"That is a difficult question, he replied. "I can only answer it by refer- ' ring to the occupations of persons whose j lives are and have been iniuied by us. In- | asmuch as they number several hundreds I of thousands thev will afford good basis from which to draw conclusions on 1 the subject. According to this evidence it appears that commercial travelers and agents live longer than men in any other kind of business, notwithstanding the hazards which attend transportation oy rail and water. Next to them come dentists, teachers and professors, including music teachers." "And who after them?" "Next to them in point of longevity are hatters, clergymen and missionaries. The last may occasionally furnish food for the larder of untutored, but they are a first rate risk nevertheless. Next come bankers and capitalists, who seem to live just a trifle longer than butchers and marketmen. Lawyers and jewelers follow, and they are succeeded on the list by merchants, peddlers, milkmen and pawn brokers. Then come gardeners, laborers, civil engineers and cauvassers. Perhaps the treatment which canvassers are apt to receive in the ordinary course [ of their business shortens their lives." \ "Where do newspaper men come inv ,40b, they don't live as long as any of the people I have mentioned. Even bookkeepers and bank cashiers, as well as artists and architects are ahead of them. They come in next, with the printers, physicians and gentlemen who are not engaged in any active employment. Then follow the apothecaries and photographers, and after tbeia in order bakers, cigar makers, real estate agents, army officers and soldiers, liquor dealers, mariners and naval officers. Shortest lived of all seem to be the auctioneers, boarding house keepers, barbers and drivers." "Do you take into consideration the question of a customer's occupation in granting a policy?" "Not unless it is more hazardous than BDy of those 1 have mentioned, though, if we were in doubt about accepting the man as a risk for otber reasons, such a point might turn the scale."?Washington Star. The Bluest of Balloons. James Glaisber states that the balloon constructtd in 1861 by Eugene Godard was the largest ever made. Its capacity was nearly half a million cubic feet. The air in this fire balloon was heated by an eighteen foot stove, weighing with the chimney, 980 pounds. This furnace was fed with straw, and the * 'car" consisted of a gallery surrounding it. Two ascents of this balloon were made from Cremorne Gardens, London, on Jaly 20th and July 28th. ISC4. The"Geant," Nadar'g colossal balloou. contained 215,363 cubit feet of gas, and raised thirty, five persons at one time, This balloon was also remarkable as having attached to it a regular two-story house for a car. Its ascent on Suuda^, the I8th of Octotober, 1863, was witnessed by nearly half a million of persons. * After passing over the eastern part of France, Belgium and Holland, the "Geant"' suffered a disastrous descent in Hanover on the dav after it started on its peril ous journey. In 1873, a balloon of 400,000 feet of cubic capacity was made to enable Mr. Wise to cross the Atlantic, but it uuiortuoately burst. The longest iistauce traveled in a balloon in the shortest time was 1150 in twenty hours, by Messrs. Wise-and LaMountain, the route taken being from St. Louis in the iirection of New York.?Yankee Blade. A Title for tlte President. The question, "What shall be the title of the President of the United States?'1 according to the St. Louis Qlobe-Democrat, was one which elicited no little discussion among the members of the irst Congress, and it is said that the in Iiuguration of Washington was delayed leveral days by consideration and debate lb to what should be his title. 4'His Sighness, the President of the United )t?tes of America and Protector of Their jiberties," was dwoussed and rejected. 'His Excellency"" "Jeasalsc proposed and klso rejected. After numerous suggesions, it was finally decided that the Jhief Executive Officer -should be oficially known as the ^Pnesidentof tho Jnited States."

PLYMOUTH ROCK. | F.EMINISCKXCKS OF THK EAIvLY F1LG KIMS. Where They First Set Foot in America ? Historical Spots and Memories oT the Stern and. Rock-Bound Coast. * l&k " j T was on one of New England's loveliest !jjjf early spring mornH ings, writes a San U Francisco Chronicle U correspondent, that H our little party set out J from South Hanson, and in less than half I an hour we were in | ,.the historic town of I!'Plymouth. The first thing to be seen after leaving the train was -*?" Miles Standish?I mean ?n electric car by that name. Doubtless if Governor Bradford and his 'partners in distress" could comeback to Plymouth and see that 'fbroomstick train" as it buzzes and splutter along, they would believe more firmly in witches than ever did Cotton Mather or the Salemites. We go at once to Pilgrim Hall, and there are brought face to face with the old days of 1650. The tables, chairs, iron pots and various belongings of the Pilcrims make them very real to us. Probably they weie prosaic enough to eat when they could get anything for that purpose. One is impressed with the fighting qualities of those earnest men. Sworda are plentiful, beginning with Miles Standish's "trusty sword of Damascus, curved at the point and inscribed with its mystical Arabic sentence," down to swords that are of no great renown. The old guns and the other implements of warfare showed that the Pilgrims did not confine their reading to the verse which says: "But whosoever shall smite thee on the right cheek turn to him the other also." Tuey must have compared Scripture with Scripture, and probaby saw the passage which says: "And he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one." Tbey were men who were determined to plant a colony, and they were of real fighting stock. They could praise God in their church on the hill with their governor bradfo! jtuds in easv reach, six cannon on the l roof and a vigilant sentinel ready to give the alarm on the first approach of danger. They believed that the way to have peace is to be prepared for war. In Pilgrim Hall one may 6ee the oldest State document in the United States, brought over in the Fortune in 1621. Until 1S83 it was not known to be in existence. There is also a commission issued by Oliver Cromwell in 1654. The signature was stolen in 1848 by some mean fellow, but the fac simile of the signature put over the torn corner is in a bold hand and worthy of the Lord Protector. One sees all 6orts of relics, some of which have but little to do with the , history of Plymouth colony. If you want a piece of Plymouth rock you can easily get it. The custodian of the hall has pieces that were chipped from the under side of the lock ' some years ago. A piece as big as your ; fist can be had for $10 and little bits , from five cents up, according to size. But we must see the rock itself. A ; -short walk brings us to that historic "hrkTwlrJor Tf in noflr rvmt4*r H?i7ir?rr . been raised from its original position. ' The rock has something of a roving dis-! position. Perhaps the pressing foet of the Pilgrims communicated in some mysterious way a spirit of peregrination. In 1834 a piece of the rock that was acci- . dentally split off in 1774 was moved to ; the ground in lront of Pilgrim Hall and there carefully guarded by an iron fenoe, ' but afterward was returned and cemented to its place, and there it now stands on Water street protected by a granite can - , opy, in the attic of which peacefully repose the bona of some of the Pilgrims who died during the first year and were puried on Cole's Hill. By the way, it was (juite in keeping with historic aeao ciutions that the rock should have shown '^Separatist" tendencies. 'Cole's Hill near the water is a spot of melancholy interest. Here it was that those who died during the first winter were buried, and in the spring their resting place was planted so that the Indians could not tell where the graves were aud would Dot know how the little company of brave spirits had been depleted. Not far away is the site of the first house in Plymouth, and the first street THE OLD rORT. B TRIAL HILL, 1G21. in New England. Leyden street, leads up to Burying Hill. One passes the site of Johu Aldeu's and Priscilla's first housekeeping experiences, and quickly comes to that sightly spot which is thickly covered with graves and is known as Burying Hill. Here are the graves of Carver and Bradford and others who came over in the Mayflower. Very quaint aie most of the slate slabs. The lettering is in some cues very crude, and the old^tyle spelling hau a lascinatjon for any one who has a particle of the antiquary in him. Here there is a fine view of the harbors o! Plymouth nud Duxbury, Captain's Hill, Cape Cod and Mahomet Hills. The Courthouse is nearby. There are to be seen some of the old legal papers of the Pilgrims. It is interesting to read the original document, which relates to the possession of a red heifer by Miles Standisb, Miles having bought out the /CvTT/N 1 BiiiiLmagaa< i CANOPY OVER PLYMOUTH ROCK. shares of other parties, afterward came into ownership of the entire animal. There is also a deed given by John Alden in his own handwriting. But more interesting still is the original charter of the colony which camt, over in 1629, together with the seal, a ponderous thing about three-quarters of an inch thick and about four inches in diameter, with the leather-covered box in which the precious document was sent. But there remains one sight which the miiot- r?At nmif- nchftfAVPr pJaa hfl fails to see, and that is the National monument to the Forefathers. It is on a commanding hill, from which one has a magnificent view of the harbor, embracing the strip of sand which serves as a break-water, the points of Saquish and the Gurnet, and Clark's Island, where the inflexible Pilgrims spent a bleak December Sabbath rather than desecrate the sacred day by explorations however rd's house, 1621. imperative the case might be. Here on this hill is the place of all places for the monument. It is easily accessible to the visitor, being but a short distance from the business part of the village. The monument is eighty-one feet high. ! The central figure, Faith, hold9 the j Bible in one hand and with the other I points upward. It is the largest granite statue in the world, being thirty-six feet ; high. It is an inspiration to look up . ,into that face with its expression of radi- ' ant hope. The hope of the Pilgrims is there without their tinge of stern sadness. The four sitting figures on the j .pedestals about the base splendidly re-' presentiLaw, Freedom, Education and' Morality. The bas-reliefs which adorn 1 MCTnCMBKT TO THE FOREFATHERS. ' the sides of^the pedestal are most exquisitely done. The whole country ought to be proud -of that monument. It commemorates a slender enterprise that was charged with a mighty -spirit. Why were the few weak and weary men and women who landed on the ioe-clad, rockbound coastof New England, in bleak December, not swept away and all theii plans and purposes brouffht.to naught by the successive calamities that rained upon them? The words of Edward Everett are applicable fcere. "leu me, 1111M1 ui uuuLaiiwum, ju how many month* were they all swept away by the thirty savage tribes of New England? Tell me, politician, how long did this shadow of a colony, oil which your conventions and treaties had not smiled, languish on the distant coast? Is it possible Chat from a beginniug so feeble, so frai.1, so worthy, not so much of admiration as of pity, there has gone forth a progress so steady, a growth so wonderlul, an expansion so ample, a reality so important, ? promise yet to bo fulfilled, so glorious?" ?? Cape of Good Hope (South Africa) fruit, particularly peaches, grapes and pears, have secured a good footing in the London market, and account sales show a handsome profit notwithstanding the high freight charges.

That evening we were all sitting on the veranda when Ben said: "Who i9 de daughters of the Revolution yo' talk so much aboutf" and we each gave our views of the question and explained it simply, so that he would understand.

In making railroad tunnels, cuts, etc.* and in linking wells and pits in Nevada, Utah, and Arizona, salt strata are often struck nt varying depths, sometimes as much as a hundred yards beneath the surlace. Huudreds of fish, well preserved, are found in blocks of this pure rock salt. These salt fields are supposed to occupy what was ooce the bottom of a lake thirty miles long, fifteen miles wide and many hundred feet deep. The fish found resemble the pike and pickerel speciw, and are wholly unlike the fish found in the lakes and rivers of that region at the present time. The specimens found are not petrified, but are as perfectly preserved in the flesh as though but recently frozen in a block of ice. When taken out and exposed to trie neat of the suo they become as hard as blocks of wood. Occasionally workmen at the salt works located in "the basin1' have attempted to eat thsse antediluvian relics. Men of learning who have investigated the matter say that these salt preserved fish are at least 10,000 years old.?St. Louis Republic. Talce Off Their Shoes.
