Science and old Age.

From Studies in Human Nature" by
Prof. Ellie Metchnikoff. Putnam's.
From twenty to fifty a man should
live for himself and his family; from
fifty to one hundred for science and
humanity, and after hundred for the
state. Honored, useful, in full posses
sion of all his faculties at six-score
years and ten, the graybeard of the
approaching future will be among the
most enviable of mankind. For the fear
of death is an alteration.
The fact is that only one man in a
million at present dies a natural death.
We should live till one hundred and
forty years of age. A man who expires
at seventy or eighty is the victim of
accident, cut off in the flower of his
days, and he unconsciously resents be-
ing deprived of the fifty years or so
which nature owes him. Leave him
little longer and in due time he will
desire to die, as q child at dusk de-
sires to sleep. The sandman will pass
All our instincts drop from us one
milk; the idea of such an ailment is
repugnant to the adult. The desire for
sweets, for play, for love and love-
making, for long walks and adven-
lures are all impulses that have their
day and pass. And the wish to live Is
an instinct which fails also with sa-
tiety. Only at present none of US i've

THE FISHER MARTEN.

Clever Little Animal which De-
serves to BE Better known.
According to Golfers Weekly, the
fisher marten deserves to be much bet
ter known than he generally is, if only
on account of his own good opinion of
himself, his wonderful cunning and
shreWd intelligence.
One of the largest and handsomest
of the martens. he has also ogility,
strength and endurance for any two
of his kind put together. Measuring
about three feet in length. with a slim,
vigorous body the fisher will travel
enormous distances in a single night,
bounding lightly up into the air, with
his nose turned up in order to catch
every little Whit of scent, outwitting
other animals and the cleverest trap
pers, and making himself at home
wherever he happens to find himself.
He generally chooses as his hunting
grounds the thickly covered hills and
ridges where the hemlock and spruce
grow in abundance, but he is as much
at home on the tree tops as on the
ground and can sleep as soundly in
low hollow of a tree as on a branch
of a fir tree. where he will lie stretch
ed out in the sunshine like any old
cat.
AS for fear, he does not know what
it is He win not only face but actu-
ally kill a Canadian porcupine, and
does not even appear to mind the
quilts which penetrate his body. He is
not particularly fond of meeting an
old bear with cubs. but is generally
clever enough to steal her cubs when
she goes off on some little expedition
of her own, while instances have been
related of the fishers in the Rocky
Mountains even killing young grizzlies.
AS for man. he appears to laugh at
him, and his designs for trapping wild
animals. He will pull marten trap
open and take out the bait, whether
alive or dead: he will tear pine mar
ten or mink to pieces in no time and
carry ii off, or drag the trap over some
rough projection in order to spring it,
and make off more often than not
without having received so much as a
scratch.
But perhaps his cleverest trip is.
when he finds a trapper is following his
trail, to go behind the trapper and
follow his so that while the uncon-
scious trapper is walking after the fish
er the fisher is keeping completely out
of danger by following the trapper.
