But he probably did it. Boys are
enterprising and persistent where a
circus is concerned. And we will
bet that Methuselah, in his youthful
days, could accumulate as much old
iron as the next boy. aad lay it by

When this youngster got into bis
teens, say from 200 to 300 years old,
he probably did as other young gen-
tlemen or tender age do went round
with the girls.
It must have been a little embar
rassing to him, after beauing a young
lady a while, taking her to concerts,
parties, balls, etc., to discover that
she was a great-great-great great-great-grandchild
of some old friend
of bis father's, but these thinge were
inevitablaunder the peculiar and ex

any woman lived in his time to an

Employing a proportion of 21 to

that he was a minor nntil he was
270 years old. If the laws regard

temper ml I ho Horse.
It is recommended that in purchas
ing a borse it should be borne in
mind that there is a direct relation
between the horse's forehead and its
disposition and qualities. The face
must be very broad between the
eyes, but it should taper a little as it
approaches tbe ears. If the breadth
is carried all the way upwards, the
top of the head will be too wide, tbe
ears ill set and tbe horse probably
salky. -As in the human being, so is
the horse, a great deal of tbe expres
sion of the countenance depends on
the eye. It is a most marvelous in
dex to the working of tbe mind with
in. A glance at it will often reveal
the benevolent feeling, the sulky dis
position, or the vicious propensity
that is about to manifest itself. The
reason of all this must be most obvi
ous, when we remember that it is in
direct communication with tbe brain
the material instrument through
which tbe mind operates. Tbe eye of
tbe horse should be kindly, strong,
bold and fiery, yet gentle-looking. It
should not show mnch white, as that
often indicates a vicious disposition.
A horse looking back so far as to ex
pose tbe white of his eye is generally
on the alert for mischief, and is not
to be trusted with his heels. The
eye gives a strong indication both
ot the temper and temperament of
the animal; and it is easy to judge
from it whether activity or sluggish
ness prevails most
Cloves are unopened flowers of a
email evergreen tree, that resembles
in appearance the laurel of the bay.
It ia a native of tbe Molucca or Spice
Islands, but has been carried to all
the warmer parts of the world, and
is largely cultivated in tbe tropical
regions of America. The flowers are
mall in size and grow in large num
bers in clusters at tbe very end of the
branches. The cloves wejuse are the
flowers gathered before they are
opened and whilst they are still
green. After being gathered they
re smoked by a wood fire and then

two parts; a round head, which is
the tour petals or leaves of the flow
ers rolled up, inclosing a number of
stocks and filaments. The otber
part of tbe clove is terminated with

All these parts may be distinctly
shown if a few leaves are soaked a
short time in hot water, when the
leaves soften and readily unroll.

A l'll Jaka.
A young man of eighteen or twen
ty, a student in a university, took a
Valk one day with a professor who
was commonly called tbe student
friend, such was his kindness to the
young men whom it was his office to
instruct
While they were now walking to
gether, and the professor was seeking
to lead tbe conversation to grave sub
jects, they saw a pair of old shoes ly
ing in the path, which they supposea
to belong to poor man who bad
nearly finished his day's work.
The young student turned to tne
professor, saying, 'Let us play the
man a trick. e will bide Lis snoes
and conceal ourselves behind these
bushes, and watch to see his perplex
ity when be cannot find tbem.
Mr dear mend, answered tne pro
fessor, 'we must never amuse our
selves at the expense of the poor.
But you are rich, and may give your
self a much greater pleasure by
means of this poor man. Put a crown
piece, if vou have tbem, in each shoe
and then we win bide bebind tnese
bushes.'
The student, luckily having two
crown pieces, did so, and then placed
himself, with tbe professor, bebind
the bushes bard by, through which
they could easily watch the laborer,
and see whatever wonder or joy be
raieht express.
Ihe poor man soon bnisbed biB
work and came across the field to the
path where he left his coat and shoes.
hile he put on bis coat be supped
one foot into one of tbe shoes. Feel
ing something hard, he stooped down
and found the crown. Astonishment
and wonder were upon his counten
ance. He gazed upon the crown,
turned it round, and looked again
and again ; then he looked round on
all sices, but could see no one. ISow
he put the money in his pocket and
proceeded to put on the other shoe ;
but what was bis astonishment wben
he fuued the other crown ? His feel
ings overcame him. He fell upon
his knees, looked up to heaven, and
uttered a loud and fervent thanksgiv
ing, in which he spoke of his wife,
sick and helpless, and his children
who by some unknown band would
be f-aved from perishing.
The young man stood there, deep
ly affected, and with tears in his
eyes.
" 'Now,' said the professor, 'are you
not better pleased than if you had
played your iulended trick V
'Oh 1 dear sir,' answered the youth,
'you have taught me a lesson that 1
will never forget I feel now the
truth of tbe words which I never be
fore understood : 'It is more blessed
to give than receive.'
I'oalal Card Trouble".
Postal cards give rise to peculiar
troubles. A Rochester lumber deal
er mailed a card to a discharged
clerk, accusing him of swindling, and
the clerk has obtained a verdict of
$150 damages, based on tbe public
uy of tbe charge wbile passing
through the mails. A similar case
is on trial in Pittsburg, tbe plaintiff
bein? a sewing machine agent, to
whom bis employer addressed an ac
cusation cf improperly retaining
money. An Omaha clergyman pub
litshes a card, complaining that be
frequently receives advertisements of
wine printed on postal cards, and, as
be is a total abstainer from strong
drink, the impression might be wrong

the wine. A Boston landlady sends
bills on postal cards to former board
ere, accompanied by urgent requests
for payment One of tbe recipients
began a suit against her for libel,
but withdrew it, bis lawyers advis

was a simple reqaest to pay a just

Kansas city girl jilted her lover, and

Dr. Dio Lewis says:
A quarter of tbe adults in New
England die of tbis one malady.
There are several hundred diseases,
but this one kills a quarter of us.
Very little is really known of con
sumption, and many singular errors
have been obtained.
1st error. It is generally supposed
to be a disease of the lungs.
2. That the way to treat i;, is to
doctor the lungs themselves.
3. Tbat a cold is generally tbe
starting point of tbis malady.
4. That a warm climate favors a
cure.
5. That beef, cod liver oil, and
whisky are good.
0. That drugs are useful.
Tbe facts are these. Consumption
is a disease of tbe system and may
be detected in the skin, eye, secre
tions and in scores of ways, long be
fore it is located in the lungs. Tbe
taint prevading the system, gener
ally for months or years, is at length
developed in tbe lungs by whatever
exhausts tbe general vitality, a, for
example, fever, a corroding grief, bad
diet, late hours, bad veotilation, liv
ing in the shade, or otber depressing
influence.
The core is to be found in a coU,
bracing climate, exercise in the open
air, vigorous friction of the skin, a
very plain, nutritious, nnstimulating
diet, with cold water for drink, plen
ty of sunshine, sleep, and a hopeful,
brave temper.
Witb such treatment and aa utter
abandonment of drugs, whisky, cod
liver oil. and other kindred barbae
isms, one-half of all wbo die of son
sumption would live on, and many
with large ulcers in their lungs would
recover.

"It isn't necessary. ben I tell

Yes, ordinarily ; but here's this

eat and drink as mnch as I could, in
the hope of becoming strong. All

with eating just as much as I could
digest,, and no more. Of course it
took time and experience to discover
the precise limits ; I could not adopt
the golden role of always leaving off
with an appetite, because I never
began witb one, but by persistently
erring on the right side, 1 got bold
of one of tbe greatest secrets of life
tho secret of knowing when one
has enough, and after a year or two
I became so much better that I used
to find myself ready to eat a meal at
any time, and actually acquired an
appetite. Then once found, I never
destroyed it, but always determin
edly rose with the feeling that I
could eat more. Natural! v tempta
tion grows strongest, but I was firm.
I did not behave ungratefully to my
stomach and immediately presume
upon its increased powers by over
loading it. I did not live to eat, but
only ate to live ; and behold me ! I
have no need to be very particular
as to what I eat, even at my time of
life ; I have only to be careful not to
eat too much.
Here, indeed is the greatest secret
of a great deal that is amiss with
many of u;i. We are in tbe habit of
eating toe mocb, more than onr di
gestive organs can tackle, aud tbat
which is not assimilated, more or less
poison. The system becomes over
charged, and gives anv latent ten
dency of disease within ns, every fa
cility for developing itself. The
question is not so much what to eat
as what quantity to eat, aud nothing
but a sharp lookout kept by ourselves
can give us an answer. linsley s

Testlaa- Ike Cider.
Yesterday atternoon a farmer, hav
ing a barrel of cider on tan in his
wagon, was doing a fine retail bust
ness near tne market at nve cents a
glass, when a man witb a very tbin
voice and very old clothes Boftly ad
vanced and said :
"Has the State Inspector of Pomo-
logical Juices inspected tbat cider
yet?"
"I I guess nt," replied the far
mer.
"I thought not," continued the
thin-voiced man ; Wt II, fair, you can
draw me a full glass."
Tbe farmer drew one, scanning tbe
man wiih cansiderable anxiety, and
wben tbe Inspector bad received it
he held It up between bis eye and
the sun, and said :
"the precipitation appears most
too rapid, wbiie these boating parti
cles denote unusual compression
Perhaps a second glass will be clear
er."
He swallowed the coutents of the
first at exactly four gulps, and taking
a second glass, be critically examin
ed it and said :
"Ab ! tbe precipitation is clearing
away. Tbis cider seems to have
been made from apples."
"it was, sir, and trey were nice
apples, too."
"Let's see bow a third glass will
look. I am not quite satisfied on
the point of compression'
He drained tbe t-econd and receiv
ed the third, and as be sipped it he
inquired :
"xou used a band cider press,
d.dn't you 1"
"Yes, sir."
"Ab ! I thought so. Worked with
a lever, didn't it V'
"Yes, sir."
"Did tbe mill stand in a draught
of air while you were making the ci
der?" "I I don't know, sir."
"Well, I tbink it did. Be a little
more careful after tbis. The Inspec
tor of Pomological Juices grades tbis
barrel A No. 2, but if you take a lit
tle more pains you can increase tbe
grade every time in the future. All
right, sir go on . with your retail
selling."
The man bad buou guue ten min
utes before any one mustered cour
age to remark to tbe farmer that be
was a fraud.
"I know he's all right, persisted
the farmer. "The minnit I see bim
draw his coat te'l around to wipe
the corner of his mouth I knew he
was a big gun, and I was just shiv
ering in my boots fur fear be'd ask
me why I didn't punch the seeds out
of the apples before grinding."

A hard old customer was Badge.
He was never known to attend
church, and was considered tbe wick
edest man ia the small town in which
he lived.
Oe night his old ow wai prowl
ing about the house seeking wbatshe
might devour and stuck htr head in
to tto swill barrel.
At tbe tioio the barrel was so far
in that sLe made a blind rub to free
herself from tbe incumbrance. As
luck would have it; she e truck a bee
line for tbe hou.se, aud dine ly for the
front door.

tel ing his family all about a murder
trial, when thecow gave a frightful
bellow, which was prA mged by the
empty barrel it. to a roar.
At tbe same time the front door
crashed from its hiDges, and the cow,
witb ber uncommon bead gear, buhed
into tbe room.

Malarial Disease.
The death of Henry Armitt Brown
from typhoid fever ha called the at
tention of Philadelphians to the
working of tbe sewerage system of
that city. It appears that months
ago Dr. Gross and other eminent
physicians, reported the whole sys
tem as defective, declaring that ow
ing to the absence of traps the es
cape of sewer gas into the houses
was incessant It was proposed, we
believe, as a first step toward reform,
to send a committee to investigate
the drainage of European Cities, but
tbe City Fathers, suspecting an in
tended holiday at their expense, with
held tbe supplies. Now tbat a pop
ular man has fallen a victim to the dis
ease, they are bestirring themselves
again to look into the cause. Phil
adelphians, however, like all other
Americans, will probably bo more
energetic in the work of cure than
of prevention.
1c the early fall season, when ma
laria of every kind gains ground
most rapidly. The decomposition of
vegetable matter in tbe fall begets
intermittent fevers, and tbe golden
mists of September, beloved of poets
and painters, are in fact but heavy
fogs from the lowlands, which com
press the atmosphere and make it a
more solid vehicle to transmit con
tagion. Typhoid, as all our readers
ought to know, is conveyed by ani
mal poison. A single case, unless
the closets, drains, etc., are thorough
ly disinfected, is enough to poison a
whole neighborhood. Tbis fever
has prevailed as an epidemic this
summer in tbe city of Bristol, Eng
land. Search was made for the
cause, and it bas been discovered tbat
a lady of Clifton, wbile convalescent
of typhoid, was ordered to the coun
try; she found board with a dairy
farmer near Bristol ; tbe well from
which water was taken to clean the
milk vessels (and, perhaps, to water
the milk,) was but a few feat from
the closet drain. Typhoid appeared
in nearly every family to which tbe
milk was sold. We instance this
case to show bow subtle are the
means of contagion, yet how easy
the prevention. Americans are just
beginning to grasp the matter of dis
ease in a practical way. In Eogland,
wben a case of virulent fever occurs.
the family, no matter how high their
social position, are obliged to submit
their premises to a thorough official
process of disinfection ; the patient is
isolated, and tbe disease checked. In
Scotland, when a case of typhoid fe
ver is reported, the house in which
it has occurred is closed peremptori
ly, and tbe owner is not permitted to
occupy or rent it until the cause of
the disease baa been discovered and
the disinfection is officially pronounc
ed complete. But wbo would dare
order a freeborn American out of bis
bouse, even to prevent the poisoning
of a whole community.
Iz default of any official means of
prevention, we recommend our read
ers before returning from the coun
try to look well to the drainage of
their houses in town. Speud enough
money on traps, waste-pipes, etc., if
your floors go bare and you dine on
potatoes and milk for tbe rest of tbe
year. And in a case of typhoid or
other fever occurs, have no scruples
of false pride or feeling about submit
ting the patient to a proper isolation
and disinfection for tbe good of oth
ers. J here was divine as well as
buman wisdom in tbe Jewish law
which put tbe unclean person with
out the camp. It is misfortune
enough to be ill, without becoming
an instrnment of death to others
