Centenarians are fairly common
nowadays, but it may be questioned
whether any country can boast of so
many as Celon, which. according to
the recent census returns, has no few

of age. SeVenty-one of these are males
and seventy-four females. OF these

claimed to be exactly 100, while tho
highest age returned was 120.

The Cult of the Sea.

The worship of the sea appears to be
pretty general throughout Melanesia.
In some Of the Fiji islands, for exam
pie, the natives attempt to propitiate
the sea by building small house in a
retired spot near it, in which they set
out a table with ready cooked yams
and painted cocoanuts. They then
drum with short bamboos morning and
evening for several successive weeks in
order to summon the luve-ni-wai, or
children of the waters, to the feast
thus provided.
They build a jetty to facilitate the
ascent of the sea spirits from the water
to the house and plant flags at certain
points to prevent them from wandering
inland Finally, the worshipers call
and whistle to the deities to encourage
them to enter. and, when they imagine
this has been done. they eat the feast
themselves.
The inhabitants of the Banks islands
also pray to a being named Qat. who
either controls or represents the sea. as
he is invoked thus: Smooth the sea
that l may go safely. Beat down the
crests of the tiderip. Beat it down
level that l may come to quiet land

Painted the President's Horse.

District Attorney Jerome has a
bachelor brother-Larry Jerome. This
brother started his eccentric career
while still at Princeton by an undue
love of art. Robert Bonner had given
President McCOsh of Princeton a
magnificent snow-white horse Of
which the old president was inordi-
nately proud.
One day, as the president was about
to drive on a hurry call to Trenton,
his hostler failed to bring the white
steed to the door on time. Going to
the stable to investigate, the presi'
dent found that young Jerome had
painted the horse a vivid and patriot
&c red, white and blue. Then he had
permitted the old glorious horse to roll
in the grass, adding a Galway green
to the general effect. AS the president
had no circus to advertise, he missed
his drives for the next month. New

The Man Who Dared.

Sir Stratford Canning, one time Brit
ish ambassador 10 Turkey, was man
of great distinction, but of a peculiarly
naughty spirit and fierce temper which
no man, even when he was thrice
armed" with a just quarrel, cared to
provoke. Few natives ventured to
stand up to Sir Stratford, but occa-
sionally he met his match, once in
Ahmed Vefyk Effendi. The episode is
recorded in the autobiography of Sir
A. Henry Layard.
Ahmed was dining at the embassy
one evening when conversation turned
upon the imprisonment by the Turkish
police at Galata of some British sub
ject, rascally Ionian or Maltese, who
had been seized in the act of commit
ting some crime that richly deserved
punishment.
Ahmed attempted to justify the con-
duct of the Turkish authorities. Sir
Stratford maintained that they had
violated the capitulations by appre-
hending a British subject without go
ing through the required formalities,
which, it may be observed, usually en-
abled the criminal to effect his escape
The dispute waxed warm, and the
expression on the countenance Of the
ambassador announced an approaching
storm. Suddenly striking the table with
his fist, he exclaimed: "And suppOsing
I went down myself to Galata with a
kavass to effect the release Of the pris-
oner What would your authorities
venture to do?"
"Why," replied Ahmed, with imper-
turbabe calm, ''they would probably
put you and your kavass in the prison
to join him, and they would only be
doing their duty"
