Bribery In Elections.

Bribery in elections is an ancient If
not an honorable custom. This is shown
In the case Of Shrewsbury, England.
An extract from Parry's "Parliaments
and Councils of England of case of
bribery, with it's punishment, in 1871
shows how long the psynicious custom
has been in practice: Thomas Long, "a
very simple man and unfit to serve. Is
questioned how he came to be elected.
He confesses that be gave the mayor
Of Westbury and another, "a for his
place. They are ordered to repay this
sum. and a fine of ego is to be assessed
on the corporation and inhabitants Of
Westbury for their scandalous at
tempt" One can imagine the indigna-
ton Of those inhabitants Of Shrews-
bury who received no bride having to
pay a fine for those who did.

INACTIVE OLD AGE.
More Coldaciv~ to Drcariness Than
TO Shortening Life.

TO Shortening Life.
There is far more evidence for the be-
lief in the GrearineSS of old age after
active work has been laid aside than
for the shortening of life which results
from the enforced inactivity. Two not
able Instances and perhaps freer from
doubt than most as to whether it is en-
nui alone that kills and not the disease
of old age or a more specific malady
are those of Napoleon the Great and
Bismarck. The one lived six years in
st. Helena, the other eight years at
Friedrichsruh, each ''eating out his
heart" If ever there were men who
ought on the supposition to have been
killed by the total suspension Of their
activities, these two ought to have
been. but it would be extremely difi-
cult to show that they were. Though
Napoleon was no moro than ffty-thrce.
yet it was the specific disease Of cancer
of the stomach Of which he died, and
the connection between his exiled lone
illness and the direct cause Of his death
does not seem very apparent. On the
other hand, Bismarck at the age Of
seventy five, when he was dismissed
from the chancellorship, could not have
had a likelihood of more prolonged
years than he actually achieved out Of
Office even If he had continued in office
until the end. A wise man If not too
dyspeptic will never lose touch with
actual life There are old men with
young hearts, and the elder when he
has a young heart is perhaps the most
delightful type humanity can show US

spatn,. Migratory Sheep.

There are about 100000 migratory
sheep IN Spain, which each year travel
as mach as 200 miles from the plains to
The mountains. They are known as
transhumantes, and their march, rest
ing places and behavior are governed
by special regulations, dating from the
fourteenth century. At certain times
no one may travel the same route as
the sheep. which have the right to
Craze on all open and common land on
the way. For this purpose road nine
ty yards wide must be left on all in
closed and private property. The shep-
herds lead their flocks, which follow
after and around The flocks are &C.
companied by provision mules and by
large dogs to guard against wolves.
The merino sheep travel 400 miles to
the mountains, and the total time spent
on the migration there and back Is
fourteen weeks.

The Moslem still slaps his hands at
