man remember that the tobacco habit IL ac-

When once fastened upon them they are in
shackies of iron that it is almost impos-
slble to break. A friend Of mine did
this and said afterward for all the
money in the Bank Of England he would not
again endure the horrors of that struggle.
Let the young man remember that the way to
fortune is to earn and save the first thousand
uouars. Honest fortunes come in that way,
earning and saving. The habit Of saving,

OF $500 year; he spent the whole OF It as
ne went on, and now at the age Of fifty
years he has saved nothing. I knew another
young man, who bya stroke Of good fortune
came to the same salary. Up to that time he
had been always poor, though industrious and
prudent met him in the street one day and
said; now save; now You have good chance
to lay the foundation of a fortune" He needed
my advice, as he afterward told me, and today
he Is a man OF independent fortune, a.
free now with his money, for good objects, Is
he had been careful and prudent. Itall came by
self-denial by saving and by wise investment
OF what he saved. The one man now gives
ms notes instead of cash in payment Of shoe
bills and grocers' accounts the other pays cash
always for his needs, with hundreds for per-
sons and objects worthy Of help. Young man,
choose which path you will take, this or that;
each leads to a different end.
A healthy life and long one must largely
depend upon the comfort of one surround
ings. Sufficient food and suitable sufficient
clothing adapted to ones needs; sufficient and
comfortable shelter-in o word q good home,
with all its attachments and surroundings
adapted to ones wants and needs, is necessary
to healthy and long life. ALI this--none Of it
can one have without money, and this comes
to the great majority Of people by earning and
the good oil 1t comes by saving. Without that,
wages go but q little way in promoting COM
fort.
THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
The actual cost, loss and waste, direct and
indirect, coming from the liquor traffic in this
country is not less than twenty-five hundred
million dollars annually. 1t is safe to say that
two-thirds of this enormous sum, viz more
than fourteen hundred and fifty million dollars
Is paid and lost by the wage earners of the coun-
try. So much withheld from the necessaries
and comforts of life. Poorer houses and fewer
OF them; less clothing and poorer: insufficient
and unsuitable food; less fuel and more suffer-
ing from cold; more disease and less chance Of
recovery; more and speedier deaths among all
those who furnish their share of the fourteen
hundred and fifty million dollars for drink
Ihey cannot spend their wages for whisky and
peer and at the same time supply their families
with comfortable and abundant food, fuel
clothing and suitable shelter from inclement
skies This answers your question whether or
not prohibition would increase the average
OF life In the United States. That this problem
Will be solved at some time in this country
have no doubt Our people will by and by
wake up to the enormous folly, the sir, shame and
crime, of giving sanction of law to a system
whereby S22, 900 900 annually are lost to the
nation. leaving nothing behind to show for it
put aooundlng poverty, pauperism, wretched-
ness, CRIME and premature death. There are
more than 100, 000 lives in this country short
ened annually from five to twenty-five years
each by the drink habit, the most of which
would NIL out their allotted time but for the
drink traffic now established by law.
Does any one ask when this deliverance will
come! answer on that day when the Ameri-
can church shall arouse itself from its un-
timely and prolonged lethargy and take its
share In the great warfare against the saloon
now going on in this country; a struggle
which Charles Buxton, member of the British
parliament, declared to be a warfare between
heaven and hell. The church will wake up to
Its duty by and by and will be no longer false
to it.
cAssIUs N. CLAY on HOW TO KEEP YOUNG.
The Hon. Cassius NJ. Clay of Kentucky is
another octogenarian who seems to be endowed
with perpetual youth. He writes concerning
longevity and how to secure it as follows
WHITEHALL, KENTUCKY
Dear Sir-Your letter upon long life is re-
celved Some curious statisticians aver that the
average life OF animals is five times the age Of
maturity. Taking that age in man to be twenty
he should live one hundred years. The Jewish |
savants truly said. ''The fathers have eaten |
sour grapes and the children's teeth are on |
edge. But fortunately for me:

through life mostly to inheritance IN exercisa \
and to open-air living. |

and could never do well on less Or course the
time required for sleep varies with constitu-

folly to be wise.''

dlcta in mind to be always comfortable if they
can. think the highest development of animal
life is in temperate chimes and under favorable
surroundings of food, clothing and shelter.
Sudden changes of all sorts should be avoided.
