HOW TO SHORTEN LIFE.
The General Conditions Which Tend t.
Shorten Life.

The GoNcr2l COnutttOnS NnlCn xenO TO
Shorten Life.
Life is short enough. one would think,
without our taking the trouble to learn
the means by which it may DE further
curtailed. To linn, however, who
looks forward WITH ,repidat;on to the
frightful possibility of living to . ripe
old age, the following remarks of DR..
Stephen Smith may lie of assistance.
He says: 'Thc most important of the
general conditions which shorten life in
our day is excessive expenditure OF vital
force. This may occur in various ways.
In the young, if food is improper or
clothing insufficient, renewal does not
take plac, at an age when the ex
penditur, for growth is greatest; and
exhaustion rapidly follows. At maturit,
the passions ripen into activity. an,
have their full play, and if not suitably
controlled afford large and exhaustive
expenditure of vital power. Anon,
the poor, life force is often exhauste.
in the struggle for food, and among
the rich in the struggle for the luxuries
wealth, position aud power. Here
owing to wear and tear from anxiety,
loss of sleep and the concomitants, de
fective digestion AMI assimilation,
waste exceeds supply and exhaustion
exceeds renewal. To the genera
causes of waste we would add impure
ar of dwellings, improperly prepared
food, inebriety. gluttony, social dissipa
tons and ten thousand nameless source
of constant impairment of the vita
functions, without power of suitable re
newal, which fill .up the measure OF
mans daily life in modern society
Over nearly all of these conditions
man may, if he will. exert most ar
bitrary control He can feed and
clothe the young. old and helpless; he
can so regulate his habits as to secur.
a proportionate expenditure and re-
newal of vital energy; in his food. in
his drink. in his home and at business
he can well-righ master everything that
affects well-being. With all this
power, why such failure? We answer.
ignorance. The people at large do not
know. much less realize, the extent to
which they may control their longevity.
Even the high circles OF society are ig-
nOrant of the nature, whether for good
or evil, of the air they breathe. the food
they eat, the water they drink, the
clothes they wear; nay, more, the med
ical profession is so devoted to the care
of the sick that il does rot study, as it
ought, the methods of preventing sick
ness. "-Chicago Tribune.

last-words, as overheard by reporter,
OF conversation between Mr.. Fredric
5. Webster and charming young
lady who had called on him at his tax
idermic studio.
Yes" said the artist to the reporter
after the lady had left, THAT young
lady's favorite cat died lately, and she
is in heap of trouble about it,
why, hasn't she got it buried yet?"
Lord. sir! she'd faint if any one
spoke to her about burying it,"
why, very few persons care much
about cats, dead or alive, and l should
have thought that every one, without
exception. would like to have q dead
cat buried as quickly as possible.
Sir" said the taxidermist, ''the
dead cat is the apple of that young
lady's eye. She must have it pre-
served, and is very particular how it is
done. She thinks of nothing else. l

of its head. You know the plaster cast
of the head is an important part of the
Abrk. The body is composed chiefly
of wood, with q covering of clay,
nodded carefully and exactly to the
natural shape, same as the sculptors
make their models, you know. The
clay at first is soft for molding into the
desired shape, but when we have
worked it to the proper shape we leave
it to harden. In little while it grows
as hard almost as stone.

um bath, which. eats away the fatty
substance and removes every element
of decay, and when this is properly
stretched out over the mannikin Gas
we call the artificial body) and the
plaster cast of the head we have the
natural form of the body in perfection.

The skin, after the chemical process
we put it through. will never change a
title. and we have cat that will last
till doomsday. The alum bath in this
case is the essential preseryative, but
we don't use the alum bath in every
case. 1t is very good for cat. but we

The White Mountain forests have
within few years passed from the
earlier proprietors into the hands of
spectators, railroad companies and
other parties, who have no interest in
them beyond the sale of the timber for

makes a tour along the railroads that
pass through the notches and wind
around the mountains can see that Sc

Rie,.s Appeal Disallowed.

WINNIPEG. MAN., September 1o.--The
full court of Manitoba, composed of Chief
Justice WalIbridge and Justices Taylor and
kenam, yesterday gave judgment in the
Riel case, disallowing the appeal and con
firming the death sentence passed by the
Northwest territories court. All held that
according to the evidence the jury could
not come to any other decision than they
did; that by the Dominion statute, con-
firmed by the Imperial Parliament, the
Northwest court clearly had jurisdiction:
and that while the prisoner acted strangely
at times, he was . clever, designing man,
who sought to advance his own personal
interests by using the halfbreeds as tools

A Change.

With this issue begins volume seven of
the CHEYENNE TRANSPORTER. The paper
makes its appearance stronger than ever
under the new arrangements and looks
forward to a prosperous and successful
year in its onward path. AS mentioned
in our last issue, the Interior Department
investigated the paper and its standing,
as well as the hotel and livery stable, and
decided TO issue license to them upon their
furnishing approved bonds. The Trans
PORTER, therefore, has given a bond of
ten thousand dollars, and will be issued
under a regular license as a Territory en-
terprise. A change has also been made
in the editorial and management of the
paper: Mr.. Lafe Merritt, who has been
aim Jst four years in charge Of the Office
and business as local editor, has become
partner, aud hereafter the paper will bo
conducted under the firm name of Maffet
& Merritt. Mr.. MerIitL's extended ac-
quaintance and business ability as pub
Usher will add to the popularity of the
paper, and it is hoped that it will be ac-
corded the same hearty support as given
it heretofore. There will be no change
in the mission or tone of the paper, but
as usual it will reflect faithfully the local
doings and happenings of the entire In
dian Territory.
New job type and other printing ma
terial is being added to our already well
equipped Office, and we invite the atten-
ton Of the public to the fact that we are
prepared to turn out job printing in all Its
forms.
We shall conduct our subscription list
on a cash basis. In @ short time we will
haye our books revised, and all those who
are in arrears will be dropped. Those
wanting the paper should forward their
names, together with the subscription
price-one dollar.
10 the many newspapers that have Sc
-.inGly favored us with an exchange, we
return our thanks, and urge continuance
Of .he same.

We visited the Wichita Agency recently
and are much pleased with the new agent,
Capt, j. Lee Hall, who had but recently
assumed charge. In consequence of the
improvements found necessary at that
Agency, the captain had his hands full of
work, and was mastering 1t like a man
who felt himself perfectly at home. Capt,
Hall halls from Texas, and is a gentleman
of high attainments, he having served
many years as public officer and is well
spoken of in his state. For some years
he was captain in company Of rangers,
in which capacity he achieved consider
able fame as an officer of nerve and ability.
capt. Hall is fast becoming familiar with
his new charge and every indication points
for him a successful administration. He
has secured the services of Mr.. Morrell as
his chief clerk, who was formerally adiu.
tant-general of the Lone Star state, which
alone is sufficient recommendation. As
assistant clerk comes Mr.. B. Nj. Flood,
who is also thoroughly qualified gentle
man.

Last Saturday was the eighteenth anr-
versary of the marriage of Capt. and Mrs.
Il. Connell. A card party was given in
the evening in honor Of the occasion.
A jolly crowd of officers and ladies were
present from the post and much mirth
was had during the evening. Capt. Wood
son and niece, Miss Zeiby are entitled to
the honor of being couple of unusual
activity and accomplishment. Lieut.. Wy
giant and Lieut.. Rice are not far in the
rear. Lieut.. McCoomb's youthful dis
position would not allow him to even
make an attempt when his turn came
around. TO say the crowd was a jolly
one expresses it feebly, and Mrs. Connell
has our sympathy. The hostess as usual
treated her guests to refreshments and
all present greatly enjoyed her hospitality.
Capt. COnneli naughtily played sick and
kept out of sight. The next time his
marriage anniversary is celebrated a COM
miittee shall be chosen to look him up.

The ranges, as far as known, have Been
abandoned by this tire, some delay hav-
ing been occasioned by the stock cattle
being left in the pastures while the own
ers and men were absent with the beef
herds, shipping to market from Kansas
shipping points. The stock cattle have
mostly moved into the Cherokee strip
pastures, the owners of these ranges bav-
ing shipped most of their stock previous
ly. As the southern drive this year has
been cut of, being confined mostly to con-
tracted cattle, the strip men had not re-
stocked their pastures, and hence were
able to accommodate the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe grass lease men with winter
range for their stock cattle.
