A Remarkable Veteran.

One of the most remarkable men of the
age is the great French scientist, NJ Chev-
reul. who on the 3lst Of August, in Paris,
entered upon his one hundred and first
year. with a good degree Of mental and
physical vigor. This man is one o. the most
noted chemists living. famous for Learning
and research, the world over. As .ong ago
as 1918 il is stated that he was already a
professor, and a friend and associate of Sir
Humphrey Dayy. lie was also a member
of the French National Guard, was on duty
at the Tuileries, and heard the increasing
cheers of the crswd which heralded the un-
expected return" OF the first and great Ma
poleon from Elba-''cheers which so
amazed him that he dropped his musket. =
1t is related Of him that during the siege of
Paris he remained within the city, and at
tended IL his duties az the Natural History
Museum. undeterred by the German b, m5s,
one of which exploded in his Office a few
moments only after he had left it."
We look naturally to VI. -Chevreuls man
ner of living TO find the material for discov-
ering what were the promoting causes of
his long life, and We find that he made his
own system a special study to ascertain

In an address to the British Society OF

@The facts | have brought before you
also point to the moral and material pro
gress of the world. 'The bee that hum

He commences as a fre-worshipper and
rises to Newton, a Farady, Stephen
son, a Siemens. He tempts the river in
few fragments Of bark lashed together
with thongs Of rawhide, and crosses the
Atlantic in an iron steamer Of % 600 tons
burden. He burrows in the earth, and
then builds a city with 100000 inhabit-
ants. He sticks a dried reed in lump Of
fat to light his mud hut and
carbonizes 220O,650 tons of coal
per annum to illuminate Lon

sages on sticks to Montezuma from the
coast, and at last reports in London the
details Of battle fought in the Soudan
the same morning. He slays his foe with
a sling and pebble chosen from the
brook, and meets the enemy with a ma
chine gun firing 900 rounds a minute by
means of its own recoil He lays seige to

Of science, but they are the endings of

what he needed and what he did not need
in the way of food and drink. He rejected
both fish and alcohol, we are informed. He
was total abstsiner, refrsining from the
use of wine in a country where wine is a
universal beverage. But he also refrained
from drinking milk. Coffee he liked and
drank, and when he was thirsty he drank
water. We are informed by many wise
people who have been abroad that nobody
drinks water on the continent, and that ii is
not fit to drink. This we know to be un-
true, to some extent II is quite true that
water is not commonly used as beverage
in Europe, and that it is usually not placed
upon the table except when called for, and
then without ice, but VI. Cheyreul's eSpe-
rience shows that water Is not only not
that, in one eminent instance, 1t has proved
its good qualities in that Ii was drank, ha-
bitually, bya man now over hund ed
years old. But the same evidence holds
good in behalf of coffee as beverage, and
we take pleasure in commencing the good
taste and Judgment Of this celebrated scien-
tist. Coffee is the king of drinks. 1t ad-
ministers not only to the physical, but TO
the mental system. 1t warms the cookies
Of the heart and sends its delightful aroma
up into the chambers of the brain and stim-
ulates and promotes the finer and more ger
erous feelings of mans nature.
But We learn that ii was not altogether
what NJ. Chevreul ate or drank that pro
longed his life, but we have given us by his
bIographers this very suggestive fact;
He persisted in regularity in work and
moderation in the habits of life" He was
no loafer, and he took good care to do his
work in quiet, systematic, effective way
not neryously and on the jump, in jerky,
spasmodic manner, which always tends tc
strain the nervous system and engender 6
heat from friction that consumes the hbel
and destroys the vitality.
NJ. Cheyreul is true philosopher, the
genuineneSs of whose philosophy has beer
illustrated and vindicated in his own almost
unparalleled career.

will insure never ceasing propaganda of the
army. Those who have read Rev. Edward Ey-
erett llale's Ten Times One Are Ten" will see
how nightly this work may grow.
The organization Of a league Is very simple
Onicers are appointed and committees chosen
TO distribute literature and arrange for lee
lures. Ii is important that all the leagues in a
city or town should be in correspondence with
each other, that there may be united effort
