HOW TO GROW OLD RAPIDLY.

Think you are growing old, and
you will soon grow old.
Take your place obediently in the
groove long made by custom for
people of middle age or a little past
it. Separate yourself entirely from
the young. Regard with undisguis-
ed contempt their lack of experience.
Scold at their mistakes with no eff
fort at Cancellation or making friends
with them. This with them will
give you your degree as cold fogy."
An cold fogy" may be simply child
who has stopped his learning with
the idea that he "knows it all"
There are cold fogies" at twenty-five
as well as fifty.
Kill all inclination o indulge in
what are called youthful sports"
Learn not to run. Cultivate into your
limbs dignity, slowness, stiffness.
Regard with serenity your slowly
escaping vigor, %supleness and elias
ITCHY of muscle. Say it's the inev-
liable way of all flesh, and because
this has always been SO with past
generations SO it must always be
with the coming ones
Say to yourself: dts law of ma
ture that people must grow old, de
cay and wither when their time
comes" Just as u grandfathers
said, "Its ;agin natur' that news can
be carried any faster than horse
flesh can carry it or that ships can
cross the ocean any faster than
wind and sails can carry them" Say
so to yourself: "Body and mind must
decay after a certain age, and it's
flying in the face Of Providence even
to question that such decay a be
retarded if not prevented"
Don't recognize that every new
interest is as a fresh grip on life and
that as we lose interest the grip re-
lakes it's hold. Let a child be so
kept that it learns absolutely moth
ing, not even a game or sport, and
note what an old face it will have at
twenty-one. Note as to outward
appearance of age at thirty-fve, the
stolid, stupid day laborer, little bet
ter than an animated muscle for
moving heavy weights, and the in
tellectual man of refined tastes and
varied associations and pursuits, and
lsee if the contrast there be a sugges-
ton how the mind may keep the
body young.
Learn nothing new. Say it's now
too late and that all your dancing
days are over. Be ashamed of taking
up any new study or pursuit. Why?
Analyze you shame and you may
find that the lack of skill character
ling your first efforts puts you on
the same footing as the child. But
you are not a child. You are grown
up, full of years and vast experience
in that dignity which assumes to
know so much and really knows SO
little.
There are helps all around you to
assist you in growing old. Kind
friends from time to time will COM
ment on the appearance of a gray

SANITARY HINTS FOR FARMERS.

[A before th of a} Rspae f Moati BY Rn; p so Mi Psea atl
Those of us who are but little past
middle age. recollect that up to within
twenty years typhoid fever was a pre-
yailing disease in the country in the late
Summer and Autumn months. It would
appear in the same localities and in the
same families year after year. Now,
happily, true typhoid is of %infrequent
occurrence, thanks to the dissemination
of sanitary knowledge.
1t is safe to say that one-third of the
deaths are from preventable causes. Also,
that one-half the sickness is from causes
Gus forms and hiding-places furnishes
germs of certain destructive and we'll
recognized diseases. While it is gener-
ally conceded that u%nsanitary surround
ings are likely to render diphtheria,
scarlet fever, measles and kindred dis
eases malignant and fatal in their char
acter, who shall say how large a percentage
of the thousand and one varieties of
lnvalidism of the country is due to the
presence of impure water or impure
atmosphere i'm and about our homes?
OllC VI Tx ~ III III In
preservation of health is an inf1owing
supply Of good, pure water. A spring,
situated so as not to be exposed to pol
luton either by the trespassing of ami.
mails or surface drainage, the water of
which is conducted to the house by pipes,
is a safe water supply. Some health
authorities consider a driven well, stu
ated as remotely as possible from any
@ n11y.o0 Of nfanTpa fIOn tho hoct cOI1roa
,or obtaining drinking water.
A driven well cannot always be had in
a desirable situation, and hence a dug
well will be a necessity. The latter
should be so situated as never to become
the receptacle of surface or under drain
age. If possible, have the we'll upon the
opposite side of the house from your
drains and vaults. A well is really a
system of drainage of itself for a given
area of earth.
Pure air is an important factor in the
preservation of health. 1t is important
That the cellar of the house should be
lmpervious to air and moisture. To this
end, the bottom and sides should be
cemented. Ground air is damp, and is
constantly being created in cellars not
impervious to it. When outside air is
heavy it crowds in rapidly, and if the air
is impure from passing through vaults or
cesspools or ground saturated with
kitchen slops, it is dangerous as it
becomes rarefed it ascends into the rooms
above.
Decaying vegetables should never be
permitted to remain in the cellar. In
TACT, vegetables should not be kept there.
From a sanitary point of view the cellar
should be the c~leanest room in the house.
Cellars should have ample facilities for
ventilation, and it is important that they
should be clean and whitewashed thor
oughly at least every Spring. Not an
uncommon source of bad air is the open
drain, into which the dish-water, full of
organic matter, is. conveyed from the
kitchen.

DREAMS AND ILLUSIONS.
Some Interesting suggestions of the
stuff That Dreams Arc Made OF.

Wundt regards most OF dream repre-
sensations as really illusions, since they
emanate from sensorial impressions
which, though weak, continue during
sleep. An inconvenient position taken
by the sleeper causes the representation
of painful work, perilous ascent OF u
mountain, etc a slight intercostal pain
becomes the point of an enemy's dagger
or the bite OF an enraged dog. Difficulty
in respiration is fearful agony caused by
nightmare, the nightmare seeming to be
weight rolled upon the chest or hor-
rible monster which threatens to stihe
the sleeper. An involuntary extension
of the foot is a fall from the dizzy height
OF a tower. Flying is suggested by the
rhythmic movements of respiration. Fur
Their, "those subjective visual and audi
tory sensations which are represented in
the waking state rs a luminous chaos of
an obscure visual field, by humming and
roaring in the ears, and especially sub
jective retinal sensations, have an essen
tial role" according to Wundt. "There
are shown to us innumerable birds, but
terflies, fish, multicolored pearls,
flowers, etc." But il there be some Gu
taneous irritation, these visions are usu-
ally changed into caterpillars or beetles
oNtl tllc bhlli vi tllc SlttDeT.
The sleeper sometimes dreams of his
appearing on the street, or in society,
only half dressed the innocent cause is
found in some of the bedclothes having
fallen off, An inconvenient position Of
the sleeper, a slight hinderance to respi-
ration or interference with the action of
the heart, may be the cause OF dreams
where one seeks an object without being
able to find it, or has forgotten something
in starting upon u journey. The move
ments OF respiration may suggest to the
sleeper, as previously mentioned, flying,
but this flight may be objective, and in
stead of himself flying, he sees an angel
descending from the heavens or lumi-
nous chaos where birds are swiftly NOV
ing.
The representations OF dreams having
sensorial origin may have mingled with
them those which arise solely from the
reproduction OF past memories. Thus
parents and friends cut off in the flower
of life ordinarily appear in dreams be-
cause OF the profound impression which
their death or burial has made, "hence
the general belief that the dead continue
during the night their intercourse with
the living"
