"What occupation tends most to proJong
life?" asked a Star reporter of the
"^hief mathematiciau for one of the great
life insurance companies.
"That is a difficult question, he replied.
"I can only answer it by refer- '
ring to the occupations of persons whose j
lives are and have been iniuied by us. In- |
asmuch as they number several hundreds I
of thousands thev will afford good
basis from which to draw conclusions on 1
the subject. According to this evidence
it appears that commercial travelers and
agents live longer than men in any other
kind of business, notwithstanding the
hazards which attend transportation oy
rail and water. Next to them come
dentists, teachers and professors, including
music teachers."
"And who after them?"
"Next to them in point of longevity
are 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 trifle longer than butchers and
marketmen. Lawyers and jewelers follow,
and they are succeeded on the list
by merchants, peddlers, milkmen and
pawn brokers. Then come gardeners,
laborers, civil engineers and cauvassers.
Perhaps the treatment which canvassers
are apt to receive in the ordinary course [
of their business shortens their lives."
\ "Where do newspaper men come inv
,40b, they don't live as long as any of
the people I have mentioned. Even bookkeepers
and bank cashiers, as well as
artists and architects are ahead of them.
They come in next, with the printers,
physicians and gentlemen who are not
engaged in any active employment. Then
follow the apothecaries and photographers,
and after tbeia in order bakers,
cigar makers, real estate agents, army
officers and soldiers, liquor dealers, mariners
and naval officers. Shortest lived
of all seem to be the auctioneers, boarding
house keepers, barbers and drivers."
"Do you take into consideration the
question of a customer's occupation in
granting a policy?"
"Not unless it is more hazardous than

The Bluest of Balloons.
James Glaisber states that the balloon
constructtd in 1861 by Eugene Godard
was the largest ever made. Its capacity
was nearly half a million cubic feet.
The air in this fire balloon was heated by
an eighteen foot stove, weighing with
the chimney, 980 pounds. This furnace
was fed with straw, and the * 'car" consisted
of a gallery surrounding it. Two
ascents of this balloon were made from
Cremorne Gardens, London, on Jaly
20th and July 28th. ISC4. The"Geant,"
Nadar'g colossal balloou. contained 215,363
cubit feet of gas, and raised thirty,
five persons at one time, This balloon
was also remarkable as having attached
to it a regular two-story house for a car.
Its ascent on Suuda^, the I8th of Octotober,
1863, was witnessed by nearly
half a million of persons. * After passing
over the eastern part of France,
Belgium and Holland, the "Geant"' suffered
a disastrous descent in Hanover
on the dav after it started on its peril
ous journey. In 1873, a balloon of
400,000 feet of cubic capacity was made
to enable Mr. Wise to cross the Atlantic,
but it uuiortuoately burst. The longest
iistauce traveled in a balloon in the
shortest time was 1150 in twenty hours,
by Messrs. Wise-and LaMountain, the
route taken being from St. Louis in the
iirection of New York.?Yankee Blade.
A Title for tlte President.
The question, "What shall be the title
of the President of the United States?'1
according to the St. Louis Qlobe-Democrat,
was one which elicited no little
discussion among the members of the
irst Congress, and it is said that the in
Iiuguration of Washington was delayed
leveral days by consideration and debate
lb to what should be his title. 4'His
Sighness, the President of the United
)t?tes of America and Protector of Their
jiberties," was dwoussed and rejected.
'His Excellency"" "Jeasalsc proposed and
klso rejected. After numerous suggesions,
it was finally decided that the
Jhief Executive Officer -should be oficially
known as the ^Pnesidentof tho
Jnited States."
The title Excellency, as applied" to the
Resident, was of later growth than the
ime of Washington, wiio was greatly
elieved when Congres* decided the guesiou
by giving hiia uo title, as he was

and in less than half

thing to be seen after
leaving the train was

mean ?n electric car by that name.
Doubtless if Governor Bradford and his
'partners in distress" could comeback
to Plymouth and see that 'fbroomstick
train" as it buzzes and splutter along,
they would believe more firmly in witches
than ever did Cotton Mather or the
Salemites.
We go at once to Pilgrim Hall, and
there are brought face to face with the
old days of 1650. The tables, chairs,
iron pots and various belongings of the
Pilcrims make them very real to us.
Probably they weie prosaic enough to
eat when they could get anything for
that purpose. One is impressed with
the fighting qualities of those earnest
men. Sworda are plentiful, beginning
with Miles Standish's "trusty sword of
Damascus, curved at the point and inscribed
with its mystical Arabic sentence,"
down to swords that are of no
great renown. The old guns and the
other implements of warfare showed that
the Pilgrims did not confine their reading
to the verse which says: "But whosoever
shall smite thee on the right
cheek turn to him the other also." Tuey
must have compared Scripture with
Scripture, and probaby saw the passage
which says: "And he that hath no
sword, let him sell his garment and buy
one."
Tbey were men who were determined
to plant a colony, and they were of real
fighting stock. They could praise God
in their church on the hill with their
governor bradfo!
jtuds in easv reach, six cannon on the l
roof and a vigilant sentinel ready to
give the alarm on the first approach of
danger. They believed that the way to
have peace is to be prepared for war.
In Pilgrim Hall one may 6ee the oldest
State document in the United States,
brought over in the Fortune in 1621.
Until 1S83 it was not known to be in
existence. There is also a commission
issued by Oliver Cromwell in 1654. The
signature was stolen in 1848 by some
mean fellow, but the fac simile of the
signature put over the torn corner is in a
bold hand and worthy of the Lord Protector.
One sees all 6orts of relics, some
of which have but little to do with the ,
history of Plymouth colony.
If you want a piece of Plymouth
rock you can easily get it. The custodian
of the hall has pieces that were
chipped from the under side of the lock '
some years ago. A piece as big as your ;
fist can be had for $10 and little bits ,
from five cents up, according to size.
But we must see the rock itself. A ;
-short walk brings us to that historic

been raised from its original position. '
The rock has something of a roving dis-!
position. Perhaps the pressing foet of
the Pilgrims communicated in some mysterious
way a spirit of peregrination. In
1834 a piece of the rock that was acci- .
dentally split off in 1774 was moved to ;
the ground in lront of Pilgrim Hall and
there carefully guarded by an iron fenoe, '
but afterward was returned and cemented
to its place, and there it now stands on
Water street protected by a granite can - ,
opy, in the attic of which peacefully repose
the bona of some of the Pilgrims
who died during the first year and were
puried on Cole's Hill. By the way, it
was (juite in keeping with historic aeao
ciutions that the rock should have shown
'^Separatist" tendencies.
'Cole's Hill near the water is a spot of
melancholy interest. Here it was that
those who died during the first winter
were buried, and in the spring their resting
place was planted so that the Indians
could not tell where the graves were aud
would Dot know how the little company
of brave spirits had been depleted.
Not far away is the site of the first

up to Burying Hill. One passes the site
of Johu Aldeu's and Priscilla's first

comes to that sightly spot which is
thickly covered with graves and is
known as Burying Hill. Here are the
graves of Carver and Bradford and
others who came over in the Mayflower.

Duxbury, Captain's Hill, Cape Cod and
Mahomet Hills.
The Courthouse is nearby. There are
to be seen some of the old legal papers
of the Pilgrims. It is interesting to read
the original document, which relates to
the possession of a red heifer by Miles
Standisb, Miles having bought out the

shares of other parties, afterward came
into ownership of the entire animal.
There is also a deed given by John Alden
in his own handwriting. But more interesting
still is the original charter of
the colony which camt, over in 1629, together
with the seal, a ponderous thing
about three-quarters of an inch thick
and about four inches in diameter, with
the leather-covered box in which the
precious document was sent.
But there remains one sight which the
miiot- r?At nmif- nchftfAVPr pJaa hfl
fails to see, and that is the National
monument to the Forefathers. It is on
a commanding hill, from which one has
a magnificent view of the harbor, embracing
the strip of sand which serves as
a break-water, the points of Saquish and
the Gurnet, and Clark's Island, where
the inflexible Pilgrims spent a bleak
December Sabbath rather than desecrate
the sacred day by explorations however

imperative the case might be. Here on
this hill is the place of all places for the
monument. It is easily accessible to the
visitor, being but a short distance from
the business part of the village.
The monument is eighty-one feet high. !
The central figure, Faith, hold9 the j
Bible in one hand and with the other I
points upward. It is the largest granite
statue in the world, being thirty-six feet ;
high. It is an inspiration to look up .
,into that face with its expression of radi- '
ant hope. The hope of the Pilgrims is
there without their tinge of stern sadness.

the sides of^the pedestal are most exquisitely

to be proud -of that monument. It commemorates
a slender enterprise that was
charged with a mighty -spirit. Why
were the few weak and weary men and

December, not swept away and all theii

"Well, chile, yo' shuh doan know

"No, Ben," I replied, and blnshed at
the fib. Would it do him any good to
know that I had one or two pef'signs"
which I cherished and believed in implicitly?
He would not understand that
to me superstition was "the poetry of

I obeyed him.

"When de white lady ask too many

of wisdom he ended his seeming solilo?
How sorry I was that I had interrupted
him. I coaxed him to-continue,
but hewasnot to be coaxed. That
evening we were all sitting on the veranda
when Ben said:
"Who i9 de daughters of the Revolution
yo' talk so much aboutf" and we
each gave our views of the question
and explained it simply, so that he
would understand.
"An' must yo' prove that yo' ancestors

perplexing question. His wife, the

aristocratic blood. This women, this

Fish Ten Thonsaad Tears Old.
In making railroad tunnels, cuts, etc.*
and in linking wells and pits in Nevada,
Utah, and Arizona, salt strata are often
struck nt varying depths, sometimes as
much as a hundred yards beneath the surlace.
Huudreds of fish, well preserved,
are found in blocks of this pure rock
salt. These salt fields are supposed to
occupy what was ooce the bottom of a
lake thirty miles long, fifteen miles wide
and many hundred feet deep. The fish
found resemble the pike and pickerel
speciw, and are wholly unlike the fish
found in the lakes and rivers of that
region at the present time. The specimens
found are not petrified, but are as
perfectly preserved in the flesh as though
but recently frozen in a block of ice.
When taken out and exposed to trie neat
of the suo they become as hard as blocks
of wood. Occasionally workmen at the
salt works located in "the basin1' have
attempted to eat thsse antediluvian relics.
Men of learning who have investigated
the matter say that these salt preserved
fish are at least 10,000 years old.?St.

Talce Off Their Shoes.
A writer in a New York medical
journal declares that shoes and stockings
are among the worst enemies of health,
and thinks that the contact of the foot
with old mother earth would do more
than anything else to restore our degenerate
race to its pristine vigor. He says
that people who wear shoes are notoriously
inferior to savages and the lower
animals in power of recuperation from
bodily injury, and asserts that the children
of the poor are healthier and hardier
than the children of the iich because
they are so much oftener barefoot. Physicians
have often recommended bare
feet as a preventive of croup. That the
children enjoy barefooted freedom admits
of no question. Then take oil their
