Given a man whose life is devoted to
professional pursuit and who draws
chiefly on his mental energies, how shall
he get the most and best out of himself,
and reach his maximum limit Of lon
gevity2 There are two seemingly oppo-
site methods now on trial. The one is
hearty food with plenty Of athletics, the
other is moderate diet, avoidance Of ex-
citement, and good air. The athletic
type Of health seeker eats hearty food
and brings his digestive and alimentary
organs into the fullest activity. In
order 10 absorb il and dispose Of the
surplus of waste matter in the system he
takes active physical exercise every day.
In short, he keeps the physical mill hard
at work constantly. The seeker of
health through abstinence eats moder-
atety, his purpose being 10 tax his
alimentary organs no more than Is nec-
essary. If he can keep his organs
healthy he does not need 30 much ex-
ercise, since there is less matter in the
system to be assimilated and disposed Of.
BE keeps himself as calm as possible
and avoids friction, but insists upon

exercise. Which Of these two health
seekers is pursuing the best course,
which will do Ia the aggregate most
work, and which will wear out soonest?
Immense attention is devoted to
athletics, but far less is said Of abb
stinence and the avoidance Of useless
friction The wonderful feats Of fasting
during the past few ears have created
intense interest in the medical world,
and certainly point to the possibility
that the great mass Of brain workers
oveFburden their 81 stems by eating too
heavily Of strong foods shat properly
belong TO men engaged exclusively in
bodily labor. Athletics are the natural
supplement and corrective of such diet.
But is it neceBsaryP Possibly, as in
other things, the middle line in these
matters is the proper one But, at all
events, the two methods of getting the
most out of ourselves are very interest
ing subjects Of contemplation and study.

that is series of extensive and care.

OF the European manufacturers, and
these manufacturers have never had be-
fore and never will have again so good
an opportunity to meet the representa-
tives of the commercial interests of the

at Chicago in 1898 One Of the main
i objects Of the Pan-American Congress
Of last year was to get these people in

share of their trade away from the
European nations, who now practically
have the whole of it 1t makes no diff

ers think about the markets of the
United States or about the Mckinley
bill, their largest interests on this con-
tinent are In the markets of Central and
South America. They now control that
trade and will go to any length to pre-
vent the United States from getting
that trade from them. European man
ufacturers understand perfectly that
the trade of Central and South Amer
lea is likely to be lost by them entirely
unless they make a desperate struggle
at Chicago to retain it in opposition to
/ the growing competition Of American
manufacturers and merchants. This
consideration alone insures a large and
representative exhibit Of the industries
and manufactures Of every important
European country.

IN OR OUT OF DEBT.

The comparative table prepared by abe
Census Commissioner of the mortgage in
debtedness of Iowa and Alabama Is instruct
i've. Both are agricultural States, though
Alabama has lately figured as producer of
iron. The area Of both is about the same,
and the soil is about as good in the one as
in the other If Alabama can produce cot
ton, which Iowa cannot, Iowa can produce
more and better wheat than the Southern
State. Alabama has the advantage over
Iowa Of having entered the Union thirty
years sooner: but Iowa has the much more
important advantage Of having bsen pee
pied with a more enterprising stock, and of
containing more of them. Notwithstanding
these analogies, which might have been eX-
pected to lead to parallel results. the mort
gage indebtedness of Iowa is about saven
times as large as that of Alabama-Say
$500, 900, 900, as against S30,OO0,Oo0. In both
cases about three-fourths of the indebted
ness is on farm lands.
The discrepancy may in part, though not
altogether, be ascribed to the superior en-
terprise of the citizens of the Northern
State. In Iowa men Of small means have
been in the habit of taking up and cultiYat-
iug more land than they could pay for. and
have borrowed money on bond and mort
gage to pay for il. In Alabama there are
few small holdings, and it has not been easy
to borrow money on large plantations. In
Iowa for a score of years agents of Eastern
and European financial companies have
stood ready to lend money at s or 10 per
cent on improved farm property. The same
class of lenders would. have nothing to do
with Alabama so long as the future rela-
tions Of the two races remained unsettled.
Cotton planters in the old days were famous
hands to borrow money. They are rather
more conservative to-day, having had a bit
ter experience of the agony of debt.
One cause of the heavy mortgage indebted
ness of farm land in Iowa is the migration
which has been going on for years from
that State to Nebraska and Dakota. A very
large proportion OF the population of Iowa
has moved west within twenty years. To
raise money for the move and to stock
their new farms they have mortgaged-
when they could not sell-their holdings in
Iowa. Perhaps half the farm mortgages Of
the State were increased for this purpose
There is modern school of economists,
as we have heard, which holds that debt is
the true source OF prosperity, and that We
can all grow rich by borrowing our neigh
bors' money. If so the financial situation
of Iowa ought to be a source of envy in
Alabama
