A Good Rule.

enthusiastically one hears the &c
tails of the life of this man or that wom-
an who has lived to be eighty-ive or
ninety years old, his or her habits being
stated as illustrations of what it is neces-
sary for a person to do to live long. l
I believe there are nearly as many
methods of reaching an active, comfort
able old age as there are persons, and
that what will serve one person will IN
lure the other one. There is one rule,
however, which if followed will l be-
lieve help all persons to live to an adj
yanced age. Believe that life is worth
living, like to live and avoid worrying
about anything. Doing this one cannot
conscientiously abuse his or her stomach,
and with the stomach used decently the
rest follows. Free Press.

EXTINCTION OF BIG GAME.
All Large Wild Animals May Soon Be
DIFFERENTIATED.

All Large Wild Animals May Soon Be
Exterrninated.
The fate of the American buffalo
seems to be rapidly overtalking %the big
game all the world over. At the last
meeting of the British Geological socie-
ty Mr.. Dryden showed that the African
giraffe was rapidly becoming thing
of history A few years since, he said,
herds of seventy or eighty of them
were met in various parts of Africa,
while to-day twenty is a very large
herd. Both natives and foreigners hunt
them so 1nercilessly that they are dis
appearing DR.. Henry Schlichter in a
paper read before the British associa-
ton a few weeks ago says that ante
lope, lions. buffalo, rhinoceros, giraffes
and other large animals, which were
met with in abundance when the coun-
try was first explored, are no longer to
be found in any part of southwest
Africa on account of their ceaseless
slaughter by European hunters, as
we'll as BY the natives since the latter
have possessed breech-loading guns.
The most important among these ami
mails, the elephant, has wholly disap-
peared from this part of Africa except
in the neighborhood of Lake Ngami
Anderson, one of the explorers of this
region, said that twelve hundred pounds
of ivory could be bought for a musket
According to Livingstone, in three
years not less than nine hundred ele-
plants were killed near the little
Tonga river alone. How much their
number has diminished is shown by the
present very small ivory export from
Walfish bay, which amounts to about
fifteen hundred pounds per annum,
while in 1875 it was as high as thirty
seven thousand pounds.

Beauty often depends on
plumpness; SO does comfort;
so does health. If you get
thin, there is something
wrong, though you may feel
no sign Of it.
Thinness itself is a sign;
sometimes the first sign;
sometimes not.
The way to get back
plumpness is by CAREFUL
LIVING, which sometimes in
cludes the use of SCOTS
Emulsion of cod-liver oil.
Let us send you-free-a
little book which throws much
light on all these subjects.

Big Insurance In New York.

If there is anyone in New York who
is not loaded up with life insurance it is
not because Of any oversight on the
part Of the enterprising agents. New
York is the home OF several of the
largest companies, and it has been the
policy of all hands connected with them
to see that no4one escaped. Chauncey
M. Depew, FIRST in some other things, is
believed also to be first among all New
York in the matteref life insurance.
His holdings are placed at $500, 900.
Next to Depew isl. A. Bostwick, of the
Standard Oil Company, with s3ab,000.

Bernhardt's Bed.

Every one has heard of Sarah Bern
hardt's curious bed, which is like no
other one to be seen in France or else
where. It is nearly fifteen feet broad,
and when the fascinating Sarah is indis-
posed and receives her intimate friends,
reposing on her couch, she looks like a
red plumaged bird floating on great
sea of white satin.-Philadelphia Uphol-

what the End VIII Be.

According to the theory of Sir Viii
liam Thompson, the end Of the world,
which is 10, 600, 900 years in the future,
will not be brought about by excessive
heat, as limited in the Bible, but by the
remnant of humanity being frozen to
death.-St. Louis Republic.

This subject could be dwelt upon to a
considerable length, and yet much
would remain untold, but all agree that
the use, the proper use of pure rye
whiskey is an absolute necessity, especi-
ally SO now, when nature insists upon
being stimulated. All regular physici-
ans prescribe rye whiskey, and Justly
claim that Klein's Silver Age and Du-
auesne Whistles are most reliable.
They do this not only because they have
tried them but because the leading hos
pitfalls use them-fnd them the best

A MENACE FROM THE ISTUUUS.

While there are radical differences in pO-
litical policy which arc to be decided in the
approaching election, there is at least one ques-
ton on which both parties are in full accord.
That is the maintenance Of the Monroe Doc
tIine. Both parties in their National platforms
and by legislative action have revealed I'M
compromising hostility to foreign domination
or control of any portion Of the American Con
tnent where il has not been already acquired
or exercised The principle was recognized and
embodied in treaty law when the Panama rail
way was built, forty years ago. The agree
ments then made and the protectorate of the
property acquired by the United States were
wholly in harmony with the Monroe Doctrine.
The same principle was proclaimed anew in
Presidential messages and in Congressional
resolutions when the construction Of the Pana-
ma Canal was undertaken. The Monroe Doc
trine has never been renounced in its applica-
ton to that work. The enterprise, however,
was regarded with apathy by Americans be-
cause it was clearly an impracticable scheme
Ii is this feeling OF Indifference, caused by lack
of faith in the canal project that explains the
lethargy displayed by the United States Gov
eminent during recent years in regard to the
Panama railroad. Without protest Americans
have witnessed the absorption of the stock of
that railroad by the canal corporation, While
the grant for the building of that railroad was
made to an American corporation and was
regulated by treaty so AZ to comply with the
letter and spirit of the Monroe Doctrine, nearly
every share of the stock of the company is now
in foreign hands and the business is controlled
by a receiver appointed by the French Gov
crnment. In oider to cover this change an
American Board OF Directors has been allowed
the nominal direction Of the compalYs affairs,
