AMERICAS OLDEST CITY.
A Condensed II story OF the Town of SAINT
Fee. New Mexico.

A Condensed II story OF the Town of santa
Fr. New Mexico.
There is no doubt that st. Augustine
is the oldest settlement of white men
in this country, but Santa Fe is called
the oldest city because it was city
before the coming of the white man.
When the Spaniards first made their
way to the heart Of this country, about
1912. the site of the present city OF
Santa Fe was occupied by prosperous
and populous pueblo Gown of the
Indians, The expedition of Alvar
Nunez penetrated New Mexico in 1887
that of Marco de MIA followed in 1889.
but Coronado is believed to have been
the first to push his journey as far as
the Santa Fe town. Several other eX-
petitions, more or less unsuccessful.
entered the country, endeav oriug to
establish missions among the natives.
These explorers uniformly reported
that these people We're considerably
advanced in civilization. that they
manufactured clothing and weapons.
built houses of stone several stories
high, and cultivated the soil with dill
gence, and worked mines of gold and
silver. 1t was not until about 1890
thatany permanent Spanish settlements
were made. The Spaniards then liter
ally took possession of the country
built towns, laid out roads, increased
the commerce of the country. and es-
pecially increased the yield of the
mines by extensive workings. They
literally enslaved the natives, com
pelllng them to serve them in every
way. In 1916 the Spaniards made
Santa Fe the capital of their new do
minions. which they called New
Mexico. But the Indians rebelled
against their new masters especially
because of the toilsome labor in the
mines and in 1880 they rose in mum
bers, massacred nearly all of their
oppressors, and drove the remainder
IRON the country as far south as FL
faso del Norte. After several attempts
the Spaniards regained possession of
the country in 1893. Santa Fe was a
Mexican city until it was taken bv the
United States under General kearnev
IN 1886. A Confederate army from

The Shah's Experiment,

...,,,,. IN the Heat Authorities They
a.. Not shorten Life.


In considering occupations rs they
arc likely to effect Longevity those
,ybich obviously tend to shc'ten life
naaa not be considered. With respect
10 The learned professions, II would APP
,e.r that among the clergy the aver
ace of life is beyond that OF any simi-
lar class. 1t is improbable that this
average will be maintained Tor the
f,t,re. the duties and anxieties Inn
posed upon the clergy OF the present
generation place them in II very differ
ant position from that OF their prede-
eessors. Among lawyers there have
heen several eminent judges who at
tanned a great age. and the rank and
file of the profession are also charac-
terized by "A decided tendency to lon
oeyitv. The medical profession sup
plies but few instances OF extreme Old
ape and the average duration OF life
among its members is decidedly low, a
fact which can be easily accounted Tor.
RroIxen rest, hard work, anxieties, ex-
nosure to weather, and to the risks
of infection can not fail to exert
An injurious influence upon health. NO
definite conclusions can be arrived nj
with regard to the average longevity
of literary and scientific men, but IT
might be supposed that those among
them who are not harassed by anxieties
and eniov fair health would probably
reach old age. AS a general rule the
duration of life is not shortened by
literary pursuits. A man may worry
himself to death over his books, or,
when tired of them, may seek recrea-
ton in pursuits destructive to health:
but application to literary work tends
TO produce cheerfulness, and to pro-
long rather than shorten the life even
of an intirm man. In Professor
Humphrey REPORT on Aged Persons. "
containing an account OF S24 individu-
ais of both sexes, and between the
ages of 80 and 100, it Is stated that AZ
per cent. were poor, AZ per cent. were
in comfortable circumstances, and only
10 per cent. were described as being
in aflluent circumstances. DR..
Humphry points out that these ratios
must not be regarded as representing
the relations of poverty and affiuence
to longevity, because. in the frs,
place, the poor at all ages and in all
districts bear large proportion to the
aliluent; and, secondly, the returns are
largely made from the lower and mid
4 L. al. 1rl 4 "a n GA
from the inmates of union warehouses,
where good number of aged people
are found 1t must also be noticed
that the past life history" of these
individuals showed that the greatest
proportion (55 per cent? had lived
in comfortable circumstances, and
that only 30 per cent. had been poor. -

THE BISMARCK DIET.
Liberties Which the chancellor Has Taken
with His Constitution.

The local delicacies of Pomerania are
indigo; tble and deleterious enough,
but Bismarck appears to have prided
himself in taking exceptional liberties
with his constitution. In talk during
the French war he fondly recalled the
days when he could swallow dozen
of hard-boiled eggs incidentally at a
sitting. During tour of several days
in a .fsch-retch hill country, he lived
entirely on trout and beer, although on
that occasion nature protested and sue
cumbed. Yet it would have been well
had he always stuck to beer; but he had
catholic and cosmopolitan taste in
wines. Once in a wine cellar in the
Gironde he tried dozen different vint-
ages, and he used to mix his liquors in
the most outrageous manner. When
