of Longevity.
1t may seem hard that man who
in youth has known tho pinch Of
poverty, who remembers how the cut
OF mutton with a supply Of potatoes
and green's scarcely suiliced for d
vigorous appetite, should find that in
the prosperity of later life an eight
course dinner fails to tempt him. and
that. nevertheless. his physician
warns him. that, the attack OF govt
from which he is suffering means
that he is eating too much, and that
his diet must be lowered.
Is life, then. never to give salts
factionG Must youth know hunger
and old age safety? Must the poor
muscle-workcr never have enough
food to give energy to his frame. and
must the rich idlcr have SO much to

cording to sweet reasonablcness and

OF science. and II TO these are added
the principles OF Christian coinmun-
ism, the wealth Of later life will not
lead to self-indulgence, but TO the
mitigation Of the sutIerings Of those
who want the means OF life.
One of many splendid examples is
that ola gentleman now in possession
OF large income who In his youth
lived on srlary OF ten shillings d
week. He early made up his mind
that to eat little and drink less would
be his rule in life. To this resolution
he has adhered. though fortune has

Passengers On the steamer Puritan
en- route for New York were the
audience at Newport lately Of bit OF
college burlesquing which may per-
hdps be characterized ms somewhat
rude, but which was Certainly vety
funny, says the Mail and Ex-
press. There was q goodly
crowd of university men upon
the deck and another crowd was
waiting on tho dock. When the two
crowds recognized one another there
was much chatting, cheering md
giving Of the college yells. Things
were getting on very nicely, how
ever, whom, just as the big steamer
was about to swim off, the dock was
invaded by bridal party. Tho boys
watched with much curiosity the
alighting from the carriages, the
congratulations, the huggings, the
kissings, the heartrending fare
wells. They behaved pretty we'll
until just as the embarrassed and
blushing bride was going up the
gangway on the arm OF the beaming
groom an enthusiastic female friend
rushed up after them and casting u
handful OF rice in their wake cried in
a fresh, joyous voice, "Good-by,
| Bessiem
This was too much. "Good-by,
Bessie!" yelled half hundred boy
ish voices. "Good-by. Bessie" and
amid pandemoniuia OF good wishes
the young couple disappeared be-
tween decks. But tho interest in the
affair did not end there.
"What's tho matter with Bessie? P"
yelled one young rascal upon the
boat to the crowd on the dock.
"Nothing's the matter with Bes-
sic. She's all right" came the
prompt answer, given with s-' owl
dent relish from those below.
"What's the name Of the groom?''
came the question.
ave don't know" was tho answer,
ind then, after slight pause, was
added with the same old gusto and
evident conviction, "But he's all
right!'
And so on for halls an hour CUES
tions concerning Bessie were asked
and answered by her new-made
friends, and. though very little in
formation was elected. tho universal
opinion was that she and everything
about her from the groom down wus
satisfactory and entirely "all right. y
Tho young couple vera loft In
peace. but in the morning the gilded
cage was empty, tho birds had flown,
and Bessie is now probably carrying
her own hand bag and pretending to
be u very old married woman.

As the season Of long winter even

how they are to be spent pleasantly
and proGtabIy. The Chautauqua Lit
crary and Scientific Circle is an organ
ization Of people who have united in
systematic way to read good books.
The plan as now evolved includes
four-y years course Of home reading.
The histories Of Greece, Rome, England
and America are the basis, together
with which various scientific and other
studies are taken up. At present the
books are specially prepared 30 as to
be acceptable to people Of all ages. oc-
J cupations and positions in life. They
are all interesting as well as instruct
i've. Persons Of the same locality who
read Che course usually organize a
local circle, so-called, and in the
meetings that arc held discuss the mat
ter that is being read and introduce y
varied programme which adds matcri.
ally to the attractiveness Of the course.
The readings for the coming season
(Which opens October lsD arc cs-
pccially fascinating, including as they
do the history and literature OF that
marvellous people, the ancient Romans.
Among the other interesting themes
are medieval art and literature and pO-
litical economy, the latter being taken
