Ages In the Animal Kingdnm.
A, great variance as to length of life
appears among different animals. Some
insects live for only a few hours, while
fish, elephants and turt'es are fre
quently centenarians. The averag.
life of the mosquito is three days.
Toads usually live to the age of about
fifteen years, while carp have been
known to reach 150. Chickens live
from twelve to fifteen years, dogs to
the age of ten and occasionally fifteen
and parrots to extreme age. These
birds have been known to pass the
age of 200 years. Turtles are also fre
quently centenarians, as are storks,
and elephants are said to reach the
age of 300 years. Whales have been
known to live for 400 years.
Postage Stamps.
The largest postage stamp ever is
sued was a five cent stamp of the
United States intended for newspaper
postage. It was 4 by 2 Inches in size.
The smallest postage stamp, on the
other hand, was a twenty-five pfennig
stamp of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, is
sued in IS50. It was one-fourth the
jize of an ordinary postage stamp. In
cidentally It has been calculated that
about 13.000 different kinds of postage
stamps have been issued by the varl
ous countries of the earth.
Fate.
A strange comedy and tragedy was
woven into the lives of Ibsen and
Bjornson. As young men they were
great friends; then politics flung them
apart; they quarreled and never met
for years and years. trange fate
brought the children ol these two
great writers together, and Bjornson's
daughter married Ibsen's only child.
The fathers met after a quarter of a
century of separation at the wedding
of their children.
Age and Years.
The man of forty must not think
himself old. He is only beginning real
ly to live. A man's usefulness is gone
only when he ceases to grow. Age is
not a matter of increasing years so
much as of waning enthusiasm.--Mil
waukee Journal.

Teacher-Now, you have all studied
about liquid measurs, and I think you

what measure treats of inches, feet and

The Lobsters.
"Well," said the first lobster in a

"Get dressed for dinner," the second
lobster answerd, yawning.

Smoking Contests.
"Smoking contests are as old as the
hills," said an antiquary. "Go to Brit
tany, take in a Breton 'pardon,' and
you'll see a smoking contest sandwich
ed in between the dancing matches
and the wrestling bouts."
The old man took- out his notebook.
"The first smoking contest of which
we have any authentic record," he said,
"came off at Oxford, the English seat
f learning, in 1723. The conditions
were that you should smoke three
unces of tobacco without drinking or
leaving the stage, the person first fin
Ished to get a prize of,12 shillings.
"Hearne says-I copied it down here:
"'Mfany tryed, and 'twas thought
that a journeyman taylor of St. Pe
er's-in-the-East would have been the
victor, -he smoking faster than and be
lg many pipes before the rest, but at
last he was so sick .that 'twas thought
he would have dyed, and an old man
that had been a builder and smoked
gently came off the conqueror, smok
ing the three ounces quite out, and he
told me that after it he smoked four
or five pipes the same evening.'"
A German Duel.
A young officer quarreled with a
friend who was a solicitor. Hot words
were exchanged, and the office,r struck
his friend. Here the matter might
have ended-there was somethIng to
forgive and regret on both sides. But
the otlicer's regiment heard of the af
fair, and a court of honor decided that
he suust challenge the civilian. So a
duel by command took place, and the
young lawyer fell mortally wounded
by his friend. When the officer re
turned home he was arrested on the
information of the president of the
court of honor which had forced him
to fight. He was tried by an ordinary
tribunal and eantenced to three
months' imprisontnent. The president
of the court of honor knew he was
urging the officer to an Illegal deed
when be insisted on t .e duel, but hon
or, as he understood it, must be satis
fled at all cost-Berlin Letter.
The Cigar Mouthpiece.
A rich Russian banker had been dis
coverediur-dered in his house in St.
Petersburg, says a writer in the Green
Bag. There was no clew, but In the
room there was found a cigar mouth
piece containing part of a cigar of such
an expensive kind that It was sup
posed the banker himself had been
smoking it just before the crime had
been committed. On close examina
tion the mouthpiece Was found to be
worn away by the teeth of its owner,
but the dead man's teeth did not fit
the indentation. The servants were
one by one examined, and It was then
found that the hollows of the mouth
piece compared exactly to the forma
tion of the front teeth of the cook, to
whom no suspicion had been attached.
He afterw~ard confessed to the murder.

Taleyrand as Cook
Be a cook-some sort of cook, even a
ship's cook. IRemember Tallcyrand.
The British authorities gave him twen
ty-four hours' notice to quit London,
and he embarked on a Danish vessel
for America. The vessel was held up
at sea by an Euglish frigate. A
sezrching party waA sent on board.
Taleyrand pleaded with the captain
not to declare him, as lie had no liking
f-r the Tower of London. "I will pass
you off as the ship's cook," said the
officer. "There is nothing else." After
some wry faces the prine-- consented
and with a very ill grace assumed the
cotton cap, kitchen apron, carving
knife and other appendages in keeping
with his new office. When the English
officer demanded if there were any
French passengers on board the cap
tain replied, "Yes, one poor devil of a
limping French cook." Being immedi
ately called up for inspection, Talley
rand made his appearan'ce, saucepan in
hand and with such a piteous counte
nance that the Englishman laughed
heartily and consented not to make a
captive of him.-New York Press.
Another Triumph of Art.
A young New York artist says that
he was in Vermont on a sketching trip
one summer. One day while strolling
along a pretty. lane he overtook a par
ticularly picturesque little fellow who
was sauntering along with a fishing
pole on his shoulder and a string of
small fish in his hand. IHe looked so
much the part of the small country boy
of poetry and fiction that the artist de
cided he would like to make a sketch
of him, and after considerable negotia
tion this was arranged for. the lad, in
accordance with directions, perching
himself on a rail fence. As the artist
worked away at his sketch an old coun
tryman came down the lane and stood
looking over his shoulder.
"By gum! Thet certainly beats all
hemlock!" the old fellow presently ex
claimed admiringly.
"Like the picture, do you y" the artist
asked, with a pleased flush.
"Oh, 'tain't thet. though it ain't so
bad. What I meant was the way you
manage to keep thet boy quiet so
long."-New York Herald.
To Tell a Fashionable Restaurant.
"When I was young," said an old
bachelor. "at all the fashionable res
taurants you wrote your order. That
was the way to distinguish the really
fashionable restaurant. You wrote your
order there. whereas in the common
one you gave it to the waiter orally.
Ordering is a difficult matter. It is a
thing. especially when one has guests,
that one is likely to get flustered over;
hence I always liked to write my or
der. It kept me cool. But a waiter,
standing over me, suggesting dishes I
didn't want. hurrying me, had the
power to rattle me completely. But
fashionable restaurants no longer are
to be distinguished by this writing
business. Writing has disappeared
from them. They are to be distin
guished now by their French menus
bothersome things that call a sweet
bread a ris de veau, a potpie a vol au
vent and a leg of mutton a gigot"
Philadelphia Bulletin.
A City of the Past.
Rimini is full of associations with
thrilling people of the past It was
here that Caesar crossed the Rubicon.
We crossed ourselves on the very
bridge his feet had touched. It was
here, too, that St. Anthony came to
preach and, finding no people who
would give heed to him, turred in de
spair and preached to the fishes, who
raised their heads out of the water to
listen to him. There is a chapel which
marks the spot where- he stood by the
water. In Rimini lived Paolo and
Francesca, the tragedy of whose love
every one knows.-Travel Magazine.
The Grand Canyon.
Vast as the bed of a vanished ocean,
deep as Mount Washington riven from
its apex to its base, the grandest can
yon In the world lay glitterin~g below
In the sunlight like a submerged con
tinent. At my very feet, so near that
I could have leaped at once into eter

of over 0,000 feet-not by a narrow
gorge, hut by a gulf within whose
cavernous immensity Niagara would
be Indiscernible and whole cities could
be tossed like pebbles.--E. W. G. gWes

Like the Mythical Dragon.
In the Malay archipelago is a reptile
much like the mythical dragon. It has
false ribs that extend the loose skin
and form Its wings. There is also e
frog with spreading -feet that makes a
parachute which enables it to flit from
ree to tree, and a flying lemur that can
spread out its whole body like an um
brella and leap and fly a hundred feet
at a time, from the top of one tree to
another.
IGold and Silver Gospels.
"The Gold and Silver Gospels" is the
name of a very peculiar book now pre

was printed, by whom or what were
the methods emiployed are questions
which have great interest for the curi

Ireland's Coast Cliffs.

of Donegral. at the northwest of Ire

variety and grandeur of the cliffs are

Weight of a Lon.
"What does a lion weigh?" Ask that
question of any acquaintance and see
what he will say. Those who best
know the look of the king of beasts
and how small his lithe body really is
will probably come- furthest from the
truth. About 300 to 350 pounds Is a
usual estimate. But this is below the
mark. A full grown lion 'will tip the
scales at no less than 500 pounds.
Five hundred and forty pounds Is the
record for an African lion. His bone
is solid and heavy as ivory. The tiger
runs the lion very close. A. Bengal
tiger killed by an English officer scaled
520 pounds. A tiger of this size has,
however, considerably greater muscu
lar strength than the biggest lion.
