How am old Man Kept Young.
Stockton Mail.

Thirteen years ago a gentleman
named johnson, who was at that time
engaged in editing a newspaper III Pia-
cerville, went East and delivered q
course of lectures on California = Du-
ring his travels he met Peter Cooper
the millionaire, then eighty years old,
at banquet. Mr.. johnson was struck
with the comparatively youthful APP
pearance of the millionaire and remark,
ed "Mr. Cooper, / have been seized
with a great ambition since have seen
you"
"What is that ambition ~ asked the
philanthropist. as5
Il wish to be as young a man as you
are if Hive to be eighty years OF age,
and would like you to tell me how
Won have done So
Mr.. Cooper laughed. "Why it's very
easy. In the first place, never fret
about anything; in the next place, don't don t
put all your vitality, all your time and
all your energy in making. money.
"But, Mr.. Cooper, you have made a
good deal of money!
II have, but it has not been my sole
purpose. Sleep well at night and never
do any injury to your neighbor, and Il
you live to be eighty years OF age you
will be as young man as / am"

MEASURES THAT HAVE HERETOFORE
SUCCESSFULLY PREVENTED ITS
INTRODUCTION.
New York Herald.

New YORK Herald.
The latest advice from the East leave
no room to doubt that the cholera epi-
demic will soon extend its ravages be-
yond the Mediterranean. The necessl-
ty for taking extraordinary precautions
against it's westward spread has been
recognized by all the interested govern
ments except the English, though Eng
lish ports are most exposed to the, I'M
portation of the .pleagne. should 1t
break out as an epidemic in Great Brit
ain the difficulty of keeping it out OF the
United States would be very great,
though it may be hoped we should es-
cape this year. "The probability that
the disease will gain a Judgement in the
United States this summer the Medl-
cal Journal thinks, lis exceedingly
small" AS a general rule, this journal
says, our cholera epidemics have begun
in years following a European preva-
lence, $50 that it is rather for next year
than this that the contingency of an in
road of cholera into Europe should ex-
cite uneasiness in America"
1t is nevertheless the dictate OF pru-
dence that our government and all lO-
cal authorities should bestir themselves
to devising the most effectual means OF
preventing its importation to our shores,
and of fortifying our seaport cities by
sanitation againstits spread should 1T
be introduced.
In view of such possibility. the first
measure to he taken is a publication OF
the water supply of our large cities.
While medical men have failed to ac-
count for the origin and march OF cho-
| lera, statistics show that a pure water
supply is a great safeguard against IFS
extension and fatality. In Berlin, dur
| ing the epidemic of 1866, in the houses
supplied with good water the number
| in which cholera occurred was 366 per
cent, while in the houses supplied with
bad water the percentage attacked was
1913. In 1859, according to Dr.. Parke,
Copenhagen was supplied with good
water, and, although cholera had been
very severe there on its previous visits,
/ there were then few cases. Professor
| Forster, of Bresleau, also shows that
five towns of Silesia are entirely free
from cholera, even when it had been
brought to its doors, the supposed pre-
servative condition being "a water sup
/ ply brought from distance which can
not be contaminated A still more
! striking proof Of the value Of this pre-
caution is the fact, cited by high au-
i thorities, that at Harlem, Holland, IN
1855, as in 1s4e, cholera prevailed with
great intensity except in one part
of the city, inhabited by bleachers, whe
had obtained a separate and fresh
source OF pure water. 5.
i 1t will be by no means premature fol
the authorities of all cities to improve
the present season to secure pure water
aud a larger supply6of it in anticlpa
n tion of danger, and to put their seWe
i system in complete order. When thi
d is done we may hope that, even shouls
4 the Eastern plague reach this country
. it's visitation will be less extended ia
less fatal than it has ever yet proved.
