One of my prescriptions for longevity
may startle you somewhat. 1t is this;
Become the subject Of mortal disease.
Let half dozen doctors thump you, and
knead you, and test you in every possible
way, and render their verdict that you
have an internal complaint; they don't
know exactly what it is, but it viii GER
tainly kill you by and by. Then bid
farewell to the world and shut yourself
up for an invalid. If you are three score
years old when you begin this mode of
life, you may very probably last 20 years,
and there you are-an octogenarian. In
the meantime your friends outside have
been dropping off, one after another.
until you find yourself almost alone,
nursing your mortal complaint as if it
were your baby. hugging it and kept
alive by tiff to exist is to live. Who
has not seen cases like this--a man or
woman shutting himself or herself up,
visited by q doctor or succession Of
doctors Il remember that once, in my ear
her experience, Twas the twenty-seventh
physician who had been consulted). al
ways taking medicine, until everybody
was reminded of that impatient speech
of a relative of one Of those invalid yam-
pires who live on the blood Of tired out
attendants, " do wish she would get
well-or somethingr' Persons who are
shut up in that way, confined to their
chambers, sometimes to their beds, have
very small amount of vital expenditure
and wear out very little of their living
substance They are like lamps with
half their wicks picked down, and will
continue to burn when other lamps have
used up all theiroil. An insurance Office
might make money by taking no risks
except ON the lives of persons suffering
from mortal diseases. oliver Wendell

Her charms which once delighted
Now are almost wholly sighted
In fact, the fragile maiden's very sadly out

Her baby ways and helplessness our hearts

We have met fair newcomer.
Who does away with hel lplessness and all that

Who's an adept at rowing,
Swimming, tennis, feI cling. throwing
And walks most any distance with an easy,
pleasant swing.
She's graceful. strong and agile.
Not the least bit pale and fragile;
She doesn't paint because her face may catch

She's neither weak nor stupid,
But she's Just the girl that Cupid
With honest joy can join for life with any
