THE FAwILY PHYSICIAN
Prolonglng Youth.

Moderation in eating must ever be
of great value in retarding the advent
of senile decay. Large eaters more
rapidly bring on osseous deposits by
taking in more food than is utilized or
excreted, thus blocking the vessels and
impairing their functions. The best
articles of food for delaying the de-
posits are fruit, fish, poultry, flesh Of
young mutton and beef. Fluids, as a
part of the diet, have a special I'M
p~ortance. All well and spring water
contains considerable Of the earthly
salts, and should therefore be avoided
and replaced by cistern water. Water
clear of foreign matter is the better
prepared to dissolve the earthly salts
and convey them out of the system.
The addition of fifteen or twenty drops
of diluted phosphoric acid to a glass
of water and drank three times a day
will, in DIR. Caldwell's opinion, add to
the solubility of these earthly salts,
and thus tend to suspend the advent
of old age by assisting in the removal
of those substances which mark its
chief physiological characteristic.

Freaks of a Pet Chf,npamsee.

l was once the owner of "a highly
educated chimpanzee. He knew all
the friends of the house. all our ac-
quaintances, and distinguished them
readily from strangers. Every one
treating him kindly he looked upon
as a personal friend. He never felt
more comfortable than when he was
admitted to the family circle and al
lowed to move freely around, and open
and shut doors, while his joy was
boundless when he was assigned a
place at the common table, and the
guests admired his natural wit and
practical jokes. He expressed his sat
isfaction and thanks to them by drum
ming furiously OF the table. In his
numerous moments of leisure his IA
vorite occupation consisted in investi-
eating carefully every object in his
reach. He lowered the door of the
stove for the purpose of watching the
fire, opened drawers, rummaged boxes
and trunks and played with their con-
tents, provided the latter did not look
suspicious to him. How easily suspi-
cion was aroused in his mind might be
Illustrated by the fact that, as long as
he lived, he shrank with terror from
every common rubber ball. Obedience
to my orders aud attachment to nv
person. and to everybody caring for
him, were his cardinal virtues, and he
bored me with his persistent wishes to
accompany me. He knew perfectly
his time for retiring and was happy
when some n of us carried him to
bis bedroom like a baby. As soon as
the light was put out he would Jump
into bed and cover himself, because he
was afraid of the darkness. His favo-
rite meal was supper with tea. which
he was very fond of, provided it was
largely sWeetened and mixed with
rum. He sippedi it from a cup, and
ate the dipped bread slices with a
spoon, having been taught not to use
the fingers in eating; he poured his
wine from the bottle and drank it
from the glass. A man could hardly
behave himself more gentleman-like at
table than did that monkey.-Popu1ar

Noted "ReViV0f."

John B. McMaster, the historian
thus describes a noted revival which
took place in Kentucky in the last
year of the last century: 1.-TWO young
men began the great work in the sum,
me- of 1899. They were brothers,
preachers, and on their way across the
pine barrens to Ohio, but turned aside
to be present at a sacramento solem-
nifty OF Red River. The people were
accustomed to gather at such times on
a Friday, and by praying and singing
and hearing sermons prepare them
selves forsthe reception of the sacra-
ment on Sunday. At the Red River
meeting the brothers were asked to
preach, and one did so with astonish-
ing fervor. AS he spoke the people
were deeply moved, tears ran stream
ing down their faces, and one, a wo-
man far in the rear Of the house,
broke through order and commenced
to shout. For two hours after the
regular preachers had gone the crowd
fingered and were loath to depart.
While they tarried mi of the brothers
was irresistibly impelled to speak. lie
rose and told them that he felt called
to preach f.; that he could not be silent.
The words which then fell from his
lips reused the people before him 'to a
pungent sense of sim Again and
again the woman shouted, and would
not be silent. He started to go to her.
The crowd begged him to turn back.
Something within him urged him on,
and he went'through the house shout
ing and exhorting and praising God.
In a moment the floor, to use his W
words, was covered with the slain
Their cries for mercy were terrible to
hear. Some found forgiveness, but
many went away spiritually wound
ed and suffering unutterable agony of
soul. Nothing could allay the ex cite
ment. Every settlement along the
Green River and the Cumberland was
full of religious fervor. Men fitted
their wagons with beds and provis.
ions, and travelled fifty miles to camp
upon the ground and hear him preach.
The idea was new, hundreds adopted
it. and camp meetings began" At the
Cane Ridge meeting 10000 were en-
camped. 1.-The excitement surpassed
anything that had been known. Men
who came to scott remained to preach.
All day and all night the crowd
swarmed to and fro from preacher to
preacher, singing, shouting, laughing,
now rushing off to hear some new ex-
horter who had climbed upon a stump,
now gathering around some unfortu-
nate who, in their peculiar language,
was spiritually slain Soon men and
women fell in such numbers that it
became impossible for the multitude
to move about with out tramp.ing
them, and they were hurried to the
meeting house. At no time was the
floor less then half covered. Some lay
unable to move or speak. Some
TALKED, but could not move Some beat
the floor with their heels. Some,
shrieking in agony, bounded about, it
is said, like a live fish out of water.
Many lay down and rolled owe and

the Spaniards that Bismarck will yield

New York Republicans

SARATOGA, August 25.-The meeting
of the State Republican committee was
called to orde at noon to-day by Chair
man Warren. Fire Commissioner Van
colt offered the following preamble and
resolutions:
Whereas, The best interests of the Re-
publican party will be subserved in the
pending contest by free and full ex-
preston of the wishes OF all classes OF
Republicans throughout the primaries
held for the election of delegates to the
next convention: therefore,
Resolved, As the judgment OF this
committee that all voters residing in the
several districts of the assembly of the
State who adhere to the principles of the
Republican party and whose intention
is to act with the, party and promote
its success by their votes and
influence at the next general election,
be invited without regard to any So
called fundamental test to attend and
take part in said primaries, and this
committee recommends all organiZa
tons of the party throughout the State
to act in compliance with the foregoing
suggestions.
Jacob Hess asked if the plan would
not interfere with the plans already
adopted last year?
Vancott said there were thousands OF
Republicans in New York City who did
not vote last year for the nominee for
the Presidency. 1t would be wise for
the committee to do all in its power to
give them an opportunity to vote for
the Republican nominees this year.
The resolution, after short discus
sion, was unanimously adopted 1t
was decided to hold the convention at
Saratoga, on September 22d.
