OLD ANDREW AND ST.LUIvE.
_
Old Andrew Licknev lived in a little
log house that seemed to cling to the
mountain side. It was typical of its
owner, for old Andrew held on to the
rugged mountain side of life. He was a
strange man. Years ago, when the wonderful
enterprise of the Methodist church
sent its circuit riders in advance of civilization,
old Andrew, or rather at that
time young Andrew, parted the rank
cane with the vigorous hand of the gos ?w>l
TT<> wns never married. In latter
r"' ? ? years,
when lie had grown too old and
feeble to longer engage in active work,
his only household companion was a large
shaggy dog, whose somewhat astounding
cognomen, St. Luke, caused much comment,
and, on one occasion, it is said,
conference requested the old man to
change the animal's name, claiming that
it was irreverent to bestow on a dog so
saintly a title. This request was not
granted, and it was hinted that it had
something to do with old Andrew's withdrawal
from active warfare with the
world, the flesh and the devil. St. Luke
very much resembled his master. The
odd fancy is sometimes indulged even by
practical people that men and animals
can associate so long together that they
finally partake of each other's physical,
not to say mental peculiarities. Old Andrew
had but one <;ood eye: St. Luke
only had one. Old Andrew's chin shook:
St. Luke's under jaw was unsteady. Old
Andrew limited; so did St. Luke.
Several nights ago, while old Andrew
sat by bis fire, his nodding and the
snoring of St. Luke were disturbed bj
a knock at the door.
"Come in!"
Steve Uluc entered. Blue was a large,
rough fellow, with thick, coarse-grained
skin, heavy eyes which looked not from
a soul, and withal, a general expressior
of brutality and lack of thought. Old
Andrew arose and motioned the vistoi
to a chair. St. Luke, lying in the cornet
near the tire, opened his effective eye i
moment and slowly closed it, not without
an air of suspicion. Although th<
old stage horse of the church, as Mr.
Lickney was sometimes called, and Steve
Blue lived in the same neighborhood, yet
they knew very little of each other, foi
in the rough fellow old Andrew could
'"find nothing attractive, and in the some
what intellectual preacher the dull eyes
of Steve could see nothing at all. Thi?
mutual lack of interest caused old An
drew to regard the visit with surprise.
Steve sat down, and with his heavy gaze
fixeel on the fire, remained for some time
in silence. The old preacher began te
show signs of nervousness, but whethei
they were observed by the visitor, 01
whether lie took secret pleasure in suel
S111 I... 1.1
exniDlllons, inr uinvimni; hum, wuiu uui
divine. At last Steve, removing his ya/.i
from the fire, and fixing it on old An
drew, said:
'You was down to Little Hock 'tuthci
day, wa'n't you?"'
''Yes, I went down on business."
"I 'lowed it was business," and Stev<
laughed in a sluggish way. like the murk)
slosh of swamp water. "Seed some o
them gover'mcnt men down thar, didn'i
you ?"
The old man staiif I, as though seizec
by a sudden fear.
''Yes; for some of the officers, hearing
that I was in town, had me summoned
before the United States grand jury."
"An' you told 'em that several fellers
in this here eurmunity was makin' wild
cat whisky, eh
The old man moved uneasily and re
plied: "I was placed under oath and wa:
compiled to answer the questions whicl
they asked me."
"An' I reckon you was mighty keen tc
do it, wa'n't you
"It was no business of mine, and
I should have volunteered no informa
tion."
"You're .a putty slick talker, old
man. All you wanted was a chance t(
give us away. You want to see us <lru<;
off to jail an' see our wives an' chillui
starve."
"The. assertion is unjust, Mr. lilue
. My mission on eartl^ and it is now clos
ing, has been to alleviate suffering, in
stead of causing it. I did not know thai
you were an illicit distiller. I did nol
mention your name and only spoke ol
those whom I knew to be in that unlawful
business.
"Unlawful business," repeated Steve,
with a merciless grin. "What right has
thegover'ment got to say that 1 shan't
do what I please with mj^ co'n an' apples
? This here's a free country, old
man "
"I shall not enter into a discussion ol
individual rights. You may entertain one
? J idea and I may hold another. I granl
you the right and you should not withhold
it from me."
"Never mind your high-strung talk.
I ain't got time to palarver. This here's
a business visit, old man."
"What business can you have with me,
Mr. Blue?"
- "J/emme tell you a little story."
* "Thought this was a business visit."
. "Well, airtcr the story the business
' comes. One time tnar was a feller what
a quiet sort o' man. One o' the
neighbors killed his son. He didn't say
much an' didn't do nuthin\ Airter a
w^ile_ another one o' the neighbors
caused his wife to leave him. He didn t
i, do nnthin'. Some time airterwards his
brother told the deputy marshals that he
was makin' wild cat whisky."
Old Andrew waited for a moment to
hear the conclusion of the recital. Steve
sat. with his gaze fixed on the lire.
"Well, what did lie do with his brother?''
"Killed him,*' and again there was a '
slugglish laugh like the murky slosh of
swamp water.
"What, killed his brother for so little
when for great offenses he allowed others
to escape!"
"Zackly. The greatest sin what a
man ? an do in this world is to repo't on
a wild eat 'stiller.*'
The old man looked around nervously,
and then began to search the visitor's
face. He might as well have studied a
-hovelfull of earth.
"This evenin'," said Steve, "a deputy
marshal come to my house. 1 poked my
mm tlimiitrli tln? window and killed him.
Then I left, an' as I was passin' here, I
thought I'd stop an tell you srood-bye,
fur I've got to leave the country. How
old are you?"
"Seventy-eight.'"
"It's bad that you've got to die so
young," turning with a munli-rous leer.
" .My find, man, you don't mean to kill
me!''
"Oh, no. wouldn't kill you. A man
never kills a snake what tries to bite
him."'
Steve took a short rope from his
pocket. He made a loop at one end and
sat for a time turning the lienip round
and round.
" " For the love of God, do me no violence.
I am an old man with, only a few
more days left.''
"A few more minutes you mean.''
1 nmilil.i t,i ilctV'iid mvsi'lf. :lll(l
am at your mercy."
'Don't reckon I want you to defend
yourself, do you.' I ain't the man to give
a feller a stick an' tell him to knock me
down."
' Will you let me pray?"
"No, you've prayed enough in your
lifetime, an' 'sides that, you might pray
for the marshals to ketch me."
" No, I will only pray for myself. All,
Mr. Jiltie. life is sweet even to an old
man. The young, with bright hopes,
can die quite as willingly as the old
man who lias walked far along the dusty
road. I did you no intentional harm,
and I implore your forgiveness. Let me
live?"
" Old man, life is as sweet to me as it
is to you. 'Cause you've read books
an' pleached, don't think that your
life is worth more to.you than mine is to
mc "
"Yes, but I would not take yours for
the world. If you had but one hour to
live, and I knew that by robbing you of
that short time I would gain years and
' years, I would not lift a finger against
you. You are yet a free man. You can
escape. Yatt may take my liorse."
"1 will take your horse?
"Thank you."
"After I have took your life."
"Oh, Lord, save your?"
Steve threw the loop over the old man's
head and with a jerk pulled him from the
chair, lie fell on his knees and with his
palsied hands, struggled to loosen the
rope. Steve stood regarding his victim
with brutal fondness, lie allowed the
rope to slacken, for he seemed to take a
fiendish delight in hearing the old man's
tones of agony.
"Kor Christ's sake spare me!" catching
the rope. "Spare me. and I will pray
unceasingly for you. Oh. do you not
know that there is an awful hell where
the murderer's soul cries out in the deep
anguish of unbearable torture!"
"You'd better draw up a bench, old
man, an' let me be a mourner."
"Oh, that you were a mourner!"
"An' then you'd have the heels on me,
eh? To throw aside foolishness an' come
down to business, vou've got to die. I'm
- - * tllHI,,.
gOlH to urail YOU I'OUIIU mis iuuiu lilt lilt
life's choked outen you.*'
He gave the rope a jerk, and the old
man fell on his face. Around the room
Steve dragged linn. The old man's tongue
came out, and catching on a sharp nail,
was almost torn from his mouth. The
old dog arose and was gazing at the horrible
performance. Steve, in turning to
drag the lifeless body back toward the
fireplace, stumbled over a stool and fell.
The old dog's chance had come. He
sprang upon the fallen man, seized him
bv the throat, and with a strength that
had long been slumbering, preyed him
to the floor. Steve struggled desperately,
but his hands becoming entangled in the
rope, he was soon in a helpless condition.
His groans were awful. The old
man's life was but a mere breath.
Steve's life was a storm. Old St. Luke
panted with exertion, but he did not relax
his hold.
The next morning two deputy marshals
entered the house. A shocking picture.
The old man lay on his back, with his
hands clasped. Steve's face was blue
and his eves protruded in ghastly stare.
They were all dead. The dog's eyes were
closed, and in death he still retained a
stronghold on the assassin's throat.?

How Seven Men Dispersed 1,200.
Mr. George W. Veatch, now of Nye
county, Nevada, but formerly <>f Cincinnati,
writes home tel init of a mob out
West and how it was dispersed. He
| says:
A few years ago, in the county next
adjoining Nye (Xcv.) on the east, at the
. town of Eureka, where there arc large
' silver smelting works, using an immense
amount of charcoal, which is supplied
from the mountains, mostly by Italian
coal burners, they struck for a rise in
[ price, and would allow no one to bring
[ coal in town. There were some 1,500 of
, them in the business.
[ Tlic sherill telegraphed the governor
. that he feared a riot. That morning a
man came in and said the burners were
t assembling mounted and armed, and in.
tending to come to town. The sherill
, jumped on his horse, armed with a
Henry rifle and revolver. Ik-fore he
, got out of town lie hallooed to six men
to arm and follow him, and meet
- him at a certain place. He could
I have had a hundred men if he
had said so. Meeting at the
place he said: 'T'm going to
make a speech to that crowd, and
they inu-t and shall listen to me. Tic
your horses hoys, our Henrys are good for
. sixteen shots each, and our Colts for six

, word, ami not unless they defy me."
. Then on those seven men went on foot,
. about a quarter of a mile, and came to
i the strikers, fully 1,200 men mounted
t and armed, but sober, though like their
. race they became very excited on seeing
. seven armed men coming toward them.
The leader rode down on them fol
- I lowed by the whole gang. The sherilT
said: ''You know I'm the sheriff. You
are an unlawtui crowd. You must dis>
perse."' " To perdition with you and the
law," and :i11 that vast crowd were riding
? round that little band of seven men, with
I fearful oaths in their own language.
" Hoys," said the sheriff, " look sharp!"
[ Furiously the leader cursed and defied
them. At the word "fire" th? sheriff
r killed the leader, and seven bodies rolled
[ from their saddles, and the quick repeating
titles killed twenty of them
* | before their horses could take them
. j out of range. Had the seven kept their
horses so they could have pursued them,
. J manv more would have been killed.
5 They didn't think the sheriff meant any^
thing more than talk. Had they got
into town and whiskicd, there would
, have been an awful riot. So severe was
the icsson, and so many mounted men
I were seen bv the Italians urging their
. horses toward Eureka, thev lied further
into the mountains, thinking the whites
I 1 were rallying to again .slaughter them.
( That determined sheriff in a lew days
r went out to their haunts and told them
J they could return to their business and
j wouldn't be molested. ''Hut if you break
| the laws you'll sutler worse next time."
unesaiu: run (tamers norse rurew
him, poor fellow! ami one of your men
t shot him." The sherill told them they
t could go to town and get the bodies. A
f few went in, but they felt safest when
the sherill was in sight. Many left the
county, and there lias never been any
more coal-burners attempting to defy the
i ; law.
How Bismarck is Guarded.
[ (Joing to the Reichstag in Berlin
Bismarck is guarded as closely as the
F czar when he appears in public. Police
: agents in plain clothes are posted all along
t the way from his house an:l even in the
chamber itself, and no one?not even a
regular government employe?is admitted
to any part of the building with[
out a special permit. As soon as the chancellor
reaches his desk, attendants place
before him half a dozen well-sharpened
pencils and a large glass of Moselle
wine.
A new and formidable fighting ship
has been built in England for the government
of Brazil. She is named the
Riachuelo, and is a steel-armored turret
ship, 305 feet long, having a displacement
ol 6,700 tons. She has fifty-eight

of noiik' of the Expci intents.
In last December a irontIonian engaged
to teach in Sr. Louis invited a number of
friends to his house to meet u lady who
hud just returned from Kurope, and who
had traveled extensively in the East.
She had .net .Madam Blavatsky and
Colonel Olcottnud other members of the
Theosophical society, but was not herself
a theosophist At Damascus, where her
husband died, she met an Arab physician
who possessed in a limited degree what
is called the power of tactual cure. The
acquaintance which followed proved to
her that she herself was strongly endowed
with the mesmeric power. The Arab
taught her how to develop it, and her
knowledge of the Indian mystics, and
the tremendous power they claim, was
perhaps one of the reasons why she embraced
electro bioloffy so strongly, mak?

Tin* lady was able to perform some
very remarkable feats, as she proved at
the time. For instance, she took a small
mirror, and. holding it before her face,
breathed upon it repeatedly, finally putting
it upon a table and making several
rapid passes over it. In turn each of the
party was invited to look into the irlass,
fixing in their minds the face they desired
to see. AY lien the reporter's turn
came he fastened his mind upon the set I
of fair features which were easiest to re- !
call and looked. At first his own face
alone was there, but it faded away, dissolving
first at the sides until nothing
but the eves remained. Then the glass

called rapping I y spiritualists, and,
framed on the clouds, came tlie countenance
for which the writer looked. There
could he no doubt about it. It was as
truthfully limned as though the original
herself stood before the mirror. Singularly
enough those who tried to call up
dead faces were the only ones who suffered
even a partial disappointment. As
the Madam remarked: "The glass will
only project the picture in your mind.
If that picture is faded you will get only
your idea, nothing more." .Madam B.
lelt the city shortly after for her home in
Philadelphia, and returned to St. Louis
in the latter part of March. In
the mean time the experiments
which she hud performed were
not forgotten, and the gentlemen
who had witnessed her power
were anxious to develop something of a
similar order themselves. Singularly
enough it has been only the dark-haired
and dark-eyed ones who have met any
success at all. The books on the subject
were ransacked, and some advance made.
The doctor living on Olive, beyond Jefferson
avenue, seemed to have the most
| power. At these meetings, however,
nothing hut the stock phenomena oi
electro-biology were exhibited, until late
in January one of the party made, the
remarkable discovery that certain classes
of animals, particularly ordinary barnyard
fowl, pigeons and rabbits, were susceptible
to the mesmeric intluencc and
could be controlled with the utmost ease.
Some of the experiments nrc so simple
and so striking that a detailed description
of them may be given. No animal
will look man in the eye except furtively,
the prolonged stare requisite for ordinary
mesmerism is out of the question, and
consequently the means had to be found.
Taking a large sheet of good white
I paper, a heavy black line was ruled up
and down the center, about one-eighth
of an inch thick and eighteen inches
long. A chicken was brought in, a panicstricken
and intensely excited Shanghai
rooster. Standing the cock on the paper,
his head was forced down.so that his beak
touched the end of the black line, the
line itself stretching out before him in
the axis of the body. Slight, caressing
]lasses were made with the tips of the
fingers of the right hand from the head
of the fowl backward, and in less than
three minutes lie was in a state of com
plete coma. 1'Iiis experiment every one
of the party has tried, at the doctor's
and at home, and everywhere with the
most complete success. You may remove
your hands from the fowl completely.
leaving him pinned by the psychic
force to the end of the lead-pencil
line on your paper. The pupils of the
eyes dilate, the cock is entirely insensible
to sounds at a distance of a yard,
and if the passes are continued after the
coma has begun for any length of time
it becomes really difficult. to get the bird
out of tlic trance. In one instance a
sprightly bantam hen that seemed full
of life and vitality died during the ex- ,
periment.
A great many experiments with different
colored lines and paper, drawn in
different positions on the paper, all failed
with rabbits, although 011 white paper a
black "V" produced a coma which lasted
as long as the passes were kept up, but no
longer. The next idea tried was thoroughly
successful. Two bright half dollars
were placed on a table near an open window
at which diffused daylight entered.
,,M tii-n inolwic mnirt

and a rabbit's head held with the nose
touching the table about an inch aml-ahalf
behind the coins. Then with small
pellets of paper and matches the pieces of
silver were raised at the edges so that each
reflected the light into one of the animal's
eyes. The head was held tirmlv in position
without hurting for about live minutes,
when coina was found to have set in sulliciently
to permit the removal of the hands, I
iesit ingtherobbit swaying backward and
forward, and altogether unable to move
away. The customary passes were then
made and the animal became rigid.
It could he taken up and handled, and
was as stiff as if it was a frozen corpse.
After a trance of some ten minutes' duration
the rabbit came back to consciousness
of itself without any effort, being
made to revive it. It reeled and staggered
about the lloor for a moment or
two, then seemed thoroughly to recover,
eating with much relief some food that
was given it.
Pigeons, canary birds and mocking J
birds were found to yield to ordinary j
m.ininiilations if thev were held close to I
I... r ? I
the eye, and the breath is an all powerful
element in mesmerising them,
i When .Madam 11. had returned to St.
Louis she took up with much enthusiasm
the investigation which was being proseI
cnted. It was as new to her as to the
people making the discovery, although,
as she pointed out, the snake-charmers
of India have been working in this line
for ages. Equipped as she was by her
peeial sludv, sir: so >11 made advance*
which had not been dreamed of by the
others.* It was her idea to add the power i
of music to the magnetizing. At first
this seemed to have noclTcct, but finally
a piccolo was secured, and the results
with chickens, birds, rabbits, cats and
at last dogs were truly remarkable. The
time requisite for magnetixation was
shortened to a few seconds, and the character
of the trance changed. Searching
through the line of instruments the oc- i
anna was found to be even better than I
the piccolo. I' is smaller and more effective.
A rattlesnake was pureha-cd from a ;
Memphis druggist who had been keeping !
the ophidian in his show-case during the j
winter. It arrived by express, and, was (
at mice warmed and fed into activity. A j
close examination showed that its poison- !
bags were intact and full of vciium. A !
chicken bitten by it died in forty two j
minutes, a rabbit in forty. Afterconsid- j
crable maneuvering of a rather exciting j
nature, the snake was brought <>ut of his
l)ox and bound to :i lath. A couple of i
bright tin mirrors a later substitute fur I
tin. olvcr half-dollars. were ad justed, and ]
a slow movement played upon ihe j
ocarina. The snake was evidently highly
irritated, his rattles worked convulsively,
and he hissed continually. Madam 15?,
holding a small horse-shoe magnet on her
hand, made the passes from the head
down the spine. In a minute and a
quarter coma began, continuing for about j
two minutes, when the snake awoke.
The angry glitter had gone out of its |
eyes, and after an examination Madam j
i}., cut the cords which bound it and i
left it free to do as it would. The snake |
at once came to a coil, with its head I
erect, and began bowing with the bc:its |
of the music. Touched with the lath, it |
did not strike at the word, but rubbed its i
head against it; and when oue of the j
party, taking the precaution to put on a j
buckskin over a k d glove, touched i
it, it permitted itself to be fondled |
as tamely as a dog. Doubtless, j
had any one been foolKardy enough to I
attempt it, the snake would have been j
taken up and passed about; but this was
not done. Subsequently attempts were
made to bring it into a charmed state
with the ocarina alone, but they were
failures. The magnetization was proved j
to be an essential part of the process.
Before conclusive experiments could be I
conducted, however, the snake, while he
was being bound to the lath, slipped from
under the crotch with which his neck was
held, bit himself in several places, and,
in littie less than half an hour, died.
One of the party owned a large Newfoundland
dog. Hejyas brought into the !
parlor, and. after a struggle, held in the .
proper position for the tin mirrors to do
tneir work. He succumbed to the glare,
the music and the passes in eight min- 1
utes. The time would have been shorter,
but he was desperately frightened, and
succeeded in breaking away twice. When
coma did set in he stood as rigidly as a
statue, and Madam R, kneeling in front
of him, continued the magnetization with {
the hands and with the breath. This she
kept up for nearly ten minutes, the dog in j
the meantime standing perfectly still, except
for strong convulsive shudders that .
passed over him from time to time. No*

body was touching mm. i nc omv pujs- ,
ic:d manifestation of his condition, beside
the position and the trembling, was the |
slaver that fell steadily from his mouth.
.Madam 15. announced that she meant.
if possible, 1o get en rapport with the
animal, and when the ten minutes were .
up she had succeeded. She walked t<>
the other end of the room, sat down and j
said that she was going mentally to order
lie dog to her. lie was still standing at
i dead point in front of the window.
Madam 15. said "now.'' The dog ;
.vheeled round and came toiler, stopping \
i foot or so away from her chair. "Lie (
lown." I fe threw himself on the carpet.
"<Jet up.'' He lay for a moment or more
and then stood on his feet again. Madam
B. explained the delay by saying that he
did not begin to obey until she had made, '
in her own mind, an idiograph of her or- j
der. The words went for nothing.
"Imagine a rabbit running about the
room.''suggested one.
Thi' dog at once took up tne cnase 01
tlic phantom that existed but in Madam
B.'s brain. In and out from corner to
corner he ran, jumping chairs and tables
in his wild pursuit. "Make him swiin a
creek,M was said. Iu a moment Carlo
was lying 011 his side paddling through

been amusing had it not been for the saliva
that continued constantly to How,
and which was so suggestive of rabies
that every one fell nervous for the result.
So much was the party alarmed about
this manifestation that Madam J}., who
shared the general uneasiness, ordered
the dog into an out-house in the yard,
where he could be watched. Almost as
soon as he passed out of the trance it was
manifest that he was the victim of hydrophobia,
and it became necessary to have
him shot. Madam B. has declared she
will have nothing to do with this development
of mesmerism, as she was thoroughly
alarmed at the condition into
which the dog was brought, and although
some of the party may continue to investigate
the clcctro-biologism of the lower
animals, it is hardly possible that tliey
will tret such results again, as not one has
the lady's power of concentration of will

The Charm of the Human Voice.
A word spoken has far more power to
persua le and to move than the word written.
This is especially true if it be well
spoken?if it be uttered with the proper
intonations nnd inflections and I>0 enforced
with the right gestures. The
propositions which upon a printed page
will be: examined with a searching criticism,
will when falling from tli? lips of a
popular orator carry whole masses into
some course of action. The reader will
be able to detect the ill concealed dishonesties
of the reasoning, lie will discern
if there be any undistributed middle
or illicit process of the minor premise.
The hearer, has not time to make any
such discriminations. 11 is nervous system
becomes bv the power which the
speaker sends forth from eye and tongue
and hand. An undeseribabie magnetism
goes thrilling through him in rapid current*.
He becomes charmed, enthralled,
enslaved, ready to do or dare whatever
the orator may bid. Much of this enchantment
is due to the voice alone. Its
swells and cadences not only delight the
ear, but through that organ excite the
imagination and captivate the reason. It
is 110 wonder that when an Athenian
audience had listened for
an hour to the glowing
periods of Demosthenes, they forgot their
own weakness and the risks of war, and
cried out as one man, "Let us fight
Philip." It is no wonder that when the
rude soldiers of Hungary listened to the
melting accents of their young queen,
that with gallant enthusiasm they burst
forth with the cry, "We will die for our
sovereign." The spoken voice is. however,
far less potent than the voice expressing
itself in the melody of music.
The rich gushing of the throat can call
up in intense force all the emotions of
the human soul. We have seen large
{ ou?jre<rations stirred by the most profound
excitement as rude, untutored
voices swelled into solemn grandeur in a
service of song. The words were of the
simplest?having in them no magnetism
whatever. The whole moving power lay
in the vast volume of sound. There is
no exaggeration in the old story of Orpheus
beguiling the powers of the lower
regions by the notes of his lute. There
have been sinners?there are singers now
?who could perform feats quite as marvelous.

Tinware.
Many people stiil think tinware is pure
tin, and astonishment is often depicted
on the countenances of the unsophisticated
when told that only from two to six
parts in a hundred of a piece of tin-plate
is pure tin, the rest being sheet-iron or
steel, and the tin only a thin coating.
The process of coating ironplatcs with
tin was first invented in Bohemia, or
Silesia, in the fore part of the seventeenth
century; but, like everything else in those
times the process was very crude. The
iron plates at that time were produced
by hammering, nod of course varied
much in their thickness, and seldom exceeded
six or eight inches in width and
length; these plates were heated, dipped
in water, mixed with wood-ash. then
polished by scrubbing them by hand
with sand, covered with a greasy sul>I
stance and dipped into molten tin. On
account of the uneven surface of the
iron plates, a heavy coating of tin?from
fifteen to twenty pounds per hundred
pounds of iron?was necessary to pro!
duce a bright appearance. The plates
that were made in those times were very
costly, and were mostly worked into
cuirasses for warriors, ornaments for
church stec| >!es, and occasionally into I
vessels for family use; but the latter
were so expensive that a piece would be
kept as a valuable inheritance by several
generations.
These plates were used in England
largely, but were imported, because all I
| experiments to produce them cheap !
| enough at home rem lined unsuccessful j
untii about 1710 or 1750; from that time I
on the tin-plating industry began to pros- i
per in England. The process of reduc-I
in.r ;,,t? tliin ulir.i.tc nf morn tiniform I
thickness was soon after invented, and |
gradually, England got control of all
the markets of the world in this commodity,
and since the adoption of the commodity
for such general use in the United >
States, the consumption here has been j
enormous. This country now consumes
about two-thirds of England's produc- j
tion. J-'or the liscnl year ending June j

I Dittrovery That Man Alreaily Lives *'
I.oii^or Than ho Did?*01110 Way*
to I'm Death Yet Further A nay.
To be told that under proper condi- .
ions we ought to live one hundred years,
mil that the discouraging doctrine of the
ntluencc of heredity in shortening life is
inly true in a limited sense, is interest- .
ng to most people. So, also, is the cir- '/
jumslance that we arc living longer than c (
tve used to live, and the assurance mm (<
much may yet be done to prolong our
lives. These and analogous topics were
.riven in a recent lecture by I)r. John p
Foster, of Bradford, England, read at the
February meeting of the She/field Medico['hirurgical
society: "The late Dr. Farr,
in his description of the march through
life of a million children has given the ?
following results: Nearly 1.10,000 will die j
in the lirst year, 00*0 in the second ,l
year, 28,000 in the third year, and less
than 4,000 hi the thirteenth year. At
the end of forty-five years ."500,000, or V1
one-half, will have died. At the begin- J1
ning, of sixty years, :>?<),000 will still be a>
living. At the beginning of eighty years,
!K),000: at eighty-five years, 5J8,000: ami -x<
nt ninety-five years, 2,100. At the beginning
of 100 years there will be 22:5, I1'
and at 108 years one. The mean lifetime
of both sexes in England was calculated ^
some years ago to be 10.8.18, or nearly
forty-one years. Mr. II. I luinphrcys has
shown, however, that in the live years,
1870 to 1880, the mean age at death was .
4'!.."50 (females 45.:)), being a gain of
nearly two and three-quarter years. n
Thus within twenty years, notwithstanding
an increased birth rate, density of
population, and tho unsanitory condition
of towns suddenly grown large, more
than two and a half years have been 0
added to the life of every inhabitant of
ri
"The lipectatov asks: 'What is the kind d
of life which is increasing? Arc we
young longer? I)o we live longer, or arc J
we only a little slower in (lying V 1 am
bound fo admit that some of the gain in .
early life is lost in middle life; that while
the expectation of life at birth is 2r{
more, the expectation from 05 to 00 is a '
fraction less. But notwithstanding the
slight increase of mortality at and upward,
a large portion of the additional
survivors live on to the higher ages. Of
1.000 born, the additional number of
survivors is 35 at the age of 4.1; 2(5 at 55; s
!) at 05; 3 at 75; and 1 at 85. The in- li
crease is much greater among-.females, f,'
By far the larger proportion of the in- t
creased duration of human life in Kng- t
land is lived between 20 and 00. It is 'I
interesting to ascertain what is the nat- n
urai limit of existence. Doctor Farr v
says the natural lifetime of a man is a e
century. That' is the length of v
time a body will live under the t
most favorable conditions. Another ji
most interesting question is: ' When
does old age commence?' Dr. Farr has 1<
divided life as follows: Boyhood, 10 to ?3
1 "? years; youth, 15 to 20; manhood,
25 to ."?0; maturity, 55 to 7"): ripeness, r
7.") to H5; and old age, 85 and upward.
"Old age really begins in certain
pathological changes which take plarc at t
different ages. It is interesting to learn v
what conditions hasten or hinder these
changes. It is held that all life; begins \
in a formless fluid, and from this ti
develops into the varied forms of living 1
beings. There is a life force, inherited 1<
from a preexisting life, which builds up 1
matter into living tissue, and holds it to- gethcr
for a time; and the tenacity with
which this force holds organized matter
together does not depend on size, or
strength or muscular development alto- s
gethcr, but rather probably 011 an even s
balance between the several parts, and 011 c
something more. As the strength of a
chain is cipial to its weakest link, so the n
vital strength of the body is equal to the )
weakest organ. After the middle arch
of life is passed these changes become (
commoner, and there is danger, if we
continue to put the same pressure 011 a j
weakened vessel, that it may burst. In j
the hurry and strife of life men too often t
forget this truth and pay the penalty.
After."50 or ">o a good deal more rest and
sleep are required than in earlier manhood.
The physical powers have begun s
to fail; the mental powers should be at
their best. It i? probable that some of [
the greatest literary productions have ;
been the work of man between liftv and
seventy. Living public men in every department
of literature, science, art and t
politics, may be cited in proof. For
many years after the degenerative pro- (
cesses of aire have weakened the bodily
powers the intellectual powers remain
cnmnarativelv unaffected. A weakened f
1 *
nerve liber may retain its continuity, and
a diseased vessel in the brain may hold t
its entirety for a great Icncrtli of iinic if ]
110 great strain is put upon it. ,e
"In taking the period of sixty-five to
seventy-five, and still following the for- (
tunes of the million children born, we
find that 309,020 enter this age and H51, 124
leave ft alive. Diseases of the brain,
heart and lungs are the most common: s
131,400 die of old age. The numbers that
enter the next decennial?seventy-five to ,
eighty-live?are 101,124. and the number
that leave it alive are 38,505. About
122,500 die chiefly of lung, brain, heart ,
and other local diseases. Nearly 50,000 ?
die of atrophy, debility and old age. (
Some writer says he has met few or
no cases of death from old age, every- j
body dying of some recognized disease, j
It is true that the symptoms of disease
become obscure in old age, many cas:'s of
pneumonia and other inflammations es- f
caping recognition. But il is also true s
that many deaths attributed to disease j
arc mainly due to old age; slight injuries,
cold, heat, want, or attacks which
in early years would have been shaken ofT.
Of the million with which \.i; started.
2,1.'>3 live to the age of ninety-five?223 ,
to 100. Finally, at the age of 108 one (
solitary life flies.
"Diseases may be divided into two (
great classes?the parasitic and the degenerative.
The latter arc more prevalent
in early,and the latter in later stages
of life. Of cancer, which is one of the
diseases of ojd age.it is uncertain whether f
it belongs to the parasitic or the degen- >
crative type. As it is the duty of the \
physician to help man through as many i
of these stages, and with as little pain as ji
possible, it becomes important to study t
how to protect him from accidental dis- <
eases, and how to husband his forces so si
that he may travel far over the way be- i
fore his strength shall fail. The first es- c
scntial <>f life is his food, and beyond t
doubt the majority are underfed, and a f
large proportion improperly fed. The t
mortality among the po:ir and the hard l
worked, at all stages of life, is amazingly t
larger-than among the middle nnd higher t>
classes. The human constitution possesses
a grrat amount of elasticity, and
will tolerate departure from corrcct diet
for a length of time, but in the end the
penalty is rigorously exacted by nature.
Lessened vitality inevitably follows impoverished
blood and ill-nursed tissue.
Undoubtedly, men are better fed than
formerly, and fewer die of starvation.
Hut the increased density of the population
by the (locking of people to the
towns has intensified old dangers. Unless
sanitary improvements keep paec
with the increase of population, the mortality
increases. One-seventh of the population
of (treat Britain live in London: a
large portion of tlie rest live in large
towns. Doctor Karr says: 'What is especially
remarkable in London is the high
mortality of all ages after twenty-live.'
It is due to pulmonary disease. The
saim- holds good of all large towns.
Improved health conditions and increased
population arc fighting a great
battle, and. oil the whole, if not at
every part of the field, health is winning."

Artificial Nourishment.
A foreign paper relates a novel mcthoil
or administering nourishment to in alids
and persons with weak digestion,
vhich, it is alleged, has been practised
n Paris with much success. Diseases
md enfeebled health commonly owe
heir origin to the imperfect assimilation
>f food. When the digestive functions
ire impaired the body is insufficiently
lOurished, and is unable to resist the
ncroachment of disease. For the mainenauce
of health and for restoration
roin sickness it is of the first importance
hat the food be not only of the most
lourishing kind, but that it be adtninisered
in a form easy of digestion and aslimilation.
In a paper recently eomnunicatcd

Ancient Music.
The Egyptian flute was only a cow's
horn with three or four holes in it. and
their harp or lyre had only three strings.
The (?recian lyre had only seven strings
and was very small, being held in one
hand. The Jewish trumpets, that made
the walls of Jericho fall, were only rani's
horns; their (lute was the same as the
Egyptian; they had no other instrumental
music but by percussion, of which
the greatest boast was the psaltery, a
small triangular harp or lyre, with wire
strings,, and struck with an iron needle
or stick; their sackbut was something
like a bagpipe; the timbrel was a tambourine,
and the dulcimer was a horizontal
harp with wire strings and struck
with a stick like the psaltery. Thcv had
no written music, and had scarcely a
vowel in their language, and yet, according
to Josephus, they had two hundred
thousand musicians playing at the dedi<

ome Interesting Fact* Concerning the Men
Who .Stand Clone to the Chief Executive.
Visitors who from curiosity or business
ave called at the White House must have
een impressed by the courteous yet systemaic
manner with which they were received
nd escorted through the mansion. The
entlemen whose dutv it is to receive all perons
coming to the White House are Colonel
3. S. Denmore, Mr. John T. Kickara ana jar.
'. F. Pendel. and they have occupied their
resent i>osition.s through the various adrainit
rat ions since and even during the war. Mr.
'endel 'was President Lincoln 8 body-guard;
aw him to his carnage the fatal night on
vhich he visited Ford's theatre, and he now
as in his possession the blood-stained coat
rhich Mr. Lincoln wore on that memorble
occasion. There is not a public man in
America to-day who does not know
nd who Is not known by, these genlemcn,
and the reminiscences of public and
ncial life which they can recount wotdd 1111
. congressional volume. During the weary yet
the ivnr thrniicrh fcho moro
leoceful times of Grant's administration;
virile Hayes held the reins of governnent,
and when Garfield was shot, it was
hese men who stood in the executive manion,
welcoming the advent of each new adninistration,
towing at itb departure, and reviving
ltoth martyrs through its portals.
During that long, hot and never to be forgotten
summer, when President Garfield lay
between "two worlds," the nation became
iware of the deadly malarial influence which
lung about the White House. But all through
;hat period these three men never' deserted
;heir posts for a single day, although each
>110 was suffering intensely'. In conversation
A-ith the writer, Colonel Densmore said:
"It is impossible todescribe the tortures I
lave undergone. To be compelled to smile
md treat the thousands of visitors who come
tiere daily with courtesy when one is in the
greatest agony requires a tremendous effort.
A'.l that summer I had terrible headaches,
heart-burn and a stifling sensation that sometimes
took away my breath. My appetite
was uncertain aiid I felt severe pains in the
small of my back. I was under the doctor's
care, with strict instructions not to go out of
the house, but I remained on duty, nevertheless.
You would be surprised to know the
amount of quinine I took; on some days it
was as much as sixteen grains.
"Anrl was Mr. Rickard badly off, too?"
"I should think he was. Why. time and
again we have picked him up and laid him
on the mantel, nere in the vestibule, he was
so used up."
"Yes, exclaimed Mr. Rickard, "I was so
weak I could not rise after lying down without
help, and could only walk with the aid of
two canes, and then in a stooping position.
Oh, we have been in a pretty Dan condition
liorn oil r\f net
"And yet you are all the embodiment of
health," said the writer, as he looked at the
three bright and vigorous men before him.
"Oh, yes," said Mr. Rickard, "we have
not known what sickness was for more than
a year." *
"Have you some secret way of overcoming
the malaria and its attendant horrors f'
* "I think wo have a most certain way," replied
Colonel Densmore, "but it is no secret.
You see, about two years ago my wife began
to grow blind, and I was alarmed at her
condition. She finally became so she could
not tell whether a [>erson was white or black
at a distance of ten feet. One of her lady
friends advised her to try a certain treatment
that had done wonders for her, and
to make a long story short, she did so and
was completely cured. , This induced me
to try the same means for my own restoration,
and as soon as I found it was doing me
good I recommended it to my associates, and
we have all been aired right here in
the stronghold of malaria, and kept
in jjerfect health ever since by
means of Warner's Safe Cure. Now I am not
a l>eliever in'medicines in general, but I do not
hesitate to say that I am satisfied I should liave
died of Blight's disease of the kidneys before
this had it not l>oen for this wonderful remedy.
Indeed. I use it as a household medicine and
give it to my children whenever they have any
ailments."
"Yes," exclaimed Mr. Pendel. "I use it in
my family all the while and have found it
the most efficient remedy we have ever employed.
I know of very many public men
who are using it to-day and they all speak
well of it."
"I weigh ICO pounds to-day," said Mr. Rickard,
"and when my physicians told me over
a year ago I coulu not hope to recover I
weighed l?i jxjunds. Under such influences
you cannot wonder that I coudsider this the
Lest medicine before the American people."
The above statements from these gentlemen
need no comments. Thev are voluntary and
outspoken expressions from sources which
are the highest in the laud. Were there the
slightest question regarding their authenticity
they would not 1x3 made public, but as they
furnish such valuable trutns for all who are
suffering, we unhesitatingly publish them for
the good of all.

A .lliniMtcr ExpreNMet HimNcIf Forcibly.
It will Ik.' seen by the following letter from
Rev. Chakles Pike, of Wateruury, Conn.,
that men oftentimes representing the highest
callings are brought by disease and sickness to
a level with all classes. Medical and professional
men generally dislike to countenance
proprietary medicines except in extreme
cases. However, the case or Mr. Pike is an
exception to the general rule. He believes it
a duty to suffering humanity to publish to the
world the merits of a good article as well as
to instruct a few spiritually:
I regard it as a duty as well as a privilege to
give my testimony in support of so valuable
an article as Hunt's Remedy. I liave used it
with great satisfaction, aud consider it the
very best medicine in use. I am fifty-seven
(57) years of age, and though a native of
Boston have spent many years in the South
and a number in Connecticut. From the nature
of my calling I am constantly changing
al>out. Two years ago I contracted a weakness
of the kidneys, which was apparently
made worse by drinking the water in the different
places where I resided. For a long
time I suffered severely, and used many socalled
cures, but none of them did me a particle
of good. Finally I purchased a bottle of
Hunt's Re redy of Mr. Laker, the druggist,
with the guarantee that it would help me, as
it afterward proved. It is now my purpose
to speak well of a medicine that has yielded
results so gratifying to me. I sincerely believe
that any one who will use it will indorse
my statement. I propose to express ^ljiself
honestly. tt.ul efully yours,
Rev. Charles Pike.
