The Art of ProlOnging Life.

Somewhat different advice must be given
with regard to bodily exercises in their refer
ence to longevity. Exercise is essential to the
preservation of health; inactivity is a potent
cause of wasting and degeneration. The
vigor and equality of the circulation, the
functions of the skin and the aeration of the
blood are all promoted by muscular activity,
which thus keeps up a proper balance and re-
lation between the important organs of the
body, In youth the vigor Of the system is
often so great that if one organ be sluggish
another part will make amends for the de-
ficiency by acting vicariously, and without
any consequent damage to itself. In old age
the tasks can not be thus shifted from one
organ to another; the work allotted to each
sufficiently taxes It's strength, and vicarious
action can not be performed without mis-
chief
Hence the Importance of maintaining as
far as possible, the equable action of all the
bodily organs, so that the share of the vital
processes assigned to each shall be properly
accomplished For this reason exercise is an
important part of the conduct of life in old
age but discretion is absolutely necessary.
An old man should discover by experience
how much exercise he can take without ex-
hausting his powers, and should be careful
never to exceed the init. Old persons are
apt to forget that their staying powers are
much less than they once were, and that,
while walk of two or three miles may prove
easy and pleasurable, the addition of a return
journey of similar length will seriously over
tax the strength. Robson Roose in Popu-
lar Science Monthly.

When Persian lady is ill and requires the
attentions of physician, she must be con-
cealed by a screen, and he makes his inquiries
without seeing her. She may be permitted
to put out her hand and wrist in order that
her pulse may be felt, but only when actually
necessary. Among the lower classes in the
villages little more freedom is permitted in
consulting doctor, for they live a more
communal life, and the physicians in the
rural districts are itincrants, who on arriv-
ing at a village open an office under broad
plane tree by the side of murmuring brook.
Of course yelled, the women flock around
him, and he prescribes heroic doses, some
times adding a charm to be worn over the
suffering member, consisting of an extract
from the koran inside of an amulet. After
dosing the village and carefully collecting
every fee on the spot, the rustic Esculapius
prudently decamps to the next village. If
the patient RECEIVERS, praise is given to God
as well as to the doctor; if he or she dies, the
result is laid to kismet, or fate, but at the
same time it is well that the doctor should
not be on hand, for human wrath is liable to
overcome faith in the DEGREES of destiny

Corydon. Ind, boasts historical elm tree
under whose spreading branches tradition
has it that a session of the Indiana territorial
legislature was held. 1t is known that an
extra session of the legislature was held at
Corydon during a summer while Indiana was
territory 1t is also believed that the tree
was then large enough to shelter such a body,
and as it stood upon cool, messy bank near
a spring. and only a short distance from the
Capitol, it is quite probable that the members
of the legislature would leave a warm, crowd
ed room and repair to such a cool spot. A
convention was held at Corydon in June, 1916,
for the purpose of adopting constitution for
the new state. 1t has been reported that this
convention was held under the famous tree.
1t is known fact that in a later day the
grand jury for the Harrison circuit court
held sessions under the tree. Many visitors
on reaching this place ask to see the historical
tree, and are referred to this spreading elm,
whose body measures 10 feet inches in cir
conference and between the tips of the limbs
is distance of lis feet.-New York Star.

de Five Dollars,

The easy in which people may be
humbugged, and the great power that curl
osity can exert, is illustrated in little story
told by DR.. Richardson this morning. He
told of man who owned a SOW and pigs
ordinary scrub stock. He placed one of the
pigs in box and carried it to town, and
with mysterious air intimated that the box
contained great curiosity. His friends We're
anxious to get peep into the box, but he
persistently refused to let any one look into
it. Finally, one mans curiosity was so great
that he offered small amount for the privi-
lege of looking into the box While disput-
ing about it, others made similar offers, until
five dollars was secured. The owner then
reluctantly consented for the box to be
opened, when 10 and behold! it was an ordi-
nary little pig. People love to be hum
plugged, and the man not only made five
dollars, but was more popular than ever

Lower London on a Holiday.

1t is great review of the people. On the
whole, how respectable they are, how sober,
how deadly dull! See how worn out the poor
girls are becoming; how they cape; what
listless eyes most of them havel The stoop in
the shoulders SO universal among them merely
means overtoil III the workroom. Not one in
a thousand shows elements of taste in dress;
vulgarity and worse glares in all but every
costume.
Observe the middle aged women; it would
be small surprise that their good looks had
vanished, but whence comes it they are ami
NAL, repulsive, absolutely vicious in uglinessi
Mark the men in their turn; four in every
five have visages so deformed by ill health
that they excite disgust; their hair is cut
down to within half an inch of the scalp;
their legs are twisted out of shape by evil con-
ditions of life from birth upward.
One of the livelier groups is surging hith-
erward: here we have frolic; here we have
humor. The young man who leads them has
been going about all day with the lining Of
his hat turned down over his forehead; for
the thousandth time those girls are scream
ing with laughter at the sight of him. Ha.
ha! He has slipped and fallen upon the floor !;
his companions treat him like horse that
is 'downn in the street. Look out for his
'eels" cries one; and another, "Sit on his
'ed!" If this doesn't come to an end we shall
die of laughter One of the party is

"You did not know that Ismay was ill!
Ismay is dying, sir! l am sure, if you
would go to her, if you would speak kind

better You must not refuse me. For the

"And you forgive me?" said the low
voice.
There was short struggle, and then
Paul laid his hand on the trembling arm.
Il forgive you," he said; and they left the
house together.

spected his independence.
They made a compromise. Ismay went
to her husband. and Lionel remained with
Lord Carlswood as his heir. Paul says
laughingly that he can spare one son, for
the old walls of Rayensdale resound with
childish laughter and the music of chill

Obstinate Children.

she was one day kept without food, and sent
to bed hungry and exhausted, for not reciting
some lines by heart, the punishment being
inflicted ON the superstition that she was will
fully obstinate She said that she does not
now think herself to have been naturally OBJ
stinate, speaking generally; and, in this par
ticular instance, she added: "But what no
one knew then, and what know as the fact,
was that after refusing to do what was re-
quired, and bearing anger and threats in
consequence, lost the power to do it. be-
came stone. The will was petriied, and 1
absolutely could not comply She expressed
the conviction that the obstinacy was not in
the mind, but on the nerves, and that what
we call obstiuacy in children, and in grown
people, too, is often something of this kind,
and that it may be increased by mismanage-
ment or persistence, or what is called firm
ness in the controlling power, into disease or
something near to it-Dorothea in Ladies'

An Embarrassing Gift.

In India the viceroy is frequently
the recipient of embarrassing attentions
from the native Princes, whose pres
ents are not always confined to the rich
stuffs and cunning goldan silver work
of the East. The Nepaul Dunbar well
coined Lord Lansdowne to India by a
present of IL couple of pretty piebald
ponies with long tails. some gold coins,
silver ingots and n number of Tllibetan
novelties. All these it may be easy to
dispose of, and Lady Lansdowne would
no doubt come to the Viceroy's assist
ance in finding u use for the ponies and
the rest of the presents, hut what can
the Viceroy do with the fonr elephants
that also formed part of the gift? They
would play sud havoc with the trees Of
Bowood were they to he introduced to
that charming spot i'll Wiltshire. But
the chances are that the four elephants
will be treated as received by Lord
Lansdowne in his official capacity, and
will go to swell the army Of elephants
owned by the Indian Government.

Another chicago Sensation.


". j. McGarigle, ex-warden of the
county hospital and general agent of Cook
county's famous doodle gang, who escaped
from the custody Of Sheriff Matson and
reached Canada many months ago, walked
into Judge shepard's branch of the county
court at Chicago the other day accompanied
by States Attorney Longneckcr and others.
States Attorney L~ongnecker said an
arrangement had been made that McGari-
gle should pay q fine Of 81, 200 and go free.
He said Mcdonald, who was co-defendant
with McGariele. had been granted q new
trial, but that the state did not desire to
try him again. The difficulties in the way
of a successful prosecution of q new trial
were insuperable. McGariglc originally
was given three years in the p%enitentiary
by the verdict Of the jury and q fine Of
1000. The verdict was set aside by the
supreme cou,t of the state fifteen mon. his
after he escaped from the sheriff. There
were twcnty-three indictments against
him. 1t was on one of these, the one n
der which he and Mcdonald were tried.
that he was fined. The other twenty-five
were stricken off. The costs of the trial
and those resulting from the forfeiture of
his bonds amounted to about $1,000. This
amount and fine was paid to the clerk of
the court and McGargle and Mcdonald
are ono 0 free men.
