Furnishes the Means.
Dr. Ebstein, OF Goettingen, daliv-
cred long discourse on this subject,
from which we take the following:
The question as to the natural dura.
ton of life is first to be answered. Ac-
cording to the latest discoveries the
average length of life. in the natural
order of things. is from seventy TO
seventy-five years Women live some-
what longer than men. The mortality
among children, particularly less than
n year old, is very great From the
age of puberty till the fiftieth year.
the death rate is small from that time
it becomes greater each year. Too
great an old age is u questionable
blessing, because a renewal of youth
can be reached in no way whatever.
1t is evident therefore. that the nor
NAL limit of the age of man is that
which is attained without bitter break
ing down and suffering The first con-
dition is a good foundation. descent
from parents physically and mentally
healthy. OF further Importance is
suitable maternal care of the child.
Then comes the school and military
training for the increase of the powers
of resistance. In advancing life. q
proper activity must not be neglected.
IAN unused life is an early death"
The correct means toward reaching a
good old age were given by Moltke
when that question was going the
rounds These were Temperance

eating and drinking, but the same
must be practiced in every direction.

He listened in wonder and surprise.
AS oaths and epithets flowed out of

OF his own vituperation, he moved
away, and when all was done man

BROAD TEED VEHICLES.
A movement to Encourage Owners OF

a Movement to Encourage Owners OF
Heavy Trucks So, Use Wide Wheels.
The proposed ordinance to encourage
the use of broad tired wheels, ON traffic
vehicles, in this city. introduced by Al
derman Mann, Is to. be commended. It
is in the.line of Improvement that should
long since have been resolved upon, and
ought now to be adopted. The ordi-
nance provides that any person desiring
to- use any wheeled vehicle for traffic
upon the streets in Chicago shall first
obtain License therefor, and that the
fee for such license shall be in proper
ton to the width of the tire and the
maximum load, including the, wagon
The minimum fee IS 81 for all vehi-
Giles. and this is all that is to be charged
for wagons. and trucks having tires of
not less than ~ inches, however great
the weight they bear. But for tires of
ri inches OF, less. the cost of the license
is 50 for one ton and rises from that to
$50 for four tons. For the latter weight
on tires of and 81 inches the fee is
$685. for inches $40, small r weights
being charged for In proportion
The ordinance properly provides that
the we7ghtof the vehic1eshall be counted
in with that of the load, but is defective
in not pointing out some way in which
it may be ascertafned if the licensee tells
the truth when he applies for the Ii
cense, OF. if his employees load the vehicle
beyond the specified weight without his
knowledge. Surprising that he or they
put load Of 1900 or 2 900 pounds on
wheels licensed to bear only half ton,
who Is to. tell that the terms of the ordi-
nance are being evaded, perhaps in hun
dreds' of cases every day?
Lit would be we'll to provide that every
licensed vehicle must carry Il plainly
posted statement of the load it is allowed
to bear on its wheels, and that it shall
be the duty of police officers or others to
watch for infringements ON the limit SO
stated on the vehicle. The policeman
should be instructed that in every case
where he thinks he has good reason to
believe the load exceeds the prescribed
maximum he shall cause the vehicle to
proceed to the nearest available scale
and there be weighed. If he finds the
total load to exceed the limit, it should
then be his duty TO take the offender to
the nearest police station and enter com
plant against him, SO that the law can
deal with the person responsible for &
breach of the ordinance
By these means the taxpayers will have
insured to them the preservation Of such
pavements as have been put down in
good shape; there will be an incentive to
insist upon the proper performance of
contracts for paving, and the taxpayers
Will be saved enormous sums that are |
now spent in repairing and relaying
street pavements years before they ought
to be worn to the point of repair or re-
newal.
1t is notorious that the vehicle which |
has narrow tires in proportion to its
heavy load breaks up pavements rapidly |
and badly, and is the most destructive |
to these which would be most desirable |
were it not for the mischief wrought By
narrow tires and causeless tearing up OF
the streets. Chicago Tribune

Advice to Young Artists.

lists: Stop inventing. Give up Your
cherubs, your castles, your moated
oranges, for the live babies, the farm
house and the rail fences that are all
about you. Go to q good art school and
test your capacity. There is nothing
better to take the conceit out of one
than to enter Il large studio. Draw and
continue to draw, but always from a
model and never from imagination,
and if circumstances SO hem you in that
you cannot leave home for the large city
studio find a good teacher connected
with an accredited school Of art who
will teach by correspondence, and do
not presume to open q studio and invite
visitors to buy your pictures until You
have had the training of the schools.
You are making grave mistake. Your
work betrays not only immaturity. but
ignorance. You will be ashamed Of it
as soon as your eyes are trained. Close
your studio and go to school. "-Provi-

THE BANKRUPTCY La U.

II NJ
/ The Fifty second congress has. had
many opportunities that it has failed
to take advantage. of. Those oppor
tunities are by no, means exhausted,
and the Torrey bankruptcy law, now
before the house, furnishes another
The present session of congress will
probably be fraitless in legislation of
a political character, therefore the
Torrey bill is exceptionally opporbnne..
1t is purely business measure and it's
passage is demanded by reason.
There can be no doubt of the ex-
pediency of a uniform bankruptcy
law, preserving to the creditor and
debtor alike all Of their ethical rights.
Under the present system, whereby
each state establishes practice of its,
own, long delays and often fraudulent
practices are resorted to-; and not
seldom the homes debtor is prevented
from settling with his creditors as
speedily or as fully as he would like.
Frauds can be practiced under amy
system of legislation, but the Tonrey
bill, by providing a uniform practice
in bankruptcy, will close many open
doors, that are set ajar by the present
independent sets of state laws. The
Fifty second congress has not as yet
made for itself an astounding record
as business mans congress, but
there is yet time to retrieve itself.
The passage of the Torrey bankruptcy
law is one chance that ought not to
be lost.-Stdtesand7o
