'•How Long llatr Ito the I" i It is not every one who asks himsel this question, because, strangely enough it is the belief of most persons that their lives will be exceptionally lengthy. 1 However, life assurance companies arc aware of lite credulous weaknesses of i those whose lives they assure, and have therefore cowpiloi numerous tables of expectancy oT life for thoirownguidar.ee, which are carefully referred to before a policy is granted.

All that Glitters Is Not Gold. One of the beauties and charms of an editor's life is in his deadheading it on all occasions. No one who has never tasted of the sweets of that biiss can be gin to lake in its glory and its happi-* ni'ss. He does SIOO worth of advertis ing for a railroad, gets a " pass " for a year, and rides s'!s worth; and then he is looked upon as a deadhead or a half-blown dead-beat. He " puff*" a concert troupe $ 10 worth and gets ? 1 in " eomplimentaries." and is thus passed " free." If the hall is crowded he is be grudged the rootu he occupies, for il his eomplimentaries were paying tickets the troupe would be so much in pocket. He blows and puffs a church festival free to any drain*! extent, and does the poster printing at half rates, and rarely gets a "that k you" for it. It goes in as a part of his duty as an ed itor.

Indies mu a luxurious lot from the following, in the Chronicle, of that p! ve: There wu a time when rich men" 4 ' wives and daugh tcrs in New York and other cities on the E:istejn frontier used to be richly dressed. This was during and immedi ately after the war. The other day a large consignment of the costly jewels worn by the New York social belles dur ing the times that were good came to ea dville to be sold. Such consign ments linve been common in the last few weeks. Through reverses in fortunes, the high-toned indie of New York are compelled to s"U. Through great and unexpected prosperity the ladies of I/tad ville think they must buy, and to har Mrs. So-and-So. or Mi*s . the daughter of one of the Kittie Kroekcr mine owners paying two or three thou sand dollar* for a pair of earrings or four thousand dollar* for a brace of bracelets, or two thousand for a finger ring, is nothing uncommon. One house in this city is now- wholly engaged in bringing to Leadville the most costly jewels that can be found in the Eastern markets, and during the season now at hand there will be ballroom scenes in Leadville that will dazzle. A Ilird's Eggs Magnetized. Mr. Latbrop, County Recorder of Lyon county, Nev., has in his office at Dayton a wren's nest, containing two eggs so ch irged with electricity that they act precisely as a magnet. If the open hlaaeof a knife be placed within half an inch of them, says a local paper, they will be attracted at once, and will ad here to the blade until removed. The eggs were charged with electricity by a telegraph wire passing throueh the tree which sheltered the next. They have beer, in the cabinet aliout two months, and are just as magnetic now as when he first got them. An offer of fifty dol lars has been refused for them. A new Australian delicacy is finding its way into the London markets in the shape of dried kangaroo tongues. The tails and skins of these animals have long been utilized—the former for mak ing soup, the latter for leather; and the recent enormous destruet : on of kangaroos has given considerable impetus to these two trades. Struck by the waste of food occasioned by the slaughter of so many thousands of these marsupials, whose bodies are frequently left where they have fallen, a Warroo settler made an experiment in curing the tongues of some of the slain, and so highly were they approved that a considerable trade has sprung up in this commodity. The tongues are usually cured by drying in moke, like the Russian reindeer tongues. A Musical Idiot.

He was intelligent, affectionate and firm. It wis his liabit to attend a company ot schoolgirls in their evening walk, and his demeanor on those occasions marked his pride as weil as his courtesy and dignity. One evening a gentleman met the admirable procession, and advanced with an animated -tcp to pay attention to a young lady with whom lie was in timately acquainted. Brutus had his eye u|>m him. and without displaying any rudeness whatever, quietly advanced himself, intercepted the young gentle man's hand as it vv a* gracefully put for ward and envelop* d it with lii* raou.h just .as it was aixtut to clasp the hand of the young lady. The teeth of Brutus were gently pressed upon the hand, but did not pierce or'tesr it The young gentleman gradually withdrew the hand which the faithful guaH had gently interrupted. He was so struck with the conduct of Brutus that he became his devoteJ friend, and ever aft-r honored the dog that so faithfully protected the lady he admired. — Rirhniond ( Fa.) Ihs patrh. How Carlyle Served a Visitor. Thomas Carlyle's power of checking undue forwardness are the theme of numerous anecdotes, tin* most character istic of which if the following, which is literally true: A presuming f'-!low, who h ul ben brought to dine with him by a common friend, began to speak slight ingly of his great hero. Hums, calling him " a much overrated man," etc. Car lyle made no comment, which embold ened the critic to continue in the same strain till dinner ended. When they rose to go to the drawing-room, tke host broke his grim silenee at last: " Is that your hat and stick in the corner, sir*" ; 'Yes." "Then you bad letter take them and begone at once." The crestfallen visitor obeyed, ami his introducer was about to follow, when "true Thomas" stopped him, saying that "he had done no wrong." This recalls the story of a worthy Quaker who attempted to dis arm a well-known " better tongue " by inviting him to dinner; but the back biter. whiie enjoying the good cheer, continued his abuse unabated. Theman of peace, after bearing it for a time, sud denly sprang upon his reviler, saving: " Friend. I have given thee a meat-offer ing and a drink-offering; and now," lie rnided,, lifting him through the open window into the street, " I will give tnee a Aeare-offering." The Hoomernng. Tliis curious weapon, peculiar to the native Australian, iia* often proved a puzzler to men of science. It is a piece of carved wood, nearly in the form of a crescent, from thirty to forty inches long, pointen at loth ends, and the cor ner quite sharp. The mode of using it is quite as singular as the weanon. Ask a black to throw it so as to fall at his feet, and awav it goes full forty yards before him. skitnm : ng along the surfaee at three or four feet from the ground, when it will suddenly rise in the air fifty or sixty feet, describing a curve and finally drop at the feet of t..< thrower. During its course it revolvoF with great rapidity, as on a pivot, with a whizzing noise. It is wonderful to barbarous a people should have in vented so singular a weapon, which sets laws of progression at defiance. It' very dangerous for a European to try lA, project it at any object, as it may return ana strike himself. In a native's hand it is a formidable weapon, striking with out the projector being seen; like the Irishman's gun. shooting round a corner equally as well as straightforward.— Scientific American.

Sauiantlia A hen's opinion_ upon the familiar moons, as expressed "in the (.'hi- j eago InUr-iKtat, is as follows: "Thomas is as determined as a rock shout one thing, that when he and Mag gie are married they ar. going to ki-ep house by themselves. I'he first yar* in married Hie is a precarious time, make the best of it; a Urcadlul. curious, strange, precarious time; and if ever a woman wants a free room lor meditnticn and prayer, it is then; and likewise the same with the man There never was two pel sons so near alike hut what they were different, and had their different ways and eccentricities. A Woman may think she knows a man just a* well a* it the had been through his head a num ber of times with a lantern; but let her come to live with liim from dry to day, from week to week, in sunshine and in storm: when dinner is r*-aily at noon and when it is lab'; when his boot-jack i* on the nail and win nit i* lost; when stove pines are up and when they are being put up. and in ail other trial* and re verse's of life. lull you she will come across little impatient, obstinate streaks in him she never laid eye's on before; little selfish, overbearing streaks And the same with her.

It mav not be so brilliant and dazzling a* the honeymoon, but its light'i* steady and calm, and mellow as anything, and it shines all the way down to the dark val ley. and throw* its pun' light clear across it to the other side. * * * Then, if tliey want to take a few in firm or even bed-ridden relations, on his side or on hers, let'em take 'ein in—it would be perfectly safe." A Chapter on Jans. The amount of advance which any tribe ha* attained may la* roughly esti mated by the extent to which jaws have decrtascd in size. Savage nations use their teeth much more than their civilized compeers. They feed on coarser and harder food, ill-cooked or not cooked a! all; tney nre compelled to masticate what they eat much more powerfully than is the cane with nations which live mainly upon ground wheaten bread, ladled rice or well-cooked flesh; they have no knives or forks to assist them in dissecting their meat, and they gnaw bones, cut tendons or crack nuts with their teeth alone. The are often compelled to live upon small and hard seeds, unhruised grain, thick-shelled in sects or crustaceans and other solid kinds of food. Moreover, all their food stuffs contain a large proportion of in nutritious matter, rejected by the higher processes of preparation (as, for exam ple, the bran in wheat), and hence they are obliged to eat much more matter to obtain an equal amount of nutriment. Lastly, they use their teeth t* a great extent as implements, where civi.ized people would employ a knife, cork screw, hammer, pincers or handmill. Through all these causes the jaws of the least advanced savages still retain their original large size, being only so far de creased as necessarily results from their disuse as netual weapons. On the other hand, civiiize i men have gone on mak ing their cookery or other means for pre paring food stand them more nnd more in the stead of mastication. They have learned to boil or roast meat; to extract the juices in soup, gravy and jelly; to dissect it with saws and carving knives. They have acquired the art of grinding and ladling flour, of baking bread, and of giving it lightness by yeast or leaven. They have rejected the coarserseeds and millets for tne cereals, pulses and pota toes. They have minimized the amount of innutritious matter mixed witli their food. And so they have given the jaw less and less work to do from generation to generation, antil at last its bones have become partially atrophied from disuse, and have assumed their present small dimensions. One of the distinguished pecu.iaritics of a good dinner, as civil ized people understand the term, is that it imposes little work upon the diner either in its mastication or its digestion. The soup is clear; the fish is delicate; the cutlets are tender; the chickens arc young and well-dressed: the pastry is light and melting; the jellies are smooth, ami the fruits and vegetables are soft and pulpy. Contrast such a dinner for a moment with a savage feast on half oooked flesh and parched grain, and we see at once the reason for this enormous difference in the caliber of the masticat ing apparatus.
