The Habits or a Centenarian.

M. Chevreul has considerable lib
rary at the museum. which has been
regularly increased by the accession of
valuable books which his son, biblio-
philist like himself. has helped him to
find. His grand life has been engaged
in thought, and concentrated upon the
studies from which such useful discover
les have resulted. He has kept himself
in good condition and happy by work
and moderation. His wife, who has
now been dead for more than twenty
years, attended to his comforts with all
the devotion which such superior minds
are able to invoke. His only son, re-
tired magistrate, lives at Dion. The
illustrious old man lives. therefore.
alone, with his books for companions.
by the aid of which he is able to con-
verse with his brethren, the great ones
OF mankind, the Newtons and the Cali
leos. When not among his books, he
is at his laboratory in the Gobelins,
where he goes on with his experiments
with dexterity still quite Juvenile.
nj. Chevreul possesses large fortune.
which is augmented from year to year
by the rewards of his scientific labors.
His life therefore passes along placidly,
enlivened by the pleasure of seeing the
closing years of his career emphasized by
ovations to his merit. He has witnessed
the birth of all the scientific discoveries
OF our century, and has beheld the mar
Vicious spectacle of the development of
modern industry.
M. Cnevreul is tall, and bears to this
day an erect body. Of elegant man
ners and Incompatible affability, he
rarely fails to receive you with smile.
HIS head is very fine one, with a
broad and massive forehead, shaded
with white locks. He is man of wit
as well as of genius. Recently, when
engaging new preparation for his
laboratory, he said to him: you must
have good deal of courage TO take this
place; / have killed four perpetrators
already We recollect, says M. lis
sander, seeing him at a ball in the
Elysec. Mt midnight of winter night,
fresh and lively, surrounded by ladies
whom he was gayly entertaining, with
an exquisite and charming grace.
M. Chevreul is very sober. He drinks
nothing but water and beer, except that,
by the special request of Minister Cob
let, he for the first time in his life de-
parted from his abstinence to drink a
glass of champagne in response 10 the
sentiment .'Vive la Francem at his CEN
tury-banquet; and to his temperance,
with his robust constitution and his
prudent, regular, and industrious life.
he doubtless owes his survival to SO high
an age.-R H. Layrabee, in Popular
Science Monthly.
