A forty Days’ Fast.

Since the “Tanner starvation’’ began, some preity tall stories have been told res- pecting abstinence from fecd. The fellow- ing isamong the number. It is clipped

from the Boston Trareller :—

“Some ten: years ago, Dr. Mayo G, Smith, of Newburyport, fasted for forty days, and during all that time tasted neither fuod ner water. He attended to his regular business, visiled his friends, and made no change except in fasting from his usutl routine of hfe. After the first week, all feelings of hunger and thirst subsided, and said, at the end of his forty cays’ fast, he felt strong enough to fast forty days longer. He believed there is nntriment in the atmosphere to sustain human lifein a healthy person, indefinitely. His fast took place in the winter, when people consume more food than at, any other seasun. He was inthe habit of cattiug a hole in the ice, when the thermometer was below zero, and plunging iu naked, and of walking ten or twe've iniles afterward.

On one occasion he plunged into the river Merriniac,,and in climbing up aship’s cable, the weather was so cold that the iron links of the cable took the skin from his hands and feet.

He is now settled in Colorade Springs, and works on a farm. Frequently he is in the fields during the heat of summer with nothing on above his pantaloons, and-his skin defies the heat. In every athletic ex- he excels. Though now nearly 60 years of age he is a giant in physical strength, can swim as far, work as long, and live on as little, as most men. During the past twenty five years he has tested his endurance in a great variety of ways, and has never failed to carry out anything he has undertaken.”

—— = «= -- +e ’ Buoyancy of Water. QQEFUL HINTS TO OLD AND YOUNG SHOULD Bi REMEMBERED.

(From the Trenton CN. J.) Crazette, )

Another terrible steamboat slaughter ! Presence of mind and a slight knowledge of the specific gravity of the human body would have saved much of this frightful luss of life. There was loose weod enough about the boat to have floated ten times the number of passengers ov the ill-fated. vessel if it had been used with judgment. The human body weighs abeat a pound in the water, and a single chair will carry two grown persons. That is, would keep their heads above water, which is all that gs necessary when it is a question of life er death. The burning vessel was close tg shore, the water was calm an& warm, and al. these passengers might easily have jumped overboard and paddled laughingly ashere, if they had only possessed and used the simple knowledge that one fiuger plaged upon a stool, or a chair, era small box, or a piece of board, would easily keep the head above water, while the feet and the other hand might be used as pad- dies to propel toward the shore. It is not at all pecessary te know how to swim te be able to keep from drewning in this way. A little experience ef the bueyant power of matter, and faith in it, is all that is requir- ed. We have seen a small boy, who could not swim a stroke, propel himself back and forth acress a deep, wide pond, by means of a beard that weuld not sustain five pounds. In fact, that sometime small boy is now writing this. Children and all others should have practice in the sustain- ing power of water. In nine cases out of ten the knowledge that what will sustain a

pound weight is ail that is necessary to keep !

one's head above water will serve better in emergencies than the greatest expertness as aswiumer. A person unfamiliar with the buoyant power ef water will naturally try to climb on top of the floating object upon which he tries to save himself. If it is large enough that is all right. But it is generally net large enough, and half of a struguling group are often drowned in the desperate scramble of a life and death struggle to climb on top of a fleating ob- ject, net large enough to keep them all en- tirely above water. This often happens when pleasure boats capsize. All imme- mediately want to get out of the water on tep of the overturned or half-filled boat and all are drowned except those whem ihe wrecked craft will wholly bear up. -If they would simply trast the water to sustain ninety-nine hundredths ef the weight of their bedies, and the disabled beat the other hundredth, they might ail be saved under most circumstances. An overturned or water-filled wooden boat will sustain more people in this way then it will carry, It weuld keep the heads above water of as many people as could get their hands on the gunwale. Thgse are simple facts, easily learned, and may some day save yaur life <P ©

lA Pretty Romance About a Hair.

The romance of a hair comes from Vi- enna. A poor girl with beautiful hair went

toabarber to sellit. He tried to make a close bargain, saying hair was plentiful this year, and declared he could not give eight florins. The little maidens eyes filled with tears, and she hesitated a iaoment while | threading her fingers through her chestnut locks, Finally she threw herself into a chair and said, ‘‘ Take it quickly.” The barber was about to eut off the tresses when agentleman sitting in one of the chairs interrupted bis», and spoke to the girl.

‘* My child,” said he, “‘ why do you sell your beautiful hair ?’—*‘My mother has been nearly five months ill. [ cannot work noazh to support us,”

“Everything has been sold or pawned, and there is not a penny in the house.” ‘* No, no, my child, if that is the case I will buy your hair and give you a hundred florins fer it.” .He gave the poor girl the note, the sight of which dried her tears, and he teok up the barber's shears. Tak- iug the locks in his hand he selected the longest hair, cut it off and put it carefully in his pecket beek, thus paying 100 florins fora single hair. He then teok the poor girl’s address, in case he shonld want te buy another at the samerate. This chari- table gentleman is mentioned as the head of a large industrial establishment in Vienna. -—

One of two things must be true of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. Either he ix a strangely inconsistent man, or else he has an uahappy teudency to put himself inte compromising positions, Of his utterances in his last Fourth of July sermon, which gave rise to so much comment, and his ex- planations of them in his sermon of last Sunday, the New York Times says: He does not deny having said that the story of the Fall was a ‘‘gigantic lie,” or that he did not believe in the Atonement, but he endeavers to create the impres- sion that he is too sincere a Christian to be capable of helding any such heretical views. His present expla- nation is mo more successful than was his former explanation ef his letters. In fact, it is simply a guarded and ingenious repetition of his Fourth of July sermon, clothed in language which is meant te cen- ceal the real substance of that sermon. Had he been incerrectly reported by the journal which has so long been devoted to his interests, nothing would have been simpler than for him to say: ‘I did not call the story of the Fall ‘a gigantic lie,’ and | never said ‘I don’t believe in the Atonement.’” He has not made this de- nial, and thus virtually concedes that he used the language imputed to him.
