GREAT MEN OF SCIENCE.

In recording the death of Francis Galton somewhat less than a year ago, it was noted here that of the great men of science who gave dis tinction to the Victorian era only three remained-Hooker, Wallace and Lister. Hooker has since died at the age of ninety-four years, and on February Il Lister died at the age of eighty-four years. An Eng fish journal recently compiled a list of the ten greatest men of the world, and Lister would perhaps have been the name on which there would have been the most general agreement. Like Galton and Hooker, Lister had distinguished scientific ancestry, his father having been a fellow of the Royal society, who, among many other services, gave us the existing compound microscope. - Popular Science Monthly.

NOT MANY REACH TOO YEARS
hea' Centenarians Are Few in Mum. Der, Despite Claims of Rela-
 lives, Say Authorities.

Centenarlans seem to be very much Tn evidence. Scarcely a week passes without the announcement of the death of some one who has reached. exceeded, or was on the border of five score years. It is claimed in various health statistics that with the increase of surgical skill and knowledge, and the more careful at- tention to hygienic matters, count less lives throughout the country are prolonged which a decade ago would inevitably have had to succumb; so the extension of this claim of the recent progress of the healing art to the very aged might possibly ac- count for the great number who are supposed to have now reached their hundredth year. The authenticity of the claims set up by the relations of so-called centenarians may. how ever, be doubted, and, in many in- stances, it would be almost impos- sible to adduce anything approach ing reasonable proof. The late Sir George Cornewall Lewis attempted to show that all reputed centenari- ans fell short of a hundred years. Many instances are recorded of per sons who have died between the ages of 137 and 1855, but there is little doubt that their span of life has been greatly exaggerated.

WOMAN CAUSE OF STRIKE.

Coal strikes have sometimes been threatened on curious grounds. In 1874 a woman was employed as a messenger at one of the collieries near Oswestry, England. As she commenced her days work very early, she often met the miners. on their way to the pit, and as the men considered it a bad omen to meet a woman first thing in the morning, trouble arose. By threats and per suasion they tried to get the offend ing female to give up her job, but, failing in this, they went in body to the manager and fatly refused to go down until the woman had been dismissed.

COOKING FISH OUT OF DOORS
Recipe Producing a Delicious Result Which Could Not Be Surpassed
 by Any Chef.

Clean the fish, but do not scale leave head, tail and fins intact, and put a small strip of bacon in each of them, Dig a hole large enough for the fish to lie in with several inches to spare. Build a fire in it and get a good, hot bed of coals. Rake out half of them, cover the remainder with an inch of grass, cover with more grass, and pile the rest of the hot coals on top. Cover the hole with frying pan or any other handy thing, as for instance a fat stone.
 In thirty minutes they will be cooked, and Delmonico himself could not make them taste better. They are partly fried and partly steamed by the juices of the grass the bacon fat has fried out and permeated the flesh; the grass juice adds a peculiar and exceeding ly pleasant flavor, and when taken from the hole the grass winch clings to the fish can be easily pulled off and all the scales and skin will come with it.-Edward G. W. Ferguson. in the Outing Magazine.

There was, however, one exception.
A young man did not seem to be en-
