pinned that horse down to the ground SO that
he could hardly move. I did not hear the

about midnight. Next morning went out to
the stable. and it nearly broke my heart to see

From the journal OF Health.

From the Journal Of Health.
When a count is taken it may be expected
that the winning side of the match for health
and longevity will be those who live carefully
and in an orderly fashion. Cornaro. Hum
boldt. Chevreul, Won Moltke, DIR. Graham and
our old friend. DR.. Taylor who recently died over
one hundred years of age, are all practical ex-
amples Of living according to the principles of
hygiene, temporarily and systematically. OF
DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes the same may be
said, as it appears. with some emphasis. Re-
Gently he has spoken of his manner of life, and
attributes his good health and the remarkable
vigor of his mind at eighty-one 10 the extreme
care he has long taken of himself. Never robust
he was, nevertheless, wiry in his earlier life,
and since he reached eighty his hygienic vigil
ance is unceasing. The rooms that he daily
occupies are equipped with barometers. Their
mometers. aerometers and other instruments,
the observation of which may prevent his in
curing the slightest risk of taking cold. He
knows that pneumonia is the most formidable
foe of old age. and he is determined TO keep
it at distance if possible. tie never gets up
during winter until he knows the temperature
or takes his bath without having the water ac-
curately tested. He lives by rule, and the rule
is infexible. His time is scrupulousiy divided
SO much allotted to reading, so much to writ
ing, so much to exercise, SO much to recrea-
tor His meals are studies of prudence and
digestion.
One might think that it would be a serious
infection to keep up existence by such pre-
else, unvarying methods But the little doctor
enjoys them, having settled firmly into these
habits years ago. Philosophical as he Is about
death. he has an eager curiosity to see how long
he can live by following the laws he has rigor-
ously prescribed for himself. He thinks some
times that he may attain one hundred which
he would dearly like, if he could retain, as he
has retained thus far, the full possession of all
his faculties. No serious man of broad view
can regard the interest DIR. Holmes takes in his
health as at all excessive, especially as IT not
only concerns the keeping of a man with us of
whom literary America is proud, but is
scientific demonstration of the value of syste-
matte hygiene applied to the preservation Of
body and mind at an advanced age.

The Health OF the Pope.

From the Lancet.
An italian correspondent writes: "As, in the
popular belief, no cardinal can die without his
being followed Immediately to the grave by
two Others, SO. in the journalistic world, the
autumnal holidays can never set in without
sensational rumors as to the health of the pope.
The present season has already had its quota
Of such canards-a little stronger on the wing
perhaps than In former ones The truth as to
the condition Of his holiness is simply this:
Leo XIII Is an octogenarian who leads q busy
life. sometimes, indeed, SO very busy that his
strength is hardly equal to the strain imposed
on it. On these occasions there is generally q
recrudescence Of two chronic ailments-to wit,
intestinal catarrh, with sympathetic response
of the renal organs. Moreover with advancing
years he has betrayed something like the initial
stages OF senilo anaemia. These symptoms
concurring after ON unusual press Of business
are apt to terminate in considerable prostrs-
ton Of bodily powers, the mind remaining
clear and active, and this prostration Is in turn
followed by extreme, sometimes alarming, SOM
nolence. From this, however, his holiness
always emerges with renewed strength and
general abatement Of the complications to re-
sumo his learned labors and meet the demands,
administrative or diplomatic, Of his post His
health is carefully and skillfully watched BY
physicians devoted to his service. They have
lately prescribed for him q course Of sand
baths heated to q temperature OF so degrees

In support of an application for new trial
in the suit of Frederick Michel and Walton
Townsend against James b. Colegrove of this
city in the superior court of New York city
yesterday affidavits were presented alleging
that he had obtained copy Of the con-
tents of a sealed commission issued from the
superior court to take the deposition of DIR.
George Battelson of London, England. Then,
before the courts. official document was ex-
pressed abroad, Colegrove is alleged to have
sent copy of the interrogatories to the witness
Battelson with letter coaching him as to
how he should answer the important questions.
The suit of Michel and Townsend was to recover
what they claimed to be their share Of the profits
from the sale of Colorado gold mine to an En-
glish syndicate. Mr.. Colegrove denies absolutely
that he secured the contents of a sealed COM
mission and sent them to DR.. Battelson. He
says the allegations made against him are SIM
ply in furtherance of q scheme to trump up
cause on which to rest an appeal from q decis-
ion rendered in his favor.
