Every school-boy is familiar with the story of William Tell, who shot an apple from off his son's head, at the command of a tyrant : bnt files that a similar fAn L i., . uu -r.,lx UiUil" tanly performed by a reckless father at Speyer, a town situated upon the Rhine in Bavaria. It seems that a weaver, who is known as the best shot in the district where rifle practice is very popular, and markmanship very highlv esteemed, be thought himself of a crowning proof of his unerring aim. He thereupon led his son, a lad of 11 years, to a certain spot, and paced off seventy yards. Upon the boy s head thus posted he placed an ap ple, and retiring with his rifle to the distance of two hundred and ten feet, he called upon his friends who had assem- , bled to witness the less act to observe that he should cut the apple in two without harming his child. He deliberately raised his weapon, fired and cut the apple in the midele, leaving the child neither scathed nor frightened, so confident was the lat ter in his father's skill. The hearties man was then about to repeat the experi ment, when the nnlim. formed, it was said, by the boy's mother came upon the ground and interfered to pvevent the continuance of such a dan gerous experiment, and arrested the father, imprisoninc him for days in punishment for his f oolhardi ness. . Marriage and Longevity. In his recently published " Study of Sociology " Mr. Herbert Spencer assails a theory that has long been current with regard to niarriage and longevity. That married life is favorable to longevity has generally been regarded as satisfactorily proved bv numeran stnHat,v.o : almost without exception, a greater lon gevity on the part of the married. When the ratio of deaths in the two classes stands at ten to four, and even twenty to four, there would appear to be little i rOOTYl T. iV .I,-,,. l.l. T" . . . I - , . " juuii m tms astute so cial scientist the evidence, strong as it seems, furnishes no warrant for the cur rent belief. He regards the case as a Buusniauon ot cause for effect ; in other words, greater longevity is not the con sequence oi marriage ; on the contrary, marriages are clearly traceable to in fluences favoring longevity. The princi ples of natural selection work so strongly in deciding between the Benedicts and the bachelors, that the long livers are drawn to the former and the short livers to s the latter. Marriage, Mr. Spencer holds, is regulated by the ability to meet its reponsibihties. The nnolitia Rive tue auvant&are hera am -ifoi! 1 and bodily vigor, prudence and self control ; these, too. are nnoi;i;M which determine a prolonared lif or . premature death. An fiVfitl TTiriTfl relation is to be found in the instincts which lead most strongly to marriage. Abe reproductive instincts and .emotions are strong in proportion an the. nni,., ; vital energy is great, and this in turn im plies an organization likely to last : " so i tllAt in foi tlAannM: : . . i V " i. woourrnumjoi pnysique, which is accompanied by strength of the instincts and emotions causing marriage is a superiority of physique also con ducive of longevity. Another influence tells in the same direction. Marriatre is Mv.. ujr tue preierence of women as. well as the desires of men, and, other things being equal, women are attracted toward men of physical and intellectual iwwer, reiusing the malformed, diseased aiid ill-developed types. In the opera tion of these three elements Mr. Spencer finds all that is needed to account for the 'triting. difference of longevity between auu ueciares tnat "the figures pven afford no proof that marriage and "6D"jr we rauw ana consequence but they simply verify the inference' wnicn might be drawn priori that marriage and longevity are concomitant Aroints oi me same cause," London nieuteai jcecora. : - knew jnost given life to be reprieved.

Lidi wore a dress whose folds hung loosely from a yoke, confined about the waist with a sash, until about twb years ago. Every one lamented when I took her out of this. I had to, because I could not manage the folds after she grew so tall. Then she wore a simple blouse waist and equally simple skirt, and now a plain basque, not too tight, and a skirt, with a few folds, or one aeep , xiounce. She looks finer, and nobler and purer than all the overdressed giris put together, and makes that im pression.

A terrible combat has taken place on the shores of Lake Tantalus, in the vicin ity of Bournabat, Asia Minor, between a professional sportsman named Cara mouchi, who lives in the little village of xakaheni, and a leonard whioh i mMiiemne been aevastatingthe ueighbor- wu. ou neavy were the losses of the lahabitants of the district by this ani mal, that they agreed to have a battue for him, but in the meantime Caramouchi determined to attack the leopard alone. Rallying forth one morning about three weeks ago, acccompanied by two friends, he found the track of the animal in the wiow, ana followed it up to a cavern in the rock. The three men fired their grins simultaneously into the entrance of the cavern, and were rewarded by the sudden appearance of the leopard, who bounding forward, seized Caramouchi, lacerating him severely in the arms and legs. After a deRrwr.tA stnmnio leopard, who had been wounded by the discharge of guns into the cavern, quit ted its prey and withdrew to the brink of a ravmeafew yards off. Garamouchi's friends at this juncture prudently pro posed to retreat, but Caramouchi signi fied his intention of and, reloading his gun, fired another shot at the obiect of hia nnnmit leopard was now thoroughly out of tem- uuu, oounoing again on its assail ant, the fight commenced in earnest. Uaramouchi was horribly mamrled, but just as his strength was giving way he drew out a knife, and stabbing the leopard in the stomach, by a vigorous effort shook it off and chucked it down the ravine. The leopard was killed by the fall. Caramouchi fainted, but par tially reviving, was carried with the dead leopard in triumph to the village. Ha was then put to bed, where he is likely by latest accounts, to remain for several wee&s, ana a little subscription has been opened for him by his grateful neigh bors.

He Smoked Ten Tons of Tobacco and Died. TUT TT 1 ' . jviaes, wno was known among his acquaintances by the name of the king of smokers, has just died near Rot terdam. He had erected a mansion, one portion of which was devoted to the arrangement of a collection of pipes, ac cording to their nationality and chrono logical order. A few days before bis death he summoned his lawyer and made his will, in which he directed that all the smokers of the country should be invited to the funeral, and that each should be presented with ten pounds of tobacco, and two Dutch pipes of newest fashion,, on which! should be engraved the name, arms, ttud date of the decease of the testator. . .He requested all his relatives, friends and funeral guests to be careful to keei- their pipes alight during the funeral ceremonies, after which they should empty the ashes from their pipes on the coma. The poor of the neighborhood who attended to his last wishes, were to receive annually, on the anniversary of his death, ten pounds of tobacco and a small cask of good beer. He desired that his oak coffin should Iw lined with the cedar of his old Havana cigar boxes, and; that a box, of French capsoral and a packet of old Dutch tobacco should be placed at the foot of his coffin. His favorite pipe was to be placed by his side, along with a box of matches, a flint and steel, and some tin der, as he said there was no knowing , what might happen. A correct cal culator has made out that Mr. Kalaes had, during his 80 years of life, smoked more than four tAa of tobacoo, and had drank about 500,000 quarts of beer. Troy iN. Y.)
