The longest livers are the parson and the farmer; among the shortest are the butcher and the publican. Tho length of individual life, however, is governed by heredity, which often fails some of the members of a family famed for longevity, by occupation or environment, and by habits. It has often been remarked that ex- cessive eating—especially flesh eating —kills as many people as excessive drinking. This accounts for the posi- tion' or the butcher and the publican •in the death -rate of'trades and profes- sions. The parson is not a big eater, nor is he a drinker of alcohol, but what of the farmer?' In his case there are numerous safety -valves --the ride on horseback, the drives to markets and • fairs, the day's shooting, and the al- most continuous life in the open air. Our bodies are the most perfect, and the most delicate, of all pieces of mechanism, yet we take less care to adjust and repair them for regular action than we take for the machines we construct. We cram them with the wrong foods, or we fill them too full; we abuse them, and refuse to deny ' ourselves. We attend to our horses and cattle more carefully than we attend to our- selves, and attribute disease to any cause but the right one—self inflic- tion. Thus lives are wasted at sixty which ought to have been twenty years longer, while the average dying age of forty -throe ought to be seventy. Life depends, too, not only upon the temperate habits, but upon its being lived with a purpose --and that pur- pose a good one. Pure air ie the first condition of life, yet most people ignore it, or place it second to comfort, by closing their windows at night. The sedentary worker, like the mauual worker in an impure: atmosphere, must make up his loss by passing abundance of pure air through the lunge. He will inhale five times more air at a paoe of four miles an hour than when sitting at his desk. and every muscle should be regularly exercised. If a healthy man learns and obeys the laws of health, he will remain healthy until he is worn out. Thus he must esteem at their proper value pure air, exercise, temperance in eating and drinking, and the intriduction of use- fulness and contentment into his daily life, MARVELLOUS BIBLES. Four Wonderful Copies of the Scrip- tures Are Here Described. The largest Bible ig existence is in the Royal Library at Stockholm. The covers are made of solid planks, four inches thick, and the pages each measure a yard in length. It is esti- mated that a hundred asses' skins must have been used to furnish the 309 parchment leaves of this colossal book. It is considered priceless. A well-to-do New Yorker is the proud possessor of a manuscript Bible written by his only son, a cripple. He could only work about two hours a day, so he toole over two years to com- plete his task. It does not contain a single error or slip, for if error or slip occurred the youth discarded the whole page. The verses and headings are all ,in red ink, and the whole is beautifully written. In a house in Grafton Street, Lon- don, there is a shorthand Bible which was written at least two centuries be- fore Pitman was born. It was written. by an apprentice in the days of James IT., when to possess' -a "common or garden Bible" was rather daugerous.. .A. lady in the United"States. oherish- es.0 Bible probably as old as the one written in shorthand, which an ances- tress baked In a loaf of broad when a house-to-house search was going to he made for ;etrray=copies of the Scrip. tures. The soldiers came to search the house, but it is not a matter of wonder that they failed to find the book, which now, looking pretty old, is the American lady's chief treasure. 3, The first attempt to transport the mails by air ds credited Id the Brit- ish, under whose auspices the experi- meat was made with varying success in India in 1911. e' teaereee.ea.MTEMPee.e..-0-71:" ifrie fini hint." touch �►f s&i ct. on to many a bre, k`f a a i cup of i.'

This suicidal habit may cause lockjaw and women are warned to stop it. A. few drops of a drug called freez- one applied directly upon a sore corn gives dutch relief and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts out without pain.

With the hope of protecting the orthodox Russian Jaws in Philadelph- ia from further ravages of the influen- za epidemic two Ilebrews were mar- ried at the first line of graves in the Jewish cemetery a few months ago. More than twelve hundred Russian Jews watched the rabbi perform the wedding ceremony. 'When the couple were pronotntcetl man and wife, the orthodox among the spectators filed solemnly past the couple and made them presents of money -in sums ranging from ten cents to a hundred dollars, according to the means and cirenutatanees of the donor, Until more than one thousand dollars had beau given. After the last offering the bride and bridegroom walked to the greensward farther from the graves, `vhero a wed- ding feast was quickly spread from the two truckloads of food telt °there of the faithful had provided. Tho marriage in a cemetery, with the idea of warding oft the ravages of on epidemic, is a revival of a custom that has prevailed for hundreds of years among the Jews In the heart of Russia. When Russia wae,ewopt by cholera several centuries a9Q, Jews died by the hundreds, Panic seized ,thein, and they called a council of eld- ers and rabble, who decided that the attention of God would be called to the affliction of thelr fellows If the most humble Mali and woman among thein should join in Marriage 111 the pr6s- enee of the dead. s0 they asked a young 1na11 and a Woolen, who were unknown to eaele ether' and who were without wealth to Aunty In order to Nave their fellows from the cholera scotu'ge, The yoiteg »eople agreed, and the acrelnony was performed, Aoeording to the tradition the ravages of the tlioler'a subecled Within three clays, *enlarges Liaintent Cutoff 9randluf0, . .. YOUR FRIENDS, THE BIRDS. Canadians Are Realizing More and More the Value of Bird life. Bird Life is one of'th6 country's greatest treasures; not only for the beauty and song, but as regards plain, everyday utility. Like many of our other bleesings, birds are truly appreciated only when absent. One of the_most pleasant fea- tures of going from the city into the country is the greater number .of birds seen and heard. The country resident when"he moves to a city usually miss- es his feathered friends nearly as much as he does the "home folks." --Certain colonists in Australia' can testify to the usefulness of birds. A tract of thirty square smiles that had been fertile• became little better than a desert as a result of killing off the small birds. Without the help of these insect -destroyers, it became almost impossible to live in that section and nine -tenths of the people had to move. Again and again it has been proved that birds are the farmers' best friends, How many corn -grower's owe their success to the birds! Ono man in particular was being literally ruined by ravages of grasshoppers, when a friend induced him to build attractive bird -houses in his fields. Result, pros- perity. It has been calculated that one swal- low devours 6,000 flies a day. Think what an ally to home sanitation we have here. Itis stated that our coun- try loses annually at least $10,000,000 In clops its a result of insects' work. What would the loss be were it not for the birds? "Protect th birds" has become a nation-wide slogan, and we all can do our bit in this work. Lr various places school children have been organized into protective societies. The young- sters do good work and enjoy it. The bird -killing boy is rapidly becoming , an "extinct animal." - The Goddess of the Wood. • E'en dearer than the thought of Spring „ When Wintry frosts gleam cold, Is this glad light of Spring herself That doth the earth enfold. No radiant dream of paradise, Were half so wondrous fair, As yonder low new leafing beech— The sunbeams in her hair. I think the great stns worships her, For as he smiles above Among her frail, translucent leaves. He lays his gifts of love, A tree no more for sun -adored• - The beech, as goddess pale, Enshrined within the quiet wood, Unfolds her mystic veil. Not Much Chancel "Conscription has, maybe, saved the country," growled the soldier; "but what I object to is' the company it drives a mean into. I'm a plumber by trade, an honest workman, yet I'm compelled to suffer the society of such professionals as a lawyer, a minister, and an auctioneer." "No' a bad selection, Jock," remarked his friend. "Oh, maybe no' in a way; but when the minister and the lawyer start an argument on Egyptian law in the mid- dle or the nicht across half a dozen beds, wi' the blessed auctioneer as umpire, what chance 'teas even a plumber o' stoppin' the gas Leak?"
