Scientific men see no reason why ,ht
span of human life may not be extended
TO a round hundred years from the pres
ent limi, Of seventy to eighty years.
The age to which persons lived varies
in Old Testament chronology.
From Adams time to that OF Methu.
selah and Noah, men are recorded as at
tanning to well nigh the age of 1000
years. The Psalmist David, however,
says: "The days Of our age are three.
score years and ten; and though men be
so strong that they come to fourscore
years, yet is their strength then but labor
we are gone"
This wide margin Of longevity, to-
gethcr with proper observance of mental,
moral and physical laws, leads investi.
gators 10 believe it is possible that human
life might be made TO increase in length
Of day to a full century, at least.
Moderation and regularity in eating.
drinking and sleeping are conducive to
longevity, and those who observe
proper habits and use pure and efficacious
remedies when sick, may accomplish i'm.
mense labor with no apparent injury to
themselves and without foreshortenlng
their lives.
Hon. IL. II. Warner, president of the
Rochester, n. u, chamber of commerce,
and manufacturer of the celebrated War
ner's Safe Cure, has devoted much time
and research to this subject of longevity.
end has arrived at the satisfactory CON
ciusion that life may be prolonged and
mans vlrile powers increased and pre-.
served at the same time by rational and
natural means. Thousands OF persons
are living today-eDjoying the blessing of
perfect health and vigor-who will tes-
lily TO the almost magical efficacy of
Warmers Safe Cure in restoring them to
physical potency and to the normal type
OF o n Tuition, after they had almost
give up hope of life.
After middle age, many begin to lose
their wonted vigor of body, and there
npon give way to ipertness and useless
repining. Yet all such have within reach
that which bo,h renews youth and con.
tributes to the prolongatlon of life.
Warner s marvellous Safe Cures are in
every drug store. and are now regarded
as standard specifics throughout the
civilized world.
The strong desire to attain old age
meantime retaining the virile powers Of
body and mind is necessarily connected
with the respect paid to aged persons,
for people would scarcely desire to be
Old, were the age neglected or regarded
with mere sufferance. That is a high
civilization in which age is made a source
of distinction. OF all marks of respect,
hat to age is most willingly paid. be-
cause every one who does homage to age
may himself, eventually, become an OBJ
ject of such homage.

Her Frat Negro.

New York Times: Fourteen year. old
Susanna Ivanyak. who arrived recently
from Hungary on the Saale, on her way
to her brother in Cleveland, was not ia
vorably impressed by her first glimp ses
of American life. She had never before
seen a negro or any one of a darker
shade than her fellow Hungarians
When she was placed ander charge OF
superintendent Simpson she happened t.
ONE suddenly face TO face with the
bnotblack who does business in Castle
Garden.
This bootblack is Of o particularly
dusky hue, and the effect produced by
the sight Of his visage nearly threw the
little Hungarian into fits. She threw ur
her hands and screamed with fright
Major Sempsey, the officer in charge of
the girl, treasured her in a few hssty
words Of the Hungarian dialect that
Pete was not the ruler of the Internal
regions, but merely a harmless American
citizen. This quieted the little girl
The negro was still an object Of much
interest to her, however, during the re.
mainder OF her stay at the garden.

Washineton's Foot Race.

March st. Nicholas: People who hav
FORGOTTEN Washington's battles remem
Der the cherry tree n his Ratchet
Weems started that pleasing tale, and !
is lie who tells also Of a race on foot be
tween George and his neighoor, Lang,
Dade."
First, lei me tell %you-for boys today
resemble the Apostle Paul in one thing
certainly; they like 20 prove all things
thal among the many authors who have
written about the youth Of Washington,
+; Tie one upon whose preserves all the res,
| have browsed, whose quaint stories have
! come to be our classics, was this very
| Parson Weems.
People who have grown up in the
neighborhood of Mt. Vernon, where
Weems was well known, are not quite
sure whether there ever was a Ratchet
or, for that matter, even a cherry tree in
the garden of excellent Mr.. Augustine
Washington, near fredericksburg
For Parson Weems was reputed to have
q very vivid Imagination. He used to
q dbt q totbtJ ~ al oto
fashioned gig with q calasb, peddling his
own books and others, from plantation TO
plantation. When he succeeded in max
ing a sale, he would whip out the fiddle
that always accompanied him, and, stand
ing up in bis gig, play the merriest, mad
dest dance.music. The negroes, who
stood gaping round his gig, could no
nor resist him than the rats could resist
the Pied Piper Of Hamelin! First, they
swayed, then they beat time with foot
and hand. and at last broke into a regu
lar constructing jigl When Weems re
I'VE night at the house of one of
his patrons, he would volunteer to read
family prayers, and at the moment the
last Amen was said, would fall to play
ing reels and jigs upon his fiddle. His
sermons were the oldest ever heard from
a Church of England clergy man. He
was often at Mt. Vernon, and frcm Gen
eral and Mrs. Washington he re-
ceived many kiLdnesses. In the
course Of much fires dc gossip,
his wande-ings from one
country house TO another, Mr.. Weems
picked up the ~anecdotes OF W ashington's
youth, which he has told in his book.
And If you are ever SO fortunate as to
visit the rooms of the society library in
University place, New York, ask permits
sion to see a copy they have there, ar
early edition of this famous Life of
George Washington" 1t was published
in 1914, with an introduction by Light
Horse Harry Lee"
And now for the loot races, as reported
by Parson Weems: '"Egad! be ran won.

friend John Fitzhugh, esq, who knew
Washington well. we had nobody
hereabouts that could come near him.
There was a young LsnghOrn Dade, Of
Westmoreland, a COMPOUNDED clean made,
tight young fellow, and a mighty swift
runner, too. But then, he was no match
for George. Langy, indeed, did not like
10 give 1t up, aud would brag that he had
sometimes brought George TO q tie. But

seen them run together many a time, and
