LONG LIFE.


How the Reader May Toll Whether He
Is Likely to Have 1t.
If any one would know whether he
is likely to live long or to die soon let
him inquire whether old age runs in
his family or not, for the good tissues
of long life are apt to be hereditary,
and he may commit a great many ex-
cesses OF other errors without Killing
himself if Is comes Of a long-lived
much help toward a knowledge of the
diseases to which he is prone and which
excuses or other errors are likely to
light up by inquiring what diseases his
forefathers or kinsfolk suffered or dice
from. Some diseases are VIGOROUSLY
reckoned to be directly hereditary il
like kind, for example, epilepsy, phthisi:
and insanity. When person has one
of them we are not at all surprised to
learn that his father or mother had it.
indeed, we are apt to treat the discovery
as sufficient explanation, and to thinB
that no more need be said. But it is
not really an explanation; it is merely
an indication of the direction in which
the exact explanation has yet to be
sought. If it be a sufficient eXplana-
ton, how does it happen that all the
children of the same unsound father OF
mother do not suffer in the same
wayp How is it that twins. living
under the same conditions, have
not always, as now and then
they have, the same diseases at the
same ages? In calling disease hered-
itary it is not really meant that the dis
ease itself is actually inherited by the
| offspring, who in that case, would be
born with it; what is meant is that the
latter inherits certain organic con-
stitution which, being likely to undergo
that pathological development in the
! ordinary circumstances of life, is, there
fore, described as constitutional pre-
disposition or tendency to the disease.
We do not in the least know what is the
intimate nature of the predisposition,
but we know that it may be greater or
less in different persons, and that it is
thought to be so great in the cases
of the diseases mentioned, and so likely
to be transmitted to children, as to be
a serious objection, if not an actual bar,
to marriage. Those who, having fallen
in love, are aware of the existence to
them in their families are therefore not
little troubled sometimes with scruples
of conscience and anXiously ask medical
advice whether they shall marry or not.
In the end they commonly marry,
whatever the advice given them, having
persuaded themselves that the epilepsy
was not real epilepsy, but form OF
violent hysteria; that the lung mischief
was not constitutional phthisis, but the
accidental consequence of neglected
cold; that the insanity was not the out
come of family degeneracy. but an
accidental blow on the head, which was
thought nothing OF at the time. Would
the earth ever have been peoplSd had

qrench the hot passion OF lovec-FOrt

Mistakes Frequently Made by People

Mistakes Frequently Made by People
Who Ought To Know Better.
A distinguished journalist, testifying
before the Congressional Telephone
Committee, was guilty of the verbal
crime of calling a Cabinet officer q
Cabinet Minister. This malyersation
is common enough, yet we have no
more got (this verb is used knowingly
and advisedly) a Cabinet Minister than
we have got a constitutional monarchy.
We have no Ministry" consequently
we have no Ministers. We have merely
Cabinet officers, who are not voted out
of office, and whose status is so totally
unlike that of Cabinet Ministers that it
is not necessary to enlarge upon the
subject. Quite as erroneous is the APP
| pellation of the Secretary of State as
the Premier. Mr.. Bayard has figured
as Premier until he must be weary unto
| death of being called what he is not
and never can be. The Premier is the
responsible head of an administration.
| The Secretary of State is by no means
that. He is merely the chief of an
Executive department, and in our Gov
eminent the smallest and least impor-
tant of all the Executive departments.
He is no more Premier than he is
pterodactyl or a xerocolyrium, and if
| he is an American he won't want to be
any or either.
Worse than either of these mistakes
is the calling an interviw with the
President an audience. One con-
stantly reads in newspapers which
ought to know better of these ''audi-
ences, as if the President were the
Rajah of Cawnpore. An audience with
the President of the United States!
Psha!
Nine newspapers out of ten, and
ninety and nine persons out of hun
bred, when they speak of Congress
mean the lower house alone, and call
Representative a congressman. The
Senate and the House of Representa-
tives taken together constitute the
Congress, and Senator is us much
Congressman as Representative is.
A like confusion of terms exists regard
ing the words minister and Am
bassador.' Our representatives at

HEALTH AND DEBTS.
Influence of Mans Pecuniary State Upon
His Physical Condition.

Influence of Mans Pecuniary State Upon
His Physical Condition.
A Western newspaper very reason
ably af1irms that ones condition for
health or disease often depends upon
his pecuniary state. To insure health.
so far as human effort can control the
matter, one should, above all, be cheer
full, contented and calm. You can not
do this if you Intentionally or unin-
tentionally incur debt, for debt is en-
barrassing and painfully annoying. No
person of the least pride or sclf-respect
can possibly be comfortable if in debt.
Debt is something that can not always
be avoided, although it never fails to
produce, in persons of principle, an
amount of mental worry that is abso-
lutely distressing. Mental tension, pc
cuniary trouble, is one of the chief
causes of insanity. Men struggle for Il
competency because they, especially
those not far removed from poverty.
fear poverty, not for themselves. but
for others.
A father will suffer more in the
thought that his wife or daughter may
be left penniless than he will if the
family physician tells him that the wife
has an incurable cancer, and may die
any moment, or that the daughter will
be crippled for life. He prefers even
this to the thought that she may be
forced to manual labor. 1t is true that
poverty in our artificial state of So
cety involves all the miseries hun
ger, overwork, humiliation and sick
ness, yet we can hardly understand
why men should not choose them all
rather than sickness and physical suf-
fering.
The man who commits suicide from
pecuniary troubles is, nine times in
ten, found to be one who is over
worked, or who has ragged secretly or
openly at the apparent injustice in
volved in work that brings no return,
or who, haunted by fear of poverty,
has lived beyond his income, incurred
annoying debts, and takes his life to
escape the consequent misery and
mental agony. Nothing overturns the
mental balance so surely as long
continued sense of injustice or long
continued debt, and nothing is so fire.
quent n cause for suicide. Hope is
said to spring eternal in the human
breast" but in the matter of money
making years of non-success kill hope
and destroy mental vigor and bodily
health. No other form of misery pro-
duces quite the same impression as
financial wrong. To be a healthy man
learn to bear cheerfully the misfortune
as well as the good fortune of life.
Therefore, the mental requirements of
the laws of health are checrfulness,
contentment and calmness, and that
man live within his income, however
small. chronological Journal

recently been papered, painted, well lighted
with hanging lamps and well warmed. The
Friendly Inn is under tho auspices of the

Each director is to entertain the boys at
these rooms one week during the winter.
Monday night was the opening.of the season.
1t being the first night many did not know
about it and there were but few boys :pres-
ent while some evenings last winter there
were as many as forty. Monday evening
there were twelve boys varying from eight
to fifteen years of age After few remarks
two temperance stories were read in which
the boys seemed very much interested. Then
came music, after which they played games
till O'Clock, when they babe each other
good night and started for home with light
hearts, after spending a pleasant evening.

coULD's OPERATIONS.
Some New Facts Disclosed by Mi
mute Examination.

A sensational story was in circulation yes
terday to the effect that some new discover
les had been made in connection with the OPP
erations of w. E. Gould, late cashier of the
First National Bank, which would increase
the defalcation above the amount discovered
at the recent examination The grain of
truth in the story is that minute eXamina-
ton of books and papers has revealed clearly
Gould's methods, and shown exactly when
and how he embezzled the banks
funds. There is no truth whatever
in that part Of it which alleges that discov-
cries were made which would increase the
deficit above that reported by the Bank Ex-
aminer. The facts are that in preparing for
suit against Mr.. Gould's bondsmen it be-
came necessary to make a minute and ex-
haustive examination to determine when the
different sums stolen from the bank were
taken. Fortunately in drawer were found
memoranda in Gould's hand writing of his
operations, which, when compared with the
books and with papers in the hands of other
parties disclosed his moduS operGndi with
great clearness. Mr.. Gould after he went to
Thomaston remembered that these papers
WV AZ S<>AoeNhNN anu oOh5hb W ObbaAh ehSAh,
but in vain.
1t has also been discovered that Mr..
Gould's State street house was paid for di-
rectly out of the funds of the bank. The
separate items of expenditure in its con-
struction reveal the lavishness of his out
lay. The finishing of one room alone cost
$3.50; of the hall and staircase $1,000; for
the stained glass windows alone he paid
5000; for chandeliers over $500.
Some facts concerning Gould's operations
in stocks have also come to light. His first
purchase amounted to 1000, and in four
months he invested $676,00O in specula-
tive ventures. For a long time his average
was about 100000 month. He had three
brokers, two in New York and one in Bos-
ton, and his communications with them were
in cipher. He was very enthusiastic pur-
chaser, but if his stocks fell point he was
inclined to become panicky and order their
sale at once. So he frequently lost, when if
he had had the courage to hold on he would
have gained.
There is no truth in the story which was
also in circulation yesterday that bonds de-
posted with the bank were missing in addi-
ton to the $4,000 reported by Bank Ex-
aminer Wiswell.
