Those Who Nav Live Long.

Better. perhaps. than any Of the single
temperaments would be a mixture of the
sanguine and the bilious. and. indeed all
the examples of special life storage which
have yet with have been Of this heredi-
tary adInixture.
The organism which is best constituted
for life storage is. therefore. capable Of
being identified. and stands out, so TO
speak, in its own colors. The color of the
iris. or curtain Of the eycball, always an
excellent test, is light hazel; the hair
is dark brown; the color of the skin is in
clined to be florid. and the lips and eye
lids are of good natural red-never pale,
as in the pure nervous temperament, and
never Of dark blush tint. as in the lynn
phatic or Emphatic bilious. In this
mixed temperament Of the sanguine and
bilious. preponderance of the sanguine
is, believe, always an advantage.
The qualities here enumerated, as repre-
scented in an organism well fitted for the
storage of life, are absolutely Of heredl-
tary character. They spring from COM
binations Of parentage, and when the
combinations are unalloyed by the intro
duction of any disturbing elements Of
disease the conditions for long storage
are fortunately combined.-Dr. Benjamin
Ward Richardson.

A story of LongfcIIow.

A New York paper, in some pleasant
gossip about Mr. l.ongfellOw, tells story
of the way he treated the charges Of
plagiarism against the Indian poem " Hia-
watha. in following closely both the
form and substance Of The kalevala,
the national epic of Finland. When they
began TO appear he showed profound in
difference on the subject; but before long
his publisher thought best to call his at
tention to them and suggested that a
reply from the poet be written. well,
III think ABOUT il, ." said Mr.. Longfellow,
and there the matter dropped. The press
continued to echo and re-echo the charge;
and the publisher again called on the poet,
saying, Really. Mr. Longfellow, ! think
it is high time this charge was answered.
Again Lougfellow said, IN see about
it," adding, quietly, How is the book
selling?" "Oh, wonderfully well" said
the publisher. Better than my other
books?" "Oh, much better. and he named
the figures.
Shortly after this interview (Mr. Long
fellow still keeping silence), The Tribune
came ont with almost q page Of broadsde
on the subject. The publisher was now
really excited lie called on the poet again.
1T will not do" he said, very decidedly,
ito let this thing go on any longer.
How does the book SELF" asked Longfel-
low. "Amazingly-thc sale is already
equal to the combined sales of your other
books. Then" said LOngfellow, Il
think we ought TO be thankful to these
critics. Let them talk. Seems to me
they are giving us a large amount Of
gratuitous advertising. Better let them
alone" And let alone they were.-Chi-

abort Canned Goods Poisoning

Yet. with all the advantages Of canned
goods. some people abstain from their use.
because they think they are ulwholesome.
Ills idea has arisen from the fact. that
among the hundreds of millions of tins
annually consumed. there is now and then
one imperfcctly sealed. thus admitting
the air and spoilirg the contents. These
are easily detected. from the fact that they
generally have "swelled" or pulled up
ends, and. after opening. by the exercise

stances. prepare :. for the table and eat II
without the slightest discrimination. This
sometimes results in more or less severe
attacks Of cholera morbus. which, in these
days Of sensational press dispatches are us
ually announced as canned goods poison
ing. Beforet the invention Of canned goods,
cholera morbus vas as common as it IS
now, but it was called cholera morbus,
and not canned goods poisoning.
II is beginning to be understood by the
medical profession and the public. that
this tpye Of illness is largely the result OF
the decomposition Of organic matter
which. in its earlier stages. develops a
form of alkaloid poison. technically known
as ptomaines, but such cases are more
common with spoiled meat, fish, milk
cheese and ice cream than from canned
goods. and it is safe to say that, consider
ing the enormous amount of canned good:
used. they arc more wholesome than any
similar amount of food not canned

Obesity Unhandsome and Unsafe

Stoutness is not only unhapdsome and
inconvenient, but unsafe. II clogs the
organs. gives the heart more work TO do,
and the system more to carry. Stout
people are pretty sure 10 have erysipeias
or kidney disease or cancer. and are just
as likely to melt down in consumption as
lean people. Then overfesh is attended
by impairment Of mental power, dizziness
of sensation, and indifference to the feel
ings of others. The children Of stout
young women are likely TO have inferior
vitality and go off with marasmus. The
great cause of obesityY Inactive life. 1t
is not what you eat SO much as what you
do with it that determines flesh. Men

dinners and sitting in offices the rest OF

Women the same. The only food should
taboo. unless in peculiar cases, would be
