A Klanrp nml llualneM That Hve I Wholly l)lBfiiprcd. "Hero's your white sand, black sand: t White, sand, White sand and black suind, Now, bore's your wblto sand. Mack snnd m-u-n!" Such were the words sutip by the melodious voices of a few robust col ored men through the streets of Wash ington, says tho Stor, half n century ago; but the sand ninn and his business have entirely disappeared, for no longer the market exists for the. material. The white sand n.ik then used for scrubbing i urpo.--e and sanding lloors, ond the black sand for use on manuscript to dry the. ink. While large quantities we're used in the departments, many stores and offices, as well ns families, v ere the consumers, and in some fami 1,1's, Kind boxes are handed down to the grandchildren to remind them of the i'pvs of the old quill pen. These men. with horse and eart, would early in the morning appear with a few bushels of white sand, and jKissibly a peek of the black material, and for fow hours they would cry it through the streets, selling by the peck, quart and pint a levy (lL'i'b cents) per quart for the white and often '5 cents per pint for I lie black. Now scrubbing soap lias al most entirely suierseded the whitonm teral, and blotting paper has driven the black sand out of the market. A Trapping Plant.

W ILLO MUCH TALK INDUCES LONG LIFE Sonic 8pocuUtlon from th HUtlitlca of French Cent murium. In Frnuce n census of centonurhuui has just been taken, and tho tabulation shows two hundred and thirteen per son in that country who are over one hundred years of npc. Of this number, say.s the Now Ynrlt World, only sixty six arc men, or less than one-third. An amusiufr comment on this has been po intf the rounds in Paris to the effect that the reason for this surprising com parative longevity of women is their pronencjs to talk and possip at every conceivable opportunity. Constant chnt tcrinp. it is said, leads to the active I'lri'.iilntion of the blood, and thus re news tho tissues of the body dally and renders the frame particularly Htronp. In all seriousness, however, nave sev eral I'Vi-neh uhvsicists taken tin this matter, and they have come to the con clusion that the reason so ninny more women have attained a preater teiipth nf life than men is because they have passed throtiph less turmoil and trou ble, and have had a more calm aim less impassioned existence. One ase in point is that of an old huly who died re cently in the Haute fiuronuc, havinp lived one hundred and fifty years. She is supposed to have been lie oldest woman of modern times, and all her life was spent peacefully in n hamlet in this district. The closing decade of her life she was fed on goat's milk and uliecho. In the last few years of her existence her body became attenuated to an extraordinary degree and her skin came to resemble parchment. Tbu French centenarians are, ns n rule, of the 'lowest class of society and extremely poor. MARRY THEIR JUNIORS. A Number of ltcasona Why Homo Women Do No. A late conversation between a num ber of women chanced to fall upon the common occurrence of women marry ing their juniors, says the New York Times. It was remarked that these marriages were almost invariably hap py ones. One of the group ventured the opinion that the. reason for this lay in the wisdom pained with years by the wife, and in tho knowledge thus at tained as to how to manage her hus band. Another thought that a man always wanted his wife to "mother" him, and was best satisfied when she did, while she was naturally satisfied by his satisfaction. A third was sure that to take care of others was u wom an's true vocation, and the secret desire of her heart, and that this calling was most entirely entered upon when the selfishness of extreme youth was past, and when the husband was younger than herself. Whatever the cause, the fact remains that of all these matches, which do seem to be made in heaven, almost all make a little heaven here be low. One of the talkers contributed her quota to the stories of remarkable dif ferences in years between man and wife. A one-time bishop of Maryland, she said, married a woman who had been one of his mother's bridesmaids, and who had made his own christening rope. lie was so devotedly attached to her that when she died from extreme old age he mourned her memory, with no thought of filling her place, all the rest of his life. IN A NIGHT. The Suddenness of 11 l'otitto Itliislit In Ireland. The famine that decimated Ireland fifty years ago was caused by the blight ing of the potatoes then the staple food of the peasantry. The blight lit erally walked in. darkness, though the sickness destroyed at noonday. Says Frances Power C'obbe in her '"Life:" I happened to be able to recall pre cisely the day. almost the hour, when the blight fell on the potatoes and caused the great calamity. A party of us wore driving to a seven o'clock dinner. As we passed a remarkably fine field of potatoes in blossom the scent came through the open windows of the car riage and we remarked to each other how splendid was the crop. Three or four hours later, as we re turned in the dark, a dreadful odor came from the same field and we ex claimed: "Something has happened to those potatoes! They do not smell at all as they did when we passed them on the way out!" Next morning there was n wail from one end of Ireland to the other,. Kvery field was black and every root rendered unfit for human food. And there were nearly eight million people depending principally upon those potatoes for ex istence. lteuHonliiK I'oiver of llohlim. a robin's nest and a kingbird's nest were situated in adjoining trees, each containing young birds. When the kingbirds saw the robin bringing a worm to feed its .young they would at tack it and make it give up the food in tended for the young robins. After being robbed a few times the robin ap peared with a worm, uecompanied by two other robins, and when the Icing bird made his appearance the two extra robins pitched in and gave him a sound thrashing, while the one with the worm fed its young ami seemed to be laugh- ing all the while. The game was pluyed until the kingbird gave it up, and now the robin feeds its young with out help.
