Curious Story About a Hawk.
A curious Inoldont occurred n few
days sinoo a short distance from
timoro, a looal paper says : One of
our woll known merchants hod gone
out on a visit to a friend, at whose
bouse thero was a bright lilllo boy,
and one day, to ploase tho child, be
manulactured a very large kilo, ana
as the wind was strong enough, tbe
kito was rsisod at once. After it bad
gono np nearly ball a nnlo, a large
crowd of country people oolloctod to
admire it, as such a magnificent toy
bad nover boon soon in that soction
before. Whilo ths spectators wore
admiring it, a vory large hawk was
seon to fly slowly oat of a neighbor
ing grove and go directly toward the
kilo. . Tbo bawk approuohod within a
fow foot of tho strange looking objoct,
and then circled about under it for
E
crliBDS flvo minutos. when he flew
usl above it and again cirolod around
soveral timos. suddenly be hover
ed diroctly ovor the kilo, and after
looking at it intonliy lor a abort time.
darted downward, and striking tho
paper, passed directly through tho
kite, coming out on , the other aide.
After this slrango oxperionoo, which
no doubt puzzled the hawk vastly, ho
flow off a short distance for rcflootion,
but still kooping the kito in view.
Not boing disposed to nivo it up so,
ho quickly relumed to tho ohargo, and
this time fastened on tho long string
of rags that word used as a tail to tho
kito, which he tors and scattered in
the air in a savage manner. Finding,
however; no resistance on ths part of
ths kite, bo boosmd disgusted or scared
and flew away toward tho woods
wbonoe beoame. , The gentleman says
that whonever IbVbkvk made an at
tack be would retreat a little, as if be
expected the strsngo bin) Was going
to return the assault. ..

How Smikes Stopped Chewing Tobacco.
' Smikes made up his mind to slop
ohowing. lie nover was muob of a
ohewer, nnyhow, he said. He hadn't
toed tobaoco but a few yoars, and
rnroly oonstimcd more than an ounce
sapor in a day. - But be feared the
habit might got hold of bim and be
soms fixed, and if there was anything
(hat ha abhorred it was to seo a man
become a slats to a bad hubit. Jle
bad used lbs weed some, to bs sure,
but there bad never been a timo dur
ing the loot ton years whon be could
not slop at any moniont. But oolong
se ba-jtiU .jaot iMMKiinei -bablloaled to
its tiso bo did not care to slop. He
could break off at any minute, and it
was a great satisfaction to fool so
Thomson, be thought, was an abject
slave to his pipo. lie pitied Thomson,
for he bad seen Thomson try to stop
smoking several times, and fail igno
minioasly ovory timo be undertook it.
But Smikes wantod to show his wife
how easy bo could quit. ;
. So Monday morning bo remarked
carelessly loSamantba that ho guessed
he would stop using tobacco. Saman
tba said she was glad of it, and added
impetuously, what she bad nover said
before, that it was a vile babit. Smikes
appeared a liltlo nervoua and confused
when Samanlha said this, and mum
bled oat something about being glad
he bad never got into it himself. In
bis agitation be pulled out bis tobacco
box and was just about to tako a chew
whon he reoollocted himself and
plunged out of tbe front door, forgol
tingbis umbrella. About half way to
the office ho mot Jonos, with whom
ho was having some business transac
tions. : Wbilo they were talking tbe
thing over, Smikes got a little enthusi
astic and he almost" roacbed tbe ollloe
before be notioed that be wasrollingan
uncommonly-plump quid around bis
mould like a sweet morsel. How it
got there Smikes did not know. Ho
puzzled over that little thing all the
rest of the forenoon, and at last he
took it out of his mouth and throw it

The Brides of Venioe.
As yean rolled on, tho continuance
ot poace gave tbe Venitions ampl
scopo lor the encouragamont and pro
motion of ths industrial arts. The!
commorcial relations with other ooun
trios were rapidly developed. Every
manufacture was formed into a guild.
tho diroctors of which framed laws for
tho observance of tbe handicraftsmen
Thus, among the glass-workers thero
wcro bottlo-raukors, boad-makers, ar
tist in color, producers of window-glass
nnd ornamental glass-workers. One
branch was totally distinct from all
others, and tho utmost rivalry exisud
among the men working in the sover
al departments. Tho promotion ofl
these guilds and thoir annual proces
sions fostered that lovo for public
pageants and ceromoninls which dis
tinguished the Venotinns above all
other nations. At a very early timo
ccrtuin erontB, which in other coun
tries were observed In private, wore
ooiuDratoa at Venice in public, with
all tbe splendid surroundings tbe tnste
and wealth of the nation wore able to
produce. On tbe first of February
each year tbe republic gave dowries
to twelve maidons upon tbeir mar-
riago, and that day became the moBt
highly lavorod tor marriage among
the youlhful Venetians. In 932, on
tne nppoimea uay, wuon the gay and
nappy congregation OI lovers wilb
their friends were assembled nt St
Mark's, in tbo presence of tbo doge.
Csndiano II, and the chief rulers of
tho Slate, .tlio marriago servico was
ruaoiy interrupted by a violent knock
ing at the cathedral door. In a few
moments, before tho mystory could bo
soivea, tue aoors wore broken open
aim a targe uana oi men entered
armed to the teotb, - whose faoes,
buinisneu irom exposure to tbo aun

of Istria. The pirate swinging swords
or axes in tbeir bands, advanced np
tho church, while the terrified people
shrank awny from thorn. Tbcv seized
tbe marriago dowries of tho brides.
and then tbe torrifiod ' maidons wcro
rudely laid bold of and dragged from
the embrace ot lovers and fnouda.
Tho air wu filled with the oaths of
tbe piratos, the cnos of tho terrified
maidens, and the execration of tho
young men. Opposition to mon armed
like tboso sea-rovers by those who
were unarmed was out of the ouoetion:

How Occupation Affects Longevity,
It Is not geneaally known, perhaps,
as yet, that with the spread of civiliz
ation and culture, tha averago life of
man is lengthening, but sucb is thoi
case, sb Is conclusively provod by re
cords which have been kept for con.
furies in Buocosaion in numerous places..
Even now tho remarkably old persons
are supposed lo bolong to the less cul
tivated classes, as, for Instance, Goo
Washington's nurses and ths like. '
But much of this rumored antiquity is.
probably duo lo an ignorncco of tbo
dulo of birth, as complete as tboir ig.
noraoce of most other subjects. Care
fully compiled statistics show that
while, of courso, ths patriarchal Ion;
govity of Biblical days Is out of reach,
slill tho averago man of to-day, wilu
out emulating Mulhusaluh, modestly',
slier our modern fashion, lives longer
than tho averago man of any of tho
past centuries of our civilization ir
which vital sslmlics have boon kept.
.Dividing occupations into, the six
very general beads of agriculture,
manufacturing, professional, commer
cial, aca-furing and military, a rocont
work ' on longevity gives an approxi
mate idea of the length of theavorngo
lifo in each of theso callings, Thtj
farmer, it seems, lives tho longost of
them all. In I lie first place, witb less
care health is easily preserved
in the ouantry Immm set the city, owing
lo the greater purity of the air and
freedom of individual action, and
again, tho work of the farmer is such
as to develop a Lcallhy physical con
dition. Under those circumstances it
is suid tho farmers bavo the longost lifo
of any cluss of man. A recent Mas
sachusetts report shows that the av
erago life of 1,000 farmers was 0i
years, being 15ycars longer tbun that
of professional mon, and 25 years
longer than that of tbe same numbor
of merchants. , Yet it must be re
membered that, in spite of the appar
ent advantages of ihe farmer's lile, our
records from year to ycur show that
far more pauper insuuity is found witlf
them tbnn any other clues. This may
be duo lo tboir moro genoral poverty
and inability to provide for the heed
less, or it may i,ot.
The manufacturing classes, shut up
in closo shops with dust and other im
purities in tho air, and beginning work
iu theso plucos very young as appren
tices, live but a comparatively short
lime. Out-door labor, wbon it does
not involve loo much exposure lo bad
weather, is ulways moro conducive lo
health than work in shops, although
in many cases this is the fault of the
employers, who, at slight oxpense,
could often increase the health and soj
the usefulness of their employes, by
consulting some of the simplest laws
of ventilation. Working in con
alrained posilions,as dressmakers, tai
lors, shoemakers and others do, cuts
down tho avorago length of lifq among
mom saaiy. jjiucKsmillis are very
