More women reach old age than men, but more men nuain reniaraaoie longevity uiau worn en. Some auimals grow to be rerv old. Horned nuimals live shorter lives than thoe without horns, fierce longer than timid, and amphibious longer than those which inhabit the air. The voracious piK exists, it is said, to an age of 150 years; the turtle is good for a hundred years or more; and among birds the golden eagle is known to hare lived nearly SOU years, while the sly and somber crow reaches the venerable age of a century. Passing up in the scale of life to man, and skipping the patriarchs, we find many recorded instances of longevity among the classic Greeks and Romans. Pliny notes that in the s it ... reign oi uie Amperor vespastan, in the year 76. there were 124 men living In the limited area between the Apennines and the Poof 100 years and upward, three of whom were 140 and four over Cicero's wife lived to the age of 10.1, and the Koman actress Luceja played In public as late as her 112th Coming down to more recent time the most notable authentic Instance of frest age is that of Henrr Jenkins, of orkshtre, Eng., who dfl in 1670. 169 years old.

In his 159d year Parr went up to London to exhibit himself to the King. It proved an unlucky visit, for violating the abstemious habit of a century and a half the old man feasted so freely on the royal victuals that be soon died merely of a plethora. On examination his internal organs proved to be In excellent condition, and there was no reason why he should not have lived much longer save for this unfortunate taste of royal hospitality.

Coming up to him one day as he stood in some ehapparal, Davis fired a charge of shot from his long ducking gun, hitting him in the shoulder, and the old fellow fell, but got up and started off falling twice more. The year following Davis got him in a trap again, but he shook it oft and escaped. That same summer he put his foot into Davis's trap, but it caught his toe only. He pulled the toe off rather than be taken, and thus gained the name of Clubfoot. the name of Clubfoot. Hi track .a4ati abivoM 1 miiW inchei.

It would puale a good many people to tell- why. it could hardly be because he flattered them, for he often told them some plain trutlis. Jit m w ant to come u him and talk ovr t h..,v affairs: and so he was not at all urprised when Charley White name and leaned on his fence one dav while he was at work in his garden. He hoed out his row, and then paused and asked, rather abruptly: 'Well, Charley, what do you want nowP" "Five dollars." answered Charier. " Five dollars? Whew! I don't know as 1 have It for you." " And if you had I shouldn't want you to give it to me. I haven't come to that yet. 1 want to earn it," "But how do you expect to earn so much money, and go to school, toof" "I didn't say I expected to earn it; may be I don't. But you asked what t wanted." "Sharp boy!" said Mr. Barber, smiling. "Perhaps I will make out better asking what 70U want of Ave dollars.

She's next thins: to mother to fix a fellow up and take care of him when he's sick. I'm afraid I didn't think much about it at the time: but since I ve been about again I've thought a good deal, aad Pd tike to make l.oua present.

So I don't know as lam likely to get the money; but that is what I shouhflika." "Well, well," said Mr. Barber, thoughtfully, "you might have been thinking of something worse. I can tell you one thing you may consider. Mr. Camp was driving the cow himself this morning. Tou know he pastures most of the village cows, and takes V. . ' I l u ... m. u ... I. I I them back and forth in the bargain. He has just turned oft that Dudd bov because he could not depend upon him. He wants another boy at a dollar a week. The work Urn t very much, and can bo done out of school hours; but he wants a boy to be on hand at the hour, every mornlnft and every night, and, you know, boys like to be otl whenever there to some other place they would rather be." "That Is tying a fellow down prettv close, in fact. No going oft" of an afternoon and staying late, or any such fun." "Just so; it would be a good deal of a job, and hang on a long while; so 'perhaps you had better go and tell your msier now mucn you atmrtM- ate her juniiness, ana yon wo u m ao sometntng to show it, if it did not cost anything." Charley flushed, and said: Vmi think my talk is only talk, I see. But 1 don't believe I did much even of that, in the time of it, when It might have done some good. I'm afraid 1 grumbled and complained when everything didn't just suit, and when It did, said nothing about it." "Shouldn't wonder a bit. You're bound to make a man yet. Those are some of the sure umptotns." " Well, we'll see. Good day, sir," said Charley. Htood day," replied Mr. Barber. Charley went first to his mother and then to Mr. Camp, and the next mornIng Mr. Barber nodded and smiled to see him parsing with the cows, and many a word of cheer did he give the boy tlur.ng the long week, which would grow tedtou sometime hi spite of himself. But they wore away for all that, and the season cam: when the cows were no longer to go to the pnsture. Charley felt rich with his five dollars In nil pooket, and more he sides. Soon after cams the day he had been planning fey. When Lou otened her door that morning to come down stairs she found hanging to the outor knob a eat of tnm which exactly suited her, with a eanl attached, oa which the read: "Tor Lou's Mrthday, with brother Charley's love.
