There he was found hr his sisters, the Heliades. who, lamenting long and bitterly were at last changed by the gods into ever sighing poplars, and their tears, which continued to flow, became translucent amber as they dropped Into the streuni. The Greeks, even at this remote period, thus revealed their knowledge of the origin of amber. The tears of the ever-sighing poplars, tiecomlng amber as tbey dropped into the stream.

roilETFT.UXO A t/)\G Mi n. Outward Signs Abuiwlam—I'hyslelans Easily Interpret Them. Every person carries about with him the physical indications of his longevity. A long lived person can be distinguished from a short lived person at sight. In many Instances a physician may look at toe hand of w patient and tell whether he will
lire or die.
In the vegetable ns well as the SEims) kingdom each life takes its characteristics from the life from which It sprung. Among these inherited characteristics we Bnd the rapacity for continuing its life for a given langth of time. ThU capacity for living wa call the Inheient or potential longevity. llerain are presented the two lead- ! Ing considerations, always present ' and always Interdependent—ike in- , heriferi potentiality and the leaction- , atv ruguenccs of apvironinent. The primary condtllona of long- ' avlty are that the heart, lungs and . digestive organa as wen ae the brail, ahcnld be large. If tbeae organa are ; large, the trunk will ha long and the limbs comparatively short. The peri son will appear tali in titling and 1 short In alanding. The hand will 1 have .a long and somewhat heavy paioi and abort fingers. The brain will he deeply seated, as shown by the orltca of the ear being low. The blue baiel or brown baxel eye, a* ehowlng an Intarm'asion of tempera ment, it a favorable Indication. The nostrils being large, open end free Iwdicates Ittge lungs. A pinched and half dosed nostril Indicates small or
weak lungs.
■These are seueral points of distinction from those of snort lived tendencies, hut, of course, subject to the usual individual exceptioa. Still, It Is well acknowledged that the 'cha actet iatfes noted are expresstona «<.' inherent potemiality, which hart) been proven on the basis of abundant statistical evidence. In the case of persons who have short lived parentage on one side aud Jong lived ou the other side, the question becomes more Involved. It Is shown In graf ing and hybridizing that nature makes a supreme effort to pass the period of the shortet longevity and extend the life of the 11eater longevity. Any one who unde stands these weak and dangerous periods of life is forewarned and forearmed. It has been observed that the children of long lived parents mature much later and ate usually backward in their studies.—.Medical

Treated the Hospital*.
Th* London Hospital has distributed automatic collecting boxes, with a hand Indicating the collection made, and the statement that a donation of one penny keeps the hoaplial for one second. In the bar of an K’H*t Knd public bouse, one of these London Hospital collecting boxes attracted the attention of i. crowd of sailors who had Just been paid eft. With great oeiight they stait*d putting pennies in the slot An elderly i tun, who looked like n bo sun, was one of the crowd, aud he watched the proceedings with drunken solemnity. Having obtained five shillings ir. coppers, he approached the collecting box. ’ Boys," suld he, “don't be too rpeedy. Taka li easy. Change yer money an' crowd her up vo £10. If she'll hold It.
