In asmuch a they number several hundreds of thousands they will allord good basis from which to draw conclusions on tho subject. According to this evidence It appears that commercial travelers and figrnts live longer than tnon in any other kind of business, notwithstanding the batards which attend transportation by rail and rvatcr. Next to them como dentists, tenchers and professors, includ ing music tcnclicnt." "And who after them!" "Next to them in point of longevity ro 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 trillo longer than butchers and marketmen. Lawyers and jcwclert fol low, and thry are succeeded on the list by merchauts, peddlers, milkmen and pawn brokers. Then come gardeners, laborers, civil engineers and canvassers. Perhaps tho treatment which canvassers are apt to receivo in the ordinnry course of their business shortens their lives." "Where do newspaper men come in!" "Oh, they don't live as long as any of tho people I have mentioned. Even book keepers and bank cashiers, as well as artistfrftnd nrchitei-ts are ahead of them. y come in next, with the printers, physicians and gentlemen who are not engaged in any active employment.

Washing ton Star. The invest or Balloons. James Olaisher states that the balloon construct! il in ltS04 by Kuene Oodard was the lnrgcst ever made. Itt cupacity was nearly half a million cubic feet. .The air in this tire balloon was heated by an eighteen foot stove, weighing with the chimney, HSO pounds. This furnace was fed with straw, and the "car" con sisted of a gallery surrounding it. Two ascents of this balloon were made from Ciemorne Gardens, London, on July 20th nnd July 23ih, IBM. The "Geant," Nadar's colossal balloon, contained 215, 363 cubii feet of gas, nnd raised thirty five persons at one time, This balloon was also remarkable as having attached to it a regular two story hoimo for a car. Its ascent on Sunday, the 18th of Octo tobor, ISti.'i, was witnessed by nearly half a million of persons. After pass ing over the eastern part of France, Belgium and Holland, the "Geant'' suf fered a disastrous descent in Hanover on tho day after it started on its peril ous journey. In 1873, a balloon of 400,000 feet of cubic capacity was made to enable Mr. Vie to cross the Atlantic, but it unfortunately burst. The longest distance traveled in a balloon in tho shortest time was 1150 in twenty hours, by Messrs. Wise and LaMountain, the route taken being from St. Louis in tho direction of New York. Yankee Blade. A Title for tlio I'resldent. Tho question, "What shall be the title ef the President of the Uuited States?"' according to the St. Louis Globe-Demo--crat, was one which elicited no little '-'J'Oiscussion among the members of the first Congress, and it is said that tho in f" auguration of Washington was delayed several days by consideration and debate 1 as to what should bo his title. "His f Highness, the President of the United J States of America and Protector of Their Liberties," was discussed and rejected. "His Excellency" was alsc proposed and also rejected. After numerous sugges- tions, it was finally decided that the r Chief Executive Officer should be of ficially known as th "President of tho United States." The title Excellency, as applied to tho President, was of later growth than the time of Washington, who was greatly relieved when Congress decided the ques tion by giving him no title, as he was much in dread lest a lofty titlo should ., provoke envy and antagonis t.

The way to make an icehouse Is to think about it in tho summer and havo tho preparations mado before tho winter. Tho requisites are a dry foundation; double walls filled in between with dry sawdust, or other loose stull that will make a good non-couductor of tho heat and thus retain tho cold; a tight and well-ventilated roof over it, and tho ex clusion of water or air from every part oi it. Uoou ventilation over the top covering, howevor, is indispensable, as tnls keeps the covering dry, and dryness is an absoluto necessity. A refrigerator is mado in this way and on the Bame principles. A box of any sultnble shape is made with doublo sides and bottom and cover. The spaco is filled with powdered charcoal, and tho iusidu is we'd painted or lined with sheet zinc or tin. Tho box should stand twice as high as it is wide euch way, aud is di vided into two parts by a metallic divis ion. The ico rests on this, and this part should have a pipe to carry oil tho water as the ice melts. Tho lower chamber is provided with shelves on which the articles to bo kept cool are placed, and a door for access is fitted to tho front. The icebox on top is covered by a lid or falling door. .New York limes. PERCHES Many pcoplo make a great mistake when building houses, by placing the pcrcucs in all conceivable directions, The placing of the perches in all dircc tions, however, is not tho mistake. When the roosts are placed thus.tho object gen erally is to utilizo space, aud in foi lowing up this object sotno perches aro placed near the floor, while others may just oareiy aitora tne fowls space enough to roost between tho perch and the roof of the house. This is where tho mis take comes in. Have you ever watched your fowls while ttcy are preparing to roostf If you have, you could not fail to seo that all of them were anxious to got on the top perch. After tho fowls have selected the place upon which they would settle for tho night, tho obsorving poultry raicer could not but notice how they are packed on the highest peroh, while the lowest perch does not have a single one on it. Tho intermediate, that Is, those between tho highest and lowest perches, would havo fowls on them which could not possibly socurc room ou tho upper most one. This is a fault which should be reme died. Tho number of birds to a house is limited, to prevent overcrowding; yet it is overcrowding In its worst form to have a roost packed with fowls. We all know tho evil effects of overcrowding, and the clearer we steer from it tho bet ter. The only way of preventing this erowding on the perches is to have the perches all on tho same level. The fowls will then have no choice, and will accept the change. Even though tho per cues uo take up more room than when arranged in a haphazard way, it should not bother tho owner of tho fowls. American Farmer. IMPLUENCB OF FOOD UPON BUTTER. As to the iuflueoce of different foods upon butter there aro many conflicting opinions. lo throw somo light on this subject five cows were fed at the Maine Station three different rations during as many periods. The grain ration of the first period consisted of a mixture of cottonseed meal, cornuieal aud wheat bran ; during tho Becoud period of peas and barley, aud during the third period of linseed meal, cornmeal and wheat bran. The amount of milk was diminished somewhat in passing from the first to the second period, and increased slightly after changing to the third period. The composition of the milk varied but little, even less during tho three periods than is often observed when the ration is not chauged. The relation in quautity in fats to the other solids varied somewhat, but appar ently without reference to the fojd. While only limited couclusious can bo drawn from this experiment, it appears that quite radical chauges cau bu made in the kiud of grain ratiou fed without afluctiug the quality of tho milk. It was shown that the tcuduuey of butter to melt duriug hot weather iuiy bo iu ilueuced by the kiud of food, and ulsj the degree of harducss may bu affected. A mixture of cottonseed meal or lin seed meal with coruiueul uud wheat brau, especially the cuttouseod mixture, pro duced butter less easily melted and of a mure solid appuaraucu thau did the peas and barley. Upon tho whole, from a review of tho experiment as fouud stated in the Annual Station Kcpurt, it does not suciu to havo drawn out any results which should change the more common opiuion that the individual character of the auimal is the most proiniuunt factor iu determiu iug the quality uf butter. New Ifurk World, FARM ATf D OARDRM NOTES. Prepare potting soli for autumn use. Thin your fruit if you want fine larg specimens. Keep tho soil around the shrubs fret from weeds. Herbs ought to be cut before they ar in full bloom. 8ow a patch of rye early in a conren lent place for a poultry paiture. On the farm poultry costs but littlo foi feed if it can have a good raugo. Evan In siinitii? it is best to havo reg ular hours for (ceding the poultry. There 1 tt good reason for everything, and success or failure in sheep are not exceptions. Fowls that are fed and cared for need no special forcing or feeding for health and growth. Unless care is taken there is always more or, less risk of the turkeys getting beyond control. This is a world of progress, and the sheep industry is in closest touch with human Industries. The amouut of wool a sheep will grow depends upon the breed and health uniform food supply. If pastures are very rank, it would b well to mow them for hay, and lot ths sheep have dry, healthy pastures. A neglected and poorly fed flock of poultry will breed lice faster and more surely than almost anything else. Steel wire fences solve the dog ques tion, aud corrugated iron roofing solves the shelter problem. This is the iron age. No profitable, ' economic, progressive farming is fouud in tho world that has not sheep applied to the situation iu some form or other. Chicken gapes can bo prevented by keeping tho young chicks out of tho wet grass until about three weeks old. A cute is somewhat uncert un. If you see your young chicks 'gaping or shaking thoir heads, examine the top of the heads and neck for lice. You will doubtless find what you look for. Choose a sandy soil as a location for the poultry houso and yards. It will keep dryer, and accumulate less surface tilth. Damp clay soil is an inducement to roup. Professor Fletcher, Dominion Ento mologist, says that June or Kentucky blue grass docs not make a good head until the third or fourth year from sow ing. If you havo chicks of a now brood, watch them as they develop; they may be better or they may be inferior to the old breeds with which you are aC' quaintod. Do the birds wallow under the yard fence and escape? Try nailing on the net with six inches of it left on the grouud at right angles to tho fence, and iuside the enclosure. A good feeding floor for the hogs will more than repay its cost in a singlo sea son by the saving ot grain. To feed good corn on muddy ground is a practice that is about out of fashion. Tho farmer who wages warfare upon birds often destroys his best friends. They do more to keep down our insect enemies than all the insecticides and spraying duvices yet invented. Meat scraps should be fed to the lay ing hens ii somo lorni at least twice a week; it helps cousiderubly toward fill ing the egg basket, and is a preventive to feather pulling and other vices. Tho successful manufacturer always knows the cost of producing any article that ho puts upon tho market. When he cannot produce for less than soiling price ho changes his methods or stops. There is not much difference between tho cost of tho food needed to pro duce a pound of butter and that required for a pound of beef. Then if the beef cattle must be housed and cared for the same as the dairy cattle, there is, of course, tho best profit in butter produc tion. Professor Roberts, of Cornell Univers ity, said in speaking of growing fodder corn: "Twenty tons of manure is too much for uu acre of land. Five tons is enough. I would just as soon think of putting five bushels of oats into a horse's maugnr at one time, as twenty tons on an acre." Are you sure that you are tunning tho farm "for ull it is worth I" Could not a few more calves bo raised or pigs be kept, or a few sheep be added, or the poultry yard bo better filled with more and better stock? Are there not waste places now growing weeds that could be mado to grow profitable crops! Think it over and seo how much idle laud and spare time you have. They CUug to Custom. Womon are not permitted to sit in the body of the Temple Church of London, becauso many hundreds ot years ago the seats wero reserved for the monkish knights, for whom tho church was erected.

Nobody knew why he was sta tioned ut that particular poiut until some one, dtlviug iu old records, discovered that generations before a sentinel had been placed to warn peoplo off a uewly paiutud beueh.
