How Not to Grow Old

The Spanish wit and philosopher.
Quevedo, who in his time gained a repu-
tation for knowing everything, was
asked if he knew of q means whereby IA
person could avoid growing old. Most
certainly" said he; Il know of certain
rules which will surely prevent you
growing DID,"
What are they?"
Keep i'll the sun in summer and in
the wet i'll winter; that is one rule.
Never give yourself rest; that is another.
Fret at everything that happens; that is
another. And then if you take care
always to eat meat cold and drink plenty
of cold water when you are hot you
may be perfectly sure that you will
never grow old!'-London Tit-Bits.

ut is very astonishing" said gentle
man whose business frequently requires
long journeys into the interior Of the
rountry. chow many examples Of innate
refinement Of feeling one comes across
among the toughest of men. A year or
two ago had survey to make Of some
land belonging to one of the largest sill
YER mines in - territory had taken
my wife with me, and Mr.. -, the SUI
perintendent, was most kind in showing
and explaining everything to her. One
morning we were all standing near
shaft. listening with great interest to
his explanations concerning prospects,
veins of ore, values and estimates, when
suddenly we heard some confused sounds
of falling, followed by various exclama-
tions and, we thought. groans.
What is the matter? exclaimed my
wife as the cage came up and big,
sturdy fellow stepped out. Nothing
much, lady, he answered, and he whis-
pered something to the superintendent,
who turned to us with an expression Of
great concern on his face. One of the
men who is working below has had a
bad fall, he said. his shoulder is dis
located and they fear his leg is broken.
Why do they not bring him up at once?
he continued, addressing the great,
brawny, red shirted miner who had
brought the news.
Tom was afraid of frightening tho
lady, and wanted me to come first he
answered. New York Tribune

anywhere.
The principal rooms and their size and
arrangement can be ascertained by exam
nation Of the plans. The dimensions Of
the house through the bedroom and sitting
room Is "a feet, and the total length is 46
feet. The height of the cellar is feet, of
the first story 10 feet, of the second story
S]9 feet The three principal rooms on the
first floor are of good size aud communicate
extra well. The kitchen is quite large and is
intended to be used ordinarily as dining
room also, space in pantry being reserved
for n gasoline stove, where most of the
cooking will be done. A sink and drain
table are placed in recess in the pantry.
Double folding doors connect the sitting
room and Kitchen. The back stairway
starts off platform between the kitchen
and bathroom having n door OH each side,
making a back exit from the bedroom
The front stairway is of pretty design,
having the lower landing extended, form
ing small gallery that can be used for
flowers, etc. The front of the gallery and
the back OF the seat are paneled. The front
window in the parlor is of plate and stained

What's Mime?

From the extraordinary inscriptions
over the doorways and on the vestibule
glass of the apartment houses in the up
per sections Of the city it would appear
that the owners and builders of these are
driven to their wits end to provide strilk-
ing names for their houses. They re-
mind one of the endless rows of VILLAS
with romantic names one sees in the SUI
burbs of London. Only the London af-
fair consists chiefly of name and is usu-
ally proportionately significant inversely
with the grandeur of its appellation.
Here it may be IL first class apartment
house at expensive rentals, mere flat
house for people in ordinary circum-
stances or tenement for poor laboring
families.
The most fantastic, poetical, histor-
ical, geographical, photographed and
even musical and scientific names are
adopted, but you'll find when you come
to fiat hunting that there is nothing in a
name. In some instances the builder
has vaingloriously given the building his
own name and left it to serve as prac-
tical tombstone to register an existence
on earth. But experience has demon
strated that The Crowley" or 1.-The
lockwood" and that illl do not draw like
The Moselle." or THE Amsterdam"
or Tho Paderewski" and so on. Senti-
mental people will demand something
for their money.-New York Herald.

Spare Moments.

Work is good. No one seriously doubts
this truth. But work is not the only good
thing in this world. 1t is not a fetich%o
be adored, neither is it to be judged
like sum in addition, by its outward
and immediate results. DR.. johnson had
scant sympathy with inconsistent and
arrogant industry. No man. sir, is
obliged to do as much as he can. A man
should have part of his life to himself"
Leisure has Il value of its own. 1t is not
mere handmade of labor. it is some
thing we should know how to cultivate,
to use and to enjoy. 1t has distinct
and honorable place wherever nations
are released from their first rude needs.

A New Metal Paint.

The discovery of new kind of paint is
announced which, it is claimed, possesses
in peculiar degree the properties of pre-
Serving metals from rust and is unaffected
by either heat or cold. When applied to
sheet iron, it is found that the coating is
not affected by warm water or steam, nor is
1T at all influenced by the action of acid and
alkaline liquids, ammonia gas, hydro
chloric acid gas and sulphuretcd hydrogen
gas. The principal ingredient of this paint
is silicate of iron which is found in the
neighborhood of natural deposits of iron
ores and also occurs in veins of deposits of
granite which have become decomposed
by contact with the air.-Architectural
