variety and is
drawn off the land as cut, or soon al
terward, the peas will give a large
quantity of most excellent pasturaga
at a season when green food is apt
to he quite scarce. In case drought
cuts the corn short, as it did this sea-
son, the peas will still make fair
quantity of paSturage. Should chinch-
bugs destroy the corn the peas VII
quickly cover the ground and make II
large quantity of excellent hay or
pasturage and at the same time inn
prove the soil. If there are Indications
that chinch-bugs are going 10 be
abundant | think it would be a good
idea TO plant cow-peas in all the corn

to one hundred rows wide would COW

NOVEL WAY
Of Kidding Chardon of Thieves
A Terrible Deputy.

William MinYoung, the genial mixer
of mint julips ut George Marvin's, is
thinking seriously of going to Char
don, says the Chardon Record. VIII
liam was recently in Chardon as a wit,
ness in the bank robbery case. While
there he occupied the best room in
what he terms the best hotel in Ohio,
and always ate at the first table with
the landlords family. William is a
modest chap and seldoms says much,
but he is imposing, The town was
infested with thieves and thugs during
the trial, but when William pushed his
three hundred pounds around the'little
park in front of the court house the
ruffians all took to the hills. The
local officials noticed this and pressed
him into service as deputy sheriff to
help guard the town For three nights
he walked about the streets of Geau,
gas capital with lantern and a
bass drum, but not single crook
crossed his path.

Of Her Parents In Hudson
Township.

Mrs. H. e. Clucker, the wife of the
coachman who is said to be in the en-
ploy Of Mrs. Kirk d. Bishop, at the
latters farm In Kent, visited the latter
place Friday and returned to Cleve-
land yesterday, says the Leader. To-
morrow she will visit her old home
at Hudson, O., and from there will be
driven in carriage to Kent by her
brother. They will seek evidence to
be used in divorce proceedings against
Clucker, she said yesterday.
Mrs Bishop was formerly the wife
of Kirk d. Bishop, a well known bust
ness man of this city. The couple were
prominent in society but We're divorced,
the husband being ordered to pay his
former wife $3.50 per month alimony.
Last April Mrs. Bishop, it is said,
employed IL. e. Clucker as coachman
Clucker had been employed by the
United States Express Company as a
driver. According to Mrs. Cluckers
from that time on she never received a
cent of her husbands earnings, and
he seldom visited her. He never ate a
meal in her presence after this and
finally left her, she says, altogether.
Then came the announcement from
Kent, o., that Mrs. Bishop had pur-
chased farm near that place, and
proposed to make it a country place.
The land cost $4 400, but it was expect
ed that an additional $4,000 would
be expended ON the grounds and farm
house.
When Mrs. Clucker returned yester-
day to Cleveland she said: Il am told
that my husband has been seen several
times at Buffalo since the exposition
opened. My husband on each occasion
was dressed in the latest style and
seemed to be lavish with his money. 1
am told at Kent that Mrs. Bishop has
discharged several domestics and has
