HOW TO LIVE LONG.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Unique Prescrip-
tion for Longevity.

tion Tor Longevity.
One of my prescriptions for longevity
may startle you somewhat. 1t is this:
Become the subject of mortal disease.
Let half a dozen doctors thump you, and
knead you, and test you in every possi-
BILE way, and render their verdict that
you have an internal complaint; they
don't know exactly what it is, BUTT will
certainly 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 twenty
years. and there you are-an octoge-
marian. In the mean time, 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, hug
cling it and kept alive by it-if to exist
is to live. Who has not seen cases like
this-a man or woman shutting him
self or herself up, visited by doctor or
succession of doctors Il remember
that once, in my earlier experience, I
was the twenty-seveuth physician who
had been consulted), always taking
medicine, until every body was
reminded of that impatient speech
of relative of one of those
invalid vampires who live on the
blood of tired-out attendants: II do
wish she would get well-or something"
Persons who are shut IN in that way.
conined 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 their
oil. An insurance Office might make
money by taking no risks except on
lives of persons suffering from mortal
disease. Oliver Wendell Holmes, in
Atlantic.

In all diseases of the respiratory or
gans the horse refuses to lie down.
This will always distinguish them from
diseases of the digestive organs. In
inflammation of the lungs the horse
stands with his forelegs stiffiy fixed and
sloping outwards like the legs of a
rough stool. He is unwilling to move
and, though evidently weak, determined
not to lie down. He stretches out
his head and neck so as to keep his
windpipe as straight as possible,
and lets the head drop low
enough to put the weight on the strong
ligament or cord called the pack wax,
and relieve the muscle from any exer-
ton in supporting the head. His nostrils
opene wide, and their lining is livid
red, turning purple as the disease
progresses. The breathing is quick,
but not deep. AS the blood can not get
through the gorged lungs the circula-
ton is impeded, the heart is struggling
on arteries that have no outlet, so that
the pulse is felt, if felt at all, as mere
feeble, fruitless vibration. The ears
and legs are very cold. Sporting World.

How the Fair Viola brought Her Bashful

Softly shone the sufdued light of the
solitary gas-jet in the parlor of the Bill
derback mansion on che avenue, and
soft was the voice of the abashed young
Erasmus Shackelford. who sat on the
edge of his chair, n.opped his heated

woman in the dazzling aureole of whose
auburn hair he had fluttered in agon-
izing captivity for months and months.

Pea-yine Silage.

According to Texas Experiment
Station, there seems to be little differ
ence between the values of corn and
pea-vine ensilage. The changes in the
pea-vine ensilage in the silo are not
truly such as would have been expected.
The heterogeneous matter in the silo de-
creased, and the fatty acids increased,
as would have been anticipated. But
there was also a slight increase of crude
cellulose and a decrease in nitrogen
free extract. There is said to be an
advantage in Texas silage over that re-
ported from Northern States. The
water is lower, while the other ingredi
ents are all higher, but the crude fiber
not sufficiently so to detract materially
from its value. Orange Judd Farmer,

A Reporter who Was Too Funny.

Just to bluff him, the reporter who
wrote it up made sffidavits to the facts.
Instead of gracefully caving in, as in
such cases made and provided, the
doubter carried the matter into court
whereupon the reporter confessed that
his story was imaginative and was sem
fenced to term in State prison. Now
il we could see justice done to the men
who invent the stories about live snakes

in vaSious remote localities being

According to the Investigations
made by DR. John Crowell, the instances
of poisoning from the use of leaden
pipes in the distribution of potable
water are very rare, the practical fact
which interests the users of water con-
Quoted through leaden pipes being
rather that when mineral salts are pres
ent in the water their action with the
lead causes an insoluble coating upon
the inner surface of the pipe which
forms protection against all the harm

"How is the best way?" some say
when the curl is dead. This may do II
the vine is very thrifty one. Others
say they tell by the thump. Now, this
is very poor test The dead sound,
which is said to be test, will never be
given out by a thick-rind melon, and
the same melon will give out very
different sound thumped in the morning,
and thumped again at midday. Now, |
will give my mode of telling when
they are ripe, which have practiced
for many years, and have rarely pulled
green one. The young melon
at first has glazed appearance
which it loses when it gets TO be about
six or eight inches in length and as
soon as see some in that condition go
over the patch, and with some dull in
strument, such as a nail or point OF
pocket-knife turned crossways, make a
single mark on each melon about one
inch in length, simply cutting through
the cuticle. In about week from that
time go over again and put two marks
on all that have attained the proper
size, and the week following three
marks, etc Now, if you pull one of the
melons marked No. /, aEd find that it is
ripe, you may know that all that are
marked in that manner are ripe, and so
with No. and 3-Cor. Home and Farm.

A Wary Gnnd Reason.

Druggists who are selling Smiths Tonic
Syrup, made by DR.. John Bull, of Louis
rifle, KY, wonder that its sales increase so
rapidly At first they began to buy quar-
ser or half dozen, but found that amount
was sometimes sold in single day, and
now they say they are obliged to buy in
nalf gross and gross lots in order to keep
supply on hand. There is very good reason
why Smiths Tonic Syrup should sell so
well There is not much newspaper adver-
Using done, but it advertises itself Every
bottle used is an advertisement, for it does
Exactly what it is expected to do. 1t will
break up the chills and fever in less time
han any other drug. 1t will prevent and
quickly cure colds, influenza, la grippe, etc.
In fact, it can be substituted for quinine in
,very instance, and with better satisfac-
don, for its effect is more certain and re
liable, and it never leaves the unpleasant
affects that quinine sometimes does.

How to Maintain Good Health During
the Hot Season

How to Maintain Good Health During
the Hot Season.
To maintain a good degree of health
in the summer great care should be eX-
ercised as to diet, both in the amount
and the quality of the food. All articles
which are of heating nature and
which require long time to be digest
ed should be eliminated from our bills
of fare. A great share of what we eat
ordinarily is used to keep us warm, serv-
ing merely as fuel in our bodily furnace.
In warm weather we are warm enough
without so much heat inside; conse-
quently we ought to eat sparingly. A
rational way to keep cool is to take
light meals and drink plenty of water.
Ripe, juicy fruits may be partaken of
freely; fluid foods are good, but we
should avoid sweets, fats and flesh
foods, as these are conducive to heat
making. Sweets and fats are largely
carbonaceous, and though flesh foods
are not directly heating, they are like
blowing the bellows to stimulate COM
bustion.
A great many people take ice water
and ice cream in the vain belief that
they will help to keep them cool, but it
is mistake. Hot water will quench
thirst much better than ice water AS
to ice cream, the articles of which it is
composed are heating and very difficult
of digestion. Itlowers the temperature
of the stomach far below the point at
which digestion can proceed, but which
is nevertheless favorable to fermenta-
ton, and this process usually goes on.
Although ice cream is temporarily
cooling as it passes into the stomach,
it is invariably followed by thirst II
one must eat ice cream, it is better to
take it in the winter when the digestive
powers are stronger and heating ma
terial not so Objectionable. -From Lect-

The agricultural situation in nut
shell is that the prices of wheat and
corn are only low in comparison with
the prices of other necessities. The
farmers must sell their grain for what
it can command in the free trade mar
ket of England, where everything is
cheap, and then exchange the money
they receive there for goods, the prices
of which are artifcially forced up by
protective tariff taxes. When the
farmers compel Congress to thorough
ly revise and reduce the tariff taxes
they will be able to get fair ex-
change in goods for their crops.-Ex.
