ing care of it. There is more SHINING
IN violating the rules of health than
most people ever imagine. If sanitary
laws were strictly observed, twenty
per cent would be added to the lon
6 evity of men and women. The great
proportion of men who reach the age
of eighty become feeble-minded, or at
least lose much of their mental activity.
Physical exercise is regarded a requisite
to health and longevity; equally so is
the active exercise of the mental facul-
ties. Business men who retire from
the duties of their accustomed ayoca-
tions, and allow their minds to relapse
into quiescent state, lose their vigor
of intellect and grow dull in converse
ton. There may be exceptions to this,
but as general rule there is posi-
bility of keeping the mind unimpaired
to extreme old age. Even the age of
ninety need not necessarily bring on
mental dotage. We have in mind an
individual of that age, who is now en-
gagged in writing book, which will
probably show no symptoms of intel
lectual decay. A good list of poets
might be given whose productions in
old age were as creditable as when
in the meridian of life. The secret of
a well-preserved physical frame after
many long years consists in keeping
the mind busy in all wakeful hours.
There is sympathy between mind and
body; the activity of the former exerts
a healthful influence on the latter, and
helps to resist the encroachments of
premature old age. The man who be-
gins to imagine himself growing old,
and broods over that supposed fact.

unpleasantly-featured, and the victim
of imaginary ailments, which have no
real existence. If the idea of youth
be associated with old age, it will re.
sist the encroachments of the latter;
therefore the society of the young
should never be avoided, but rather
sought for. 1t is right in all suitable
ways to strive against old age, by re-
viving the recollections of youthful
days and the amusements of early
years, thus escaping intellectual paraly-
sis, and STAYING off imaginary physical
deerepitude.

history. In addition to other adyan-
tages, it has developed great resources
of mineral wealth, which, until recent
~, it was not known to possess. Wis
consin and Iowa started under state
government near the same time; Iowa
took the lead in the increase of popula-
ton, because it had larger area of
land, capable. of immediate improve
ment for farming. while large pro-
portion of Wisconsin was timbered,
most of it heavily, which rendered it
less desirable for settlement. Here
after Wisconsin will keep abreast with
Iowa in the advance of population and
wealth, with the chances of more
rapid growth in favor of the former
Some of the cities of Iowa as we'll as OF
Wisconsin, which have for some time
been almost at standstill, h ave taken
a new start the past season. The same
may be said of other north western
states. The tide of improvement and
material wealth if onward; if the
same can be said of right public senti-
ment it will be we'll for the state.

Y. M. G.. A. HALL.

Racine may well be congratulated
on the near completion of the Young
Mems Christian Association building.
A few extracts are taken from de-
scription given in the Advocate. The
hall proper and the balcony are so
seated that all directly face the plat
form. The finish OF the hall is very
neat and tasty, the windows having
cathedral glass of many rich hues,
beautifully blended together. The
first floor will contain 500 seats of the
newest opera pattern; the balcony 537
seats of the same style. The furnish
ings are of woods of various colors.
The building has reception rooms, pri-
vate and public offices. Also kitchen.
dining room, library, class rooms, and,
III short, whatever can be desired 10
render it complete for the purposes
designed. Mr.. E. G. Durant, formerly
a resident of this city, has been one of
the liberal givers for this enterprise
Best of all is, every young man, every
well-behayed boy, however poor and
friendless, may be welcome visitor
in this magnificent building. Here he
may receive gratuitous instruction if
he desires it, and rational amusement,
if he wishes.
