Causes for Present-Day Ailments.


| Probably the most potent factor Of
! present-day ailments is the allegiance
| iato which the muscular system is
PERMITTED to fall by dwellers in
cites, who are daily becoming more
dependent on artificial means of loco
notion and Cd labor saving apparatus
until disorders of digestion and ner-
x0us maladieS are now as common
among the comparatively poor mem
bers OF the community as they are
among those who are wealthy; in
deed, while the 1ich man endeavors
to overcome the mischief wrought by
his sedentarY life by riding in the
park or playing golf. the poorer man,
who is'qnable to afford these pleas
urable exercises, neglects his mus
cular Developments and invariably
mounts his omnibus or tumbles into
his train rather than waste the time
necessary for brisk walk or a half
hour in the gymnasium.
The English Volunteer movement
and the popularity of the bicycle have
tended to counteract the disuse Of
the muscles engendered in a large
proportion Of town residents, but
there are still numbers of persons of
both sexes who require vigorous
muscular exercise in order to main
tain health. The Capitalization of
many domestic industries may have
improved the character of the pro-
ducts thus manufactured or of the
work performed, but when bread was
made and washing was done at home
the female members OF many fami.
lies fairly well of, but not too richly
endowed with this worlds goods were
proftaDly employed in kneading the
dough and ironing the linen.
Healthy exercise of the muscles be- |
ing in many cases no longer regarded |
as necessity for the maintenance of
well-being, the latter end of this
century has produced the revival of a
practice which is recorded in the
earlist medical papyrus in the British
Museum, verifying the old adage that
there is nothing new under the sun.

CENTENARIANS.
Interesting Revelation of Recent French
Investigation.

| Interesting Revelation of Recent French
Investigation.
There has been in France of late a
considerable Development of scientific
and studious interest in the question
Of longevity. For more than a cent
urY the successive French govern
ments and forms of government have
maintained system of registration
for every citizen, which makes it DOS
siblc to ascertain with reasonable
certainty where and when every
French man or woman was born,
where he or she has lived and trav-
eled, and what he or she has done
Every French person must have
what is called an acte de naissance,
or birth certificate, which is properly
attested, recorded and viseed from
the beginning of his earthly career,
SO that he can be identified at and
moment, and any ymisstatementw which
he may make about his personal his
tory detected.
These social registers have been
kept so long that it is possible to cor
rect the mistakes which very old
people sometimes make about their
age.
In France, not many years ago, the
statement was made IN a statistical
journal that there were at that time
living in the entire republic no fewer
than 2O9 persons who had passed the
age of 100 years. This statement
was doubted by M. TurQuan, chief of
the Statistical Bureau of the French
Ministry of Commerce; and the doubt
led this official to begin an authori-
tative investigation Of the question
Whenever the statement was made
that any person had reached a cent
urY in age, NJ. Turquan had the birth
certificate looked up.
The inquiry developed the fact
that instead of more than 200 CEN
tenarians In France, there were just
eighty. Forty-two of those were 100
years old; fifteen were 1O1; seven, 1O2;
six, 1O3; five, lO4; three, 1O5; one was
112 years old, and one had reached
the undoubte6 age Of 116 years
1t was and Interesting, but not
surprising circumstance, that the
majority Of these. centenarians were
found living in or about the Pyrenees
MouDGains, where the climate is
healthy and stimulating, but not Sc
pere, and where the people live simply
AMI temporarily, with little animal
food.
The curious fact was developed by
the inquiry that considerable num-
Der Of people claimed to have reached
the age OF 100 years who were much
younger. Two men and one woman
who had not yet reached the age Of
forty years reported themselves CEN
.tenarians! 1t is probable that the
dread OF advancing years had so
wrought upon these PERSONS minds
that their reason was unstrung, and
they already imagined themselves
eentenarianS.

Whoever has seen Cornish funeral
knows how 'ilka lassie has her laddie"
in the melancholy procession, and not
only are there lads and lassies, but
more mature couples. It is a matter
not only Of ceremony, but choice. A

day, to parishioner whose end was

ssSweet Charity"

In the Artists Exhibition of 1888 at the
New York Academy of Design, there was ex-
hibited an oil painting by J. l.. q. Ferns;
entitled "Sweet Charity" Its richness OF
coloring commanded instant attention,
while the lesson it taught was so impressive
that one naturally returned to it for a second
view.
It's subject is a young lady of colonial
times who is on an errand to one of the poor
er families of the town. She has sensible,
charming face. which expresses with remark
able fidelity the sentiment of her errand.
There is not home that this charming pic
ture will not ornament. 1t must be seen to
be appreciated.

piiCdGlOu OI u. -. CdlQWell, an assessor
'at Wichita, has given an opinion on the
subject of taxation which promises to be
far-reaching in it's effect. 1t has been
customary IN Kansas to assess property
at about 30 per cent of its value, and
Assessor Caldwell has found that hun
dreds of men in his county who are
possessed of property of about the real
value of $500, but which under this
custom is assessed at little under 5000,
escape taxation altogether under the ex-
ception law, which allows the head of a
family $500 worth of property free from
taxation. Attorney General Little says
that if this custom is to continue prop
erIy must be entered at its full value as
the law provides, the amount of exemp-
ton deducted from this total, and then
the balance be assessed on the one-third
plan. If this decision be followed it will
result in immense increase in the amount
OF the taxes or proportionate decrease
in the rate of taxation.
