uLApsroNE,s VIEWS on HEALTH.

The only casual indications that Mt
Gladstone has entered his 90th year are
an increasing deafness and q slight
buskiness In his voice, which latter
wears off as he talks-and he talks with
abounding freeness, though, as some
one observed, he Is also "a most attrac-
tive listener" One notable thing about
his personal appearance is the bright
ness of his eyes. They are fuller and
more unclouded than those of manya
man under fifty. Mr.. Gladstone was
lowered at his birth with magnificent
constitution, but he has all his life taken
great care of 1t. Talking about Mr..
Bright he spoke regretfully Of the care.

would listen to advice about himself.
Mr. Gladstone told funny little story
about Mr.. Brights habits on this score.
Up to within the last ten years he had
no recognized medical attendant. There
was some anonymous and unknown
person to whom he went for advice and
of whom he spoke oracularly. But"
said Mr.. Gladstone, with that curious
approach TO wink that sometimes
varies his grave aspect, "hc would
never tell his name or say
where he lived" About ten years ago
Mr.. Bright surprised Sir Andrew Clark
by appearing in his consulting room.
Sir Andrew, who knew all about his
peculiarities in this matter, asked him
how IL was he came to see him. oh"
said Mr.. Bright, 'its Gladstone; he

of long neglect had been accomplished,
but Mr.. Bright acknowledged the i'm.
