LIVING Inv Rula

Oliver Wendell Holmes thinks that he
owes his good health and the retention OF
his mental vigor, in his S1st year, to the
extreme care he has long taken of himself.
Never robust, he was still wiry in his ear
lier and maturer life; but since he reached
so his hygienic vigilance is unceasing.
The rooms that he daily occupies are
equipped with tarometers, thermometers,
promoters, every kind of instruments, in
short, to prevent his mourning the slight
est risk of taking cold He knows that
pneumonia is the most formidable foe of
old age, and he is determined to keep it at
a distance, if possible. He never gets up
until he knows the exact temperature, dur
ing winter. or takes his bath, without hav-
ing the water accurately tested. He lives
by rule, and the rule is infexible. His
time is scrupulously divided; so much
allotted to reading, so much to writing, so
much to exercise, so much to recreation.
His meals are studies of prudence and di-
gestion. He understands the specific quail
ties of all ordinary foods, and never de-
parts from the severest discretion in eat
ing. One might think that it would be a
serious inf1iction to keep up existence by
such precise, unvarying methods. But the
little doctor enjoys them, having settled
firmly in these habits years ago. Philo-
sophie as he is about death, he has an
eager curiosity to see how long he can
live by following the laws he has rigor-
ously prescribed for himself. He has long
had various theories on the subject of
health and longevity, and he relishes ex-
perimenting upon himself. He thinks
sometimes that he may attain 100, which
he would dearly like. if he could retain, as
he has retained thus far, the full posses
sion of all his faculties.-Chicago Mall.

RARE RU sTIC MAID.

That skirts the shady lane;
Distress looked from her moistening eyes,
Her cheeks were flushed by pai1.
She sped with footsteps light and quick
Along the dewy way,
And scattered pearls where er her feet
In dimpled impress lay.
Painting she flew; the wanton breeze
Toyed with her streaming hair,
And boldly limned her rustic charms
Most beauteous and rare!
''Stay. maiden, stay!'' l softly cried,
Il fain thy grief would know;
What sorrow heaves thy gentle bre asst,
And bids thy tears to flow
"Has fate to thee been most unkind?
Or lover proved untrue?
Why flee We from thy rustic roof?
Tell me fair maiden-do?"
The sweet maids lips quick answer gave
Lips opening as bud;

Bread from Wood.

A German scientist proposes to make
loaves literally as abundant as leaves in
Vallombrosa. His proposal is to make
bread from wood. by chemically convert
ing the fiber of trees into human food
The fiber of wood consists essentially Of
cellulose. Can this be made into starch

plants transform atmospheric nitrogen into
albumen, and that this process can be i'm.
proved. The production, therefore, Of
starch from cellulose, together with the
enforced increase of albumen in plants
would (it is argued) in reality signify the
abolition of the bread question.

will see that this is No. 81, Volume 90.
With this issue the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
completes its first half century of existence.
The TELEGRAPH was as closely Identified
with the old Kenosha in its interests and
growth as the TELEGRAPH COURIER is with
the new Kenosha. The past two years
have seen the largest growth Kenosha ever
saw and that length of time has sufficed to
more than double the circulation and bust
ness of the TELEGRAPH COURIER. This
paper has now larger circulation than
any Kenosha paper has ever had in the
history of this county. These facts are
stated not 10 boast, bnt in simple justice to
the facts.
