Exercise for Elderly People,

While the elderly man has less capac.
ity for some forms of exercise than the
Younger adult, he has no less need than
the other of the general and local ef.
fects of exercise. 1t is in the earliest
period Of mature age that the most
characteristic manifestations of defects
of nutrition-obesity gout and diabetes,
in which lack of exercise plays an i'm
portant part--are produced; and the
treatment OF them demands imperious-
ly stirring up of the vital combustion.
Placed between conviction that ex-
ercise is necessary and fear Of the
dangers of exercise, the mature man
ought, therefore, to proceed with the
strictest method in the application of
powerful modifier of nutrition. II is
impossible. however. to trace method
ically single rule for all men of the
same age, for all do not offer the same
degree of preservation. We might, per-
haps, find general formula for the age
at which the muscles and bones have
retained all their power of resistance,
and at which the heart and vessels be-
gin to lose some of their capacity to
perform their functions. The mature
can safely brave all exercises that
bring on muscular fatigue, but he must
approach with great care those which
provoke shortness of breath. h.-Fernand

Inhallne Tar Fumes.

A man stood by one of the boiling
caldrons of tar used by the Broadway
PAYERS. He was thin, cadaverous and
of hectic cheek. Every now and then
he visibly choked with the rising fumes
of the tar People looked at him Gu
riously. He finally coughed rather
more violently than before, when a
workman gruffly suggested that he
might move away if he did not like it.
But he didn't move for an hour. THAT
fellow comes here every day to smell
that tar" said a boss, Hes got con-
sumption, and somebody told him that
the fumes of this tar are good for it.

a WOMAN FARMER.

She Finds Raising Vegetables Profitable
and Pleasant Occupation.
For the past six years Miss Mary E.
Cutler has carried on farm in Hollis
ton, Mass. The farm was bought in
1s41 by her father, who made specially
of the nursery business. Miss Cutler,
however, has been gradually drifting
away from her fathers speciality, and
now pays much attention to the raising
of vegetables for the enterprising man
ufacturing villages roundabout Miss
Cutler superintends the farming, keeps
the books, hires the help and directs
what shall be done day by day. She
does not by any means make drudge
of herself, but finds time for occasional
travel and the exercises of her taste in
literature and art She plays the piano
and paints. sifRa . gf.e39 tti
The farm contains 6S acres In oil, but
only 10 are under cultivation. Miss
Cutler believes that one OF the first es-
sentials of success in this kind of busi-
ness is having a good-looking team;
consequently market-garden wagon,
built expressly for the purpose, with a
pair of good horses, is employed in dis
posing of the produce Of the farm, all
of which is sold within circuit Of not
over six miles From July to Novem-
ber the team makes daily trips, earlier
in the season semi-weekly Her sue
cess is due both to the quality and the
uniformity of the produce and to the
fact that her customers can rely upon
her team calling upon them with posi-
tive regularity.
Miss Cutler intends to work the land
for all it is worth and to have two crops
a year in nearly every case. Planting
| Is going on every week through the
whole season to secure a succession OF
crops or two crops PER season. Squash
follow beets, turnips follow spinach
and Hungarian follows early potatoes,
with such other notifications as the
season and the condition of the soil de.
mands. Strawberries blackberries
and currants are also grown in consid
cradle quantities. There are also
orchards of apples, peaches and grapes
In the early spring the greenhouses
and hot beds come into use, and a'
there are some 1900 square feet under
glass on the farm, this gives an oppor
tunity for hiring help the year round
and Miss Cutler finds that she gets bet

FAST ALUMINIUM BOAT.

The aluminium factory OF Esher,

pany in Europe that has achieved any
particular results in the manufacture
ing of the new metal by means OF an
electrical current turned out the
first aluminium beat OF the world. and
has sent il TO the electrical exposition
ut Frankfort. ia Germany, writes a
Berlin correspondent Before it was
sent away, however, il was tried on
the Lake OF Zurich, whore also the
first trials OF the naphtha motor and
the electric launch took place.
The new boat has the size and shape
Of an ordinary steam launch for ton
persons and is driven by an engine
very similar to that OF the naphtha
boats with the only difference thaS
the flame is kept constantly going.
whether the boat is in motion or not.
The hull looks as il it were covered
with slate colored paint. Upon closer
inspection, however it is seen that
this is the dull gray sheen OF the
metal itself. Inside everything has
this same gray color-with the excep-
ton OF few wooden benches and
utensils, OF course-for everything is
made OF aluuinum. the screws, handles
and hinges, as we'll as the small smoke
stack, which is polished so as TO re-
semble frosted silver.
Not only the visible parts, but also
the rudder. the screw, and the engine
house are made OF the new metal
The engine house alone weighs 220
pounds, or nearly half the weight OF
all the aluminium in the boat As
one pound OF the metal at present
costs about 81. it is easy to calculate
the average price OF such a launch.
The weight Of the whole boat with its
boiler and the pipes OF copper and
the anchor and anchor chain OF iron
is $50 pounds, nearly one-half the
weight OF q two horse power naphtha
launch Of the same size. The fact
that it can be made 80 much lighter
than any boat OF wood or iron-for
the specific weight Of aluminium COM
pared to iron is To 4-of course is one
OF the advantages of the new boat
At the first trial OF speed at Zurich it
made seven miles an hour two miles
more than the average speed of the
Zurich naptha launches. In boats OF
another construction and with moro
powerful motor. OF course, the ratio
OF speed could be considerably in
creased. Another advantage which
will recommend itself TO most boat
builders is that none OF the more inn
portant parts, like the screw or the
rudder, have to be protected against
rust, for aluminium neither rusts nor
furnishes. 1t is this quality. also, to-

"When the microscopic search of
scepticism has turned its attention to
human society, and found a spot on
this planet ten miles square where a
decent man can live in decency, COM
fort and security, supporting and edu-
eating his children unspoiled and un-
polluted, manhood respected, woman
hood honOred, and human life held
in due regard-when sceptics can
find such place, ten miles square on
this globe, where the Gospel of Christ
has not gone and cleared the way,
and laid the foundations, and made
decency and security possible, it will
then be in order for the sceptical

What Sarah Said to Mary.

1t was on Madison avenue car at
6 O'Clock. Among those who had
seats were eight men. Among those
standing were two shop girls. After
waiting for a reasonable time for
some one to offer them seats one of
the girls said:
"Mary, it's too bad, isn't it?"
"What, Sarah?" asked the other.
"That they are all bow-legged.n
"Who?"
"These eight gentlemen. l have
patronized this line for five years, and
1 never saw bow-legged man give
himself away by standing up in a
car. 1t wouldn't be reasonable to
expect it,"
"Of course not" "
In just five seconds eight men were
on their feet, bowling and smiling
and asking Sarah and Mary if they
wouldn't be so everlastingly kind
and obliging as to take seats-take
half the car, in fact, and they took it.
