How to ProlOng Life,

Writing in the Popular Science
Monthly about "the Art of Prolonp
ing Lille" DR.. Robson says: Exercise
is essential to the preservation of
health; inactivity is potent cause
OF wasting and degeneration. The
vigor and equality of the circulation.
the functions of the skin, and the
aeratlon of tho blood are all
promoted by muscular activity.
which thus keeps up proper bal
ance and relation between the i'm
portant organs of the body. In
youth, the vigor of the system is oft
en- so great that if one organ be
sluggish another part will make
amends for the deficiency by acting
vigorously, and without any conse-
quent damage to itself In old ape.
the tasks cannot be thus shifted from
one organ to another; the work al
loted to each sufficiently taxes its
strength, and vicarious actions can
not be performed without mischief.
Hence the Importance ofmaintaining.
as far as possible, the equal action
OF all the bodily organs, so that the
share OF the vital processes assigned
to each shall beproperly accomplish
ed. For this reason exercise is an
important part of the conduct of
life in old age; but discretion is alb
solutely necessary. An old man
should discover by experience how
much exercise he can take without
exhausting his powers, and should
be careful never to exceed the limit.
Old persons are apt to forget that
their staying powers are much less
than they once were, and that.
while q walk of two or three miles
may prove easy and pleasurable, the
addition OF return journey of sim
liar length will seriously overtax the
strength"

Couldn't See a Tree.

A Pittsburger, who recently return.
ed from a trip to Europe, was relating
some of his experiences to a group of
relatives and intimate friends the
other night, and the recital proved
interesting enough to all present, but
particularly to an aunt ofthe voyag-
er, an old lady of 20 odd, who had
never been at sea.
81 think that nothing impressed me
SO much" said the traveller, "as o.
burial ut sen which l witnessed on
the voyage home. The poor fellow
who died was n sailor-he fell from q
yard and crushed his skull upon the
deck. The funeral service took place
IN the afternoon of awarm June day.
l6was inexpressibly solemn. The sea
was as calm as the Ohio is to day
hardly ripple on the waves, hardly
a cloud in the sky.
"A clergyman, who happened to be
on board, read the Episcopal ser vice
for the burial of the dead at sea, and
very beautiful it was. The coffin Law
in the middle OF the group of his fell
low seamen, with the passengers in q
greater circle beyond them. A gang
way had been opened in the bulwarks
to allow the launching of the coffin
into the sea.
There the coffin lay, with the
union jack wrapped around it. The
sea seemed to have grown more calm
than ever. 1t was like polished glass.
Not sign of life over it; not a ship
in sight; not even a gull or flying fish
to break the barrenness OF that great
watery desert, only the great steam
er clearing her Way
But, John" broke in the aged
aunt, couldn't you even see tree?"
The Eruption of laughter at this
point knocked a pathetic situation
into a cooked hat. The story of the
burial at sea has never been finished.

as its witness, and as it was
Thanksgiving the state sat him down
to as fine a dinner as a Vanderbilt
need want. The next mornings
papers came out with a column or
more about the shooting, in which
the boy was mentioned in terms OF
unqualified praise" as the reporters
always say. He was a boy in a
Thanksgiving story at last, and in
one sufficiently sensational to make
him the envy of all other boys.
And, as in stories, the Incl
dent changed the whole tenor of his
life Unhappily, as somebody must
get worsted even in realistic Thanks
giving story, the woman who was
shot died and the boys evidence con-
victed her murderer. The officials
concerned took an interest in him,
praised him as sharp fellow, which
so developed his self confidence that
he made up his mind he could do as
great things as any boy that ever
figured i'll story. He became u de-
tective, and, although youwill doubt
1t, they say he was a good one. |
will admit that this is not the Hottest
calling in the world; but the boy in
real life grew very fond of it, par
ticularly so because it put him into
many stories. To this day he insists
that the people in stories are much
happier than they who never get into
them, and | believe it.
The boy is rich man now and sits
down to Thanksgiving feast fit for
q king. He traces his luck and his
success straight back to the hour
when he got into a Thanksgiving
story.

LIFE IS A BREATH.

o. what is the love or the hate ofmen7
What is their praise or their blame?
Their blame is a breath, but an echo ofdeath
And star that glows bright and is gon.

All! Such is the vanishing guerdon of fame
o, what is the grief OF the Joy of life?
What is its pleasure or pain?
The JOYS we pursue pass away like the dew
And though bitter the grie' time brings relief
- the heart that is wounded again and
again.
0, what is the loss or the gain of time?
And what ia successes fair crown?
The gain that we prize--lol it fades and it
fies
And the loss we deplore as quickly is DER.
There's little to choose twixt LIES smiles
and life's frowns

hate;

One time in n lite, that is all

And most certainly feel that I'm clear;

derer was taken to a torture room and
bound. Recognizing the fact that
no narcotic could influence him, the
operation was successfully Performed
without its use. He will recover in
all probability. The interest in his
trial, which will take place in the
near future, lies in the de 'ense that he
committed the double crime in a tenn
porary fit of insanity caused by the
extreme pain. The case will form an
important chapter in the history OF

Dress in Church,

The archbishop of Canterbury has
recently made strong objection to the
wearing of full dress in church. He
referred chiefly to the displays which
are often made at weddings ana
which, it must be confessed, are some
times extensive. We are not goin to
enlarge on this subject. The only law
IN regard to matters of dress is the
law of moderation and modestv.
Customs which transgress that law
must needs be unseemly everywhere.
But things which are seemIy in one
place may be out ofplace, and there
lore unseemly, in another; and when
the place IN question is the house of
God good churchmen will be ready to
conform to the judgement of the an
pointed authority of the church.
The subject of dress in the ordinary
worship of the church is n matter of
good taste and something more
That a poor girl, whose only appear
anee in n public place Is when She en-.
