LENGTH OF DAYS. Five Handred Years Old—Is Living a Lost Art? Is life worth living? In the days of long ago people seemed to think it was, if the length of time they devoted to becoming acquainted with its lights and shadows 1s any eri- terion, : It would seem as though life must have affordéd much of enjoyment in the good old days, Sophocles hung on until he was 130 years old, then per- ished by an accident. Attila was 124 when he died of the consequence of a revel on the night of his second mar- riage, This is a warning to young men, Epemenwdes was 157 at his re- gretted decease, Crowns did not sit heavily on the brows of monarchs as they seem lat- terly to do. Fob, the founder of the Chinese Empire, reigned 115 years, and 80 did Apaphus of The es Egvptian, Tacitus gives 175 years to Tuisco, a German prince, Daddon, an [llyrian aoble, lived for 500 years according to Alexander Cornelius. The art of living seems to be one of the many ‘lost arts,” which the dark ages covered over, and modern civiliza- tion has not yet been able to uncover, It is certain long life was not secured by usiog mineral poisons as remedies for disease. That is essentially modern practice. Tbe ancients doubtless drew on the laboratory of nature for their medicines, hence the span of their lives was naturally extended, We know that our immediate ances- tors found their medicines in the fields and forests, adjoining their log cabin homes, These natural remedies were © eflicacious and harmless—Ileft no poison in the system. Ihysicians were rarely called in, and the peeple lived to rugged and hearty old age. Is it not worth edles, and their name character. They include a ‘‘Sarsapa- rilla,”” “Hops and Buchu Remedy,” **Cough aad Covsumption Remedy,” Extract for External and Intemmal use, “Rose Cream,” for Catarrh, ‘*Scalpine’ for the hair, *‘Liver Pills"? and “Porous Plaster.” They are care- fully compounded from actual recipes, the most efficacious in grandparents, and those whe would like to try the virtues of old-time rem- edies, have an opportunity te secure the best in “Warner's Log Cabiz Rem- edies.” FARM NOTES, AN adwecate of mutton sheep says that if the farmers of America could and be sure to have them omly of the good meat of a paying quality to the time produce a greater variety of de- sirable woels, As it is, he thinks they are carrying too many eggs in one basket, supplying little, if any, desira- ble meat, and vastly too muck of one varnety of wool, the result of which is wool-raisiag 18 unprofitable to the RvVerage farmer, There is an excellent prospect for the men who will confine their efforts to small flocks und make the most of them, WHEN keeping honey in a warm room, as it should be kept; It is often larvae of the wax moth which way chance to bateh out on the comb. Put the brimstone under the boney, which ehould stand at least two feet from Lhe floer. Put a piece of tin or sheet iron under the honey te prevent the honey or house catching fire. After lighting the brimstone, shut the doors and leave twenty-four bours or so. Treat you wish a nice article. Do not use too much brimstone. A little experience will determine the proper amount to use in connection with the size of your room. By treating honey thus it can be kept in splendid condition for years, IT bas been usual to state, in a general sort of way, that the red currant bas been cultivated *‘since the time of Julius Cesar.” Dr. Sturtevant, of the Agricultural Station at Geneva, New York, in a recently published history of the currant, says it was not cultiva- ted till the close of the sixteenth century. WHERE the grape vines have been trained on high frames for arbors they are less subject to rot as compared with those vines thut have been trained close totheground. The grapes that escaped the rot were those growing near the top of the arbor. This indicates that the nearer the grapes are to the ground the nearer they are to the spores, an l that a free circulation of air 1s a partial preventive.
