His Wound Not Serious-Regret at the DC
curreuce Throughout Japan.

His Wound Not Serious-Regret at the Oc-
curreuce Throughout Japan.
Dispatches have been received at the Japan
ese legation announcing the continued favor
able progress Of the Russian crown prince. His
wound proved, after the first alarm, to be
slight, and upon reaching his hotel he was able
to converse with those about him. He slept
soundly the night after the attack
and no fever or other unfavorable
symptoms appeared. One Of the imperial
princes, accompanied by several court ply
sicians, left Toxic for Kioto Immediately after
learning Of the attempt upon the life Of the
crown prince. The minister Of foreign affairs
and the minister Of the interior went at the
same time. The emperor left on the same day
by a later train and arrived at Kioto on the 18th
instant where he was received at the station
by Prince George Of Greece on behalf of the
crown price. Later In the day the emperor
visited the crown prince and had an interview
with him.
The attack upon the crown prince has caused
feeling OF profound regret throughout Japan.
The press, both Of the capital and the Prov
inces, Is unanimous in condemning the act Of
the would-be assassin, while everything posi-
BILE has been done by the government to show
its regret for the untoward event. The crown
princes assailant is a half-crazed fanatic, who
does not himself appear to have any clear idea
why he attempted the murder. He was proba-
bly, melted in q measure by rumor which cir
culated some time ago among the more ignor-
ant classes in JAPAN 70 the effect that the crown
princes visit had some connection with de-
sign on Russia's part to attack Japan. The re-

LnLIAN's HEROIC EYYoRTs.
In her heroic efforts to keep herself within
the limits Of what may be called eight opera
weight Miss Lillian Russell has evolved out Of
her own inner consciousness an exceedingly
good course of training. Indeed, she has
almost arrived at what is known as the ';New-
market sweating' system. by which jockeys
are trained down for racing. It would not be
safe for every one to start in at once on this
treatment, but Miss Russell has gone 30 far that
II she goes just little further she will have the
Newmarket sweat in perfection, following
which have been assured that o person can
lose seven pounds day without injury.
HOW TO TRAIN. SOFIA ~
Persons training should arise at any hour in
the morning, before preferred, and dress in
heavy fannels underneath the ordinary gar
ments. This in order not to attract attention.
The more clothing they can carry the better.
Let them walk as fast as possible for twenty,
forty or sixty minutes until thoroughly bathed
In perspiration and then return home at a
smart rate and jump into bed between blank
cts with all hannels on and pile on a double
allowance Of bed clothes. (Caution-Keep all
windows closely Then let an assistant bring
half pint or pint of hot tea, without milk OF
sugar, and after drinking as much required.
lie in bed still well covered for about half an
hour, then rise and sponge the body with tepid
water, use a rough towel and put on a change
of linen. You will then be in the very pink of
health and feel as If you had suddenly lost your
burden of fat. This system can be considera-
bly, moderated, of course. The sweating"
can be done in the evening almost as WE'LL but
the morning is preferred. The hat, gloves,
shoes and wraps should be removed, but not
the dress, if of flannel 1t is better to wear an
old dress and keep it on during the Sweat
If Miss Russell would take about three New
market sweats a week, summer and winter-in
fair weather, Of course-she would soon take
off to stay her superfuous fat, of which she
has several pounds too much, notwithstanding
her constant training In height Miss Russell
is about five feet three inches and weighs $50
pounds. This is exactly twenty pounds in ex-
cess of what she should weigh. according to
the average weight table. For her profession
Miss Russell should never allow herself to
weigh more than 1876 pounds. Every addi-
tional year Of her life will increase her tend
ency to obesity, and the more difficult will re-
duction become, even to SO determined =

From Senator Morrills went to the house
of Senator Evarts and / found here another
spry statesman of three-score years and ten
who decidedly objected to being called old.
Said Mr.. Evarts. as he walked with digniied
tread into the library:
Il really do not feel fitted to express an opin-
ion upon the secrets of longevity and you
should call upon Mr. Morrill, for such an e1-
preston. He has lived number Of years
more than / and should be considered the sage
of the Senate"
But, Senator" said /, ''you have lived
three-scOre years and ten, and would like to
get the advice of such hard-working young
old men as you are for the youth of today as to
how they may lengthen their days"
well" replied the senior Senator from New
York, as a smile crept up over his lips and
stretched itself down to his shirt collar and
gradually travelled up to his twinkling ewes,
'the only way know for young men to lengthen
their days is to steal some hours from the
night"
The Senator went on to say that he considered
his health due largely to a good constitution
and amoderate degree of prudence in his living,
added to good luck He then turned the con-
yersation to the doings Of Congress and though
he talked delightfully."- about the Senate and its
possibilities, he would say nothing about
longevity.

NNHE OLDEST STATESMEN IN THE
l. country are the iolliest. man who IN sew
enty can afford to be witty, and he who has
lived to be eighty, and still feels well, ought to
laugh and be merry all day long. Senator
Justin Morrill, is now eighty-one and he can
laugh with all the vigor of a boy whose voice is
changing. He was born in 1910; began life as a
merchant, then turned farmer and finally grad
uated Is statesman. He hangs to his seat In
the Senate like grim death For thirty live
years he has been in public life and his con-
gressional career is more than a generation.
Still at eighty he is tall, well-formed and fine
looking, and though his shoulders are a little
bent with age, his eyes are bright and his brain
still active. He is very much adverse to inter
viewing and the gist of my conversation with
him Was that he felt as young as he used to be
and that he by no means considered himself an
old man
