IT should not pass Without note
that not only has Los Angeles
county made tremendous advances
during the past five years-years OF
apparent business depression but OF
real recuperauon-in all tho pro-
ductions that minister to life, and
guarantee wealth in period of
years, but our farmers are no long
or hampered by the high rates Of
interest which prevailed OF old.
Even In the most trifllng transac-
tions one per cent. q month is now
tho standard; while, for large op.
erations, the rate is very much
less. This is a vital change; 1t
will be much improved upon in
the future, and it makes possi-

of this section have been simply
miraculous. The chronicle OF pro.

Of strange Indians from the surrounding

had caused n temporary suspension of
the festivities, but the people soon hc-
gan to drift that way again, and by the

heard, and the dance WAS once more III

village would probably grow lively to-

dancing was carried on under tho shed
which was lit up by pinc-knots, throwing

Lifc'S Brightest Hour.

Not long since, l met n gentleman who
is assessed for one million. Silver was
in his hair, care upon his brow, and he
slightly stopped beneath his burden of
wealth. We were speaking Of tho
period of his life he had reached the most
perfect enjoyment, or rather, when he
had found happiness to be nearest I'M
alloyod.
"Ill tell you," said the millionaire,
"whcn was the happicst hour Of my life.
At the ago of one and twenty l. had

of the value down. and also furnish it

went to my work, leaving mother and
sister to help in preparing my home.

passed on to the kitchcn-our kitchen
and diningroom were all one then. [

prepared by tho hands of her who had
come to be my hclpmeet in decd as we'll

throbbing and expectant look upon her
lovely and loving face, stood my wife.
[ could only clasp the waiting angel to
my bosom, thus showing to her the
ecstatic burden Of my heart.
"The years have passed--long, long

How Long Man May live.

1t was Professor Hufcland's opinion
that the limit of possible human life
might be set down at 200 years; end this
on the general principle that the life of
q creature is eight times the years of its
period of growth. That which is quickly
formed quickly perishcs, aud the earlier
complete development is reached the
Boonor bodily decay ensues. More
women reach old age than men, but
more men attain remarkable longevity
tban women. Some animals grow to be
very old. Horned animals live shorter
lives than those without horns. fierce
longer than timid, and amphibious longer
thnn those which inhabit the air. The
voracious pike exists, it is said, to m age
OF 80 years; the turtle is good for 100
years or more, and among birds the
golden eagle is known to have lived
nearly 200 years, while the sly and SOM
Der crow reaches the venerable age of n
century. Passing up in the scale of life
to man, and skipping the patriarchs, we
find many recorded instances of longevity
among the classic Greeks and Romans.
Pliny notes that in the reign of the EN-
peror Vcspasian, in the year 7G, there
were l24 men living in the limited area
. between the Appennines and the Po of
100 years and upward, three of whom
were 40 and over 13j. Cicero's wife
lived to the age Of 1O3, and the Roman
actress, Luccja, played i'll public as lato
as her 10Th year. Coming down to
more recent times, the most notable
authentic instance of great age is that of
Henry Jenkins, of Yorkshire, England,
who died in 1910, 100 years old. . He
was fisherman, and ut the age of 100
easily swan across rapid rivers. An
other historic case is that of Thomas
Parr, of Shropshire, day laborer, who
lived to the age of 152 years. When
moro than 12O he married his second
wife, and till 130 he could swing the
scythe and wicld the fail with the best
of his fellow-laborcrs. In his 152d year
Parr won't up to London to exhibit HIM
self to the king. 1t proved an rnlucky
visit, for, violating the abstemious habit
OF century and half, the old man
toasted SO freely on the royal victuals
that he soon died, merely of II plethora.
On examination his internal organs
proved to be i'll excellent condition. and
thero was no reason why he should not
have lived much longer save for this un-
fortunate taste of royal hospitality.
