How TO Live Long.


The secret OF long lie has once again
been discovered, this time in Flanders:
and, If We read Alright the meaning OF
the announcement now made, there Is
nothing 10 prevent anyone from be
coming a oentensrian, provided he VIII
do as he is told by the erudite Dr..
Barggraeve, who processes physic IN
the University OF Gbe1t. Not only
does the Flemish professor proclaim
long life TO be thing attaInable IN
certain circumstances, but ne offers il
al a rate SO cheap that to anyone am
bilious OF outliving his welcome in the
world II would be the veriest folly not
TO accept the gift. The medicineis not
protected by q patent. though the
fortunate proprietor might, by selling
what most men wish 10 buy, have
grown rich beyond the dreams OF
ayarice. II Is 10 elixir OF life, no
Cagliostro's drops, no fountain OF D er
peIual youth, such as tnat which
Ponce de Leon sought IN Florida, and
SIR John Vaudeville drank OF CD the
shores Of Malabar, albeit be died Of
arthritIc gOu-. the miraculous draUght
Notwithstanding. DR.. Ba-graeve' s
medicine Is nothing more recordite
than common salt. Eat salt IL s7i-
Gent quantity, and, so far as years
are concerned, there Is nothing TO pre-
vent anyone from becoming Sir
Moses Montefore or an Old Pal-,
or even from reaching the age oi
Thomas Damme, who is said 10 have
died at 154, or Of Peter Torton, who
declared, though ne did not produce a
parish register, that he WAS close on
164 the year before he made up his
mind to go over TO that majority.
Salt, the Chemist doctor afirms, Is
the great panacea for every III that
flesh is heir TO. Good health, ii is
his opinion, Is not a matter OF chance
or constitution; the laws which regu-
late human life are very simple: all
that We have to do is TO take care that
they shall develop themselves without
obstruction. Salt viii enable them TO
do this. II the blood is too rich salt
VII purify 1t. II the blood Is too poor,
salt will thickenit. Gu pitts who have
been punished BY bei1 z compelled to
eat unsalUed bread have almost inva-
rIably died. The want Of salt caused
the outbreak of a terrible epidemic in
Saxony, and Russian peasants, when
threatened by the plague, have saved
themselves by putting salt in their
milk. Cholera viii fee before salt.
Consumption can be mastered by IL.
Old age is comparatively poRerless in
the face OF twO-thIrds OF an ounce OF
sodium enforide a day Therefore, ne
invites all TO swallow this frugal phys
ic, and, il not tired OF the world at
three score and ten, 90 on living until
centen8Tlans are as common as fools,
and insurance companies are threat
ened with insolvency by annuitants
who continue on the funds TO an age
for which the actuaries OF the past
have made no provision.
Mongolians at the Theaters.
From the Washington Crtlc.l
The members Of the Chinese legation
are inveterate theater -g0ers, and few
evenings pass that two or more boxes
at the principal theaters are not occu-
pied by the OTientals. OF course CON-
ic opera and the chorus girls please
them most, but since the latter have
departed new feature interests these
innooents. This is tie member OF the
orchestra who plays the wooden Stats
called a xylophoIs, and q comical
scene was presented the other evening
after solo on this instrument. Two
OF the lower boxes at the theater were
occupied by the Chinese, who seemed
restless and III at ease at the absence
OF their customary short-dressed
charmers. They had ogled the audi
ence thoroughly with their naked eyes
and opera glasses and settled back ap-
parently for doze, SIS the play was
not attractive enough for them. Sud
denly the rattle OF theslats was heard,
and every Cbinaman sat bolt upright,
while their faces beamed with delight
and their small eyes fairly twinkled.
One OF the party, with a huge diamond
blazing IN front OF his cap, leaned hall
way out OF the box 10 witness the
OF the pleasant instru-
ment, and the round-faced, big man
DARN OF the legation, not whit the
less enthusiastic, rested himself on MS
companions back. III order that be
might not miss a note or motion.
When the soloist concluded there was
the most rapturous applause IN the
two boxes, and an encore was secured
by the persistency OF the diplomats
from China who we're thus aroused
from their lethargic condition. The
fun was appreciated by the audience
most heartily, and they seconded the
Mongolians IN their efforts with stamp
ing OF feet and clapping OF hands until
the wood vas thumped again.
